Wrongly imprisoned Republican demands probe of Dem prosecutor

Rachel Alexander offers update on real estate broker now seeking justice for himself and others

The Obama administration targeted sole proprietors and small businesses in the real estate industry after the crash of 2008, while letting the big banks off the hook with bailouts. One of most horrific cases involved Republican real estate broker Tony Viola, who served nine and a half years in prison as a juicy target of Ohio Democratic prosecutor Dan Kasaris. Viola was convicted of supposedly tricking banks into offering mortgages with no money down. But in reality, the banks were knowingly offering those loans – evidence the prosecution withheld from him.

Viola only got out of prison due to an employee of the prosecution, Dawn Pasela, becoming so disgusted with the suppression of evidence showing the banks weren't tricked and other corruption such as missing computers full of evidence that she changed sides, helping Viola conduct a successful appeal pro se from prison.

But nothing happened to Kasaris or the federal prosecutor involved, Mark Bennett. Pasela's parents, Edward and Karen Pasela, who have remained fairly quiet until now, are so outraged that they participated in a press conference with investigative journalist Brian Douglas last month exposing what happened in Viola's case and how bad corruption is in the Ohio criminal justice system.

Douglas put together Viola's story in a two-part series, which included former colleagues of Viola's testifying to his impeccable character. For his efforts, Douglas was threatened with a lawsuit by Kasaris' attorney, which Douglas included in his investigation so people are aware of the intimidation. Douglas has been forced to hire his own attorney.

Pasela was threatened by several FBI agents with prosecution if she did not leave the state and avoid testifying. They said they would bring charges against her for violating an NDA — but she never signed an NDA.

Pasela was found dead the day she was supposed to testify in court in Viola's defense for the first time, and it was blown off as alcohol poisoning with no real investigation. The parents of Pasela want a full investigation into their daughter's death.

Unbelievable.  Corruption is so vast and so deep.  It's never ending and it absolutely sickens me that our country has become so riddled with evil.
