The Harry Blausey Case, Newark Ohio, Licking County Ohio, Real Estate Foreclosure Specialist in Jail - Could YOU be Next, By Robert Paisola



For Immediate Release Copyright 2009 RobertPaisola.com All Rights Reserved. Robert Paisola, Los Angeles, California February 22, 2009



In Licking County, Ohio, The Newark Advocate reports that a Newark man has been indicted for 30 felony counts related to his alleged making of criminally false promises to 15 homeowners facing foreclosure. The man, Harry W. Blausey, 66, was charged with:

1. 10 counts of grand theft, a fourth-degree felony;
2. 14 counts of securing writings by deception, a fourth-degree felony;
3. five counts of theft, a fifth-degree felony; and
4. one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a second-degree felony.

An excerpt from the story:

* Licking County Prosecutor Ken Oswalt declined to discuss the specifics of Blausey’s alleged actions, but did say that the defendant preyed on their foreclosure concerns. “In most, if not all, of these (charges), he accepted from (the alleged victims) a quit claim deed,” he said. “They signed their property over to him based on the representations he was making. ... They would sign there property over to him thinking they would get a significant benefit in terms of avoiding foreclosure .. or walking away from the property.”

* In addition to the 30-count indictment, Blausey is involved in 17 civil cases in the Licking County Common Pleas Court. Six of those cases involve plaintiffs named in the indictment.

For more, see:

* Too good to be true (In a pinch, they trusted him; now he faces 30 charges in mortgage deal),

* Man indicted in foreclosure fraud scheme (Former real estate agent also facing civil court complaints),

* More area residents come forward about foreclosure case,

* Recorder raised suspicions 2 years ago (Licking County Recorder Bryan Long said his office was skeptical of documents submitted by Harry Blausey as far back as 2006).

The Foundations Preliminary Notes:

A key point to be highlighted in this case is that, like many of the other cases in this market, there were multiple (presumably unrelated, unconnected) homeowners involving multiple properties that were claiming to be victims. The victims DID NOT ALL COME FORWARD to allege that they were taken advantage of, but were SOUGHT OUT BY LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT based on Deed and Recording Activity. We believe that it's reasonable to assume that this case is based upon much community emotion and the belief that the commonality of being a victim when presented a PRE PREPARED questionnaire from Law Enforcement is a terrifying prospect for most American Citizens. How would you react- faced with law enforcement at your door stating that you may have done something wrong, or that you MAY JUST BE A VICTIM... Which would YOU choose?

However, what if the structure of the deal that you agreed to, signed and executed was something that created a win-win between two parties, one being an expert in Real Estate Investment and the other a victim of a pending foreclosure?

What if you were to see materials that were available to YOU, that would provide you with a step by step approach to investing in Foreclosed Real Estate and Pre-Foreclosure Real Estate. What if the data that you were being presented was sold and taught by hundreds of International Experts on Real Estate including but not limited to Carlton Sheets, Ron Legrand, Russ Whitney, The Trump Organizations Trump University, or The Learning Annex?

Much Much More to Come....

Convicting an innocent person represents a failure in our criminal justice system, Posted by Robert Paisola


Convicting an innocent person represents a failure in our criminal justice system.

With the advent of DNA evidence, we can now know with absolute certainty that certain convictions were mistakes. But how did the police, prosecutor, judge, and jury all find this person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? Criminal Justice Reform Commissions enable us to review the case, identify the causes of mistaken conviction, and recommend remedial steps to avoid future mistaken convictions.

When innocent people are the focus of investigations and prosecution, the real perpetrator evades responsibility. By improving the operation of our criminal justice system, Criminal Justice Reform Commissions are just good law enforcement.

What is a Criminal Justice Reform Commission?

A Criminal Justice Reform Commission is an independent investigative committee comprised of key players from throughout the criminal justice system, including prosecutors, judges, police officers, defense attorneys and forensic scientists. They examine post-conviction DNA exonerations to establish their causes and recommend changes to prevent future wrongful convictions.

The key features of Criminal Justice Reform Commissions are subpoena power, access to first-rate investigative resources, and political independence. These commissions must be trusted to speak out about cases where the system fails. Finally, they must consist of distinguished players from all aspects of the criminal justice system, so that their findings will be trusted, respected, and acted upon.

Have Criminal Justice Reform Commissions been formed elsewhere?

Government entities in California, Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin have established Criminal Justice Reform Commissions, and many more states are considering doing the same. Based on the work of these commissions, states have enacted reforms relating to eyewitness identification practice, reducing the prevalence of false confessions and establishing statewide forensic oversight.

In some states where governmental efforts to form Criminal Justice Reform Commissions have not come to fruition, state bar associations have taken on similar work. In 2008, the President of the New York State Bar Association announced the formation of a blue ribbon task force charged with identifying the systemic, procedural and statutory causes of wrongful conviction in New York State. The 22-member task force will issue a report to the New York legislature in April of 2009.
