Wisconsin Black Lives Matter Routs Democrat State Senator

State Sen. Tim Carpenter faked a collapse in front of WKOW-TV
at the Capitol, and then began his campaign demonizing Black
Lives Matter. This fake collapse was preceded by Carpenter's hollered
conversation as the Democrat spoke with several protest medics and
peacekeepers in an eight-minute conversation captured on audio,
Pittman/WORT News. Audio shows Carpenter declining medical
attention before his fake collapse.

Madison, Wisconsin — Not one Wisconsin elected Democrat stood up for Black Lives Matter and two innocent women pursued by an unhinged Democrat, State Sen. Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee).

Via Medium.

Black Lives Matter don’t really matter, not here.

And BLM liberation protesters enjoy no presumption of innocence when protesting police violence, not while the Democratic Party has power.

In massive demonstrations during the 2020 Summer supporting George Floyd and demanding police end their war against the community, human rights workers irked one State Sen. Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) — a drug warrior and self-proclaimed “reactionary” Democrat.

Forget Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Kenosha, Madison police have it in for black folks, and Wisconsin Democrats back the police, diligently defend wrongful convictions, harassment, police and prosecutor misconduct, amid a permanent low-intensity war against the darkly complected.

It’s SOP in Wisconsin.

Tim Carpenter is the perfect Democrat, a narcissistic corporatist so self-involved and malicious he would embarrass Joe Biden.

Carpenter is renown in some circles for single-handedly blocking doctor-prescribed marijuana in 2009, the better the State has weapons to imprison black and brown people in the drug war.

So, it was no surprise that Carpenter drove to Madison in late June 2020 and started a melee against a couple of hundred protesters rallying next to the Capitol near Midnight during the height of the George Floyd protests.

Carpenter, (later claiming he was making a late-night Capitol visit on official business), grabbed his phone and started recording the BLM group, a provocative action to which the group took offense.

Protesters explained to Carpenter that rightwing doxxers were recording BLM rallies, increasing fear that night that someone was going to get hurt on a night during which the marchers had to contend with gun shots and cars trying to run the group down.

The melee ensued, after which Carpenter unconvincingly played the victim.

But the group was easy prey for Carpenter and his political campaign, backed by the police, the district attorney and corporate media.

After lecturing the crowd that he was an ally of Black Lives Matter, a laughable proposition, a traumatized Carpenter performed a collapse on the Capitol grounds in front of a WKOW-TV (Madison) crew.

Carpenter did not fall uncontrollably to the pavement; he gently set himself down to a sitting position and laid down on the soft manicured brush. The media dutifully reported he collapsed. It was a charade.

Before and after his performance, Carpenter refused medical treatment.

Carpenter then enlisted the Democrat Dane County District Attorney to press charges against someone, anyone, at the Capitol that night.

The DA picked two local socially conscious women with no criminal records, Black Lives Matter protesters Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer, whom even Carpenter and the police could not identify as so much as laying a finger on the precious state senator.

The two women were each charged with multiple felonies and a misdemeanor — felony crime of Substantial Battery with Intent to Cause Bodily Harm, felony Party to a Crime, and misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct.

Both women faced years in prison in a Court presided over by a Gov. Scott Walker appointee, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Josann M. Reynolds, (R) appointed to the bench in 2015.

Charge stacking like what was endured in these cases serves two purposes. One, to coerce innocent protesters into pleading no contest to charges of which they are innocent; and two, to deter protesting of unlawful police behavior in the streets.

The Democrat-led Dane County District Attorney’s office changed its charging standard for this one case to accommodate Carpenter and the paucity of evidence against the defendants. The conventional evidentiary standard for the Dane County DA is case can be proven to a reasonable doubt, changed to: Reasonable inference. [(See, for example, WISC-TV 2018; Madison . com).

At a probable cause hearing in August 2020, Asst DA William Brown, known for over-the-top prosecutions and Manichean court posturing, admitted, “We don’t know exactly what happens [at the rally] … other than we have a witness that says various people began kicking and punching. There is a reasonable inference that those two people who are aggressively running at him are the ones involved in the exact same incident,” (Rickert, Wisconsin State Journal).

Judge Reynolds is corrupt against defendants’ rights, a status that draws few objections in Dane County.

At the prosecution’s behest, in early Sept 2021, Reynolds issued a radical ruling that compelled the appearance of three, then two area journalists covering the protests though none of these three could identity the defendants as touching Carpenter.

The rationale behind the forced Court appearance of journalists was to establish there was a large rally and ralliers were passionate.

Armed with the testimony that the rally was passionate, the prosecution argued in court that Ms. O’Reilly was passionate and near Carpenter, so it was reasonable to infer she assaulted Tim Carpenter.

