Somehow the escalation of this dispute over the years is a surprise to Michelle Dickerman, as if destroying someone's life over something she knew to be a lie was something she would never have to answer for one day. Only a complete idiot would do the kind of things she did in 2006, and beyond, and not expect it to come back to bite her in the ass in the future. Only someone completely out of touch with reality would have let it go on for so long without at least attempting to do something to work it out. She knew that every bit of this was wrong - a lawyer after all would be completely aware of exactly how wrong it all was. Yet she made the choice to sit back and do nothing to correct the evil she inflicted. Dickerman's arrogance and pigheadedness is not only going to wreck her life in the future one day (and already has as I'll discuss later), but it is going to drag everyone around her down with her.
What hasn't helped my anger over current issues is that during the holidays in December of last year, it became very clear to me from what I saw and heard that I was a topic of discussion among Dickerman's family. Michelle Dickerman definitely saw my December update post, and clearly it has been a discussion among the family. So when I never received any communication while this was happening, I made the obvious assumption that I would be wasting my time writing out any deal offer.
I never believed that Dickerman ever seriously considered taking any deal in the first place, but for the sake of argument let's say that she was contemplating it, and was merely waiting to see what this deal would entail. Had that actually been the case, the smart thing for Dickerman to do would have been to make it known she was willing to deal, regardless of my statement that I intended to wait on what answer I received. Because depending on what was said to me, that probably would have changed my mind on waiting for an answer, and I'd have just posted what I was willing to do to resolve this. Waiting until I became pissed off by having the felony cause issues for me again would obviously not work out.
Granted had things worked out and the felony didn't obstruct me again, I would have been in a much better mood. I would have then finished the post regardless of whether I thought Dickerman would accept it or not. But there was always a good chance that the felony would cause an issue. So the smarter move would have been for Dickerman to get out ahead of it if she had been interested in some sort of resolution to this dispute. Michelle Dickerman is never walking away unscathed after how long she has let this situation go on for - but she could have greatly lessened damage to herself and shielded her family from consequences.
Taking responsibility is a foreign concept for Dickerman however. I knew this woman could give less of a shit about her family, so I never expected her to think of them for one minute. Fessing up to her crimes is the only chance Michelle Dickerman has for her and her family to ever live a normal life. Not to mention the only way she can negate some of the legal repercussions. Especially if Dickerman makes the smart decision to testify against the Charlottesville Prosecution's actions in court. But this will still have some consequences for Dickerman's reputation and career obviously. So this woman would rather see other people around her suffer severely before she ever allowed that to happen. For all her virtue signaling, Michelle Annette Dickerman is out for herself and she'd happily screw over the people close to her so long as it benefited her in the end.
That contact I mentioned however should have been through a lawyer reaching out to me had Dickerman thought of accepting any deal. There is nothing this woman and I will ever have to say to each other after the events of 2006 and the ensuing years. No amount of explanations and excuses will change anything at this point 20 years later, even if she were willing to offer them. The time for any of that was before she walked into the C'ville police station. Then we have the fact that all throughout this dispute, this woman lied to me the handful of times she even bothered to offer explanations and excuses in the past. Very blatant and obvious lies in many cases that I couldn't believe Dickerman ever thought would work out for her. She lied about things that she didn't even need to lie about. So I have no reason to believe anything she says to me.
The legal headbutting between us however has involved some of the worst lies that she's been caught red handed with. The impact of which has been severe and far reaching, and this in turn will have serious consequences for the Manweiler family. Michelle Dickerman even started her victim impact statement with her account on the "history" of this dispute in the past - an account that I can prove to be a lie using her own letters from that time period that completely contradict her words to the court. There were worse lies of course which resulted in harm, and attempted harm, against me by law enforcement acting on her behalf. The fallout from that is the entire reason why this dispute not only still exists decades later, but it is the reason that I'm going to rip apart her life and her family's lives when all this comes out in public.
- Years before Charlottesville, my family (my mother and two younger sisters) were all witnesses to a William & Mary campus cop stating that Dickerman claimed I was following her around the W&M campus with a vehicle and that I was the sole occupant of the vehicle. He even described cars owned by my family that Dickerman claimed she saw, and one of those vehicles were not present the day this officer knocked on the door. This was the first documented incident of Michelle Dickerman lying to police. My family were also witnesses to the cop leaving the house as quickly as possible when he discovered I didn't have a license let alone a vehicle - and thus I couldn't have done what Dickerman claimed. They all remember that incident to this day and they are extremely angry over it and the 2006 events. There was already a discussion I previously had with the older of my two sisters where she expressed a great deal of anger towards Dickerman on this. But a recent talk with the youngest sister really surprised me.
Like I said, my mother and two sisters were witnesses to the W&M cop visit, and they are well aware of every bullshit act that took place in 2006 in Charlottesville. The sheer amount of anger and hate my youngest sister had towards Dickerman as she recounted what she witnessed that day, along with talking about everything my family went through during the 2006 case, was shocking to me. I hadn't realized how much they were all holding in, how much it really affected everyone, especially the youngest. What was done by Michelle Dickerman during the W&M incident and 2006, and how this situation has continued to remain in effect with my record still tarnished and justice not yet done, has had a severe impact on my family members. They vehemently hate Michelle Dickerman and her family for it.
I honestly have concerns about the response both of my sisters would have in a courtroom lobby if Michelle Dickerman were dumb enough to come over to us. My sisters would probably be able to control themselves, but people can make rash decisions in the heat of the moment. I would heavily advise against Dickerman ever approaching my family in a courthouse or the parking lot of said courthouse during the legal process. Not because I care about what happens to Dickerman, but because I don't want to see my sisters in legal trouble for it. They aren't going to approach the Manweilers after I warned them not to, so I would suggest the Manweilers follow the same example. I don't care even if there were claims by her of having good intentions behind walking over to talk - there are no fences to mend here even if the Manweilers were inclined (and I know they're too arrogant to actually want that anyway).
While I wouldn't put it beyond Dickerman to stupidly try to goad my sisters into acting out, this will not help Dickerman in the least when it comes to de-escalating this dispute between us. It would merely have the opposite effect. Nor would her attempts to agitate others into action sound good in the news media when it inevitably hits the public eye. Remember there are plenty of security cameras in a courthouse that will show what Dickerman did first. Nobody would find it acceptable that Dickerman came over to mess with my family members after everything she's done.
Returning to the W&M incident, ample witnesses and documentation exists and can be presented in court to show this officer came to my home to arrest me - including the officer's very own admission to this in old emails I still retain on my email account from back then. Even the media mentioned this incident happening during the early reports on the 2006 case. Ample documentation also exists to show that no arrest took place that day - especially government records which show no arrests ever happened to me until 2006.
So this officer can be proven to have driven from Williamsburg to Hampton, with a Hampton police officer in tow (and a third individual in their car), all with the stated intent to arrest me by Officer Coleman (the W&M officer in question). He stated himself that he was there to arrest me for the physical act of in person stalking. In front of multiple witnesses he claimed Michelle Dickerman accused me of following her around with a vehicle on campus, and attempted to get me to confess to this. He repeatedly demanded that I confess, saying that if I told him "the truth" he could "help" me, but that if I lied he was going to arrest me. Every time I denied going to W&M he claimed it was a lie and again stated he'd have to arrest me if I kept doing it - with his agitation and volume increasing each time.
He barely even brought up email contact, he was focused solely on the claim of stalking. Yet no arrest took place that day, by the government's own records, and the officer was witnessed to leave quickly as soon as he found out about my lack of a driver's license. The entire tone of the confrontation changed instantly the moment he discovered my lack of a driver's license. The officer couldn't get out of the house fast enough. That wouldn't have happened if he was there for any other reason, other than his own stated reason that Dickerman accused me of following her with a vehicle.
Even Michelle Dickerman admits in her 2006 victim impact statement that during this William & Mary "slap fight" no violence ever took place. She says nothing about any threats and doesn't even speak about any stalking. So what exactly would be the reason for an arrest then? Nothing. In her own impact statement Dickerman just whines about getting "scary e-cards" (that's a direct quote from a grown woman's victim impact statement to a court) during W&M. Which were e-cards so scary my youngest sister, who would have been in elementary school at the time, said were "cute" and wanted to send to her friends. A child thought they were "cute" and a supposed grown woman thought they were "scary". I mean, I don't even know what to say at this point when it comes to that. Everyone reading Dickerman's impact statement makes fun of it. The VIS was even dubbed "The Chicken Little Statement" by the inmates in my cell block, but everyone especially makes fun of that "scary e-card" statement.
- Michelle Dickerman would repeat her behavior from her William & Mary days by claiming I went to Charlottesville to her place of residence. A location which I was never aware of nor even bothered to look up online for the roughly seven months of occasional online Myspace contact. A location I still didn't know about even after she eventually got off her ass and whined to police (again, after roughly seven months of her doing nothing). Multiple sources documented this lie from Dickerman: the news media, the courts, law enforcement, and my former attorney in both his notes and tape recordings. All of these sources point to Michelle Dickerman as having made the same exact lie about in-person Charlottesville contact. All of the evidence from these multiple sources can be presented in court to prove Dickerman lied to police.
Even my father stated that Prosecutor Joseph Platania and Detective Nick Rudman told him at the first bond hearing about an accusation from Dickerman. That Michelle Dickerman claimed roughly a month prior to going to police that I had parked outside her Charlottesville home, called her on her personal cell phone (which I had no knowledge of her cell phone number during that time), and reportedly told her I was waiting outside with a gun to kill her. Which of course we're all supposed to believe she then hung up the phone, did not call police, waited until I eventually left, and didn't say anything to law enforcement until at least a month later. Yeah sure. The fact that Platania and Rudman actually believed her statement on this is another piece of evidence proving incompetence/negligence on their part.
Not only do I have evidence and witness accounts showing this travel to Charlottesville was not taking place, but more importantly we have Michelle Dickerman's own accidental admission to that fact in her own victim impact statement. She admits that she was "worried" that I might eventually figure out where she lived and worked in Charlottesville. Well if by your own words you knew I didn't know where you lived and worked in Charlottesville the entire time, then it was obvious that these claims of Charlottesville visitation you made at the beginning of the case never took place. This is a serious criminal act by Michelle Dickerman of course, though not the only one. Her lies about the nonexistent in-person contact resulted in law enforcement acting in a much more aggressive fashion, and had she not made these lies then this case would never have resulted in the extreme damages that it inflicted. Causing both this serious harm and the over-aggressive response by law enforcement was exactly Michelle Dickerman's intention the entire time however and she's going to answer for it.
I have no reason to not believe the words and evidence from those third parties of the past over the word of Michelle Dickerman. If Dickerman uses someone to speak for her and they completely screw it up - who's fault is that exactly? It sure as hell isn't mine when the door had been open for years for her to speak on her own behalf. Had Dickerman tried dislodging her head from her asshole and attempted to speak for herself, then there would be no possible way for there to be any "misunderstandings", especially not ones caused by third parties.
Other people, especially those pulled into this by Michelle Dickerman herself, were always pointing the finger of blame at her. Meanwhile Dickerman refused to listen, refused to talk it out peacefully, acted in increasingly arrogant and nasty ways, and behaved in exactly the same manner that the third parties described. I can't imagine why I took someone else's word over Michelle Dickerman's word. Especially when you have a mix between mostly total dead silence from Dickerman with just a sprinkle of occasional lies dripping with a tone of "begone lowly peasant". Michelle Dickerman is truly one of the great communicators of our time! I can see why she went into the bean counting career that she did and left active courtroom trials behind, given that she's absolutely dogshit as a negotiator and mediator.
Nor would Dickerman get far by enlisting one of her family members or friends to do her dirty work for her in this situation. Having someone like her husband or a friend of hers reach out to me would have been a bad idea. That kind of thing will never go over well with me for reasons I've just discussed. I've had enough of her sending her orbiters to interfere all the time and I'm not playing that game. Having a lawyer speak on her behalf is the only third party communication that wouldn't piss me off. That depends on the content of that lawyer's message of course.
Had her lawyer reached out to make contact and stated that there was a desire to hash out a deal, that would have made me consider that maybe Dickerman was actually serious about resolving the situation. I would have taken that more seriously than if I received a random comment on a blog post by Dickerman asking to talk. Had Dickerman had a lawyer reach out to negotiate back in December/January, I would have been far more willing at that point to consider moving forward on discussion of a deal. In fact had that discussion gone well, it might have softened my anger enough that I potentially would have still gone through with it even after this setback I suffered. The better the discussion had been prior to getting the answer I had been waiting on, the more likely that I'd have taken that setback better and thus still have gone through with any arrangement we had come to.
Instead I'm made aware that the entire time there was a discussion about what I wrote on the blog and website, but unsurprisingly I received nothing except radio silence from Michelle Dickerman. Business as usual. That left me with the only assumption to reasonably make under those circumstances. So when I did finally get an answer and it wasn't a good one, there was no reason for me to not chose the path I'm taking now. If Dickerman had ever entertained the thought to negotiate, she yet again screwed up and picked the wrong option by remaining silent. But as I said earlier, I never seriously entertained any expectation that she'd be smart enough to cut her losses and go for the deal anyway. I've never had reason to believe that the little narcissist wouldn't be willing to drag her entire family down with her. So no amount of me being willing to make a deal to leave them out of this would entice Dickerman to do the right thing for once in her life.
So I wasn't remotely surprised by her silence. It's a common theme with Michelle Dickerman after all, and you'd think by now she'd have learned that silence has only ever made everything worse for herself. Can she name a single instance where any of her previous behavior in this dispute has ever done anything other than escalate things and screw herself over in the process? You would think she'd try something different for once. Her choices have a terrible track record, yet she still keeps to her old ways. You could say the same on my choices of the past as well of course. The difference here is that this is a far more serious situation we both find ourselves in now, and I no longer give a fuck about consequences anymore.
This isn't about a stupid slap fight over drama from the past, that would be a dangerous assumption to make. For her to think she's still dealing with the same situation as she was pre-2006 law enforcement sledgehammer would be the height of stupidity. We've absolutely gone well a truly past that in the worst way possible after the stunt she pulled with the legal system. We're approaching 20 years of my life ruined with a felony I never committed, and there isn't anything that'll give me those years of life back.
This isn't just about Michelle Dickerman and I anymore either. There are plenty of guilty parties here whose lives I want to rip to pieces right along with hers for railroading me into that felony. I've got quite a lot of bad blood to settle with all the guilty parties in this dispute. I don't think Dickerman truly understands how far I'm willing to go to see that done. So the right move on her part was to try to get clear of it to the greatest extent possible and have me focus on fucking up the lives of the other parties instead. All while limiting the damages to herself, and more importantly keeping her family out of the fireworks. But that isn't the decision Michelle Dickerman has made here.
The simple fact is that you don't get to wreck someone's life over a lie, and then be surprised later on that this same individual would want to see everything completely burned in retaliation for the damage she inflicted. You don't get to railroad someone into a felony they didn't commit and expect you're going to see the end of it. This is the truth of the matter regardless of the amount of cope she uses to lie to herself - I was never guilty of that felony. I never threatened physical harm, and her waiting months before doing anything about the emails demonstrates she knew that.
Even the judge handling things in the District Court level said he couldn't find any threats of violence in the emails, and felt strong enough about it that he had an argument with Platania over it. I think if I hadn't taken my former lawyer's dogshit advice by waiving the preliminary hearing, I believe the judge would have tossed the felony charge aside. Saying mean things isn't illegal and it doesn't matter that your feelings got hurt, but given her clear forwarding of the emails to a fake account it's up for debate on what was my writing and what was her "artistic license". The only thing I ever said I'd do was that if she tried the same bullshit she did when at W&M (lying to the cops), that I would ruin her life over it the next time around. Dickerman got caught lying to cops back then and my family and I didn't pursue it in court like we should have. Not a single bit of that involves violence. Dickerman doesn't get to claim she was in fear of her life when:
- She sat on her ass for seven months before doing anything
- Made no attempt to speak up or say a word
- Never even breathed the same air as me until the preliminary hearing
- Never laid eyes on me until said hearing
- I've never laid hands on her, not even to tap her shoulder to get her attention in interactions between us from years before the 2006 criminal case
- I didn't have so much as a parking ticket on my record and no history of violence
- She was completely aware that I never even bothered to find out where she lived in Charlottesville in seven months - by her own admission in court documents. A reasonable person cannot claim to be in fear of their life when they admit the other party never bothered to find their address in the seven months it took Dickerman to actually do anything
- Nothing in the email copies Dickerman supplied to law enforcement say anything about physical violence. As a Hampton magistrate put it when talking with my mother back in 2006 - "I just see a bunch of vague cliche statements from an immature person, this is defensible"
This is entirely a situation that Michelle Dickerman has not only created for herself, but one that she dragged all her family into when originally they had nothing to do with it. This was initially between the two of us as far as I was concerned at the time, but then she had to go and drag third parties into it again - especially her parents - because she doesn't have the backbone to do her own dirty work. Considering the trauma Dickerman and her parents also inflicted on my own family by taking things too far, now everyone around Dickerman is fair game.
As I said, after all the games she's played over the years, and her making no moves to reach out via a lawyer over any potential deals, I'm not bothering to put forward any deals on resolving this with Dickerman and her family. Not after getting fucked over by the felony charge yet again in recent times. I never bothered finishing that post after I got my answer, and my level of anger hasn't diminished either. So I'm moving forward with the intention of showing no mercy when my turn comes up. If Michelle Dickerman wants to potentially change that and shield her family after she reads about what's coming in the future, then she had better get with a lawyer and make contact.
There isn't much I'm willing to agree to right now after I got fucked over again. It's going to be on her lawyer to reach out and convince me why I should, especially while I haven't committed to a course of action right at this moment. Understandably I won't be holding my breath while waiting for a phone call that isn't coming.
I have zero expectation that Dickerman is smart enough to try to find a way out of this. The arrogance she operates under will first have to be shattered by something really bad before she's suddenly willing to reach an agreement with me, and unfortunately for her when that time comes I won't be listening. As I said in the warning post, whatever she thinks of my chances, they aren't zero. Especially not with some of the additional steps I'll be discussing. If Dickerman wants to roll the dice, she should consider that it won't just be her that suffers if it goes wrong for her.
Reason Behind the Delays
This post has been a long time in the making and there are a few reasons for that. For one thing you can already see it's a pretty big wall of text. There was a lot to talk about here, and as I usually do I veered off on a tangent a number of times before getting back on track. It's also hard to find the motivation to work on this post when I have a lot of other things going on. Especially when it comes to work and the contract I'm on. Writing about the 2006 events also isn't something that I enjoy doing. A lot of anger is dredged up every time I start getting into this stuff for obvious reasons, and having a recent setback caused by the felony doesn't help that situation. So I had to leave this post alone for periods of time before coming back to it. That's probably going to create issues with the flow of it, since you're reading something put together piece by piece over a few months, but at least it's finally finished.
