Something’s up with Raymond Martin in Benton…

This is all we can tell you right now (scroll way down, sorry…lots of Raymond Martin info):

Freshly screen-shot from PACER

Just did our day’s-end check of Raymondo’s situation…it appears a writ has been issued for him as of today, to be brought from Jackson County jail to the federal courthouse in Benton. It also appears that, if the “ad testificandum” is toward someone on the witness list, someone’s testimony is being compelled. As the government isn’t supposed to be able to compel the testimony of the accused, it’s apparently not Raymondo. However, because the documents 68, 69 and 70 aren’t clickable, we’re not going to know WHOSE testimony it is.

We don’t have any idea what this could pertain right now…witnesss lists haven’t been made available. We have been told by two officials, one involved in the case, one peripheral to it, that there is no hope for a plea now, and the one involved in the case even said “See ya Monday.” So the trial is going down, whether we get papers delivered in a timely manner or not.

We’ll keep you posted as to what we do learn…keep checking back and mark your RSS feeds for anything “Raymond Martin.”

    harvy-I am assuming you are aiming your comment towards me not galco who are 2 separate posters. for the record I wasn’t the first one to try and “out” a poster that was done long before me. Also, I didn’t post the actual name. It was just an observation of mine. Also, I am close to NOONE connected with this trial. Do I know some of them…yes. Am I close to them…hardly. Furthermore, I NEVER VOTED FOR HIM. Also, not crying and whining there is enough of that going on and has been for years. I, for one am NOT a whiner. Look back, I am not the one who posted a name. Salinecounty has and new comer has…NOT ME! My head has always and will continue to be held high because I KNOW that I was in NO WAY affiliated with this stupid mess! However, it is pretty bad when you are 4 states away and someone asks you where you are from, you tell them and then they say oh that is where the sheriff was selling drugs and trying to get his family to knock people off. That is when it gets a tad bit embarassing. Shame on me for feeling that way I guess. Oh well, I like having a little dignity,humility and morals. Its all good. I am off to work now have a great day.

    Thanks!! You too and while I am at it have a super week next week! :) Work awaits………yuck :((

  5. well

    I love the state of Illinois but think to some stupid ass people mainly down state voters keep voting dumb freak n criminals like Raymond in to power . The southern vote is what got Rod reelected the last time . I swear you should have to take a I.Q test to be able to vote. I urge these people to use there brains when they note for now on . When voting don’t vote for a guy cause you think he will let you or your family out of trouble. That is for local elections like ( town – county boards , sheriff, states attorney and so on ). We need term limits on all positions that are elected. That would cut down on dirty officials. All elected officials should be subjected to random drug testing. That would get rid of a lot of the problems. Do to when judges,sheriffs and S.A don’t have to worry about there dealer telling on them they will not be temped to protect the scum. To the people of G.C look who pushed for Raymond year after year you know who they are and if they are pushing for a candidate maybe you should look twice at him or her. Example admin favorite big G.C farmer here are the I’ll give you a clue they own the old school in Shawnee town . Another 1 runs a funeral home with his father. You know who he is you keep voting him in to . I swear it seems some people never learn . That brings back the I.Q testing to vote.

    i agree with you on some of this post well says.But often ,in the case of the Funernal Director the poeple down there don’t have a choice so you can’t blame them for that one.
    You are right to check to see who is backing who and they may be cause for the votes to be changed when you think why they would be so interested in an election.

  8. well

    Funeral Director is also the county corner

  9. Top Cat

    Doesn’t he run unapposed most of the time?

  10. well

    No 1 run against him much anymore. Several had in the past but him and Raymond are tight and no one could beat him or Raymond. Just like no one can beat Beth Wargel who was Raymond fling at one time. Raymond out her into her office. I can’t figure out why no one ran against Raymond sister Monia it would of been the right time to do it. Raymond also put her into office. Raymond had tight control on the court house he always had Beth, Monia , and always the states attorney no matter who it was.

  11. well

    Hell he even put the barker boy on the county board

  12. @Well

    I can tell by more than one of your comments (the “downstate” one for sure)that you are a Bohunk transplant…welcome to Southern Illinois,we don’t give a fuck HOW you did it in Chicago and if Chicago politicians and voters are so smart(as if) then I’ll let you in on a secret….I-57 runs back north too you jagoff.

    I mean that in the nicest way possible too. : )

  13. WELL

    Muleskinner I am surprised you can spell Chicago lol .I hate to tell you southern Illinois could not support it self with out Chicago. With your handle on here I take it your from White County.

    • I gotta jump in this.

      @WELL: I believe Southern Illinois should boycott—and cut off trade with—Will, Cook & Dupage counties.

      Let’s see how long they last when the groceries run out.

      And the rest of southern Illinois picking them off when they try to cross the county line.

