Mike has two very interesting
letters from jurors that helped convict Ron Weinland this week.
The foreman of the jury writes:
When I left the courthouse that afternoon, I felt very tired and
physically drained by the decision that we had to make, and by the
gravity of the consequences for Mr Weinland, even though we all felt
that he deserved to be found guilty and that he should receive the
maximum penalties that could possibly be given. Reading the comments
from all of you on this blog that night, I was uplifted by the unanimous
relief and gratitude from the commenters at the verdict that we had
reached. We knew that the way that Mr Weinland was fleecing his members
by convincing them that he was a Prophet who had the ultimate authority
on Earth over the church and humanity was deplorable, and the fact the
members were handing over so much of their money just to have it spent
on Mr Weinland’s luxuries was repellent.
Another juror writes:
I was on the jury. This clown is a predator. The judge will give him
the max (5yrs.) in my guess. I think Laura, Jeremy, & Audra should
be indicted as well, along with some others. Seeing what this family has
done makes me sick! The way I see it, what he was actually charged with
is a small drop in the bucket as to how much money he has looted. The
Weinland Clan riffled through $4.5 million in just over a few years.
There was not much comingling of funds. It was ALL HIS! In my mind,
this pile of dung spent 90% of that money. The prosecution did not even
begin to sort out what Ronald McScammer said was a church exspense on
his behalf etc;. The IRS gave all of that to him. The ONLY legit
exspenses I saw were very minor, as in slim to none.
The money completeley paid for any and all lifestyles for Laura, Ron,
Jeremy and his wife, Audra and her husband, Darymple’s, and others. Out
of the 90% of $4.5 million, the Weinlands alone, spent at least 80% of
that money. We are talking Lasik eye surgery, Insight cable bills,
utility bills, car insurance, global & domestic shopping sprees for
clothing, art, & jewelry, homes, on and on….basically everything and
then some. In a nutshell these scumbags paid any and all exspenses down
to groceries and morning coffee out of these church donations! The so
called “church money” equals Ron and families money.
What a brazen piece of garbage. These people are sociopaths. I feel
for those of you who were ever entangled with this freak! There is
nothing at all Godly about this man. That is putting it lightly.
