I wanted to let people know about scum that is in the court system in Franklin, WV, which is in Pendleton County. I am specifically talking about the Kangaroo Court of Magistrate LeLand Propst, and his no count prosecutor—Jerry Moore. (Magistrate Propst phone is 304-358-2343 and fax is 304-358-3870. Prosecutor Moore's phone is 304-358-2208 and fax is 304-358-3227.
I am a trucker from Va. I grew up in WV. I have a spotless driving record and have driven approx. 2 and a half million safe miles in 20 years. I have many awards for safety.
I went camping in WV over the July 4th. Weekend. On my way home, 4 racing motorcycles passed me like I was sitting still. The trooper SAW them, and acknowledged to myself, and a lawyer, that they were there. But, since there was no possible way he would ever catch them, he gave me their ticket. (Of course, he didn't say that, but he knew he'd get his ass kicked messing with 4 bikers out in the middle of nowhere).
Anyway, I came back to Franklin, WV yesterday for the court date. I thought my trial would be in the fancy court room upstairs. I was directed downstairs to the small office of the kangaroo court. A few chairs and a small table.
Magistrate LeLand Propst had me sign a couple papers and told me how much I would have to pay if convicted. I knew right then I was going to lose. The verdict was guilty before the trial started. THE FINE WAS ALREADY FIGURED UP!
The officer showed up 30 minutes late. Prosecutor Jerry Moore and the trooper went around the corner to talk when the trooper showed up.
I came to court well prepared for a "NORMAL" and "HONEST" court.instead I had to be tried in front of crooks.
Prosecutor Jerry Moore came to "court" with nothing but an ink pen, which he played with and sucked on.
The trooper came to "court" with nothing but a photo copy of my citation and a pack of lies.
(Remember, their "court" was LeLand's office).
The trial started with the prosecutor examining the officer.
They were well rehearsed and sounded like robots.
It was my turn to examine the officer.
I asked numerous questions about the calibration of his radar unit, tuning fork, and certified documents that his equipment HAD been checked—EVER! He was nervous and kept looking at the prosecutor. The trooper said he did not know if any of the equipment had EVER been checked. He ASSUMED they were. He got mad and said he's not required to know all this or have it. He said, "I only operate it".
The prosecutor kept rudely agreeing.
The prosecutor at one point told me he would hold me in contempt if I didn't move on to someting else! Contempt??? By a prosecutor??? Isn't that for a judge to say??? CROOKS running a kangaroo court. The outcome was planned, no matter what. Now the prosecutor was running the show and the magistrate became a stunned pansy!
I asked several more questions that day—most of them just requesting proof that the officer's equipment that day was working properly. I even brought some case law with me.
They had nothing whatsoever!
I declined to take the "stand" (my own chair). I refused to testify against myself.
They were MAD that someone had come into their court and made them look like fools!
The prosecutor said, "You think you are a hotshot know-it-all".
I was only defending myself with legimate questions and requests.
An HONEST court would have dismissed the charge due to a MAJOR lack of evidence on the prosecution's part. They had NONE!
I motioned for a dismissal of the charge SEVERAL times, and was denied every time by Propst&who kept looking to MOORE for an answer!
This was a staged trial. For MONEY! And power trips. It is a dishonest system in Mr. Propst's "court". Although the trooper knew nothing about calibration of his equipment, nor could prove it was EVER done, I was convicted.
I was convicted on SPECULATION by the prosecution.
It is not fair to me or my family. They depend on me. I depend on my license. I EARNED the spotless record. These sore losing scum put a major blemish on it. For MONEY! And for POWER! They will not LOSE a case to a "Hot Shot Know-It-All" (The prosecutor called me this)
I was convicted because the kangaroo's KNEW I would appeal.
This gives them time to get all the papers that I requested, before the next trial date. They will lie and come back with ANYTHING, just so it looks good.
This conviction was nothing but a DELAY TACTIC for the crooks.
They knew I had honestly WON the case and they LOST!
I hope the circuit court judge will one day know that LeLand Propst and Jerry Moore are crooked and are running an unfair and unjust court. They think they are above the law and they do as they please. They make up their own rules.
I have heard that the Circuit Court judge is a fair, HONEST man. I don't know yet. I'll update this later to let people know.
I will still probably lose, but I want people to know what goes on in Franklin, WV.
Vote Propst and Moore OUT! They are crooked!
They are sore sports and convict innocent people.
They convict even when the defendant comes well prepared, and they have NO evidence whatsoever!
They are money hungry and on a power trip.
Sort of like Saddam and Hitler.
They are a disgrace to America and to West Virginia.
And most of all, they are a disgrace to the US Justice System and the WV Bar.
Go AROUND Pendleton County, WV.
And stay away from the town of Franklin, WV.
This could happen to you!
If it already has, PLEASE contact me thru the rebuttal form.
I have only gotten started.
It is not just a speeding ticket that makes me mad. It is the dishonesty and unfairness. Now, they pull a delay tactic. They will probably come up with false documents to present in court on my appeal.
This case should have been dismissed, and WOULD have been by an honest magistrate, or judge!
I'll update this very soon.