  14. eileen ovaclosa

    @WELL…Yes, we Southern Illinoisans could not support ourselves without the $$$ that is left over after the Big City crooks take their hands out of the till. We all appreciate yall’s kindness. ;)

  15. WELL

    I guess are crooks take to much money. That has to makes your elected crooks sell drugs and take advantage of under age girls.

  16. WELL

    Oh hell I forgot there not smart enough to find a way to get the money the legal way.

  17. eileen ovaclosa

    WELL, they can’t be expected to do things as well as Blago did. Too bad he couldn’t have given our crooks down here a little tutoring on how to get the big $$$. A CROOK is a CROOK whether he be from up North or down South.

  18. Hardluck Hannah

    @eileen…you’re wasting your efforts with that one, kiddo. He’s as dumb as a box of rocks and apparently he’s trying to act like he’s from Chicago. My advice if he’s so fond of the big city, then go back. What the hell is he doing down here anyway? We all know there’s no work.

  19. just me

    I have a way to pay the national debt and solve Illinois problems as well. I say we build a giant wall around Chicago and give everything and everyone in it to China.

  20. eileen ovaclosa

    @HHANNAH…I know. Just bored, waiting on a tv program. Or, I’m not saying I agree, but there were times my mother used to say that I would argue with a stop sign(maybe WELL is one) :D . Seems like ‘just me’ has a pretty good idea though. When I think of Chicago I think of the story about them trying to borrow from Old Town’s bank. I LOVE that story and I love that building.

  21. eileen ovaclosa

    PS…I used to love Old Town even though I was terrified for most of the time I was there…ohhh…the good ole days!

  22. Hardluck Hannah

    @eileen…I know all about that bored feeling, gal. Been there..done that. I think you’re right about “just me” and that suggestion. I figure we could do pretty good if that happened, but you and I won’t see it in our life time.

    Hey, I have my memories of old town too. Jeez, those were the good old days when a tavern was a real tavern, no one worried about drugs, and cops were even friendly and would offer a helping hand if needed. You don’t see that too much any more, do you?

    I’m not shutting down for the night just yet, but it won’t be long for me. It’s been a hard day of yard work and I’m pooped.

    Later…

  23. @Well

    Nope…you are wrong again shit for brains…I’m in southeast Williamson county.

    I never could understand why Chicago’s major export was inbred idiots and WHY they all end up finding their way to our little slice of paradise and then complain about everything here.GO HOME IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT HERE.Don’t say goodbye,just leave.

    BTW-before you try to join the Spelling Police Force,you need to recheck your’s…..a sure sign of a loser on boards/forums is a spelling nazi.

    Have a good evening. :-[)

  24. try to be nice

    @WELL, I may be a hick from southern Illinois but I do know how to use there, they’re and their correctly.

  25. Hardluck Hannah

    @try to be nice. I do too and AMEN to that.

  26. just me

    I’ll furnish the guns and ammo.

  27. galcounty

    Well I guess this week we will FINALLY hear the explanation that has been promised by Raymond and his supporters for his illegal activities. I might need hip boots for this!:)

  28. @ Just Me & Admin

    :) I’ll bring the BBQ and fried catfish to this war….troops gotta eat.

    I try my best not to hate anyone or to even get mad anymore,but for some reason I absolutely loathe most “Chicagonads” that I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with and they are the only people I can just hear their accent and start getting pissed off nearly instantly…Prejudiced against them? You bet…..I cannot stand anything about them and it really pisses me off when one of those idiots complain about our area,but yet they stay here right in the damn way.Usually with a “No Trespassing” sign on their 1/2 acre of ground.

    Screw ‘em and feed them fish heads is my opnion.

    • @Muleskinner: Go for it!!!

      They all think they’re so tough…until the shit hits the fan and somebody has to go hunt in order to eat. Let’s just see what happens if Chitown gets nuked or we all get hit by an EMP like in “One Second After”…all the city people think they’re going to bully their way into survival…no…don’t think so…LOL

  29. Top Cat

    The pressure is building up!

  30. WELL

    Southern Illinois is mostly a bunch of democrats. Blagovich would have loss the last election if it was for the down state vote. I wanted a republican in office. Oh yea by the way your right Ol Shawnee town did turn Chi town down for a loan. They also said Chi town would never be nothing . Thanks for pointing out the intelligence of Ol town bank board lol

  31. Top Cat

    Where all will you be tomarrow Admin.?

    • We’re all over the place tomorrow…one of us will be in Benton…the other will be with the kids…one team will do North Counties deliveries, the other will do South Counties deliveries, then we’ll meet back up in Benton and cover the rest of the trial. The junior team will pick up any deliveries on Tuesday that couldn’t be made on Monday. Hopefully by Tuesday evening all papers will be delivered and we’ll be having pizza in Benton…Well, I will, because Ang can’t have pizza….and I can’t have pepperoni anymore *sniff* :(

  32. If you dont know the difference between a YANKEY and a DAMN YANKEY will here it is.A Yankey comes down south to visit,A DAMN YANKEY comes down south and stays!

