Time Line Case no: 00-36992-CFAES
At approx. midnight 12-31-00 Haley Hall files a police report
charging that Burton Bradsher dragged her into his bedroom, tied her with a belt to his futon bed and threatened her with a knife
At 4 AM on 12-31 -00 Haley Hall returns to the police station and
When arrested the police obtained a "confession" from Burton. In this
"confession" there was never any questions nor admission about a knife or a sexual assault. Burtons confession was that he did drag Haley to the bedroom and did tie her up. His assertion was and is that this was a playful event and that Haley was aware that this was a playful event based on their previous encounters with bondage.
In January Burton retained Gerard Keating as counsel.
In January based on the police report Burton started weekly
counseling sessions with Steven Blackledge. Mr Blackledge later testified that at the time of the incident Burton had maturity level of a 14 yr old and that the incident in his opinion was not an attack but a case of lifestyle experimentation common in youth
On Aug 13 2001 Mr Keating took deposition of Ms Hall. During this
deposition she testified that she barely knew Burton, had only been to his house on one previous time, had never heard of anyone participating in bondage and when asked if she had had a prior sexual encounter with Burton involving being handcuffed together replied "not that I can remember".
In October before the case was to go to trial David Smith(a state
witness) contacted Burton and told him that Christina Boothe(another state witness) had information that would help Burton in his case and wanted to talk to him. Burton contacted Christina Boothe and she told him that Haley had confided in her that Burton had never threatened her with a knife and that Haley's father had made her make up the sexual assault allegations. Christina Boothe was advised that if she wanted to
help then she must tell what she knew to Mr Keating. Christina Boothe did not want to testify. She was advised that if she signed an avadavat that she would not have to testify.
Christina Boothe then contacted Mr Keating and after talking to him Mr Not only was Christina Boothe telling us that Haley admitted that Burton did
not assault you, what she was also saying is that Haley filed a false police report and committed perjury during deposition.
Prior to trial Mr Keating contacted Ms Booth about signing the
avadavat and she told Mr Keating that she would not. She said that she had talked to Ms Hall and that Ms Hall told her that she must be confused and that she had never told her this (Is this witness tampering?).
We subpoenaed Christina Boothe in anticipation of trial. At court Mr Bonamo offered a plea bargain which we accepted rather
The case was sent to the probation dept for PSI-I assume that the PSI The sentencing was scheduled for January 2002 and because we kept During sentencing my son testified that Haley and him had engaged in Under oath in court Haley denied the previous encounter and stated " I
have never been handcuffed to anyone in my life. Between the second and third sentencing session Mr Keating
informed me that Mr Bonamo had received a letter from Richard Fuller that said that Haley Hall had confessed to him that the assault had never taken place. (So now we again have information about my sons innocence and again that Haley filed a false police and commited perjury during deposition and now we have information that Haley had committed perjury in your court)
Richard Fuller testified that Haley was a regular visitor to the Burton was eventually sentence to 13 months in prison, 11 months I hired Raymond Warren to handle his appeal and his appeal is based In June 2002 I hired Mr Philip C Kincaid S., F.C.I - a Florida Board
Certified Investigator to gather facts surrounding my sons case. On June 26 2002 Mr Kincaid submitted a confidential report to me of an interview he had with Christina Boothe with her parents present.
The report I have says that Christina Boothe said that Haley Hall told
her that Burton had not done any of the things that Haley had accused Burton of.(again not only does this show Burtons innocence but also that Haley had filed a false police report and perjured herself during deposition and in your court.
The report also states that Ms Booth told the prosecuting attorney this Christina Boothe also told Mr Kincaid that she was present with Haley
and Burton on a previous visit to his house. On this occasion Burton handcuffed himself to Haley and dragged her into the bedroom. Haley Hall did not object to being handcuffed. Haley and Burton spent time alone in his bedroom. (Haley testified at sentencing she had never been handcuffed before).
Conclusion: as a result of the filing of a false police report
Burton Bradsher was overcharged. As a result of giving false testimony during deposition, Burton was overprosecuted. As a result of false testimony during sentencing hearings, Burton was oversentenced.
