TMP-this according to the internet this site is one of least visited sites on the world wide web, so your purpose is to spread the lies of law enforcement. You have made a lot of comments that solely based on your personal opinion. Who I marry is none of your business, I don't say anything about your marriage, making a judgement about someone's marry is your opinion. Your purpose is to try people before they go to trial. This is what people should take away from this site and you Mr. TMP. All the charges were dropped after I discovered that attorney John Breeze and CTA, California Teachers Association withheld exculpatory evidence. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE IS? So your buddies lost this case BIG TIME. The DA dropped these in a blink of an eye. So everyone one of your comments are complete and total lies spread by you to hurt me. You are wasting your time, my Grandfather helped build Imperial Valley, I have more relatives and friends than people you know. You absolutely did me no harm. Stay tuned TMP this is far from over as I am trying to take to trial your buddies. IMPERIAL VALLEY CORRUPT SYSTEM OF JUSTICE Masterpiece Theatre: Show Trial PREFACE The real show trials that took place in Stalin’s USSR had a very specific purpose for Stalin. The show trials were not held in secret but were, as their title suggests, in the open with foreign journalists invited and were there to prove to those in the USSR who were interested that ‘enemies of the state’ still existed despite the ‘Red Terror’ and that state leaders such as Stalin were at risk. There is little doubt that those who faced a show trial were going to be found guilty and they served the main purpose of Stalin – to get rid of anyone who might be a potential rival to him as leader. The state prosecutor read the charges as he held a piece of paper: a white, blank, sheet of paper. And now our story, written, directed, acted in, I mean a total theatrical genius, none other our most revered police officer: Manual “Hollywood” Cejas. Our story, shhhh, turn off the devices please. SHOW TRIAL Let's go back in time, to place where justice goes to die: Imperial Valley. Our story takes place one early March, 2013, place, Imperial County Jail court. The court was packed with people; TV stations cameras, audience, and full of other inmates waiting to be arraigned, Judge Plourd presiding. On one side you have Mr. John Breeze, renowned attorney; and on the other side, DA Trapnell, a highly decorated DA known her Pitbull style. What a line up, I mean a true theatrical specter. Sorry, I digress. And there in the middle of the room was our protagonist, Hollywood Cejas; Hollywood was rocking back and forth on his feet, and doing a good rocking too. Head held high, Cheshire cat smile, I mean this guy was beaming, but I think the best adjective to describe Hollywood would be giddy. The giddiness was palpable. Truly great acting on the level of a thespian I once knew in my kindergarten class, none other than the renowned tree. His supporting cast that day were five allegedly sexually molested teenage girls, all in a row, our protagonist, Hollywood, still giddy as ever. Then “Pitbull” Trapnell comes in with the coup de gras, “Judge Plourd, Mr. Obeso is grabbing students butts, and sends text messages to the students talking about the size of his penis!” JUSTICE TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL AGAIN! Show Trial: I was prosecuted with a blank piece of paper. El FIN ________________________________________ Gotta hand it to Hollywood, if I would have been in the audience that day, I would have led the mob in a good old fashion Imperial Valley lynching of me. CAN YOU PICTURE IT ALL? We are talking Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, can I get a ROAR? Unfortunately, like most biographical movies, they veer off the TRUE story to make the script more, how should I say this? More Hollywoody. This is what we knew for a fact: Breeze, his investigator Joe Alcazar, and me; that four of those girls were forced to be there, Hollywood coerced them by making threats. Two of the students told us that the statements attributed to them were lies, they never said that, they never saw me do anything inappropriate, that I was a good teacher, and that the school was doing this because they did not like me. Both said the same thing. Third student said she heard (hearsay) of my misconduct from ANOTHER student, that I had grabbed a student’s (Kimberly Monges) breast, she told me to “stop grabbing her beast,” to which I replied, “I will if I want to.” The DA Gilbert Otero never ever attempted to contact this alleged victim because he knew that Cejas had falsified the statement, thereby, creating probable cause. When my investigator, Julio Diaz, located this alleged victim, her response was that the story never happened, it was a lie. She also said, she never saw me do anything inappropriate, and that I was a good teacher. Police Officer Manuel Cejas manufactured four false statements that DA Gilbert Otero never bothered to verify. Asking the DA to investigate is a total waste of time, they already knew the truth them. The judges and lawyers refused to uncover the truth, because after all, DA “Boss Tweet” Otero sets the TONE for justice: corrupt. Worst part of this all, is the alleged victim, who was in fact traumatized by Hollywood himself; defended me as a good person and teacher, Hollywood would not be deterred. When all was said and done, Hollywood was unable to get what he wanted, so he falsified the alleged victim’s statement. And the shameful part is that the alleged victim does not know that her statement was altered. You see, her statement and school documents do not agree on the truth. The last student was no victim all at nor was she claiming to be one, she is the one who made a false statement that was co-written by Jodie Johnson supervised by John Moreno. So doesn’t take much thinking to see that a CRIME was been committed by Hollywood. I told Breeze and Alcazar that all the statements were false, why they were false. When Alcazar came back from his investigation, he confirmed what I had told them: all the statements were false. John Breeze knew this at the arraignment; he knew this during the probable cause hearing. Yet, he did the California Teachers Association bidding and withheld the truth at the probable hearing and instead began to be abusive and handling the case as if I was not an integral part of the defense. I fired Mr. Breeze after this shameful performance. DA Trapnell made false statements in open court that the DA has not been able to prove. That’s right; there is no proof of Trapnell’s outrageous comments, in other words she lied. This is okay with all the judges of the Imperial System of Justice. And now I have provided undeniable evidence of Mr. John Breeze withholding evidence to ensure my conviction. And as everyone can see, the Imperial Valley System of Justice goes on as normal, you see what was done to me is something called SOP. Rotten Tomatoes refused to view the movie; maybe some film show in Russia or China, a repressive government similar to The Nation of Imperial Valley. I have to give it to Hollywood, he based his arrest on Stalin’s Show Trials. Except that the story is exactly the same, only the names have been changed to deny an American citizen justice.
