The Pinky Promise Scam

-
Wondering why you see the same people commit crimes on our evening news? Wondering where these people get their money to pay fines and bail out of jail? Well, it's not how you may think...

Through my combing of the docket entries on case.net I keep seeing "Defendant to be assessed for pre-trial services".  This scares the crap out of me. This is essentially a scam to keep jail numbers low. Let me explain why, please bear with me.

Laura & John Arnold have the "Arnold Foundation", and they have developed a Public Safety Assessment algorithm.  Basically they give this to any court that wants to use it -- and the court trust a computer to decide whether or not someone is going to commit another crime if he is released on a pinky promise to come back.  (And somewhere I think I saw where the Arnolds are related to George Soros in some fashion.  If you don't know who Mr. Soros is let me know and I will do an article on him.)

OK, now still bear with me.
  
Do you remember the serial killer in Tampa FL that was finally caught by the kid who was working at McDonalds and recognized him - calling law enforcement, he got arrested.  That person, Howell Emanuel Donaldson III met all the criteria on the Arnold Foundation Public Safety Assessment algorithm and would have been RELEASED ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE with a pinky promise to appear for his court hearing.

ARE YOU SCARED YET?

The judges in Jasper County who "O.R." someone are not even using that tool, they are simply making a decision in favor of the criminal that he will return for court.

 Did Willie Spencer work out? NO.  And the judges also have some defendants assessed for pre-trial services, which leads me to believe that they are using the Arnold Foundation Public Safety Assessment algorithm.  So what would have happened if Howell Emanuel Donaldson III had visited Jasper County and got picked up on a lesser charge, let's say Violating a Protection Order and he was released on his own recognizance??? (I have seen our judges releasing defendants here in Jasper County on that charge with a pinky promise.)  I truly do not believe we would have ever seen him back here for court and there would be no one to go catch him and return him for court (only bail bondsman do that, and not costing us tax money to do it).  And a serial killer would still be on the move.  

 NOW ARE YOU SCARED?  

 Demand our Jasper County Judges punish criminals, for their sake and ours! No more pinky promise releases! No more releasing offenders for free onto our streets to victimize again!

WOW - guess I hit a nerve and pissed some people off  with last week's blog.  Here  is a fact for you - Indiana spends more on its jails than it does on education for its children.  Maybe if they spent all that money in teaching their children right from wrong they wouldn't have big ol jails. Jail count Monday 3-26-18 - 266. Did you know that the Joplin Municipal Court has a website that you can check charges and see if you have court and what date.  Great site.  So in trying to decide what to write about this week I typed in the name of my subject in the Joplin website and found out she has 3 last names.  Alma Louise Karr Sherrick Powers - and I probably don't have them in the correct order, but on with the story. Case number 17AO-CR00985 was filed 7-20-17 and 7-28-17 for 2 counts of robbery, each one a B Felony. And the history goes like this: 8-9-17 Warrant Issued 8-14-17 Bond set ...

Back on May 2, 2018 I let you know about the saga of John Doe and Mr. Got Dad's Money -- the 70 year old man that Mr. Got Dad's Money turned around and came back to beat the crap out of and he was never charged.    I saw John Doe last weekend -- still wearing the bruises from that beat down AND here is something else Mr. Got Dad's Money should be real proud of -- he beat an elderly man who walks with cane.   At this point all I can say about the Prosecuting Attorney is God will take care of this in the end, hope you and Mr. Money can explain it then!  However, our APPOINTED Prosecuting Attorney will have another one to add to the list of "REALLY?"!   Mr. Landowner owns an empty lot across the street from Mr. Renter. Mr. Renter decides he needs to put up a mailbox on Mr. Landowner's empty lot and decides he doesn't need permission to do so. Mr. Renter digs a hole, plants a mailbox on the empty lot across the street from his house. Mr. Landowner ta...

More and more I am seeing bonds that are being issued by the judges as "10% cash required to the court".   Here are 4 just off the Jasper County Sheriff's Office roster: 1.  Cody Proffitt - 18AO-CR00761 - Stealing Controlled Substance -  D Felony $3,000 - 10% cash required 2.  Jesse Sprinkle - 17AO-CR01562-01 - 2nd/Assault - B Felony $15,000 - 10% cash required 3.  Darrell Towne - 18AO-CR00882 - Domestic Assault - E Felony $10,000 - 10% cash required 4.  Scott Troutman - 18AO-CR00490-01 - Attempted Burglary/Receive Stolen Prop/ Assault C Felony $35,000 - 10% cash required With these type bonds the defendant posts 10% of the bond with the court and gets a 90% discount for the rest.  Remember from past articles I have told you that when a defendant is on bond with a bondsman and takes off, they have to find him or pay the entire amount of the bond, 100% to...
