Re: A cover-up for 69DU-CR-17-900 being tried in the court of public opinion I am demanding an investigation into your so-called officers of the court attempt to coerce me into pleading guilty in order to cover up the illegal release to the media of my confidential criminal investigative data for case no. 69DU-CR-17-900 and for my co-defendant Douglas Anthony Marana in case no. 69DU-CR-17-901. I am demanding the investigation for the following reasons:
1. On 04-17-18 I filed a criminal complaint with the Chisholm Police dept against St. Louis County Attorney Mark S. Rubin, St. Louis County Attorney Criminal Division Head Gary W. Bjorklund, and St. Louis County Assistant County Attorney Christopher Pinkert in what I have a reason to suspect is a conspiracy with Mn Dept of Natural Resources (DNR) Colonel Rodmen Smith, DNR Administrative Manager Captain Alex Gutierrez and MN DNR Data Practices Compliance Official Sheila Deyo to illegally release my confidential, nonpublic, criminal investigative data for Case No. 69DU-CR-17-900 to media outlets in order to try my case in the court of public opinion. See attached ICR: 18555431.
2. My attorney Kimberly Jean Corradi is currently holding my 69DU-CR-17-900 case files hostage. Corradi’s first attempted to hold my property hostage was to say it would be very expensive to make copies. Only after I put a demand into writing did Corradi agree in writing to give me my property. However, Corradi said she would only give me my property after the hearing on July 2, 2018. How can I prepare my defense without my property?
3. My attorney Kimberly Jean Corradi has willfully refused to make sure that the MN Dept of Natural Resources press release and the corresponding data that was illegally released to KARE 11 news was either to be in her possession or was to be obtained from County Attorney Mark Rubin and Mn DNR Colonel Rodmen Smith.
4. My attorney Kimberly Jean Corradi has willfully refused to demand that a special prosecutor be assigned to 69DU-CR-17-900. It would be a conflict of interest for Assistant St. Louis County Attorney Christopher Pinkert and St. Louis County Attorney Mark Rubin to prosecute the case when they are both named in Chisholm ICR: 18555431. Corradi willfully refused to contact any judicial officer, in writing, to demand Pinkert’s and Rubin’s immediate removal from the case.
5. My attorney Kimberly Jean Corradi has willfully refused to file for sanctions against St. Louis County Attorney Mark Rubin and Assistant St. Louis County Attorney Christopher Pinkert for their conspiring with Mn DNR Colonel Rodmen Smith to try my case in the court of public opinion by illegally releasing my confidential data to the media. 6. I have reason to suspect that my attorney Kimberly Jean Corradi is conspiring with St.

Louis County Attorney Mark S. Rubin, St. Louis County Attorney Criminal Division Head Gary W. Bjorklund, and St. Louis County Assistant County Attorney Christopher Pinkert to coerce me into pleading guilty instead of demanding that the case be dismissed. My attorney Kimberly Jean Corradi has willfully refused to demand that 69DU-CR-17-900 be dismissed immediately. The motive: cover-up misuse of public resources. In fact, there was a big push to get me to plead guilty prior to the retirement of the judicial officer assigned to the case.

• Agents seized a number of illegally trapped animals while serving search warrants on the suspects' homes in early January. (Photo: MN DNR) DNR conservation agents confiscated 638 illegal snare traps, as part of an investigation that led to charges against 2 men from northeastern Minnesota who allegedly ran a large illegal trapping operation that covered parts of 4 counties. (Photo: MN DNR) "The laws pertaining to trapping are there for the humanity and preservation of all species (not just furbearers) as well as protecting the public and domestic animals," wrote DNR Captain Alex Gutierrez in a written statement to KARE 11. "When an individual fails to check the traps and not follow the regulations, several things can occur: One can be that the animal may suffer and eventually expire in an undesirable manner. Another may be, the animal may expire and if left there several days, then it may be prayed upon by scavengers, therefore rendering the animal pelt useless. These types individuals steal the opportunity of an ethical trapper from harvesting an animal in a legal and humanely method. Lastly, the impact these types situations and/or individuals have on the states resources." 2 charged in illegal trapping operation Two men from northeastern Minnesota are charged after a two-year investigation that uncovered a large illegal trapping operation.

• The various types of gaslighting have in common two defining features. The first is an attempt to impair or destroy an individual's confidence in his or her psychic abilities. After this first aim has been achieved, the second aim is to attain control over the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of the victim. By making another person feel fearful, guilty, or ashamed, the manipulator is in a position to gain control over the other individual's affects, thoughts, and behaviors by substituting his own beliefs. This is the basic mechanism of gaslighting whether used in everyday life, in psychotherapy situations, or in the thought-reform and mind-control manipulations of cult leaders. Some advertising and many social interactions in which one person attempts to gain control over another are based on this principle.” Gaslighting, The Double Whammy, Interrogation and Other Covert Control in Psychotherapy & Analysis, Theo L. Dorpat (Maryland: 2004), Page 7.
• With the rise of the democracies and the dethronement and disempowering of previously powerful groups such as the military, the nobility, and the like, there has been a gradual shift from the conscious and explicit use of direct methods of interpersonal and social control to one that are more indirect, subtle, and covert. Gaslighting, The Double Whammy, Interrogation and Other Covert Control in Psychotherapy & Analysis, Theo L. Dorpat (Maryland: 2004), Page xviii.
