SURVENT

On May 23, 2007 two of the idiots involved in an attempt to sell Coke's secrets to Pepsi were sentenced for conspiring to steal and sell trade secrets. Per a press release on the DOJ website:

[Joya] Williams was sentenced to eight years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution. Dimson was sentenced to five years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release, and also ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution. Dimson pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge on Oct. 23, 2006. After a seven-day jury trial, Williams was convicted of these charges on Feb. 2, 2007. Another co-defendant in the case, Edmund Duhaney, 43, of Decatur, Ga., will be sentenced at a later date.

I guess it is nice to know that there is a corporation in the world that still has a conscience. Thanks for turning in these idiots, Pepsi - I am a Coke drinker and would hate to drink a Coke out of a Pepsi can!

**Please see my DISCLAIMER about Randall Raar information related to correspondence with Virginia Lee**

Virginia sent me a snippit from a letter she received from Randall. Here is what her e-mail said:

Letter written 11/05 from Randy Raar included the following:

I finished my speach to the Judge where I will dismiss my paid lawyer and obtain a free
one - I'm broke.
Where is what concensus is: State blew case and lawyer made deal to get conviction to
save grace.
Think of it. Zilch on raid. Too many issues I doubt lawyers truth. Can't tell all.
They took chance because customs, FBI and Interpol
indicate I was involved with distribution of child porn. A lie. All they found was mag
called "Moppits' of 1970 - Ex Post Facto. So what did they find? Rfiles. Con in
possession. Found n 2nd search. All fuzzy. Plus lawyer has denied me access to search
warrants. ODD.

Please by lawyer to Judge Prison 2 years plus probation - will fire him before Judge
decides 11/8.
I'm alone. So afraid. Oye afraid - Lawyer wants five thousand dollars more. Oye wants
to pay - No have. Scared!
Oye doesn't see the lawyer scam,

End

It appears that to Randall Raar, everyone is out to get him and has a hidden agenda. It is hard to believe that there is such a conspiracy against one man just because he has cried fowl against the MDOC. Virginia sent him a response letter on November 13, 2006 which can be Downloaded Here. While Virginia appears to agree he was guilty of taking advantage of the girl in 1989, she does state that she thinks it was consensual. Consensual or not, sexual acts involving a minor are a crime - period. At least she puts the blame on him where is obviously should be.

In another e-mail on November 13, 2006

Virginia pointed out a site that I had already come across in looking into Randall Raar. A reader of this blog also came across the same website a couple months ago and posted a link to it in his comment on one of my posts. The site is Prisoners Against Parole Board Abuse and is run by an inmate named Rick Crowell. It does not appear that this site is ever updated and seems to be more of a plea to send money to them for smokes than to help them in their plight for justice. What are your thoughts, folks?

More to come over the next couple days as I have more letters.........stay tuned.......

**DISCLAIMER**

That is my disclaimer so you all know I am trying to be as up front as possible. If any of the information that I post is inaccurate or proves to be false, I will immediately remove it upon notification. Nothing I post that has been provided to me by Virginia Lee should be considered as my thoughts, beliefs or opinions and could for all intents and purposes be considered heresay.

I do not support Randall Raar in his plight to prove his supposed innocence; however, this case does interest me from the standpoint that there is always some truth to every story. While I have my own beliefs about the subject, I am not attempting to prove or disprove his innocence as it is not up to me to judge whether Randall Raar is guilty or not as that has been done by a jury of his peers in a court of law.

It is also not my goal to prove or disprove any of his claims and I am not saying that any of the claims that may come up in my posts are true or false. My goal here is to simply pass on what I am being told by what I deem as a fairly reliable source to provide possible insight into this case from Randall Raar's point of view and that of his ex-sister-in-law.

I have not been able to verify that the person I have been in correspondence with, Virginia Lee, is actually Randall Raar's ex-sister-in-law. The information provided and other facts seem to add up that she is who she claims, but I want to be clear that the information I am posting regarding letters from Randall Raar to Virginia and my correspondence with her is based on the premise that her identity is true. Please use this information to form your own opinions and ask your own questions, but be informed that I have not been able to clearly substantiate her identity yet.

**Please see my DISCLAIMER about Randall Raar information related to correspondence with Virginia Lee**

In one of the first e-mails between his ex-sister-in-law and me about Randall Raar, she stated the following:

I personally think that Randy is innocent of the charges against him. He rales against
the system in a loud manner and has associated with the wrong people and everything points to his
guilt. I know that. Yes, he is obsessed with sex, but again, he has a very young Thai wife that satisfied
those cravings.

He is a mad person and is consumed with his wish to expose the system. WHY was he
targeted for arrest? Who made a charge? What was he supposed to have done to warrant the arrest? He
wrote to the MDOC and was a huge nuisance to them and decided to shut him up. That is
all I can figure. He is out of money. His wife barely talks English, and she is lost and
afraid.

Virginia has said all along that she thinks he is innocent of the child porn charges but not necessarily so about the 1989 sexual assault of a 5-year-old girl which he was recently convicted of. Is it possible that he was set up for complaining too much, sure. Is that likely, not in my opinion. He was released from prison in 1984 after being convicted of sexually assaulting a child, he has a young Thai wife and Virginia even says he is obsessed with sex. Seems to me to equal a person who might strike again and commit another crime. I do not know for sure, but I would guess that once you have been convicted of a felony that even a whisper of a possible illegal act will bring the law down on you like the law came down on Raar. Virginia asks what he did to get targeted for the arrest - his sexual assault of a child years ago was probably enough. Are there some issues with the MDOC? Maybe, but when criminals gripe it seems that is it usually just so they can be heard and the validity of their accusations has to be questioned.

I was just looking at my last post and it was almost 3 months ago to the date! That is far too long to let a blog go with no updates/posts. It seems that when you take on a new job that training and getting into the groove take up a ton of your time. When you throw into the mix family and daily life......zoom ----> 3 months go by.

Anyway, I will try to keep up a bit more on posts and will start off with a post regarding the items I said I would post a couple months back about Randall Raar from his ex-sister-in-law. In case anyone missed it, he was found guilty of all counts of child porn as well as a rape that occurred back in the '80's. Even his ex-sister-in-law feels he made his own bed per her recent comment on my post called "Randall Raar Found Guilty On 21 Counts Related To Child Pornography". Posts to follow shortly.......please stay tuned!