Thus, we see the Wisconsin judiciary join the bad faith, logical fallacy and ill will on the part of the police and prosecutors who face little recrimination in this political culture wired to give these same police and prosecutors free reign.

After the two women were arrested, Carpenter went on a public relations spree to demonize Black Lives Matter; sponsored a bill to criminalize damaging statutes out of Carpenter’s spite; and accosted and harassed a black candidate for the State Senate, before being forced to apologize after the intercession of the state Democratic Party Chair and the Senate Minority Leader criticizing Carpenter, (The Capital Times, WTMJ — July, Fox News — June 30, Spectrum News One — Aug).

Carpenter was unhinged and petulant.

That the two women were not implicated by any direct evidence was of no apparent concern to Carpenter, the police, and the media who toed the police line all the way.

Bowing to the ridiculous lack of evidence, the DA in April 2021, offered a deal that featured no jail time and a deferred prosecution, that would have wiped the protesters’ record clean, WKOW-TV, (Galli).

No deal, we’re innocent, replied O’Reilly and Hamer.

O’Reilly declined another deal last month that would have dropped all three criminal charges in exchange for pleading no contest to the equivalent of a parking ticket. No deal, said O’Reilly.

BLM protester Samantha Hamer took the deal, fearing she was gambling her life on the whims of a jury.

On Oct. 19, after a two-day trial, the jury verdict was delivered to the remaining defendant: O’Reilly: Not guilty on all counts. The jury deliberated for just three hours.

This was an are-you-kidding verdict, but the resultant local coverage, with the exception of Tony Galli and Peter Culver at WKOW, barely mentioned the verdict.

Instead, overwhelmingly, the not-guilty local coverage is a rehash of the accusations, omitting entirely the fact noone saw the two women touch Tim Carpenter.

O’Reilly told WKOW that she will continue to support Black Lives Matter.

O’Reilly said she also felt relief that the truth came out. She was scared.

“I did not make physical contact with him, [Carpenter],” Kerida O’Reilly testified at trial, a statement even Tim Carpenter was forced to acknowledge in the face of aggressive questioning by defense attorney, Jessa Nicholson Goetz.

So, why this bogus prosecution? Because police and prosecutors want to.
That’s it.

Police face no recrimination for their arrest of the Black Lives Matter protesters. The DA faces no consequences, and Tim Carpenter, beyond burnishing his reputation as an asshole, faces no backlash from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Tim Carpenter is running for reelection in 2022. Progressive and pro-Black Lives Matter forces want a candidate to run against him in the Democratic Primary.

But Wisconsin also needs DAs and a criminal justice system that function as a check for deceitful politicians, and guard the rights of citizens against these same politicians and police who pose a threat to a peaceful community.

Not Guilty — State Senator's Racist Crusade Against Black Lives Matter Beaten Back

Carpenter Faces Tough Campaign for Reelection in 2022

Madison, Wisconsin — Wisconsin State Sen Tim Carpenter's (D-Milwaukee) crusade against Black Lives Matter suffered a big set-back today, Tuesday. Oct 19.

Not guilty on all counts, a Dane County jury said to a Black Lives Matter protester on trial against a racist state senator who calls himself "rash and reactionary" for his conduct against another Black Lives Matter supporter.

"I did not make physical contact with him," Kerida O'Reilly testified, a statement even Carpenter was forced to acknowledge in the face of aggressive questioning by defense attorney, Jessa Nicholson Goetz.

Ms. O'Reilly faced two felony charges and a misdemeanor for an unspecified act that noone says she committed at a June 23-24, 2020 Black Lives Matter protest. It bears repeating: The State was charging the woman for no acts they can identify her as committing.

The racist Tim Carpenter is running for reelection in 2022. Progressive and pro-Black Lives Matter candidates want a candidate to run in the Democratic Primary.

The reactionary Carpenter is renown in some circles for single-handedly blocking doctor-prescribed marijuana in 2009, the better the State has a weapon to imprison black and brown people in the drug war. Under heavy criticism, eight years later, Carpenter reversed his public stance, but the damage was done.

Though Carpenter admits to being rash and reactionary, progressives view the white Democrat as petulant, conniving, narcissistic and wedded to an outdated anti-drug era.

O'Reilly testified to Carpenter as an angry, aggressive presence at the Black Lives Matter rally, Galli/WKOW.

The Democrat-led Dane County District Attorney's office changed its charging standard for this one case to accommodate Carpenter and the paucity of evidence against the defendants.

In the instances of Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer, the District Attorney had dropped its charging standard in these cases from can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, (See, for example, WISC-TV 2018; Madison . com), to the much lower standard, (and newly employed as a charging standard):  Claimed reasonable inference.
 
