Lipton Synopsis:




TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,                                                                   May 29, 2012

ISSUES WITH MY CASE, SOME YEARS AGO I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP THAT INVOLVED THE SHERIFF RON SEALS FRIEND (GERALD MILLER A WEALTHY MAN) HE WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE T.B.I  AND CLEARED DUE TO COVERED UP EVIDENCE.DWAIN JOHNSON HEAD AGENT CAN FILL YOU IN 865-549-7800 THIS TRAFFIC STOP WAS EVEN TAKEN OUT OF THE COMPUTER BY THE SHERIFF LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED I TOOK A POLYGRAPH ON THIS AND PASSED IT TOO! (SEE POLYGRAPH)

A FEMALE CAME FORWARD WITH INFO ON THE ABOVE INCIDENT JUST RECENTLY AND THE F.B.I AGENT KT HARPER WITH THE KNOXVILLE OFFICE WAS RECENTLY LOOKING INTO THESE MATTERS HE FELT HE HAD THE NEEDED INFO TO RE-OPEN THE ABOVE CASE DUE TO THE COVER UP. HIS CELL NUMBER 865-740-3799
ON NOV 16 2009 WE TRIED TO GET A WARRANT AND WAS TOLD TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY THE 17TH DUE TO A POLICE REPORT NOT BEING READY, ON THE 17TH WE WERE TURNED AWAY AND TOLD I WAS UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION A DAY AFTER ONSCENE POLICE DECIDED NOT TO MAKE ANY ARRESTS AND SAID THE MATTER WAS A PRIVATE PROSECUTION NOBODY WAS ARRESTED. WE WERE THE FIRST TO SEEK WARRANTS AT ABOUT 930 AM THE ACCUSER THEN WAS ALLOWED AT 6PM TO GET HIS WARRANT AND I WAS ARRESTED NO INVESTIGATION FILE EXISITS OTHER THAN JUST STANDARD INCIDENT FORMS. IT WAS A STALL TACHTIC TO HOLD ME AT BAY I EVEN HAVE A TAPED 

CONVERSATION THAT THE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES SAID I WASN’T GOING TO BE CHARGED. (HAVE AUDIO ON CELL PHONE WILL TO YOU) I  EVEN WENT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL JIMMY DUNNS OFFICE AND LEFT A MESSAGE THAT I WAS JUST REFUSED A WARRANT TO CALL ME HE TO DATE NEVER HAS.
DURING MY 2009 DIVORCE A LAWYER NAMED MRS FELICIA WHITE SAID AS WE EXITED THE COURT HOUSE SHE HAS NEVER SEEN A JUDGE ACT THAT WAY TOWARD AN INDIVIDUAL (ME) SOMEONE HAS GOT TO HIM IN REGUARDS TO YOUR TRAFFIC STOP HER NUMBER IS 865-577-1644.

DURING THE NOV 2009 INCIDENT MY ATTORNEY AND I PROVED TO THE ASST DA GEORGE IOANEDESE  THAT HIS CLIENT GAVE FALSE TESTIMONY AS TO WHO HE WAS WITH THAT DAY IN HISTORY UNDER OATH TO HIM HE OFFERED A DISMISSAL  ON DEC 6 2011  IF HE FOUND OUT IT WAS FALSE. HE VERIFIED THE SAME FACTS 2 TIMES WITH THE WITNESS HIS CLIENT NAMED FALSELY AND THEN WITHOUT REASON FAILED TO GIVE US THE DISMISSAL AS PROMISED AND ALLOWED HIS CLIENT TO TESTIFY KNOWINGLY TO FALSE INFORMATION TO THE JURY. (SEE LETTERS BETWEEN LAWYERS)

THE MANS DAUGHTER AND WIFE WERE ON PROBATION DURING MY ATTACK FOR DEALING DRUGS AND NOTHING WAS EVER DONE.

THE MAN HENRY SUTTON IS UNDER INVESTIGATION WITH TN DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE FOR FRAUD\TAX EVASION CHIEF AGENT DAVID REMKEE 615-365-6200 HE IS ALSO BEING LOOKED AT BY THE INVESTIGATORS OF D.H.S  INVESTIGATOR RICHARD CARR 865-594-6060 ASK FOR HIM AT EXT 1268 ALSO THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL IS LOOKING INTO FRAUD MATTERS AGENT KC DUNAVAN 615-687-7264.

