EVIDENCE TAMPERING by Broward Sheriff's Office - BSO

All known BSO evidence disappeared (per trial transcripts) during this action, but was returned over a year later, after the trial.

But a 2nd heretofore unknown batch also surfaced, with no valid Chain Of Custody.

The (exculpatory) property below was received August 15, 1997, but not logged into Evidence until January 19, 1999, 1-1/2 YEARS LATER, and almost TWO MONTHS AFTER a trial ended.  Detective John Berrena had nothing to do with the intake of the original property, and Cindy Carol Gregory swore under oath in deposition (page 123, lines 9 through 16) that she had no contact with Berrena, except by telephone.  She also admitted that the Plaintiffs committed perjury.

While all other known property (Evidence) taken in by BSO disappeared during the trial and was marked as "EVIDENCE," this property was marked as "SAFEKEEPING."  It sure was kept safe - safely kept away from the court by Homicide Detective John Berrina, along with SERGEANT ED BAKER and SERGEANT MARTIN, plaintiffs Scott K. Bagwell and Cindy Carol Gregory, and their Attorney, Marc A. Chandler, who came before the court with "unclean hands."

BSO is Accredited by CALEA  and all members are required to log and place all property into custody by the end of an officer's shift.  The Plaintiffs continue to stalk our family.

BSO Detective CARR

BSO Detective Carr had to copy the custody sheet that I had in my possession, because BSO had erased theirs.

BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE ( BSO ) HOMICIDE DETECTIVE JOHN BERRENA REMOVED LOGGED EVIDENCE (ACE# 97-12241) FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS, UNTIL AFTER A TRIAL.  THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO THIS IN THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY, BUT THERE IS IN TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS AND IN STATEMENTS FROM OTHER BSO EMPLOYEES.

BUT WHEN HOMICIDE DETECTIVE JOHN BERRENA RETURNED THE EVIDENCE HE HAD TAMPERED WITH, IT WAS DISCOVERED HE HAD ALSO TAMPERED WITH (CONCEALED) A SECOND GROUP OF HERETOFORE UNKNOWN EVIDENCE (ACE# 99-1128) FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, AND DID NOT  LOG IT IN UNTIL JANUARY 19, 1999.  

THIS HERETOFORE UNKNOWN EVIDENCE WAS NOT REFERENCED IN ANY POLICE REPORT, AND WAS CONCEALED DURING TRIAL DISCOVERY BY PLAINTIFFS AND THEIR ATTORNEY, MARC A. CHANDLER.

ALL EVIDENCE WAS TO BE USED IN A TRIAL AGAINST AN ACQUAINTANCE OF HIS (Plaintiff).  THE DEFENDANT,  WAS AN FBI WITNESS/INFORMANT AGAINST THE PLAINTIFFS AND THE FORMER OWNER OF THE DWELLING.

This "EVIDENCE" had to disappear, because Plaintiffs Scott K. Bagwell and Cindy Carol Gregory's (a.k.a. Cindy Carol Travis) original affidavit by their 16 yr old Eagle Scout key witness, ROBERT THOMAS NEWTON, Jr., who cut their grass,  was out of state at the time. 

Co-Plaintiff Cindy Carol Gregory (a.k.a. Cindy Carol Travis) showed up at her deposition with copies from this time period.  Plaintiff's Attorney Marc A. Chandler, who was given a copy by Gregory, also tampered with evidence (fraudulently concealed evidence, "unclean hands," and fraud upon the court ), along with Attorneys LEE H. SCHILLINGER and JOHN BREKKA.

Deprivation of rights under color by Broward Sheriff's Office.

BSO is Accredited by CALEA, and this is BSO's required directive for evidence:

---------------------

Detective John Berrena had already transferred from robbery, District 8, to homicide in another district!  This property (evidence) on the custody sheet above, can NOT be traced to any police report, and does NOT appear, and is NOT mentioned in any deposition, discovery, or trial proceeding.  

2 YEARS AFTER THE TRIAL, in a call placed to Dan Raymond of BSO on January 26, 2001, at 3:45 PM, the missing evidence that was checked out by BSO Detective John Berrena on December 3, 1997, was reported returned by Detective John Berrena on March 16, 1999.   I filed a complaint with BSO Internal Affairs. 

On April 9, 2001, I was called into BSO to make a statement.  The custody sheet presented to me by Sgt Carr (Berrena's boss) had been altered, and Sgt Carr had to photocopy mine, 

Carr was Homicide Detective John Berrena's boss, the BSO Detective who CONCEALED EVIDENCE.  After the missing evidence was discovered, it was investigated by Sgt Carr, NOT the Internal Affairs Department. ALL NAMES AND DATES RELATING TO INTAKE WERE ERASED.   Carr then photocopied my custody sheet.  I immediately notified the SPECIAL PROSECUTIONS DIVISION of the STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

BERRENA CALLED PERSONALLY ON A "PHONE PATCH," AND THE PHONE NUMBER CAME THROUGH MY CALLER ID, and I still retained this number.  ( I DID COMMUNICATIONS WORK FOR BSO. ) 


Internal Affairs found NOTHING WRONG!  Robshaw was promoted to CAPTAIN.
 IF THIS IS S.O.P. for BSO, SHERIFF KEN JENNE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

THE BLUE WALL OF SILENCE IS ALIVE AND WELL

IF THIS WAS A CAPITOL CRIME (MURDER TRIAL), I WOULD BE DEAD, THANKS TO HOMICIDE DETECTIVE JOHN BERRENA'S REMOVING AND CONCEALING EVIDENCE. (EVIDENCE TAMPERING)