At a probable cause hearing in August 2020, Asst DA William Brown, known for over-the-top prosecutions and Manichean court posturing, admitted, "We don’t know exactly what happens ...  other than we have a witness that says various people began kicking and punching. There is a reasonable inference that those two people who are aggressively running at him are the ones involved in the exact same incident," (Rickert, Wisconsin State Journal).

No deal, said the jury, which took just three hours to deliver its not guilty verdict.

Racist Wisconsin State Sen's Crusade Against Black Lives Matter Protester at Trial Oct 15

collapse was preceded by Carpenter's hollered
conversation as the Democrat spoke with several

eight-minute conversation captured on audio,
(Pittman/WORT News). Audio shows Carpenter
declining medical attention before faking his collapse.

Dane County Asst DA William Brown: 'We don’t know what happened.'

Madison, Wisconsin — You have to give credit to Wisconsin State Sen Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee). 

The reactionary state senator hates Black Lives Matter, and nothing will get in the way of his racist crusade.

So, all credit for his determination to destroy a young Black Lives Matter protester's life, Kerida E. O'Reilly: No criminal record, a socially conscious Madison woman who believes police should not kill black people.

Ms. O'Reilly faces two felony charges and a misdemeanor for an unspecified act that noone says she committed at a June 23-24, 2020 Black Lives Matter protest. It bears repeating: The State is charging the woman for no acts they can identify her as committing.

Welcome to the Democrat Party and the criminal justice system.

And Dane County District Attorney, Ismael Ozaane. Shame on you, you should know better.

The case is being heard by a reliable prosecutor's judge, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Josann M. Reynolds, appointed to the bench by Gov. Scott Walker (R) in 2015.

Carpenter traveled to Madison to a June 2020 Black Lives Matter protest for whom the drug warrior maintains an apparent hatred, and started a melee, where Carpenter took a beating that he highlighted over the next year, though he twice refused medical treatment that same night.

"I had no idea I had walked into a hornet's nest," claimed Carpenter to WTMJ, playing the victim in July 2020. "All of a sudden two women, white women, started coming towards me. I had three seconds to react." 

Carpenter insinuated two woman somehow hit him, but Carpenter admitted to police he cannot identity anyone as touching him.

Carpenter went on a rant after the June protests during which Carpenter performed a fall on the Capitol grounds in front of a WKOW-TV crew; went on a public relations spree in the Summer to demonize Black Lives Matter; sponsored a bill to criminalize damaging statutes out of Carpenter's petty spite; and accosted and harassed a black candidate for the State Senate.

Following the June protests, the racist Carpenter went apoplectic against a black woman running for State Senate, resulting in a multi-day rant that concluded with the intercession of the state Party Chair and the Senate Minority Leader criticizing Carpenter who eventually apologized, (The Capital Times). Carpenter said he was  "rash and reactionary" in his apology.

The reactionary Carpenter is renown in some circles for single-handedly blocking doctor-prescribed marijuana in 2009, the better the State has a weapon to imprison black and brown people in the drug war. Under heavy criticism, eight years later, Carpenter reversed his public stance, but the damage was done.
---
Today, not even cops state O'Reilly can be identified as doing anything that night, a fact that did not stop the district attorney from charge-stacking.

Madison police detective Linda Trevarthen who led the investigation of the melee acknowledged that there is no evidence the O'Reilly specifically touched Carpenter in any way, much less a felony battery contact, (Rickert, Wisconsin State Journal).

Not one witness claims Kerida O’Reilly can be identified as so much as laying a finger on the precious state senator. No video evidence implicates O'Reilly.

Carpenter ridiculed Black Lives Matter, and in July 2020 said he's also "being criticized on the left in a blog suggesting he's somehow a traitor stating that he 'was against the liberators of the Black Lives Movement,'" (WTMJ), in an apparent reference to Mal Contends.

 Carpenter wants to get Black Lives Matter. So does the Dane County District Attorney. So merely being present at a protest is enough for a criminal prosecution.

Bowing to the ridiculous lack of evidence, "The two people charged with the beating of a state senator have been offered a deal by prosecutors that would include no jail time and deferred prosecution," WKOW-TV (Galli, Madison) reported last April.

No deal, we're innocent, replied O’Reilly. O'Reilly declined another deal last month that would have dropped all three criminal charges in exchange for the equivalent of a parking ticket. No deal, said O'Reilly.

Corrupt DA Changes Charging Standard in These Cases

In the instances of Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer, the District Attorney had dropped its charging standard in these cases from can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, (See, for example, WISC-TV 2018; Madison . com), to the much lower standard, (and newly employed as a charging standard):  Claimed reasonable inference.
 
