It is a long-standing legal doctrine in this country and around the civilized world that an individual that uses their position to commit crimes against humanity cannot hide behind the “color of law” to commit such crimes. Morality and humanity needs to prevail over the fabrication of evidence. I am a decorated police veteran. I saw Doris Holt at Unihealth Columbia AKA the “Vegetable Garden.” I was there when SC DSS admitted they were wrong on the court record about Doris Holt being physically abused, which is why she was supposedly taken into so-called protective custody.

I was also there when SC DSS claimed Doris Holt, while under their care, had medically deteriorated to the point where James Spencer was now required by SC DSS to present a new medical care plan due to her new condition. Finally, I witnessed the countless attempts by James Spencer to obtain Doris Holt’s medical records, all of which were blocked by SC DSS, preventing James Spencer from proposing a plan of care. No Medical Doctor could propose a care plan with Spencer without medical records. So SC DSS kept her in custody, and the result of their protective custody is seen in pictures with Doris Holt beaten with black eyes and now on a feeding tube at the hospital. (Ed. note: Doris Holt died the next day from starvation and dehydration on February 19, 2011.)

SC DSS’s Susan Stroman and Palmetto Senior Care’s Jennifer Brewton need to face their day in court for true elder abuse, along with the others that pulled their strings.

In closing, it needs to be pointed out that James Spencer was denied access to the medical records although he has been for thirty years Doris Holt’s personally appointed durable power of attorney and power of health care attorney, yet SC DSS to this day still wrongfully withheld his mother’s medical records from James Spencer.

Finally, I think it needs to be pointed out that SC DSS canceled Doris Holt’s comprehensive medical care plan with Palmetto Senior Care without rationale justification, making her a ward of the state. Bring on an independent investigation and Grand Jury so South Carolina can clean up its mess and improve the system, or just ignore it and picture your family’s loved ones, or even you, ending up like Doris Holt.

Here are the facts on the litigation and why Keel and the other cronies need to be brought to justice. The Police Defendants offered a settlement in Court on May 9, 2007, that was never accepted by the Plaintiffs, which included myself. Judge Harwell finally admitted the basis of the settlement was fraudulent on August 13, 2008. The Plaintiffs never agreed to a settlement, never executed any documents, never received any settlement funds nor acknowledged such a settlement in open Court.

The unwitting Plaintiffs were informed by their counsel not to express their disagreement in open Court unless polled by the Judge as no settlement would be final until it was executed in writing. There never was a written settlement agreement and a meeting of the minds for a settlement between the Plaintiffs and Defendants at any time, and there in fact was no settlement. The Plaintiffs counsels explanation to the Plaintiffs for their statements in court was they wanted to buy extra time to explore how to litigate the Judges one-sided evidentiary rulings and that no settlement can be finalized until it is in writing and all the terms are agreed upon and signed off on by all the parties. The Plaintiffs filed an appeal based on fraud upon the court, which Judge Harwell denied because he claimed it took to long for the plaintiffs to discover the fraud and said the filing was untimely.

The 4th Circuit refused to hear the facts of the case as Plaintiff Doris Holt was kidnapped by SC DSS, and the Plaintiffs were warned that if they wanted to see Doris Holt alive again they were to stop legal action in the case before the Court of appeals. The Plaintiffs missed a filing deadline by one day when they tried to find the kidnapped frail Doris Holt. No facts of the case were ever reviewed by Federal District Court (Judge Harwell) or the 4th Circuit as Doris Holt was used as a bargaining chip. As to the case in Washington, DC, the DC Court ruled the case had to be refiled in South Carolina Federal District Court for Jurisdictional reason;, no evidence was reviewed in any instance.

Doris Holt’s life was the bargaining chip used to keep the Plaintiffs at bay while they missed the filing deadline. Doris Holt paid for it with her life. Bring on 60 Minutes…I am a former police officer who was also a Plaintiff, and I lost my career for reporting the truth which Keel, a lackey, and the cronies, kept covered up…now these are the facts!!!

The crime of obstruction of justice is obvious. What is also obvious — and I have personal knowledge of — is that after SLED’s Keel obtained the suspect police videotapes, he wrote a letter to the FBI with a false claim that the Federal Judge presiding in the case ordered FBI involvement. It seems to me that Keel and Caldwell would have to known about an ongoing Federal Case to fabricate the existence of a Federal Court Order.

I was a decorated police officer for seventeen years when I lost my job for reporting the crimes that I witnessed the other law enforcement personnel committing in this matter, which Keel and his cronies protected. The concern should be about the crimes, and there should be a call for an independent prosecutor and a grand jury to fully investigate these matters!!!
