PLEASE READ AND SHARE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WITH EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW CONCERNING THE RACE FOR STATES ATTORNEY. PLEASE HELP US TELL THE TRUTH AND STOP THESE VICIOUS ATTEMPTS TO ALTER YOUR VOTE. ALSO WATCH FOR MY COMMENT AT THE END OF THIS LETTER:
Please share this response to all you can. Thank you.
Many of you have received a disturbing and false letter from my opponent’s supporter, Attorney David Towns. This type of attack typically occurs last minute so as to not allow me the time to properly respond. I would like to respond now with the truth.
The truth is that this was a tragic accident. Mr. Towns, while leaving the VFW, walked out in front of a moving vehicle. It was dark out. It was raining. He crossed well beyond the crosswalk on Appleton which could have alerted drivers to his crossing the road.
A complete investigation was done. A video actually captured the incident. An accident reconstruction was performed. All of this revealed that the driver was traveling 25 mph in a 35 mph zone. A white SUV was immediately in front of her, blocking her view of Mr. Towns’ crossing the road. After Mr. Towns walked out in front of her vehicle, the driver immediately pulled over, hysterical over what had happened. She cooperated fully with the investigation. She was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs of any kind. She did not cause this accident.
She was charged with not having a license and not having insurance. Belvidere Police Department did not seek
further charges because there were no further charges to be filed against the driver.
Throughout the letter, my opponent’s supporter used the term “Illegal Alien.” This is an obvious attempt to invoke prejudice and hate to gain votes. How is her status relevant? I do not even know what her status is, and they certainly do not either! There are no charges for me to file solely upon a person’s legal status. That is a federal issue.
Mr. Towns is a local criminal defense attorney who was the campaign manager of my former opponent and is working on my current opponent’s campaign. This is yet another attempt to garner votes from a tragic accident.
It is time we all grow up and quit this type of political hypocrisy in Boone County. We have never been a county of dirty politics so let's not start now. I know I support Michelle Courier and you have every right to support your own choice, but is it really necessary to sling mud? Also every attorney I have known in my career as a police officer and beyond had to take an oath to represent their client regardless of public and or personal feelings. I have known of real criminals, (and I am not saying this is a criminal case) have been set free or had reduced sentences contrary to popular opinions. It is still going on today and will continue to go on even if Ms. Smith gets elected. She will also have to make tough calls that will ultimately make people hate her. Let's stop the foolishness and just vote for who you think is best suited for the job. I personally believe Michelle Courier has a far better proactive approach to stopping crime before it occurs rather than just prosecuting AFTER the fact. Please do not be fooled into thinking Michelle is NOT doing her job.
