I just happened to find this out late Friday afternoon while looking for something else. When I saw the title of Senate Bill S-225 I immediately got on the phone with some of my sources. Reliable sources at that.
Why, I asked, would Cleveland County want to abolish the Office of Coroner??? I was informed in full. Now the strange part kicks in-big time!!! Folks, believe me, you can’t make this kind of stuff up. This is what I was told. And I totally believe every word.
Remember the part above about all the Commissioners, County Manager and Asst. County Manager (and maybe more) and their spouses taking this taxpayer paid trip last week to Washington, DC? Well, here is what happened after that.
Cleveland County Coroner Robbie Morgan’s wife puts a comment on Commissioner Jason Falls’ wife’s FaceBook page wondering just how much that DC trip cost the taxpayers of Cleveland County. Commissioner Jason Falls goes ballistic as he is sometimes prone to do.
Before the Commissioner Meeting on Tuesday, March 7, 2017 the Commissioners met in the conference room behind the Commissioner’s Chambers. They do this before every meeting where they get around the table and eat their catered in meal at taxpayer expense.
Commissioner Falls is still P.O.’d. about Robbie Morgan’s wife’s comment on Falls’ wife’s FaceBook page. Falls wants Robbie Morgan gotten rid of and involves the other commissioners, County Attorney Tim Moore and perhaps others. Of course all this is totally illegal. North Carolina law requires all Cleveland County’s business to be conducted in public and minutes of the meeting kept. Everybody in the room knew about this law and somebody should have stopped this kind of Cleveland County “monkey-business” from going on. All those in the room knew they were breaking the law, yet nobody stopped it and the illegal plan to get rid of Robbie Morgan was hatched. When two or more people conspire to violate the law, it is a conspiracy and Conspiracy is a serious crime in North Carolina. Read the Criminal Conspiracy Law and Legal Definition provided below.
Criminal Conspiracy Law and Legal Definition
In North Carolina a criminal conspiracy — a partnership in crime — is defined as “an agreement between two or more persons to do an unlawful act or to do a lawful act in an unlawful way or by unlawful means.” In order to be convicted of a North Carolina conspiracy offense, a defendant must be shown to have “entered into an unlawful confederation for the criminal purposes alleged.” According to the pattern jury instructions for criminal prosecutions in North Carolina, there are three essential elements of such a conspiracy offense: (1) “that the defendant and [another] entered into an agreement”; (2) “that the agreement was to commit [a crime]”; and (3) “that the defendant and [his coconspirator(s)] intended that the agreement be carried out at the time it was made.” United States v. White, 571 F.3d 365, 368 (4th Cir. N.C. 2009)
