The lawsuit we are going to talk about is very important, because it impacts two major issues in our city that create a ripple effect, as everyone is getting very fed up of the situation at hand.
In a time of prosperity there should be no place for fractions of the examples of poor conduct that has plagued our city for over ten years. Considering we are in a precarious time where small mistakes can cause harm, we know big ones can cause irreparable harm, or even reverse any progress that may have been made. Intentional actions of wrongdoing is far worse. Ignoring intentional and willful misconduct, or the punishment of it, out of political favor by ANYONE, amounts to enabling it. That includes the media.
We all know about the horrendous crime scene backlog at the Albuquerque Police Department. No doubt, the disgusting behavior we are about to tell you about did not help it. And of course, as with all of our stories there are a few filth bag miscreants who got to retire, and walk away like the rest of the cowards and COCKroaches.
Back in 2016 Judge Malot, of Albuquerque District, court was assigned civil case number D-202-CV-201605356. The case was filed by Furman G Sizemore PhD, a black man. Mr. Sizemore was the senior Forensic Scientist at the Albuquerque Police Crime Lab.
The above lawsuit was filed based on racial discrimination, when two of the three scientists who work at the APD CRIME LAB were given raises, increasing their pay to $42.00 per hour. Sizemore continued to make $10.00 per hour less, because he was not given one. During all of this, John Krebsbach was the Crime Lab Director. He is no longer there of course. He retired.
During the trial last week, it came out that John Krebsbach testified that he called Sizemore an idiot, and that he was the worst supervisor ever, although he had gotten good reviews for 12 years. Krebsbach would not accept any of Sizemore’s credentials backing his deserving of a raise, but did accept Mike Haag’s and Bill Watson’s. Haag and Watson were the other two Scientists who did get their raises.
Our Eyes told us that the case testimony revealed that Bill Watson is not qualified for the job he was hired for, but is a friend of Krebsbach. He is paid $87,000 annually. Our Eyes said that there was proof he did not pass proficiency exams in a timely manner, but the department lied and qualified him. Testimony further revealed that Krebsbach did not want to hire Sizemore when he was on Sizemore’s interview panel, and Sizemore was refused advancement three times. It sure looks like there was some bad feelings over Krebsbach having to hire Sizemore, and Sizemore being more qualified and educated than Krebsbach’s cronies!
Our Eyes told us that an email from former APD Crime Lab Analyst Donna Monogue was shown in the courtroom in which she called the Plaintiff in this matter a nigger. That right there should result in a lifetime career change to toilet cleaner forever. Of course Monogue retired.
Jay Stewart is the current Crime Lab Director. Our Eyes told us that during testimony in this case, he downplayed all of Dr. Sizemore’s credentials, training and education, stating that he doesn’t think he is qualified, or should be a supervisor, but when asked about what Sizemore does, Jay did not know.
Our Eyes told us that ironically the year before his raise, Mike Haag got a “does not meet expectations” on his eval. Our Eyes also told us that information about Haag running a private business in which he charges $250 per hour during work at the APD Crime Lab.
Who will APD blame the DNA and latent backlog on now that they can’t blame it on a black man? We wonder if Dr. Sizemore had lost because of the city attorney defrauding the courts, like they have done so many times before, if the city would have dumped the entire blame of backlogged rape cases on this man. We all know how they like to find a scapegoat to lie on to save themselves from scrutiny.
We here at the Eye wonder how many more educated and qualified people will come here bringing expertise and experience, only to have their lives ruined, or to be tortured by those who are less qualified than them, or threatened by their accomplishments, simply because they are not on the inside circle. Does this sound familiar? It should, because it has been going on for years and dozens of innocent employees have suffered because of it. No wonder why we can not attract anyone to come here, and most employees are leaving.
We would have been highly impressed by the city administration, along with the city attorney’s office had they stepped in, settled this, made it right, and punished the offenders properly. It is no surprise they didn’t because all of the suspects were in place during the shitty Schultz ride, and they were being defended by those in the city attorney’s office who were brought up by former city attorney and liar Levy. This did not happen, as the city attorney’s office seems hell bent on carrying the water for the past administration’s cases. This is why we believe in retroactively cutting out the cancers, and fixing the past. Until the past trespasses are addressed this place will continue down a dystopic path for employees and prospective employees. It truly is disgusting.
The verdict, as seen in the below documents was an overwhelming victory for Furman Sizemore, and for anyone who has been unfairly targeted by people like this. We here at the Eye are fed up of this, and would like to congratulate Doctor Sizemore in his win. We hope the punitive damages are seven digits.
Krebsbach retired, but is on a board that gets grants for the lab, our Eyes reported. We have all seen how things go down this path. We all know how money talks when it comes to this place and those who look the other way.
We here at the Eye find it interesting that such a severe case like this was ignored by the media here in Albuquerque. It would seem very weird if we were not educated, but we are educated in what is happening. Many on the other side of things wish we were not so educated but they can keep wishing.
A while back, we said that we appreciated fairness in reporting, and that we were not going to tolerate stacking the deck, or putting the thumb on the scale, in order to ignore relevant topics, or ignore doing the right thing, just because it may not be popular politically, or fit the agenda of a few.
Why has this not been reported on in the media? Maybe it is the department influence on media personnel.
It has been brought to our attention that a certain APD PIO likes to text Albuquerque reporters to give them shit for reporting on issues that do not shed a good light on the department. This PIO may have networked his way into not being dispensable by the new administration. That is all fine and dandy, but now we will post the below photos and ask you if this is the reason that certain things get reported on and certain things don’t?
We’ll let our readers be the judge. Maybe they’ll know who that car belongs to, where it’s parked, and who the two character are going in and out of a property with one of them going to it at all hours of the day and night is. Hint. One is male. One is female. One is a reporter. This is only a fraction of the intel and media we have concerning this issue right here and it is being posted to show why it may appear the media is bias or conflicted severely. We bet absolutely no APD CADS have one single log out here for all the dates and times we have.
We have one question. Where the fuck was the Chief Administrative Officer Serita Nair at when one of the only persons of color at the Crime Lab was being tormented, and why did this administration not step in, and fix it, instead of trying to defend it by letting it go to trial. We say walk the fucking walk. If you want to act like the shiny happy passive answer to the problems here you better roll your fucking sleeves up and get dirty. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You do not get to act like you have the answers when you do not have the fortitude to step the fuck up. And we surely are not going to let this pretentious dog shit persist.
To the targets of our articles addressing our writings with their excuses of time limitations and other nonsense for both past and present conduct concerning the disgusting behavior of employees and supervisors that went unaccounted for, unpunished, and covered up, you can shut the fuck up. How’s that? Is that clear enough for your cowardly arrogant incompetent asses?
Hmmmm. This ain’t Kansas anymore... is it?
Till the next time.
Cheers,
The Eye
