Mezzacappa Has a Tough Week

Last week was a tough one for West Easton's Tricia Mezzacappa.

Her bid to become a GOP Convention delegate failed. She finished 13th out of 14 candidates. In West Easton, her home base, she garnered only 9 votes, aside from her own.

Pennsylvania's Office of Open Records also dismissed another two Right-to-Know appeals. In the first matter, she apparently filed a pre-emptive appeal before one of her requests had even been granted or denied. In the second matter, Mezzacappa insisted that the Borough must meet with her in the mornings for some reason, when it's convenient for her. By refusing to make time for her in the morning, West Easton had somehow constructively denied her access to records. But as the OOR observes, a tiny borough has "many other duties and responsibilities that must be fulfilled on a daily basis outside of making its records accessible."

So far, Mezzacappa has filed 18 Right-to-Know Appeals with the Office of Open Records. All but one have been against West Easton. All but one have been dismissed, and that matter is under review in Court.

In addition to these setbacks, the District Attorney refused to approve her request for a private criminal complaint against your truly.   She has repeatedly accused me of stalking, sexual assault, pick kicking, pig poisoning, burglary and numerous and sundry other dastardly deeds. There's no truth to any of this, and I've sued her for her defamation.

How has Mezzacappa responded to these setbacks?

On her blog, she states, "I will run again for West Easton Borough Council, thanks."

Alrighty then.

As well as you BO. You seem to enjoy stoking the fire. There really was no purpose for this post unless of course it provides you with some sort of kinky satisfaction.

Step one foot near my house or property ever again you lunatic, and the cops will arrest you on the spot

"Lisa Burns," This post is a reaction to 3 posts on Mezzacappa's blog. In the first, she accuses me of preferential treatment in RTK requests In the second, she makes a disgusting and completely false accusation. In the third, she attacks my lawyer's family, and does so concerning a case in which he was proved right.

Even of there had been no provocation, I believe the public has a right to know about her bc she is politically ambitious. She is precisely the kind of person who would use the power of her office to pursue personal vendettas.

West Easton Foot Print, aka Tricia Mezzacappa, aka Wicked Witch of West Easton,

As you very well know, NONE of the incidents you complain of ever actually happened. You defamed me. Your preposterous allegations failed to survive in court for even a day, and that was without ever bothering to serve me despite the fact that you and your supposed lawyer walked right past me.

Your "pre-approved" criminal complaint was rejected out of hand.

That's bc you are a liar. You are a dangerous liar who is out to hurt other people. You have hurt my reputation, interfered in my business and have attempted to damage my relationship with my grandson.

And you are continuing to defame me. Knock it off. You have been sued. Instead of posting comments here, or attacking my lawyer, you should be working on retaining your own lawyer. A real lawyer. You need to contact your home insurance company and prepare your Answer to a very serious Complaint.

Sparticus said...

No,
you are the one who has defamed yourself, and me by posting every single police report online, and then accusing me of making false reports to law enforcement, as well as other crimes, never committed by me...such as..

attempting to break a window at West Easton Borough Hall.

I have a duty to report crimes to the police with an equal duty of whom I suspect perpetrated the crimes. Had I lied to the police and told them that I personally saw you on my property, you would have been arrested by now.

Since i told them the truth, and nothing but the truth, its a matter of he said/she said, and not arrest worthy.

You havent been caught red handed -yet.

You are jilted and scorned with an abnormal obsession of following everything I do. Just stop. Your defamation case is a real lead balloon, and the truth will be told.

Get a life and move on...though I certainly doubt you will.....and because of that, you will face your cumupance in court, one way or another.

Bernie O'Hare said...

WWWE,

I haven't been caught red-handed? According to you, I was. You claim you have a video of me peering into your car window and placing nails under your tires. Where is it? Where's your report to the police about that incident?

There is no report. There is no video. It never happened. You are a liar.

Where is the report of your complaint to police about my sexual assault on 8/26, the one that you claim is "on file"?

There is no report. It never happened. You are a liar.

And so it continues with all of your ridiculous accusations.

You have made disgusting accusations of criminal behavior, knowing there is no truth to any of them. You have done so maliciously, and with the intent to deprive me of the ability to make a living. You have defamed me, and have been sued in court.

Instead of posting comments here, or posting three recent blogs that attack Attorney Orloski and me, you need to contact an attorney. You need to contact your home insurance provider. You need to prepare an answer to my complaint.

Finally, a person like you never belongs in any public office.

Stop defaming me. You are only digging a deeper hole for yourself.

Sparticus said...

BTW, the pre-approved criminal complaint was pre-approved in November 2011, but never filed by me, because you make my skin crawl, and I dont want to be in the same room with you EVER

the latest one filed requires intense criminal investigation by the EPD, and was returned to me by DA Morganelli with instructions.