THE MAN CLAIMED HE WAS STRUCK WITH MY GUN AND RECEIVED INJURY NO D.N.A WAS EVER TESTED DESPITE THE EVIDENCE PEOPLE 2 OF THEM BEING TRAINED IN THE DNA FIELD BY THE UT FORENSIC ACADEMY.

MY LAWYER SAID HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING AND FELT SOMETHING MAY HAVE BEEN TAINTED DAVID WIGLER 865-546-7746 HE TOO HAD A POLICE OFFICER CHANGE HIS TESTIMONY ON THE STAND WHEN HE QUESTIONED HIM MOMENTS BEFORE IN THE HALLWAY AS TO HOW HE RECEIVED MY GUN AND WHAT HE DID WITH IT. THAT OFFICER IS NOW WORKING A CUSH JOB IN MY COUNTY FOR HIS DECEPTIVE TESTIMONY I WEEK AFTER MY TRIAL AND AFTER LEAVING TO WORK SOMEPLACE ELSE BEFORE MY COURT DATE HE WAS ALLOWED TO RETURN.

THE ACCUSERS FAMILY WAS ALLOWED TO TELL THE JURY THE WERE FALSELY ASSAULTED DESPITE HAVING NO WARRANTS AGAINST ME *SEVERAL LAWYERS HAVE SAID THAT IS A RULE 404-B VIOLATION IN ITSELF AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED.

 THE JUDGE DESPITE HAVING A COPY OF MY PASSED POLYGRAPH STILL HARSHLY SENTENCED ME AND DID NOT CONSIDER JUDICIAL DIVERSION DUE TO MY MAINTAINING MY INNOCENSE AND NOT SHOWING MUCH REMORSE HE EVEN SAID DURING THE TRIAL THE STATE HAD MANY DISCREPENCIES IN ITS TESTIMONY WHICH MANY PEOPLE HEARD THE JUDGE COMMENT ON THIS. (CAN PROVIDE NAMES IF NEEDED)

**IF YOU LISTEN TO THE 911 TAPES I AM ATTACKED 1ST SO WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THIS EVER HAPPENED HOW COME I AM CHARGED WITH THE ASSAULT? THIS IS THE KEY ISSUE MY LAWYER HOPES TO RAISE IN OUR NEW TRIAL MOTION.
THE FAMILY EVEN FILED A FALSE REPORT SAYING I CHASED THE TEENAGE BOY HOME BACK IN 2011 THIS REPORT WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE USED IN REVOKING MY BOND, MY WIFE AND I WERE AT THE HOSPITAL HAVING AN ULTRASOUND ON THAT DATE AND F.Y.I HE WAS RIDING A MOTORCYCLE IN THE REPORT AND I SUPPOSIDLY CHASED HIM ON FOOT?

**HERE IS THE NAME OF MY FORMER PARTNER BLAINE LEWIS HE TO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT ME 865-318-5244. KIM PIERCE 865-680-5482 HAS A LOT OF INFO TOO AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL.

 I CAN ALSO PROVIDE THE NAMES OF 2 OTHER DEPUTIES THAT KNOW ABOUT MY TRAFFIC STOP WHO WORKED THAT NIGHT TOO IF NEEDED.

**WE HAVE A SHORT TIME TO DO AN APPEAL 30 DAYS AFTER THE NEW TRIAL MOTION I AM HOPEFUL I GET A FREE LAWYER FOR THIS AND WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE TRANSCRIPTS FOR THE APPEAL UNDER THE INDIGENT STATUS IF I QUALIFY. WE HAD A FUND RAISER AND CAME UP EMPTY MANY PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT THAT WELL OFF AS I SAID I MADE $31K AFTER 10 YEARS OF SERVICE AND MISS IT TERRIBLY.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS RETALIATION FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP, IT IS HARD TO GET JUSTICE IN THIS COUNTY FOR ME DESPITE THE COVER UP.

