"BJ Plasket's column - FW files appeal" Posted by Holly on 05:10:33 4/21/2001 The Daily Times-Call B.J. Plasket DENVER - Former Ramsey-family friend Fleet R. White, Jr. is attempting to revive a now-dormant investigation in which he is seeking criminal charges against journalists who last year wrote stories mentioning him in the JonBenet Ramsey slaying. White, who was with John Ramsey when he discovered his 6-year-old daughter's body in the family's basement, also hopes to convince Attorney General Ken Salazar to launch a grand jury investigation into allegations that media members criminally libeled him in stories spurred by a California woman's claim she was sexually assaulted as a child. White has now asked the Colorado Court of Appeals to overturn Boulder District Judge Roxanne Bailin's order that ended the investigation launched by White and Boulder police in August of 2000. The appellate court has not decided if it will hear the case, according to records. White first sought criminal charges after a series of stories in which the California woman accused a group - some of were reportedly in Boulder on the day JonBenet Ramsey was killed - of sexually assaulting her as a child. The woman said she was assaulted in much the same manner as JonBenet and has known the White family since she was a small child. The woman's therapist later said the woman's allegations were made four years before the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey. Former Boulder County District Attorney Alex Hunter, after interviewing the woman, said he found her "very believable." Boulder police, however, did not believe her. The police department sought the criminal libel charges after White and his wife, Priscilla, supplied them with a stack of what he called "numerous documents, articles and Internet data" he believed wrongfully implicated him. The Boulder District Attorney's Office sought a special prosecutor, and the case was referred to Pueblo County District Attorney Gus Sandstrom. Sandstrom, however, never got to make a filing decision. White, in early September, wrote to Bailin and asked her to remove Sandstrom from the case because of comments he made in an article in the Boulder Daily Camera, one of the targets of the investigation. In that article Sandstrom said he "didn't have much choice" in taking the case and did so reluctantly. White called Sandstrom's comments "improper and unfavorable" and should "disqualify him from further involvement." In his letter to Bailin, White expressed the Boulder Police Department's desire to have the case assigned to a prosecutor of their choice - Larimer County District Attorney Stu Van Meveren. According to the letter, Van Meveren turned down the appointment because of a heavy caseload and the fact that his office was moving to another building at the time. Bailin responded to White's letter by terminating both Sandstrom's appointment and the criminal libel investigation. In a December order clarifying the termination, Bailin said she terminated the case "based on the Whites' request for the dismissal of the special prosecutor." In the September letter to Bailin, Fleet and Priscilla White said they were going to seek a state grand jury investigation, and took the unusual step of asking Bailin for her "support and cooperation" in obtaining the grand jury probe. There has been no sign of a state grand jury being called, and the attorney general's office does not normally announce the formation of grand juries. The appeal claims Bailin didn't have the legal authority to end either the special prosecution or the investigation. Boulder Police, meanwhile, continue to focus on John and Patsy Ramsey as suspects in their daughter's killing. Police chief Mark Beckner recently said that many people have been investigated in the crime, but that "no one outside the family" has become a suspect. White was one of John Ramsey's best friends prior to the murder, but the two had a falling-out within days of the murder of JonBenet. Colorado Springs attorney Douglas Price, who is representing the Whites in the appeal, could not be reached for comment. According to court documents, all filings in the case must be made by April 25. There is no indication when the court will decide if it will hear the case. 4/21/01 [ ALERT ] [ EDIT ] [ REPLY ] [ REPLY WITH QUOTE ] [ TOP ] [ MAIN ] 1. "Well, well, well."

"The Captain and Tenille?" Posted by Holly on 05:45:23 4/21/2001 "Welcome to Price & Price, LLC, This firm had its inception from the relationships that Jackson Brown warned you about ....Lawyers In Love. Douglas Price and Michele Price are still married after fourteen years of legal practice and continue to practice law in the areas of Criminal, Civil Litigation and Employment Law. Our emphasis is still on you the person and the serious concern that brings to you to seek the advise of a lawyer." You'd think people would pay attention, wouldn't you? FW is complaining that Bailin booted his criminal libel claim, that is based on the media reporting he may belong to a sex ring. Soooooo... His lawyer's website emphasizes that Douglas Price and his wife, Michele are the living image of Jackson Browne's "Lawyers in Love". An image I might have tried to avoid considering the nature of the case. And why am I reminded of "Muskrat Love"? And is that "ADVISE" or ADVICE, uh...

"How" Posted by Morgan on 06:20:09 4/21/2001 many law offices did the Whites have to pass to get to the lovvvve lawyers? Colorado Springs is about 200 miles from Boulder and they couldn't find one in Denver? The Whites are asking for a statewide GJ to investigate their criminal libel complaint. Why not try for a federal GJ or maybe even an international court? Oh, maybe those will be the next steps of their legal strategy if they lose this one.

"Morgan, get a clue" Posted by masker on 09:30:32 4/21/2001 or a map. Colorado Springs is 65 miles from Denver, and less than 80 miles from Boulder.

Posted by Holly on 09:43:21 4/21/2001 NOTE: This message was last edited 09:43:21, 4/21/2001 Colorado Springs is 93 miles from Boulder. At least 1.5 hrs drive from point A to point B. And her point, I think, was that bypassing the lawyer rich Denver area to head south 93 miles one way, seems odd. Edited to add - Distances provided by Rand McNally Road Atlas. However, going by the 1 inch = 25 miles key provided at the top of the page, it looks more like 125-150 miles one way. 250-300 miles round trip.

"amazin' stuff" Posted by mame on 09:45:57 4/21/2001 this appeal makes this guy look stupider and stupider...one interesting point is that plasket has been taken off the list!!!! and i'm not on it...the only folks NOT on his libel list are those who had access and proof at their disposal...anyone who really knows the judicial process can read between the lines of this "appeal"...it's rather a joke. again, if libel was done...why not go after nancy directly? but, it gives us something to smile about. i'm still upset i wasn't named. i would gladly face mr. white in court...and so would nancy.

"the judge" Posted by mame on 09:53:56 4/21/2001 NOTE: This message was last edited 09:53:56, 4/21/2001 dropped it because of white's letter. what mr. white doesn't seem to understand is that no individual has the right to determine WHO gets the "case"...even if there is a case...which there isn't. wah..wah..wah..white didn't get the special prosecutor he wanted...so he got pissed and pulled out. ahhhhh, poor mr. white guess he thought he was at a private club... his lawyer in filing an appeal even had to make up a name for the case...cuz there is no case! anyone can file an appeal on anything...this will get thrown out in appealate court...there is no case. and, there is no precedence for such a case. gotta love it.
