U.S. Government vs. Bobby Sullivan & Edward Brown RE: Corps Ranger Brady Dempsey (Badge #1777) Formal Chargers of Unethical and Unprofessional conduit in Criminal # W03-627M Folks it is time for phase 2 of many phases we will do in behalf of our two friends here that as you know, were unfairly treated by the ranger, federal prosecutor, federal court, and by their own court appointed attorney’s. Both of our friends were found guilty and are being sentenced April 21st in Fort Hood, Texas. At this time, the court trial transcript has been acquired for $1500.00 (the court clerk made a mistake and it cost them more for the transcript than what was told to them by the court clerk originally). Copies have been made and we are getting these copies into hands of those that might help both Bob and Ed in their appeal or before. While reading the transcript, one can’t keep from getting mad, especially from the lies produced by Ranger Dempsey before and during this hearing. Before testifying, each witness is sworn in and under oath to tell the truth. I can tell you that Ranger Dempsey should be the one person now in jail for the many lies he told on the stand during the trial, but he is not. Remember it was Ranger Dempsey that before the trail was in the federal prosecutor’s office while Bob and Ed were setting in the hallway just the opposite side of that same office wall. Dempsey was bragging about how these two guys had no support with their problem and how he and the prosecutor were going to bury Bob and Ed in the courtroom. Yet this is not the only place Ranger Dempsey decided to brag about his great accomplishment over Bob and Ed. For an email has been found from Ranger Dempsey to his classmates of a special class he had just taken two weeks before on how to cite folks like Bob and Ed. In his email he again brags of his great accomplishment and that only about 30 had written in to his commander in supported of Bob and Ed with negative comments to say about him. He laughed, because 30 complaints weren’t enough to get him in trouble but just a little grief. According to the transcript, during the trial the fact of Ed’s tee shirt came up, a tee shirt according to Ranger Dempsey that was blue and had East Texas Treasure Hunters Ass’n. on the back of it. Ranger Dempsey testified that he punched up that treasure club on his computer and it lead him to the state site Texas Council of Treasure Clubs, Inc. Then that site lead him to another site which lead him to the Relicman Civil War site that was selling Fort Graham buttons 1846 era on the Internet. Dempsey had stated in his “revised” report of the incident: that Bob and Ed were selling artifacts they found at Fort Graham to the Relicman site on the Internet for resale. At this point, the defense attorney objected and Ranger Dempsey, the prosecutor and defense attorneys were asked to approach the bench by the judge. In the transcript it stated the judge dismissed the jury from the courtroom so to settle a point-of-law first and then they would be recalled back. Again the transcript stated that the judge ask Ranger Dempsey point blank, if he had any PROOF at all that the relics or artifacts being sold on the Relicman site was sold to that site by Bob and Ed. Ranger Dempsey tried to explain how he came to that conclusion and the judge ask him again to answer his question. Finally the transcript shows where Ranger Dempsey admitted he had NO PROOF that Bob or Ed had ever sold anything to the Relicman site or anyone else. NOW FOLKS, at this point and since it was the driving force that placed Bob and Ed in this courtroom in the first place; wouldn’t you think that since the judge had just caught Ranger Dempsey in a lie and embellishing his report of the incident, that this would of been cause for a “miss-trial”? At this point, why would anyone believe anything written in Ranger Dempsey’s report after this? Of course, the jury is out of the courtroom and does not get to hear any of this being said. When the judge invites the jury back to the courtroom, he instructs them to disregard any of the statements of the tee shirt or club or Internet connection from their decision of this trial. They did not hear any testimony of Ranger Dempsey lying on his report of the incident, or lying of his testimony on the stand. Ranger Dempsey was not charged by the court for lying on the stand in his testimony, no action taken towards him on this at all! In fact, the tee shirt was blue, but the club golf shirt of the East Texas Treasure Hunters clubs has always been green and white…not blue and gold. Ed that was wearing the tee shirt at the site, has never been a member of the East Texas club, but is a member of the Smith Co. Treasure Club in Tyler, TX. which do have blue with gold lettering tee shirts. Obviously Ranger Dempsey has trouble reading as well as placing the truth on his incident reports. Well it is time to give Ranger Dempsey a new problem in his life. Since all I have told you here is in print and most is by Ranger Dempsey, then it’s time for all of us to support Bob and Ed and not let Ranger Dempsey get away with his lies. If he did this to Bob and Ed, he will do it again to someone else. So Bob and Ed are asking you to please make your feelings known about Ranger Brady Dempsey (badge # 1777) conduit and lies in this case. They are asking you to please contact Ranger Dempsey’s commander at: Colonel John R. Minahan, Commander Fort Worth District Corps of Engineers 819 Taylor St. Fort Worth, TX 76102-0300 public.affairs@swf02.usace.army.mil 817-886-1517 http://www.swf.usace.army.mil/pubdata/index.asp Also, not in writing but according to both Bob and Ed; Ranger Dempsey had promised both of them that if they would accept the citations Dempsey wrote them at the site in question, then there would be no further action taken against the guys if they pay their $100.00 fine. Dempsey said it would be no more than like receiving a traffic ticket without it going on your driving record. Then Dempsey went to his office and called the Federal Prosecutor about Bob and Ed’s violation, according to the federal prosecutor. Also, after Bob and Ed received their citations and were escorted off the property, Ranger Dempsey was at the point where Bob and Ed had driven into the Corps Park. Bob asked Ranger Dempsey if there was any damage he could see. At that time Ranger Dempsey stated there was no damage he could find anywhere and that everything is fine, so Bob and Ed left. Then Ranger Dempsey with the federal prosecutor filed “damage of property” charges against Bob and Ed and Dempsey report indicated extensive damage made by Bob and Ed’s truck. I personally photographed that site and where Bob and Ed were digging, there was NO DAMAGE at either location. I couldn’t even find any evidence that look like Bob and Ed had even been there. We do have photo evidence of those sites. PLEASE help Bob, Ed and any future folks that might run into Ranger Dempsey in the future. As many as there is of us, we should each be able to send several letters or emails to Ranger Dempsey’s commander in your name, your wife’s name, children, mother, father and so on. Please make an effort to provide more grief for Ranger Dempsey and his job with the Corps. Ask his commander to accept your “Formal Complaint” and ask if it is the norm for the Corps to hire such dishonesty in their Rangers that are charged and funded by the taxpayers to protect historical sites on Corps controlled lands? Also, is it common for Rangers that are over such sites not to know where boundaries of such historical sites are located so to better carry out their duties in the protection of said sites? Bob, Ed and all metal detector users appreciate very much your taking the time to answer this call of HELP for us all. Sincerely, Keith R. Wills, president WWATS |
