Despite the media report that will use Anthony Gray as the primary name when discussing the Mike Brown family attorneys, the real attorneys -the ones with the political connections and leverage needed- are Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump.

After reading through the full DOJ report on Ferguson it started to become obvious what emphasis Holder’s DOJ was placing on the findings, and the motives therein.

The DOJ, and Civil Rights Division Community Relations Service, is doing the same groundwork as a Grand Jury; meaning they are positioning Crump and Parks for their lawsuit.

A subtle tack in an otherwise consistently played out strategy.

Daryl parks and brown familyIn the Martin Lee Anderson, Trayvon Martin, Kendrick Johnson and now Mike Brown cases, the Black Grievance Industry (BGI) needs ’cause’, or ‘standing’, for their civil rights lawsuits. All of the aforementioned families were/are represented by Ben Crump and Daryl Parks.

We have called Parks, Crump and their team, the “scheme team”, because they use the scheme of demanding arrests to gain their legal threshold of proof for their lawsuits. They don’t demand convictions, they only want arrests.

In all their prior Scheme Team cases the strategy was to use “the arrest” as enough probable cause to leverage wrongful death lawsuits. After all, presumably the arrest of an individual indicates probable cause by itself. This saves them from any work in court to prove the basis for their claim, and this established burden is what they need for a successful civil suit.

This prior strategy worked in the Martin Lee Anderson case, and again in the Trayvon Martin case, where black grievance leverage was applied to the local and state officials demanding an arrest.

In both Anderson and Trayvon the people arrested were cleared in trial – George Zimmerman being the most famous of them cleared. But Parks and Crump don’t care about the conviction, they only needed the arrest to kick-off the civil suits against the City, State (Martin Lee Anderson), and against the Home Owners Association (Trayvon Martin).

However, Ferguson Missouri caught on to the scheme as a result of the sunlight we have applied upon it.

As soon as the exact same playbook began rolling out against Ferguson, the Mayor, the Police Chief and Department, and against Officer Darren Wilson, a counter strategy was deployed. The countering strategy is essentially just not allowing yourself to be pressured into taking an approach not normally undertaken.

Unlike Sanford Florida where Prosecutor Norm Wolfinger was leveraged and pressured to leave the case, in Saint Louis Prosecutor Robert McCollough did not bypass the Grand Jury nor step aside from the prosecution. McCollough stood firm. This derailed the scheme.

Enter the new approach of having Eric Holder, through the DOJ, create the ‘probable cause’ needed by Parks and Crump – the Scheme Team.

FERGUSON – The family of Ferguson, Mo. teenager Michael Brown intends to sue Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed him in a shooting that attracted national attention, they said Thursday.

“You will get a more clear, a more accurate picture, of what took place that day,” said Anthony Gray, one of the lawyers who represents the family.

The suit will be filed against Wilson and the city of Ferguson, lawyers said, adding that more parties may be named. It will cover “wrongful death” and may include “other actions.”

Leslie McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr., Michael Brown’s parents, did not take questions. But their attorneys said they believe that they can win a civil case even though federal and state investigators did not bring criminal charges against the officer.

“I think that the standard that we have is totally different,” said Daryl Parks, another lawyer.

The standard of proof required to win a civil case is lower than the one needed to file criminal charges, they said.

Federal authorities said Wednesday that they had not found enough evidence to prove that Wilson had known he was in the wrong when he shot the unarmed Brown — the particularly high standard of proof required for federal civil rights charges. They said that they could not disprove his assertion that he feared for his life at the time of the shooting. The family’s lawyers said they disagreed with the finding. (more)

Essentially they are going to use the DOJ finding report, in lieu of the prior arrest strategy, as the probable cause evidence for their civil suit extortion.

It then boils down to whether or not the City and their various insurance companies therein, are willing to fight the Scheme Team in court – or if they decide it’s just easier to pay them off to go away. Usually the decision is made to pay them off so they leave town, it’s easier.

However, if they do decide to fight the claim – the discovery phase of a civil lawsuit is WIDE OPEN to bringing in all kinds of related material such as the juvenile records of Mike Brown, arrest records, and all of the illicit details surrounding his entire family including his step-father Louis Head.

But that takes a team of attorneys willing to “go there” and drag all of that material into the disinfecting sunlight.

It was the aversion to this process which protected the City of Sanford and George Zimmerman, because the back-story on Trayvon Martin was loaded with violence, drug use, fighting, and criminal conduct. In addition Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton were on record with outrageous lies that were never challenged.

The Scheme Team had painted a picture of Trayvon Martin which was totally different from the reality of his actual life and behavior. They wanted to keep that hidden at all costs, and the possibility of counter lawsuits by George Zimmerman against Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton to expose the lies were very real risks the Scheme Team choose to avoid.

In Ferguson the Mike Brown Scheme Team is betting they don’t carry the same risks.