The mention of the setback is also another reason for the delays. The answer I had been waiting for was delayed from when I was originally told to expect it. It was similar to the situation I experienced with the headhunter agency and company that I previously discussed here. That first situation being that I had to wait way too long after multiple promptings before finally being ghosted by both agency and company, after I had previously been offered a job and they were supposed to send me the paperwork to start.
One of the ways the current situation differs with that experience however is that I wasn't ghosted and left to make an educated guess. I did receive a long-delayed answer, although I had already expected what that answer would be after waiting for so long. Also, unlike before, I am not just making an educated guess on whether the felony had anything to do with the answer (or lack thereof) that I received in the end. I was presented with proof this time that the felony had everything to do with why I ended up getting the answer that I did. Proof good enough to submit in court.
Despite it being classified as a non-violent felony, one in which no physical contact ever occurred, people read the horrible sounding title of the charge and immediately assume the worst. Doesn't matter that it was stupid internet shit, and that Michelle Dickerman and I hadn't even breathed the same air until the preliminary hearing. People see a felony with an ugly title and to them I look like I've got a teardrop prison tattoo on my face. So no, it didn't work out like I hoped this time. Granted I can always try again in the future (and I will) and see about getting a different result. As more time passes it's likely that a different set of eyes will be looking over my paperwork and with different people in positions that make the calls. But that's the key issue here - more time passing. Almost 20 years later and I'm still being impacted negatively in considerable ways by the felony.
Naturally this is going to end up being another item added to the list of substantial damages incurred by the actions of Michelle Dickerman, Gregory & Carole Manweiler, and the Charlottesville law enforcement. It's a drop in a bucket that's already overflowing of course, but getting a negative answer here has thrown a wrench into my plans. All of this will cost Michelle Dickerman and her family and I'm not talking financial cost, though that will be a problem for them as well. There is no maybe on the fact that the Manweilers will answer for what they did in 2006. It's all a matter of when and how it happens.
As I said, this setback has caused some issues with plans that I had. Not with going to court over this dispute, as my intentions on the legal side of this is still going forward as before, but with a few additions and a bit more delays. This setback has instead caused issues with plans outside of the legal arena. I'm not going to abandon any of those plans obviously and will just simply have to try again another time. But there are some changes I was looking towards that now have to be canceled or pushed back. On top of already having to set a lot of things aside in order to focus on the upcoming legal battle.
A good example of some of the plans that keep getting delayed because of this legal issue, is that I had at one point thought of moving to West Virginia, potentially near the VA state line around Winchester VA. I wanted a quiet homestead-style life working remotely, along with the access to off-roading that comes with living in a mountain state. I'm still planning on that one day, but obviously none of that is happening anytime soon now. But I'll be 45 this year and I'm still having to push back improving and moving forward with my life because of what these people did to me. These pieces of shit have ripped away my best years and I'm not getting any younger. So I intend on ripping away everything they've ever worked for in retaliation for that. The more the clock ticks away for me, the more painful I'm going to have to make it for them in the end.
This is an interview with Bug Hall by a Catholic podcast I regularly follow.
Hall left Hollywood and substance abuse behind to live off-grid in his own homestead
and be as self-sufficient as possible. He went further with it than I intend on going,
but I completely respect his commitment to that path.
and be as self-sufficient as possible. He went further with it than I intend on going,
but I completely respect his commitment to that path.
As for the mentioning of off-roading, that is another part of my plans getting delayed. I would love to take part in something more substantial than what I've been doing, but a vehicle that is fairly stock right now can only do so much. I'd love to get the new vehicle modified the way I need it to be but I have to delay doing this for an indeterminate amount of time. It would be irresponsible in the extreme to drop quite a lot of money on modifying a vehicle when I have plans for legal challenges down the road. So that's something else that I could be doing to enjoy life, and yet that has to be put in a holding pattern because I have to deal with this bullshit with Michelle Dickerman. The more time I have to wait before getting this legal stuff resolved, the less time I have available to do the things I want, as the bell tolls for age 50 and above. All the lost opportunities and life experiences due to the damages inflicted on me are yet another thing Dickerman will pay a price for when it's time to settle up.
An example of the kind of things I'd love to do but have
to put on hold until this legal crap is done. This was the 24 hour
"Mothman Rally", an off-road endurance race across the mountains of West Virginia for charity.
Speaking of the move plans I had, it is ironic honestly is that Michelle Dickerman's actions in 2006 are the very thing keeping me around her 'neck of the woods'. Everything Dickerman has done to me is the entire reason I'm still having to live around her. Even when I want to leave I end up not being able to do so. Because of the felony the only company in my field that would hire me in 2011 operated out of Arlington. After that place went bankrupt the only company I got hired by again had their HQ in Arlington. In turn I clearly have to stick around the NOVA area to get work, since I obviously can't count on getting a job elsewhere that would allow me to pack up and move.
Because of how concentrated the engineering firms are around here I have to stay in the NOVA area. It is 'accuracy by volume' in a way, because even if a couple turn me down there are so many of them that at least one among them has a decent chance of hiring me. The felony limits my options to the extent that trying to jump to another company is very risky (case in point), and I can't push my luck in moving out of the area to a location that just has one or two firms available.
Companies that do full-time remote work (meaning not a hybrid situation like I have right now) help out with this problem. Except they are highly sought after in my field and not as common, because many engineering firms have long established physical offices with special equipment and they aren't willing to give that up. So given that so many people want the 100% remote engineering jobs, why would a company want to hire a felon when there are plenty of applicants to pick from who don't have a criminal record? The answer is pretty clear and it's yet another example of Dickerman's complete lack of any kind of common sense. It was blatantly obvious to everyone but Michelle Dickerman back in 2006, but railroading me into a felony I never committed meant that Dickerman would never see peace in her life. If she seriously wanted to move on from the events of 2006, Dickerman should have thought better about taking it as far as she did.
For the near future at least, I'm split between an apartment in Falls Church and staying with family in the Hampton Roads area. Especially on this project, which requires me to interface in person with the clients we're subcontracting under more than I've had to do before (barring a couple years very early in my hiring at the old company where I had to work onsite with the USCG). The clients on this project have two offices - the main office in Maryland and a second one in Chesapeake. I also have to interface with Government employees in DC. Not to mention I do still have to show my face in the Arlington office once in awhile. Because of how concentrated the engineering firms are around here I have to stay in the NOVA area. It is 'accuracy by volume' in a way, because even if a couple turn me down there are so many of them that at least one among them has a decent chance of hiring me.

This requires me to go back and forth between Northern VA and the Tidewater area. It's actually because of having ties to the area that put me in a position where I was asked to do this kind of interfacing. Since go to the area a lot anyway because of having family there, it was natural that I got selected. I'm not in a position to say no given my situation obviously. I have already been spending a decent split on average between the two locations anyway so at least it wasn't putting me out quite a bit. Being split between locations more often now has forced certain changes however.
Since I have two vehicles now I usually leave one vehicle in Falls Church and one with family, and I travel between the two areas on Amtrak because I don't have to deal with I-95 parking lots or put so much unnecessary miles on my vehicles (which is what caused so much wear and tear on my old car). Admittedly I have a bit of the train autism as well so I find the ride enjoyable at least. I also have a roommate in Falls Church that I've known for a long time to offset the cost of the Falls Church location and she's well aware of my situation. Having someone sharing the property with me is the reason I'm able to keep my name off that address, and it helps the roommate out as well given the housing costs in the area. There's a reason I want to keep my address private in NOVA, and I probably will explain at least a little bit more as to why later. I have to have a residence listed somewhere however, so I have my residence set to the Hampton Roads area currently. This has created a bit of an issue, in fact it's an additional reason for why I didn't feel like bothering with the blog post for awhile.
The restoration a few years back of the rights I lost as a felon, that I had until now wanted to keep secret, has resulted in some inconveniences recently. I didn't bother registering to vote because for one thing I didn't care anymore, and the other more important issue is that I didn't want to get picked for jury duty. I didn't realize however that Virginia changed their laws on this. I had spent a long time without the ability to serve on a jury due to the felony charge, and yet suddenly I not only get picked for jury duty for the first time after having the right restored for a few years, but I also get pulled into what the Jury Coordinator told us would be "an unusually long term of service". Gee thanks. Meanwhile one of my sisters has never been called to Jury duty even in her 40s, and her ability to be a juror has been intact her entire adult life.
I had to deal with that for some time, calling in every week on a specific day to see if I'd have to serve the next day or whether I was clear for the week. So I spent a much longer stint in the area than I normally would have, because there was no telling whether I would have jury duty on any given week. My work was fine with cooperating on that although it's not like either of us had a choice. Surprisingly (and thankfully) I've only been made to come in twice despite the really long service term. Which I'm certainly happy about that lack of time spent there. I understandably don't like being in a courtroom considering what happened during my first experience in them.
The first time I was called in, the scheduled trial was eventually postponed after hours of waiting. The guy was representing himself and there were a lot of problems because of this apparently. The second time I was called in there were two trials scheduled that day. For the second trial of the day, I wasn't picked due to them finding enough jurors so I was "overflow".
The first trial however, I was specifically singled out with a couple others as being rejected for serving on that jury. When the judge asked certain questions of us jurors, one question was whether you were a felon and the next one was whether you had your rights restored. I was forced to raise my hand in full view of the courtroom - the only one in the jury pool that answered yes to the felony question. Just about every person in the jury pool and the handful of people in the public seating area looked at me.
The prosecutor however took the most notice of me immediately when I raised my hand. My answer to the felony question, and the fact I said I wasn't comfortable with the subject matter of the trial, are probably why I didn't get picked. Granted I wasn't the only one who said I was uncomfortable, and some of those people who gave the same answer still remained on that jury. So it was probably a combination of the felony and being uncomfortable. Had I been picked I would have tried to do the best I could to get it right, but I certainly wasn't complaining when they told me I could go back to the jury assembly room.
At least I've been done with that now for a while, and I shouldn't get picked again for a couple years. I clearly avoided registering to vote for no reason since they changed juror registration to being connected with getting a driver's license. So I went ahead and registered to vote since I got picked for jury duty anyway. Maybe I'll vote in local elections but I can't say I care all that much. My lack of caring these days after not being able to vote for so long doesn't get Michelle Dickerman off the hook for damages however.
Voting rights, gun rights, juror eligibility - even when restored that does not mean that Dickerman doesn't owe damages for the fact that I didn't have access to them for a long time. Just because some of those rights aren't something I care about exercising now, doesn't mean that Dickerman gets away with having deprived me of them for so long. There was after all a long time where voting did matter to me. I was essentially a second class citizen for a quite some time, and even with my rights restored I still have the second class citizen "Felon" label. There will be a reckoning one day for that.
Returning back to the living situation and discussing Dickerman's stupid decisions. Needless to say I have to currently remain at least part-time in Falls Church when I honestly would rather be elsewhere. So the felony has been keeping me in Dickerman's local area. As I've said many times before, that's just one bit of fallout from Michelle Dickerman's stupid choices that she never bothered to consider back in 2006. I think it's a little bit of "karma" if you will, that the only places that have been willing to hire me as a felon so far, are all places with headquarters in Arlington (which Falls Church is adjacent to).
Not that I'd rather live in the Hampton Roads area either since that area has been a sinking ship for a long time. If it wasn't for family I wouldn't bother with the Tidewater area at all. But I'd have a hell of a lot more options available to me if I didn't have a felony on my record for almost 20 years. After all these years, I wouldn't be in northern Virginia, or even Virginia at all, if it wasn't for that felony on my record. The felony she fabricated evidence for is bringing me repeatedly into close proximity to Michelle Dickerman when otherwise I would be living elsewhere.
While the negative response I received is a setback, it's one I'm going to have to set aside as I now focus on not only getting back my life, but also proceed with fucking up other lives that have had it coming. At least I can say I don't have any issues with my current employer at the moment. The project I've been working on went from the prototype competition stage to a full awarding, which is why things got so busy, so I've been told to expect our role to run anywhere from two to three years. Out of a group of four systems designers that were originally assigned to my team, I've ended up being the last man standing on that team since we originally started this project. They've had problems getting anyone else to replace those employees that left until finding one guy recently.
So management isn't going to complain about having a felon employed with them when they can't find people to fill out a four man team. Let alone find people to replace the felon who for most of the project has been doing half of the systems work assigned to a team of four. That said however, there is something that is going to come up down the road with this project that does involve background investigations. That's a very big problem and I guess I'll see how that pans out. I might be making a wrong assumption on how secure my employment actually is in the near future. If I do end up back in that situation of being unemployed and struggling to get hired because of the felony, well I've already made my decision long ago of where things are going at that point.
Getting back to the legal stuff, as the title should have suggested I'm going into this to shred everyone's lives. A proverbial salting of the earth. I see no reason now in discussing solutions for damage mitigation. I've just had the felony rob me yet again and cause a big setback for no good reason, and there is always the potential for more setbacks in the future before this dispute finally reaches whatever end is in store for the both of us. I don't see any reason why Michelle Dickerman and her father Gregory Manweiler shouldn't have their livelihoods and reputations glassed with a nuke for everything they have done.
If things work out in my favor in the legal system, why should Dickerman and her father get off lightly while everyone else is left holding the bag here? It is true that Platania, Chapman, Rudman, and Johnson all rightfully deserve severe punishment for their actions, their corruption, and their negligence/incompetence. They however are far from the only ones who did wrong in 2006, and the Manweiler family deserves to get lit up just as much as those other parties. It can be successfully argued even that the punishment should be far more severe for the Manweilers.
Yes, the Charlottesville law enforcement were in positions of authority and should have known better than to have behaved in the manner that they did. But if Michelle Dickerman hadn't misrepresented the situation, C'ville law enforcement would not have been placed into that position in the first place. If Michelle Dickerman hadn't tampered with the email evidence, Charlottesville would not have responded in the way they did, not by a long shot. Hell if Michelle Dickerman had a spine in the first place and tried handling her own business for a change all of this would have been over long ago. The coward has never been able to face anyone that gives her even the slightest bit of pushback to her bullshit, and so she has always been slimy enough to get others to inflict harm for her. She isn't the only one in the family like that either.
I am fully convinced that Gregory Manweiler, Dickerman's father, did things behind the scenes in order to push law enforcement into taking things too far. Especially after recently finding out that he grew up in Charlottesville. While C'ville has a history of corrupt behavior, especially with UVA students, Greg Manweiler likely contacted people in high positions that he knew personally in order to get them to apply even more pressure to the prosecution. This in turn led to law enforcement to inflicting more damage than they would have otherwise. Even with the UVA student status problem in Charlottesville, Platania and Chapman still took things too far and too personally. It went above and beyond anything remotely reasonable.
The only explanation behind how far things went is Greg Manweiler getting outside influence involved to lean on Charlottesville law enforcement. His daughter received a disgusting level of special treatment - far in excess of what any average citizen would receive. The Manweilers know this. Even her husband and his family know this. When the prosecutor admits in court that I was being given penalties that haven't been given to child molesters and rapists in Charlottesville's history, it's blatantly clear to everyone what took place here. I got punished worse for emails than a rich UVA student (Andrew Alston) got for stabbing a man to death. I think Greg Manweiler also provided incentives for my former lawyer William Johnson to throw the case. Either by providing cash under the table, or promising other favors and benefits. Granted Michelle Dickerman could have always just slept with Platania and my former lawyer (as female family and friends suggest) given how both men behaved with Dickerman. But I think it's more likely that Gregory Manweiler probably handed a bunch of cash to Johnson.
So I'm absolutely going to ensure that both Michelle Dickerman, her father, and her family get ripped apart from the fallout of all of this. I see no reason why any of them should get left out of this after everything that happened. No matter how this situation turns out for me I intend on making the Manweilers lose bad in the end. I'm tired of this bullshit and I'm sick of how many years of my life have been wasted because of this woman, her father, and the incompetent trash in Charlottesville.
I'll be 45 this year. I was 25 when I was hauled up to Charlottesville under the cover of night, so that C'ville PD could lie to the media the next day and claim I was arrested in Charlottesville. I was 26 when I finally walked out of jail with a felony I never committed, and hammered with penalties that even Platania admitted in court had never been given to anyone "in the history of the Charlottesville Circuit Court". All because of a stupid internet slap fight, the lies of a narcissistic woman, and her status as a rich UVA student in a city that is the most corrupt in the state of Virginia. When even members of law enforcement wince when told it was Charlottesville that was doing the prosecution, you know something is very wrong in that city. Now for almost 20 years I've lived with that false felony charge and have had setback after setback from it. And all the while, the woman that lied to cause it to happen just sat back in her seat and watched it happen, knowing full well she could have done something to change that.
I'll never have a wife and kids, as the trauma inflicted on me is permanent and it wouldn't be right for me to make that someone else's problem. I would have liked to have met the kids I could have had but that ship has sailed long ago. No matter how badly I fuck up the lives of the people who harmed me, the derailment of my life is permanent and it can never be made right. So I look very forward to settling the ledger between me and the guilty parties in the future regardless of the method or the timeframe. Doesn't matter if I have to wait 10 months or 10 years - these "people" are answering for what happened no matter how things proceed in the legal arena.
I've already mentioned what I had been willing to go along with on any deal in prior writings. But as I was preparing and refining the deal post prior to getting my answer, I had added some things that hadn't been discussed. I'm not going to discuss the rest of the deal because it's completely irrelevant, but one thing I had added is very pertinent now. If we had come to an agreement, so long as Dickerman held up her end of the deal the situation would be considered resolved for good once the final gavel fell.
Once all this was over, after my lawyer kicked in some heads in Charlottesville, I wanted to walk away to a quiet life and never hear the name Manweiler again. It would have taken time before everything in the legal system had finished up and the public moved on to something else. But after that initial birthing pain everyone involved could have moved on with their lives. Even if anyone had attempted to interview me years after everything got wrapped up, so long as the rest of the guilty parties never opened their mouths I would refuse to talk about the Manweilers or the legal situation with anyone.