At a probable cause hearing in August 2020, Asst DA William Brown, known for over-the-top prosecutions and Manichean court posturing, admitted, "We don’t know exactly what happens ...  other than we have a witness that says various people began kicking and punching. There is a reasonable inference that those two people who are aggressively running at him are the ones involved in the exact same incident," (Rickert, Wisconsin State Journal).

We don’t know exactly what happened? That's reasonable doubt.

Why the change for these cases? Because this is a political prosecution.

Tune in here for coverage beginning Oct 15.

Folks can contact State Sen Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) to ask why he rejects decarceration, decriminalization, police defunding. As we work with our historic movement, Carpenter instead sponsors a bill expanding criminal code to protect statues and works to persecute two innocent Black Lives Matter workers.

Plea Change from Innocent to No Contest in Tim Carpenter Trial

State Sen. Tim Carpenter faked a collapse in front of WKOW-TV
at the Capitol, and then began his media campaign demonizing Black
Lives Matter. This fake collapse was preceded by Carpenter's hollered
conversation as the Democrat spoke with several protest medics
and peacekeepers in an eight-minute conversation captured on audio,
(Pittman/WORT News). Audio shows Carpenter declining medical
attention before faking his collapse.

Madison, Wisconsin — One of two Black Lives Matter workers accused — with no direct evidence — of having been in a fight with a racist state senator during protests over deadly police violence in 2020 pleaded no contest this week to a vastly reduced non-criminal citation charge.

The plea highlights a brutal part of the criminal justice system where prosecutors charge-stack felonies and force innocent defendants to either gamble with a trial and years in prison or cop a plea to a reduced charge with the promise of erasure from the defendant's record.

"Samantha Hamer, 27, of Madison, does not face any jail time or fines as a result of her plea to disorderly conduct, a county ordinance violation, but will have to pay court costs that are to be determined. The ordinance violation is akin to a ticket and is not a criminal conviction," reports the Wisconsin State Journal.

The plea marks a change from last April when Ms. Hamer refused a different plea offer, while affirmatively acclaiming her innocence.

The state senator involved in the melee is Tim Carpenter, a controversial and reactionary Milwaukee Democrat.

The case is being heard by a reliable prosecutor's judge, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Josann M. Reynolds, appointed to the bench by Gov. Scott Walker (R) in 2015.

Reynolds is corrupt against the rights of defendants, a status that draws few objections in Dane County.

Reynolds has already issued one radical ruling in this case that compels the appearance of three area journalists covering the Black Lives Matters protests though none of these three can identity the remaining defendant as even touching Carpenter.

Tim Carpenter

After the melee at the protest that Carpenter instigated, he is heard in a recorded conversation sounding agreeable.

Carpenter did not phone 911 for medical help, after he was asked by a medic.

Then, Carpenter walked to his car, spotted WKOW-TV crew members, walked towards the TV crew, and performed an unconvincing 'collapse' in an apparent bid for the TV station's attention.

Carpenter did not fall uncontrollably on the pavement. He gently set himself down to a sitting position, and then laid softly in the comparatively soft decorative brush on the ground next to the sidewalk and WKOW staff.

Carpenter then began a four-week media blitz dramatizing his victimhood.

• WTMJ - July 15 -Still Recovering
• Fox News - June 30 - Recovering
• Spectrum News One - Aug 12 - Opening up about Attack
  
  

While Carpenter tended to his I-hate-Black-Lives-Matter crusade, the veteran racist then signed on to a bill criminalizing defacing of statutes, making the protesters' point that this guy cares more about statutes than black lives.

Nothing from Carpenter about decarceration, decriminalization, police violence and police defunding.

But Carpenter was not finished.

Nada Elmikashfi 

Nada Elmikashfi is a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for State Senate District 26 in Dane County.

Elmikashfi criticized Carpenter's proposal to make criminal felons out of anyone defacing a statue, an initiative echoing Donald Trump's protect-the-statues crusade. 

Writes Elmikashfi on July 16, 2020 commenting on Carpenter's co-authorship of his Senate initiative seeking sponsors.

"Get me in the senate so I can block this absolute bullshit. You shouldn’t have been assaulted Senator Carpenter; but that doesn’t mean you get to block our civil rights movement. If this is passed on a bipartisan basis; @GovEvers needs to veto it. #BlackLivesMatter."

Carpenter went apoplectic, resulting in a multi-day rant that concluded with the intercession of the state Party Chair and the Senate Minority Leader criticizing the unhinged Carpenter who eventually apologized.

