Since getting my license as a private investigator I’ve been able to delve a bit more deeply into the case involving my brother. Some well meaning people in my life have suggested that I just let it go, but I am wholly unable to do that. After all, it’s my fault he took a plea in the first place. He wanted to keep fighting, but I was scared. Computer pornography is such a complex issue and next to impossible to fully explain to a jury. One of the things the DA’s office accused my brother of was possession of child pornography. They said he had more than 2000 images. My brother was a police officer working on several child pornography cases for the local prosecuting attorney’s office. The former P-A has written a letter attesting to that fact and I will be picking it next month. The letter is great, but I wanted to keep digging. I hired a forensic computer specialist to further look into the images and the results I got back today were staggering. The majority of these awful sites require that a fee be paid to view. The fee ranges in cost from $19.95 to $35.00. If a person only viewed half of these paid sites at the low end of $19.95 a site, the cost would total more than $19,000. That was more than my brother earned in an entire year as a cop. Sites like that don’t take cash – just credit cards. Yet the DA’s office had no credit card records. This small portion of the case is only one that doesn’t track with any sense. I found out yesterday that one of the main instigators in all this sells adult sex toys and has made frequent visits to the sites they accused my brother of visiting. I’m going to deliver all this information to the media. Writing about my intentions is the only thing I can think of to force the cockroaches out of hiding and show themselves. I may lose my life in the process, but I’m going to keep digging into this until I prove my brother was set up.
