I personally know Mr. Gressett for 17 1/2 years. We were close friends. I can tell you for a FACT that Michael would NEVER do anything that this woman is accusing him of. He would never do anything that was unwanted by another person. He is a GREAT attorney for the state of California and he is a wonderful Friend! What ever happened to “innocent until proven guilty?” I am telling you on a hundred Bibles, I know Michael is not capable of purposely hurt anyone!

Congratulations to Michael Gressett!
Now you know what hell is like and what it is like being denied Due Process.
Only if i had my day in court like I should have I would not have gone threw almost 20 years of hell and not having a job that could give me the life style to fully support my family.
You are lucky to have what you have mike and You have my true sympathy.
I really mean it.
Now my only hope is a governors pardon. gee Maybe some body can Help?
At least I could get my respect back that i lost…Remember that day in Officemax in concord Mike? when I ran across you and tracy?
I need help with that pardon!
God bless Mike and I really hope you get your life back fully, I should know what it’s like not having it. I have been without it for almost 20 years.
Jon.

Sexual preditors dont stop this type of behavior. You get away with this he will do it again he has been a cheater likes to play both sides of the fence. He cant commit to anyone or anything. Make no mistake he breaks the laws and cheats on every woman he has been with.

Yet another example of the dirty dealings of another prosecutor’s office where they sit in judgment of others deciding what cases to charge and take to trial when some of those prosecutors are as dirty as the day is long.

I am glad the truth came out and I hope Michael sues the county, the individuals personally, collects the money and retires from the DA’s Office and opens a lucrative defense practice. What better spring-board?

I believe that Mr. Gressett was set up by those of the D.A.’s office and that he deserves to be reinstated. Those arrogant a–holes stole my car and bank accounts when they set me up in 2006. But I had no idea when I hired McKenna that he was a creature who’d climbed out from under a rock along with a deputy sheriff, named Tiffany Gaul and especially a special investigator named Joe Kosmicky. They all only wanted the drugs and money that their ignorant snitches told them were hidden in the walls of my house. They charged me with over 10 felonies but there wasn’t any drugs or money hidden in the walls. Even Norman from CNET came to my raids. I was 53, divorced and lived up in the Berkeley Hills. So many knew of my case and also that I’d been set up but no one ever stood up for me and told the truth. My car was forfeited in May ’07,but it was driven the entire time, still in my name. McKenna told me that Joe Marin’s wife loved my car and by the CarFax, I know that someone enjoyed driving my car and added over 5,000 miles from 7/28/06 until it was sold to a dealer in Brentwood. How appropriate that a dealer should buy my car, since all of the court docs stated that I had a felony, no money or job. My car was the result of drug deals. The documents filed with the courts by my prior attorney included all of my records. Since they were ignored, I guess BMW is really a front for selling drugs. The felony conviction, I was supposed to have was a secret and not on my record. I know my ex-husband felt it was illegal and a crime to pay me $10,000 a month in alimony,but the IRS and State of California had no problem accepting the taxes, I paid. I have no idea how my bank accounts were split but McKenna was the winner, he had charged me over $20,000 to watch as I was destroyed. He even bought a star and is a Super Star Lawyer. It’s right there on his website for all to admire. His new office is not nearly as nice and Claudia needs some advice about creating new files.

P.s. I will say he is guilty of being an irresponsible gun owner in my opinion and that pissed me off. But he is not a monster, just very gifted with women!

Prayers should go out to all and praise God for an arbitrator who had the truth of vision to put Kochly, et al., in their place.

Hang tough, the truth will be revealed.

Now that is a reason for celebration. Michael is quite the monster everyone thinks he is. As for the weapons, I don’t think that’s in dispute, it’s whether it was consensual and did she ever use the safe word. Sorry to her daddy, but little girls grow up to enjoy wild sex too.

The bottom line is Michael had familiarity at the polls. Even though he lost, it’s like when you go to the store, you are more likely to choose the brand name you remember. Anyone who believes Kochly was anymore than Yancey’s puppet is naive and they both didn’t just hate Michael they were ridiculously jealous. Michael quite frankly had it all. He lived what they could only dream of.

Michael if you read this, you my friend will always have a piece of my heart. Who the heck do you think cried political foul to Cardoza!

I’m very glad to hear Michael’s beating this ludicrous charge. The whole thing was incredibly out of character. I know all of this has consumed him for years and just pray he can get beyond it emotionally and financially.

Lisa, I’ve read and clipped your fine articles in the Contra Costa Times on these 2 subjects. You live in Martinez, where at the BOS Meeting was, and went to the Lafayette Vets Hall, as I did, for the study session. You get paid, I don’t. My point is others in the County may wish to comment via blogs on these 2 subjects. Don’t you have a secretary who can copy your articles as blogs?

Read the Contra Costa Times, Ralph. If I write dailies on a subject, I don’t often blog them, too. I can only be in so many places at once.