Reports The Capital Times:

Wisconsin's Democratic leaders are denouncing 'online bullying' perpetrated by Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, after he targeted Madison Senate candidate Nada Elmikashfi in a flurry of Twitter posts over the last few days that eventually led to the brief suspension of his account for harassment.

Both the state Democratic Party and Senate Minority Leader Janet Bewley decried Carpenter's actions in statements Monday morning, noting the Milwaukee senator's behavior 'crossed the line.'

'Nobody should be subjected to online bullying, which disproportionately harms women and people of color — not during this moment of long-overdue reckoning with racial justice, and not ever,' party officials wrote in their statement.

Carpenter is silent now.

As is the district attorney's office which has not even attempted to explain why it feels justified in charging two women with no criminal records with multiple felonies for non-specific acts that merit a non-criminal citation.

But local media typically does not ask this sort of question.

Wisconsin Fall Trials Show Liberal Police State Feasting on Innocents in Community

Two Black Lives Matter protesters are charged with multiple felonies
following a late-night June 2020 confrontation that State Sen Tim
Carpenter started in Madison, Wisconsin. Now, the racist state
senator wants to realize his long-term aim: Imprisoning black
people and those supporting them.

Disgraced State Senator Is Center of Political Prosecution Against Black Lives Matter

Madison, Wisconsin — Two state criminal trials this Fall exemplify the political-legal terrain in Wisconsin: A police state run by Democrats statewide, rightwing district attorneys of both parties and a corrupt judiciary.

Wisconsin State Sen Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) knew his duty before a June 2020 Midnight visit to the Capitol in the middle of the George Floyd protests here: Carpenter must confront and demonize Black Lives Matter protesters.

Much of the civilized country had decided otherwise after the horror of the George Floyd murder.

But the racist Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) continues his crusade against Black Lives Matter in Dane County Court in October in two criminal trials — Kerida O’Reilly (jury selection and trial begin Oct 15), and Samantha Hamer, (jury selection and trial begin Oct 15).

Black Lives Matter protesters, Mses. O’Reilly and Hamer, are two socially conscious area women with no criminal records.

They stand accused of felony crimes of Substantial Battery with Intent to Cause Bodily Harm, felony Party to a Crime, and misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct against Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) for no specific action at a June 23-24 Black Lives Matter protest. It bears repeating: The State is charging the women for no acts they can identified as committing.

Carpenter traveled to Madison to a June 2020 Black Lives Matter protest for whom the drug warrior maintains an apparent hatred, and started a melee, where Carpenter took a beating that he highlighted over the next year, though he twice refused medical treatment that same night.

In 2020, following the June protests, the racist Carpenter went apoplectic against a black woman running for State Senate, resulting in a multi-day rant that concluded with the intercession of the state Party Chair and the Senate Minority Leader criticizing Carpenter who eventually apologized, (The Capital Times). Carpenter said he was  "rash and reactionary" in his apology.

The reactionary Carpenter is renown in some circles for single-handedly blocking doctor-prescribed marijuana in 2009, the better the State has a weapon to imprison black and brown people in the drug war. Under heavy criticism, eight years later, Carpenter reversed his public stance, but the damage was done.

But not even cops state O'Reilly and Hamer can be identified as doing anything that night, a fact that did not stop the district attorney from charge-stacking.

Madison police detective Linda Trevarthen who led the investigation of the melee acknowledged that there is no evidence the women specifically touched Carpenter in any way, much less a felony battery contact, (Rickert, Wisconsin State Journal).

Not one witness claims Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer can be identified as committing so much as laying a finger on the precious state senator.

But Carpenter wants to get Black Lives Matter. So does the Dane County District Attorney. So merely being present at a protest is enough for a criminal prosecution.

Bowing to the ridiculous lack of evidence, "The two people charged with the beating of a state senator have been offered a deal by prosecutors that would include no jail time and deferred prosecution," WKOW-TV (Galli, Madison) reported last April.

No deal, we're innocent, replied O’Reilly and Hamer.

Corrupt DA Changes Charging Standard in These Cases

In the instances of Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer, the District Attorney has dropped its charging standard in these cases from can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, (See, for example, WISC-TV 2018; Madison . com), to the much lower standard, (and newly employed as a charging standard):  Claimed reasonable inference.
 
At a probable cause hearing in August 2020, Asst DA William Brown, known for over-the-top prosecutions and Manichean court posturing, admitted, "We don’t know exactly what happens ...  other than we have a witness that says various people began kicking and punching. There is a reasonable inference that those two people who are aggressively running at him are the ones involved in the exact same incident," (Rickert, Wisconsin State Journal).

Why the change for these cases? Because this is a political prosecution.

So, in the District Attorney's new theory of criminal guilt, running is a crime. Problem is running, in the real world, is not a crime.

