Statements From Jamie Dowling (Lee)-August 21, 2013
"I have been given probation, a fine and community service. I intend to start a non-profit organization "The Dowling Foundation", in honor of my children, that will aide families involved in "freak accidents", such as ours, with funeral, travel, and hotel expenses.
I see this benefiting so many families. The last thing you want to stress about in a time like this is your finances.
Hopefully, they will allow me to count this toward my community service hours.
You can find The Dowling Foundation on Face Book.
You can join the Dowling Foundation on Face Book by clicking on here to submit your request for approval to join. It is also a page to leave suggestions, comments, support (this paragraph was inserted by me)
Thank you to everybody who has signed this
petition. It truly means the world to me to know that so many people
have been so supportive and praying for me.
I know that your prayers are the only way I'm getting through this.
To clarify, my children were properly restrained in appropriate child seats, I was not speeding, I wasn't under the influence of anything as I don't drink or participate in the use of any type of drug and take no prescription drugs (even after the accident).
We were heading into town to get cash to pay for the firewood that was being delivered to the house to keep us warm.
It wasn't snowing at my house and the roads were clear when we left or I never would have been on the road.
I hope that helps answer any questions.
Again, thank you all for your support. God bless." (END OF JAMIE'S STATEMENT)
Courageous, mature, classy words from an extremely brave, innocent woman who has suffered way too much.
Honest, caring words from a mother who has lost her two children, 5 year-old son Landyn Scott and 2-year-old Raylee Kay through no fault of her own, in a completely random accident, that could have happened to anyone.
Her tragic loss is more than most people can ever imagine and made much more horrible by the persecution of her in the name of the law by a cruel, despicable arrogant D.A. who abused his powers and corrupted the law in pursuing legal charges against her.
The facts as have been released by the D.A.'s Office and the Colorado Highway Patrol investigating officer speak for themselves as to her innocence.
Every once in awhile I get an email from someone who claims that "Jamie's children were not properly restrained in their car seats", or casts erroneous, unsubstantiated descriptions of Jamie's character as a mother, a human being. To that I say if this ego maniac D.A. has something else he wants to say about this case, he would have said it. All he wanted was a conviction and now he has it, bully that he is.
I suspect that Jamie has been "warned" directly or indirectly not to discuss the specifics of her sentencing by the Court, therefore her carefully written words.
As a Blogger, I can still say what appears to me as the truth.
I can only strongly speculate that Jamie was intimidated into a plea bargain by the tyrant "little' D.A., his staff of thoughtless sheep, and forced to admit guilt for "careless driving leading to the death of her children".
Although there appears to be no legal sound basis for an innocent person such as Jamie to admit guilt in this situation, it is understandable that she was forced to make this decision in order to stop the D.A. from abusing her any further with his misuse of the prosecutorial powers given his Office.
This is the circus of our corrupt legal system that picks on vulnerable, innocent victims who don't have the resources to fight back, while real criminals such as the politically connected (just ask the convicted felon, former Montrose County D.A. Myrl Serra how he manipulated the law with his "slap on the wrist conviction for heinous crimes-(CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MEDIA STORY ABOUT FORMER D.A. SERRA), and those other guilty individuals, corporations, how easy it is to win their freedom with money, power.
Now the D.A. and the people of Montrose County who have remained silent through all of this cruel torture of Jamie, can "rest easy" that their community is once again "safe" from "criminals" such as Jamie Dowling.
Shame on all of YOU. There is nothing but contempt felt by myself and many others for what you have done and allowed to happen to an American citizen on your "watch", you are cowards.
Bless you Jamie for your fortitude, courage and quest to memorialize your two children in such a loving manner!
You may never get over this, but hopefully you will get through this.

UPDATED JULY 30, 2013
Jamie Dowling has decided to plead guilty to 2 counts of careless driving resulting in death. Her sentencing by the Court will be on August 14th, 2013.
Please Keep Jamie Dowling in your thoughts on August 14th.
