YES!
Hurray! Congratulations to you and all who were involved in your defense. It's good to know that the justice system works correctly sometimes.

I hope you get all your stuff back soon and that your life returns to whatever constitutes "normal" for you.



Someone pass the vodka shots! Anyone got a lemon?

Congrats Pugzly!

I think this calls for cookies for all!!!

We just miss the part where ScoobyDoo removes the mask off the head of the Sheriff to call this a really really really happy end.
Congrats!

Gongrats Pugz! I'm sorry all about all the stuff you had to go through, but in the end I'm glad it all worked out. Definitely time to party

"Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative." -Steve Prefontaine

Hooooraaaaay!!! Just happen to have a little something suitable.

Yay!

Great news Pugzly

congrats Pugz. I've been following this pretty closely and I'm happy by this news. I hope they don't want to drag in out through an appeal. But justice still really has not been served: Pat still hasn't got his payment yet.

Since you've been dismissed on these charges, (and arrested on these charges) are they considered false charges (or a false arrest?). I think a civil suit is without question due. Time for those scumbags to pay up.

p.s.
Emp, you mispelled details on j4p.

fantastic news.

congratulations!

Glad to see that everything worked out all right. Congrats.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Way to stick by your guns, Pugs! Kudos, you earned it.

You got my respect.

That's a good news Congrats !

Sorry, but this had me in tears

"(The new Web site) is as good if not better than the one he had," Hackel said. "He had a lot of bells and whistles, and sometimes it was hard to find your way around it. It (the new site) is less of a broad spectrum. It's more in tune with what is going on in Macomb County, the issues in Macomb County and what's going on in our department."

I would like to reinterate ot the world that their new website is a steaming pile of crap. I've been to the old macombsheriff site, and it no time was it 'hard to find your way aorund it'. It was a magnificent piece of work to which their 'new and improved' site cannot even begin to measure up to.

But that's just my opinion

^^^ I was just about to post the very same thing

Congrats Pugz.

"Nothin' like a pro-stabbin' from a pro." -Weadah

Hmm... by those articles, it doesn't sound as if this is all over yet... It's a huge milestone, but I hate it for you if they appeal the decision and try to drag this out...

Here's some continued thoughts of good luck. I sure hope this all becomes but a bad memory very very soon...

I'm still crossing my fingers!

I am sorry, but the Sherriff's site looks bad... Pugz's looked alot better. What a slam against ya Pat.

Congrats though what a burden to be lifted for now.

Despite the ruling, the case and conflict between Richard and the sheriff's office likely is not over.

Assistant prosecutor John Latella said his office likely will appeal the case to Macomb Circuit Court. Latella said Foster's explanations did not fully support his decision

---

Nope. It doesn't look like its over. The dirtbags are going to drag this out and try to gain the sympathy of a jury. What a shame. *shakes head* What a shame.

And than after that hearing if Pug wins, than I'm sure their might be a civil case. At least thats what seems to be on the horizon. Whatever happens, good luck pugz. I know how these things can be a real heartache. (Sued a old landlord and won and even that was a heartache).

However the fact that you won this battle, gives you more advantage for whatevers next.

(Edited by jive on 07-02-2004 14:59)

The things people do.

Congrats on the first win!

Anyone drop those links on slashdot yet? I'd like to read some of the reactions of the doubters there.

:::11oh1:::

I was just about to do that actually

Yeah Pugz I've followed this for a little while now. Congrats on your dismissal.
Those articles posted above still make it look like there is still some fault on your part.
I don't see an ounce of blame on your side. What a douche to say "an alleged cyber crime like this is a new area of law, and the judge may be unfamiliar with it." That's like a slap to the judges face. If you go to civil court and beat him then I hope you turn around and sue his ass. Being that you have a strong income based upon the hardware he took and that those things lost value when he took them away you deserve something.

Ohh yeah I would also like to add... I think the new site SUCKS, but that's probably obvious.