As one of the victims of the melee instigated by Carpenter, Carpenter swears he cannot identify either of the defendants as laying a finger on him. Neither does any video. So, there is as much evidence for Carpenter being a violent felon as anyone else.

The district attorney's office has decided not to test the credibility of Tim Carpenter whose conduct before, the night of, and after the confrontation is bizarre, including his hostile online attack against a black woman running for state senate, an affair for which Carpenter was forced to apologize in July, just a few weeks after Carpenter's melee.

Charge-Stacking

The Dane County District Attorney loves to charge-stack, an authoritarian practice utilized across the country. Corrupt District Attorneys will pile on charges to induce a situation in which an innocent defendants face losing years of their lives or make a false plea of guilty.

Not surprisingly, Black Lives Matter protesters Kerida O’Reilly and Samantha Hamer, two socially conscious area women with no criminal records, stand accused of the felony crime of Substantial Battery with Intent to Cause Bodily Harm, felony Party to a Crime, and misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct against State Sen. Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) for no specific action at a June 23-24 Black Lives Matter protest.

Targeting the Press

In Sept 2021, earlier this month, the D.A.'s office issued three subpoenas against area journalists, though again not one of the journalist can identify Mses. O’Reilly or Hamer as laying a finger on Carpenter.

So, all the DA has is some eight to 10 people during a chaotic melee, and other community members present.

Carpenter faked a collapse in front of WKOW-TV at the capitol, and
then began his media campaign demonizing Black Lives Matter.
This fake collapse was preceded by Carpenter's hollered conversation,
as the state senator spoke with several protest medics and
peacekeepers in an eight-minute conversation captured on audio,
(Pittman/WORT News), that shows Carpenter declining medical
attention before faking his collapse, but after spotting WKOW-TV.

Carpenter traveled to Madison in June 2020 to confront Black Lives Matter liberation protestors, worked to record and virtually deliver the liberation workers to rightwing doxxers, was confronted by marchers and after a melee, embarked on a mission to imprison as many Black Lives Matter workers as possible.

White supremacists have doxxed, (publish private or identifying information about a particular individual on the Internet, typically with malicious intent), and endangered liberation protesters across the country, so folks were nervous that late June night, perfect prey for Carpenter looking for attention.

Video shows Carpenter performed his 'collapse' at which Carpenter laid down gently on soft plants (instead of the pavement) and then used the subsequent four weeks to issue press statements hyping his 'recovery.' Carpenter didn't fall down uncontrollably, he performed an easy set-down in front of WKOW-TV to dramatize the confrontation that he began.

The credibility of Carpenter is on trial as two women standing up for Black people face the worst of the Wisconsin criminal justice system and the Democratic Party.

Corruption County — Manitowoc, Wisconsin Strikes Again; Targets Critic to Protect Old Wrongful Convictions

Manitowoc County Sheriff Uses Office to Silence Critic of Wrongful Convictions

Update III Sept 2, 2021: Supporters of Brad Dassey, step son of the infamous Barb Tadych, in Manitowoc County say the world's worse mother still wants her step-son incarcerated for criticizing her alleged abuse.
Corruption County, Manitowoc County, is reportedly offering a fine against Dassey for writing the truth about his step-mother.
The deranged mother who offers her children to Manitowoc County police to be incarcerated wants step-son, Brad, in prison because he defeated Tadych in a civil suit on First Amendment grounds.
Tadych says an unenforceable retraining order, now vacated, may have been violated. The Manitowoc County District Attorney's office is rightwing and out-of-control and is helping Tadych, who looks to the office to help incarcerate her step-son.
The next plea hearing is scheduled for October 15, 2021 at 11:30 am.

--

Update II: World's worst mother, Barb Tadych, who fed her innocent son, Brendan Dassey, alone in a room with two police tree jumpers resulting in a life sentence, now wants her step-son, Brad Dassey, in prison too. June 17, a judge will decide whether to imprison another innocent Dassey on unfounded criminal charges heard by the Manitowoc County judiciary, known for corruption and stupidity.

 Update: Analysis of the Manitowoc County District Attorney's ridiculous Summons, relying on the even more ridiculous reports of the Sheriff's Office and Barb Tadych reasons that since the TRO and petition for restraining order were denied May 3, the TRO is not enforceable on its face. Brad Dassey will prevail again, but the take-away is Barb Tadych, the DA and the Sheriff all worked together to get Brad arrested, convicted and imprisoned. Sound familiar?

Madison, Wisconsin — Manitowoc, Wisconsin is Corruption County USA.

For readers wondering whatever happened to the most corrupt county in America — Manitowoc County, Wisconsin — cops there are searching for new victims, and protecting wrongful convictions through the corrupt conduct of their office of public trust, under color of law.

