Lawyers investigate
Gibson's role
DA's name on letter raises questions in “pyramid” scheme
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (April 21, 2003) – When Robert Clark went to his mailbox late last
month and saw “Bill Gibson” as the sender of the white envelope,
Sgt. Clark in Korea, 1992
“I recognized his name as the district
attorney general and thought it was going to be a jury summons notice or
something,” the 34-year-old former Army fuel systems and aircraft
maintenance sergeant recalled. Now, Clark and others wonder whether
the DA is using his office to endorse a pyramid scheme.

(DA
Bill Gibson, read this) Ignorance is not

One
really unfortunate thing about people who succeed without being very intelligent
is that smarter people use them by treating them as their equal then cast
them aside like an old pizza box out back a drug task force hideout.
(For
those with low intelligence who are in public office in the 13th
Judicial District of Tennessee, I will write in short words placed between
curved red lines like this () at
both sides of the part meant for you.)(Click

Innocent
Cookeville man says DA threatened to prosecute him anyway unless he agreed
not to sue businesses that wrongfully accused him "If
I have learned one thing in the past 10 years that I have lived in Cookeville,
it is that it is not what you know, it is who you know. And it sure doesn't
help much when you're not from around here either." Story
Now.

under oath -- to keep the killer of Darlene Eldridge free -- Story
Putnam County Circuit
Court Clerk Lewis Coomer is a thief, and DA Gibson will even lie to protect
him. WHY?
COOKEVILLE -- During
his first term as district attorney general, William E. Gibson has been
busted spending public money to pay his staff's professional taxes; spent
thousands of public dollars painting his name on the side of his office;
used public money to reprint state-prepared training manuals so that they
would bear his name.
Gibson publicly lashed out
at a judge who, other lawyers said, ruled properly in a case Gibson argued poorly
but then tried to cover up for his shortcomings.
He is, to let the vernacular
go for a moment, in a "urinating contest" with his predecessor, now-U.S.
Attorney John Roberts, after Roberts took issue with Gibson's determination
that a drowned man with blocks tied to his body committed suicide. Stupid
mistakes? Yes!

District Attorney Bill Gibson's purpose in vowing to "donate" some campaign

Lawyer
poll: Putnam County Bar finds alleged
civil rights violator T. Michael O'Mara more qualified than the incumbent,
alleged civil rights violator William E. Gibson, to be district attorney
general for the next eight years. Alleged civil rights violator Michael
Knowlton was the third best qualified, the lawyers felt, while Jerry Burgess,
the only candidate facing no federal civil rights charge, was the least
qualified, according to the lawyers. Now, let's see what the Board of Professional
Responsibility says about local
lawyers to help determine what weight to put on their opinion.
District
Attorney William E. Gibson pledges in a newspaper ad to give campaign advertising
money to help children -- er, we know you are not a rocket scientist, Billy
Boy, but wasn't that newspaper ad an advertisement? You get it, don't you?
Ad, advertisement, it's just a shortened version of the same word. ['Short'
means 'not long.' Like 'dumb' means 'not smart.'] Why didn't you
use some of that sign money to help children?
