Particular Pathologies

It appears that the employees of the entire Buncombe County criminal “justice” system are afflicted by a particular pathology that makes it virtually impossible for them to conduct themselves in an honest and legal manner. I for one am sick and tired of corrupt local police, sheriffs and District Attorneys running riot in the judicial system; doing as they please while the rest of us suffer.

We must demand the immediate resignation of District Attorney Ron Moore in relation to the recent revelations concerning his role in evidence tampering in the murder case of Kenneth Kagonyera and Robert Wilcoxson. Furthermore there should be a full investigation into Moore’s mishandling of said trial. Finally, if the allegations are confirmed formal charges should be filed against Mr Moore and anyone else in the DA’s office involved in this case. We need real meaningful change in Asheville if we are to every break the cycle of corruption and negligence that has plagued this beautiful city for years. This must start with a progressive civic campaign aimed at holding Asheville’s corrupt judicial system accountable.

Ron Moore should be sitting in the cell right next to Bobby Medford, and many people know it. Moore's day of reckoning is coming.