Posted below is the current statement by Bernadette Bifano the courageous young person who started the petition that gathered over 208,000 signatures as of today in support of dropping the absurd, cruel, and unjust charges brought by the despicable little tyrant, bully D.A., Dan Hotsenpiller.
"I am very saddened to report that Jamie has decided to plead guilty. Sentencing will be August 14. Through this whole battle Jamie has just wanted it to be over so that she may move forward.
Pleading guilty will make that happen for her. I'm feeling very let down by our Judicial system making someone feel as though they are backed into a corner and shouldn't fight back. Thank you all to the many supporters, I wish I had better news. Please keep Jamie in your thoughts on August 14th".

For myself as a Blogger who advocates on behalf of victims, it is with much regret that I am writing this update today about Jamie.
While I understand her decision to plead guilty based on the affects of the legal intimidation she has been subjected to, it is once again a travesty placed on a victim by an out of control Prosecutor who has overstepped his powers, corrupting the legal system of there being no justice served on behalf of those who are unable to fight back.
Using the scare tactics of our court system another injustice has been perpetrated on an innocent victim while real criminals go free or get "slapped" on the wrist with little or no punishment.
CLICK HERE TO READ MY PREVIOUS BLOG POSTS ABOUT THE JAMIE DOWLING CASE.
As an example, in my previous updated Blog posts about this case I examine how the former Montrose County Colorado Prosecutor (the very same Prosecutors Office that is punishing Jamie Dowling), D.A. Myrl Serra (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MEDIA STORY ABOUT FORMER D.A. SERRA) was convicted of charges that he demanded sex from three women who worked in his office during a three-year period. He also additionally pleaded guilty to a felony extortion count and a misdemeanor count of unlawful sexual contact, along with charges related to bond violations.
Despite Serra's conviction on these multiple heinous major felonies and the threat of potentially serving at least 15 years in prison, the politically "connected" former D.A. got away with no jail time served. His cronies apparently made sure special treatment was afforded this criminal slime ball by his colleagues.
I wish Jamie Dowling could've fought back, but I know from personal experience how horrible it is to be living this nightmare through the "justice system".
I hope that Jamie can get through sentencing quickly with hopefully no jail time to be served and that the Court has mercy on her .
I have to find solace in the fact that she knows there are many people thinking of her and backing her still.
We are living in a fake democracy, where there are law enforcement and legal prosecutors who despite being sworn to protect our rights of freedom according to the Constitution, have made a mockery of our court system.
These defenders of justice are criminals in their own manipulation of the laws, they wield unfettered, illegal power that violates our rights as Americans, because they know that they can.
They deliberately intimidate, abuse, and threaten the innocent, often the very vulnerable, the victims that they are supposed to protect, and instead cause them undo suffering, punishment for satisfaction of their one self ego, political, and assorted arrogance of the law can do anything it wants, whenever it wants, to whoever it wants.
Amazingly, not one time during this case has any Official of the the State of Colorado responded to the petition for Jamie Dowling against injustice signed by over 208,000 people.
It should illicit a response. There was and still is silence concerning this case of what I believe is prosecutorial abuse, at the very least certainly a miscarriage of justice.
Interestingly, I cannot find any mention in the media both in Colorado and elsewhere of anything beyond the original article describing the accident.
Fearless leaders, investigative journalism. Through this whole thing, nothing, nada, zero from any of them, complete silence.
This is the kind of a corrupt Country we live in, where innocent victims and those who seek justice, are beaten down continuously, case after case by the government and by those in charge.
Shame on all of you, those who have disgraced yourselves by your disgusting actions and those by the lack of action on your part.
You obviously have no human feelings, no conscience. I do not know how you can sleep at night.
Two different legal systems exist in our Country, one for the politically connected, the rich, Corporate America who literally get away with murder, overt criminal behavior, and fraud. The other system for the rest of us who are left to be preyed upon and destroyed by those in power.

I have to find solace in the fact that she knows there are many people thinking of her and backing her still.