As long as the Manweilers and the people around them had kept their mouths shut, Michelle Annette Dickerman and her family would have never heard from me again. I sure as hell would not have wanted to hear from them ever again either. Not even if Dickerman had a terminal illness and decided she suddenly wanted to clear the slate with me to satisfy her own guilty conscience before the end. Granted I don't believe that scenario would ever occur even if the clock was running out on her life. This woman doesn't have the capacity for introspection, and taking responsibility for her actions is anathema to her. If hell did happen to freeze over though and she did attempt it, I would still have no interest in giving her that clean conscience, nor in entertaining her inflated ego regardless of the circumstances.
Before you think I'm being too harsh to someone who unrepentantly destroyed my life over a lie.
I don't believe for one minute that this woman would ever truly accept she did something evil even when she was on death's door. I don't believe that any claims by Dickerman of feeling remorse would ever be genuine. If this woman was capable of introspection and feelings of remorse for her evil acts, she would have at least done something to repair some of the damage long ago. We wouldn't be sitting here almost 20 years later with me still having a felony she lied and manipulated to bring about. There is no way to make any of this right short of a time machine, but repairing what damage she could over a decade ago would have gone a hell of a long way towards correcting some of the harm. Michelle Dickerman letting this evil shit go on into our 40s has only made it impossible to course correct now.
That refusal to reverse as much of the harm as she possibly could, more than anything else, tells you exactly the kind of person Michelle Dickerman really is deep down. Do not forget that Dickerman is a lawyer - she knew there were options to repair some of that damage. She just refused to do anything, even as she just watched while I was unable to get employment due to the felony. I imagine the media, the court of public opinion, and a criminal/civil jury, would all want to know why Dickerman just sat back and watched rather than fix anything. There are plenty of ways she could have reversed some of the harm done, she has had those options for years, and some of those options didn't even require her confessing to her crimes. As a lawyer Dickerman knew this.
Yet even with there being options that wouldn't have a personal impact or legal liability to her - Michelle Annette Dickerman still refused to do it. That is terrible optics and it isn't going to look good in the public eye. Not to mention that it'll also reflect very badly on the people around Dickerman that have been supporting her actions all these years. It would be in the best interest of those around Dickerman to not voice support of her publicly when things finally kick off. Because that support isn't going to work out too well for you when people see all the evil shit this woman was involved with in 2006 - evil shit that you all refused to acknowledge for years.
I can prove this woman fabricated emails using the very evidence she gave to cops. I've provided some of that proof, and it's her own damn evidence she gave to police. I can prove she lied in her impact statement to the court about past events, using her own hand written letters from that time period. Again I've provided that evidence here. I can prove she destroyed evidence at the start of the case, and as a lawyer she would have known better. I provided some of that proof as well. I can prove she lied to cops and the courts about Charlottesville contact, and she accidentally admitted that Charlottesville contact was a lie in her own victim impact statement. I once again put evidence of that on the blog. I have my former lawyer admitting to all the corruption and bad behavior by law enforcement in his notes and on tape recordings - actions committed on Dickerman's behalf, and all done with her full knowledge and consent.
I can prove that critical evidence had convenient "accidents" during my case. Again, some of that has been posted here. I have even posted emails from the prosecution admitting to some of the evil and corrupt things they did on Dickerman's behalf - and the prosecutors have never been shy to point the finger of blame at Dickerman and her parents. Yet some of you flying monkeys orbiting Dickerman have refused to accept that she and her parents did anything wrong. You're going to want to sit this one out when all of this goes public in the future - because it's really not going to be a good look for you.
Returning to Dickerman, any pretense of remorse by her or any apologies would all just be performative theater on Dickerman's part, and I wouldn't have any interest in taking part in that theater. I'm (reluctantly) fine with forgiving someone like Dickerman after they've answered for what they've done, but that doesn't mean they are entitled to my time or consideration afterwards. Not even if Dickerman were to show up at my door one day with a chemo bag taped to her rotting arm. There is no doubt in my mind that this woman will happily let me go to my grave with a felony she knows I was innocent of the entire time, so I see no reason why I shouldn't let her take her guilt to her final resting place. Dickerman could instead pray to whatever God she believed in for absolution because she would never hear anything like that from me. Michelle Dickerman's only God is money however and I don't expect that fiat currency would listen to those kind of prayers.

The faster everything was resolved, the faster Dickerman could have moved on with her life and never have to look over her shoulder again. I would have refused interviews after everything was over, and never discussed the issue again afterwards so long as all the guilty parties walked away as well. All of the websites would have been taken down, and I would have been perfectly happy with all of this nonsense disappearing from everyone's radar after the final court proceedings were finished. I wanted to be done with this shit. That's of course not happening now.
That was one of the 'carrot' parts of the deal, I think the rest of the carrots having already been mentioned in previous posts. I've summarized this part of it right now because by the time I got around to fleshing it out I had my answer. But there was a 'stick' part to that as well. The stick, which will now be applied, is that had Michelle Dickerman not taken the deal and refused to come forward to confess and clear my name - she would never know peace in her life even after legal proceedings were over with.
The only possible way I'd consider letting these people ever have peace from this is if I got everything I wanted from the criminal justice system. We're talking serious and horrible penalties for everyone involved. Getting exactly what I want from the legal system involves a great deal more consequences for Michelle Dickerman than she'd have received for just fessing up to everything. Very substantial penalties applied to the high level I want however is unlikely to occur. So I in turn don't see the option for Dickerman and her family getting peace unless she actually came forward to admit her guilt. I remember in her overdramatic victim impact statement that she said that for all she knows I may never want her to live in peace. Did this idiot really think I'd ever want her to have peace after she denied it to me and my family? After everything she had Charlottesville law enforcement do to me? Let's recap here why peace isn't deserved.

Let's recap here why peace isn't deserved.
Michelle Annette Dickerman went to C'ville PD with lies and fabricated evidence. Charlottesville took every abuse out on me that they could get away with for her benefit. They railroaded me out of every legal right and threatened me with State sponsored physical violence if I didn't go along with it. This isn't an exaggeration given Chapman's threat that he'd ensure I got sent to the most violent prison in the area if I refused to plead guilty. There is only one possible reason you would threaten something like that, and everyone reading this knows exactly what it involves. It was a threat of violence - both potential life ending violence along with even potential sexual assault violence - all from a government official acting solely on behalf of Michelle Annette Dickerman and Gregory Manweiler. You don't make that kind of threat as a prosecutor without knowing exactly what kind of violence that entails for someone. So Platania and Chapman can't play dumb here - they were using violent inmates as a way to coerce and threaten me into giving up my rights and they knew it.
I was forced by threats from both the prosecution and my former lawyer into pleading guilty and hammered by excessive penalties on top of that. For emails sent to a woman that didn't so much as breathe the same air as me until the preliminary hearing. I got punished far harsher for emails than a rich UVA student in Charlottesville got for stabbing a man to death. FOR FUCKING EMAILS.
Emails that I can prove Dickerman was forwarding to a fake account made to look like mine, giving her every ability to modify them. Emails that she split individual pages up by writing fake dates on the printouts, thus falsely inflating the number of emails that she had received. I was railroaded over printouts that exhibited blatant tampering. The original emails were then destroyed by Michelle Dickerman the moment she heard of my arrest. The emails had been sent to her Myspace profile, and Michelle Dickerman removed her profile the moment of my arrest. This was an act that Michelle Dickerman knew would destroy the original emails on BOTH of our accounts - as I will demonstrate. But first, here is some of the proof demonstrating that she took this action right after my arrest, and keep in mind what you see here isn't the extent of the evidence backing up this action. Multiple sources documented and witnessed this criminal act of evidence destruction being committed by Michelle Dickerman.
 |
| Recorded in my former lawyer's notes on what Michelle Dickerman told him at the protective order hearing at the start of the case. He also admits she told him this on tape recordings I possess. |
 |
| From a news report on the case at the very start. My mother saw this, saved the article, and then verified for herself that Michelle Dickerman had indeed deleted her profile |
As I said, this criminal act is documented by multiple sources. Michelle Dickerman knew that by doing this act it would wipe out emails that were on her profile as well as on my profile. It was a deliberate and calculated criminal act on her part, because Dickerman and I had already encountered this happening to emails months before she deleted the profile. She even admitted to the prosecutors that this first deletion event happened, so Dickerman cannot play dumb about not being aware that taking her Myspace profile down would cause the deletion of criminal evidence. The emails Dickerman supplied to law enforcement show evidence of tampering by her, thus we have the appearance of a crime committed by Michelle Dickerman. This deletion of emails by taking down her Myspace account would just so happen to hide anything illegal Dickerman had actually done. That's not looking so good for Michelle Dickerman. It looks worse however when I show further evidence below taken from my former attorney's notes. I'll explain what all of it means both on the image and below it.
This note, as mentioned on its labeling in the picture above, was already written by my lawyer when he returned from the District Attorney's office to meet with me at the jail. Which means that prosecutor Joseph Platania had been made aware of this incident by Michelle Dickerman and told my lawyer of this incident. Which means that Dickerman clearly remembered this incident from back in February and told this to C'ville law enforcement. C'ville law enforcement recorded that Dickerman had told them this, and then relayed that information to my former attorney when he showed up at the DA's office the afternoon prior to the hearing to finally look at evidence (after having a month to do so and not making any attempt).
So Michelle Dickerman was completely aware that removing her Myspace profile would delete the emails on her end. Because she clearly remembered it happening before, recalling it months later when she made this statement to C'ville law enforcement. That initial incident also deleted all emails on my end when the block happened, because once again Myspace messages existed as a link between two profiles. If you break the link between profiles in any way, the email messages exchanged between them then cease to exist. This incident is part of the evidence proving Dickerman was forwarding emails to a fake account made to look like mine, as I explain my email evidence posts that you can find in the most viewed posts list.
I had been the one to tell Dickerman to go ahead and block my main profile, and I discovered that she did indeed follow my instruction afterwards when all of the emails sent to her on my end suddenly disappeared from my sent messages folder. Once again, breaking the link between profiles on Myspace, whether blocking or taking down one of the profiles, results in all messages between those profiles being deleted on both profiles. After I discovered this I had then sent a message to Michelle Dickerman where I mentioned that this deletion happened on my end. I didn't have any idea at the time that Dickerman would take that information and later do the most insane shit she'd ever pull in her life. Had I known that Dickerman was insane enough to fabricate and hide evidence, I'd have never been in contact with her in the first place, let alone informing her about something that could be used to hide evidence of her crimes. Very hard lesson learned.
What all this means, however, is that Dickerman was not only well aware that taking down her profile would dispose of the email evidence on her end, but she also was well aware that it disposed of evidence on my end as well. Dickerman knew that she would not only dispose of original evidence in her own inbox, but by taking down her profile she would also dispose of any original evidence in my sent messages folder. Thus preventing me from obtaining exculpatory evidence that would reveal her criminal acts during the 2006 case.
As a lawyer Michelle Dickerman knew that this deletion of emails through her deliberate act would be clear destruction of evidence during a criminal investigation. She knew she was depriving me of exculpatory evidence with this act. Dickerman as a lawyer knew her actions were a clear cut a criminal act. Even my former lawyer said on tape recordings that Dickerman admitted to him that she did this act, and his comment on the tape recording was "She was wrong, she shouldn't have done that".
This crime along with her fabricating and tampering of the emails, was a calculated series of criminal acts on the part of Michelle Annette Dickerman, and it has had devastating consequences for my life for going on 20 years now. Her crimes inflicted serious harm to both my financial situation and my career (both in 2006 and decades beyond), physical harm, and certainly mental and emotional trauma.
Given the threats by the Charlottesville prosecution to send me to the most violent prison in the area if I refused to cave to their threats against my civil rights (who state in emails and documentation that this was done at the prompting of Dickerman and her parents) - Michelle Dickerman and her parents were directly involved in a situation that could have even resulted in the loss of my life. Had I attempted to fight a rigged system and ended up in that violent prison, I might not have walked back out of there.
For government officials to state that they will deliberately send me to a very violent prison, as a way of depriving me of my civil rights and covering up Dickerman's crime, is an extremely serious act that I can't imagine wouldn't earn criminal charges for all those involved. There can only be one reason behind intentionally sending someone to the "most violent prison in the region" - the message and intent is clearly to inflict serious violence on the person you are threatening. Everyone knows what is said to happen in prison - that common knowledge was the reason for making the threat in the first place. This was a threat of violence by every definition and standard available, and again it was done by government officials in order to not only violate someone's civil rights, but also done to hide evidence of another party's criminal acts. Those government officials directly pointed the finger at the Manweiler family as to why it was all happening. To have a government official do all of what they did on the behalf of the Manweiler family is an extremely serious issue, one that the Manweilers won't be able to escape from when all this goes public.
The silence of the Manweilers, and their refusal to provide any remedy or relief all these years, means that they cannot claim they were not in complete and total agreement with everything the prosecution did to me in this case. If the Manweilers, especially Michelle Dickerman, ever disagreed with the actions of the prosecutors there were steps they could have taken to undo some of that damage. The Manweilers didn't want to undo the damage, because the inflicting of that damage was always their intention in the first place. The prosecution blames them for what happened, and their own refusal to fix anything only confirms what the prosecution was accusing them of doing.
That refusal to correct a blatant and obvious evil, along with all the evidence proving they've been witness to what was done in their name the entire time (all laid out in this blog), is going to get them ripped to shreds publicly. Neither Dickerman nor her parents can ever claim innocence with any part of what happened. They have had full knowledge of everything that was done, along with knowing all about the effects of the damage they inflicted. Platania even wrote in an email that the prosecution was deliberately manipulating things to keep me in confinement well beyond what I should have spent - and he was thankfully stupid enough to oblige me by stating that Michelle Dickerman and her parents were behind this act. All fingers were being pointed at the Manweiler family - from the prosecution, the courts, and my former counsel. The Manweilers also watched me be unable to get a job due to the felony after all this had been concluded, and they never lifted a finger the entire time - always keep that in mind.
I honestly don't think that Michelle Dickerman has ever truly considered just how serious of a lawsuit this entire thing could turn into for her and her parents. We're talking bankruptcy and home foreclosure here. Going into bankruptcy cannot be used as a way to discharge a judgement involving injury you caused to a party as I understand it. I don't think I'm incorrect when I say that this has the capacity to be a permanent state of financial insolvency.
I've seen people successfully sue someone and then not financially collect on successful judgements. Billy Mitchell is one example that I've heard of having not collected in some of his lawsuits, instead merely being satisfied with having the evidence of a successful court judgement rather than financially ruining his opponent. The thing is, I've been given no reasons to ever consider showing mercy with Michelle Dickerman and her parents - and I don't expect to ever be given a reason.
Certainly if she forces me to financially commit to hiring a lawyer to restore my life and name, neither Michelle Dickerman nor her parents can ever expect that I'd take a page from Mr. Mitchell's example. I have zero issues with showing my enemies the exact same mercy they've shown me. They can receive forgiveness after they bite the curb. If I have to go through all this legal bullshit because Dickerman refuses to take responsibility for what she inflicted in 2006, then it is absolutely game on if I get that felony vacated. If I get the media involved and the felony vacated, I'm burning down everything around the Manweilers. And it wouldn't end there.
The Manweilers would also be the party getting the worst of it no matter what. Charlottesville couldn't care less how much money gets tossed away in a civil judgement, because as I understand it cities have insurance on such things. Even if Platania and Chapman lose their qualified immunity, they may have the malpractice insurance coverage that I've heard lawyers have. My former attorney William Johnson would almost certainly have such insurance. Even former detective Nick Rudman would likely have his legal judgement paid by the city or the police union.
Whether insurance refuses or drops them is another thing entirely that we can't predict. But I don't think something like lawsuit insurance exists for the Manweiler family. Even if there was such a thing I think the facts of this case, especially Dickerman committing criminal acts with false statements and evidence tampering, would cause such insurance to refuse payout. Which means that the Manweilers are the only guilty parties here that have the potential to be financially ruined if the felony gets vacated in some way. You can bet the prosecutors and Charlottesville will do everything in their power to pin all the blame on Michelle Dickerman and her parents, which would then be used in the civil trial to ensure the Manweilers pay a high price for their actions.
It is provable in court that I would be further along in my professional development had I not spent years unable to be employed after being railroaded into the false felony charge. I could have moved on to companies that paid better had I not been concerned about the felony creating employment issues - which is exactly what it ended up doing. Not to mention the mental and emotional trauma that Michelle Annette Dickerman, and her parents Greg and Carole Manweiler, inflicted on both me and my immediate family members by these actions. If it ends up being possible for my immediate family to file lawsuits against Michelle Dickerman and her parents for the trauma inflicted, I would certainly encourage them to do so, though I have no assumptions that this will be possible regardless of how necessary it is.
The evidence she herself supplied to law enforcement says Dickerman tampered with and even potentially fabricated every bit of the evidence used against me. Her act of evidence deletion would also conveniently help hide any criminal act on her end from investigators. Dickerman had full knowledge as a lawyer that deleting evidence wasn't acceptable or allowed, and knew what this evidence deletion would look like to a reasonable observer. When you know something was a criminal act and you do it anyway, that meets the very definition of criminal intent by every standard out there. As a lawyer Michelle Dickerman knew better and yet did it anyway.
Michelle Dickerman's profession is what is going to cause her the most amount of problems here. A lawyer cannot claim ignorance on any part of this. Ignorance of the law is never considered as an argument for innocence in the courtroom, even if it should at times since not even lawyers know all the laws on the books, but Dickerman can't even claim ignorance here due to her lawyer status. Michelle Dickerman knew her actions were criminal. Period. She is also completely aware that every part of this case was wrong at every stage of it - from beginning to end. A lawyer would know better.
The C'ville law enforcement then conveniently claimed they damaged my computer hard drive so extensively that they couldn't retrieve any emails from it until repairs were carried out that would take 9 to 11 months of work - also fully documented by my lawyer in notes and admitted to verbally on tape recordings. I also witnessed this damage to the drive being brought up at my second bond hearing, and witnessed the prosecutor react with anger and stuttering when my lawyer brought up this "little secret". This convenient damaging of the hard drive left the paper printouts from Michelle Dickerman as the sole source of evidence against me. The railroading that followed was performed by the District Attorney's Office of Charlottesville as a cover up of Dickerman's criminal acts of evidence fabrication and disposal.
