Tate Homecoming Scandal Update

Laura Carroll and Emily Grover have filed civil suits against the Escambia County School District, FDLE, Chip Simmons in his official capacity, Gary Marsh, Brian Johnson, and Stephanie Cassidy in their respective capacities. Honestly, there is less ill will and imagination in these suits as there was in the criminal cases against these ladies. It still defies the sensibilities to think that one school administrator can make assertions that the sky is falling and without much resistance, law enforcement officials and school board agents, again, without due diligence, go to the nuclear option of destroying a woman’s career and her daughter’s entire high school experience.

This entire case is nonsensical. Hacked homecoming result? Criminal behavior? It simply make no sense. A few people went through a lot of work to create a something that simply wasn’t there, while they simultaneously, were inept at following actual investigative procedures. The assertions of the Escambia County School administrator, Carolyn Gray, or should I refer to her as the prima donna, is simply making a mountain out of a molehill and begs the questions, why ?? She sounds the alarm. Contacts the school board. Insists there was criminal activity? The whole busybody stereotype seems like a legitimate characterization here.

Homecoming is a big deal to students; I get that. Even if the allegations were possible, shouldn’t someone vet the information to make sure there is evidence of an actual crime? Involving law enforcement and allowing sophomoric accusations without evidence to evolve into something that destroys life without a reasonable amount of analysis is the insanity here. Frankly I don’t understand why Ms. Gray isn’t named as a conspirator. Maybe it’s because she really is insignificant. Just spitballing.

As always, I am disappointed at the number of learned, professional people who go along with a flimsy accusation, willing to cry “the sky is falling”, without ever looking up to see if it is.

I have highlighted a few significant points in each of these lawsuits.

At 11:19 a.m., Wilson wrote back and asked, “Is anything showing up on the fraud detection report?

27. At 11:25 a.m., Gray responded, “Yes we have one girl that dropped by 114 vote after I deleted the big chunks of fraud voting. We are hopeful you could give us the IP address of where all these votes were cast from.”

28.   At 11:26 a.m., Gray added, “I deleted one chunk of votes (probably 50+) and cannot recover them to see dates/times, but I copy/pasted the second chunk and have interviewed several of those students and they said they never logged into (sic) vote nor did they give out their information. So this Homecoming diva has stolen student numbers and birthdays and we kind of need a little more proof before we accuse anyone of anything.”

excerpts from emails obtained in the Laura carroll lawsuit page 5.

“We kind of need a little more proof before we accuse anyone of anything”……Yet they go with anemic data that is not been confirmed to be valid.

33. At 1:04 p.m., Gray further explained, “Specifically, it was the chunk of votes that took place from about 1AM-6AM on 10/30/20 … per the report you sent me. They are not there because I ‘discarded’ them from the fraud report. Those are the ones my principal is requesting.

I’m so sorry I’m being so annoying and dramatic about this, but we think a fellow teacher helped this student out by giving out student info so that’s why it’s escalated into this big deal.”

On October 30th, besides Gray’s actions stated above, an “anonymous” reporter accessed Defendant ECSD’s FW&A hotline reporting system and either telephoned or made a written report that there had been fraudulent votes entered in Tate High School’s homecoming election.

You see what we are working with in terms of “facts”, right? An anonymous reporter? Seriously? Then we have scare tactics and intimidation from Gary Marsh, the savior of the school board whose pronouncement of a crime, make it so.

It was only towards the end of the recorded statement that Marsh told Plaintiff that due to the “data breach” he would have to get the “Attorney General’s Office . . . involved

Thank God we have someone looking out for the kids. (Please note the sarcastic tone). How ever would the world have done without Marsh finding a data breach before actual evidence came in. Again this is a sarcastic remark. I have to make sure because I am sure I’m hurting someone’s feelings by now.

The fact Carroll & Grover had to hire attorneys after being involved in this sham of criminal case that disrupted their lives, is the tragedy here. I personally have created prolonged investigations and gathered facts that were presented to the state attorney’s office and had it ignored, illustrates there is understanding of right and wrong by these professionals. But those cases, with incontrovertible evidence, were ignored, but this “date breach” and “fraud” was pursued.

It really makes you wonder who is running the asylum. Here are the links to Laura Carroll’s lawsuit and Emily Grover’s lawsuit. Please review it and see the utter junk that was presented in this case.

This story is consistent with most cases I have researched. There is this dichotomy of cases the state attorney’s office prosecutes that are factually anemic and the cases that office refuses to prosecute regardless of abundant proof of countless crimes. Victims are created in both types of cases. What do you do when you are the object of a prosecutor’s tenacious claim of wrongdoing, while you are innocent? Is it worse than when someone has taken advantage of you or your family and that person thumbs their nose at you, denying you justice?

Laura Carroll and Emily Grover have been casted into the role of wrongly accused victims. I will delve into the “whys” in another post. What I wanted to bring out is the evidence presented. To give a bit of background, after the voting was complete, administrator, Carolyn Gray sorted through the votes. She is familiar with this app, Election Runner. She analyzed the data provided. According to her, she started deleting “suspicious votes” (as she had done in prior elections) she stopped deleting and sent the info to the school district to evaluate. The problem is we have no idea how many votes she deleted that might have altered the results or how many votes that were deleted that would point to someone else? We have incomplete information that is being used to prosecute a woman and her daughter. WTF?

Also brought out was the time the votes came in, according to Ms. Gray, there could be a lag in how said votes came in, which has come under scrutiny as well. The way the votes came into the program, is also being called “fishy”. But is it fishy if there is a lag??

Here are a couple of points in her deposition that I think deserve some attention:

So, we don’t know how many votes were suspicious and were deleted by Ms. Gray. My question on this is: if evidence is tampered with providing a clip of what happened, how do we know that data wouldn’t implicate someone else or give a fuller view of what we are looking at? Capturing some evidence that points to Emily or her family seems moot on its face because we don’t know the context of the data we now have. If you found a dead body and you cleaned up some blood around the body, wouldn’t that be destroying evidence? If you think someone hacked your computer, wouldn’t it be destruction of evidence to delete the proof of such? In both cases, it would significantly alter the outcome of any trial. You have unknown info swirling around that could have potential to exculpate people; why is that not being seen?

There are a couple of points to make Ms. Gray’s participation in this case sketchy; so far, we have a criminal case initiated with incomplete evidence; an administrator assuming guilt based on said incomplete evidence; the same administrator, did not authenticate the data (the portion she didn’t delete) before she sought to escalate this. Because she deleted some, authentication is necessary to see if any foul play occurred at all.

To me, it appears like they are backdooring this issue of authentication by using the records on FOCUS, the county site rather than that of the Election Runner app. This is deceptive info. It may show logins to FOCUS but it does not show the Election Runner results. It depends on the authenticity of the Election Runner app.

Just to clarify. One cannot enter the Election Runner app through FOCUS. It’s not possible. The two programs have no connection except that the school board believe that info gathered from FOCUS access to get the information that was needed to fraudulently vote for other students.

Stay Tuned!!
