I’m guessing ommitting Democrat Paul Howard was an oversight?

Back in 2003 Nicole Perry-Owens sat by her husband’s side as assistant states attorney, Troy Owens being the states attorney. Nicole was running for states attorney and needed to find a way to look good to the public. Numerous cases of falsely accused citizens, missing evidence in cases, strong arming the jury are just a few of the occurances that were popping up in Boone County and later McHenry County. Most would be convicted and later be set free after their appeal.

One case in Boone County hit somewhat close to home. In 2003, a family friend’s son was charged with 4 counts ranging from sexual assualt with and without a weapon. Christopher Njos, only 16 at the time, wasnt even given his Miranda rights. The whole trial was nothing but really good acting, lies, and keeping the defense from saying much to anything at all. No DNA evidence was used, no fingerprints taken, and although 3 rape tests were done….the first 2 came back negative and the 3rd wasnt done till 6 months later and was found to have semen…but whose semen was it? Troy Owens was seen going into the room where the jury was congregating at….that is illegal! I was threatened with a class 2 Felony by a Boone County police officer because I put the words “We will fight for a fair trial for Christopher Njos” on my vehicle’s window before coming to the trial once. I just wanted someone to hear his family’s side. I did know the victim and her family too and had to walk out of the court room on more than one occassion because I couldnt believe what I was hearing. Anytime anyone on Chris’ defense took the stand, they were shut down right away. Cops lied for Nicole Owens. Christopher was sentenced to 58 years in prison on charges never proven in court. The family did not find out till after Chris was in prison, that his lawyer started his appeal but never finished. Everyone thinks DiCaprio, amongst others were involved in Owens’ political scam to get elected as States Attorney. At the same time, the family found out that DiCaprio wasnt even a criminal defense attorney….he merely did wills and testaments. Later DiCaprio was disbarred for a different case, and a year or two later, passed away of cancer.

Nichole Owens did not get States Attorney, and very soon after both her and her husband took off to McHenry County and have been doing more wrong doings there. Why Troy left too boggles me, he had the job already….

My concern here is that we have tried to hire numerous lawyers to help us get Chris his appeal and everytime we get our hopes up…they get let down again.

Chris is 6 hours away from his mom and has sent out requests for transfers many times, all to be turned down. His mom was recently in a car accident, crushing her right foot. She has absolutely no way to even visit him now, if ever. Still the transfers get rejected. Troy Owens had Chris red-flagged causing nothing more than pouring salt into open wounds, only to cover their tracks of corruption.

Dan Cane, a well known attorney in our area offered to do his case pro bono, only to later say there was nothing he could do. Chris cant even get his transcripts. Im not sure if there is anything we can do to get his legal right to his appeal…but I wont stop trying!

If you google Nichole Owens corruption, you will find multiple cases similar to Christopher’s. Most are already out of prison, and some took the plea bargain, just so they could go home again. Living life with a record, is better than no life in prison, right?

Any kind of legal advice in this situation would be greatly appreciated. My hopes right now is that Nicole gets charged for all her illeagal activities in the court room….and maybe, just maybe then we could have that opening to get Chris his right to that appeal.

Thank you for your time!

The former District Attorney of Dallas was allegedly proud of saying that any prosecutor could convict a guilty man, but that it took a real pro to convict an innocent man.

The actual quote is, Prosecutors in Dallas have said for years – any prosecutor can convict a guilty man. It takes a great prosecutor to convict an innocent man.

More importantly, it is a line from a MOVIE! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096257/quotes

There is zero evidence that anyone in that DA’s office ever made that statement. The movie is based on a real case out of Dallas but the dialogue is clearly fictional.

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s refuse to file complaints with the prosecutors office because the officers know the prosecutor won’t prosecute offenders. Everyone begins to give up and crime begins to pays. The criminals know this.

My neighbor shot into our living room window, while my husband and I were eating dinner. The bullet passed right between us and hit the back door. Another bullet struck the house and was lodge into a stud.

5 witnesses heard Ed Applegate yell for my husband and shoot. He was charged with 2 felony counts. Within a few days the charges were dropped to disturbing the peace. It is probable my husband I will harmed. Applegate had made threats to blow our heads off several times.

The 2nd prosecutor assigned to the case was told by the Judge that she was placed in a very aggresses situation here. That the prosecutor needed to go back and rework and continue to investigate the case and re-file the felony charges. That going from 2 felonies to 1 misdmeanor was beyond comprehension.

Bill Douglas’ office works only sex crimes. This guy has serious personal sexual issues. His office is morally corrupt. If you investigate him and his former lead prosecutor Rick Baughman you will begin to understand what his priorities are confined to.

Please help our community and deliver a new candidate for this office that will protect the people.

Thank you