They committed this cover up for a few reasons:
- Because she was a rich UVA student in Charlottesville, and as I was told by a corrections officer - "If you punch a UVA student in the face in Charlottesville, you might as well have punched a cop"
- Because C'ville law enforcement didn't want another scandal after using my case as a distraction from other scandals going on, and certainly didn't want to risk lawsuits either
- Because prosecutor Joseph Platania had expressed clearly inappropriate sexual attraction to Michelle Dickerman after having a locker-room style sexual discussion with my lawyer over the phone - whereby the prosecutor even offered to setup a "little chat" between my lawyer and Michelle Dickerman
- Michelle Dickerman's father was a rich CFO of a bank with political connections. He is a UVA alumni himself, and shows up on the list of donors for UVA in 2006 before disappearing from it after a couple years (interesting timing, as if money had been promised for favors). He lived in the area around Charlottesville for a period of years, since after the warning I received I did a search and ended up finding him and his siblings in scans of 1970s Albemarle High school yearbooks (a high school within the outskirts of Charlottesville). The heads up I was given said Greg Manweiler has personal ties that directly led to the behavior of the Charlottesville law enforcement and court system. The only reason I haven't dropped that bomb is because I have to be careful and confirm it before I go pointing fingers. It's a pretty serious accusation to make based on an anonymous source, and merely confirming the truth of Manweiler attending school in the area doesn't confirm the rest of what was said to me.
Everyone reading the details of what can be proven to have happened during my case know exactly what all of this looks like. What I've mentioned so far in this post, even on this blog, is just the surface level of this shitshow. There are massively terrible optics with this entire case. Optics in which Michelle Dickerman's entire family will get ripped apart over in the media.
All of this is going public - I'm going to force that one way or another. Once that happens people are going to take a microscope to Michelle Dickerman's life, to her father's life, to her mother's life, to her brother's life, to her aunts and uncle's lives, to her deceased grandmother's life (I'm very interested in how she got the money to live the way she did). It's possible even cousins of Michelle Dickerman will have their lives examined by the public and media when all this comes out. Everyone around Dickerman is going to suffer when all this hits the media.
Even Dickerman's husband will be put under scrutiny when this goes public. Obviously he didn't have anything to do with the 2006 situation. But given that her husband has been catapulted up into being a big lobbyist for corporate interests, people are naturally going to wonder if Greg Manweiler's appearance of corruption and backroom dealing had anything to do with John Dickerman moving up in his career. After all, his son-in-law's success directly impacts the lives of Manweiler's daughter and his grand kids.
Greg Manweiler has the appearance of even manipulating a school system with his personal connection to the at the time chairman of the school board, in order to get his daughter an academic honor that doesn't appear to be fairly earned. He has close personal connections to two universities his daughter attended, and law enforcement connected closely with those two universities covered up for his daughter's documented criminal acts. One of those law enforcement agencies engaged in such disgusting and blatant corruption that it isn't possible that Greg Manweiler didn't have at least some hand in what took place. So considering it appears Greg Manweiler is willing to manipulate things for his family's benefit - why could he not have had some influence in his son-in-law's career?
People are naturally going to ask that question once all these details come out. And it won't matter whether Greg Manweiler wasn't behind every single instance of the corrupt behavior that has gone on. There is more than enough appearance of guilt surrounding him on so many things that the media and the public are going to assume he's guilty of all of it. The optics surrounding this case and the Manweiler family are bad enough that everyone close to the case and to the Manweilers are going to be pulled into it like a black hole. I wasn't being hyperbolic when I said many times that Michelle Dickerman won't be the only one in her family to suffer when this entire sordid affair comes out. By taking things as far as she did, and allowing the harm from it to go on as long as she did, Michelle Dickerman has become an albatross around her family's neck. Everyone within her family is going to feel the effects of this, especially those closest to her such as her husband and kids. Michelle Dickerman should have really thought things through in 2006. None of what is coming at her and her family in the future would have happened if she had not taken things to the level that she did in 2006. In turn both she and I would have moved on with our lives long ago. Was it worth it?
Having to rip my life back from these assholes is just going to make the Manweiler situation worse. There are horrible optics here already. The events of 2006 absolutely look as if massive criminal and corrupt behavior took place during my case by multiple people involved. It looks like the parties involved committed crimes in this case, and that's because those parties did in fact commit crimes.

Because of the railroading I received a felony I never committed. I received a felony that Michelle Dickerman knew I never committed. Did she really think that I would ever let her have peace after everything they did to me in her name? Everything they did to me on her behalf - and at her request? After everything this woman did to me in 2006 and onward? How stupid is this woman? Why would you ever assume that someone wouldn't want revenge on you for all of this sick shit that all of you did?
Platania fully admitted at the guilty plea hearing that Michelle Dickerman had seen the plea agreement they concocted and was onboard with all of it. A plea deal whose terms were considered grossly excessive by every lawyer I've spoken with. One called Dickerman's agreement with the plea deal "Sick". The prosecution even deliberately delayed my sentencing hearing for the expressed purpose of keeping me locked up longer as a personal favor to Michelle Dickerman and her parents. A delay of months that resulted in my former supervisor to be unable to continue holding my spot, thus ending my career at Northrop Grumman. All done to satisfy the vindictive Manweilers - by the prosecution's own admissions.
I have the very email where Platania admits to the intentional delay of my release, and says that both Dickerman and her parents wanted it to happen. This completely inexcusable and deliberate delay of my release until November was directly responsible for my supervisor being forced to fill my position. There was zero excuse or justification for this deliberate extension of my incarceration even being done. Michelle Dickerman was no longer living in Charlottesville by September, let alone being around in November. She was working for a Washington DC law firm in September, and it is likely she had already begun the move to the DC Metro area even before August and the guilty plea hearing. My bet is that as soon as she passed the bar exam she had her belongings, likely packed before graduation and the exam, sent out of Charlottesville while she did her trip around Europe.
So there is only one reason behind this deliberate delay of my release, especially for making it as long as they did - it was the intentional inflicting of financial, mental, and physical harm upon my person. The impact of this harm, combined with the false felony they all railroaded me into in 2006, resulted in the complete derailment of my career and the loss of employment in my field of practice until 2011. This is significant damage to life and livelihood. It is damage that cannot be made right. You cannot restore those years of life spent struggling to move beyond the damage you inflicted. I would be way further along in my life and career had the guilty parties not played games with my life. Due to concerns over being unable to get hired by another company over the felony, concerns which turned out to be entirely valid, I was stuck where I was and could not risk leaving the company I worked for. Not until their bankruptcy forced me into finding work elsewhere.
What I've described above is a tsunami of a lawsuit in waiting. And that's not even including everything else that happened during the actual case itself. There was a massive amount of harm inflicted against me because of the events of 2006 and beyond. This is a "house foreclosures and writing checks for life" level of getting fucked by civil damages. Filing for bankruptcy is also not going to discharge a judgement based on injury caused by malicious acts. So a court granting a massive judgement against Michelle Dickerman and her parents is a financial hole that cannot be escaped. Thanks to Platania's stupidity, he gave me the ability to have a lawyer bend over Greg and Carole Manweiler in court right along with their daughter should I get the felony vacated.

I spent years unable to get hired. I had to even attempt a career change that didn't pan out, because nobody in engineering wanted to hire a felon. I wasn't able to convince someone in my field to hire me until my 30s. All the while Michelle Dickerman sat back and watched. Her parents sat back and watched. I still have those view logs showing how they were looking through my blog for years. The Manweilers will get those logs shoved into their faces in court when I get my opportunity to crack them over the head with a civil suit.
As I've repeated a few times already - Michelle Dickerman is a lawyer and she knew there were things she could have done to alleviate my situation. If she truly believed that what Charlottesville had done in her name was wrong, this woman could have sorted it out in a number of ways at any time. Yet she chose to sit back and watch instead for going on 20 years now. That's really not going to play well for a jury. A jury that already won't be happy that a rich white UVA student got blatantly sick special treatment and protection that nobody else would ever receive.
What possessed this idiot to think she could do all of this corrupt and criminal shit to me, ruin my life for something I did not do, and then have any iota of belief that she would be able to just walk away from it all without any kind of blowback? That's never going to happen. If Dickerman refuses to come forward and clear my name after all she's done, there is only one possible scenario where I would be willing to finally let her off the hook and walk away. That scenario isn't something she would want. It would require that I get everything I want out of the legal process - and what I want is some very heavy handed damage being inflicted by the legal system. That's what they did to me after all.
I get the felony vacated. National news media outlets cover this story. The Feds come in and DOJ starts investigating former and current members of the Charlottesville law enforcement. Platania and Chapman lose their qualified immunity, receive multiple criminal charges, and get made an example of by the Federal court system to warn prosecutors to not behave in such a manner. Michelle Dickerman gets handcuffed in front of her neighbors like I did, and I get to see her mugshot plastered all over the news. She receives felony charges and some time in jail for her actions. I get to sue everyone to the point of bankruptcy, especially my former attorney William Johnson. The city of Charlottesville is hit hard by the Monell lawsuit against them for their legal corruption related to UVA students. This becomes known as the biggest case of law enforcement corruption in Virginia history, destroying the reputations of everyone who had a hand in this.
It's not an exhaustive list and there are definitely more things I'm hoping come out of this, but it's definitely a good start. As unlikely as it is that I get all of this, let's say for the sake of argument that the best possible scenario happens. Does that mean that I'll then fuck off to my corner after the entire situation is resolved? Yes, so long as the other guilty parties take the blow and disappear, I have no issues disappearing as well. But the scenario I outlined about is extremely unlikely to happen on every single part of it. No possible way that I'm getting everything I want, certainly not against members of law enforcement. It is very hard to get cops and prosecutors behind bars no matter how clear the evidence.
If I'm forced to fight this out by either party, nothing short of the scenario I outlined above will ever see me walking away from this. I would certainly make sure this dogs Michelle Dickerman for the rest of her life. I would make sure everyone in every neighborhood she ever lives in knows what she did. As much as I just want a quiet life, if anyone ever asks for an interview, even years later, I'd have no problem giving one despite not wanting to do it. Because every time the case gets brought up, it will once again drag Michelle Dickerman and her father over the coals. There is no reason this woman shouldn't continue looking over her shoulder forever, nor should she stop dreading this case getting brought up in conversations for the rest of her life. If she can't be bothered to correct her evils and take responsibility for the serious harm she's inflicted then she deserves that kind of life.
As far as books go I honestly don't want my story on this case written about, especially because I don't see how this case would even be interesting for a book. But I think some books need to come out of this. Especially because having to see it on the shelves will not be good for Michelle Dickerman's ego. Her name needs to be attached to this shitshow she created even after she's long gone. I have no desire to write a book but if the opportunity for it is presented to me, then I'll make a deal with anyone who wants to write it that they can have the entire proceeds of anything that comes of it. I don't want a single damn penny from it, I just want to make sure that everything that Dickerman has done gets put in print.
I will be all too happy to ensure that what Michelle Dickerman inflicted on another human being is the only legacy this narcissist ever leaves behind. That is something Michelle Dickerman should know - her only legacy now is that she destroyed someone's life for a crime they were innocent of, and I'm going to make sure that the public knows all about it. The only choice she has now is whether she's remembered for being repentant and doing the right thing by testifying against her co-conspirators, or whether she had to be dragged kicking and screaming into taking responsibility for her actions. One would look better than the other.
If I have to fight it out the websites will all stay up for the entirety of Michelle Dickerman's life as well. Rest assured on that. Her photos and the AI art I'll speak about later on will remain out there for the rest of both our lives. I am making arrangements to keep the websites going even after I'm gone. If I die before Dickerman then it is likely my sisters will keep it going. They both want justice for what Michelle Dickerman did. I can see them wanting to keep the truth of what she did alive for the entirety of Dickerman's life. The websites will definitely never go away while Dickerman lives. That's going to be a problem for Dickerman, but certainly one big issue behind it comes to mind.
Michelle Dickerman's kids will one day be old enough to go looking up the website and the blog. They will get to read about what their mother did to another human being. How she permanently ruined someone's life not only over something stupid, but over something that never happened the way she falsely portrayed it as to others. They will get to see that their mother lied to everyone - especially to them. They will go looking one day, because the older they get when everything comes out, the more likely it is that they will get bullied constantly by their peers over their mother's actions. Those kids will one day know that they had to deal with the fallout from this because their mother refused to do the right thing. They will know that it happened because their mother is a narcissist who gave more of a shit about her career and reputation than she did about her children. They will remember that their mother scared them when they were little and made them look over their shoulders - all so that she could continue to hide her lies and wrongdoing.
Their mother did something incredibly evil to someone who didn't deserve something like that. Their mother hurt more people than just me. Their mother was behind the incredibly corrupt actions of government officials. Actions which Dickerman would hypocritically claim to not support in every single other instance - except in the instance where it personally benefited her. They will know their mother could have done something about the suffering of another person, suffering caused by her own lies, and yet their mother just sat back and let it keep going for over a decade. One day Michelle Dickerman's kids are going to find out the truth about their mother, one way or another.

None of that is on me no matter how Michelle Dickerman tries to lie and cope about it. Everything her family has gone through, and everything they will go through in the future, is entirely caused by Dickerman's own actions and decisions. All of what will happen in the future is her fault and on her shoulders. Especially because it was never necessary for her to take the actions that she did in 2006, and additionally because she's had the ability for many years to "fix" some of that damage she inflicted on another person.
No matter how much Michelle Dickerman tries to deny it - the prosecution was telling the truth about Dickerman's involvement and knowledge of all their actions. Her own behavior proves they were telling the truth about everything. Her behavior over all these years tells a different story from the one she concocts to avoid accountability. The public and the media will see through her lies and denials on this. Nobody is going to give Dickerman the benefit of the doubt here, because her actions for 10+ years tell you everything you need to know.
Dickerman had countless opportunities to prevent things from happening the way they did in the past, and the way they will happen in the future. Before Michelle Dickerman walked into the C'ville police station with lies, the door was always open for her to resolve this through simply talking it out. A short discussion could have saved us both decades of dealing with this shit. We could have both moved on and lived far better lives without either party ever hearing from the other again. Instead she took the nuclear option and made everything far, far worse.
Even after my arrest due to her lies, I recognized at the time that I actually had a good life finally, and all I wanted was to just go back home and get back to that life. I was willing to walk away so long as I had a future to still return to. There was still the ability for us both to walk away had Dickerman gone along with what my lawyer had proposed. But that wasn't good enough for Michelle Dickerman and her parents.
I dared to challenge them and piss them off, and they couldn't let that slide. They wanted me to suffer over stupid emails - emails which she tampered with in the first place. Emails and events which she can be proven to have lied about. She even starts off her victim impact statement with a lie about events in the past. It's a little hard to claim your statement to the court wasn't a lie when proof to the contrary exists in your own handwriting.
No matter how much Michelle Dickerman tries to deny it - the prosecution was telling the truth about Dickerman's involvement and knowledge of all their actions. Her own behavior proves they were telling the truth about everything. Her behavior over all these years tells a different story from the one she concocts to avoid accountability. The public and the media will see through her lies and denials on this. Nobody is going to give Dickerman the benefit of the doubt here, because her actions for 10+ years tell you everything you need to know.

So Michelle Dickerman used the legal system as her own personal tool of revenge and made the single biggest fuck up of her entire life. She also put a target on her family's back when I never considered them to be a part of this before. Even after everything that happened in 2006 however, if very early on Michelle Dickerman had grown some integrity along with a spine and done something to correct the felony charge - we could have still potentially both moved on from this and both parties could have walked away. The earlier that correction happened the higher the chances that I'd have walked away. Because the sooner I could have moved forward in life unimpeded by a felony charge I didn't commit, the more likely it was that I would have just let the entire thing go. Instead Dickerman sat back and watched for going on 20 years now without a word.
As the years kept burning away, Michelle Dickerman's chances of ever living a normal life slowly went up in smoke. Now Michelle Dickerman will never get to walk away from this for her entire life. Not without a high price to paid for the years taken from me. And never think that when I say price that this word has anything to do with money. There isn't enough money in the world to fix what this idiot did. Money can't restore the years I spent with a false felony charge. You can't buy back time.
It's too late to "fix" anything now in that way, even if she was actually willing to attempt it. If there was ever a time for Dickerman to do it, that time has long since passed. I would much rather just have gone back to my life back then, as I certainly didn't want to have to be dealing with any of this in my 30s let alone my 40s. But we're here now - all because of Michelle Annette Dickerman and her arrogance and spite. I hope it was worth it for the asshole because it's going to get a lot worse. She waited for too long and let the damage become permanent. The asshole can't give me back 20 years of my fucking life she robbed from me. Now I want punishment inflicted upon those responsible. I want someone to be made an example of. Especially because this isn't just about me and Michelle Dickerman anymore. That hasn't been true since the 2006 criminal case against me. There were a lot of bad actors in this case who acted on her behalf, and they all have to answer for the role they played in it.
Dickerman's actions will have consequences in the future no matter what. That's not remotely up for negotiation, and it hasn't been up for negotiation for quite some time. It is not a question of if Michelle Dickerman answers for the crimes she committed. The question now is how bad will the results be and how many people around her have to suffer for her shit-tier decision making. All of that, as I've already said, is entirely on Michelle Dickerman's shoulders. The only thing she can potentially change now is lessening the damage to herself and more importantly to others around her. But she was never going to do that. Because the only person Michelle Dickerman cares about is herself in the end. So we'll be doing this entirely my way.

Another LawTube lawyer I watch, Sean of Potentially Criminal.
I actually recorded at 1.25 speed, he doesn't normally talk and move that quick.
I think his comment here particularly fits however - Dickerman played games with my life,
so she shouldn't complain about what I do when the legal bludgeon drops into my hand.
If she were to make such a stupid error, Dickerman essentially puts her and her father's heads on the chopping block in the process. There is no scenario where going to law enforcement doesn't end with the events and evidence of 2006 to coming out publicly. There is no way in which any of that ends with her reputation and future remaining intact. Neither will her father's reputation survive that error, because the optics around this case are so terrible that people won't believe that her father wasn't doing something shady behind the scenes.
Law enforcement involvement means the media will seek me out just as they did in 2006. I will definitely have plenty to share with them this time around. That choice ends with news vans parked out front of her home. No member of her immediate family will be able to step foot outside that door without cameras pointed at them. News reporters will be ambushing her in the grocery store parking lot and sticking a microphone in her face for comment. It ends with her and her father facing criminal investigation - and it might even push forward a Federal investigation of Charlottesville. There is no keeping any of this out of national media at that point. And no matter what happens to me at the end of it, there is no chance that Michelle Dickerman ever gets to live a normal life. Attempting to cause problems for me with law enforcement is giving me the very tools needed to rip apart lives. Not exactly a good situation for Dickerman to be in.
The Repercussions
One thing I have to wonder is if Michelle Dickerman has ever contemplated what happens if I get what I want and it all goes wrong for her. I highly doubt she's given it any thought because of her massive arrogance, but it would be considerably stupid of her to not contemplate what bad things could happen to her and her family in the future if it all goes wrong for her. However small she may believe my chances of success are, whether through a court vacating the felony or the media running with the story, the reality is that my chances are not zero. So what happens Dickerman if things don't work out the way you think they will? What will you do if everything goes wrong?
