Criminal Libel Complaint
against the media

Fleet Russell White, Jr, 52 and his wife, Priscilla of Boulder, Colorado asked for an investigation into criminal libel charges against the media and filed a formal police report on August 3, 2000 and criminal charges.

**********************************

Ginja, from the Justice Watch forum best described the situation below,

"Fleet White asked for an investigation into criminal libel charges against the media. Included in his well-documented evidence of that libel were numerous threads on the topic from the Internet forums, proving his contention that the media's malicious defamatory coverage caused public ridicule and hatred."

"The police launched an investigation into his allegations and found they had merit. Their investigation, together with White's documentation, was submitted to the courts for independent prosecution (outside of the DA's office, due to conflicts of interests). The judge assigned the case ignored it. When White requested the case be taken away from him, Bailin simply closed it."

**********************************

From an article in the Boulder Daily Camera,

"Last August, the Whites asked Boulder police to investigate the Daily Camera regarding a Feb. 25, 2000, story about a California woman who said she was abused in a manner similar to the way JonBenét Ramsey died in Dec. 26, 1996. The Whites were close friends of the Ramseys, and Fleet White Jr. was with John Ramsey when he discovered his 6-year-old daughter's beaten and strangled body in the family's basement. The California woman said she knew the Ramseys through the White family."

"The Whites' case was assigned to the Pueblo district attorney because of a conflict of interest with the Boulder district attorney. But in October, Bailin ended the investigation, saying she did so at the Whites' request. They denied asking that the matter be dropped."

**********************************

On May 14, 2001, the state filed a motion to dismiss in the Fleet White criminal libel appeal. Fleet White had until May 24th to issue a response and no response was ever received by the court, and the case was dismissed on June 5, 2001.
