Unfortunately, the investigation into Andrew Thomas's corruption and abuse of power did not include the cover ups and misconduct by him in the investigation of Mark. However, I still watched and read with glee as this dangerous and arrogant man was stripped of harming anyone else from a position of power. Because of his unwillingness to admit his wrongdoing, he will probably never meet the ethical standards to reinstate his license to practice law. Thank goodness.
Popularity may make a person admired, but it does not make one
honorable. Power may give a person influence, but it does not make one
trustworthy. Authority may give a person control, but it does not make one
dependable.
. . .
is how the Andrew Thomas is depicted in this scathing written decision. This prosecution of Andrew Thomas was
unprecedented in history.
Here,
from the written decision, are only some of the other descriptions of Thomas
and his completely bankrupt code of ethics.
He was
equaled to ousted and criminally prosecuted Carolina
District Attorney Michael Nifong:
. . . North Carolina District Attorney Michael Nifong, resulting in his
disbarment for his conduct regarding the Duke University lacrosse case is not
ancient history.
. . . growing, profound arrogance or a supreme confidence that his (Thomas)
power had no boundaries. Perhaps because of his might he believed he was right.
Clearly the startling absence of any evidence in these prosecutions did not
hinder the flex of that power.
Unshackled,
a treacherous power to “get” people, regardless of the fact that they were
innocent, was set loose. The result is
unmistakable from the hundreds of exhibits and the mountains of transcripts
within this case.
There was an intentional abandonment of even a semblance of true
investigative techniques.
Motivated by such declared revelation they compounded their corruption
by embracing duplicity, deceitfulness and deception. . . . They ignored the law
and rules to achieve their objective.
They ignored the law and rules to achieve their objective.
A gaping void was opened in the life of the people of Maricopa County
where any citizen’s rights could be burned as part of the maintenance of this
fake conspiracy.
This case is regrettable proof that the absence of ethical behavior
fuels uncontrollable actions.
He was willing to shear away the Constitution from citizens of this
country to accomplish his goals
They never looked for evidence, because they always knew there was none.
Respondents Thomas and Aubuchon joined hands to inflict an economic
blizzard on that public and multiple individuals which is paled only by the
intentional infliction of emotional devastation their icy calculated storm left
in its wake. That harm is irrefutable, yet still finds Respondents without a
shred of remorse.
Mr. Thomas discerned he had in Ms. Aubuchon someone all too willing to
do whatever was necessary to hammer his opponents, real or imagined, into
submission.
