Re: John Lee Double Murder Case, March 2013 - Case - Willing Material Witness Dear Steven Dauernheim: This is the hardest letterl have ever written. To document everything that happened to me before, during and alter the trial, it reads like something from the Twilight Zone, and, indeed, it felt like that too. Every word in this letter is true, and somehow, the judge who signed my arrest warrant had to have been misled court on Monday, March 18, 2013. and had responded to my Subpoena on February 13, 2012, and had met with the ADA, and had an open dialogue with the ADA's office. There is no logical reason I was arrested, and lied to about the "arrest" from the very beginning. I was told that Karen just wanted to "talk to me" for an hour and then the Sheriff's Deputy was bringing me back to my house. I cannot imagine having an ego so big that I would lie and break the law to justify my goal of keeping a 100% conviction rate, as Karen Fraivillig did. To make yourself above the law, and purported to be "untouchable". I wonder how many high ranking officials are under her thumb in-order for her to so blatantly disregard the lawnothing happened. Ok. here we go. I have to start at the beginning of my involvement with Karen and the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney's Office. In January of 2012, John Lee was charged with the double murder of Jason Salter and Tracy Nabergall, in Venice, at Salter's home. On the night of the murders John Lee's father called my mother's house in the middle of the night, frantic with horrific news: He said John came to his house, drunker than he had ever seen him before, covered in blood, and told him he thinks he just killed 2 people. John's father said that John was on his way to my mother's house to kill Beth and my mother, and that he should be there anytime. Then John's father called back to make sure we were ready for John, he was very concerned. Beth and I turned on all the lights in the house and all the lights outside by the pool deck, and waited on the pool deck. About 9 minutes later we heard a vehicle stop on the back side of the property, he would have to come through the woods, as I am thinking that he saw my car out front. He came noisily through the woods and when he got to the back of the fence, I told him "John, its Dotty. Don't come in here because your dad called and told us what you did and your plan to kill Beth and Mom. If you come over that fence, or through the gate, I will shoot you and let the police sort it out later." After a few minutes we heard noises, like someone going back through the woods, and a few minutes later we heard a vehicle speed away. From the very beginning of the ensuing investigation by the ADA's office, I was a willing and cooperative witness. I was later told that John had made a statement that if he was going down; he was killing all of his former girlfriends, starting with Beth, who, in his drunken and dark state of mind, blamed her for breaking up with him some 20 years ago, before the birth of their daughter, Jillian. Many detectives came to my home and took statements (depositions), the prosecution, sheriff's department and defense team. My head was swimming with who was who and was told conflicting stories of what happened that night. On, or around September 10, 2012, I met with Karen and Andrea in a conference room in her ADA office to "prep" me for the trial. I was told what was allowed to be revealed about John and what was not. I was thoroughly prepped and I understood that nothing about John's past, or any of his crimes, could be mentioned. Also, the fact that he just got out of jail. There were specific things I could not say, and I did not. Karen told me that she did not have the murder weapon and that I was going to give it to her. She said she had a 100% conviction rate and that was not going to change. I told her I had problems with the pen knife I bought John being able to nearly decapitate Tracy . . . she said "there were only 3 small "nicks" in Tracy's neck, but they were strategically made". The meeting proceeded and I was reading through a 40 page deposition and it was a mess. I told her I thought my sister, Elizabeth, may have said this passage and that passage. She said, "there was another woman there with you?I" I said yes, my sister. She said "and you probably both sound the same on tape". I said I did not know, but could I listen to the original tape (she had offered earlier). She said sure, I could listen to the tape, no problem. Karen was supposed to call me that same night, said it was important, and I actually stayed up waiting for her, or Andrea's call. Neither one of them ever called me. You can see in Andrea's email that she said they would call. The next day I wrote her a detailed email about the problems I had with the deposition and the fact that I only got one deposition and there were supposed to be 2, and other questions and concerns that I had. I called her office but was unable to talk to either Karen or Andrea and no messages to call me were ever returned. No answers to any of my questions or concerns, for 5 months. Then, as I was getting ready for court, I got word, from my mother, that the judge had called a mistrial because a juror had spoken of it on Face Book. The State Attorney's office did not even call and let me know of the mistrial and save me a trip to Sarasota. I sent another email, saying how sorry I was for her that she now had to redo all that she had done. I found out that there was no DNA, blood or fingerprints on the "murder weapon" that the police