		<description>UPDATE:
Got the FBI stuff yesterday 2-23-2010. I just got a chance to read it all today. (What there was of it.)

This is worse than I thought, it was a &quot;joint investigation&quot; by the FBI &amp; the BCI.

So basically I got the same BS cop reports, that I got from the state, only these had even more stuff blocked out than the stuff I got from the state!

So basically the sheriff supplied ALL the the evidence.
Then the BCI took all the police reports, rubber stamped them as fact, even though the evidence didn&#039;t support them.

And then the FBI copied everything the BCI got from the sheriff, overlooked all the conflicting reports, testimony, &amp; videos (&amp; lies from the sheriff), and rubber stamped their reports as fact also.

NO WHERE in ALL of this &quot;evidence&quot; was there ANY effort to look at anything OTHER THAN THE POLICE REPORTS.
No other witness interviews other than cops, no rebuttal from Steffey herself or her witnesses....NOTHING!

I plan on contacting the FBI more about information, but since there was no effort to actually investigate this case, I know already that the information I am going to ask for isn&#039;t going to be there.

I will also go over ALL the discrepancies from what was claimed to what the evidence shows.

But AGAIN there is no effort from &quot;investigators&quot; to find out the truth of what was really going on that night. (They don&#039;t even bother to explain any of the discrepancies in the evidence they DID gather!)

This is really unbelievable....Grrrrr</description>

		<description>What a JOKE!! Just as I predicted NONE of these cases EVER went to a trial. Because there was NO WAY for these cops to defend what they did.

This &#039;lawsuit&#039; was nothing more than a ploy to get the station to stop putting out more of the story, before people found out what REALLY happened. Otherwise they would have been suing the national stations that also ran the same story, and they looked just as bad in them as the local story. That&#039;s what these criminals don&#039;t get it wasn&#039;t the story that make them look bad, but THEIR OWN ACTIONS!

They are just lucky WKYC didn&#039;t print ALL their evidence.
They didn&#039;t play all the 911 call where the caller tells the police that Steffey&#039;s attacker was also arrested the month before on another assault charge.
Nor did they report Deputy Richard T. Gurlea Jr testified that because she was unable to help with the investigation, it was never finished, despite the fact that she went back to the station 4 days later.
So the assault investigation was never finished....REALLY?
Then how does he explain the incident report where the cops try to charge the VICTIM with the assault that she had reported?
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/Zemo999/Incident-Report-Assault.jpg


The papers reported Sheriff Swanson claims Steffey was given a chance to remove her cloths, but refused, but the BCI/Grand Jury investigation makes it VERY clear this is not so.
This is part of page 3 of that report:
http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/Zemo999/?action=view&amp;current=BCI-Report.jpg

Sheriff Swanson has always tried to sell this story as an extremely drunk woman that was verbally &amp; physically abusive.
But there are a few problems with that, for one witnesses at the scene said she was not that drunk, if at all. Plus Steffey testified at trial that the cops falsified reports that said she admitted to being drunk. She never denied drinking, only that she wasnt drunk as the investigating cops claimed.
Sure people are going to think her &amp; her relation are just lying for her, except for one small problem with that theory.
Yeah the cops that assaulted &amp; stripped her at 9:30pm claimed she was very drunk, one even claimed she was the drunkest person they had seen, but then the NEXT SHIFT comes in and they testified to the BCI investigators that they detected NO smell or effects of alcohol on Steffey at all!! I assume the next shift is 1 hours after they had stripped Steffey, and they report NO smell or effects?!?! They also report that she denied THREE times being suicidal.

As for the verbal &amp; physical abuse, the verbal I can believe, but the physical? All the videos show Steffey cuffed and surrounded by at LEAST two people at all times at the jail. And they are posted on YouTube for EVERYONE to see, heres a link to the first in a series that show she was never physically abusive. Even though that was the excuse the authorities used as an excuse as to why EIGHT people could not even ask Steffey to remove her own clothes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEhyDgQojKs

As I stated this is just the first in the series, you can also see a video of the outside of Steffeys cell. No news source ever reported that after they videoed Steffeys cell door being locked they IMMEDIATELY opened it back up and re-entered her cell, while several people remained outside smiling in the video.
You can also see one man that constantly stands outside her cell while she is being stripped looking inside, even though he does not seem to be involved. And even afterwards he is STILL at her door. So what does this guy do? And WHY do the cops let him stay and be a spectator?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgmyQvB3XSQ

I have also talked to the head BCI investigator, Paul Scarsella 614-644-0729. I asked him a few questions about the investigation.
I found out NO other women were questioned to establish a pattern of abuse at the jail.
The camera that failed to record the whole video at the jail was NEVER inspected, or investigated to see if it had EVER failed before, or after this incident.
NO ONE was polygraphed to verify the TRUTH of what really happened.