Most disturbing is that Court records reflect in early June
2013, during one of Jamie's court dates, the court mandated
that Jamie not have any contact with Bernadette Bifano, the organizer
of the petition. No doubt the bully D.A. feels that he can use his power to get the Court to do whatever he pleases, including
depriving American citizens of their right to free speech.
Also, several unnamed persons familiar with the case indicated that
they were aware of intimidating scare tactics that were allegedly
inappropriately used by those in the legal system to stop any opposition
to the charges against Jamie to be reduced or dropped. I couldn’t get
anyone to agree to be quoted and identified as a
source on these allegations for their "fear of retaliation".
D.A. Dan Hotsenpiller and your involved staff, shame on you. Do you feel like a "big man", proud of yourself in what you have done, all powerful and tough Mr. Hotenspiller that you have defeated by intimidation an innocent victim, a mother whose two children were killed in an accident that was beyond her control?
You have "saved" the citizens of Montrose County from a dangerous criminal such as Jamie Dowling. In the process, you have abused all the powers of your Office, demeaned yourself, your staff, and demonstrated that you are an evil, cruel, heartless, soulless, sub human who has no sense of what the word justice means.
If this is an example of how you claim to "clean up" the horrific criminal mess in the Montrose County Prosecutors office left by your convicted felon former D.A. colleague D.A. Myrl Serra, you are terribly confused.
You are at least obligated morally, ethically to make certain that Jamie Dowling is not to serve any time in jail when she is sentenced. She certainly deserves the same "understanding" by your Office that the Court showed your convicted felon former D.A. Serra. Surely you can show us all a signal that as a parent, an officer of the law that there is some slight understanding on your part that this woman has been tortured enough, without you adding even more onto her lifetime of misery.
I'm writing today's blog because I want people to have an example, once again as in many of my other blog posts, of just how corrupt our legal system is.

by contacting the investigative/other journalists at the largest
Newspaper in Colorado, the Denver Post and the local Montrose Daily
Press (see below).
Wake them up! Ask them to investigate her case, have them publicize the actions of the legal system, and tell them to stand up for Americans.

Bernadette BifanoApril 24, 2013 at 11:20 AMThank you for sharing Jamie's story. I completely agree that the only way to stop gross overuse of political strongarm is to stand together and fight injustices such as this.ReplyDelete
Hi Bernadette- Let me know if there is anything else that I can do to assist you and Jamie. This Prosecutor has gone far beyond his powers and he is out of control. Surely he has more important real criminals to spend his time punishing. My blog post about Jaime has had over 1500 people so far read about the injustice against her and hopefully that will translate into more signatures on your petition. Bad publicity is something your Governor does not want and he will hopefully force the prosecutor to drop his injust case against Jaime.ReplyDelete
AnonymousApril 30, 2013 at 11:11 AMMay our Lord watch over Jamie and protect her. She has endured a fate worse than anything that prosecutor can give her. Please, let her morn her children's death - and leave her alone Mr. Prosecutor.ReplyDelete
- I agree with you fully, the Prosecutor should leave Jaymie alone as he is simply persecuting her for no real crime. She will suffer for the rest of her life without her 2 cherished children and for what possible rational reason does any human being want to cause her more pain than she already has? It amazes me that the Governor has not yet ordered the prosecutor to completely drop the charges against Jamie. It appears that no one in charge has a heart or a soul, or compassion to STOP their cruelty towards this poor mother. Let her children Rest IN Peace, let this family mourn in peace.Delete
- This DA has is totally out of control with his abusing the powers that have been given him. He was obviously looking to make "an example of Jaymie" in only ways that a power hungry, scum bag , sub human with no soul can think. The fact that he still has not withdrawn the phony legal charges against her despite the overwhelming bad publicity he has brought on himself, speaks volumes of how corrupt, out of touch, and simply focused on his career so he can show how "tough" he is. Do the people of Colorado actually want a piece of toxic waste like him to represent them for anything? He thinks they do, otherwise his behavior would be that of a normal human being instead of his bein a bully who picks on a suffering, innocent mother.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 2, 2013 at 5:04 AMAnother perfect example of how corrupt the American judicial system has become. Its as if the law makers and enforcers make the rules up as they go along.ReplyDelete