found in a sewer drain. There was no blood of Tracy's on John at all, not one drop, for a near decapitation. Also that Jason Salter had killed before. That also would not be allowed in as the defense wanted. The week before the trial was scheduled to start, Karen had someone call me and tell me she wanted to go over what she wanted me to say on the stand. We had already done that and she had not kept her word and had lied to me. I told the "go between" that I would be in court, as instructed, but she might want to think twice about putting me on the stand to say the knife I gave him was the murder weapon -- because I could not. The tool set I bought him was green and EIECRSDIOECHESTIIRE Eli'e'rml1Eary, and If was a small fififl Elie SITOWEG me in the sewer drain. She wanted me to get on the stand and say it was the one "found" in the drain - to do it to "put him where he belongs, for Tracy." I told th? go-between that I would meet with her again on Sunday afternoon, her time request, but that I had to pray about it, what I was going to say on the stand. They gave me until Friday to let them know if I was meeting again with Karen on Sunday. I have a written paper, in Karen's handwriting that shows I was due in court on Tuesday, March 19"' 9am, Courtroom 2-A and her phone number of 861-4435. That very afternoon 2 Sarasota Sheriff Deputies came to my house in Charlotte County and, of course I let them right in. One of the officers told me that Karen just wanted to talk to me for an hour, right now, instead of on Sunday. He told me I would be gone only long enough for her to speak to me and then he was driving me back home. Although he had an alleged Arrest Warrant, I was not allowed to see, there were no charges on it and I was not really being arrested, it was just the way Karen did this sort of thing, hence, no Miranda Warning. When we got to Sarasota, the officer waited with me for hours, waiting for Karen to come down; then he called her office upstairs. I do not know what she told him, but then he said he had to go, but someone would drive me back home. After he left, I was "booked" and transported to jail. She had me arrested with a lie to intimidate me before testifyingl Before I was booked, I was taken to Sarasota Hospital to be "cleared" due to my medical conditions, and the Sheriff told the doctor I was only going to be gone for an hour and then returned home, that is why the hospital doctor signed off, because the Sheriff told him a lie, a lie that Karen told him. Then, after he left, the "booking" with no charges began -- I was being ARRESTED for I was told I must have pissed somebody off. So, I was "Booked", electronically fingerprinted, had a MUG SHOT taken, I am smiling because when they did that I still did not get what was going on. Then I was told that Karen was NOT coming down and I was under REAL ARREST and would be JAILED . . . and my nightmare began. I was stripped and DELOUSED and forced into a COLD WATER shower, all this with others around. They sprayed DELOUSING spray on my plague psoriasis sores, from my head to my feet and made me work it into my hair. I have the sores in my hafir also. I cannot tell you how much pain it caused. Because I did not have "white" underwear on when I came in, I was allowed no underwear. I had knee length, black sox on when I came in, so they were taken and I was sockless, because they were not white. It was wet and cold in the first cell they gave me, I was devastated and in great pain. I was never read my Miranda Rights (because initially I was told I was only going to "talk" to Karen and come home). I asked to make a phone call, as was my civil right and they told me "there is a phone "in my_c?ll. It had no handset, just "the setup for a a lawyer, I was told "no lawyer for you". I asked when I got to see a judge -- they said I was not to get a "First Appearance?" That I was on an ADA hold and that Karen was considered as the Untouchable and I should consider that as far as the "system" is concerned, I did not exist -- there was no arrest record for me. I figured my brother or family would get me out. I A did not even know why I was arrested, was not allowed to read the arrest warrant, or to even see who the judge was that signed it. (I found out later it was the same judge that presided over the trial). But I heard from no one. After 4 days, I was in so much pain I could hardly move at all. Throwing up from the horrible food when I managed to eat a muffin, no teeth in so I could eat (no adhesive, no cleaner, did not get to keep my glasses (can't fill out forms without them). The lights were kept on in there 24/7, big fluorescent lights, no sleep. I asked the doctor for an extra blanket, I was so cold, and he said I told him I did not belong in there and I had several major medical problems and he said he did not want to hear about my problems. I told him I should be segregated as I was in the middle of a 6-8 week daily, 7 days a week, intravenous injections and labs at least once a week as I was possibly contagious, he refused to even speak to me and hurried on to the next cell. I saw other prisoners filling out "Request Forms", a way to contact your lawyer and I asked for one. I wrote it to Karen and told her to "get me out of here and I will say what you want when I testify". The other prisoners said I would get a "copy" back, that's how you know it is processed . . . . everyone got their copies back -- but not me, I got no copy. I did not exist. Karen and Andrea came that night; I was moved from my cell to a small room where Karen and Andrea