| Vonda Evans |
I want to know the difference. I want to know the difference between Vonda Evans and Rae Lee Chabot. I think it is obvious, and I'm going to tell you a story about a woman, and that woman is me. I have said this a million times. These judges that rule on these verdicts that are unfair, are not bad people. These men and women, like those involved in the Oakland County prostitution ring that includes Rae Lee "Let 'em go Chabot" are being blackmailed, exhorted and bullied by men that want to make money from their sentencing. Men and women don't get the sentence they deserve and come back to the system and make these men and women more money. In order to get back to the jail to make them money, however, others have to be victims of crime. Some of these women die from their addiction and some are killed on the street. Either way, it's messed up. Either way people, innocent people are hurt. The women's prison numbers have sky-rocketed in the last 20 years and their sexual prowess is why, along with the money made by prisoners. You know when a system is corrupt, when the number of prisoners in their jails and prisons are so high, you can't understand.
It has been found, today that 2,000 women at the women's prison at Huron Valley have scabies. This prison is full and about 700 women over capacity. I am told that women living in Dickenson, a unit in Huron Valley, are like a herd of buffalo stampeding the wild blue yonder at chow. Women sit in the day room that I also hear is filled to capacity. When the officer yells, "CHOW!" Women that used to include me, set off to the walk to the chow hall, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In Dickenson, that means women fill the stairwells on their way to eat. There is just too many! There is just not enough attention being paid to the number of women in the prison. I was told by the wardens assistant that there is no health risks, although there is mold in the showers and flowing through the vents. Too many women, not enough showers. Long lines for the phone, maggots in the meals and sexual harassment suits. In fact, the State will be paying out on one any day now. Nobody cares to know or listen to a person like me. Women, abused and left to be made to live uncomfortably. Not by judges in Oakland County, 95% of the women in OCJ are are there for petty crimes, "Uttering and Publishing", "Driving While License Suspended", "Retail Fraud", and the most notorious, "Prostitution".
It is the job of a judge to weigh these situations and make a choice of sentencing. I've watched Vonda Evans send a woman to prison, without trepidation. I know that Chabot doesn't look at sentencing the same way. I sat with her while she gave a man with 18 loitering convictions, and a stint in prison already under his belt, get a probation sentence. That means that he'll be back in jail within a year and made to prostitute, again. He'd be back before Chabot and get a lighter sentence, again. What this does to the people of Oakland County and the people of Michigan for that fact is make another person or business a victim. This man's breaking and entering charge was made into a loitering charge. He had broken into a business while it was closed and had stolen a bunch of goods and got caught on his way out. The Prosecutor, who isn't always in on the "prostitution sentencing", because they don't have to be if the judge is in on it. Has a hard time accepting what is going on. In this case, the Prosecutor asked for at least 18 months in prison. As the judge read the sentence, my mouth dropped. Once you've been to prison in the last five years, there is no way, with 18 other felony convictions and a prison sentence, you should not go back to prison. She set him free that day on probation with "Time Served".
I recall Evan's chastisement of police officer, William Melendez, at his sentencing. She was harsh, but fair. She told him like it was. He was a horrible man to beat that man, plant drugs and lie to the court. All of her words were true and hit home with the man, because he sat mute at his sentencing that was light in my opinion. Rae Lee Chabot has another famous exchange with Geoffrey Fieger. In fact, Fox 2 made a montage of their exchanges. In the short video, Chabot is heard telling Fieger to "move along", and denying his objections. It was during a murder trial of a young man that had killed a police officer. Fieger should have moved on, the kid was a killer. There is nothing more serious to a judge than a dead cop. But after my experiences with Chabot, it was hilarious that she was so tough with Fieger, but not the men and women that are causing havoc in our community. She's a puppet, only getting serious when it comes to what she thinks the public cares about. After cutting him short, it would be ironic, if it's his law firm that leads a class-action lawsuit against the likes of her, the OCSD and the County. What would be equally horrible is if he wins!
Victims of crime that don't think this kind of sentencing doesn't hurt anyone, should look at it in a different light. Someone that gets out on probation, is an addict and has drug-court is who is usually set free. Many of these people rob and steal to get their drugs. If they are set free, and go with the odds then someone will be robbed or stolen from within a year. Some old woman will be beaten. Someone's house will be broken into and their entire lives shaken to the core. Because once these things happen to you, you never see the world the same way, again. Likewise, these men and women die. They go back on the street, they use drugs, make drug dealing enemies and could be killed in the commission of a crime. There has been deaths of men and women in Pontiac, especially on Baldwin over the last 10 years. Personally, my nephews mother killed herself drinking. She had three DUI's in Oakland County. Never did more than 30 days in jail. Drinking Under the Influence is serious business anywhere else. My nephew's mother, and at one time a very good friend of mine died at her own hands.
Jail and prison can be a very therapeutic place for an addict. A person can actually use that time to get their lives together. If anything, they can use it as a time for rehabilitating their life. Every minute they aren't on the streets using drugs is time their body has a break from drugs and alcohol and that time is crucial to their survival. It is time that they are not doing drugs. Like anything else, when you have time off, it gives you time to reflect on your life and maybe make better choices. Not to say it would work, but it would give people the chance to live and not die. My nephew, whom I love dearly, doesn't have a mother, anymore. I think that OCJ is a huge part of her death, because she was a drunk. A drunk that had three arrests for drinking and driving. Once, she was arrested shortly after leaving our house and let me tell you that she was sloppy drunk. So drunk, she hit several cars on her way. She also had her three children in the car with her. She got a slap on the wrist, and it was her second or third DUI, and I know she was way passed the legal limit. She should have gone to prison. That may sound harsh, but it could have given her body an entire year free of drugs and especially alcohol. After two stints in the hospital and the request to never drink again, she seized and never came out of it. My 21-year old nephew had to sign to take her off the respirator. He came to my mother, his grandmother and cried like a baby. I was locked up, fighting the same men that helped to kill his mother. These men are monsters.
The Judicial Tenure Commission, whom I have asked for help on several occasions is a joke. The White judges of Oakland County get a pass. They are allowed to do whatever they want and not get punished. This is the second Wayne County judge that is out of a job, because of their intervening in a situation concerning them. I wrote them countless letters and recently had a situation with a racist, sexist and prejudice judge that they ignored my complaints. The Lisa Gorcyca investigation and punishment was a joke, and so petty, I know that Gorcyca had to have pissed one of them off. I say them, because these men are law enforcement phantoms. They harass me, put Personal Protections Orders against me and I have no idea who they are. They are just giving orders. They are the ghost that everyone is afraid of. So high on the food-chain that they can't be touched. The same men that kept Rae Lee Chabot out of trouble when Channel 7 found her doing the same thing they say Vonda Evans is doing. But Vonda Evans' sentences don't make them any money, so she will resign. The same kind of White men that won't move those women in the over-crowded Huron Valley Correctional Facility. The same ones. So, the difference is color, but more importantly, money!
Mike Bouchard wants us to think that it is over. I know that unless the State or the Feds come and close it down that men and women will always be a prostitution ring. Men have raised their children, built expensive homes, RV's and classic cars on selling people. They have children in school, driving cars and wearing expensive clothes on selling women. They have cabins, "Up North" and grocery list that can feed a king. No one is going to tell me it's over. Thanks to another crooked judge, I might be finding out what's going on really soon. I don't believe him, because I know all that I know. The difference between these two women is one is willing to do things the other refuses to do. As I have said in the past, Wayne county is doing it, too. The difference between these two women is Black and White, but it is also green. The game is being played and it is being televised. So, bye Vonda, girl! It's been real...
