Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court Earle B. Turner has agreed, with conditions, to change an erroneous case docket date that falsely and fraudulently denotes that a document filed on May 22, 2009 was filed on May 26, 2009 regarding a criminal matter before Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough. The judge presided over what community activists are calling a malicious prosecution of local Black journalist Kathy Wray Coleman and is accused of directing Turner and his staff to falsify the case docket so that the document would be seen as filed untimely relative to any appeal by Coleman.
Following a two day trial held last May before Keough, a jury found Coleman not guilty of misdemeanor charges of aggravated disorderly conduct, making false alarms, and obstruction of official business, but guilty of resisting the arrest as to the alleged bogus charges brought by the City of Cleveland. After trial Keough dismissed Coleman's trial attorney, Carole A Lohr, following impropriety, and Coleman, on May 22, 2009, filed a timely motion for an extension to hire new counsel to file a motion to seek dismissal of the resisting arrest jury verdict.
Coleman has yet to be sentenced and said that following any sentencing she will appeal. She said also that she will file a complaint with the bar seeking to urge Keough to withdraw as judge in the matter because former Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Presiding Judges Nancy McDonnell and Eileen A. Gallagher denied two affidavits of prejudice filed against Keough by Coleman and refused to remove the judge from the case because of what Coleman says is corruption, racism, and a party obligation to protect their White Democratic colleague no matter what she does to Blacks and women.
Coleman and her post trial attorney, Wayne Kerek, say that the resisting arrest verdict came with Keough's illegal jury instructions, jury tampering under the judge's direction, prosecutorial misconduct, and no complaint or testimony at trial from sole White male arresting peace officer Gerald Pace. Kerek has sued the judge, the City of Cleveland and others on Coleman's behalf, alleging malicious prosecution, abuse of process, intentional infliction of emotional distress and other claims.
Coleman says that Turner and his staff, along with Keough, documented the date of her extension motion filed May 22, 2009 as having been filed on May 26, 2009 so that if and when Coleman appeals the case to the Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals,with Keough's denial of the motion, it would be seen as untimely filed.
According to Coleman, Kerek contacted her by telephone yesterday, saying that he had spoken with Turner's Chief of Staff, Ron Tabor, and Tabor allegedly said he would correct the case docket to reflect the actual filing date of May 22, 2009 if Coleman would agree to a written stipulation as to the correction. Tabor , said Coleman, had ignored previous requests by Kerek to correct the case docket but took a different position after the journalist asked Kerek to assist her in filing a police report of the alleged tampering with public records, a felony offense, against Judge Keough, Turner and Tabor.
"Attorney Kerek requested that I agree to a type of wording demanded by Tabor in order for him to comply with the law and correct the filing date where I noted that Tabor and Turner should simply correct the case docket and that I could not participate relative to their ongoing malfeasance," said Coleman. "We again call for a comprehensive FBI investigation of Turner, Tabor and Judge Keough as to the ongoing falsification of criminal case dockets in the Cleveland Municipal Court designed to hurt Black and other criminal defendants relative to appeals by documenting untimely dates of timely filings on case dockets relative to proceedings before Judge Keough."
Keough has entered a case docket entry stating that falsified case docket filing dates as to documents filed on Coleman's behalf should not be corrected. She is now the Democratic nominee for an open seat on the Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals, running against Republican nominee, Brian Moriarty.
"Data show ongoing corruption by Judge Keough and how certain leaders in the Black community can support this woman amazes me," said Coleman. "We would again ask that the Cleveland Plain Dealer Newspaper investigate this White judge in the same manner that it investigates Black female judges such as Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Angela Stokes, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold and Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court Judge Alison Nelson Floyd."
The Cleveland Call and Post Newspaper, a weekly that targets the Black community, previously published articles detailing Keough's harassment of Coleman but according to Coleman, the judge continued full speed a head with her unprecedented harassment. During the trial before the judge last May Keough directed jurors not to read the Call and Post and city prosecutors, under the leadership of Cleveland Law Director Robert Triozzi, who usurped the role of Chief Prosecutor Victor Perez to bring the charges against Coleman for alleged political reasons, dogged it saying nobody even reads it.
Coleman claims that the alleged malicious prosecution is in part harassment for 38 articles on race issues written by the 16 year journalist and published in 2008 in the Call and Post as well as efforts by Triozzi to get at Call an Post Publisher Don King and Legal Counsel George Forbes for allegedly endorsing Cleveland Mayor Jane Campbell in 2005 over Frank Jackson, who ousted Campbell to become mayor of the predominantly Black major metropolitan city, and who last year won a second four year term.