What if I get exactly what I want and the roles between the two of us are reversed? Never given any thoughts to this chance have you, no matter how small you believe it is? Because you could be wrong about my chances. Or maybe all the evil that she is responsible for finally catches up just when she thinks she has everything figured out. One thing I've definitely learned over the years from all of this, is that everything can go horribly wrong in your life when you least expect it to - and in ways you never even imagined could happen. I learned first hand that the future you see for yourself can get viciously ripped out of your hands forever in an instant. Maybe Dickerman should be questioning if it's her turn now?
I've certainly given thought to what happens if all of this doesn't work out and I'm denied the ability to get justice in a courtroom against these pieces of shit.
Maybe all the lawyers in the end shrug their shoulders and say they can't do anything to help me. Or maybe the court rules against vacating the felony. Maybe the media can't be bothered to pay any attention because they are chasing their own narratives. I've largely kept on course so far because I've had that little bit of hope that maybe I'll get justice for what was done to me one day. That one day I'll get my day in court with all these bastards. Maybe I finally get that last little hope stomped into the dirt.
I learned a big lesson about getting denied justice long ago thanks to Dickerman, and maybe in the near future I'll finally get that last little push I need after all this time. I've thought a lot about the what if's of things not working out, and I know exactly what happens then and what I will do at that point. I made plans years ago for where things are headed once I get confirmation that I'm forever blocked from any chance of reparations for the damages inflicted on me and my family. I have zero intentions of letting justice slip out of my grasp no matter what, and I've already decided how things are going to go. So it isn't like I'm going into this without accounting for the hard reality that my current plans might not work out.
I contemplated the worst case scenarios and I'm okay with what comes afterwards should things not work out the way I hope. Has Michelle Dickerman done the same? If she hasn't at least thought about the worst case scenarios, and asked herself if she really wants to subject herself and her family to that, then she's not acting very intelligent here. It's a really bad idea and that kind of blind arrogance doesn't usually work out in the end for people. It definitely isn't going to work out for her.
What if a lawyer does indeed decide I have a chance here? What if the court does rule that the felony was in error and they vacate it, thus suddenly making Michelle Dickerman and her parents immediately opened to criminal investigations and civil damages totaling 20 years worth of harm?
What if Dickerman has charges filed against her for crimes she can be proven to have committed?
I've got enough to prove she destroyed evidence. I've got enough to prove she lied to law enforcement and the courts. I've got enough to prove she tampered with the emails she supplied to law enforcement and the courts. Thanks to that tampering, and thanks to her documented act of destroying evidence, there is more than enough to even show that she even went as far as fabricating evidence. Because her documented act of evidence destruction would help cover up criminal acts committed by her, and because as a lawyer she would know better than to destroy evidence like that, a jury can be instructed to assume that Michelle Dickerman committed this act to hide what she had done to the evidence.
What if law enforcement decides they want to make an example out of her? What if a jury agrees?
Platania might decide to beat Michelle Dickerman to the punch once he is confronted with all of this. If Dickerman were to confess and implicate the Charlottesville law enforcement in having knowledge of what she did the entire time, then Charlottesville can't touch her because she becomes a material witness against their own criminal behavior. Attempts to file charges against her at that point would be a very bad look and wouldn't work out for Charlottesville. Everyone would view it as Charlottesville attempting to silence a witness. The State AG is almost certainly going to step in if Charlottesville pulled a stunt like that, not to mention what happens if the Feds get involved and decide that Charlottesville is attempting to intimidate a witness. Platania would know all of this.
So if things work out for me and Platania ends up faced with the reality of this case coming out in the public eye or of the felony getting vacated - then he is highly likely to file criminal charges against Dickerman in order to preempt any attempts by her to accuse him of anything. If he knows Dickerman might point the finger of blame at him, and I'm sure he does, then it is to his benefit to act before she does. He in turn gets out in front of this before fingers get pointed in his direction. If Dickerman were to wait until criminal charges are being filed against her, then she loses any bargaining chips with respect to deals. Worst of all for her, if Dickerman made accusations against the Charlottesville law enforcement after she's already been criminally charged, it would just look like an act of desperation. Everyone will assume that Dickerman is just making false statements to get out of trouble. Platania would be aware of this as well if he has more than two brain cells to rub together.
What if Dickerman ends up having to talk to her family from behind a glass wall in a corrections facility, just like she forced me to do? I highly doubt her kids are of an age where they are going to be able to mentally handle something like that. Not to mention I heard that on average female inmates tend to be far worse in behavior than the average male inmates, so Dickerman probably isn't going to last long in that kind of environment. I at least had physical size on my side being that I was the biggest guy in the cell block, but Michelle Dickerman has no such luck. Free piece of advice - that natural arrogance of Dickerman's had better get shed quick if she ends up in a jail cell. It will go badly otherwise. There is a difference between confidence and just being an asshole. Dickerman getting snarky with someone in the cell block won't be a pleasant experience for her.
On the civil side of things, what if the jury in a civil trial hands me a judgement against her in the seven to eight figure range? A bankruptcy would not be able to discharge the debt for a civil judgement for harm done by her, and the courts would go through all her assets to pay the judgement regardless of bankruptcy. What if she's forced to foreclose on her home in Falls Church? What if she loses the ability to pay for college for her kids? What if she spends the rest of her life writing checks to me? Doesn't matter how low of a chance she thinks that is - that chance isn't zero so can she really take that kind of risk? Because getting successfully sued by me with twenty or more years worth of damages would be permanently life destroying. She would likely never climb her way out of that hole.
Dickerman needs to keep this in mind. If she confessed and came to an agreement with me to waive civil liability before I have to fight things out with her - whatever legal fallout from her confessing to her crimes would eventually end in a matter of years. Pointing the finger at the Charlottesville law enforcement for their actions and testifying against them would also shield her to an extent - I'm betting Charlottesville won't be able to file charges if she's a witness against their law enforcement. After all of this was over with, everyone could pick up the pieces and move on - Dickerman and her family especially. But if she gets hit with a massive civil judgement against her, on top of potential criminal prosecution, Dickerman is unlikely to ever recover from that for the rest of her life. She'll never have anything to pass onto her children, though I suspect that isn't a consideration for Dickerman.
She also needs to consider what happens if her parents get a similar sized civil judgement handed to them. Dickerman and her brother would see their inheritance evaporate. What if her parents are forced to foreclose on their home in their old age, and lose everything they ever worked for because of a situation their own daughter created? Dickerman's father worked to create a reputation and name for himself, fairly earned or not, and that will go up in smoke when this entire shitshow becomes public. Everyone believes he has at least some responsibility for what took place in Charlottesville when they hear about everything that went down in 2006.
When all of Gregory Manweiler's dirty connections to this case are discussed, it's hard for people to not point a finger at him. Especially when even the prosecution was pointing the finger at him and his wife for what was happening - as written in their own words. There is going to be an investigation of Gregory Manweiler when all of this comes out, because there are far too many shady things pointing in his direction to assume his innocence in what happened in 2006.
Not to mention I'm still in the process of verifying the info I was given of an even worse connection, and if it turns out to be true it'll actually make things extremely bad for the Manweilers. While it's true that their daughter caused this entire situation, obviously it doesn't shed the guilt that her parents have for their terrible actions and decisions in manipulating the legal system. That said, they still wouldn't have ever been drawn into this entire thing in the first place had their daughter made better choices. I never considered them to be a part of this until Michelle Dickerman made them a part of this.
So in the end, Dickerman is ultimately responsible for the harm all of this is going to inflict on her father and mother. Dickerman's the one who made the bad calls, she's the one who destroyed someone's life for something they didn't do, and she's the one who dragged her family members into this. That's something she should consider but as a narcissist Dickerman is allergic to accountability.
We're also unfortunately going to be dragging her brother, Justin Manweiler, into this as well once things go public. I went over the behavior I was seeing in the previous post, but to recap someone with a Google admin account was searching through my blog, in addition to looking for posts that were deleted. All of this is documented. Well they did come back just one more time, and based on what I was seeing it appeared that they read the warning post and never came back again. At least, not in the same way that they did before.
I did very recently have a visitor who had info connected to their views that indicated they were viewing my blog internally from a Google corporate headquarters - and not one in India. So there is enough odd Google employee related behavior going on with my blog that I feel I have to call out the potential for Justin Manweiler doing something on behalf of his sister. I intend on asking for an investigation into what was going on with the admin access on my blog. If I find out that any "games" were going on here, especially privacy violations, you both should expect a big lawsuit headed in your direction. I'm pretty sure any privacy violations in this manner could also result in Federal trouble for the both of them.
One good thing at least in all of this, is that while Michelle Dickerman has seriously damaged my life and derailed the course of it - she's actually already hurt her own future and life by doing it. This is even without me doing anything yet. I'm not talking about what's coming in the future, even though that has a high chance of going very badly for her. We're not talking about how she's essentially a weight around her family's neck either.
I find it hard to believe that Michelle Annette Dickerman didn't have goals towards running for public office. High School Model UN, law school, working in a Government agency to become a deputy assistant general counsel, and multiple other related activities - all of that has the earmarks of someone trying to build up a political resume. Well public office is now unattainable for her. Michelle Dickerman can not afford to run for a political office for her entire life. It was all over after she made her choices in 2006. I don't know whether I should be surprised or not that Dickerman didn't contemplate if what she was doing in 2006 might damage any chances of being elected to public office.
The second she does attempt to run, the very real threat of a light getting shined on what happened in 2006 materializes exponentially. There is no possible way Michelle Dickerman can run for any office and still keep all of this hidden. Her running for office would give me exactly what I want - media disclosure and our positions switching. So Michelle Dickerman will never be involved in politics as an elected official. Not now, and not even after everything gets resolved regardless of what form that takes. If politics was her dream she's effectively destroyed it forever.
Her husband, John Dickerman, is also done when it comes to public office. Because his campaign for a political office results in the same risks that his wife's campaign would - all of the 2006 events and their terrible optics becoming public. Him running for office risks giving me the very thing I need to further wreck his wife's life.
I'm surprised he even risked the Business Council of Canada position. That's getting very close to politicians and the media spotlight. He's currently flirting with the very real risk of a spotlight being flashed in his wife's direction given the close proximity to public office. A lobbyist corporate shill can potentially get away with a sketchy background, though there is always the inherent risk of that background getting revealed that I don't think Michelle Dickerman and her husband realize. But now? He's rubbing elbows with politicians even more, making political commentary to news media outlets - and they don't think in this day and age that there is the real danger of someone looking into his wife's background and exposing it all?
I'd wager that his efforts there have more of an impact on international financial policy than his previous job. That kind of attention might not be what they want in the end. I don't think either of them really thought that one through. Regardless of whether it blows up in their faces however, when it comes to politics that position he's currently in is likely as close as John Dickerman can fly to the sun without getting burned thanks to his wife. Maybe they do get by without that background getting dredged up while he's on the business council - but that ends when the campaign for the election of either of them starts up.
If either Michelle Dickerman or her husband John Dickerman ever try to run for office, it is a guarantee that someone is going to do some digging - and then this entire shitshow comes spilling out. Both of them would have their campaign flatlined the minute all of this gets revealed. A rich white girl framed someone for a crime, received overwhelming special treatment by law enforcement due to her social status, and cooperated in blatantly corrupt and criminal acts with government officials. Every part of this case looks evil and was uncalled for. Her father has the appearance of having used his money and connections to buy privilege for his daughter even to the potential detriment of others. How do you think that's going to play out for the demographic you're both hoping to appeal to for votes?
You've heard me mention all this about political office before in other posts of course. That's not the limit of it however. The reality is that Michelle Dickerman will unlikely progress further in her career at the Treasury department. She's effectively hit the ceiling of her career thanks to her choices in 2006. Being a deputy assistant general counsel is most likely all that she'll ever be.
If Michelle Dickerman thought she was going to be the next Janet Yellen - she can go ahead and get silly ideas like that out of her mind. She torpedoed that the day she walked into the Charlottesville police station. That is a political appointment that would carry pretty much the same scrutiny as running for public office herself. Getting picked to be Treasury Secretary would give me exactly what I need to wreck her life. It would be dangerous in the extreme when it comes to exposing everything from 2006. Though it's unlikely she'd make it through the vetting process because of this dispute.
Even getting higher positions than deputy assistant general counsel is probably too political of a position for Michelle Dickerman to risk - or for anyone to risk elevating her. I get a lot of Treasury viewers, and I'm pretty certain they aren't all her. I'm wondering if she's even noticed herself that she's reached the limit. Maybe other people getting picked to move up higher instead of her? That's a question Dickerman has to ask herself, since that's not information I'd bother to find out about let alone even have the access to obtain. Regardless, I don't think Dickerman has ever contemplated how this dispute already drags her down. That's on top of her and her family never getting peace in their life, while always having to wonder if I'll end up with the ability to flip our situations around. All while knowing that I don't intend on showing mercy should this happen.
None of this is my fault or my doing - this is entirely on Michelle Annette Dickerman. Everything she's dealing with now and in the future is entirely thanks to her own decisions. She's ruined her own life and is dragging her family down with her. She should have found a better way to handle things rather than running for the nuclear option without even so much as a word. She shouldn't have lied and screwed with evidence. She shouldn't have hammered me and instead agreed to the plea deal my former lawyer offered. She should have taken steps over a decade ago to correct some of the damages she inflicted on me, instead of engaging in schadenfreude by watching me unable to get employment thanks to the felony charge. And a mirid number of other things that she could have handled better. That's Michelle Dickerman's life summed up in a nutshell - "I could have handled things better".
Another thing Michelle Dickerman should consider is how she'll get ripped apart in the media. Dickerman complained about news reporters contacting her back in 2006. That was nothing compared to what's coming in the future. She would long for that miniscule contact back in 2006. I want Michelle Dickerman specifically to see the video here below. This actually happened in Hampton.
A woman claimed that a man sexually assaulted her and her word was all that it took to send him to prison. She actually works as a police dispatcher, or at least she did, I would hate to think she'd keep that job after what happened. Four years later after the man was still sitting in prison for a crime he didn't commit, the woman admitted to her police officer husband that she lied to get the guy falsely convicted of a crime. The husband clearly had more conviction and backbone than Dickerman's husband, and he pushed his wife to confess to what she did to make things right. This is a clip of the local news that was used by one of the LawTube channels I follow, a guy named Nate the Lawyer. I'll link the full video under it, but I want Dickerman to specifically see this clip and put herself in the woman's position. More than any other video or document linked in this post, I think Dickerman needs to see this one.
That right there is going to be Michelle Annette Dickerman in the future. No matter what. She'll be walking out of a grocery store and get flanked by microphones as she walks to her car. They will wait for her outside the Treasury building. Imagine getting stuck on the subway with reporters. She won't even be able to walk outside her home without this happening. Dickerman should think about how she wants to look to the public. Notice how evil that woman is in the video - how she smiles and laughs about what she did to another person. It's very clear she's just as much of a sick narcissist as Dickerman. I get not wanting to make a statement since the guy can (justifiably) sue her. But you don't smile. You don't laugh. There is no remorse there, no acceptance of any wrongdoing.
Notice that this is what the reporters keep asking her - "At least say that you're sorry". Notice that the reporters don't like her, and especially don't like how she's acting. That's because normal people see this kind of thing as being extremely twisted. Because it is twisted. They want to know why she did something so evil. They want to see remorse. They want to see that she understands it was wrong and is truly repentant. They want her to say she's sorry. They want to see this because the public will want to see this. Yet that's not what they are getting, and that woman is too up her own ass to realize that it's going to make the future so much worse for herself.
A reckoning is coming and Michelle Dickerman should think really carefully of how she wants this to play out. Unlike Dickerman, this woman came forward to confess. Her husband forced her to do it, but she at least came forward. Now imagine how much worse it would be for that woman if what she did came to light and she hadn't confessed? If she had made the guy fight to get his life back.
The guy spent four years in prison, which is bad enough considering it was spent as a sex offender, but thankfully he didn't spend his full sentence behind bars. Michelle Dickerman has been sitting on what she did for going on 20 years now. So that woman is at least in a somewhat better position than Dickerman, because she didn't sit on her ass for anywhere near as long as Dickerman has - regardless of whether she was forced to confess by her husband or not. Dickerman is going to get ripped to shreds in the court of public opinion far worse than that woman did. Not just because of her actions, but because of the actions of those working on her behalf. Actions which she supported for almost 20 years.
The only way Michelle Dickerman alleviates that is to come forward on her own to correct the situation. To fess up, take responsibility, testify against the Charlottesville law enforcement, and show genuine remorse even though I know she'll never actually feel remorseful. But Michelle Dickerman isn't going to do any of this, and thus she's going to get ripped into even harder than this woman did. So she better keep the video of this woman being ambushed by reporters in mind - it's a glimpse of the future one way or another.
Actions in the Future
So now we finally come to what's going to happen in the future.
Unfortunately my time scale has been thrown off by a lot of things going on, some of which I've discussed here and others I haven't. Moving deadlines further out was something I already anticipated. That will be a problem for Dickerman on the liability issue, since the longer it takes me to get all this resolves the more damages she's going to be on the hook for. I was arrested in July of 2006 when I was 25, and was released from jail that November with a false felony charge at 26 after spending my birthday behind bars. Right now I'm 44 and I will hit 45 in August. Needless to say my level of anger and hatred towards this woman steadily increases every time I contemplate how much time I've lost. Me hitting 45 without this getting resolved is something I'm going to make Michelle Dickerman answer for, and the only option she has available is to seek a quick resolution to this that limits the damages she and her family will be facing.
I've been in email exchanges with a legal aid organization which are currently ongoing, and this is thankfully a big change from when I first tried asking for help from organizations back in 2007 and couldn't any responses to my emails. There are potentially more options available to me than just the Writ that are being looked into, and I've been given a list of people to contact. That list of course requires hiring lawyers out of my own pocket, and I'm under no illusions as to the costs that post-conviction work is going to inflict, especially factoring in bringing experts to court to testify. If I'm forced to foot the bill myself and proceedings don't result in the felony being vacated - then I'm left with a big bill, nothing to show for all of it, along with the loss of hope when the last door for the legal option of getting justice gets slammed in my face. That right there is a result that is going to push me pretty fucking far over the line.
