Statement

From the beginning of this case the witness words have been misrepresented. From the victim witness advocate Tina Simmons, her supervisor Tyler St Laurence , the original prosecutor from the district court case Megan tessier, and the current prosecutor Dana Parsons. Both prosecutors have never spoken with the alleged victim and on multiple hearing misquoted her and the statements obtained by the officers. When attorney parsons took over the case and indicted it to superior she left out that the alleged victim invoked her fifth amendment right. With holding crucial information needed to make a no bias determination. In the beginning of all this they kept hinting to the alleged victim about rape in which she said any sex had was consensual. So they ultimately dropped it. In the indictment kidnapping was added to the charges but at no time was the alleged victim questioned about feeling kidnapped or forced to stay there. Mr LaPorte has all documents and evidence needed.

Definition of Offense(s)

Evidence that is favorable to the defendant (exculpatory) and could impact the outcome of the defendant’s case (material) is often called “Brady material” because of the seminal 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case, Brady v. Maryland.


"Overcharging" refers to a prosecutor bringing excessive or unwarranted charges against a defendant in a criminal case. This can occur when a prosecutor deliberately or recklessly charges someone with more crimes or more serious crimes than the evidence supports.


Witness tampering is a form of prosecutor misconduct where the prosecutor intentionally tries to interfere with the testimony of a witness in a court proceeding.
