Its true because I defended a case once for a man arrested of murder 1 & while we were together officers had harrassed him a few times & we was together only a month & a half. During one of them times I had heard the officers state the fact that he was incarcerated the time of this person death but they still felt he had knowledge & what they were really after was not so much about the girl either. They threaten & later incarcerate him under charges of murder in the 1st degree for this girl’s death. I am sitting there watching the news & by what they stated they had as evidence on T.V., I already knew something was not right because it was changed. I went fighting this case & later beat it but come to find out, David Prater himself needed this case for elections & to look like he caught the killer of Carina Saunders. I had shown all the way up to him that this evidence was fake & the officers miscondunct. They still held him in jail & thats with them all having knowledge. Then the lawyer on his case, Derek Chance, told me to chill out because they could not let him out until after elections. Its true they eventually dropped charges but by then it was becoming news that Luis Ruiz had been incarcerated on those dates & the police knew this too. They all of sudden act as if they find the records & next thing I know they firing those 2 police but with pay of course & this as the OSBI picks it up. Thing is that I know also, for a fact, that the D.A’s office had become aware of the information forged on that signed warrent to be false as well, but yet they were going to continue prosicuting that man anyways. Pretty sure when he decided to drop case & fire those 2 officers with paid leave still.., it was because it stopped that heat ever coming to him & made him more of a hero. Otherwise he was going to be a hero by catching that killer & putting an innocent man in prison on evidence that was not even real. What throws me off is the fact that its all about politics & meeting some standard that brings them a bigger paycheck.
The reason why they always walk away with no consequences, & likely even a leave with pay, is because its all a hoax & he took part in all of it & so he has to look good firing them & exposing them..because they were caught.! But he is not going to give them charges like a punishment because he likely had them doing it & he does run that office doesn’t he? It did not start & end with them & what motive do they have as much as he does. Trust me that I had an awakening on what these government officials here in Oklahoma County are really about & that was the biggest turn around in my life.
