Baumgartner Gets 45 Days
For 'Contempt Of Court'

Caught in a corrupt legal matrix, Ohio attorney jailed again, adding to the 244 days already spent behind bars for bogus charges. Observers claim truthseeking lawyer is another political prisoner in the American gulag system.
 
 
An Ohio attorney fighting massive corruption in the state that fraudulently put George W. Bush in the White House was jailed last Thursday for 45 days on contempt of court charges.
 
Elsebeth Baumgartner arrived in the Erie County courthouse last week for a felony trial appearance, but left in shackles after a private meeting in Judge David Knepper's chambers, being charged with contempt as well as being ordered to submit to her third psychiatric evaluation.
 
As outrageous as it sounds, Baumgartner faces a total of more than 109 years in jail on other felony charges stemming from speaking out about corruption at a city council meeting, including emailing a high ranking Ohio judge and running a controversial web site accusing high ranking Ohio officials with serious crimes.
 
Observers who have been following Baumgartner's case said it sadly illustrates just how far down the fascist road America has gone in a relatively short period of time, especially since 9/11.
 
Angela Caputo, a close friend of Baumgartner, said the respected Ohio attorney is being held and muzzled by high-ranking state officials due to the sensitivity of Baumgartner's allegation first made public two years ago at a Cuyahoga County city council meeting.
 
Baumgartner's strong allegations of wrongdoing, including judicial misconduct and drug running by a top Cuyahoga Country prosecutor, led to an attack on Baumgartner's personal liberties as officials twisted the law to keep the allegations from the public.
