Seeing as this is someone who 17 years ago conducted a search at my residence without any probable cause; strictly word of mouth that came from some misleading informant, it does not surprise me that her ways of handling her life as a police officer as well as the home life collided and crashed as well as crumbled to the point where she now found herself in a “bind during a desperate time.” Maybe she should really brush up on the new laws as well as educate herself on how to handle life as a criminal/professional who now personally will have a criminal background to explain on her next “application”; weather be for a “new career, or credit loan.” A word of advice from a undergrad in criminal justice who you and your department purposely ignored and mi-categorized…“everything you do in life has a five step process, and it all starts with a thought; those thoughts lead to actions. Those actions lead to reactions. Those reactions in turn have consequences, and those consequences will determine the outcome of whatever situation that you put yourself into whether it be negative or positive”. Now the tables have turned with the system and judge as well as District Attorney against you, your career is now in their hands and maybe you should think twice before ACTING ON IMPULSE in a time of need, seeing as we all have those moments at some point in our lives, just saying!

In reply to Joellen.

There is no other choice but to trust humans when it comes to judicial trials and all other “earthly matters” when it comes right down to it. We physically live in an imperfect world but one must try to trust all jurors to do the best they can when passing judicial judgments on the guilt or innocence of another human being.

In my opinion the scales of justice will prevail once all the evidence is investigated and rendered into evidence then and only then can a determination fall into place as to the accused will be prosecuted with out prejudice

DA Tim Ward will dismiss charges and plead this down to misdemeanors or no jail time. His office has done this with the VPD Officer who was caught on video groping women at the Visalia Elks Lodge in 2020, and the Porterville Officer who was caught in a relationship with a juvenile explorer in 2019. Also VPD officers S. Logan faced 11 years in prison plus one year of local jail time and Officer B. Ferreira faced 34 years plus six years of local jail time in 2023. Both were given sweet plea deals from Ward’s office. No surprise, but Tim Ward sought and received VPD Officers’ and PPD union endorsements when he ran for re-election. Please call the DA’s office and tell Tim Ward not to run scared from a trial and make a plea deal with this case like he has in the past. Valley Voice: Just look at every single past case where Ward has prosecuted a peace officer from VPD and you will see all the plea deals and charge dismissals.