So obviously I'm pushing for one of these legal aid organizations to step in and help, and there is the potential that they will. Their priorities however lie with people currently incarcerated and/or attempting to push case law on civil rights issues. These organizations do not have infinite resources to accomplish this, so they just can't help everyone and I fully understand this. Regardless I'm still pursuing the legal route whether a legal org chips in or not, because it isn't like I have a choice in the matter. In 2006 the shitbags railroaded me into a felony I was innocent of, destroyed my life with lies and fabrications, dragged my family through hell, inflicted over a decade of living as a 2nd class citizen with my rights stripped from me, and derailed my professional career irreparably. The only way out of this that Dickerman has left is to fess up and try repairing *some* of that damage. Because there is no scenario where I let all of this stand without someone answering for it.
There is also another option I will be pursuing in addition to the legal challenges, and while it certainly has a very high chance of forcibly shoving this case into the public eye, it's also one that definitely carries a risk to it as well. Although law enforcement being stupid enough to try me after I file all this just gives me what I want in the end. They will just further cause the media to stick a microphone in my direction, and once that happens it'll be my turn to apply a legal boot to some throats. Though obviously I'd still prefer things to go more smoothly in resolving things if that's possible, but I'm prepared for it to get very nasty unfortunately.
It also is dependent on certain changes in my situation and what advice from lawyers I receive, so it's something I have to prepare for first. It is unlikely a lawyer will want me to attempt this before trying post-conviction remedies. Not to mention I have to change a few things around with my living situation before I attempt something like this. I'll get into this a bit further, but first let's discuss what I'm actually planning on doing.
Years ago I filed a FOIA request with both the Charlottesville police and district attorney's office. This was in addition to my motion to have my file unsealed so I could check for any potential evidence I hadn't already seen. This FOIA request was an attempt to get emails and any available evidence from the Charlottesville law enforcement. I especially wanted information related to Michelle Dickerman's contact with Charlottesville law enforcement post-2006. This when Detective Rudman decided to poke around on my blog (and subsequently screwed up by having the username he was logged into his computer with show up in my tracker records), after Michelle Dickerman reached out to C'ville law enforcement when her and her parents saw the post on this blog with my former lawyer's letter about an offer for a plea deal.
I still have the records showing that Michelle Dickerman and her parent's went through the blog long ago, after I had posted that letter to the prosecution written by my former attorney William Johnson during the 2006 case. This was years after the resolution of the criminal case when the blog was still new, as I had to wait until I was released early from probation before I could risk talking publicly about what happened during the case. After the Manweilers had viewed this letter to the prosecutor with a plea deal settlement, Michelle Dickerman obviously contacted the Charlottesville law enforcement. I know this because a day or two later the blog started getting views from City of Charlottesville ISP - the ISP that both the police department and the district attorney's office use. It was during this time that former Detective Nicholas Rudman made a pretty big screw up, though I can't give him too hard of a time on it, because I didn't know the tracker would do this either.
It was very clear that Rudman was attempting to find out how I was tracking views to my blog, and it was likely he was instructing Dickerman in how to avoid it. Which didn't work as it turned out, though not for lack of effort on Dickerman's part. It was after Rudman's efforts that Michelle Dickerman started using websites that supposedly let her view the blog anonymously (didn't work), and she even tried making her location at work look as if she was in France when viewing the blog (doesn't help when it still says US Department of the Treasury for the ISP).
Considering Dickerman didn't attempt these actions until after Rudman's efforts, it doesn't take a detective to figure out that he was giving Dickerman instructions on avoiding being seen when viewing my blog. After all Rudman was definitely not interested in looking at the evidence of Dickerman's crimes that I presented. He knew they were posted because they were blatantly labeled as such in the titles, but he avoided clicking on the specific ones that dealt with the evidence proving Dickerman fabricated the evidence that Rudman based his entire investigation upon.
One of the reasons that I know that Detective Rudman was behind all this is thanks to these very efforts by him. One day Rudman decided to download one of my blog post pages to his desktop at work, specifically the one where I showed proof that Michelle Dickerman and her parents were viewing the blog using screenshots of the tracking data. I'd like to again point out that Rudman happily viewed and downloaded this evidence post, but conveniently avoided looking at the email evidence posts. Rudman then burned the downloaded website page to a CD, likely so that he could poke around in the website code and view the page info on a computer not connected to the internet.
The problem with Rudman saving the page to his desktop and burning it to a CD, is that upon clicking the file to check it, the code for one of the trackers was still embedded and sent the viewer info out to me. Included in this information was the location the file was saved at - which showed the username of Detective Rudman. I'll show it below:
So yes, Rudman screwed up and revealed what was actually going on. Though as I said, I didn't know this would happen either so I can't really blame him (for that particular screw up at least). The City of Charlottesville ISP was already enough to prove Charlottesville law enforcement were visiting the blog after being contacted by Michelle Dickerman, but with Rudman's computer username being revealed - well it's a little hard to deny his involvement.
Needless to say I'm very interested in seeing what Michelle Dickerman sent to the prosecution after she saw my former lawyer's letter. I'm also very keen on seeing all the communications between Rudman and the DA's office, and all communication that Rudman had with Dickerman to instruct her on anonymous attempts to track my blog posts. Detective Nicholas Rudman, on the orders of Prosecutors Joseph Platania and Warner Chapman, was using taxpayer resources while on the clock in order to do personal favors for a rich UVA student who didn't even live in Charlottesville anymore. That is an important matter of public interest, and one that requires a criminal investigation (separate from the criminal investigations warranted by the events of 2006).
I guarantee that the public will want answers for why a Charlottesville detective was spending city resources for the benefit of a woman who hadn't been a resident of the city for years. Especially since all evidence points to Rudman using those taxpayer resources to instruct Michelle Dickerman in anonymously monitoring my blog. It doesn't matter that he was a failure in this instruction - it's the fact that he did this in the first place, and he did it while on the clock as a C'ville cop.
When I initially filed my first FOIA request, I primarily focused on the emails and evidence related to my criminal prosecution in 2006 (the bigger issue for me). Though I did ask for all communications related to Dickerman's contact with them post-2006, as well as any material related to Rudman's actions to aid Michelle Dickerman when she wasn't even a Charlottesville resident. Platania and the police department ignored that part of the request of course. As for the main information related to the 2006 criminal case, they attempted to use a Virginia law about not providing evidence from a criminal investigation to someone filing a FOIA request.
Here's the thing about that excuse - it doesn't cut it for the communications that took place when Michelle Dickerman contacted the prosecutors after seeing my blog post and former lawyer's letter. Which is probably why they ignored my request on this item and never addressed it. There was no criminal investigation that they were legally allowed to conduct at that time, so they can't claim any of that information is barred from release on a FOIA request. Not only was Michelle Dickerman not a resident of Charlottesville at the time (thus they had no jurisdiction over any reported crime by her), but no crime even happened in the first place when she contacted them - which is why no charges were filed. The excuse also doesn't cut it for communications involving Rudman rummaging around on my blog and his instructions to Dickerman on how to be anonymous when viewing it.
So if Charlottesville attempts to blow smoke up my ass again and use this excuse when it clearly doesn't apply on this particular information, I am absolutely going to appeal that and take it to court. Which is going to be a bad idea for Charlottesville and Dickerman, as it increases the chances that all of this goes public in the news media.
Think about the fact that we have the very clear appearance of Charlottesville law enforcement using city resources to do personal favors for a UVA alumni with a rich alumni father. For a UVA alumni who hadn't even lived in Charlottesville for years when this took place. A UVA alumni that Joseph Platania showed an unprofessional and even unhealthy attraction towards, to the point that he had a sexual discussion about her on the phone with my former lawyer. All it takes is a single reporter being in the courtroom that day. You had better believe their interest will be piqued when they hear that law enforcement used taxpayer resources for personal favors of people that don't even live in the city.
Charlottesville and Dickerman could be completely screwed regardless of the direction the FOIA request goes. Giving me the information I want with the FOIA request is likely not something that ends well for them, since it's pretty clear that some inappropriate things at minimum took place after Dickerman contacted them. You can take a guess who I will supply this information to when I get it. But refusing to hand it over and forcing me to take it to court is also dangerous since there will be other ears in the courtroom - potentially reporter ears specifically. Refusing to hand it over my get them slapped with the Streisand Effect.
What I described so far isn't the risky part of this however, at least not risky for me. No, that risk comes about from what I'll be doing as part of that FOIA request. In particular two risky actions, both of which carry some potential blowback, but one that probably increases the likelihood of the prosecution throwing a bitch fit and coming after me. That high potential of a law enforcement knock on my door is why I have to get some things resolved before I stick my neck out, mainly to avoid it affecting other people close to me. But I'm getting ahead of myself, let's go over those two actions first, starting with the lesser risk followed by the one that's probably going to piss the prosecution off the most.
In my old FOIA requests, I mentioned some of the past behavior by Charlottesville in my 2006 case but I was more careful in my wording and kind of "beat around the bush" so to speak. I definitely claimed they did some really illegal stuff but I was still reluctant to go all out. I wish I had gone farther, but I'm going to rectify that now. In addition to discussing the abuse of public resources that appears to have taken place, I'm going to write a summary about everything that took place in the 2006 criminal case.
More specifically - I will completely and bluntly articulate all criminal accusations against members of the Charlottesville law enforcement. I'm flat out listing the criminal actions that took place in 2006 by the guilty parties. No pulling punches, no dancing around with wording to avoid the obvious claims. I'm going to list everything that happened, all the dirty laundry, including Mr. Platania's sex pest behavior as a prosecutor.
I imagine that's going to piss Platania off of course, but not nearly as much as what I'm going to do in addition to this. I'm going to forward the FOIA request to every News Director I can get the contact info for, especially those in Charlottesville. Every single one of them is getting sent a copy of the FOIA request on what took place in 2006. I'll even list them as "CC'd" on each copy so that Joseph Platania gets to see how many news stations just got sent this record. But I'm going to go one further.
I'm going to send a copy of the FOIA request to both the FBI and DOJ, care of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, with their name prominent on that CC'd list on the front page.
I have absolutely no illusions that my copies of the FOIA request would ever end up being read by either of them. I don't rate that kind of attention. People in those high level positions are focusing on things that have a far bigger scale than an injustice that took place against one random guy. I doubt it would even make it to their secretary's desk. That's not the point. It's possible instead that it gets eyes on from someone further down in the chain of command, and then the Feds start looking into this if it crosses the right desk. After all, there are some serious criminal accusations involved. Possible they'd step in to investigate before I get the story out into the media, but as nice as that would be I'm not putting any hopes on that one happening either. Getting the Feds involved right now isn't the point at this stage. That will come later when everything finally hits.
Partly one reason for it is letting Joseph Platania see that copies were sent to those individuals. Let him get his panties twisted knowing he's not getting peace after what he did, and that one day he's going to have everything he did in this case get dragged out into the public eye. The far more important reason however than Platania seeing it and getting his chain jerked - it's letting all the News Directors I sent copies to see names like Pam Bondi and Kash Patel in the "CC'd" list. That's far more likely to get their interest and encourage them to read it.
If people in the media start reading the details about all the bullshit that took place during the 2006 criminal case, and the personal favor that was apparently done for Dickerman after she contacted Platania again - it is far more likely that those News Directors will pick up the phone and give me a call. Especially since the initial focus of this FOIA request relates to them using tax payer resources for personal favors, with the rest of the criminal accusations being listed out in a case summary that will be included.
I imagine that will light a fire under Platania's ass. It only takes one News Director, or one reporter I should say since the Directors will delegate, giving me a call and running the story. And I will have plenty of evidence to share with them. I plan on sending copies of the FOIA to as many news outlets as possible, even if it requires mailing a hundred physical copies out, and it's very important that the guilty parties keep one thing in mind here:
It Only Takes One Reporter
Whether I have to spend resources to fight in court or I have to take risks to push this out into the media spotlight - if I get the end result I'm looking for in either scenario then I'm ripping all the guilty parties a new asshole in court without a shred of mercy. It will be my boot on your heads in that courtroom this time around. You didn't show a shred of mercy in 2006 so you had better expect the same from me. If you force me to fight to get my life back and get justice for what you did, expect me to be as brutal as the legal system allows. Expect no settlements and no negotiations. And it will never end for the rest of their lives at that point. There is no chance that I will ever let any of these parties off the hook or let them have any peace for the entirety of their days on this earth regardless of how it plays out. Since you bastards didn't come forward with what you did so that I can just get on with my life, then I have no intentions of ever letting any of you get on with yours.
An additional consideration is that should the news media run with all this, this dispute will turn into a race between Platania and Dickerman on who gets who first. Platania is going to get hammered and investigated for his role in this given that he was the prosecutor handling this case. He will be facing more of the blame than Michelle Dickerman because he was the one with the legal authority.
Platania is going to end up looking like a real sex pest thanks to his behavior towards Dickerman. In this day and age nobody is going to excuse a male prosecutor for displaying that kind of behavior with a claimed "victim" he was representing. At no point will anyone find it acceptable that he tried to set up a private meeting between my former attorney and Michelle Dickerman after having a sexual discussion over the phone with said attorney. People in positions of power tend to have "dirty laundry" accumulate in their background, and it is a guarantee that he's done many shady things in other criminal cases he's handled. All of that is going to get a light shined on it during an investigation, and people will drag him for all of it publicly. One such problem he already will be facing is his prosecution of people who were counter-protesters of the Nazi rally held in Charlottesville, which was something he was bashed for in Charlottesville. Everything that can be used against the guy will be pulled out of the deck and he will not have a very good time with it.
Joseph Platania should be smart enough to figure out how badly this could potentially turn out for him. The prosecutor handling the Duke Lacrosse Rape case (where the four men had the charges dismissed after it was found that the prosecutor was withholding evidence of their innocence) was disbarred, spent a day in jail on contempt, and was sued for his actions in that case. It should have been far worse penalties, but perhaps a legal precedent can be set here as a warning for prosecutors who stepped out of line. Regardless, given the Duke prosecutor was punished for bad conduct, however lightly in comparison to his actions, it demonstrates quite clearly that qualified immunity for prosecutors has its limits. I would imagine those limits include the commission of criminal acts, which is a serious difference between the Duke case and the Dickerman case.
So Platania's best chance of saving himself to some degree is to dismiss the felony charge from my record, seek a settlement, and prosecute Michelle Dickerman to the fullest extent. Michelle Dickerman after all is the one who put Charlottesville law enforcement in this position. That doesn't let them off the hook of course since they were ultimately the ones with the authority to stop the damage before it went too far. Michelle Dickerman handed them the ball, but Charlottesville police and prosecutors were the one who ran it down the field. The fact that they "ran that ball down the field" however gives them a heavy incentive to instead put all of the attention and blame upon Michelle Dickerman.
The same people who covered for Dickerman and railroaded me for her benefit in 2006, will happily sell her out at a moments notice if they think it will cover their own asses. If Platania starts hearing from news reporters who want comment from him on this scandal after reading my FOIA request, he will be significantly motivated to get out in front of the coming media coverage. The best way to accomplish this is to pin the blame entirely on Dickerman and toss her to the wolves. In situations like this the public wants to see a head getting put on a pike. They want someone held accountable. You can bet that Platania doesn't want that to be him. So he's going to find someone else's head to place upon the proverbial pike. That would be Michelle Dickerman. She would be an extremely easy target for him.
The public will see a rich white girl living in a big house in Northern VA, with a banker father who appears to have used his money and influence in an underhanded manner to not only unfairly prop his daughter up, but to also give her special treatment by the government. Remember that Platania himself said in court back in 2006 that one of the penalties I was receiving was the "most ever handed out in the history of the Charlottesville Circuit court". Those were his words. Which means murderers, rapists, child molesters, gang members, etc. received no such punishment. Instead I get hammered more for emails sent to a rich white girl that Platania expressed sexual interest in. For mean emails to a rich white UVA student who didn't so much as breath the same air as me until the preliminary hearing, I received worse penalties than another a rich white UVA student did for stabbing a man to death. Think back to your whining about news coverage during the 2006 case Mrs. Dickerman, and now imagine the previous sentence I wrote being spoken by a news broadcaster.
Michelle Dickerman received more protection from the system than any regular citizen of Charlottesville, hell more than anyone in the State of Virginia. On top of it she has destroyed someone's life for a crime she knew they were innocent of. As a lawyer she also knew she was receiving overwhelming special treatment in 2006 the entire time, and given her constant visitations on this blog and the website, she has been made completely aware of all of the evil shit that was done for her benefit by law enforcement. Dickerman has in turn now laid the cost for what happened in 2006 as a burden on the taxpayers when all this comes out in public, and has racked up that cost by sitting with her thumb up her ass for over a decade rather than correct the issue earlier. Dickerman has shown zero remorse for any of the harm she has inflicted, and there has never been an admission, neither public nor private, made by her that she acknowledges the special treatment she received was wrong. She has done fuck all for almost 20 years now to demonstrate any belief that what was done on her behalf was wrong. Not a single bit of this is going to look good on the news reels.
In our current cultural climate Dickerman would find no friends or support. She's a rich white girl that was given far more protection than the average citizen simply because daddy has money and she went to what is considered an ivy league school. How exactly does she think this will play out in public perception these days? Additionally, if charges are filed against her first before she comes forward with any negative info on Charlottesville law enforcement, she will have no bargaining chips to avoid trouble at that point. Law enforcement will probably not consider making deals in exchange for testimony if she's already been charged. They certainly won't make deals for information if Charlottesville is the one that files charges against her - paying any attention to her claims that Platania and Chapman knew what she did doesn't benefit the city of Charlottesville at all. Coming forward with sudden accusations against Platania and the rest of the Charlottesville law enforcement only after charges were filed against her would rightfully just be perceived as Dickerman attempting to save her own ass.
That's why I said this will become a game of who turns on who first. If Dickerman were to sell out Platania first and make accusations against city law enforcement, Platania and Charlottesville can't touch her. She would be considered a witness in a criminal matter against him and other city officials. Dickerman testifying against them in court ensures that Platania's hands are tied. She might still face penalties but it would have to be the State AG bringing those charges at that point. Because if Charlottesville attempts to charge her after her accusations, it would be a conflict on Charlottesville's part for filing charges on a witness against them. At minimum I would assume they would have to bring in a special prosecutor, and even then it'll still not be good optics for Charlottesville if they prosecute a witness against their law enforcement.
A willingness to testify against Charlottesville's behavior and criminal acts would give her leverage to reach a deal with the State of Virginia that limits the damage or even gets her immunity. At that point anything Platania would say or do involving Dickerman would just looks like retaliation against her for testifying against him. This is the same problem that Dickerman will experience if Platania makes the first move against her instead. If Dickerman suddenly makes accusations against Charlottesville out of nowhere only after she gets slapped with criminal prosecution, it makes her look like she's lying to save her own ass. It would be perceived by the public and law enforcement as a sort of "Samson Option but without nukes" if Dickerman only comes forward with her claims after the charges are filed.