sat. I was chained to the wall, and she sat there and said she received my message and "do you get it now?" I said "Oh yes, I get it now. Let me out of herel" She said, look at these pictures. When you see this one, you say, yes, that is my receipt. When you see the second photo, you say that it looks just like the one I gave John. And picture which was supposedly the murder weapon, was a picture of a bigger knife in the storm drain and was to say, yes, that is the knife I gave to John. Again, I told her she said "you called me a liar". I reminded her she told me about the 3 small cuts on Tracy's neck and that was a lie. She said nothing. She said, heard you had to PRAY about this." I said, "Yes, I am still praying about this." She said hope you are not related to Steve Stolte, I think he lied to me". (She knows he is my brother). I said "He is a Christian and he is no liar". She said she was not going to let me out, even to get cleaned up for trial. She was livid that I questioned what she wanted me to say and that I called her a liar. She said I needed to think about my testimony. It was my understanding that prepping, which we had already done, was for what YOU CANNOT say -- what the Judge would not allow admittedspecifically say everything she wants you to, regardless of the truth, about the murder weapon. She wanted me to go right from jail; broken, scared, and "She told me if I do not testify, she cafifnak? me do"i5' She? said, as she walked out, "Remember we are doing this for Tracy". On the 18"' I was shackled and taken to court to testify. I had not had any sleep in 5 days, I had not eaten anything that was not thrown up, I was dirty and had no clothes except prison clothes and had Been in pain throughout the whole ordeal. I ended up wearing pieces of ciothes from other people, and socks right off my brather's feet. I did not even have my hair combed. After I was dressed, I was escorted to a chair outside the courtroom. Then, Andrea came to me and took me into a small room adjacent to the court door! She took out the 3 photographs again. And again she told me what I was to say as I saw each photul Then, scared to death of what she CAN DO TO ME based on what SHE ALREADY DID TO ME, I was escorted directly into the witness chair and was sworn in. I looked at Karen and her eyes were downcast throughout my testimony, she would not look at me, as I remember it. The judge asked me if I had been threatened, that it had been brought to his attention, by the deiense, that I was traumatized. I responded that NO, not threatened. SHE DID IT, N0 THREAT, ACTION - MD I FIGURED HE KNEW rr, HAD TO KNOW rr BECAUSE HE was THE JUDGE WHO SIGNED MY BDGUS WARRANT AND HELD ME IN JAIL FOR 5 DAVSI I am a disabled American, with Acquired Nystagmus Multiple Sclerosis (not from birth, but a deterioration of my elin linin due to a head in'u Psoriatic Arthritis of the Hip, and a partially deformed right foot, Acute Plaque Psoriasis, Dancing (MS) and other problems. At the time of my incarteration I was In a treatment regimen by Dr. Mark Asperilla, a famed Infectious Disease Specialist, doing a 6-8 week intravenous drip, 7 days a week and lab work weekly for the treatment (killing) of MERSA and for my Plaque Psoriasis. I should have been isolated for the protection of others, but ms not. The doctor at the facility would not listen to anything most horrific experience. Since I had needle marks, the doctor thought I was a junkie and treated me like one. The most appalling thing about this is that Karen has done this to others, at least 3 according to the Sheriff's Department, which gave me the information about her in an effort to have a civilian, stop her as they are subservient to her. It is the Sheriff's Department that to brave enou or stu enough, to go up against her. the Untouchable, no wonder she has a 100% conviction rate. I have nothing to lose; she already took my dignity, my reputation, my belief in the legal system and judges. I would never have believed that this could happen in America, in 2013. But it can and did. Let's run an ad to see who else has been abused by her powerful position. I wrote 5 letter to President Obama about this and it was copied to the Civil Rights Department and the Judicial Department. Now we will see if there really is justice in the United States anymore, if our laws are just for "some" and if Prosecutors can manipulate the law and its Judges to attain their goals. The Defense brought their witness from out of town and put him in a hotel. I was given the Prosecutions version of compliance, before I was even due in court, all based on the whims of Karen Fraivillig, who was "mad" at me because I told someone from her office that she lied to me and I balked at her instructions about the knife "for the greater good", Karen told me, as if it were a foregone conclusion: "It's for Tracy, we need to do this - you don't want him out loose walking the streets, do you?" Of course not, but lie? Seriously? That's how we get things done in our courtrooms? Sincerely, Electronically Signed Dorothy A. Stolte I am in the process of getting statements from others who were present when I was taken from my house, persons from the jail and anyone else who can attest to this miscarriage of justice. cc: President Obama, Judicial and Civil Rights Department Carolyn Schummer, Defense Attorney (who tried to help me) PS it was easier to contact and dialogue with the President of the United States on his website than with the Judiciary System of the Assistant State Attorney or the Attorney GeneraI's website.