Now this poor mother will not only be devastated by grief loss and guilt but be faced with a possible jail sentence that she doesnt deserve. i have been following this story for some time now i was sent a petition in my email and signed it. I couldnt believe what i was reading! sending a young mom to jail for something that was beyond her control. This situation could happen to anyone. I cant believe there are some people who agree with this monster of a DA saying she should not have been out in bad weather for god sakes she was a nurse an we all know that even when conditions are bad nurses and doctors are the ones who are still expected to show up for work. What about the car who hit her? isnt anyone questioning the fact they were on the road during bad weather as well? I remember driving as a young mom during a few very bad winters kids in the car worried of course how safe the roads were but knowing the difference between me staying home and going out to work could mean not having money to keep a roof over my kids heads no land lord wants to hear you missed work because of snow etc therefore you have no rent money! Its not like this mom was out for a leisure drive or to go cop drugs or some other scenario. - Anonymous-May 2- You are absolutely correct. Here is a nurse who had relocated to Colorado only 2 weeks before the accident. Yes, that is all it was, a horrible, tragic accident that was no fault of hers,completely beyond her control.Yes she probably had limited snow driving experience and there is little a driver can do when skidding on ice as what happened to her. When you 1st read this story, it is not believable that this D.A. who has 4 children of his own, would actually file criminal charges against her. What we have now in America are "unbelievable things" and heartless sub humans who have no idea how to show compassion. This D.A. clearly is looking to make " a name" for himself by bullying her as the victim. He only cares about keeping his job and getting promoted. Power & arrogance has corrupted his mind and now that his evil has been shown, he hides, hoping the public anger at him will go away. Those that agree with him are just those who think they are superior to the rest of us and think this could never happen to them. Bottom line, if the former Montrose D.A. was treated so softly for his heinous crimes and let go, why is Jaime being tortured by this very same office. It is because in America we now have a corrupt legal system where it oly matters who you know, how politically connected a person is to escape from justice for your crimes. The rest of us are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by Prosecutors who have over-reached their power and are part of this legal corruption, where the guilty go free and innocent victims become the ones who get punished. This disconnect between equal justice for all is an epidemic in America and no -one in power seems to care, as they are protected. Hopefully, we can give so much bad publicity to this D.A. and the Governor of Colorado that they will withdraw the charges against Jaime because they see it will ruin their political reputations.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 11, 2013 at 7:03 PMIm glad people like you and bernadette still exist in this corrupt world. Keep fighting the good fight. I signed the petition as well. Some one should start a petition to the gov of CO to remove this D.a. from office. i hope these charges are dropped soon so this poor mother can have some peace.ReplyDelete
- Thank you for your kind words of support. Yes we live in a corrupt world.You can also help fight back by spreading the news about our fight for justice to be given to Jaime. Tell people you know and ask them to also sign the petition as the more people who protest the harder it is for these corrupt politicians to ignore us as they don't want bad publicity for themselves. By the way the petition is also being sent to the Governor of Colorado in addition to the D.A.Delete
- AnonymousMay 23, 2013 at 4:42 PMAll earlier reports are filed as no charges filed. Can you post the public filing of charges to verify this and I will happily sign petitions against her prosicution.ReplyDelete
- Here is one of many official links showing that Jaime was charged by the D.A. with with careless driving causing death and no proof of insurance.ReplyDelete
http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Mother-Charged-in-Fatal-Colorado-Wreck-That-Killed-Children-197678541.html
"The mother of two children who were killed in a car crash in Colorado over the weekend has been charged in the wreck.
Jamie Dowling, 22, is charged with careless driving causing death and no proof of insurance.
Her children, 5-year-old Landryn Scott and 2-year-old Rayleigh Kay, were killed in the crash east of Gunnison, Colo., on Saturday morning.
