McGee/Jackson will not be held accountable for criminal behavior
Today Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Karen Loebel issued a letter stating that charges would not be filed against Milwaukee Alderman [tag]Michael McGee[/tag] (aka Michael Jackson) for threatening to kill his ex-mistress while in court for a hearing on a [tag]restraining order[/tag].
During the May 17 hearing, McGee/Jackson turned to Kimley Rucker and said:
If you drive past my house, I will kill your ass.
The District Attorney’s Office was supposedly considering charges of [tag]disorderly conduct[/tag] and violation of a [tag]domestic abuse[/tag] injunction.
Part of the reason McGee/Jackson is not being prosecuted is because of the [tag]First Amendment[/tag]. Loebel cites “[tag]free speech[/tag]” in this case, and says that he can’t be prosecuted for disorderly conduct for this “[tag]protected speech[/tag]“. She makes a distinction between a “threat” and a “true threat”.
Apparently, in Loebel’s mind, McGee/Jackson’s statement that he’d kill his ex-mistress was not a “true threat”. For there to be a “true threat”, the speaker of the threat has to believe that the listener will believe he intends to follow through.
Loebel says McGee/Jackson’s statement was an instruction for Rucker to stay away from him, but not a serious threat of [tag]bodily injury[/tag]. She further says that Rucker’s July 20 request to amend the restraining order to prohibit only domestic abuse contact (meaning that they COULD have non-violent contact) shows that she didn’t take the threat seriously.
Has Loebel never seen an abused woman who genuinely fears a man but still allows him back into her life?
It is amazing how this so-called leader gets away with criminal activity time after time. When will he be held accountable for his crimes and his frauds?
