Over the weekend, Easton City Council member was highly offended by Big Easy Easton Brass Band leader Jeremy Johnson. She wanted to lead his band in the annual Easton Christmas parade, and he told her what he thought of her. She got out in front of the band anyway, but not before going to police to claim she had been harassed. And she also made sure that Lehigh Valley News was made aware of what had happened. She also posted about it on her personal and Council member Facebook page, falsely claiming she had been "threatened." Easton police yawned, stating there were no threats or harassment. She certainly defamed Johnson and placed him in a false light. But he has no intention of suing, saying that her punishment is "that she has to be her."
She has demonstrated once again "that she has to be her." Last month, President Judge Craig Dally rejected a defamation/false light claim she brought against a policitcal action committee that circulated campaign signs in her race for the state house, calling her "CRAZY, CHAOTIC CRIMINAL" According to Judge Dally, "[S]he has not established with clear and convincing evidence that the identified statements are actually false or that they were made with reckless disregard for the truth." In other words, she could very well be what I would call a wackadoodle.
Well, if there was any doubt in your mind about this, it should be gone with this latest news. On Tuesday, she appealed Judge Dally's decison to the Superior Court. She did this on her own, with no legal representation. Good luck with that!
