I am pretty sure there is more than meets the eye in regards to Tiger Hills and R.M. taking a position in Owatonna...and others who have used their credit undesirably. Guess we will just wait for the courts to lay it on the line! NO MERCY!

QUOTE Norman Faces 5 Additional Charges
ALBERT LEA, MN - A former Albert Lea City Manager now faces 8 charges of theft. Jim Norman had already been facing two felony charges as well as a gross misdemeanor for allegedly using a city credit card to make personal charges. After a Friday morning court appearance, Norman now faces five additional felonies. The charges are being split up for each business he used the credit card at. The prosecuting Waseca County Attorney did note that she could have made each credit card charge a separate count, but that the complaint would have likely been too confusing for a jury. The presiding judge signed off on it because he believes the separate counts will be easier for a jury to understand. Norman did have his initial appearance on the 8 charges Friday morning, while he was in the pretrial hearing. Norman's trial was supposed to start January 11, 2011. The case will not go to trial on Tuesday and a contested omnibus will be set within the next 28 days. Last September Norman and the city signed a separation agreement with the city asking for the charges to be dropped. However, the Waseca County Attorney who is prosecuting the case is still seeking a conviction. Norman was hired as City Manager after Victoria Simonsen left the job, he officially started in May 2010. The former city employee has since moved to Wisconsin. He wants a speedy trial in order to move on with his life. The city has questions about $2,300 of moving expenses Norman placed on a city credit card between May and July 2010. KIMT breaking news

That's just unbelievable. He gets a new attorney and gets 5 new felony charges?
I knew this was gonna happen. I told you he'd make the biggest mistake of his life switching lawyers. Lawyers are part of the game. They extract large amounts of money then hand you over to the authorities for further raping. They all share in the spoils. The more things illegal, the more lawyers benefit.

I still think there is a bit of grandstanding going on. It seems as if she is trying to prove some kind of point...most likely that they actually follow thru with charging people. I mean, she acknowledges that she recieved the letter, and is not only going thru with it still, she is adding charges. Makes NO sense to me at all!

New federal prison in Waseca. This is big bidness now for the town. Every hook into a target or prey like Jim is more money into the system that feeds them so well.
Yes, I'd belt up and watch your speed limit anywhere around that city! It's a new world we live in. One that has 20% real unemployment. Mower county has 33,000 residents yet 4500 court cases. 6500 if you count traffic tickets. Get the picture? We've done what Europeans have always done when left to themselves and have turned on each other. Police, jails, prisons and the whole court system depends on prey. Eventually one half the population will jail the other half but the other half will all have jobs. White people turn on each other, it's only natural.
Your next.
It's Brenda Miller the prosecutor in this case. Did you know she filed 10 felony charges against a minister based on the conficting statements of a 15 year old girl about something that was supposed to have happened 2 years prior. The church and the people supported the minister and even collected cash for his defense. In the end the jury found him innocent of all charges. Brenda Miller is one of those young prosecutors who believes it it her duty to convict and then convict some more. She represents the new world order around here. Everybody loves this. The cops, the lawyers, you arseholes. Every other post is about someone getting off to light. YOU WANT this and don't lie because your life is so bad it feels good to see others in worse shape.

What a truly bizarre situation this whole thing is. When you factor in the all of the information surrounding the conduct of the former finance director, and city manager, as well as a select few others involved in local Albert Lea affairs, it is hard to believe that this thing has gotten to this point.
I would think that sufficiently informing the jurors of some the conduct that occurs in Albert lea would be enough to get this thing laughed out of any sane reasonable court.
Plus open up a big payday, for Norman, in the form of suing the city of Albert Lea.
It's a good thing Albert Lea has Paul Sparks to always fall back on to for guidance, though. lol (too sarcastic for the emoticon even)

QUOTE QUOTE I would think that sufficiently informing the jurors of some the conduct that occurs in Albert lea would be enough to get this thing laughed out of any sane reasonable court Get real, how about somebody robs you and someone tells the jury oh it happens all the time dont even think twice about it, let the poor slob get away with it he has learned for his mistake..think they should make a example of him and then go after the the rest
I see what you're trying to say. I would say that this case is significantly different than your scenario though.
