CCNN’S FOUNDER, JOHN MEDINA, LAWYERS UP TO FACE HIS GOVERNMENTAL ACCUSERS
Corpus Christi, Texas – CCNN’s founder – John Edward Medina – last week hired a dynamic local criminal attorney, Mark Di Carlo, to represent him in challenging an “Arson” charge: that is, in reference to an allegation made by a State Fire Marshal and reinforced by some Texas Rangers that claim Medina set fire to his own home on November 3rd of last year. Medina, who founded CCNN but sold it back in March of last year, was arrested recently after turning down a “lie-detector” (or polygraph) request by the cited State Fire Marshall and one Texas Ranger – and it was done at a time when the cited investigators reached a logjam in the investigation.
The polygraph test had been scheduled to be conducted at the Corpus Christi Police Department. But the knot of dismayed egos of authoritarian government agents prompted Medina’s arrest, which took place less than a handful of days after, when he announced a change of mind and extended that he had made other arrangements. He informed the investigators in charge of the case that he was going to arrange for the test to be administered by an independent, certified company.
His elemental reason was best explained by his attorney: “’Lie Detector’ tests have proven time and time again to be unreliable – and are not admissible in court when it involves a criminal case: as in this one.”
TRIAL BY MEDIA COMPETITORS AND A MISSING VACUUM CLEANER:
Medina’s Attorney is combing through a hodgepodge of “mainstream” media stories that either prejudiced the case or grossly misrepresented the facts of it. One TV station reported Medina’s house located on 4900 block of Mokry Drive was “secure” during the incident; this important piece of information which is fundamental to the case was twisted either inadvertently or purposely to conjure up an inaccurate account of the bona fide facts. The Corpus Chrsiti Caller-Times (a competitor of CCNN without any facts to back up their claim) falsely reported Medina "operated" CCNN -- CCNN, statistical data reveals, gets more hits on social media than theirs.
Both state and federal law enforcement officers affirmed that the back door to the residence had been damaged and forced open. Some reporters also cited bias sources (persons which are involved in a lawsuit targeting Medina over the ownership of a neighboring property -- the latter source gauchely painted an erroneous timeline related to Medina’s movements. Nonetheless, we**am footage obtained from an active camera filming from across the street, documented that Medina had left the premises early in the morning to campaign for a mayoral seat before his home was set ablaze (either by someone (or via self-induced factors such as faulty electrical wiring).
The cited we**am footage captured a fact that was ignored by the mainstream media: it recorded how State Fire Marshals violated official protocol (as mandated in an official arson investigation) contributed to both contaminating the scene and allowed other persons to enter into his home. Mostly significantly, it captures a State Fire Marshall leaving the house (during the incident) and the second one moving his truck down the street and then returning to re-enter the premises -- again, this is prohibited by the guidelines of their own entity as well as many state and federal laws governing arson investigations (to explain, once they leave the scene they cannot re-enter the home which was arson-ed).
WHAT BASIS DID OFFICIAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE TO IMPLICATE MEDINA --BESIDES A DISGRUNTLED WIFE TRYING TO USE HER 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AS A WEAPON?
A missing vacuum cleaner -- this item is considered the main “rationalization” to justify a theory which was advanced by the investigators to explain their spin of “who done it.” Government officials and insurance investigators, who allege fraud in most home arson cases, were told by Medina’s disgruntled wife – Gloria – that he had moved a vacuum cleaner (which is appraised at less $800) out of the premises before the incident.
Yet, just to satiate curiosities, Medina did claim this very vacuum cleaner was being used to clean up a studio being constructed to broadcast online -- the studio is a work in progress.
To clarify, Medina’s wife, Gloria Medina, has not hesitated to use her child (with Medina) as well as her children from a previous marriage as weapons in the battle against her husband as a way to amp up an already high conflict divorce She has been overzealous buffering the pain of a failed marriage by trying to destroy John Medina's relationship with their child. She had abandoned him weeks before the incident in question and has since then filed for divorce. It has turned into a bitter, envenoming and highly contested one. She has hired Attorney Melody Cooper; John Medina, Blanca Medina Rodriguez.
Rival attorneys have a history on capitalizing on a crisis. Medina’s wife has tried to capitalize on the “Trial By Media” mentality that pervades at the moment and the latter can be seen in her social media rantings. She takes every opportunity to raise suspicions about her husband’s trustworthiness. “They are striking while the iron is hot, when Medina is down on his luck,” a longtime friend of Medina remarked.
Medina’s wife has organized a team of person to use to take aim at John Medina. She has even recruited her fourteen-year-old child (in addition to other children from a previous marriage) to openly target her husband and characterize him as meeting the profile of a pyromanic. Pseudo-psychology at its best.
His wife is running her own campaign. She revoltingly blames her husband (who refuse to take her back after she walked out) for setting the inferno without one scrap of solid evidence. “My husband set the house on fire” – this she has uttered from “the top of her lungs” (according to some observers) as well as her cohorts advocating on her behalf. But the reality is that government officials, according to many top critics, have little to go on, and have a weak case against John Medina.
Yet the mainstream media has volumed up the accusatory voices to gain ratings. There are ramblings that even the District Attorney’s office is wary and jumpy and skittish: word circulates that they do not have enough empirical and systematic data to win this case, a case which has been sensationalized by the meida. Some insiders suggest that an elite of powercrats want to drag the case for a year or so to see what pops up. On the other side of the coin,“Some feel it is all a waste of tax-payers’ money,” another source told CCNN.
Even Medina’s daughter, who wanted to become a personality figure in social media, has initiated her own YOUTUBE CHANNEL. She is targeting her father to procure rating. And with the vigorous reinforcement of her mom, it just might pent out. She is both implicitly and explicitly saying their parents broke up because her father refused to fix her phone and in the process went beyond the pale of socially accepted reprimand..
Medina’s lawyer -- Di Carlo -- has requested a copy of the fire investigation and is considering hiring an independent arson specialist to fly in to reassess the matter.
MEDINA, WHO HAS REPEATEDLY CLAIMED “I DIDN’T DO IT” HAD MORE TO LOSE THAN TO GAIN FROM THE FIRE:
The bottom-line and top-line is that Medina does not fit the profile of a pyromaniac nor someone who would entertains committing a fraudulent act to collect from the insurance. On the contrary, he is financially stable – and was engaged in various productive endeavors before the incident such as working on a studio to broadcast live on CCNN’s social/news media page as a proactive volunteer reporter.
Medina had more to lose than to gain by contemplating such a deviant act. How many were the things that were consumed by the flames: personal pictures, televisions and other expensive devices, his mom's and dad’s mementos, as well as legal/property papers and a substantial amount of cash money.
WHAT HAS MEDINA LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE?
“I’ve learned that your innocence does not protect you. When One is confronted with untrue, absurd allegations of arson or any other, they frequently assume that this is a simple misunderstanding and that it will be cleared up quickly,” Medina admonished. “The innocent cooperate with police and try to explain. They have faith in our system of justice. They do not demand that a lawyer be present. They do not take the allegations very seriously.”
In spite of the founding legal principle that everyone is assumed innocent until proven guilty, CCNN has learned in cases of alleged arson and many other related cases, police, district attorneys, social workers, and physicians often assume guilt.
It is also legal for police to lie to you during questionings, saying things like, “We have proof that you are guilty, so you might as well confess and we’ll go easy on you.”
Medina concluded: “I will prevail; make no mistake about it. I shall rise from the ashes and toss it back in their eyes via legal means.”
