Yes it's me.
Right now Rocky River because of O'shea's actions is being sued in Federal Court for violating some woman's civil rights, falsifying evidence, intimidation etc... I also personally know of a case where he withheld evidence from defense attorneys and conspired with police to commit perjury. There is another case where he was a defense attorney and worked with a prosecutor to come up with some crazy sham of a deal that ended being investigated, the prosecutor in that case had some sanctions against him I believe but O'shea walked always with a slap on the wrist.
Point is he's a corrupt attorney in a position of power that has no issue about abusing it. Because it's in Rocky River and they only deal with misdemeanor cases, there is not a lot of spotlight being put on it. Because he gave a Cavs player special treatment finally now there is. Never the less, someone in his position can do a lot of damage to someone's life and in some instances he has.
As a taxpayer I don't like to see the city losing money through lawsuits or other means because a prosecutor can't do his job properly and then the city has to raise taxes because of it. Particularly when the money could be spent on other things like city services, schools etc...
"You are wrong on so many levels. The amount of money he's paid in fines for starters. Corruption?
There was one instance I know of where a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Also, any normal joe can talk to the prosecutor and get no points and just pay the fine, court costs. I've done it many times. People just don't know about it. My lawyer hipped me to the game."
No I'm not. On the first 3 instances he payed a $50 fine plus court costs. Read the court docket. I have never seen a warrant issued for his arrest in regards to his ongoing problems with Rocky River. Show me some proof of that and I'll concede on that point.
"Well, When i got a ticket, I didn't show up at the court 1st two dates and showed up the 3rd time, but cop didn't show up. Went out with 0 fines, 0 points. Btw, I was going 104 on a 65 zone (This was when i was 18 , 2 years ago)."
Were you in the City of Cleveland or was it a highway patrolman from out of town? I have done that in the city when I have gotten a ticket. Cleveland is undermanned and has bigger issues then speeding tickets to worry about for cops to waste time in court. That's why you see a lot of highway patrolman issuing tickets within the city limits. A highway patrolman from Wadsworth is hard pressed to drive an hour there and back for a speeding ticket. Sometimes they show sometimes they don't. In the suburbs they always show. Watch the video and you'll see the cop showed up in court for this case.
None of that changes the fact the J.J. should have gotten a reckless opp charge, a driving under suspension charge a maximum of a $1000 combined fine, plus costs and 6 points assessed but walked away with a muffler noise $50 fine plus costs and 0 points. I'd love to see anyone else get that deal.
Besides, how many people can either afford to take a day off work or to have an attorney come to court for them to deal with this issues. It's a further example of how there are two types of justice in this country. One for the rich and famous and another for everybody else.
At the least this story is enlightening people about the system and it's processes.