I suspect that if Platania is smart enough to read the room once he sees what's laid out against him, he's going to give me a call and see what can be worked out. Especially if he starts getting phone calls from reporters wanting comment from him. That will definitely light a fire under Joseph Platania. If he has more than two brain cells to rub together he'll want to get out in front of this before the media storm hits. As much as I'd like to hammer the bastard, since there isn't a deal with Dickerman I'd be willing to discuss options with Platania instead. If he wants to work things out with me and let Dickerman take the brunt of this shit, then I'm willing to at least listen to what he has to say first. I'm very much leaning on letting Platania off the hook if he puts Michelle Dickerman's head on the proverbial pike.
Of course there is risk attempting this act with the FOIA request obviously. That's why I might have to make some changes to the living situation that I discussed in the beginning of this post. It's very possible, in fact highly likely, that instead of contacting me Platania will instead be a complete fucking idiot and retaliate against me. He'll possibly make up some excuse so that law enforcement can harass me in some way. Granted it will backfire spectacularly because Platania will actually give me exactly what I need. If he tries putting cuffs on me again or any sort of legal shenanigans, that guarantees that members of the media will absolutely contact me. That's what happened in 2006 after all.
Michelle Dickerman whined in her impact statement about the news media contacting her in 2006, but consider the fact that this was when her identity wasn't even mentioned in any publications. She wasn't the one having her face and name posted everywhere. Meanwhile my name, mugshot, and the jail I was housed within was being broadcasted on state and even some national news outlets. I guarantee that in 2006 I was contacted by far more news agencies than Dickerman ever was, and I know exactly which outlets reached out because I had to sign multiple forms at the jail for each one confirming that I did not wish to speak with them. This refusal to speak was of course due to the advice of my former attorney back in 2006 and it's Lawyer 101 quite frankly. However I won't be refusing to talk to them now, because the media contact is the intention this time.
The simple reality of Joseph Platania and Michelle Dickerman's situation is that they are trapped. Neither one of them can afford to lift a finger against me or do anything to harm me. Because they will be giving me exactly what I need to rip their lives to shreds. No matter what I do, attempting any legal actions ever again will guarantee media exposure for all parties involved in harming me during the shitshow of 2006. It would go very badly for Dickerman and Platania before it was all over, and the 2006 felony charge will simply not stand after people hear everything that took place around it. The optics surrounding 2006 look so incredibly shit that none of the guilty parties are going to avoid getting bent over. I have more than enough to demonstrate a coverup was committed by the Charlottesville law enforcement.
- I can prove I was arrested in Hampton and placed in the lockup, after which Charlottesville police had the investigating officer turn around halfway to C'ville and bring me up to the city jail at night - all so that Charlottesville law enforcement could falsely claim to media outlets that I had been arrested in Charlottesville.
- I can prove Michelle Dickerman claimed I had gone to her residence in Charlottesville via multiple sources, and yet I have Dickerman's own admission in her Victim Impact Statement to the that she was aware I never knew where she lived and worked in Charlottesville the entire time.
- I have proof that critical evidence in my case had "convenient accidents" in law enforcement custody. C'ville law enforcement claimed they mysteriously "lost" the tape recording of my interview with Detective Rudman right after the prosecutor listened to it. They then claimed I had confessed to all charges, when in reality the "lost" recording would have proved this was a lie. The loss of this tape meant it was my word versus two police officers - how convenient for law enforcement that they lost the proof of what was said in that interview. Then C'ville police claimed they damaged my confiscated hard drive so severely that it would take 9 to 11 months to repair before they could obtain any evidence from them. Conveniently leaving Michelle Dickerman's printouts as the sole evidence against me.
- I have proof Michelle Dickerman destroyed evidence the moment she heard of my arrest. I've already gone over this earlier in the post of course. Thanks to her destruction of evidence (which a lawyer would know better than to do this), combined with Charlottesville claiming they damaged my hard drive, it left unverified printouts as the sole evidence used for the prosecution of me.
- I can prove there was blatant tampering on the email printouts Dickerman provided law enforcement, email printouts that as I stated were the sole evidence Charlottesville based the criminal charges on. Combine that with the destruction of evidence committed by law enforcement and Michelle Dickerman that I can prove took place - and you have a very serious problem.
- The prosecution threatened me into pleading guilty (I literally have the very email where they do this), and that they threatened me when I tried to fire my former lawyer. This threat including sending me to the most violent prison in the region if I refused to cave to the threats.
- My former attorney threatened me as well into pleading guilty, and I can prove he directed how I was to answer the judge's questions at the guilty plea hearing.
- In addition to other examples of inappropriate behavior demonstrated by both, my former attorney and prosecutor Joseph Platania had a sexual discussion over the phone about Michelle Dickerman.
- During this call Platania gets excited and attempts to set up a meeting between my former lawyer and Dickerman so they can "chat". Whether my lawyer was telling the truth about turning down said meeting is something I can only speculate on.
- Prosecutor Joseph Platania admits at the guilty plea hearing that one of the terms on my plea agreement, which he also said Dickerman was fully aware of and agreed with, was "the most ever handed out in the history of the Charlottesville Circuit Court". That was his exact words. I'd like to remind readers that Circuit Courts handle felony cases like manslaughter, murder, rape, child molestation, armed robbery, etc.
- I was informed by a Charlottesville corrections officer that "If you punch a UVA student in the face in Charlottesville, you might as well have punched a cop" in regards to how the system there handles it. Statements from others, including a retired VA State Trooper, confirm this behavior. It is well known not only in Charlottesville, but in the surrounding regions of Virginia. When even law enforcement says something is wrong with Charlottesville, it's very clear they need to be investigated.
- For emails to Michelle Dickerman I received harsher penalties than a rich UVA student named Andrew Alston. A UVA student who according to court documents and his voluntary manslaughter conviction, killed a man during an argument by putting 20 stabs wounds in the man. Currently it appears Alston is a licensed attorney in the state of Pennsylvania even with a voluntary manslaughter conviction - his dad happens to be a really big and wealthy attorney in that state from what I've been told.
- Michelle Dickerman's father, Gregory Manweiler, can be proven to have had input in my criminal proceedings along with his wife Carole. Greg Manweiler is a retired CFO of a bank, a former UVA School of Business alumni, was making financial donations to the University of Virginia around the time of my criminal case - and is a former resident of the City of Charlottesville. I have copies of old yearbook scans from a Charlottesville high school that show him, his brother, and one of his sisters. I'm still exploring the accusation that led me to discovering Manweiler's former residence in Charlottesville, but it's bad enough that I have to have it verified with more evidence. It's bad enough that if I run with the accusation and it's wrong, I could definitely have a problem.
Returning to the subject of Platania or Dickerman attempting some very stupid actions. Even if there was an attempt to get me a new felony while all of the publicity and courtroom drama is being hashed out, I'll accept a "Samson Option" for myself where there is mutually assured destruction all around. If I can't get this resolved to my satisfaction then I'm quite okay with making sure everyone else involved loses everything right along with me.
If the outcome of a new attempt to prosecute me means that I get all the media attention I need to shine a light on 2006, then so be it because that's not ending well for Dickerman and Charlottesville. That results in the old felony getting thrown out when the sheer stink of the corruption surrounding that court case is made public. Then it's my turn to use the system as a bludgeon against my enemies. Having a new felony afterwards doesn't mean much after that, not if I can make everyone pay a harsh price for inflicting the old one.
Hell the entire media circus around the events of 2006 might be so bad that no prosecutor wants to touch me with a new felony and it all just gets dismissed in one go. But even if that isn't the case. If having a new felony charge means that the old one is later vacated due to media exposure and I get to hold people responsible for it? That I get to take Dickerman, her parents, and all the other guilty parties (Platania, Rudman, Chapman, Johnson, Charlottesville) to court for everything they have after nearly 20 years worth of civil damages? That I get to completely shred their lives and reputations because of what they did in 2006?
If that's the way it has to be in order for me to hold these people accountable for everything they did, then I'd make that deal. I'll enjoy my new felony while the Manweilers are having to sell their homes and declare bankruptcy over a massive legal judgement. Having a new felony charge isn't so bad when compared to Dickerman having to tell her kids they need to ensure they get scholarships for college because she'll have to write checks to me for the rest of her life.
I'd much rather get this resolved quickly in a way that is satisfactory to me and then move on with my life of course. But if I can't have that and the only option I'm given is that all of us in this are losing in the end, I don't have an issue with that. That path doesn't see Dickerman and her family ever getting any peace in their lives, but if Dickerman wants to make those kind of stupid choices then so be it. Just because I want a resolution that allows me to get justice and then move on with my life, doesn't mean that I'm not prepared to make all of these assholes look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives.
Either we're getting this resolved in court and I get my life back, or we can buckle up for a long and nasty fight where none of us will ever see the end of it. Dickerman doesn't get to demand peace while denying it to me. That's not how any of this is going to work. Unfortunately this is a concept that she's had trouble figuring out from the very beginning, so I can't say I expect her to figure out what should be a simple concept after all this time.
Returning to the issue of Platania's potentially stupid actions. This consideration will require me to change some things with my living situation. As I mentioned, I have an apartment with a roommate in Falls Church but I have my residence set to my parent's home, along with all my mail going there, since I live between the two locations. That presents an obvious problem if Platania decides to be a stupid asshole and try playing legal games.
The last thing I want is for cops to harass people I care about at both locations. I made a point to hide my home in Falls Church so that I can keep that location, as well as one of my vehicles, outside of Dickerman's knowledge, and my roommate has been instrumental in this. It's not beyond the realm of possibility however that police, with all the resources available to them, could find out what apartment I live at in NOVA. That's not a good thing since that means they could be storming into the apartment and harassing my roommate. However, police are far lazier than the public gives them credit for, and they prefer the path of least resistance.
That path of least resistance is the fact that they have a location for me already on file that can easily be looked up. So you can bet they will show up at that address rather than putting in the kind of work needed to track me down in Falls Church. That scenario isn't a good outcome either - not for me, not for my parents, and certainly not for Michelle Dickerman. In fact it's the scenario I want to avoid the most if Platania is dumb enough to try me on. Not only because it isn't my house in the first place, but because there are two really bad outcomes that are highly likely to occur. While either of them will get Dickerman and Platania's life wrecked afterwards, I'd much prefer to not have either scenario happen for obvious reasons.
The first reason is my mother's health, which began a decline post-2006. While she has hung in there, it hasn't been without problems, emergency room visits, and surgeries. It is highly likely that police knocking at her door, or God forbid forcing their way inside, will have serious impact on her health. There is a considerable chance that she passes away from the stress, especially if police forcibly enter, and this is an extremely big concern for me.
It's the primary reason I haven't pushed forward yet. I want Michelle Dickerman to really think things through here. She's never been good at that or ever made competent decisions in this dispute, but I really suggest she start getting better at it now. Whether she or Platania play games here - does Dickerman think that my mother dying as a result of police action is going to end well? Does Dickerman foresee any future where that has a good outcome? Does she seriously think all this ever goes away after something like that? Those questions apply just as much with the second likely scenario.
The second scenario relates to my parent's dog, and you'll have to bear with me while I explain some things. They initially owned a little Shichon dog that their lives completely revolved around. Unfortunately that dog passed away due to cancer, I think around 2021 if I recall. This left my parents pretty heartbroken, especially my stepfather who particularly loved that little dog. That heartbreak thankfully healed a lot when my mother saw a one year old Chihuahua rescue dog in 2024 that had been rescued after being abandoned by his former owner. Once again their lives revolve around that little dog. He helps keep them company especially after the loss of their last dog. While both parent's love him my mother particularly adores him.
What does this have to do with police involvement? Well like most of that particular breed, my parent's Chihuahua can be an asshole. He's also extremely protective and thinks he's a bigger dog than he really is. If a stranger were to walk into the home, especially in an aggressive manner, he's absolutely coming for those ankles. So how do you think he's going to respond to law enforcement, especially if they force their way into the home while everyone else is gone?
If nobody is home but the dog, police have no problems breaking the door to execute a search warrant, dog or no dog. What that dog would experience in that event isn't something I want to think about. Because yes the cops will shoot a damn Chihuahua. They absolutely have shot ankle biters on many occasions and they don't give a shit because they never get held accountable for it. A perfect example is the cop who shot a blind and deaf Shih-Tzu and I wish I were joking about that. You only have to look up the statistics publicly available and you'll be shocked at the average number of dogs cops kill every year. Meanwhile the number of cops killed by dogs remains at zero - more cops have died on the job from bee stings than dogs.
So again, I want Michelle Dickerman to really use her brain for once here. Imagine the scenario that would result should the worst happen. Police force entry on my parent's home, and my mother is left cradling her bloody little dog as cops uncaringly start to trash the house. I mean really think about how that plays out in the media, because getting airtime on the news outlets will absolutely be the next stop for all of this.
Does Dickerman think that the death of my mother, or her holding her dead dog, is ever something that Dickerman gets to just walk away from? The idea of either scenario is bad enough for me that it's the only thing keeping me from attempting the FOIA request right now. Dickerman should be more worried about it happening than I am. If a cop shot that dog it would add a sizable bit of fuel to the media inferno that will come for Dickerman afterwards. There is also no amount of punishment that the court system or media is capable of inflicting on Dickerman that I would ever accept as harsh enough to balance the scales after the death of my mother or her dog.
A 50% chance exists that I'm also at the apartment in Falls Church when police visit my parent's home. My parent's have shared their cameras with me and my youngest sister to help keep an eye on the house. So I'll absolutely know when police show up to the house. I could be sitting in my apartment in Falls Church when I hear in real time the dog get hurt or shot over the phone. Or I hear my mother getting rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, while via the camera app I see the medics doing chest compressions. It shouldn't be difficult to imagine someone's reaction to either event.
Either of those scenarios not only 100% guarantee that this dispute gets air time on national networks, but it also would make Dickerman and her family look considerably worse and experience zero sympathy from the public. Imagine you send some jackboots to cause problems for a guy whose life you destroyed over a lie, and those jackboots end up killing a cute ankle biter in the process. She's already going to catch absolute hell for everything law enforcement did on her behalf, but now add in the public seeing that a small dog was hurt or killed on her behalf. I don't think Dickerman has the capacity to shove her ego aside enough to really understand just how much of a hole that will dig her into. She better start understanding it real quick.
Dickerman certainly better come to an understanding of it, because Platania will likely be too much of an arrogant and out of touch prick to contemplate said repercussions himself. People like him get drunk with their piddly authority and believe themselves untouchable. So while Dickerman might rightly figure out that going down that path is really going to wreck her life, Joe Platania will have no such epiphany. So if I'm forced to go with the FOIA plan because I'm not being given any alternatives to seek justice for 2006, Platania has a high chance of making a very stupid decision that's going to have a serious impact on Michelle Dickerman's life.
I'm not going to take that risk for the near future of course because of the high chance of Platania's stupidity impacting others around me. I don't want my mother suffering a heart attack or having her dog shot by idiots with a badge. I don't want my roommate harassed by cops. So I need to get a physical residence in the tidewater area rather than have that set to my parents' home. This way cops shouldn't have the ability to screw with my parents (or at least the legal ability to do so if I don't live there) because I'll have a separate residence in my name that they can easily find. They won't have any legal basis for messing with my parents and a magistrate or judge isn't likely to grant a search warrant when I clearly have a residence elsewhere. At least I hope I'm right about that. Michelle Dickerman should be heavily concerned if it's possible that I'm wrong. Hell cops have made entry into homes without warrants before so I just have to hope they don't do that at my parents' home.
Getting a second residence in the tidewater area and having it in my name is something I've been kicking around. Having a roommate at Falls Church helps offset the cost of that place. So getting even a house within the areas surrounding Hampton (though never a house in Hampton that's for damn sure) isn't an issue. Once I have secured a physical residence listed in my name that ensures neither my parents nor my roommate get harassed by cops, I'll then have free reign to yank Platania's chain all I want and see if he's arrogant enough to try me.
The FOIA path is definitely one I plan on taking once I have things prepared for it. Frankly I'm going to attempt every available option given to me in order to get justice, not just the FOIA request. The FOIA has a high chance however of bringing media attempt to this case, given how I'm planning to use the accuracy through volume method. Given that it will be an official document that I plan on physically mailing out to a very large number of news directors, on the local, state, and national levels, there is a very good chance some of them will read through it and want to hear more.
If Platania and the Charlottesville police attempt to use the claim that they don't have to release it under the VA code, I'll appeal it in court myself and try to fight that. Whether I win or lose that appeal won't actually matter to me. Yes, I'm interested in knowing what Michelle Dickerman said to Platania/Chapman after reading the plea deal letter. Yes, I certainly want the email exchanges between Rudman and the prosecutors when Rudman was going through my blog posts. Yes, that evidence would likely show that personal favors, and even unethical behavior, took place on the tax payer's dime. But there are two primary reasons behind this FOIA:
- To get media eyes on this case
- To get Charlottesville to say on record that they conducted a criminal investigation for the benefit of a rich UVA student who hadn't even lived in Charlottesville in years, thus admitting to spending city resources on personal favors.
Charlottesville did not have jurisdiction nor justification to criminally investigate anything due to Dickerman's contact at that point. Even if Dickerman had screamed at the prosecutors over not being given information on other alternatives (which I don't remotely believe as I'll explain in a moment), that wouldn't justify a criminal investigation of me nor would it justify Rudman poking through the blog while he was on the clock. Dickerman was no longer a resident of Charlottesville and no criminal activity had occurred - as proven by the fact that Rudman never even contacted me let alone conduct an arrest. So what possible basis did they have for a criminal investigation? None whatsoever. So cough up the damn emails Platania.
As for why I don't believe that Dickerman contacted the prosecution to complain after she saw my former lawyer's plea deal attempt? It's because I guarantee she's already seen it before. Platania made it quite clear on multiple occasions that he was keeping Michelle Dickerman and her parent's well informed about the prosecution of me. He made a point of bringing it up every single time. Platania stated at the guilty plea hearing that Michelle Dickerman had been fully appraised of the plea agreement terms and was "in full agreement" with everything. "But maybe Platania lied" you might be saying. Well that's the thing - Michelle Dickerman's actions have always proven Platania correct.