Just my 0.02? on what I'd like to see in the next episodes :

• the Macomb Sheriff ( or county I don't know exactly ) refunds Pugzly for his attorney's fees + the loss of incomes due to the suspicion of felony during that affair.
• They also refund Pugzly for the hosting, development and maintenace fees of their site during years.
• Once the two previous conditions are fulfilled, Pugzly sells them the old domain name for a symbolic amount.
• Happy end.

Dude I got a great idea.

Just run for sherrif durring next election. If you don't win at least you're taking votes away from him. He can't arrest you for that.
My dad's friend is a sherrif and he seems to love his job.

glad to hear it.

post a link to slashdot if you do drop it in there please.

Later,

Ok....I couldn't resist. I had to visit the new macomb-sheriff.com site. ouch The new site is actually painful to look at. But I will say this for it:

Some of the links really do work! And also, this site has made me re-evaluate my stance against FrontPage. I used to feel that the world would be a better place if FrontPage ceased to exist, but seeing that this site was made with Frontpage made me realize that some organizations deserve to have their pages built with such a fine tool....

(Edited by norm on 07-03-2004 22:05)

I think the current owner of the domain name, (whoever that may be) should point it to the justice4pat website.

All of these ideas are interesting. For now, I've just got a wanted flyer up providing info about an idiot who stalked police officers in a nearby city until he found one alone, and executed him.

As for my case, we'll see what happens. Right now, I just want my stuff back.

And the really *fun* part is that I don't think there's a provision under the law for you to actually get it back. I might be interpreting it wrong as I'm no law expert, but I don't think it's there.

Congratulations, and good luck on the rest!

Hey Pugz, just wanted to give you a few words of congratulations as well.

Congrats.

Aren't insane people supposed to be in asylums rather than the sane? That sherriff doesn't understand justice (though it is his job) and doesn't understand design (though he could judge whether or not you should be payed for it)


A foolproof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble, then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.

So how much did your innocence cost you?

Personally, I would be out for my pound of flesh after all the BS they put you through.

Have I mentioned that Bugimus is my hero?

A bit late chiming in here, but congratulations on winning the first battle. Let us hope that the rest plays out as smoothly.

Well the site...

I suck at web design compared to most around here and can do a lot better than that. It has no pizzaz. The background is too complicated, the fonts need to be sans serifs. (I think they are easier to read.) It's clear that the images weren't made for the background on the page. When you click a link on the site you are taken from the main page and go to the content page. This is a mistake, in my opinion each page should look the same with only the content part of it changing. Easy to do with very limited knowledge of ASP or PHP or even SSI. I did like the news scroller, but the border kind of sucked.

A bit late, but I want to congratulate you too, pugz..

Well done that man!!

just curious why you have the wanted poster up on the macombsheriff site? Point the domain to justice4pat.com!!

Actually, I'll answer that. It's because I'm taking the high road. I consider myself a professional, working towards a resolution to this issue. Unlike the prosecution, you won't see me showing up in the papers slamming the other side, or using other tactics in an effort to scare or intimidate the other side.

I remain confident that a resolution can be reached in this matter, and thank the MANY people who have sent words of encouragement, donations to the legal defense fund, and have assisted in spreading the word.

I would also invite anyone who is interested in learning more about this case visit the Justice4Pat.com site. This site, setup by some of my supporters, is getting the 'real' word out about what's happening, as well as how you can help.

Thanks!

I think in the long run, keeping my head up and letting the court system get this resolved will be in my best interest. That's what it's there for.

There has certainly been days where I thought I should, but when I step back and take a breath & think about it, I realize I need to be the better side. I don't like dirty politics, and I firmly believe that this is a political issue.

No realization needed here boy... uze 'am' better!

Just kidding to lighten your heart a bit... i do admire how you are handling things. The high road is not the easy road most times but the goal is worth it. Keep on going and be the "right" guy in the end.