I can still file the private complaint that was pre-approved you moron.....keep staying smug and see where it lands you.

Bernie O'Hare said...

Private criminal complaints are not credit cards. They do not come pre-approved. That's just another lie.

You were unwilling to file a "pre-approved" private criminal complaint bc you's have to be in the same room with me? While simultaneously going to county council meetings where that's exactly what happened? While seeking a court order that inevitably would place me in the same room as you?

Just another lie.

I have a copy of the criminal complaint returned to you with instructions, so be careful about the lies you tell about that. It was rejected bc there is no evidence. That's bc you just make this shit up.

Where's the video, Tricia? Were's your complaint to police on the day I supposedly left nails under your car tires? You're not answering those questions. Why not? Did you "accidentally" erase the tape the way you "accidentally" erased a phone message from Kelly Gross harassing you? The same way you "accidentally" erased an email threatening you and your pig? Where's the handwritten note claiming that "Dead pigs make good ham?" Is it possible that a handwriting analysis would prove it's in your handwriting? Why was the rat poison arranged in a neat little pile? If your pig had ingested it, wouldn't it be scattered all over the place? Why did the officer claim the pig seemed to be fine? Did you place that rat poison there yourself? Did you place that hand-written note there yourself?

I hope police conduct a very thorough allegation of your wild claims. Making false reports to the police is a crime. You take them away from what they should be doing while you pursue malicious personal vendetta against perceived enemies.

In the process, you have defamed me, damaged my reputation, interfered with my livelihood and my relationship with my grandson. Get a lawyer. Submit my claim to your homeowner's insurance. Answer my complaint. You have been sued, and I am seeking damages.

It doesnt work that way. He's pissed because there are other blogs to counteract his lies.

He can dish it out but cant take it...so what does he do? Files a frivolous lawsuit. All of these crimes are just a figment of my imagination, are they? Suuure....I just made everything up, to give myself more ogida (thats italian for'upset')

I had to create my blog to scrub my reputation that he ruined for me, and to tell the truth about what exactly went wrong. THE TRUTH! He proceeded to decimate my reputation some more, long after the election ended.

he linked at least 40 foul, malicious and intentionally defamatory blogs to a single website, so when someone googles my name, his "valley biz" site comes up first on page 1 of google, and cant be avoided in a search. Everyone sees it.

He has terrorized me and my pet for MONTHS and MONTHS! When does it stop? WHEN?

I will not stop speaking the truth until he is brought to justice for everything he has done.

WWWE,

First, I want you to stop defaming me.

Second, I want the public to know just how dangerous you are and why they should never elect you to any office.

Third, you make outrageous criminal allegations that you are unable to back up bc they are untrue. That is libel per se.

Where's the video, Tricia? Where's your complaint to police on the day I supposedly left nails under your car tires? You're not answering those questions. Why not?

Why do you refuse to answer these questions?

In doing so, you just dig a deeper hole. That's OK. You will be asked those questions again in another venue.

You are an out-and-out liar. Nobody has sexually assaulted you. Nobody has stalked you. Nobody kicked your pig. Nobody attempted to poison your pig. Nobody sent you emails, threatening you or your pig. You have no video. You have no pre-approved criminal complaint. But there is a libel compliant, and it has been filed against you.

You have attempted to interfere with my business relationships. You have even attempted to pollute my relationship with my own grandson. There are consequences to this kind of behavior, as you are beginning to discover.

You don't call police over every little thing? We know that's another lie. You call police of someone beeps too often. You call police about your neighbors, who claim you refer using the N word. A police officer acknowledged your comments were tinged with hints of racial bias.

I am glad you want nothing to do with me. Please prove that.

Bernie O'Hare said...

Spare me. It is NOT junior high shit if you are the receiving end of very serious and damaging allegations. It is not junior high shit when the perpetrator actively attempts to interfere with business relationships, and attempts to destroy a relationship with a member of my family. This is a very malicious person who needs to be taken to task for what she has done, and i believe I am entitled to punitive damages for her knowingly false accusations.

Anonymous said...

The records show that she's initiated enough interaction with law enforcement to provide ten seasons of the TV show COPS. 20% cause 80% of problems. All I know of her is what the record shows and what it shows is someone who needs tough love. She better avoid a jury. A reasonable person will love the opportunity to send this type a message.

Actually, Tricia Mezzacappa is the one who can dish it out but can't take it. She's the one who filed a frivolous lawsuit that was thrown out by Judge Beltrami. And she's the one who filed a private criminal complaint that the District Attorney would not approve for prosecution. It looks to me like a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

She has made even more outrageous allegations on her blog of a very disgusting nature. And at the same time, she announces her intentions to seek public office again.

