Gloucester Animal Control
With More Fake Evidence?
I have to make this
statement before going any further. If one digs enough, one can
always find fault in any legal case. Overall a legal case should be
very sound despite fault being found. In this particular case, I
continue to find so much fault and so little sound evidence from
where I am looking that one can not help but to trounce all over it.
The above audio is four
minutes and thirty seconds long. Using Gloucester County's own
documents, we see some very serious issues here that can not be
ignored. This is audio file DW_0152 and was produced by Steve
Baranek of Gloucester County Animal Control. This audio was produced
using a pocket digital recorder. The date of this audio is May 4th,
2010. The entire length of this audio track is one hour four minutes
and fifty five seconds long. This exact file was used as evidence in
a Gloucester County Circuit Court to prosecute the defendant/occupant
of the home we have been reporting on.
Below is a snapshot where
Steve Baranek testifies in court that this recording is a true and
accurate recording. (That also goes for the other audio clips we
have already produced from this main audio).
Keep in mind that Monique W
Donner, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney was well aware of this
recording before going into court and she accepted this recording as
evidence as did the attorney for the defense, Michael T Soberick,
Esq.
Now let's look at a
section of Sgt. Paul Emanuele's Offense/Incident Report for this same
case.
When we listen to the
audio recording above, Steve Baranek would have us believe he is
driving up to the defendant/occupant's house. Steve states that the
time is 9:06. (AM). Now look at what Sgt Paul Emanuele states for
the time of his dispatch and the time of his arrival at the
residence. Sgt Emanuele states he was there at 8:58 (AM). That
means when Steve Baranek pulls into the driveway, he should have seen
Sgt Emanuele's police car and Sgt Emanuele. Yet Steve never
acknowledges seeing anyone in the audio clip above that is four
minutes and thirty seconds long. But wait, Steve should also be
meeting a number of other people there as well according to Sgt
Emanuele.
Steve should be also
meeting Carl Shipley, Jeff Stillman and Shaun Doyle. Yet he never
says anything either to or about these guys. How can that be? How
can anyone possibly be expected to believe this recording unless Sgt
Emanuele got his facts very wrong or maybe, the recording is a false
and inaccurate piece of evidence? In our professional opinion, the
recoding is very false and highly inaccurate. Our opinion is that
the recording is so chopped and manipulated that it's not worth a
thing as evidence for the county and should have been thrown out.
These days most courts do
not even allow this type of evidence into the court because it is so
easy to manipulate the recordings. Now what I will tell you is that
I did make a few minor cuts in the above recording. The cuts I made
were to the personal information that I removed to protect the
defendant/occupant of this case. I also cleaned up the sound track
to make the audio easier to hear and understand. No other changes
were made by us.
Let's move on to the next
issue. Steve Baranek starts to play with his phone and you can hear
the phone keep repeating, “Say A Command”. That means you can
hear what's going on through the ear piece of the phone. Yet, when
he claims to be making a call, you do not hear anyone on the other
side.
I find that highly unlikely
and believe he was faking the call. I would love to see the phone
records for that call. The time of that so-called call took place
was 9:09 (AM). The proof is on Animal Control to prove this call and
time is accurate as it has to 100% match up with the recording for
the recording to be a true and accurate record of events. Anyone
care to bet that the county can not produce this evidence? Anyone
care to bet that the county does not even try?
Also, if you listen to the
above audio very closely, you do hear a number of people in the
background talking as well as their radio dispatches broadcasting.
These are people Steve Baranek never acknowledge. Another issue, if
Steve Baranek claims that he trimmed areas out of the recording
because they were just not needed, well, then that is not a true and
accurate record of events then is it.
Further, if it could even
possibly be imagined that the above call did take place, why didn't
Steve Baranek state the reason why he was there? He was there with a
search warrant? He had a legal obligation to state just that or his
phone call could be considered nothing more than harassment. Are you
seriously going to tell me that those who are charged with
investigating and must do so with the use and tools of a search
warrant is not trained in the laws of such? Could this possibly be
evidence that the concept of a search warrant had not even been
thought of yet? See the last article and ask yourself that exact
question.
So what we are looking at
here, in our opinion, Steve Baranek's testimony is false and
misleading and needs to be expunged from this case. The same with
Holli M Cohoon's testimony. That only leaves Sgt. Paul Emanuele's
testimony. In the future we will be re printing the entire 96 page
court report. Sgt Paul Emanuele's testimony is pretty much nil and
contributes about nothing to the case. The entire case needs to be
thrown out and all charges removed in our opinion. We will elaborate
on Sgt Paul Emanuele's statements and report in the future as this
too has holes that are huge gaps.
I can not begin to
understand how Michael T Soberick, with all the same evidence we both
have and have looked at, could not begin to see any of these issues?
Or did he and he just didn't do anything about them? Did he throw
his client to the wolves? Come on now. Mr Soberick is a highly
esteemed Gloucester County attorney. It's like we said, this case
has more turns and surprises around each corner than you can ever possibly imagine.