I have been filing freedom of information requests for over a year, and I STILL can not get answers for everything I have asked. (Its like they have something to hide.)

But I do have more, but Ill leave off with this story, I had called the Stark County Prosecutors office to ask for information, I asked for a copy of information that the BCI had given them.

The woman says they have NO information and that I would have to contact the state.

I said, you ASK the state to investigate, and they send you NO information or report on what they found??

She repeated No, you have to contact them.

Then I told her I had ALREADY contacted the head of the investigation, Paul Scarsella 614-644-0729, and that I had ALREADY seen a copy of the report that they sent them!

Gonna leave off for now, but folks I could write a book</description>

		<title>Comment on ChannelAdvisor Sues Former Australian Employee for Defamation (AuctionBytes) by Kerri</title>

		<description>Firstly the comments of Guy Stevens are incorrect and inaccurate.  The employee was a victim of extortion and blackmail and person (s) associated with this action have been charged by the police and currently awaiting trial in the Victorian County Court.   Guy Stevens has been warned by the police of the matter and warned of posts such as this attempting to intimidate a witness in a criminal matter.

Further please see below the press release -  it should be noted that Kerri Van Veenendaal vigorously denies all accusations and has issued the statement below.

Australian ex-employee defends ChannelAdvisor legal action in Atlanta
 
The ex-employee being sued* in Atlanta by ChannelAdvisor has lodged a defense, denying all allegations in the civil action.  Kerri Van Veenendaal who is being sued by the North Carolina based company has issued the defense in reply to the litigation issued by her ex-employer.
 
Ms. Van Veenendaal has stated to us “I feel that this action is a smoke screen for the real issues that ChannelAdvisor are facing”.  Van Veenendaal further states, “It is a pity that ChannelAdvisor has spent time and money on a frivolous action which is incorrectly aimed at me when they would be better concentrating more on their own product development and customer service. ChannelAdvisor does not have a claim against me”. At the time of the alleged emails Van Veenendaal was with her husband of 30 years whilst he was in recovery from major life threatening open heart surgery.
 
Ms. Van Veenendaal was instrumental in launching ChannelAdvisor in Australia, exceeding all expectations whilst the company was under her management in that country.  “Indeed the growth in the country and region was phenomenal” states Van Veenendaal.  “We exceeded our budget every quarter for four quarters and the first year of operation we were above on all expected budget requirements which was totally unexpected by Head Office in North Carolina”.   “The Australian business sector here was enthusiastic and embraced the belief that ChannelAdvisor was committed to putting a team on the ground in Australia and to have real time customer support in this country”.   
 
ChannelAdvisor Australia Pty. Ltd., has been downsized since the unexpected termination of Ms. Van Veenendaal in June 2008.  There are now two employees out of the 12 that were in the office at June 2008 remaining.   Whilst this legal action is certainly interesting Van Veenendaal states that all property owned by the company were handed to her legal counsel shortly after she was terminated by a surprise email from the CEO, Scot Wingo and the then Vice President International, Jennifer Gibson.   “I had no idea that I was going to be terminated in such a manner after surpassing all budget expectations and also securing the company a lucrative contract in Australia. The termination email, stated  that ChannelAdvisor would pay all my contractual entitlements and termination salary but 18 months later I am still waiting to receive a reasonable payment. This recent action in the USA appears to be an attempt to add to my costs and plicate the legal action in Australia for my employment entitlements which has been ongoing since July 2008.” 
 
In the Atlanta proceedings, it will be interesting to observe if ChannelAdvisor can actually establish and prove that it suffered losses by any purported breach of copyright from the sending of the email.  Further ChannelAdvisor will also have to establish and prove that the statements in the email are in fact not true.
 
Van Veenendaal clearly states that she has not issued any public statements, press releases to customers since her termination in respect to ChannelAdvisor. She has been attempting to negotiate with ChannelAdvisor for her termination salary however to date she has been presented with many obstacles.
 
