Mark Turner Notes



I started writing about Mark Turner a few weeks ago. I attempted to sort out Mark's complicated problems but had incomplete information. I have since erased my attempt.


Mark's past used car business needs to be examined by a court appointed accountant. The Trial Judge and Prosecutor did not have the background to make a decision in Mark's case. They accused hims of money laundering and, he was found guilty, and they wrongly sentenced him and denied him an appeal.


Florida has it's own laws and rules, but regardless, Mark's case was not handled correctly.  He should be granted a re-trial. 


Three things stand out:

1. Mark Turner has been wrongly sentenced
    to 3 terms of 12.5 years each in prison.

2. He (Mark) brought a $36,000,000 civil lawsuit
    against Pete Moore in 2002 and it is still pending.

3. Pete Moore is a very slippery fellow.

Bump, the $205,000 was acknowledged by the court via Moore's attorney. I have found any evidence that Moore was involved in selling cars in Mexico, and I have no idea whether or not that would be legal. It isn't a part of Mark Turner's case.

The Mexico/Cab Tice connection goes to the murders of Bud Billings and his wife - according to the alleged murderer, Patrick Gonzalez. Mark was not involved in this and no one has indicated that he was involved in sales to Mexico at all.

I would pay someone $205,000 if that is all that stood in front of my civil suit moving forward for $36 Million!

You ask in #7 "Mark paid $205,000 Does that make sense to anyone?"

Mark had a civil suit going against Moore. Mark questioned the amount with Rick Hamilton. Rick told him to just pay it and it would get sorted out later. Moore's lawyer felt that was what Mark owed Pete. Having a 20 year friendship and business relationship with Rick he trusted him. Mark's lawyer told him to pay it and it would all be sorted out later. Mark took their advice and paid it to show he was not trying to cheat anyone and felt it would be sorted out when everything went to trial. It was never sorted out during the trial because Moore never told anyone he got that check of $205,000. It wasn't until the restitution hearing that Mark demanded the court to prove what he owed that it was discovered he'd over paid Pete. Mark's criminal lawyers didn't think Mark was entitled to a hearing on restitution. It took his sister-in-law an attorney from NYC to show them Florida law that he was. Mark NEVER got a fair trial and was railroaded throughout this whole ordeal along with his whole family. They have suffered tremendously at the hands of these evil people in power!

Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous . . . Okay. Okay. Okay. I am convinced that Mark got a bad deal. I will re-open my effort to figure it all out. You may want to look at my answer in the comments on my post #1.

Thanks.

I would like to inform you of one fact that is not on Mark's website as I recall. I sat in court and watched this trial. I watched as Nancy Turner, Mark's wife sat outside the courtroom for days waiting to be called in as a witness. She was never called! This was a ploy by the DA to keep her out of the courtroom so she could not be seen supporting her husband to the jury. Mark's mother was also a witness and after she was called to testify twice she was excused as a witness from court and she sat down in the courtroom by her daughter. All of a sudden the DA saw her sitting there in support of her son and asked that she be subject to a telephone recall after he had just told the judge she could be released. (See court transcript on this part) So she had to leave the courtroom and was never able to be in court to support her son other than her testimony. He NEVER recalled her either. This was a ploy to keep Mark's mother from supporting her son and to keep Mark's wife from supporting her husband and to keep Nancy from being able to work to support her family. I tell you these people are EVIL!

Why Blackwater Mercenaries

Over some years the name Blackwater shows  up in the news. It is, by their own estimation, the largest mercenary group in the world. I think I first noticed it when reports from Iraq mentioned they were employed (by whom?) to escort and protect members of the Iraqi government from place to place. Then I became aware that they had joined several of the firefights between our marines and Iraqi enemies. I wondered just how these mercenaries (that supposedly came from the United States) were  hired by someone (who?) to fight? That led to the question of just who would be responsible if a situation involved the accidental killing of an innocent bystander? It  might be a little sticky for an unauthorised mercenary contracted by the United States but not a member of our military forces.  Or suppose a Blackwater type killed a military Iraqi combatant and was then captured by the enemy. Would he be treated as a spy, or as a American combatant, or whatelse...

Gloves Off

. OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS BETRAYED OUR TRUST AGAIN. Whether we are Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, makes no difference at all. Our legislators voted according to "what's best for them". It was clear that the people want to reduce the costs and improve access to our overall health care system. It was also VERY CLEAR that they did not want the 2000 page legislative monstrosity that was produced by a small number of far left liberal Democrats, who worked behind closed doors to fashion a pork filled blunderbuss that virtually no one has been able to read, or discuss, or debate, or offer alternatives to specific unreasoned clauses. It is (now) a BAD BILL , passed by BAD POLITICIANS, that compose a BAD MINORITY segment of America's out-of-control government. AND WE HAVE NO LOGICAL WAY TO PAY FOR IT EITHER. The far left liberals like to point at  SOCIAL SECURITY   as a text book success. They are wrong and will not admit it despi...

Peter Arnett Visits The Geezers

PETER ARNETT 7-22-2010 Yesterday our guest at the  Geezer's Book Club meeting was the intrepid journalist, Peter Arnett.  Ray Herndon, one of our regular members, has known Peter Arnett for over  40 years. They were friendly competitive reporters during the war in Viet Nam, and the friendship has survived several wars since.  Peter began speaking with an overview of his time in  Viet Nam, and then briefly related a few highlights of the first 1st and 2nd war in Iraq.  After taking a deep breath, Peter focused on the intended subject of the day, China and the Chinese people.   CHINA Peter is now teaching journalism at a college about 400 miles north of Hong Kong, near the Chinese coast. Peter is 76 years old, in good health, full of energy and enjoys his job as an educator. In that capacity he is able to travel unhindered (not everyone can) throughout China. He has personally observ...
