THE PRETTY LIE'S REBUTTAL TO ALLEGATIONS AGAINST WENDY


In response to the libelous and slanderous statement about me personally by former Genesee Prosecutor Art Bush and published by Ms. Kur, I feel I have no choice but to respond. 

I want to state yet again that I do not know either candidate that is running for Judge in Charlevoix County, I have never spoken to Ms. Kur (even in Court when she was a prosecutor) or Mr. Hayes.   I do not support any candidate; I have not made the flyers that have been falsely and maliciously attributed to me but it is interesting that Ms. Kur posted part of the flyer and left out the part that claimed she cost the county MILLIONS of dollars. 

First and foremost, Mr. Bush states “Ms. Beal’s version of history is blatantly false”, “Miss Beal clearly does not have the knowledge of the case or its details or she would not make such unfounded personal attacks” and that he was the Chief prosecutor in this case.

        -       I have been provided a copy of the transcript of Ms. Kur’s                  testimony from this case and it clearly states that Mr. Daniel                      Stamos and Mr. DeGarmo were the prosecutors in the case for at least Ms. Kur’s testimony.
 
        -       My version of the “history” comes directly from the sworn                testimony of Ms. Kur given under oath on Thursday October 30,                        1997 in front of the Honorable Robert M. Ransom in Flint                           Michigan. 

Mr. Bush states “It is well documented that long before she went to law school, Mary Beth was first to gather the courage and strength to come forward and file tenure charges against Crear in 1986..”
       
        -       The transcript provides:

                Question: Mr. Stamos “Okay.  You had come forward in 1987 to                                        the Flint School Board, had you not?”

                Answer:  Ms. Kur  “Yes I did”
                                Transcript page 460 lines 21-23

                Question:  Mr. Stamos  “As a result of those discussions with                                      her, what did you do?

                Answer:  Ms. Kur  “I decided to go to the Flint Public Schools….”

                Question:  Mr. Stamos  “And do you remember what year that                                  was?”

                Answer: Ms. Kur  “It was in 1987”

                Transcript page 524 line 14-22

        -       Clearly, Mr. Bush is wrong in his hate-filled and slanderous                        letter.  I take what Ms. Kur testified under oath as the truth.                     
Regarding the “fact” that Mr. Bush states that Ms. Kur came to the School board long before she was in law school:   

        -       The transcript provides:

                Answer:  Ms. Kur  “Yes.  After I finished at Michigan, I went on                          to the University of Detroit School of Law and I obtained a                                law degree from there.”
                                Transcript 459/460  pg 24-1

        -       Ms. Kur’s own Facebook page states “Mary Beth is a 1985                               graduate of the University of Michigan. She obtained her law                             degree from the University of Detroit School of Law in 1990.  (It                       is believed Ms. Kur went to law school at night which was a 4                             year program)

        -       It is interesting to note that Ms. Kur’s Facebook page states:

She spent the next 13 years as a prosecutor before opening her own private practice in 2004
                -       The transcript provides:

                        Answer:  Ms. Kur  “…. Then prior to that [Charlevoix                                         County] I worked in the Genesee County                                                           Prosecutor’s office; and prior to that, I worked for                                             the private law firm of Gault, Davison, Bowers, Hill,                                         Parker and McAra in Flint.” 
               
                        Question:  Mr. Stamos  “Could you tell the jury when you                                 worked for the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office.

                        Answer:  Ms. Kur  “I started there in May I think of ’92 and                               I left there in April of ‘93”
                        Transcript pg 460 lines 9-17

                -       Now taking Ms. Kur’s SWORN TESTIMONY from the                                           transcript, she was a “prosecutor from May 1992 until she                                 opened her own office in 2004 [I take that to mean she                                     opened her private office while still the sitting prosecutor]                                 which is 11 ½ years and not the 13 she claims. 

                   -       Lastly, Kur didn’t open up her own practice in 2004 but                                      worked for the Firm Schmoll, Martin & Kur, PLLC in                                          Petoskey, Michigan.  A review of her PLC filings                                                shows that she filed for her own office on August 8, 2006.    

                              What is the truth?


               For someone who want to be a Circuit Judge, at least they                               could be honest on where they worked, who they worked for                             and what experience they have. 

Mr. Bush states “She then spoke out loudly and strongly to Crear’s employer in Florida but once again, no one in a position of authority did the right thing… until tragedy struck again in 1995.

        -       The transcript provides:

                -       Question:  Mr. Stamos  “When George Crear left Central,                          did you make a call down to Florida?

                -       Answer:  Ms. Kur  “Yes I did”

                -       Question:  Mr. Stamos  “to where?

                -       Answer:  Ms. Kur  “to the Miami Public School System”

                -       Question:  Mr. Stamos  “And I don’t want to get into what                                 you told them, but did you tell them something?

                -       Answer:  Ms. Kur   “Yes”
                -       Question:  Mr. Stamos   “Did you give them your name?

                -       Answer:  Ms. Kur   “No”
 
                                Transcript  page 528, line 8-17
       
                 -     Is ONE anonymous call to Crear’s employer considered speaking “loudly and strongly”?  
      
                  Since Mr. Bush brought this to the attention of the public and Ms. Kur posted his slanderous letter on her Facebook page, I will let the people decide.

                  Is Mr. Bush correct or is the SWORN TESTIMONY UNDER OATH correct?

