What Happens When the Wrong People Get Power?

"I'm just going to come right out and say it, who put the car on the Avery property?"

I. What Happens when the wrong people get power.

For many years I have analyzed different murder cases, and the majority of the cases I’ve agreed with the verdict, and the accused were punished. People may feel the punishment was too harsh or too lenient, but they were punished and it was another example of our great legal system.

Then there were cases where a guilty person is either freed or found innocent by a jury of their peers, such as former FBI agent Art Gonzales, whom I listed as a case study on our website, PavlishConsulting.com. This is sad and hurtful not only for the family of the victim, but it hurts me personally. Unfortunately, in these cases I understand we still have a great legal system, and when twelve people see things differently, then there is nothing I, the government or the public can do.

However, nothing is more nauseating and upsetting then knowing an innocent person is in jail, especially when it’s at the will of individuals of authority.

When a person is accused of a crime they are at the mercy of people that wield tremendous power and control. Their fate is in the hands of Police Officers, Judges, District Attorney’s, Assistant Prosecutors, Special State and Federal Police, Court Staff, Corrections Officers, and many more. Some people in these positions thrive on power and control. Most of these elected, appointed or hired employees realize they have have been bestowed tremendous power, and if used improperly can cause tremendous harm. They have the power to change the course of peoples lives as entrusted enforcers of State and/or Federal laws.

It is not plausible or believable to think that every single person of power working for any village, town, city, state or federal organization is able to handle this enormous power they are given responsibly.

It is not plausible or realistic for any American to believe that some individuals wouldn't be smart enough to reference or use their position of trust as a tool to hide their wrong doing or the wrongs of others.

It is not plausible or realistic to believe that once they are given their title and power that the citizens of the United States should be embarrassed or shamed if "We the People" question their actions. In fact, it is We the People that should be insulted when we are scoffed at and belittled when we see obvious mistakes and cover-ups.

When some citizens are given a title, a badge, a uniform, a state ID card, state issued weapon and power, their descent into the dark side begins the minute they take an oath to protect the citizens of this great Country.

Power and control can be a very destructive drug. More powerful then any street drug such as cocaine and heroin in every sense. When someone is having a power trip, it is the same experience someone would have on an acid trip. Once they are on the drug of power, it distorts their reasoning, judgment and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

Reality, reasoning, common sense, caring, compassion, good judgement, morals, and values are replaced with delusions, feeling of euphoria, feelings of being invisible, recklessness, carelessness, uncaring, the ability to reason, and the ability to distinguish or care about what is right and what is wrong.

This power trip gives them the callous and cold ability to take human beings and essentially use them as a lab rats at their discretion. These power-hungry selfish, cowards seek out and find other week, selfish, cowards that have authority to befriend.

This is without a doubt the case with Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, who are sitting in jail right now because of numerous people who had the power and control to use them for their own agenda. They could care less how many people they hurt, or how badly.

Quotes

"The most common way for forensic evidence to be planted is by re-labeling the forensic swabs." - Dr. Karl Reich, PhD

A former New York City narcotics detective testified in court that planting drugs on innocent people was common practice, a quick and easy way to boost arrest numbers. Stephen Anderson, the former detective, is now cooperating with prosecutors and is spilling the beans on the crooked practice of framings and false arrests, often to reach arrest quotas. “It was something I was seeing a lot of, whether it was from supervisors or undercovers and even investigators,” Anderson testified in Brooklyn Supreme Court. “It’s almost like you have no emotion with it, that they attach the bodies to it, they’re going to be out of jail tomorrow anyway; nothing is going to happen to them anyway.” The Drug Policy Alliance, a group that promotes alternatives to the war on drugs, issued a statement calling the case against the officers indicative of larger, systematic failures. “One of the consequences of the war on drugs is that police officers are pressured to make large numbers of arrests, and it’s easy for some of the less honest cops to plant evidence on innocent people. The drug war inevitably leads to crooked policing — and quotas further incentivize such practices.” - Huffington Post, October 13, 2011

A crucial aspect of Zellner’s effort to overturn Ryan Ferguson's conviction was obtaining two recantations from key witnesses whose testimony placed Ferguson at the crime scene. They admitted to lying after being pressured by police and prosecutors. Zellner has become a standard bearer among civil rights attorneys and has long been known as a fierce courtroom advocate — armed with a recorder-like memory, trial techniques that include videotaped re-enactments of crime scenes and, perhaps most crucially for her clients, an ability to elicit the truth from co-defendants or witnesses who have previously lied about innocent defendants’ involvement in crimes in order to save themselves. Quite simply, she gets people to talk. And to tell the truth. - Chicago Lawyer Magazine, December 2014