If they claim they were conducting an investigation as a personal favor for a woman that no longer lived in Charlottesville, that admission of misuse of taxpayer resources just sweetens the pot for any reporters. Especially when considering all the other corrupt things that took place in 2006. Is it a guarantee that everything works out the way I want it to go? Nope, no guarantees on that at all. But Michelle Dickerman should keep a quote in mind that was told to Margaret Thatcher by the IRA - "We have only to be lucky once, you will have to be lucky always". This is regarding anything related to the felony charge and Michelle Dickerman, which includes this FOIA request or challenging the charge in court.
I'm going to send copies of this FOIA out to a large amount of news outlets. As many as I can send. No issues printing and shipping a hundred copies to a hundred different news outlets across the country. All it takes is just one reporter. One reporter runs this story and everything tumbles down on Dickerman's head. Or I go to court, such as with the Writ for example, and with the Writ I get two chances at getting that felony vacated. Through all of it - I just have to get lucky once. Regardless of how many years. No matter how many times. Just one time the dice has to roll my way.
I get lucky once and it's time to rip and tear in court and in the media.
Michelle Annette Dickerman has to be lucky every single time.
The first time I did a FOIA request I was much more "political", for lack of a better term, with my statements. I wanted to be cautious. I did make accusations which involved criminal activity, including those made by law enforcement such as Platania. But I pulled my punches far more than I would have liked. I'm not holding back this time around and I welcome Charlottesville's attempt to do anything to me about it. Because doing anything to me gets me exactly what I want - my turn to put a boot on someone's throat this time around. Not pulling my punches and stating all of my accusations bluntly but professionally, viciously but without hyperbole, will likely grab a reporter's attention.
But here's the thing. Unlike Michelle Annette Dickerman, I've actually considered the possibility that things don't work out the way I hope. That I may end up not getting what I want. That maybe no lawyer takes my case or maybe the court decisions don't go my way. That maybe I can't get the media to pay any attention to what happened. I've absolutely taken into account that I may not be successful. Frustrating as that will be, it isn't like I haven't been there before. It also isn't as if I didn't plan for that event either.
I've already planned for where things are headed in the future should everything not work out. I've been planning for that possibility for a long time. It was actually the plan I had started towards acting on in 2020. I had already reached the point of having zero hope that I'd ever see justice in a courtroom for what these people did. And I made a decision on what I was going to do at that point, and was working towards it. I didn't need to rush and so I didn't. It had already been over a decade after all. The only thing that changed the situation was getting that glimmer of hope. Especially when I found out about the Writ of Actual Innocence. That caused me to apply the brakes and try something else for a bit. It gave me hope where I didn't have any before.
But maybe I don't get to see justice done in a courtroom for what they did to me and my family. Maybe I can't get anyone in the media to listen to me. That's the thing about people refusing to listen of course. If nobody is willing to give you a voice, sometimes you have to make people listen instead. If you have grievances and are blocked from redress at every turn, you end up being forced into finding alternatives instead. If I've got to go back to having no hope then so be it. I've been there before. Though having hope and then seeing it ripped away is going to have a considerable effect on me. Being unsuccessful in any of these attempts doesn't mean I go away. It doesn't mean Dickerman gets to walk away. That's not happening. I want justice and I'm not letting anything stop this from happening. It just might take additional steps before I get there.
As we move down whatever path things take, I'm taking additional steps to try to make a better outcome happen if at all possible, especially on the media front. That involves getting the website in proper shape, which is something I've been seriously lagging behind with. So I will be working on the website after this in preparation for what's to come, and the blog will see less use as a result. A definite issue I want to fix as soon as I can is creating a separate section on the website for updates so that I can remove all that text from the front page. I really need to keep a summary of the events of the case front and center at all times.
I'll also start adding more information and more details obviously, which it should have had from the beginning and it was really slacking on my part to not have that done already. It's just not fun writing about this dispute and it certainly doesn't put me in a good headspace when I do. That's something Michelle Dickerman seriously fucked herself on and maybe in that narcissism riddled brain of her's she is finally figuring that out.
I'd love to have moved on from this so long ago. By the time Michelle Dickerman finally removed her thumb from her rear end and ran to the police after waiting about seven months, I had already preformed my "last gasp" and was ready to walk away. Dickerman knew this of course which is the reason for that timing. Her arrogance had to be satisfied and she knew that no further emails were coming. It was now or never. But had she never talked to Charlottesville police this shit would have been over for both of us in 2006.
Even with her having gone to law enforcement, had she just agreed to the terms my former attorney provided in his plea deal offer we wouldn't be doing this bullshit almost 20 years later. Hell had she actually had an attack of conscience and done something to undo some of that harm over a decade ago when I couldn't get a job, I'd have probably walked away still even with the evidence in my possession. Far, far too late for that now after almost 20 years. Now this is going somewhere very different, and I'm going to destroy her life like she destroyed mine. I hope it was worth it for the asshole.
But that's neither here nor there, I need to focus on the "ripping lives to shreds" part now because that's all that's left. So once again, I need to get the details of this case and the evidence against Dickerman out on the website. That's at least one good thing on the timing of "AI's" current implementation. It will at least help my workflow on the website development, and I've been experimenting with it as Michelle Dickerman found out about on the previous post I made.
AI Illustrations, Sexually Inappropriate Behavior, and Reasons Behind the Coverup
As you can see from the images below, I finally got around to messing with the AI image generation to see what the fuss is about. I'm going to use them to make more political cartoon style satire of the people and events surrounding the railroading of me that took place in 2006 within the city of Charlottesville. It won't just be Michelle Dickerman who gets the AI treatment, you can rest assured on that. Everyone involved in my case that I have images of will get the same treatment. I'm going to use the images to illustrate my walls of text so at least people can see certain concepts at a glance. It'll also help add to the amount of images that pop up on search engines related to my case and searches for Michelle Dickerman.

| AI generated image of Michelle Dickerman as political commentary and satire |
This is only from surface level playing around with the image generating, and from only one of the AI services I've been experimenting with. Depending on the AI model being used you might also have to "trick" the AI into doing exactly what you want, which is what I had to do in some cases. In the example of the two images above the AI model had no issues with producing them.
It did however bitch every time about producing a similarly themed image to the above when I tried using the image I've shown previously of Michelle Dickerman and her father at her wedding. Usually I get a default policy statement answer to my questions that doesn't always narrow down why it won't do it. The only way I could get it to produce a similar style of image like the above with her wedding photo, was to make it generate it in a surreal artistic style. It worked rather spectacularly, but the image the AI produced is so cartoonish and horror movie theatrical that I'm not 100% sure I want to use that one on the blog or website. It does go a bit beyond political commentary and instead enters comedic territory with how nightmarish it is. We will have to see if I wish to use it at least one time.
Considering that the AI had no issues making the two images above, and those requests weren't remotely different from the wedding photo, I have a pretty good suspicion on what the issue might be but just haven't bothered to test it yet. If I had to take a shot in the dark as to why it didn't like doing this edit to the wedding photo, it was most likely a specific issue with the cut of the dress that caused the AI to scream. Maybe the surrealist style made it not scream, since it was just drawing more of a cartoon than a realistic image. I might use an AI with less restrictive guardrails if I try to make political images with the wedding photos.
As for the two images above, I'll probably make more use of them and similar ones I've produced down the road on both the blog and the website. The one with her screaming in a courtroom is a little less easy to recognize as being Michelle Dickerman than the one with flames in the background. So the flames one will probably get used more with variations on that background.
Now before anyone complains about certain exaggerated things on the appearance of Michelle Dickerman in these two images (beyond the expressions themselves, which I don't care if people whine about that). Keep in mind that at no point did the prompt have anything to do with eye shadow. There is nothing that I said to the AI that should have done that at all. In fact when I did a test with unrelated photos (IE non-Dickerman related) where the subject didn't involve heavy eyeshadow use, even the demonic expression did not result in that eyeshadow effect like we see in the above images. The AI did the racoon eyes itself based on what it observed in the original photo. So don't complain to me about what the impartial machine observer did on its own.
I know the AI thing is controversial, so as I start to use it more I may have terminally online people end up in the comments or the email inbox I list on the website. I've seen enough zealot behavior over AI art that I'm not going to rule that out. I would say they shouldn't bother. AI art is not going anywhere, so you either learn to adapt to it or get left behind. Rather than go too off track discussing this, I've inserted a video that mostly sums things up. It's a video by one of the bigger names in the anarchist/antigov social media circles known as Faceless of Low Level Perpetrators, and I think he does a better job than me at answering the complaints with AI art. Especially towards the last half of the video. As for the bright green mask, while it's largely a branding device for him, many in anarchist/antigov media use masks or hide their identity for an obvious reason.
Most reading this can just skip the video however since it's not important to this post, but if you're fuming right now because "OMG he used AI art only the Antichrist would do that!", then you need a reality check and I think the video might be necessary. My concerns with AI aren't about the art and image generation. Instead those concerns involve the opening scene of Terminator 2 (less likely within my lifetime when current security bots are drowning themselves in fountains), and AI use in mass surveillance, control, and invasion of privacy by Government agencies both foreign and domestic (which is the bigger issue *COUGH*Palantir*COUGH*).
As for some of the "political style" commentary, you can see what I mean by that below. Michelle Dickerman has already seen this in my previous post, and it seems that the image may have hit a nerve. Not necessarily at the implication, although I'm sure that is a concern of hers, but it probably would stem more from the realization that I'm going to start putting out images like this.

| AI generated image. Depicting a scenario theorized to have potentially happened in 2006 given the behavior of parties involved, especially prosecutor Joseph Platania |
In this example I used a photo of Michelle Dickerman from her senior year of UVA (I'm sure she recognizes the dress). I wanted to use an older photo of Dickerman that was closer to the criminal events of 2006, since this is intended to depict a hypothetical scenario from the criminal case brought against me that year. I then combined Dickerman's photo with a photo of Prosecutor Joseph Platania I found via Google in order to create a scene.
The photo of Dickerman that was used wasn't the best quality given its age, compared to Platania's photo which had been more recent. The Dickerman photo had been taken in late 2005 I believe. So naturally this old of a photo caused issues with producing a more accurate representation of Michelle Dickerman from it. This example was the closest of the renders to resemble Michelle Dickerman. I think the lower resolution from the original photo caused the AI to fill in some blanks that makes Dickerman look better than she actually did, but I think it's close enough that someone who knows her (or sees the real images of her on this blog) will know who the woman in the image is.

As for why I generated a scene of 2006 Michelle Dickerman (who went by Michelle Manweiler at the time) having dinner with prosecutor Joseph Platania? This is just the start of using AI to represent satirical commentary on, and more importantly interpretations of, scenes that were either actual events from 2006. Or in this case, related to accusations or beliefs on events that likely took place or are believed to have taken place. I want to illustrate the severity of the problem that happened in 2006, in order to get across all the bad behavior that occurred and to help break up my walls of text.
In this example, I'm detailing a scene to demonstrate behavior that I believe had a high chance of taking place during my 2006 criminal case. Charlottesville Prosecutor Joseph Platania, who was at the time an assistant prosecutor poorly handling the case in 2006, demonstrated a great deal of sexual interest in Michelle Dickerman in 2006 and engaged in extremely inappropriate behavior. The first example witnessed of Platania's sexually inappropriate behavior towards Michelle Dickerman was relayed to me by my former lawyer William Johnson.
Johnson said that he had a talk over the phone with Platania that was clearly of a sexual nature. Johnson stated he and Platania were discussing Dickerman's "achievements and her assets" and he emphasized the word assets with a big ear-to-ear grin on his face. This discussion got Joseph Platania very excited, and he suddenly burst out with "So you want to go talk with her?!" as if it was the greatest thing in the world. While Johnson was telling me about this, he had actually mocked Platania in the way the prosecutor had spoken while making the outburst, trying to demonstrate Platania's excitement as a punchline.
Platania would then offer to setup a meeting between Michelle Dickerman and William Johnson so that they can "chat". This wasn't to be a discussion about the case, this was simply so that Dickerman and Johnson could have a talk together. Johnson claimed he turned the meeting down, stating that he wasn't going to commute from Matthews County to Charlottesville and back "for something that wouldn't have an impact on the case". I have only Johnson's word that he didn't accept the meetup with Michelle Dickerman. For all I know he may have agreed to the meeting and just didn't want to fess up to it for obvious reasons. William Johnson was a massive womanizer and I suspect that was the likely behavior that led to his divorce. My mother had brought my sisters to some of the court hearings, and Johnson would blatantly stare at their chests while he was discussing the case with my mother.
So yes, I believe there is a good chance that something was going on behind the scenes. Even if my lawyer hadn't been involved in any of that, I absolutely believe that Michelle Dickerman and Joseph Platania had something going on. It may not have been sexual though my mother, the elderly neighbor I mentioned, and my sisters all think something like that happened. That elderly neighbor, when I discussed Platania trying to set up a meeting between Johnson and Dickerman, flat out stated that she bet my lawyer slept with Dickerman. My family and the elderly neighbor are not the only ones who reach those kind of conclusions either. Everyone who hears the behavior that went on thinks something sexual was happening behind the scenes. Michelle Dickerman is going to have a lot of accusations of inappropriate acts when all of this comes out thanks to the behavior of Joe Platania and William Johnson.
I don't know whether it went that far or not. I don't think Michelle Dickerman is above that sort of manipulation however. Hell I don't think there is a limit to the depths Dickerman is willing to sink to in order to get her way. But regardless of how far it may or may not have went, I do believe there was some history at least between Dickerman and Platania, even prior to when she finally ran to law enforcement. Platania, at least last I checked about two years back, is an adjunct professor at University of Virginia School of Law - Michelle Dickerman's alma mater.
If Platania was an adjunct professor during Dickerman's time in law school, then it would be highly likely that her and Platania had encountered each other prior to the criminal case of 2006. Perhaps that potential for prior history together might be the reason why Michelle Dickerman knew the prosecution would cover for her when the emails were eventually found to have been tampered with. This potential for prior history needs to be investigated. If Platania (or his former boss Warner Chapman) had any prior history with Dickerman, they were legally and morally obligated to bring someone from outside to act as a special prosecutor. All of their behavior towards Dickerman, along with the extremely corrupt acts involved with this case, will be seen in an even worse light if prior history is discovered between any of the parties involved.
The extremely blatant criminal acts on Dickerman's part, combined with what appears to be an extreme willingness by law enforcement to commit a coverup for these acts, needs to be investigated thoroughly to discover the root cause here. Was it just her UVA status? Was it sexually inappropriate reasons? Was it prior history from mutual UVA attendance? Was it her father pulling favors and greasing palms? Was it a combination of all of it? That needs to be found out.
To recap what I mean: I can prove in a court of law that Michelle Annette Dickerman printed one of the claimed emails from her sent messages folder and not her inbox - meaning this printout was not an email that could have come directly from me. I can also prove in a court of law that Dickerman wrote fake dates on individual email sheets. It was an email that had been sent in March, and Dickerman wrote April and May dates on page two and three of that email - in order to claim more emails were sent than what were actually received. I can prove Dickerman destroyed evidence the second she found out I was arrested, evidence which would have shown this tampering to the original messages. This is not up for dispute and Dickerman would be convicted in court with this evidence. She's not the only one that my evidence indicts of course.
It was gross criminal negligence and malfeasance on the part of the Charlottesville law enforcement to have not done their due diligence in paying attention to what they were reading. All of their corrupt and evil acts, already carrying the weight of being illegal such as the violations of civil right, are seen in an even more sinister light when you understand the blatant nature of Michelle Dickerman's tampering. Michelle Dickerman knew she would be caught eventually. The sheer amount of stupidity required of her to not think her tampering wouldn't be seen by law enforcement would just be impossible. She knew they'd see it eventually. Dickerman just figured law enforcement would cover the whole thing up for her - which is exactly what they did. So now we have to ask an extremely important question:
Why did Michelle Annette Dickerman know ahead of time that the Charlottesville District Attorney's Office would be willing to cover for her criminal acts?
Dickerman had to know she'd get caught and yet she was quite confident that there would be no consequences for it. And she was correct - as of yet there have been no consequences for it. Why?
- Was it just a matter of her knowing the status that rich UVA students hold in Charlottesville? Especially since the Andrew Alston case was back in the media conversation, because he was being released right around the time I was arrested?
- Was it because she knew her father might have greased the right palms, so that someone important would lean on the Charlottesville law enforcement to keep them quiet?
- Was it because Michelle Dickerman and Joseph Platania had a prior relationship, perhaps even going as far as being a sexual relationship?
These are important questions that need answering. Michelle Dickerman knew she'd be protected from consequences and Joseph Platania delivered on that. The reason for it needs to be discovered and people need to answer for it with their freedom. A criminal investigation needs to happen to discover why Platania was so willing to to violate laws and civil rights to protect Michelle Dickerman.
I have no doubt that some of the motivation here was UVA student status in Charlottesville, along with the fact that members of law enforcement could be sued if they admitted the mistake they made. But Dickerman would have been extremely unlikely to screw with those emails or destroy evidence, all of which can be proven to have happened, unless she knew ahead of time that nothing would be done to her for committing these acts. The reason behind why she was so confident they would protect her needs to be investigated. As much as I hate to admit it, I think it requires Federal involvement because of the circumstances and rampant corruption inside Charlottesville.
I believe Michelle Dickerman's father Gregory Manweiler may have bribed the right people, or given his former residency in Charlottesville and prior attendance at UVA, he may have simply known the right people to pull favors with. The appearance of greasing the palms of University of Virginia Administration with donations done at the time of my prosecution possibly contributed some as well. I don't think this is an investigation that can be trusted to the Commonwealth of Virginia alone, and it sure as hell can't be entrusted to Charlottesville in the slightest.
Most of these AI illustrations are going to appear on the main website as I continue to develop it to replace this blog. I also may use the AI to help write some of these walls of text in a more professional narrative. I didn't want to attempt it this time around, so with this one you get the long rambling human written post that was put together like a jigsaw puzzle over the past few months. I don't think that's going to cut it for the website. Especially since I want it to be the front facing representation of this case when I push forward via either the post-conviction method or the FOIA method.
Closing Statements
This has been a pretty significant wall of text, but I think this is the point I need to go ahead and get this finalized for posting ASAP. I've been delayed on moving forward with a lot of this, but then again I've been waiting 19 years now for justice to be done against these people. I intend on getting that no matter what. For the time being that will focus on the post-conviction lawyer and potential help from legal aid organizations. At the moment it's too early for me to predict whether I can move forward on that avenue, since I'm still in the email info exchange at the moment. If I can't get any traction with either of those, then I'll do the FOIA request method to force this case out in the public eye. If that doesn't work either ... well I'll cross that bridge the day that I come to it.
