(pg.3) http://www.wluctv6.com/ enter Dabb in the search box. Feb. 2009: The Michigan court of Appeals overturned Dabbs
conviction and refused the states request for an appeal. The prosecutor stated that there office and the Attorney
Generals office were extremely disappointed. The Dickinson Co. prosecutors office then said that they didn't want to
re-try the case out of sympathy for one of the victims. The truth of the matter is the victim (who's parents testified was
lying) was too scared to continue the lies in a re-trial and the Judge that manipulated the trial is afraid that all of his
past decisions would come into question, as they should.

Re-trial ordered in sex case:
IRON MOUNTAIN -- A Norway man who was convicted of sexually assaulting a child last year will be getting a new trial.
The Michigan Court of Appeals Wednesday reversed the decision against
62-year-old Wayne Dabb.
The Court ruled that the Dickinson County Circuit
Court improperly excluded evidence with regard to the rape shield law. The rape shield law limits a suspects ability to cross-examine
an alleged victim about her or his past sexual behavior.
In Dabb's April
2006 trial, his attorney wanted to introduce evidence about the alleged victim's prior behavior--namely, that the victim,
himself, had been caught allegedly abusing another child. That evidence was not allowed.
Dabb was ultimately convicted on four counts of second degree criminal sexual conduct. He was sentenced to
four years and nine months in prison.

What happened to the days that
actual proof was required before charges could be brought against a person? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?
Today, an alleged victim just has to utter the accusation and back it up with some imaginary
events and the person being accused will have their lives and reputation tied up for years in an attempt to clear his/her
name.
The fact that the alleged victim says she consented and encouraged
it, should send a red flag to anyone involved with the case. I will never condone an adult putting their hands on a child,
but this very attitude should be probed further, before the case was even brought. What was she consenting to exactly? How
did she encourage it? Has there been any problems at home or school lately? Are there any witnesses? Why is she reporting
it now? These are just a few questions that come to mind for me.
To make
matters worse, I have seen cases where it is common knowledge the alleged victim has had relationships and where the alleged
victim admits, on the stand, to having boyfriends but because of the Rape Shield Law that sexual activity is off limits.
Of course, as parents, we do everything possible to ensure no harm comes to our children and
that our children receive the best advice possible to promote abstinence, but they cannot be watched every minute of every
day. We were all teens once and we do know how that works.
At the same time,
the evidence presented in the same matter I am speaking of did not include any DNA to identify the actual partner or when
the acts began. Everything relied on the word of the adolescent child.
In
some cases the truth comes to light and a judge or jury realizes that the case is not about the alleged abuse. The adolescent
child, in some cases, has used the legal system to punish their own parent or parent figure--the alleged victim didn't accept
the rules of the household, the defendant disappointed the accuser in some way or they just wanted attention. Whether the
alleged victim was upset about something or not--these kinds of injustices must stop.
Regardless of what I say here, I stand beside the true victims of abuse or violence. At the same time, I cannot ignore
the injustice being done by some.

Court appointed Attorney means exactly that. They are working
for the court. I (paid) for the same attorney that Dabb had. Even then he could only do what the judge (lead by the nose by
the prosecutors office) HAD to allow him. http://www.bewareofmichigan.com/

It
is women like you and I that should be running for office. I had a similar situation happen in my family and it tore us apart.
I have relatives near your area that informed me about the case and told me to visit this website and see what people were
saying. In our situation some believed he was guilty some didn't. He was found not guilty by jury trial unlike your situation.
My heart goes out to you and the Dabb family. I can tell by your writings that you truly believe he is not guilty. Stand by
him he needs your support. Its these small town folks that get a little power in the justice system and run with it. They
don't care who's guilty and who's not they just want to make any bad situation look good for them. You are in my thoughts
and Prayers.