           -       I do find it somewhat troubling that Mr. Bush states that the                      Florida school investigators discovered notes IN THEIR OWN                      FILES documenting multiple calls from Mary Beth Kur and her                    father, when the SWORN TESTIMONY of Ms. Kur states she                       made “a” call “anonymously”. 

                     Who is correct?

                   Mr. Bush states “the claims made online and over the airwaves are that Mary Beth Kur is to blame for Crear’s abuse and manipulation of other children to wit: “Mary Beth Kur went to law school, was an attorney and did nothing to stop a pedophile from abusing other girls.  One girl committed suicide while she sat back and did nothing.” 

        -       Ms. Kur went to law school- that is fact

        -       Ms. Kur was an attorney in 1990, worked in private practice with                Gault Davison, although she conveniently forgot this on her                              facebook page, and was employed as an assistant prosecutor in                        Genesee County in May of 1992 and then Charlevoix County until                      2004.

        -       Mr. Bush calls George Crear a pedophile- that is apparently true
       
        -       The Transcript states:

                -       Answer:  Ms. Kur  “The first time I remember the light bulb                       sort of going off in my head that this was not a healthy,                            good relationship…. and I was older and I knew.  And I                             thought about that at like 18 or 19, but I never did                                     anything about it until later”   

                                Transcript   pg 530 lines 16-24. 

                -       Ms. Kur, at 18 or 19 was in college at the University of                             Michigan when the light bulb went off.  Transcript

                -       Ms. Kur was an assistant prosecutor from May 1992 until                           2004.

                -       The transcript reveals that Ms. Kur knew this pedophile                                      was having inappropriate sexual relations with high school                                girls because it happened in front of her.
                               
                         Transcript 506-507 

                  -       the details are not what is important here.

        -       What is important is this:

                - Ms. Kur was an attorney in 1990- I may be wrong but I                                      believe you learn criminal law while in law school.   She                                    was well beyond the 18 or 19 years old when “the light                                      bulb went off”

                -       If you take Ms. Kur’s claims as true that she has 13 years                                 of prosecution experience [she claims on her facebook that                               she graduated in 1990 took the bar exam and spent the                                   next 13 years in prosecution]    that means that she was in                               prosecution from 1991-2004- which means her Facebook                                   page is not true or her testimony is not true.    

                -       The transcript reveals that Ms. Kur testified that she                                        “believes that she handled a preliminary exam for a                                          criminal sexual conduct case” while an assistant prosecutor                       in Genesee County.   Page 533 line 24-24

                       - In any event,
                       - she knew of Crear and his behavior for a long time, -                                       true/testimony

                        -       the light bulb came on when she was 18 or 19. -                                      testimony

                        -       She knew Crear was with at least one other girl. -                                    testimony

                        -       She knew he moved to the Miami school system [she                               called one time anonymously]-  testimony

                        -       If Mr. Crear is the pedophile that Mr. Bush claims                                             him to be, does Ms. Kur really believe that he would                                         miraculously stop his ways when he moved to teach                                         in another school district?

                        -        According to the Harvard Health Publication of                                                the Harvard Medical School, July 2010 there is                                                  no cure for this type of behavior 

                         -      A girl in Florida, 16 years old, committed suicide in                                          1992 because she thought Crear had spurned her,                                            according to testimony during a 7 day trial. 

                                    Florida Sun Sentinal  February 12, 1997.  Unfortunate Fact

I have never blamed Ms. Kur for the actions of Mr. Crear nor would I.    Those actions are reprehensible and he is in prison where he should be. 

   The transcript and all of its sordid details have not been posted.  The extent of this relationship, the years and years of it have not been posted. 

 The fact is that Ms. Kur knew of these actions, was an attorney and by her claims, a prosecutor, and also by her claims made one anonymous call to stop this guy and after knowing this man went to another school, a girl committed suicide. 

It is Ms. Kur that is touting her “prosecutorial experience” and that she has been “a voice for victims”, “she has what it takes” etc.  Is this true or misleading to the public? 

 Did she do enough to stop this person?  Could she have done more?  Her character, life experiences, how she conducts herself is all in play when one wants to be elected to the prestigious office of Circuit Court Judge.


Lastly, by publishing Mr. Bush’s libelous and slanderous letter about me on her Facebook page, Ms. Kur has defamed my reputation.  I am not a public figure; I am not running for a public office.  I simply state the facts so that the public can make an informed decision. 

 The facts are the facts and the sworn testimony is supposedly the truth, the “truth” is not what one puts on their Facebook page. 

 The sole question is whether you believe that enough was done to stop this man by not only an attorney but by a prosecuting attorney.  I don’t think so but you are free to disagree with me.  

FROM MARY BETH KUR FOR JUDGE - FACEBOOK


Sad & Pathetic

Isn’t it pretty pathetic when someone could stoop so low as to take the intensely personal fact that 38 years ago, as a child, our candidate was one of dozens and dozens of children harmed by a now convicted criminal and try to twist it to their political advantage by implying that she was the cause? That is exactly what is going on here. The people who put this out there don’t care about the truth.  The only objective they have is to win by personal destruction - that they try to accomplish with blatant lies.  Any attempt to highlight child abuse or use an attack on the spouse of the other candidate as factors in this judicial race is shameful and illustrates politic at its absolute worst. Shame on them.
