Norway ************************************************** Gary Bradshaw Avoids Prison Sentence According to our sources, Gary Bradshaw
told a convincing mixture of lies and half truths to the detectives
investigating the cold blooded murder of Kevin Hewes. His sworn testimony did
its job. It kept Mr. Bradshaw out of prison. Our sources say this is not the
first time Gary Bradshaw snitched on his crime partner, to avoid a prison
sentence. If this is true, it reveals a great deal about the man. To help you better understand the
situation, allow me to offer two contrasting examples. Example 1 Let's assume Joe is walking down a city
sidewalk. Suddenly, he sees a person run from a bank with a gun in one hand and
a sack of money in the other. This person jumps into a car sitting at the curb
and speeds away. The bank's alarm goes off. Joe has good vision and quickly
writes the license plate number of the get away car, in the palm of his hand. As a good law abiding citizen of our great
nation, Joe has a civic duty to report what he saw to law enforcement officers. Example 2 Joe is the get away driver. He has made a
decision to break the law, by being part of a bank robbery. The gunman robs the
bank and jumps into the get away car. Joe speeds away and they divide the loot
from the bank. Several years later, Joe is questioned about the bank robbery,
by law enforcement officers. They have evidence which proves he was the get
away driver, but they do not know who the gunman was. Joe makes a deal. He
agrees to testify against his partner in crime, if the police agree to not
charge him with the crime. He goes into court and testifies against his old
friend. In this example, Joe is has not only taken
part in a crime. He has betrayed his friend, for personal gain. Joe is not only a criminal, he is a snitch.
He is the type of person who puts his own self interests ahead of the law. He
is the type of person who puts his own self interests ahead of friendship and
loyalty. In short, he is among the lowest of the low. He is not a person anyone
can trust in any situation. He operates from absolute selfish personal
interest. Whatever he believes will be good for him, he does. He has total
disregard for other people. He will even sell out his friends the moment the
pressure is on. Anybody, who does business with such a
person is sure to get the raw end of the deal. Our sources report, Gary Bradshaw received
a blanket grant of immunity in return for his testimony. If he was not involved
in the crime, how did he have inside information? If he was not involved in the
crime, why did he need a grant of immunity? ************************************************** MIDEM The MIDEM event is about 60 days away.