Well since some people are not completely understanding
where I am coming from let me clarify just a bit. Let me tell you about these two minors that were supposedly raped. The boy
at the trial was 14 years old. And at 14 years old he was caught breaking and entering into an elderly womens home, stole
priceless posessions. Also took the womens credit card and went online to review adult content. Also the boy was suspected
of setting a fire at his own school also when they searched his locker found numerous adult magazines. After that he was caught
stealing $2500 approx.. from a local retailer. After his was found not only molesting his little sister, but also his three
year old cousin, and asked why he was doing it did he say that Wayne Dabb was to blame. Why did he do that?? Well because
each one of these times that he got in trouble in the past he blamed it on someone else and got away with it. The jury was
not aloud to know any of this. Yes the girl was molested by her biological father and when pressured by her brother told the
cops wayne was to blame. They said these things happened at the daycare and his daughter and wife sat and watched... well
then why were they never called to the stand. They said he showed them things on the computer. Well why was the computer never
taken from there home and checked for such things. Why in 30 years of this man driving a school bus, charter bus, dealing
with Little League baseball, and his wife having a daycare did no other parents and or children come forward and say he was
abusing them also. Sexual Predators do not just come out one day and say hey I think I want to touch a child. It happens many
times over many years. He would have plenty of opportunities and not once has anyone ever heard of such a thing. Numerous
amount of letters were written to the judge on what an outstanding man Wayne Dabb was and what a great addition to this community
he is. Wayne Dabbs court appointed lawyer would be the first to tell you he did not do his job. Wayne did not get a fair trial
and when it comes back to court and he is found not guilty all of you people that are doubting will know the truth. The truth
that was not aloud in the first trial. Due to the fact that if the DA didn't falsely put all the children's past discrepancies
under the Rape Shield Law all of this would have been known. And soon with this new trial it will all be known. The news papers
and TV6 have been doing a great job reporting the truth behind it all. Thank you to everyone supporting him and his family.
And everyone that is not soon you will know the truth and it wont matter.
Response for Sarah Hood's Comments. Injustice in Dickenson County
Posted by Maureen Guzek, Ontonagon, Michigan - Thursday, December 06, 2007 at 3:39 p.m.
This trial was one of the greatest injustices I have seen in U.P. history. An innocent man was rail roaded by a court
appointed attorney that didn't do his job and a judge that was looking for votes - how sad it is, that life can be taken from
an innocent person for the total gain of another - and everyone looks the other way.

In Response to the message about having a Harsher punishment I could not agree with you more. Sex offenders that
have raped and molested children should in my thoughts be shot. But since you are not from this area or I am sure know the
whole story or know anything about the Dabb family you really shouldn't say much. This man was wrongfully accused. These kids
lied to get themselves out of trouble. So please read into the facts before you judge someone you know nothing about. If you
would have been there in the first five minutes of his trial you would have known there was no such thing as "fair"
trial. I will say it again and again "THIS MAN IS NOT GUILTY." Wrongfully Accused
Posted by Sarah Hood, 516 West F Street - Wednesday, December 05, 2007 at 9:28 p.m.
My name is Sarah. I have know Wayne Dabb for 6+ years. I also worked
at the Daycare in which the kids proclaimed that these incidents happened. First off the trial was a complete disaster. Wayne
got a court appointed lawyer due to lack of funding and the lawyer did nothing on his behalf. No witnesses were called on
Wayne's behalf, they were not aloud to bring up the children's past. Which yes they were saying the kids were molested, and
YES they were. What they got wrong was the fact that it wasn't by Wayne but by a man that was already convicted of it and
sentenced to jail time along with other issues I am sure will be brought out at the trial. But they were not aloud to say
that in court. Nor were they aloud to bring up the children's past wrongful doings. Which believe me the list on that can
go on and on. The children also claimed that two other kids were also molested at the same time. Why weren't they on the stand?.