“What drives me is the abuse of power—the bullying and the victim. I have such a strong reaction when I see people who can’t defend themselves... When I watched the Avery case, I felt that the attitude toward him by the prosecutors and the state was that he was disposable. It was almost like a class thing. [His family] didn’t matter, they had no power. The longer I watched it, the more angry I got.” - Kathleen Zellner, Newsweek, April 8, 2016

“We are continuing to examine every aspect of Mr. Avery’s case and all of his legal options. We are confident Mr. Avery’s conviction will be vacated when we present the new evidence and results of our work to the appropriate court.” - Kathleen Zellner, The Wrap, January 11, 2016

“There is evidence that already exists in the case that points to a different location and a different suspect. We've got a combination of forensic evidence and a tip from somebody that we've interviewed multiple times that we think is credible... I've never seen a more graphic, compelling illustration of a crime scene that was fabricated.” - Kathleen Zellner, The New York Times, August 18, 2016

During a press conference on August 26, 2016, Kathleen Zeller said: “[In the post-conviction petition] we're going to lay out all of our investigation that we have done that will point to a third party. That was not successfully done at the trial level. I think the most reassuring thing is that we are going to get to the bottom of who killed Teresa Halbach... we're not going to disclose that until we do the post-conviction petition. But I can tell you that the testing we've already done will establish Mr. Avery's innocence. But we are going to do the whole thing; we're going to do every conceivable test. We've been contacted by scientists all over the world, volunteering, offering us ideas. And now we've got it pinned down to the testing we need to do to determine once and for all: was the evidence in the vehicle planted, was the DNA on the bullet planted, was the car key planted, was the DNA on the car key planted? We're going to be able to answer all of those questions because it's been almost 10 years since the verdict and there have been really huge developments in forensic science... Because he [Avery] never made any incriminating statements. The [Dassey] confession has been invalidated. So you're down to the evidence at the crime scene. You're down to the key, the hood latch, the blood in the RAV and the bullet.” When asked, “Do you just have one suspect in mind or are you looking at multiple suspects?,” Zellner replied, “In fairness, yeah, we are looking at multiple people, but we are narrowing it down.” And when asked, “What can you tell us about the suspect?,” she answered: “Nothing. Nothing. Not until I file [the post-conviction petition].”

“Not 1 but 8 plants: bullets, bones, blood, camera, cellphone PDA, key, car + false confession. World's best experts on it. #MakingAMurderer” - Kathleen Zellner, Twitter, January 17, 2017

“There’s always an element of misconduct. Police, prosecutors—They’re actually able to sleep at night knowing they’ve convicted an innocent man. They rationalize it. They say ‘I didn’t convict him, the jury did!’” - Paul Henderson, Private Investigator, May 7, 2013

"My biggest problem with police interrogations is they don't believe anything you say. So right out of the gate everyone is a liar as far as they are concerned. They are pretty much trained to be cynical of society and given power over them at the same time. They claim you are lying, while they themselves lie. To them, the end justifies the means when you’re a police officer protecting the citizenry from the scum of the city." - Reddit

“I think people become jaded when they spend too much time as a prosecutor, or if they first come to be a prosecutor after being a victim of some kind. They start seeing all of the accused as a subclass of humanity that doesn't deserve due process. Then they start watching Nancy Grace, and hanging around with the like minded, until their journey is complete. Unfortunately it is within human nature to descend down these paths to prejudice, to form self congratulating, witch burning mobs, and to rationalize the injustices they cause by dehumanizing their victims.” - magilla39, Reddit, October 11, 2017

"She’s not intimidated by anybody. In particular, she doesn’t have much respect for authority. She has a willingness to challenge and be skeptical of authority. And she has a real compassion for the underdog. Most of the people in prison are dangerous, violent criminals who belong there—she knows that. She’s not starry-eyed about criminals. But she’s not starry-eyed about people in authority, either." - Robert Zellner, January 2018

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rededicated his department to working with local law enforcement on civil asset forfeiture efforts that bypass the need for criminal convictions to seize property—and also bypass state and local safeguards. Forfeited funds are split between federal and local agencies in a lucrative arrangement for everybody but the victims. "Equitable sharing" collaboration between federal and local agencies was suspended under former Attorney General Eric Holder, but the new regime is jump-starting the program. Yes, Sessions promised that "the federal government will not adopt seized property unless the state or local agency involved provides information demonstrating that the seizure was justified by probable cause." But that's cold comfort if the probable cause comes from eager cops planting bags of drugs hither and yon. The evidence—not planted—suggests that police officers don't need more incentive to falsify reasons for slapping on the cuffs. Day-to-day pressures to meet arrest quotas, out-do colleagues, or spackle over errors in judgment seem to have already done the job in spades. - J.D. Tuccille, July 24, 2017

'If I was able to spoon feed an audience for 10 hours facts that I could pick and choose, edit or even create from other clips I could get an audience to believe whatever I wanted them to believe." - Ken Kratz, Daily Mail, February 13, 2017
