A year ago I wrote in regards to the injustice myself and five of my friends suffered in Moffett. In a trial I was found guilty of multiple traffic offenses in a trial that was right out of Reba's "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia."
A bottle with chewing tobacco and spit was considered alcohol, and the judge would not allow testing of the contents. Then left of center, or was it right of center? The officer couldn't make up her mind in court. Actually, I was in the right lane and I moved to the left lane as a courtesy to the officer who was involved in a traffic stop, and then back into my original lane after I had passed.
The other was the finding of guilty for the six of us for public intoxication when there wasn't a test given. Three of the individuals had not even been drinking.
I have encountered several with similar stories, and my story still has more injustices. I still have a driving on suspension on my record for that traffic stop, that I was not charged with until I wrote my last letter to this paper. So I have a conviction for driving on suspension, but my driver's license record does not indicate that my license has never been suspended. The arresting officer could not and would not produce her Oklahoma Law Enforcement certification in court, but the judge said I'll believe her.
This is a long time coming, and I hope that the FBI brings the terroristic treatment of Moffett to an end. To the officers involved, remember all those i's that weren't dotted and t's that weren't crossed, you are going to receive an English lesson.