Well let me tell you.. the District Attorney never called them to the stand because they would have got up there and told
the truth that everything these two kids were saying was a lie. I believe that the jury would have hands down found him not
guilty had they know the whole story. I worked at that Daycare for three years and never did I see Wayne even come to that
side of the house unless he was getting the newspaper. I think the Justice System in Dickinson County is a disgrace to this
community. And will stand proudly to tell who ever will listen. I cant wait for the retrial so that everyone can hear the
true story. These two kids to get out of their own troubles caused this man and his entire family more pain then anyone can
imagine. I hope you will be there to witness it for yourself!
Thank you,
Sarah Hood
Comment: The prosecutor in this case, Christopher S. Ninomiya, is the same DA that was in office when State Police officer
Kevin Provost and Mrs. Christian, conspired against me. Ninomiya is a Judge now!. I guess he was
so good at hiring people like himself, "scum bags like Lisa Israel and Carl Downing" who are so capable of
leading the Judges around by the nose, lying, cheating, withholding information, conspiring with the bad guys and manipulating
juries, with the Judges not having to do much jury tampering on there own and/or work, that the Judges arranged for him to
be one of them. I bet he will be even rougher on the innocent people that won't plea-bargain away there innocence
as Judge Mary Brouillette Barglind is.
(pg.1) Randy Colbry; That hard nosed prosecutor that promised to get the drunks off the roads and make them wish they had
never been born. Well that was the sick little sewer rats platform to get elected prosecutor just in time to fix a trial
with his partner in crime the honorable Judge Gerald Lostracco, (pg.20) getting the Judges wife's drug dealer acquitted of murdering an informant that
was working with the state police trying to get the goods on the Judge and his wife. On or about Tuesday, July 7Th,
2009: Following his daily routine, the great Randy Colbry gets out of bed, drives the usual ten miles to the court house
(which is less than 3 blocks from his house) drinking his breakfast on his way to work. This is in the early afternoon,
not unusual for Randy to get up so late in the day after drinking himself to sleep. Although he is known for running
off the road quit often, running stop signs and landing in the ditch every so often. This day was a little different. Randy
cruises through the stop sign at one of the most dangerous state highways in the state, M21. He broadsides a convertible
and flees the scene at speeds of 80 mph. according to a eye witness who called 911. The people in the convertible survived
thanks to that call. The witness chased Colbry for several minutes before a Shiawassee county sheriffs deputy could catch
up and get Colbry to stop, as the officer approached Colbrys car, Colbry tried to take off again but the officer manged to
pull him from his car. The witness stated that the deputy walked Colbry back to the patrol car and talked with him before
putting him inside the police car without hand cuffs. "I thought that was pretty weird...If it had been you or me, we
would be in cuffs," said the witness. That little talk the deputy had with Colbry was Colbry refusing a preliminary Breathalyzer
test. The creep puts the cops lives in danger in the high speed pursuit and the public in even greater danger but that's OK
with the cops, after all Colbry is the prosecutor that has always been there for them, Lying, Cheating, Manipulating and withholding
evidence, whatever it takes to save there cases of lying, cheating, manipulating and withholding evidence. Now comes
the beginning of the cover-up, a Shiawassee County Commissioner, the perverted, deranged sicko, Gerald Cole, starts off
insinuating that the witness is a liar spreading rumors, saying he isn't jumping to any conclusions about Colbry's involvement.
"We don't know how much of this is true yet, maybe it's not as bad as the rumors". Colbry and Cole are finally being
recalled. All Cole had to say about it, is, "I don't think the public would understand the ethics issue at all".
( http://soundsofshiawassee.org/ ). Sheriff George Braidwood said that while this type of case is rare, Colbry received no special treatment from his department.
The witness name is William Gibson, 30 years old from Perry Mi. I want this known for the very fact that I know all too well
how witness's are dealt with in this state.