One of the world's worst mothers, Barb Tadych, Brendan Dassey's mother, is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary, Making a Murderer.

Barb Tadych's Choice

Tadych is a major figure in the grotesque frame-up scheme against Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.

In 2005, Tadych fed her 16-year-old son, Brendan, who has a severe language impairment and 70 IQ, to corrupt Wisconsin law enforcement [Tom Fassbender (Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation investigator (Ret)) and Mark Wiegert, (current Sheriff of the Calumet County Sheriff's Office), who interrogated Brendan alone in a room], the better to elicit words that the cops could falsely state constituted a confession to murder of Teresa Halbach.

Law enforcement then used Brendan's so-called confession to convict the innocent Steven Avery.

Tadych publicly protested Brendan's innocence, but Tadych also remains under suspicion for her defense of Bobby Dassey, Brendan's brother, who implicated the once-exonerated Steven Avery as the State's star witness, (Ferak, Appleton Post-Crescent). 

Bobby Dassey is now a key suspect for the 2005 murder of Ms. Halbach, (for which Brendan and Avery were convicted in 2007), and a witness came forward last month attesting he saw Bobby Dassey planting Halbach's Rav-4 on Avery's property.

In April 2021, faced with compelling evidence Bobby Dassey may have been responsible for killing Ms. Halbach, and was responsible, in part, for framing Steven Avery, [a legal argument that "directly connects Bobby to the crime charged [against Avery Brendan Dassey]," (Avery Motion for Remand and Stay of Appeal, April 12, 2021, p. 5), Barb Tadych's response was not to condemn the odious Manitowoc County Sheriff Dept and other law enforcement for its actions after this spectacular new development.

Instead, Barb Tadych reached out and colluded with the very Manitowoc County Sheriff Dept that has terrorized innocent people for decades. This time their target is Brad Dassey, half-brother of Brendan and Bobby. Tadych had already thrown one son to the wolves, so, she apparently reasoned, why not another?

Barb Tadych and the Manitowoc County Sheriff Dept remain close, even after Tadych's move to sacrifice Brendan caused Tadych to criticize the cops, in regret.

First, Tadych sought and obtained a Temporary Restraining Order, [Manitowoc County Case Number 2021CV000155, Barbara Tadych vs. Brad Anthony Dassey; April 19, 2021] against step-son Brad Dassey (for his criticism on social media of Tadych as an abusive parent and a possible destroyer of evidence implicating Bobby), days after the April 12, 2021 development of a new witness coming forward and attesting that the witness saw Bobby Dassey planting critical evidence on Steven Avery's property, (Patch. com).

After Tadych's ridiculous petition of a harassment injunction against Brad Dassey was dismissed on May 3, the Manitowoc County District Attorney mailed a criminal summons also dated May 3 to Brad Dassey, citing a polemical and sketchy Manitowoc County Sheriff Dept report alleging Brad Dassey violated the Temporary Restraining Order, though ultimately the TRO and Barb Tadych's harassment petition were denied on May 3.

Corruption County wants Brad Dassey for his criticism of the Sheriff and Barb Tadych, and it will not stop.

And there is nothing law enforcement can inflict that the Wisconsin Dept of Justice will not defend.

Brad Dassey has set up a legal defense fund. Readers are invited to contribute.

Phone calls to the Manitowoc County District Attorney's office this morning were not successful.

The cause of justice is not the cause of the Wisconsin Dept of Justice and other corrupt Wisconsin law enforcement.

Making a Murderer — Wisconsin DoJ Plays Games as Wrongfully Convicted Lose Years of Life

Attorney General Joshua Kaul's 'Defend Wrongful Convictions at All Costs' Commitment Is Betrayal of Wisconsin

Madison, Wisconsin — Wisconsin Republicans and Democrats agree on a policy area: Defend wrongful convictions.

Consider the case of Wisconsin v. Steven A. Avery, featured in the Emmy-winning documentary, Making a Murderer.

In post-conviction litigation, the once-exonerated Steven Avery presents game-changing evidence to the Wisconsin state judiciary exposing law enforcement in its second frame-up job against Avery for homicide in 2005.

The second frame-up was committed shortly after Avery prepared evidence for his $36-million civil rights suit for misconduct in the first frame-up (Ferak, Appleton Post-Crescent). Law enforcement officials reasoned if they could pen a homicide case onto Avery, the resultant prosecution would silence the multi-million-dollar civil action.

Brady Violations

In court filings, Avery has chronicled six major Brady violations in post-conviction litigation. 

Brady violations are instances when law enforcement disregards its duty to notify a defendant of exculpatory evidence — for the police purpose of securing a conviction, then defending the wrongful conviction.

