So we come back to the Judge for this trial, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold, who showed up an hour and ten minutes late for the morning hearing. This hearing was not on the docket. It appears to have been slid in the day before an election, as though the voting public had been told to go hell. Saffold’s ruling Monday allows Maiden and Dreamer to continue to avoid the original sentence of 18 months, and remain out of prison. They instead will be in a “Six Month Diversion Program”. If their behavior while on probation in this program is good, that will be considered when they return for sentencing on May 27, 2008.

How does this work, well they were not car thieves, jaywalkers, identity thieves, stealing aluminum gutters for recycle metal, nor kidnappers, but they rigged a recount for the office of the President of the United States of America… as we are so often told… the most powerful country in the world. Lets put it in perspective… they rigged a recount for the office of the President of the United States of America. The people should in the streets and be furious, the Ohio Attorney General and Ohio Secretary of State should be there grasping for the last shreds of life in the death of democracy that has occurred… just four days after the three year anniversary of the theft of that same US Presidential election.

What is the chance Maiden and Dreamer will have the opportunity to be on the inside, to handle and rig another election recount during this probation? Pretty darn slim in my view. So they will likely be reported to have good behavior. Will there be any accountability at this time, when we as a nation need serious legal justice to end the current policy of “may the best cheater win”. We need honest and transparent elections. We need the people to rise up and demand that the elections are real, and not just lousy theater. It should be an intelligence insult to anyone smart enough to actually hear there is an election problem… and we need to be concerned enough to research it. We need the media to report and let us know both what is happening, and in a just society… what should be done.

Again, who are these people?
From a September 2, 1996 article about Judge Saffold:
"Men are easy," Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold told the defendant Katie Nemeth. "You can go sit in the bus stop, put on a short skirt, cross your legs and pick up 25. Ten of them will give you their money."
The judge continued, "If you don't pick up the first 10, then all you got to do is open your legs a little bit and cross them at the bottom, and then they'll stop."

To add to the injury for the Death of Democracy as a result of the 2004 election fiasco, the will of the voter not being honored, and the tax payers dollar wasted on partisan voting machines and paying the salaries of people with documented election crimes. Now Defense Attorney Synenberg now wants the Cuyahoga County BOE to pay his substantial legal fee for defending the two convicted women. “The board said it would pay if there was no finding of guilt,” he said. “Well, there is no finding of guilt” http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2007/11/elections_board_workers_to_tak.html

Heaven help us! Can our new Secretary of State, and our new Attorney General do anything about this? Will they?