Mezzacappa has changed her tune about the alleged "nails underneath the tires" videotape.

On April 2, 2012, Mezzacappa claimed on her blog that she had "an 8 track VCR tape" of Bernie O'Hare "driving past my house...getting out, and looking into my car, as well as placing nails underneath the tires."

On April 30, on her blog, she said: "Is it a 100% fool proof ID to nail him once and for all and make the charges stick? NO, its intentionally not released to the police for OBVIOUS reasons."

So, according to Mezzacappa, she made the public accusation against O'Hare without conclusive identification evidence. That's assuming the incident actually occurred and that "an 8 track VCR tape" of it really exists.

Bernie O'Hare said...

I can handle the truth just fine. What has happened is that Mezzacappa has made completely baseless and false allegations of criminal behavior, and is being held accountable in court for her damaging lies. Her lies - some of them very disgusting - have been repeated on other blogs, and as recently as this morning. The publishers and authors of that blog are going to be held accountable, too. You encourage Mezzacappa's lies bc you wish to shout me down. I will ask the courts to hold you accountable.

Who holds you accountable for your lies Bernie? Who holds you accountable for the lies you allow on your blog? Who holds you accountable for the many fine people you have smeared and allowed to be smeared on your blog?

I am held accountable by the same laws that apply to everyone else. But those laws do apply. If you falsely accuse someone of disgusting crimes, and do so with the express purpose of hurting that person, you should be held accountable.

I am certainly a tough blogger. But I try hard not to get personal, try to be as accurate as humanly possible.

Mezzacappa & her enablers on the Gracedale Goon site post outright lies. They know these are lies, but ost them anyway in an attempt to hurt me and destroy my reputation. i am holding Mezzacappa accountable, and will soon be going to the next level as promised some months ago.

People disagree with your assessment. You accuse people of crimes. When is a crime disgusting? According to you?

You are angry that others have not let you be the final censor and owner of the local political blogosphere.

No one will ever apologize for that. No one has done anything wrong. You have consistently impugned the reputation of decent people and attacked an innocent woman on your hate blog.

A judge will indeed decide. You no longer instill fear in anyone. Neither you nor Angle nor Stoffa. Those days are over Mr. O'Hare and all the Ron Angle money in the world won't bring them back.

I don't defame people. I don't ever make false accusations of disgusting criminal behavior. Mezzacappa has engaged in defamation with false claims of sexual assault, burglary, stalking, pig poisoning and pedophilia. She has been engaged in this behavior for months, and has increasingly become worse. So she is being held accountable.

This is just the start.

Anon. 1:03 pm said: "Mezzacappa has changed her tune about the alleged 'nails underneath the tires' videotape."

Please note that she also recently changed her tune regarding the alleged sexual assault of August 26, 2011.

Here's what Mezzacappa said on her blog yesterday (May 4, 2012) in one of the comments: "See, O'hare seems to think he was dumped because of some dust up regarding West Easton's election, me, Nancy Kutz and Kelly Gross. It had nothing to do with that, or the horrific night of 8/26....not necessarily at least...as I said, I accepted his apologies and chalked it up to a big misunderstanding....."

If this alleged incident of 8/26 was a "big misunderstanding" at the time, according to Mezzacappa, then why did she and Larry Otter go to court 7 1/2 months later claiming that O'Hare had attempted to sexually assault her? That doesn't make sense. Her story suddenly has changed from a criminal accusation serious enough to take before a judge to a "misunderstanding."

In the past, she repeatedly wrote on her blog about this alleged incident as if it were unforgivable and the worst thing that ever happened to her. Now, she says she "accepted his apologies." What? Of course, this is a comparison of Mezzacappa's own words and I'm not assuming that any of these events actually happened because credibility does not seem to be her strong suit.

In an April 30, 2012 blog post, Miss Mezzacappa admitted she has deleted all emails to and from Bernie O'Hare. Please note that destruction of evidence in a pending case or a foreseeable future case is frowned on by Pennsylvania courts. The following quote is from a Pennsylvania Supreme Court case, Pyeritz v. PA State Police, decided on November 23, 2011:

“Spoliation of evidence” is the non-preservation or significant alteration of evidence
for pending or future litigation. When a party to a suit has been charged with spoliating evidence in that suit (sometimes called “first-party spoliation”), we have allowed trial courts to exercise their discretion to impose a range of sanctions against the spoliator."

Deleting emails that could corroborate the plaintiff's claims, then bragging about it on the internet is not smart.

As a matter of course, he is not the "de facto" publisher nor the "de jure" publisher. The "de facto" really means nothing. It is the "de jure" that one should be cognizant to. And he does not meet the burden of proof to be the "de jure" publisher unlike some of those other blogs.