The Colorado State Patrol said at the time of the crash that Dowling's vehicle was struck by another vehicle after she spun out of control on snow-packed U.S. 50.
Both children were wearing seat belts.
Dowling had recently moved to Colorado for a new job, her family said.
Dowling, who Colorado troopers said was not wearing a seat belt, sustained serious injuries in the crash." - AnonymousMay 27, 2013 at 1:46 AMok so let me see if i got this straight. she moved from Irving Texas (where we do not see much snow on any given year) to CO where it snows like crazy. she then opted to drive somewhere in snow which was falling deep enough that it had to be plowed even though she wasnt experienced in driving in the snow. she opted for taking the children with her...in the snow that she couldn't drive in. that sounds like she was irresponsible. if people who live in CO were having problems driving, why was she out? she wasnt wearing a seatbelt (which is illegal) and did not have proof of insurance (which is also illegal) in the car with her. how is it corruption when she was breaking the law and carelessly risking the life of her children? i agree it's sad what happened to the babies, but if there's flash flooding out where i live, im not gonna strap my kids into the car and go out driving in it.ReplyDelete
- We don't know where she was driving that day so there is no way to determine how important it was for her to be on the road. For you to assume that she was somehow irresponsible by driving that day is not for any of us to judge. The roads were open and not closed, driving was permitted. The two children were both wearing a seat belt and the fact that she was not wearing a seat belt is an extremely minor offense, and probably saved her life. Not having proof of insurance does not mean she did not have insurance, also an extremely minor offense. I am glad that you agree that her losing both of her babies due to this ACCIDENT is sad. Corruption on the D.A's office part is that the former D.A. of that same County raped numerous employees in his office, extorted employees and defendants, lied before a grand jury and committed numerous other major felonies in misusing the power of his Office. He was found guilty by a jury and the judge with the special prosecutor gave him a slap on the wrist for his heinous crimes. He served almost no time in jail. The corruption and arrogance of the Law and the current D.A. is that they have over reached their powers and distorted the word justice in Jaime's case because she is just a "regular" person and not a politically connected scumbag. The current D.A. shows us once again that in America, we have a corrupt, dysfunctional legal system designed so that there are 2 sets of laws , one for the rich/politically connected who get off free, and another for the rest of us who are harassed to the fullest by the out of control ego and power of these "little' D.A maggots. What happened that day to Jaime was an accident, the 2 laws she allegedly violated of her not wearing a seat belt, not having proof of a drivers license were extremely minor and at most are only worthy of a summons ticket she can pay out of court. Those charges have nothing to do with the accident that caused the children to die. The charge of alleged careless driving causing death is a total bull shit accusation, unbelievably unethical, illegal, cruel, not provable charge because people skid on ice on ice all the time and the car cannot be controlled. It is not your business or the D.A. as to what she was doing being out on the road that day since the roads were open and not declared closed. For any one in a Prosecutors office to waste their time and taxpayers money on torturing this grieving mother, is not only inappropriate, but shows a moral, legally corrupt, heartless mind of a dumb, moron fool who "gets off" on using his office to intimidate people. This D.A. who was not elected by the people and appointed to replace the prior felon D.A. was charged by the Governor with cleaning up the cesspool that the Prosecutors office had become. He certainly has better things to do in fixing that office, a limited budget and real criminals to prosecute instead of picking on Jaime. If it were his children and his wife or someone in his office, you KNOW that NO charges would have been pressed because his office would have treated them differently. This D.A. is a disgrace and our Court system is corrupt to its rotten core.JerryReplyDelete

