Excellent commentary, and a fun read in this week's North Coast Journal's Town Dandy. Hank commends both the Eureka Reporter and the Times Standard for their coverage of Gallegos, the Bowmans and the $10,000 Bear River donation.
Hank's breaking news is even more interesting: Ken Miller has a "third career" as an ambulance chaser. Looks like Ken Miller is up to more dirty tricks. His hatred of law enforcement is already well documented on this blog, and he's been telegraphing his intent to make a big deal out of the Cheri Moore tragedy - and now what? More litigation? More costs to the County? Wonder if Ken is going to write the lawsuit on this one, too? That'll be a fun read.

Untold Stories
the AEB's agenda
The Good Dr. Ken. What's he been up to lately? Haven't heard from him since the Coroners Inquest fiasco? The Coroners inquest didn't go as he wanted, gee that's too bad. All that for nothing, except added expense to the county. I think he was made to look like a fool, in the blogs if not in the paper.
ReplyDeleteDr. Ken can't file a lawsuit on his own? Is he trying influence Moore's family members?
I see from the paper that Dr. Ken is giving some of his $$$$ to his favorite politician.
I always like to hear what the good Dr. is up to.
I just read the NCJ article about Miller working with an SF lawyer on a wrongful death lawsuit. Wow ! Why is this guy so rabid towards the police?
ReplyDeleteDear 5:57pm, Good point! Is it the police or simply Authority that he has a problem with? Roy
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone should ask him.
ReplyDeleteHey Ken, why do you have such a strong dislike for the police? Is it all police or just EPD? Or is it authority?
no response?!
ReplyDeletehow tall is ken miller?
ReplyDeleteI see that Joan Gallegos donated $500 to Mendocino County DA Vroman! Could it be that she and Paul are trying to do their part to keep Tim Stoen employed (outside Humboldt County)?
ReplyDeleteSmart money says Tim Stoen is out of a job no matter who wins in Mendocino Counties DA race. Does that mean we have to tak him back? Who else would hire the Kook Aid King?
It's a pretty simple plan, the "Good Doctor" wants a weak police department so he can keep writing his prop 215 cards, and the police won't have to time to look into his prop 215 card business that he has going. After all, what's $2000 to him? That only ten prop 215 cards and he can do that in less then an hour.
ReplyDeleteIf Ken Miller was handing out scripts for any other drug other then pot, it would be a major story. The question is, if he does, get kick-backs from the pot grows that people get.
Maybe that's it. The EPD doesn't go by the obscene 215 guidelines that Arcata, the Sheriffs office, and Trinidad go by. And the good Dr. was on the "215 task force" if my memory serves me. Maybe the Moore shooting is the Dr.'s chance to get back at the EPD ?
ReplyDeleteThe 215 marijuana task force that came up with the three pounds of pot and 99 plants was approved by Bonnie, Radoni, and crew. There was only one cop on the task force, the Trinidad chief of police (not much experience) ? I heard that there was at least one known marijuana grower on it too, although that is just 2nd or 3rd hand rumor (but I believe it).
Is that what a 215 recommendation costs ? $200 ? I was told two weeks ago about someone was complaining about a co-worker bragging that they had a 215 grow and was going to make $100,000 that cycle!
That's the kind of progress we have in Humbolddt County. And all that it attracts.
I don't think they could make $100k per "cycle" but you could make 20k every cycle and how many cycles per year you could do depends.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've done the math myself. And sometimes I start to ache and have pains...
This is "modern math, 215 marijuana growers math. You have your "99" plants, your girlfriends "99" plants, your friend Toby's "99" plants, and some guy named Will's "99" plants. Of course each person has a doctor issed 215 card even though it may be hard to find Toby or Will or even the girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteAn the likelyhood that anyone of them has cancer, glouacoma, or AIDS is next to nothing. Their "sickness" is something like ;insomnia, upset stomach, headaches, arthiritis, stress, allergic to a real job, bad breath, and so on.
Heraldo - oh I mean Ken Miller is just an ambulance chaser who obviously was such a bad doc that he has been relegated to selling bogus 215 cards out of his garage...what do you expect from bottom dwellers like this. And he is also the guy that penned the PL suit for little Timmy and Paulie. Shit - no wonder it got tossed out by the court and after over a year Paulie still can't figure out what to put in his opening brief. Crikey - could it be he doesn't have any law to cite to the court of appeal and can't incite a riot among them by screaming PL?
ReplyDeleteHe'd better hurry. Isn't 6 months up yet?
ReplyDeleteBut I'd heard it was Cunningham (who represented Bari/Cherney) who was taking the case.
Guess I have to get over to the NCJ and read the article.
Wow !! I just got finished reading Jeff Swartz's Blog ! And I thought he was just a lazy POS left wing defense attorney masquarding as a prosecutor! He is waaaaaaay out there. If he believes 10% of the crap he put out he needs to adjust his medication! There's not enough 215 medicine in Humbloldt to fix him. This must be a joke, or a part of a master plan ......like use yougofree to vector votes toward someone else or something. He cannot be serious, this is just too bizarrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeletecheck it out! "Gas has got to go" !! But yougofree drives to and from arcata. This is incredible! I can't believe that this chump would make such a fool of himself. Oh well, another great hire by Mr. Gags!
Cunningham = another of Ken Miller's experts
ReplyDeleteDennis Cunningham? He's an attorney.
ReplyDeleteWell, from what he said in the NCJ - more of an ambulance chaser.
ReplyDeleteHe, along with Tony Serra, obtained the largest civil rights violations award against the FBI in history. Nothing to shake a stick at.
ReplyDeleteYes Eric that was truly amazing. One of the many reasons I skeptical about the current jury system. And save the tit for tat comments. Juries can be swayed, conned, or corrupted. Remember OJ Simpson was found not guilty by a jury ! Doesn' mean or prove he didn't do the murders it just means he was found not guilty by a jury.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Tony Serra defend Kenny Owens ? He got 41 years in fed prison. Good work Tony. Is this Cunningham a publicity seeking lawyer like Serra? Thinks, or whants others to think, he's a True Beleiver ?
Well, it didn't help that the attorneys for the FBI and the attorneys for the City of Oakland panicked half way through the trial and started fingering each other. There was no basis to arrest Judi Bari or Darrell Cherney, and the evidence was pretty clear that the forensics folk who claimed that the bomb was on the back floor rather than under the seat had lied. I don't think even a jury from Alabama would have found for the defense. There was no basis for the arrest, and a would-be killer got away. The jury was pissed.
ReplyDeleteComing in here after EPD is not the equivalent, moral or otherwise, to the Judi Bari case, Eric.
ReplyDeleteThe Judi Bari case was bogus. Are really so far out there that you think the FBI and the OPD would conspire to blow up a couple of stinky hippies from SoHum ?? Another example ...... just because they won the trial doesn't mean it really happened. Just because OJ was not convicted didn't mean he didn't do it. And there are lots of other less famous examples.
ReplyDeleteAnd Eric, were you at the Bari trial ?
And this Cunningham is nothing short of an "ambulance chaser".
