Why would elements within the Alpharetta police be willing to commit so many violations to intentionally provoke Amy Bramuchi into committing suicide or some other crime? Less than a year earlier, Ms Bramuchi caused Alpharetta police Lt. Dan Dreslinski to resign instead of being fired for his actions with her while on duty. Ms. Bramuchi turned him in for sexual activity after realizing he was on duty and she was misled that he had separated from his wife. Lt Dreslinksi served in the K9 unit with Lt. Lindgren, who was in charge of the attack on Amy Bramuchi.
Amy Bramuchi's life on earth has been destroyed. Her gruesome, permanently debilitating injuries make it impossible to continue her professional yoga instruction, personal training and massage therapy businesses. She has depleted all of her savings and is on the verge of losing her townhome that has her indoor and outdoor yoga studios.
THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GAG ORDER:
On Friday June 26 2015, Fulton County attempted to revoke Amy Bramuchi's bond in a somewhat bizarre "emergency" hearing. Judge Alford J. Dempsey Jr. approved four Rule 22 video recording request forms that his judicial assistant had sent to both security checkpoints on Thursday. On Friday, the forms were missing and camera entry was denied. After the Public Information Officer (PIO) resolved that problem, deputies denied camera entry again at the courtroom. Finally, the judicial assistant ordered the deputies to let the cameras in but by that time two camera operators from two local news stations including 11Alive had departed.
Six Alpharetta police officers testified at the hearing (Ofc. Unger, Valone, Robinson, Wessel, Lt. Little, Capt. West). They stated they had been "harassed" by some of Amy Bramuchi's comments or emails since her April indictment. Their two hour testimony at taxpayer expense included some hearsay and child-like accusations. All officers admitted that Amy Bramuchi had never threatened them with any type of bodily harm. However, the testimony was adequate to show that Ms. Bramuchi may have been enough of a nuisance to justify a bond condition ordering her not to communicate with police again except in case of an emergency.
To support harassment claims Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Lauren McAuley tried to introduce an audio recording received by police from an unidentified individual who was not Amy Bramuchi. That was finally disallowed as irrelevant. McCauley also falsely contended that Bramuchi's bond had special conditions but was unable to produce a copy of the bond she claimed to have negotiated. Judge Dempsey produced the standard bond and repeatedly explained that it had no special conditions. The warrant that had two separate file dates was falsified with special conditions that did not exist on the actual bond.
In addition, McAuley falsely implied that Amy Bramuchi had posted an entire GBI report on social media with personal officer information. Judge Dempsey determined that no such personal information from the improperly redacted report was posted. McAuley published and distributed postings from the copyrighted website, Georgia CopBlock. None of Amy Bramuchi's postings were found to be threatening to any officer.
Amy's public defender, Monique Keane, referenced the above false allegations in her closing argument and told the judge that "if your honor would be inclined to modify the [bond] terms"Ms. Bramuchi would have no problem with the court's direction." Judge Dempsey then responded by imposing social media gag order conditions on Amy Bramuchi against her will. Those conditions state that she cannot disseminate or publish any information regarding the case on any social media in conflict with 1st Amendment protections. The gag order limits her ability to obtain legal counsel and further stacks the deck against her chances to obtain justice.
JAILED WITHOUT BOND:
Despite an unconstitutional gag order, Amy Bramuchi remained free on bond until a 911 call was made on July 10 by her new roommate John Gordon Wyland. Mr. Wyland admitted to several individuals that he attempted to pick the lock of Ms. Bramuchi's bedroom out of concern that she may be suicidal. Although his concern may have been sincere, he stated on the 911 call afterwards that she now wanted to evict him. He contended on the call that she had pointed a gun at his head several times including once during the call. But there are numerous discrepancies with the statements he made during that call:
