Those who create drama need to do because they are on denial about the truth and to deflect from a case that isn't black and white
This isn't just for this case,this is for all those cases where people who only see their side, ignore the drama and their own actions or those of their friends. People who think the judicial process should convict people without due process and think it is irresponsible journalism if you don't print "their version of truth." Then there are those who think I shouldnt write about their case at all.
Supporters of Anthony Besselieu-Hill and Brian Edwards ignored the bailiff's request to move, sat in the first row which is reserved for attorneys and law enforcement and were distracting in court. Edwards had the nerve to sit through his friend's testimony when he himself had not testified. Edwards had an attitude in court and outside court. One can only imagine what he must be like with a few drinks.
No one saw who stabbed Bessellieu-Hill or Edwards. They say Brandon Watson did. No one saw Watson stab Triantos; Sage Rios said he did. The fights did not occur in a vaccum.
Mardi Bessellieu, Antony Bessellieu-Hill's mother had no problem with my coverage of the Brandon Watson case prior to today. I have plenty of emails thanking me.
How convenient that people forget the time I put in answering their questions and providing information.
Mardi Bessellieu-Hill contacted me privately to state that it was inappropriate of me to put where her son's friend, Edwards worked. I told her that this was stated in court testimony.
Tons of people take risks when they testify in court. I take risks every day reporting the truth in this town.
The incident Ewards was involved in occurred in 2016. Nothing has happened to either Edwards or Bessellieu-Hill since then. But suddenly, it matters now. For two years, if Watson or his friends wanted to settle score, they could have, anywhere in Humboldt.
Edwards testified. If anyone wanted to settle score with him, my listing where he works makes no difference. Stop creating drama.
The article has been up for three days.
Brandy Mann's fear or Edward's wife fear of what may happen to Edwards is fear based on no evidence. Edwards seemed quite the braggart in court and in his version of events.
Jessica, who said to be Brian Edward's wife has called or contacted me incessantly. I am accessible, that doesn't give anyone the right to email, call or harass me.
Why stop at removing one thing in my post? Why dont I just remove everything not convenient to Brandy Mann or anyone else? That's what some of you are used to getting away in this town, bully media and control coverage.
There was no prosecution of the Bessellieu-Hill case in 2016. The DA tacked on their charge in January 2019 to the Bo Triantos case. If it was a prosecutable case, charges would have been filed in 2016.
I did mention intimidation of the press to Mardi Bessellieu-Hill. She chose to address this with me in private and let it go. Brandy Mann decided to create drama. Brandy Mann wants to to silence and shame me because she cannot deal with facts.
Too many in Humboldt, with too much time on Facebook, always in cases full of drama.Just like Jane Doe in the Lorna Leen case.
The DA has no evidence that Watson stabbed Bessellieu-Hill or Edwards except they say he did. No evidence that Bo Triantos was stabbed by Watson except for Sage Rios saying so and he didnt testify at the priminary hearing. No video showing the stabbing.
What we do know is that both incidents involved drunk people fighting. Let's see what the toxicology reports show.
Brandy, it isn't irresponsible journalism because you think so. No one deserves to be stabbed and killed but some people don't try to manipulate the system or claim nonsense on Facebook posts based on no evidence.
Those who create drama need to do because they are on denial about the truth and to deflect from a case that isn't black and white.
Gary Lee Bullock's victim, Jason Warren's victims and Marci Kitchen's victims were brutally killed. None of these victims were doing drugs or drinking and getting into brawls. These victims did not have the chance to walk away. They were brutally and unexpectedly murdered.
Unlike the Lawson, Brocious and Triantos case and certain other cases filled with drama. Missing cell phones, some smart ass remark, drugs and alcohol involved that resulted in tragedy.
Just because you are the victim or a friend or related to a victim listed in a complaint does not give you the right to harass me or dictate coverage.