By effectively blocking exculpatory evidence that law enforcement controls or accumulates, law enforcement becomes the architect of court proceedings to arrive at guilty verdicts and other rulings disfavorable to the defense.

This imposed system that a defendant must navigate is found to violate defendants' civil liberties and Due Process in Brady v. Maryland, (373 U.S. 83 (1963). See also Wisconsin v. Gary Lee Wayerski, from the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, (2015). [Under Wayerski, the Court finds that the prosecution must fulfill its Brady obligation by alerting defense to exculpatory evidence in its possession, even if the evidence is also housed elsewhere.]

In Avery's post-conviction litigation, the Wisconsin Dept of Justice refuses to even respond in legal filings to chronicles of Brady violations and new evidence brought forth, much less accede to a hearing or vacating a corruptly secured conviction, least exposure brings the State to public ridicule.

Instead, the DoJ under direction of Attorney General Joshua Kaul (D) makes motion after motion to delay and block the courts from even considering a request to consider a hearing.

So, while the Brady v. Maryland case acclaiming Due Process is 58-years-old, there is no enforcement guarantee or Constitutional ethics in the Wisconsin judiciary that compels law enforcement to follow the law, so law enforcement flaunts its obligations and judges turn a blind eye.

The Wisconsin Dept of Justice, which argues against Due Process rights in the 2015 Wisconsin v. Gary Lee Wayerski (implementing Brady), today takes the position of, We don't like your Due Process rights, we don't like our Brady obligations, we don't like your bringing up law enforcement law-breaking in your post-conviction litigation.

The anti-Brady ethos lives in Avery's post-conviction litigation as the State of Wisconsin filed a frivolous motion that is demonstrably false and that, further, defames and personally maligns Avery's attorney, Kathleen Zellner (Wisconsin legal filing, April 16, 2021).

In response, attorney Zellner penned a devastating chronicle of State conduct that shows the Wisconsin Dept of Justice to be engaged in serial law-breaking and hostility to its law-breaking being mentioned in Court at the costs of an innocent man's life.

Writes Zellner in Reply to State's Response, April 22, 2021:

It is a supreme irony that in one of the most blatant examples of a wrongful conviction the State's only response is to falsely accuse Mr. Avery's lead counsel of nefarious conduct for discovering a 6th Brady violation. Rather than seeking justice, the State wants to 'slay the messenger' by putting forth more false allegations, a skill that it has mastered over the last 16 years. The State turns a blind eye towards its past actions of withholding exculpatory evidence. When the State disclosed a CD of violent porn from the Dassey-Janda computer 12 years after the CD was created and concealed from prior counsel, the State argued, as it does now, that Mr. Avery was attempting to add new material to his § 974.06 motion. (740.5). When the State facilitated the destruction in 2011 of evidence it had agreed to allow Mr. Avery to test, the State argued, as is it does now, that Mr. Avery was attempting to add new material to his § 974.06 motion. (See 770.2). This Court did not accept those disingenuous responses then, and it should reject the same disingenuous response now. (pp 1-2. Reply to State's Response, April 22, 2021)

The community behind Steven Avery remains optimistic.

But the State's reply to Avery's April 22, 2021 chronicle of State misconduct is to strike the whole reply from the record. More game-playing.

There is a huge body of Constitutional law that makes explicit citizen's rights.

The State of Wisconsin will never heed to this law while a corrupt judiciary keeps rewarding bad faith and ill will of the government towards the citizenry for the purpose of securing injustice.

Attorney General Joshua Kaul, who assumed office in 2019, has conspicuously failed to launch any DoJ investigations into law enforcement, including his own department, despite the widespread criticism of police, Ken Kratz, Tom Fassbender (Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation investigator (Ret)) and Mark Wiegert, (current Sheriff of the Calumet County Sheriff's Office), for example, in the Avery case.

Kaul's mother, former Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager (2003-2007) worked to clear law enforcement of misconduct in the first east-central Wisconsin crime pinned on Avery for which he was exonerated in 2003. [Wisconsin Dept of Justice report of the investigation and prosecution of the wrongful conviction of the exonerated Steven Avery; authored by Amy Lehmann, Deb Strauss, Dec 17 2003.]

Point is high Democratic Wisconsin state officials remain opposed to Constitutional rights, and advocate, instead, for law enforcement which has grown into a grave threat to the lives and liberty of Wisconsin citizens.

Watch this space for updates on the Steve Avery post-conviction case.

Like a psychopath with his knee to Avery's neck, the State of Wisconsin works to bleed the life out of an innocent man.

And there is nothing law enforcement can inflict that the Wisconsin Dept of Justice will not defend.
