Mike Jones


The only REAL mistakes Mr. Alan Barlow made were 1) being associated with me; and 2) possessing integrity. Follow the documents to see a horrendous miscarriage of justice on the part of the local judiciary and legal eagles. But, it is not over "boys". Just wait for it.

One real loss is that Mrs. Barlow had her lovely dog destroyed owing to these yahoos. ALL deserve to lose their licenses, in my opinion.

A Case of Double Jeopardy and 

Violation of Mr. Barlow's 5th Amendment Rights


One thing you should know or recall is that Mike Jones was THE biggest proponent of turning the Marting's building into city offices. His "vision" never died no matter what the taxpayers said. Only when he was "forced" to take another job after he "screwed the pooch" with the municipal court judges has his quest been put into abeyance.






But, lo and behold, Mike Jones tells Mr. Barlow that "someone who will remain nameless" doesn't like Judge Schisler's decision and that they are going to "do it over"...ergo, the case of double jeopardy.

Not liking what I heard and knew, I suggested that we consult another attorney with whom I had worked, Rick Nash. Mr. Nash met with us and said it clearly was a case of double jeopardy and that he would file a motion to dismiss based on those grounds the next morning. Later the next day, he convinced Mr. Barlow (without my presence) to take the "plea bargain" his attorney and the judge(s) had concocted. This was late afternoon July 3, 2012. It made no sense to me. And then this story appeared in the Columbus Dispatch.

Oh, and by the way, if you search for the following document in court records...it does not exist. Fearing that documents might go missing, I asked my 70+ year old fellow investigator to go get all the records. He came up with this one too!

But...by the time this August story appeared, Mr. Barlow had already 1) been before Judge Mowery who asked, "Do it over? What is going on here?" to the prosecutor who said he had no knowledge of what had transpired. Judge Mowery vowed to get to the bottom of it. (What about the police officer who called Mr. Barlow's insurance carrier in Columbus to advise them of the case and the second case? And the staff member in the un-elected mayor's office who called AEP about Mr. Barlow's vicious dog? There's more.)

After this, we met with Mr. Nash on July 3 and, as you can see from the above court record, 

2) Judge Mowery heard the case on July 6 and found Mr. Barlow guilty (owing to the prearranged plea of no contest).

I sat in the courtroom that day. I had to see it for myself. I left the municipal building where I had been vilified by these same boys and their like. I just shook my head as I got into my 1995 Toyota Camry wagon (a.k.a. the dog car) and drove back to my modest home.

It took Mr. Barlow numerous attempts and nearly two years to get the following transcript...and a strange question comes to light when he finally enlisted the assistance of his 1st Ward Council member  (email follows).

Shame on ALL of you!!!


But wait, there's more. Much more for judicial candidate Mike Jones. What went on with Mikey's ill-fated purchase of the Crispie Creme Donut Shop? What the heck is going on here? Looks weird. Could it possibly be that he got his mortgage paid at tax-payers expense? Is the USDA's Inspector General on the case? Let's hope so.
