Vernon says it is on his tape and it is not. I honestly dont know how you can believe anything he says. If he chooses to try to continue being a cop, I would like to be in the courtroom the next time he takes the witness stand. It will not be pretty.

Its obvious he would have known that anything he charged sentell with would be reviewed via the video...since in fact he was the one making sure it was being recorded. clearly the man inadvertently got confused on what exactly was said where, but there is absolutely no doubt that sentell was throwing names around attempting to intimidate vernon with a lawsuit, which anyone of reasonable intelligence would consider their job hanging in the balance. This is not rocket science and im glad the civil service board did their job. im disappointed with halphen that he did not stand behind his officer on this, he will get to live with this during his retirement. the man was doing his job and unfortunately had a nutcase DA from Webster under our GREAT and HIGHLY Respected DA MARVIN (added sarcasm) acting like a complete fool and totally disrespecting law enforcement which he is patently supposed to be defending as a prosecuter. <br /><br />we need more vernons out there and less sentells and marvins if you ask me. the good ole boy network needs to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-13626688279370602052010-02-04T17:38:13.811-06:002010-02-04T17:38:13.811-06:0090 days suspension90 days suspensionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-35656673408184834102010-02-04T17:37:24.814-06:002010-02-04T17:37:24.814-06:00Breaking news:

Vernon testified at internal affairs that the threat was made about his job and that it was on video. He then viewed the video (which had the lawsuit threat on it) and changed his story to say the intimidation threat was NOT ON THE VIDEO, it was outside the car. So, there goes your "lawsuit threat" theory. Vernon himself said that aint the threat which brought the charge to Sentell. Any new theory to deny the obvious? - Vernon simply lied and got caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-83805111304424591642010-02-04T16:02:24.750-06:002010-02-04T16:02:24.750-06:00Says something about Vernon that he got an ambulan...Says something about Vernon that he got an ambulance chasing sleazeball like Joel Pearce to represent him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-1275557732804821452010-02-04T15:03:40.014-06:002010-02-04T15:03:40.014-06:00from ANON post 9:47...on the tapes Sentell threate...from ANON post 9:47...on the tapes Sentell threatens a lawsuit..we all hear that..if i were the officer, i would surmise from that he was meaning my job..if only based on this alone, i think interpretation is the question..not lying on a report.

Do you think you can put those statements in the order in which they were stated? Why would the officer lie about it. And why would Sentell plead the fifth? Use your God given common sense here folks. Ultimately the officer lost his job just as he said Sentell told him he would.
