Imagine you were accused of stealing a cookie from a jar; but, the ONLY proof was a note that said “John took the cookie…”. Then, as it turns out, the police wrote that note and placed it in the jar after they confiscated it. That’s what happened to me, Kirk Cottom.
I was railroaded by Keith A. Becker (DOJ Attorney) in 2015. As explained in the “railroaded link” he was aided and abetted by Ashley Podhradsky, Matthew Miller & Josh Stroschein.
As I noted in this post, the DOJ’s standard operating procedure is to create misleading criminal narratives using plausible facts, lies and omissions. The plausible facts in my case consisted of this table, which is akin to the above referenced note in the cookie jar:
And files allegedly found on my linux computer are akin to other cookies. As explained here, that table was a total fabrication (or lie) and they omitted pertinent facts about my linux computer, that strongly indicated that all the incriminating evidence (cookies) was legally insufficient and ineptly planted.
The main problem with our justice system is that it refuses to admit mistakes and or actively tries to hide the mistakes that occur. So far, my litigation has been fruitless, but hope springs eternal. Perhaps I’ll obtain the “missing” crucial piece of evidence from my ongoing FOIA litigation.