With all this Van Veenendaal remains positive on the future of ChannelAdvisor and their products “you can&#039;t head up a company without believing in the product.”
 
Van Veenendaal hopes that the false accusations will be seen as such and by defending the action in Atlanta certainly anticipates that her innocence will prevail.</description>

		<description>Great, now you can run someone&#039;s name through the mud for no reason whatsoever, and they can&#039;t sue you.  This is a horrible day for democracy as now you must play within the rules of society (which are established by 9 people) or you will be played as a fool in the media and you can&#039;t do a darn thing about it.  This change doesn&#039;t really matter to the average person today until it is them who is targeted by the media as the devil, yet has really done nothing &quot;wrong&quot;.  This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with the powers that be holding onto power and censoring (via public shaming) of anyone who doesn’t agree with their opinion!!!

Canada it is time for a revolution.</description>

This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with the powers that be holding onto power and censoring (via public shaming) of anyone who doesn’t agree with their opinion!!!</p>
<p>Canada it is time for a revolution.</p>

		<description>The former employee involved is a known problem here in Australia. She ran a business called Parents2Go which was the subject of Consumer Affairs litigation over its business practices and she has left many suppliers of that business shortchanged over failure to pay for goods supplied to her (which she sold and reaped the benefits from).

I am personally hopeful that there are some kind of criminal charges which can be brought against her.</description>

		<description>Everything I have posted at Bruceongames is either facts or fair comment.
But this doesn&#039;t suit Evony, so they are sueing me in Australia in an attempt to censor free speech.
Why Australia, when they are Chinese with a USA front and I am in the UK? Obviously to make it as difficult as possible (almost impossible) for me to defend the truth.</description>

		<description>Kosten für Star-Strafverteidiger sind bezahlbar

Hallo,

man hört, dass Staranwälte wie Rolf Bossi, Eberhard Kempf, Wolf Schiller,Anke Müller-Jacobsen oder Dr. Ulrich Endres unbezahlbar seien.

Scheint ein Märchen zu sein. Mein Freund hat bei sich bei Dr. Endres vorgestellt und zahlt ganz normal
3.500 Euro plus 500,- / Verhandlungstag. Also alles im Rahmen. Bei Staranwalt Kempf ist es nur ein wenig teurer.
Die Staranwälte sollen den Vorteil haben, die Richter und Staatsanwälte öfter persönlich zu kennen. 

Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrung bei Strafverteidigern mit großen Namen?

		<description>The world is crashing in around the Jews for what they have done to world banking, the U.S. media and government, and the innocent Palestinians they have murdered.  It is about time.

Sure, they will beef up steps to pass S. 909, HR 262, 256 and 1913 aka &#039;Hate Crime Bills&#039; to STOP American citizens from talking about what the Jews are doing, but it is too late.  The world knows and now the U.S. citizen knows.</description>

		<description>If ever this piece of ideological totalitarianism becomes &quot;world law&quot;, it will be a law eminently deserving of contempt, resistance and violation on a mass scale. No piece of religious imperialism like this is going to either override my rights of free speech as an American (more to the point, as a human being) or intimidate me into submitting to mind control. Let&#039;s be real: this is it - the big play, the push for an Orwellian world run by the thought police. 
If there are any poor chumps out there still so naive as to think this is nothing more than an attempt to stop &quot;nasty&quot; people from saying &quot;hateful&quot; things about another person&#039;s religion - wake up already. First of all, even if that were all it was, it&#039;s STILL an assault on human freedoms. But that&#039;s not nearly all it is. Keep in mind that, from the Islamic point of view, even to say that the Koran is not the word of God, that Mohammed made it all up, that where the Koran presents an altered version of accounts from the Old and New Testaments (like, for instance, Judas dying on the cross in Jesus&#039; place), the Koran tells blantant, culturally and ideologically motivated fabrications - all this is &quot;hate speech&quot;, deserving of death. And if you don&#039;t think the Moslem societies will capitalize in every way possible on a law like that being suggested here in order to control and shape world thinking and impose their beliefs, well, I&#039;ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
In one way, this proposed law is incredibly dangerous, but in another way it&#039;s meaningless. Dangerous because of the threat to our freedoms, and yet... meaningless because, ultimately, such a moronic law cannot trump human freedoms. The truth ultimately prevails.</description>
