WEAR covered the story of the three Escambia EMS employees having their cases disposed of in the local Circuit Court. But the WEAR format does not lend itself to the necessary "deep-dive" required to flesh out all of the important details of the cases of these four former Escambia EMS employees three of whom recently had their cases disposed of in court.
Jim Little of the PNJ did do his homework, and he put together a very good article that covered the topic well. He has some very good quotes from the lawyer representing at least one of the employees. And he goes into some required detail as he describes the dozens of felony charges that have been essentially dropped.
Three of the four cases are not being prosecuted. This is incredibly important.
Many who have actually dedicated the time necessary to look into these cases and these charges and some of the nefarious actions which were allowed to occur which ultimately led to these bogus charges being filed--yes for those of us who have been paying attention this outcome seems appropriate.
Several employees had their reputations sullied by one employee with a massive chip on her shoulder--the size of a "boulder."
I'm glad to see these cases get resolved, but I remain disgusted over the fact that this whole issue got cooked up out of whole cloth in what appears to be nothing more than an attempt at a weird kind of score-settling payback against this organization. I'm glad that effort is unravelling before our eyes, the truth is coming to light, those who were blamed unfairly are being cleared of wrongdoing.
I have been invited to speak tomorrow morning at 7:10 AM on Real News with Rick Outzen on WCOA about this topic specifically---and I look forward to it. I'm not going to hold back, I'm going to tell it as I see it. This will not be comfortable for some that were involved in this spectacle.
Let er Rip!! Looking forward to it.

Is putting it lightly. TO SAY THE LEAST
No they have been smeared to the lowest depth imaginable.
They were handcuffed and arrested. ISSUED A GAG ORDER
Had to wait since March of 2020 with those tremendous charges hanging over their heads.
Lost their jobs
Maybe their retirements..
NOT TO MENTION LEGAL AND COURT COSTS.
Then it seems the states attorney says..
Oh Never mind...
What really gets me is in the court of public opinion, I just hate to see their names out there again, but I've learned a little about toxicity and drama along the way and will just let some spout their ignorance. Maybe they will wake up.
I've also seen a county employee sue an outspoken critic and Underhill and Gilley and Escambia Citizen Watch facebook get on board. That is the epitome of corruption.
I've seen the lowest of the low, the abuse of power, abuse of law enforcement, complicit prosecutors and then you think regular people want to join in free speech with all that going on?
No Thanks.
I hope you give them hell on the radio in AM and make some waves.
You know you are one of the only ones in the position to do this.
This is your day.
Make it count.
Eye of the Tiger.
"It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night"
Maybe Rick will play that song..
Survivor.. Eye of the Tiger
WAKE UP SONG BEFORE YOU GET ON THE AIR IN AM ABOUT THIS ORDEAL
