|
|
Below are some of the most compelling, not to mention deeply disturbing, articles concerning what I believe is the completely UNjust and wrongful conviction of Raye Dawn Smith. I'm going to put each link in a separate thread in this area, as the issues in each story are too detailed for just one post. There are four separate stories.
1. US Observer - Oklahoma: Prosecutor Pushes False Prosecution
http://www.usobserverok.com/archive/edition1-07/kelsey-smith-briggs.htm
All I can say is read each news article, and judge for yourself. Each one of them makes me spitting MAD...at the Briggs family, and the Lincoln County DA's office, who in my opinion was such a complete idiot to listen to Kathie Briggs at all.

2. US Observer-Oklahoma: DHS Visitation Logs
http://www.usobserverok.com/articles/kelsey/kelsey-visitation.htm
Interesting that the DHS logs note a huge difference between the loving way little Kelsey acted with her mom and the hostility and avoiding behaviors Kelsey showed toward her PATERNAL grandparents, Kathie Briggs, her husband, and Ashley Briggs.

3. US Observer-Oklahoma: "Conspiring With the Enemy"
http://www.usobserverok.com/articles/kelsey/kelsey-emails.htm
Why would a "loving grandmother" of her beautiful little granddaughter be emailing the murderer at all?

4. US Observer-Oklahoma: "An Obsession CONtinues"
http://www.usobserverok.com/articles/kelsey/kelsey-obsession.htm
QUOTE:
Kathie Briggs now claims, "I am no longer obsessed with Raye, she is in prison." Briggs' statement shows the public the direct correlation between Kathie's "obsession" and a desire to see Kelsey's mother behind bars."
END QUOTE
Interesting contradiction, to say the least.

Here is a link to the story about RDs letter. This news reporter has always sided with the Briggs and you can see here how she twists the wording. This news reporter has also asked RD repeatedly for an interview which RD has denied. Unfortunatly news is about ratings and not the truth. And the witch hunt continues.

The title of the news link says "FOX 25," which makes it an affiliate and for me says it all. As far as I'm concerned, "Fox news" can be described in either of two ways; Fox Noise or Fixed News. I consider nothing that comes from them to be anything but yellow (tabloid) journalism. This "article" is just more of the same.

This was sent to the FKM site after someone requested info about USObserver being paid for by the Smith family.
Kathie Briggs and several supporters have intentionally perpetuated a
lie (among many) claiming the US~Observer Oklahoma was paid to write
our article regarding Kelsey Smith-Briggs. We have received many
emails forwarded to us where Kathie claims, "The Observer is not a
newspaper. It is a tabloid paper published once they are paid by a
family to print a story." The US~Observer is a newspaper in existence
for more than 15 years. Its sole purpose is to fight injustice and
wrongful prosecution in the justice system. Kathie's distinction
between newspaper and tabloid is uneducatedly cute; tabloid is a
newspaper industry term to describe format size, not content.
Furthermore, the US~Observer Oklahoma never received a single dime for
either the investigation or the writing of the Kelsey Smith-Briggs
story. Let me be very clear - neither family (Briggs or Smith) paid
the US~Observer Oklahoma one cent to publish anything - our bank
records attest to this. We published gladly to expose a vindictive
temper tantrum and the weight of politics over evidence in the justice
system.
Kathie Briggs also makes a false claim that one of our reporters
"apologized ... after the trial." Kathie was not present and three
of our staff can attest to what was said. No such apology was ever
made. The only apology ever given between the Briggs and a member of
the US~Observer is in a recording of Kathie Briggs telling one of our
reporters in the halls of the courtroom, "I'm sorry. I know you're just
doing your job." The US~Observer Oklahoma stands behind our article
and the investigation and sources that produced it: court records &
transcripts, police records, sources in DHS, CASA, police departments,
court employees, DHS record(s), military sources and sworn affidavits.
Kathie Briggs is a doctor of spin and a manipulator of fact but when
this exceeds her reach she lies. Kathie is a liar for saying we
received money to investigate and write this story and she is a liar
for saying an apology was given. We look forward to exposing her in
both the public and legal setting. For all her use of the words
slander and liable, she obviously knows neither the definition nor the
application. _________________ I expect to pass through this world but once.
Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
- Stephen Krebbet, 1793-1855 |

I especially agree with the last part of that statement. She comes across to me (and obviously to many others) as arrogant, abusive and especially vindictive to anyone who disagrees with her.
It will be a pleasure for me to see her lies and vindictiveness exposed completely in public for all to see, and all her credibility GONE. Not that she had any from me to begin with.

IMO they seem to have issues with anyone that can see the truth in what happened and what is still happening and then go on the attack.
Thank you for posting that NM, it just goes to show again that they attack anyone that see's things differently and tries to bring the truth to light.
As for the "News", I agree with you 100% J1, as I have said in other posts, I have come to the conclusion that the media only shows one side of the story and would rather have ratings than integrity. _________________ This is my opinion. Have a great day. |

Thanks, but I wouldn't go as far (yet) to say that ALL of the print media consistently print only one side of any criminal case that it's covering. There are a few that publish the other side when the editorial staff sees that only one side has been reported and the other side of the story needs to be publicly address.
From what I have read so far, the US Observer-OK is one of them, although I'm sure Kathie Briggs and her supporters would strongly disagree, to put it mildly.
The trouble is that the costs of running any kind of print publication can often be astronomical. Any small business owner of one of these papers is heavily dependent on advertising and subscription revenues to keep their papers going. If you (the owner) manage to make a large segment of the community angry by printing the unpopular side of a story, you can suffer serious consequences in the form of advertisers refusing to advertise anymore in your paper and former subscribers cancelling their subscriptions.
No advertising or subscriptions eventually means NO PAPER. Which is why many of them don't take the risk of publishing the unpopular side, they don't want to risk losing advertising and/or subscription revenues, and risk going under.