at the same time, who are you to judge on if she wasn't irresponsible? it disturbs me a bit to see how you downplay her "minor" offenses in breaking the law. is not wearing your seatbelt as bad as murdering 20 people? no, but it's still breaking the law. is not having your insurance card in the car as bad as setting fire to a daycare? no, but it is still breaking the law. how did not wearing her belt save her life? are you suggesting that if the babies hadn't been buckled in that they would have survived? the legal system is not corrupt, it is the ones who twist it to their own purposes. she broke the law and put herself and her children in harms way risking their lives. Texas is not known for it's snowfall and we Texans generally never drive in it. any defensive driving class you take (i take them once every 2 years to help lower my insurance rates) will tell you not to drive it weather conditions are too bad for you to handle. after a week of living in Co there is no way she was used to driving in the snow. if there's a tornado touchdown near my house i am not going to load my babies in the car to go for a drive. - The only thing that you said in your that makes any sense is "that it is is the ones who twist it for their own purposes". That is what corruption of the law and the legal system in America is all about. If you paid any attention to how the previous D.A. of that same county who was convicted as a rapist, extortionist, perjurer got away with manipulating the system to escape with a slap on the wrist, no justice for him. His victims are regular folks like Jaime & never get such gentle treatment. Look all over our Country how those who are politically connected and/or rich manipulate the legal system to escape justice by using their hordes of high powered, expensive lawyers. Look in your own State of Texas where a corrupt D.A. from Cameron County- District Attorney Armanda Villalobos was just convicted along with a corrupt Judge for accepting bribes and 7 felony counts of bribery etc. to fix cases if Lawyers paid him and the Judge bribes. I will say it again- She broke no major laws and yes her offenses are minor, easily handled by paying a summons. There is no excuse for your lack of compassion and judging this mother as putting her kids in harms way. It was an accident and if the Colorado D.A. showed a tiny bit of the same concern that he showed for the previous D.A. this woman should have paid her fine and be left to grieve. You have no idea what it is like to lose a child, I do. You have no idea what it's like to lose 2 children. You do not know how to drive in snow as you said, I do. People who move to areas with snow have little experience in driving in snow, but they have to drive. She skidded on ice, have you ever tried to control a skid in the ice, you can't, it's an accident. We all drive in snow all the time because if the roads are open we drive to survive in making a living, taking our kids to school, day care and going to to do our chores. It is normal to drive in the snow. The point is that when a Govt. that is supposed to protect it's citizens has 2 different sets of laws for the rich/politically connected and the rest of us, it means that we are living in a corrupt society, with a crooked legal system and if you can't figure that out by now, then there is nothing else to say .ReplyDelete
- Indiohorse16May 28, 2013 at 9:54 PMI think maybe anonymous has missed the whole point of the blog! I wonder if they at 20 with the responsibility of 2 children and the prospect of starting a new life for herself and children would have had the guts to start out alone. Our Mom had no idea of what the weather was going to be when she started and now for all her effort her life has been crushed never to be the same, maybe a little sympathy instead of being so judgemental. Shame on anonymous!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 7, 2013 at 12:45 PMI don't know Jamie, but how do we know she can't drive in the snow? Did she say that? I live in SC, but I lived in WI for 5 years, so I can drive very well in the snow. We can't assume she never drove in heavy snow, unless she stated that. If she really had no experience driving in heavy snow, then I'd have to conclude it was risky to take her kids out in it. Does that constitute negligence? Does that mean we can reasonably assume she understood the risk? I don't think so. The criminal justice system is rife with fraud and corruption. DA only care about convictions not justice. This woman paid the ultimate penalty for her bad judgment. I see no reason the law needs to be involved anymore. Pay her fine and let her grieve. Her life has been ripped apart. I am astounded that people really care about her not having her insurance card. There are so many laws today, that one can't keep track of them and to say the law is the law and she broke it, is a mindset I wish to be removed from.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous June 7th- I agree-Let her pay the fine and leave her alone to grieve. Certainly the D.A. has better things to do with his time, his staff and his budget in going after real criminals who are on the loose in that County. That he has still not withdrawn the charges against her is mind boggling and speaks to how arrogantly cruel he is. If it were his own family or a politically connected, rich person, you know this case would never have been even started. Jamie is a vulnerable "regular" person who can't fight back, so the D.A. bully's her with his power. Such a small tyrant he is, a disgrace to our Country, and a symbol of how screwed up the U.S. has become when it comes to the dysfunctional legal system that harasses innocent people while letting the evil, guilty ones go relatively unpunished.