Every single one of these statements are false, lies promoted by you. Again, your buddies lost this trial BIG TIME for withholding exculpatory evidence. There was no fake Facebook page, and all those (expletive deleted) charges my Cejas is going to get him arrested if I have my way. Fortune for me I live in California we now have AB 1909 to stop people like you and your friends from (expletive deleted) over people like they did me Aurora High School contacted Calexico police March 4 after receiving several complaints from students about Obeso’s physical touching and inappropriate language in classroom sessions.

WHAT TOTAL (expletive deleted) AND YOU CAN TELL CEJAS THAT First of all NO STUDENTS CAME FORWARD-this was created by Jodie John and her chosen snitch, Evelyn Villanueva. THREE STUDENTS SAID THAT THOSE STATEMENTS WERE NOT THEIR. Can you read this? PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY-please don't tell how you believe that because you grovel in lowest of the lowest. YOU ARE SPREADING LIES Became adamant, that's why Mr. John Breeze withheld evidence, because the actual dialogue is the government documenting its own crime: entrapment. And the entrapment was a very serious violation of my civil rights. And that is just to start. THEY LOST THIS TRIAL DUE TO A COMPLETE FALSIFICATION OF THE DISCOVERY AB 1909 I have subpoenaed the complete dialogue and of course the DA Gilbert Otero refused to release the complete dialogue; protecting himself and John Breeze and of course your buddy Cejas. That's right.
NO ONE ACCUSED ME OF FONDLING, NO ONE ACCUSED ME OF ANYTHING-ASK KIMBERLY MONGE, who denied every accusing me of anything and said she never saw me do anything wrong: this is the false evidence that Cejas was used by Cejas and the DA to create PROBABLE CAUSE. NEVER WENT TO FOREVER 21
ASK CEJAS TO PROVE THE ABOVE (expletive deleted) AND THEN ASK HIM ABOUT KIMBERLY MONGE THESE PEOPLE USED A REAL STUDENT USED REAL FACEBOOKS TO ARREST ME BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DID NOT LIKE ME QUESTIONING THEIR (expletive deleted). And that particular cyber crime unit and been replaced after I exposed what they did to me. So shut the (expletive deleted) up. THEY LOST THE CASE BECAUSE I CAUGHT THEM WITHHOLDING EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE; EVIDENCE THAT SHOW THE GOVERNMENT DISREGARDING ALL STANDARDS OF APPROPRIATE POLICE METHODS
First of all, I fired John Breeze after this because he purposely and criminally withheld the fact that we, him and me, that all the statements were false; that Kimberly Monge statement had been denied by her; two other students also said that the statements were not their; Cejas wrote another false statement. And as far as these so called "fairly graphic details" is hyperbole. What I said is protected by my first amendment rights, the law is the law
What does this mean, the DA was prosecuting me for using my first amendment rights. And stupid person can tell you that.
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING HERE? DEFAMING ME DENYING ME A FAIR TRIAL PROMOTING THE LIES OF YOUR BUDDIES? THIS SITE IS MEANT TO PROMOTE LIES AND DESTROY LIVES EFFECTIVELY MAKING ME GUILTY WITH A TRIAL THIS STORY IS FAR FROM OVER-AND IF THINGS GO THE WAY I PLAN THEM, I WILL BE BACK TO SUE THIS SITE
This lie by Cejas is going to cost him a lot. By doing this they incarcerated me for over two years of what is called COERCIVE CONFINEMENT but I did not back down. My family came and fished me out of jail. and I DID NOT RUN INSTEAD I KICKED THEIR (expletive deleted) CEJAS IS A LIAR WHO NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED AND JAILED FOR HIS CRIMES-I AM WORKING ON THAT GO TELL CEJAS THAT
OH YEAH TRAPNELL, when the charges were dropped she was as quiet as a church mouse, her voice was barely heard. What happened to all the grandstanding and (expletive deleted). She was ashamed of what she had done and then lost.
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO You printed all my personal information without ever waiting for the trial; you printed my personal information in an attempt to have me tried in the media. YOU LOST YOU LOST YOU LOST I AM AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PREJUDGE THE ACCUSED-YOU LOOK STUPID
