KingCast applauds North Country NHPR Reporter Chris Jensen for tackling the Gregory Floyd Criminal Threats trial.

By Christopher King

NHPR's North Country Reporter Chris Jensen has tackled the Franconia shooting tragedy with yesterday's NHPR report "Gregory Floyd is back in court," which I am listening to right now. I see that his lawyer claims Floyd's past has nothing to do with the current allegations. I submit that his past goes to habit evidence, the kind of pattern behavior that former Police Chief Robert Every specifically noted in 1997 in his Affidavit:

"His son was attending Lafayette Elementary School and there was a problem in which Mr. Floyd became irrationally abusive -- to the point the administration was concerned he might return and do something. Because of the administration's concern they contacted the State Police."

Yah, I filed the victim's Affidavit in Grafton Superior KingCast v. Ayotte/Franconia 07-E-268 in which she wrote that Floyd told her to "shut up, mind your own business because I know where you live, I know the route you take home and if you're not careful they will send you home in a body bag."

Want more? I got more from the same Affidavit:

"All of us have made mistakes in our lives; in Mr. Floyd's case the behavior extends beyond a mistake; there is a pattern, a pattern of past violence, paranoid behavior and excessive anger. While no one can predict the future, I feel Mr. Floyd is capable of showing up at Lafayette Elementary School or at a neighbor's house with an automatic weapon..."

Damn, he's about one step away... Call Chief Every Mr. Prescient.

Reporter Jensen used to write for the Cleveland Plain Dealer when I lived there, he also loves cars (he has served as automotive editor) and he has more than a passing interest in Justice and government malfeasance. Here's a February 2008 story he wrote about abusive sales practices for the New York Times.

And here's a dossier of Gregory W. Floyd's abusive people practices.
His high-dollar lawyer, Shaheen & Gordon's Bill Christie says "I think Mr. Floyd would simply like to be left alone.?

Fat chance of that because I'll ride him like a Georgia mule; I submit he should be tried for the murder and wrongful death of Liko Kenney.