JAN. 07/08: I was on the phone when I was alerted to an incoming call on
call waiting. It was the 911 operator stating that someone from my phone # had just called 911 and hung up. I told the lady
that I had been on my computer all morning and that I was on a call when she called. The lady said it must have been a computer
glitch and after determining that there was no one else at my home hung up. While I was talking to the 911 lady I saw a State
police car at the end of the block. With-in seconds the state police car was at my home. I went to a window about 8 feet
from my door and saw officer Kevin Provost getting out of the patrol car Loosening his side arm in it's holster as he approached
my door. Knowing that I did not call 911 and Provost being a rogue cop that had made it known that he is involved
with a Mexican drug dealer (Officer Corona) I called 911 and told the lady that Provost was at my door. The same 911
operator that had called me. She explained that they had to send a officer to all 911 hang ups. I asked her to stay on the
line while I talked out the window to Provost. She said she would. I asked Provost If I could help him. (Provost) " Will
you open the door? I want to ask you some questions. (me) " I'm not going to open the door to you I have the 911 operator
on the phone would you like me to tell her anything? (Provost) " No I just want you to open the door so I can ask you
some questions". (me) I'm not going to open the door why can't you ask me from here? (Provost) I want to get out of the
rain". (me) Well I'm not going to open the door for you". Provost then asked my name and wrote it down and left.
I was holding the phone so the operator could hear everything and then told her he left , Thanked her and hung up.
I knew I didn't call 911 and
that the police use that as a means to come to homes without warrants when there up to no good and certainly not for
anything legitimate when they don't even mention 911. If it's legal they respond to hang ups and call for back-up if the people
won't open the door for them which I totally agree with. There's an awning over my door, Provost was not getting wet,
his only concern was for me to open my door. The fact that he never mentioned a 911 call, was not getting wet, what I've put
on this site and his involvement with officer Corona told me if I opened the door to him he would have shot me and easily
lie his way through it. After he left I called the F.B.I. office in Marquette and told the agent about Provost and that I
didn't call 911. He said he would check into it and that I could feel safe because Provost would know that the F.B.I. was
aware of the matter and was checking into it. The next day the agent said that he talked to the Iron Mountain St. police and
they said that they had two calls to 911 from my phone, I asked him if he actually saw the reports. He said no but that he
worked with those officers and he could take there word for everything. He then went on to say that they said that I had mental
problems and that they had had a lot of problems with me. From past experience I know that this is the way the police and
gov. handle the news media when there planing a cover-up. The police will make a deal with someone that they can send to prison
for a long time making them lie so the police can raid my home and kill me and report to the press that I was some nut that
they had a lot of problems with and they had to use deadly force. The Marquette agent also told me to call the Michigan St.
police internal affairs, which I did for the forth time in 3 years. The internal affairs guy said were not going to do an
investigation on anything, you've called here before and were not going to look into any of it. This is typical of every Mi.
St. agency that is supposed to control anything from complaints on Dr.s pushing drugs to dirty cops, there only real function
is to protect all state employees and professionals from getting busted and ratting on each other.
(pg.6) STUDENT EXPELLED FROM NORTH DICKINSON SCHOOL IRON MOUNTAIN; The North Dickinson
County School Board of Education has permanently expelled a 19-year-old male student. Following a hearing at Monday night's
board meeting, the board voted to expel Michael Lee Steppig of Sagola from the school district for harassment and sexual harassment,
said Superintendent Claude Siders. Steppig did not appear at the expulsion hearing, Siders said. Steppig is also facing a
charge of Larceny in Dickinson County Circuit Court. It is alleged that on Oct. 11, 2007, Steppig entered the North Dickinson
School office and removed money from a cash box.
Now I'm worried the Judge that
handles this will make Steppig work with the police to avoid jail time (make him lie to set me up) like his father did with
officer Provost.
(pg.1,GITMO) Michigan Governor Granholm now wants the prisoners in Cuba to be transferred to
Michigan. The U.S. government wants it so the prisoners can be tortured far beyond water-boarding and just as far beyond international
law and Geneva convention rules of war as Michigan is... Once here in the U.S. where news of torture and murder can't get
out to the rest of the world they will be dealt with the same as U.S. citizens that try getting dirty cops, judges and prosecutors
busted. (12)
