Kasia E Rutledge

May 2010 excerpt from letter to MPD You had ten months to prepare a case to win on my false arrest for criminal trespass. It was clear from what happened in court that I wasn't worth the effort to win ..." Kasi thought I was guilty of the charges, she said " did you do it?" She came to court and ...didn't know the names of any of the witnesses, or even what happened. There was a long period where all they talked about was the garden hose. She made no effort on my behalf.. She was cold, unprepared and "dumptrucked" I had never been arrested before, was locked out of my apartment for good, was homeless and spent almost two years on bench probation because a slum lord went after me for being assertive about cleaning up mold on the property. Kasia didn't even know the name of the property manager that was behind my arrest. She failed me so completely, I would have done a better job.
