If you have not read this blog post, it has the interaction mentioned by me and the comments by one of the women Singleton.
http://johnchiv.blogspot.com/2017/05/kyle-zoellners-preliminary-starts-same.html?m=1
The other woman is Tina Sampay. She is the woman who verbally harassed Zoellner's mother outside court, she is a HSU alum, from what I was told, and has a personal blog. She hardly takes notes, has not been present all day or for the entire court hearings and when she is, she is too busy talking to Verbena and that white guy, whoever he is. He takes notes too. So does Verbena. Let's see if their versions match court transcripts or facts. Anyone can blog or comnent, taking responsibility for your words is another thing.
This is some of what Tina Sampay is writing.
Paul Mann is a colleague and a good journalist. However, he is reporting what has been told to him. Of course Sampay likes what he wrote, it is all favorable to her agenda. She does not like any media that presents both sides.
So who is fueling the fire here and preventing justice for Josiah and Kyle?
TINA IS A BETTER JOURNALIST THEN YOU WILL EVER BE
ReplyDeletewuts a matter john chiv ? dont like comments that dont match your agenda ? dont take responsibility ?
ReplyDeleteShe is truly a waste of time to even post. she is not there, obviously not paying attention, disrespectful enough to harass Kyle mom, and racially motivated in her entire agenda. Look at her previous posts... all about how race plays into everything.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be sued period
ReplyDeleteFor the record, "Mary Machiavelli" is Tina Sampay. She posts under both names and sends emails under both names, same IP, different email carriers but otherwise same email address.
DeleteI am not seeing, from what we've heard so far (thanks, John!), a lot of overt racial hostility as a motivation for the stabbing, I suppose that you could infer that it's there and influenced events. But mostly it just seems like people being jackasses.
ReplyDeleteThe racism is there, all right. Take a look:

I read the account in the Union and I can understand why lawyers for both sides are upset with the interview. There is so much in that article which has NOTHING to do with the case and everything to do with the perspectives/attitudes of the people talking.
ReplyDeleteMy other comment (nothing to do with the people involved) is that this is a very poor piece of 'journalism'. I don't read the Union much but if that is their level of professionalism then I won't bother at all in the future.
Stay strong John and keep reporting the facts, all the acting out and signifying that's gone on will count for nothing. To quote The Scottish Play, "full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing"
Thanks Gabriele. This coould have been the end of it but since she and Mr. White guy do not understand boundaries and not engaging with someone you have been told to stay away from, there will be part 2, with graphic of a note handed to me in open court by Mr. White Guy.
DeleteJohn I appreciate that you're writing the facts from the courtroom, thank you for being so honest. I know you're being honest because I've sat in on 2 of the 3 days of this hearing. I was in a side room when I heard Tina and her group of people yelling and screaming at you. They were very aggressive towards you, just like they have been towards us.
ReplyDeleteTina specifically confronted me and accused me of stealing her "green note pad" and when I ignored her she became irate and very upset that I would play into her little game. She has followed me around the courtroom and has even stopped to give me dirty looks during testimonies with her friends. She has some anger issues and it's clear she hates anyone who doesn't agree with her.
I do not feel she is really there for any justice but more so for drama.
Thank you for your comment. Today, Verbena left me alone, the white guy's wife left me alone, I did not see the one lady that was only there Monday for the last two days, with that group, who spoke to me on Monday. If that was Barbara Singleton, she had the decency to say what she did on my blog and has stopped. Today, things were going well until after the afternoon break. Inside court, with the bailiff and people all around, Mr. White Guy came write up to me as testimony was going to begin, mouthed off sarcastically, "Good job, John" then walked away. After court, he hands me a note, which I will be documenting and handing over in a written complaint. It was unsigned. Then as I walk out and am talking with another reporter, Tina comes over to where we are, grabs that reporter, interrupts our conversation, which is work related and timely and proceeds to bad mouth me. I am not engaging them after the bailiff talked with all of us Monday. They are going out of their way to impede me working as well as provoke a situation. I said nothing to either of them. Maybe I should accuse them of being racist towards me lol? I won't because their issues are apparent. They keep giving me more and more reason to document all this, in front of witnesses. For them, it is amusing. For me, it is so disrespectful to both families in this case and the process of justice.
DeleteI see the typo in the above comment,not going to fix it. I have gone non stop all day, every day, even at lunch, and wasted enough time on these pathetic fools.
ReplyDeleteI agree don't waste anymore time, there is so much hate filled with her and her group. You are better than that and it is very distasteful and rude to behave this way with grieving families around.
DeleteJon Chiv is an anti-black trump supporter and police sympathizer. You want to talk about her being favorable to an agenda? Let's talk about your agenda. White supremacy with a brown face.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is why Connie Stewart, other African American observers in court talk to me along with many other African American community members. Are you not being racist towards me with your comment?
DeleteJon Chiv hates himself and supports white supremacy. This is how you write? Who published this trash? I demand answers Chiv.
ReplyDeleteWho are you to demand answers anonymous? State your real name that I can verify, first.
