Tracy Eugene Reeves Court Transcript

Eleven Hundred and Sixty Two People of Red River County are tired of the "Good Ole Boy" Law Enforcement that we have.  There is one thing in particular that I would like to talk about today, and that is the Confidential Informant Shawn McCullough that has made so many drug cases for the S.O. and for Deputy Freddie Booker. 

I believe that this CI's credibility is definitely in question.  I also believe from reading the Tracy Eugene Reeves transcript that there is more involved here than just drugs.  These investigations are "tainted".  I say tainted because if you look you will see that if the Deputy has let the CI get out of his sight, that he could have got drugs from anywhere during that time, and said that he purchased drugs from the Accused.  Letting the CI get out of his sight for any length of time is definitely a "no NO".  This needs to be looked at by everyone as a violation of procedure by the Deputy. This makes all of the cases that Shawn McCullough made for this Deputy questionable.  There are a lots of "Accused People" that are sitting behind bars this minute because of Shawn McCullough.  A considerable amount of them could be questionable as to guilt.  I have heard that Mr. McCullough's own family has said that he was not raised to be this way.

Val Varley, and our District Court need to hear the Eleven Hundred and Sixty Two People who have spoken about the "Good Ole Boy" system, and any case that has been tainted by anything that this CI, or Deputy Booker has done outside of professional investigation needs to be thrown out. 

Our legal system is based on "facts", and if the facts are tainted because of sloppy law enforcement procedure then we as a society need to pressure our officials to "DO IT RIGHT, or DON'T DO IT AT ALL."  It is better for 10 guilty men to go free than to have one innocent man convicted.  Wait A Minute,  in Red River County it is better for 10 guilty men to go free, and have one innocent man convicted because that is how justice works here.

I can assure everyone reading this, that if they could figure a way to silence me, that they would do "Anything and Everything" to do it, if they COULD GET AWAY WITH IT!!!  Who is to say they are not cooking up some scheme to do that at this very minute.  I will own a considerable chunk of Red River County in the end if they try, and too many people are watching them for them to try anyway.  More eyes are peering in on what "The Good Ole Boys"  are doing right now in this county than have ever been before, and they can't afford to bring the scrutiny of anyone else on them by trying something STUPID.

It is not about putting people in Prison Val Varley, it is about Equal Justice and Fair Justice.  We all know that sloppy law enforcement practices does not bring about justice, and we most definitely have sloppy law enforcement practices, and sloppy judicial practices when people are RR Justiced without evidence even being submitted in Court or being Tested before the Revocation Hearing. 

CAN WE SAY THAT WE HAVE JUSTICE IN THIS COUNTY?     Eleven Hundred and Sixty Two People think that we do not!!!!   How about ya'll making a change or are you just going to go about "Business as Usual"?
