This is REALLY bad for Kalkaska County... vote him out!

There are several US Supreme Court decisions which have been violated by Prosecutor Ryan Ziegler in this case which I will mention in a moment. All blatant Constitutional violations.

First it must be known that MSP has disappeared the dash cam footage from the night of the seizure in its entirety. The dash cam footage which was given to the defense in discovery has the entire several minute beginning deleted which doesn't align with the false narrative that MSP has put forth in this case. In fact all of the video submitted in discovery has been edited by MSP.

Secondly, MSP has deleted a material spoken sentence from the BWC that the trooper declared during the seizure which would raise doubt that he had probable cause when he first began to attempt to seize. The process has also been described by other police departments that use Motorola BWC's including but not limited to the Grand Junction, Colorado police department.

MSP Trooper Koedy Dole committed not only felony perjury on a search warrant affidavit with absolute motive to do so, but then committed perjury on the stand during my evidentiary hearing, grossly altering the facts and chronology of events during both the seizure AND the in-cruiser interview cam. Kalkaska County attorney Tom Seger (who was useless) failed to correct it or even request that the video be played in court. The prosecutor then either took it upon himself to type the false and misleading brief that he filed with the Court of Appeals, or was negligent in simply quoting the troopers false testimony that the camera footage doesn't support.

- United States Supreme Court -

In a recent SCOTUS case, Glossip v Oklahoma 2025, SCOTUS ruled against the state based on its violation of Napue v. Illinois (1959), stating "knowing use of false testimony by a prosecutor in a criminal case violates the Due Process Clause"

"The same result obtains when the State, although not soliciting false evidence, allows it to go uncorrected when it appears". Alcorta v. Texas, 355 U. S. 28; United States ex rel. Thompson v. Dye,221 F.2d 763; United States ex rel. Almeida v. Baldi, 195 F.2d 815; United States ex rel. Montgomery v. Ragen.

SCOTUS goes on to write, The estimate of the truthfulness and reliability of a given witness may well be determinative of guilt or innocence, and it is upon such subtle factors as the possible interest of the witness in testifying falsely that a defendant's life or liberty may depend. As also stated by the New York Court of Appeals in a case very similar to this one, People v. Savvides, (and Trooper Koedy Dole absolutely had motive to lie because his job was on the line because he was probationary at the time of the seizure and the perjury on the warrant affidavit.)

In Kyles v Whitley, SCOTUS reversed the conviction and death sentence in Petitioner Kyle's case where the state knowingly failed to disclose evidence favorable to the accused before and during trial. Further, the court held that a prosecutor has an affirmative duty to disclose evidence favorable to a defendant pursuant to Brady v. Maryland and United States v. Bagley.

Brady v. Maryland of course states that suppression of exculpatory evidence or presentation of false or misleading evidence is a constitutional violation.

Brady v. Maryland declares that prosecutors must turn over any evidence favorable to the accused. That includes anything in the hands of police departments. This brings me to Kalkaska County Sgt Kevin Schaub's involvement where in September of 2022 I called him for help turning in a man from Quincy, Illinois who was molesting and attempting to traffic his 7yo daughter online.

Giglio v. United States declares in part that failing to disclose is the case, even if the failure to disclose was a matter of negligence and not intent.

So it doesnt matter whether the prosecutor had intent. The fact of the matter is that its been done.

In a recorded conversation in which he acknowledged he was aware I was recording, attorney Michael Horowitz claims that the prosecutor doesn't have to follow along with the police videos and even claims himself that he can't remember whats in my seizure video. It's shocking that the above strongly held precedents by SCOTUS don't seem to apply in Kalkaska County.

Thus, in my complaint to the Michigan Atty General and Attorney Grievance Commission, Ryan Ziegler is dishonest on several of his replies including telling the AGC that the Trooper testified to exactly what was in the videos and that I'm just upset over the seizure and I'm lying myself. He then falsely claims that I was aware that the scam artist was underage all along which the in-cruiser cam and text evidence directly refutes.

Now, regarding KCSO Sgt. Kevin Schaub's knowledge of exculpatory evidence which the prosecutor has been aware of since my 2025 AGC complaint and has said nothing, and Kevin Schaub has been aware of since September of 2022 and has said nothing, he has been ordered to be silent by Kalkaska County Sheriff Pat Whiteford (which takes us back into Brady territory).

This is what Schaub and the prosecutor knows, which no local attorney would tell Judge George Mertz about even at my urging and even though we seem to have a constitutional problem here. These local attorneys are afraid to piss in the little pond that they work in, especially if it's a huge Constitutional problem and the prosecutor is the one violating Constitutional case law.

In Sept of 2022 I called Kevin Schaub on his cellphone, which is irrefutable as shown in MSP's own Cellebrite extraction and admitted to by Ryan Ziegler in his reply to the AGC, although in a dishonest and minimalizing fashion. I then went on to report my findings about that abused child in Illinois which you can read about on other pages of this site, and I received no help except for a link to an Illinois government website. The prosecutor has known about this child and surely seen my evidence I've placed on this site and in my complaints, and STILL hasn't said anything or acknowledged that something needs to be done.

The cache files Ryan Ziegler claims to have are operating system files. There are only 2 sides to a computer or smartphone, the system side and the user side. In an email I've obtained written to the prosecutor from the MSP CCU tech who analyzed my phone, the analyst declares that these types of files aren't really accessible to a phones user. Furthermore, it has been discovered that the Israeli Cellebrite software itself is what makes those system files appear as a viewable photo. However in all of Ziegler's briefings and language he continues to refer to them as photos and videos. This is yet more misleading (cue Brady and Giglio) statements entered into the legal system by the prosecutor. It is absolute fact that there were no folders created by me or storage created by me on the user side of the phone where any of this filth was found. Further, it is impossible for the user of a phone to click on or otherwise open and view a cache file because its simply not executable in that way. The fact that the prosecutor claimed to the AGC that these aren't system files, is a LIE. Also, the fact that he continues to call these system files "photos and videos" in his briefings is not only misleading but completely inaccurate (cue Brady, Giglio and Napue v Illinois). I'll say it again, MSP's Israeli-made Cellebrite software is what transforms those system files into viewable files and the avg citizen surely doesn't have Cellebrite.

Being that the state CSAM statute requires specific intent, it is very inaccurate to declare operating system files of this type to be something that was placed into an inaccessible area of the phones system side, by the phones user intentionally. Further, there were no actual photo or video files found in the MFT (master file table) which is where photos and videos go when they are deleted by the phones user, and placed there to recycle into usable memory.

Kalkaska County Prosecutor Ryan Ziegler is a very dangerous and dishonest COWARD as clearly evidenced by what he has attempted to do in my case which resulted in the brand new Michigan Court of Appeals case law called "Evans" which effects all of you!

Also, warning, the dickhead Michigan State 'Trooper' Koedy Dole is still on the street and hasn't been fired by the State of Michigan for his felony perjury. Any case he is involved with should be severely scrutinized and your attorney can refer back to what he did here in Kalkaska County when he's under cross-examination in your case, because once a dirtbag lying cop... always a dirtbag lying cop.

"Oh... well you lied your ass off in 46th Circuit Court in the Evans case didn't you Trooper Dole? Well then how do we know you aren't lying your ass off in this courtroom right now Trooper Dole? You seem to have a big problem with committing perjury to save your own ass don't you Trooper Dole?"