  33. shunned

    been awhile since your last poli sci class there WELL? No, it was the historically crooked DEMOCRATIC machine in Cook Co that put Blago in office. Granted the democratic vote down here didn’t help matters, but the truth of the matter is, all the votes south of I80 have little effect compared to the votes in Cook Co alone. Throw in the collar counties, and our votes mean nothing. So if you want to blame a region for Blago, sorry, but that one is on you all. Now I am a republican. But I am also a Cook Co transplant. Moved down here as a kid. All of my extended family is still in Chicago and surrounding suburbs. So I think I have a pretty good view of both sides. And I can safely say, wild horses couldn’t drag me back to that shit hole you apparently still call home. By all means head north. Return to stay and you will be happy as well. And that will be one less northerner attitude and rudeness that us “hicks” won’t have to put up with. Or you shooting our cows, mules, and dogs thinking you just bagged a deer. Can’t you guys even look at a picture of one before you head down here?? Just wondering. I know y’all love to tell us that we couldn’t survive without the scraps you crooks send our way for our schools and infrastrucure. But ya know, seeing as how have done nothing but fuck us over, I think I can speak for many down here when I say: We are willing to go it alone without your generousity so long as you all stay north of Mt. Vernon. Lets just call I64 our own little Mason-Dixon line. Because it sure seems there are more of you coming down here than us going up there. So let’s give this a shot and see who buckles first. Cuz as ol Hank Jr. said: “A country boy can survive”. So get the fuck out.

  34. @ Admin,Shunned and Moonrner

    Couldn’t have said it better myself….the ONLY thing I can add is that Blago was THEIR native son,not ours.He was brought up suckling at the Chicago machine’s teat and learned well.

    For anyone locally who wants to see Chicago transplants at the height of their stupidity,call me and I’ll take you out in my boat fishing and you can watch these dumb asses in full blown idiot mode…both on the water AND from their yards as they holler at guys fishing and tell them they are to close to “their” bank or dock…..I have actually seen two ass kickings over this type attitude so far this year (one at a boat ramp and the other IN the water) and it wasn’t the big bad “ChicaGONAD” that came out ahead either time.

    Don’t screw with folks who skin/grow their own food,cut and split their own wood etc etc etc….guys like us hurt ourselves more in a weekend by accident than a northerner could hurt us in a year on purpose. :((

  35. eileen ovaclosa

    @shunned…that’s the first time I’ve seen you kind of have “your fill”…I’m proud of you! @muleskinner…I heard about the Yankee who ran a goat through a deer check station. What might really “help” them out is a big serving of Morels…that they picked all on their own. :D

  36. eileen ovaclosa

    @dmin, don’t forget the subs. =(

  37. Hardluck Hannah

    @shunned & muleskinner…I gotta tell you both, I thoroughly enjoyed those two posts. I’ve only been to Chicago a limited number of times and that was way too much for me. The first thing I noticed was the odor and it was rank. I called this to the attention of the person with me, who lived there at the time, and she said she was used to it. I would NEVER get used to it.
    Guess I’m just a country girl at heart and that’s a good way to be as far as I’m concerned. I’ve noticed through the years that a lot of folks from southern Illinois have returned here to retire after living up north during their working years. Guess those folks wanted a breath of fresh air.

    @eileen…you slay me, gal…would you really let those poor ole Chicago dummies pick their own Morels? We both know what would happen if they did…don’t we? I love it. ;-)

  38. galcounty

    I can’t make it today. We are counting on you! Keep us updated!:)

  39. Hardluck Hannah

    I’d travel over there to watch the jury selection if I thought I could get in and get a seat. I think this trial will be a good one to watch…if one could.

  40. galcounty

    Channel 3 is quoting a couple of weeks for the trial. What is your take on that?

    • Good lord in heaven i HOPE NOT.

      I’ll get with our sources today and see what they think. We literally believe the jury is going to have it by this weekend, and may stay sequestered in order to deliver a verdict, according to what we’re reading in the file, but we’ve been BADLY wrong before on these federal cases.

      *facepalm* ‘Couple of weeks…’ Gah….we’ll NEVER get moved in at the farmhouse…. >.<

  41. Hardluck Hannah

    Will do…let me know if you should need me for anything…happy to help.

  42. galcounty

    Have you got to see the witness list yet?

  43. Nuthin yet…this is just jury selection…more later….

  44. coltsfan

    Sunday morning, a cup of old joe and just read all the Raymond articles one more time to get ready for tomorow. Did you ever find out what the thing filed on the 9th was about? Do you think old man Robinson will testify? WTH kind of threats was salinecounty talking about? wonder if there were more hits planned other than the potts boy and woods?
