I met Augustus in the Air Force. We became extremely close friends more that 20 years ago. "Aug". And you are correct this story is a hell of a lot deeper than the media reported

The deck is stacked against us all.

1. Illegal search and seizure with according to the court no compensation. The other issue with that is that if the search was illegal, why was the property not returned immediately and the case thrown out? More disturbing is that we as citizens have no recourse and no one to watch governmental offices? If the police do not do things above board then to me that means there is no law and order.

2. Kathleen Delaney should have removed herself from the fitness exam. Since she did not that tells me that she was appointed to do the job, or it was a reminder to Gus that the Delaney's still have power. The way I read it. What I find funny here is that Gus did not point out the impropriety, but rather stated he had the conflict of interest. That speaks volumes to his character vs. the Delaney's. That doesn't sound like someone who was enraged, but most likely disgusted by the arrangement.

3. DeLaney's wife, Ann, worked as the head of the sex crimes unit within the prosecutor's office during the legal battle against his father. I don't find that a coincidence either.

What Gus did wasn't right. So that begs the question of why? What happened to push him to that end?

Other disturbing items:

1. Local media is not dispensing all facts.
2. There are serious inappropriate things in the history of Gus's father's case. That is a huge red flag! Not only will we take your property illegally, but we'll also drag the case out to deplete you of your ability to defend yourself.
3. Delaney met on the pretense that Russian's wanted to launder money, IF this is a true fact. Given the history of the connections I find it probable.

Other thoughts:
Dave Grossman, has made comments that we are likely to see more revenge attacks in the future.
Sounds like there is a simple solution to this. Treat others as you would like to be treated and become intimately familiar with morals and do not abuse your power.

I think Gus went into law to bring these types of things into light.

If you want the real story about what happened just let me know. I've been best friends with Augustus for 23 years.

In foreign policy terms what happened to Ed would be called "blowback" (a CIA term for "oh, yeah, we pissed some people off a while back and it just bit us in the ass).

It was an egregious act, but not without a root cause or action in which somebody felt wronged and that ultimately led them there.

The Russian mafia angle on this story is definitely worth investigating. But the primary witness is probably none to credible at this point.

Attorneys have a "character and fitness" before the Indiana Bar?

Which "bar" is that? The Living Room Lounge?

Reminds me of the classic movie The Princess Bride where Inigo tells Vizzini, "I do not think [that word] means what you think it means".

Like most legalese, it doesn't actually say anything about it having to be "good" character or fitness.

I could run with this all afternoon (snort, sncker).

Yeah, the deck is stacked against folks like the Mendenhalls.

Yes, and this country will likely see more of these types of crimes, especially if the economy gets worse. Otherwise intelligent, good people can easily snap and strike out against those they perceive (rightly or wrongly) as the wrongdoer. Thankfully this guy aimed his hatred toward a very specific individual. Once he found out that he could gain access to the daughter of his then planned victim, he could have changed his plans and decided to target her instead. Scary.

Lt. Col. USA (ret) Dave Grossman, has made comments that we are likely to see more revenge attacks in the future, especially if the economy really tanks and some people don't know how to cope with the new living standard of the US of A. He says that some people will make sure others feel their pain.

Having Kathleen Delaney assigned to do Mendenhall's character and fitness exam would be a huge coincidence. At least some inquiries should be made to make sure this was just a coincidence.

When he complained, he should have been given another attorney. That's a no brainer. That also raises suspicions.