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 1, 2013 at 5:16 PMI do agree that it is a tragic event and I am terribly sorry that this woman lost her children. However, I do not believe that all the facts were reported to the media or possibly the media reported incorrectly. The DA is basing the charges filed on the accident report that the Colorado State Patrol would have completed. She was the driver of the vehicle that lost control when those two children died. With the exception of the big mountain passes, roads in the area are very rarely closed and as well maintained as possible by the state highway department. She was in control of that vehicle that day and therefore (as hard as it may seem)responsible for the events that took place. I'm sure that the DA does not "get off" on charging this woman. Unfortunately there has to be some action taken and I'm sure that the incident was thoroughly investigated prior to charges being filed. I understand that there are corrupt people in this world who should not have power but, just because Myrl Serra was a scumbag does not mean that Dan Hotsenpiller will follow in his footsteps. He has a responsibility to determine whether there was enough evidence to charge the person involved and he felt that there was. If the evidence wasn't substantial enough to match the charges filed, she never would have been charged.ReplyDelete
- I understand your comments and thoughts about the D.A. Hotsenpiller. I disagree with your trusting the legal system in such a way that anyone can simply assume that this D.A. has the necessary legal proof that is "substantial enough to match the charges filed". There has been almost no info about the facts of this revealed other than that Jamie Dowling was not drunk or on drugs at the time of the accident as per the investigating officer, was not speeding as per the black box in her car, that she skidded on ice, and did not have an insurance ID card with her. There is no evidence revealed that this was anything more than a tragic accident that could have happened to anyone. To date we see no evidence of the charges "careless driving". What we do see and alleged , is that the D.A. has abused his powers in intimidating Jamie Dowling by fear tactics and that he has also done the same to others who have come to her defense. There is much that this D.A. has done in abusing his powers that has not been publicized due to fear of others that he will retaliate against them. He has wide discretionary powers to have withdrawn the charges against Jamie and issue her a summons instead. he has elected to not use this more just approach and instead has bullied her. So yes, I believe this D.A. "gets off" on picking poor, vulnerable victims to torture, is arrogant, unfair, disturbed, confused and that his own legal judgement is impaired based on his actions. He can still show some humanity by asking that she be sentenced to no time in prison. This woman has lost 2 children and there is no legal reason to cause her any more agony.ReplyDelete

"I am very saddened to report that Jamie has decided to plead guilty. Sentencing will be August 14. Through this whole battle Jamie has just wanted it to be over so that she may move forward. Pleading guilty will make that happen for her. I'm feeling very let down by our Judicial system making someone feel as though they are backed into a corner and shouldn't fight back. Thank you all to the many supporters, I wish I had better news. Please keep Jamie in your thoughts on August 14th."
The Seventh Judicial District is known as the most corrupt judicial system in Colorado. Think Dukes of Hazard on acid. The last D.A. (Myrl Serra) was arrested and charged for a series of sex crimes and the Governor just replaced him with an equally corrupt buddy, Dan Hostenpiller. For more information on the corruption I suggest checking out August Wheats' book, "Exodus of Angels". BTW, this man is an elected D.A. so remember this when planning a vacation to Southwest Colorado - I agree. It certainly appears based on the actions of the current Montrose County D.A., the criminal actions of the convicted felon D.A. and the Seventh Judicial Districts handling of that case and the Dowling case, that this is dysfunctional, "ole boy" corrupt system. Nothing else can explain their behavior and arrogance that has been exhibited by them. Unfortunately, we see this kind of corruption, abuse, and manipulation of the legal system more than ever before in America, as our Country's court system, prosecutors, politicians have devolved into the behavior of Americans losing their freedoms that were supposed to be guaranteed under the Constitution. We have had for years an erosion of our freedom so that the arrogance of the law does whatever it wants, to whoever it want, and fears nothing that gets in its way, because they can get away with anything they do or don't do.ReplyDelete