Subject: Plight of former TN Deputy Sheriff Mark Lipton (Inside Edition Documentary Requested)

Dear Larry:
As you know, I am the Executive Director of the National Police Defense Foundation (NPDF), a congressionally recognized and IRS designated 5-1 c 3 non-profit police organization that provides medical and legal support to law enforcement officials who have victimized. (www.npdf.org)
In 2012, I investigated the criminal prosecution of former Servier County (TN) Deputy Sheriff Mark Lipton who was convicted for an alleged assault involving his neighbor.
Our investigation disclosed convincing evidence that alleges Deputy Lipton was the target of a selective prosecution having been falsely convicted, which resulted in his dismissal as a law enforcement officer.
EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE
1.  The prosecution appears retaliatory after Lipton arrested the Sheriff's friend for DWI and refused to void the arrest.
2. Lipton had been cooperating with the FBI and providing intelligence on alleged corruption within that department.
3. The Sheriff is allegedly related to the alleged victim of the assault.
4. Lipton passed a polygraph showing he wasbeing  truthful that no assault occurred.
5. I personally spoke to the FBI agent who suspects his prosecution was retaliatory.
6. A forensic expert believes the evidence contradicts the victims court testimony involving the alleged assault. Moreover, all we need is simply court ordered DNA testing of the weapon which should confirm that the assault never occurred as alleged.
7. Two of the testiying witnesses were arrested yesterday for drug distributuion which gives you a sense of their background to frame a cop.
Unfortunately, MR. Lipton is indergent and has a court appointed attorney from the same county. Politics as usual. It appears his attorney is not effectively representing Lipton in the pending appeal.
I am hoping to profile his case on national TV and convince the Governor to conduct an independent review of the Lipton Prosecution. Also, to formally ask the FBI to conduct a civil rights and corruption investigation based in part of the testimony of the FBI agent.  
In addition, help raise much needed donations enabling Lipton to hire competent legal counsel to represent him.
Please know that the NPDF has over 180,000 members and supporters nationwide and using the media has been successful in the past in exposing many injustices against the police.
My direct number is 732-616-9600 to further discuss this great human interest case.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NPDF POSTS $5,000 REWARD TO HELP OVERTURN A FELONY CONVICTION FOR FORMER SEVIER cOUNTY dEPUTY sHERIFF MARK LIPTON

Morganville, NJ, June 12, 2012:  The National Police Defense Foundation (NPDF) announced today that the posting of a $5,000 reward for public information leading to the exoneration of Sevier County (TN)  Deputy Sheriff Mark Lipton who was convicted in March 2012 for felony assault for allegedly “pistol whipping” a neighbor.  

An independent NPDF investigation disclosed Deputy Lipton reportedly took lawful police action when he attempt to stop a neighbor’s relative who was operating at a high rate of speed a 4 X 4 vehicle that posed  imminent danger to a 3 year old child who was holding onto to the gas tank. As a result of the deputy’s intervention, an altercation occurred resulting in his alleged assault by his neighbor and relatives. The incident took place on November 16, 2009 in the vicinity of 1069 Bryan View Road, Sevierville, TN.

At trial, it appears Deputy Lipton was convicted upon the testimony of his neighbor without any independent testimony or scientific evidence (DNA) corroborating the alleged pistol whipping. A DNA test of the weapon was never conducted which could have proved if the alleged assault ever occurred.    
Deputy Lipton, a ten year veteran with an unblemished record, voluntarily submitted to a polygraph examination that was conducted by a former FBI Agent, which confirmed the deputy was being truthful that no assault ever occurred.

In an effort to help vindicate Deputy Lipton, a $5,000 reward is being offered for public information that exonerates the officer. Any person who has credible “newly discovered” evidence or witness testimony that results in the overturning of Deputy Lipton’s conviction is urged to contact 888-SAFE COP.

Deputy Lipton is planning to “appeal” his conviction, however, since he is unemployed and has a family of seven to support needs your financial assistance. Any person wishing to donate to the “Deputy Sheriff Mark Lipton Defense Fund” is urged to either send their tax-deductible donation to the NPDF, Post Office Box 318, Englishtown, NJ or call 732-617-2330 or go on line at WWW.NPDF.ORG.
