Jessica Price is the sister of Jeffery Price. Jeffery Price was either the dealer or instigator of every marijuana deal alleged by the ABC to have been transacted at RnR (see allegations set forth in ABC “Report of License Violation,” incident # 200407200010, approved September 17, 2004). The ABC, in the same “Report,” identifies only one individual as ever buying drugs at RnR and that is the undercover Prince William County detective. Jessica Price’s testimony, therefore, as to whether Jeffery Price was working with the police to set up drug deals at RnR, i.e., whether or not those “deals” were in effect one state actor working with another state actor in order to fabricate evidence, should be critical (although not hardly the only evidence, e.g., the Chris Price statement) with respect to any objective determination about what really transpired at RnR. Accordingly I submit the following with respect to Jessica’s statement as affected by her sworn testimony at the ABC hearing.

Jessica never had the statement published in this post notarized. However, Jessica appeared before the ABC Hearing Officer, Clara A.Williams (CAW), on the second day of the hearing, i.e., August 26, 2005. Jessica was sworn in by the Hearing Officer. Her statement was marked Exhibit 14 by the Hearing Officer (see lower right hand corner of the exhibit posted above). She was then examined, under oath, as follows:

By Neil Ruttenberg:

Q. Would you read through this and identify it and tell the judge whether or not that’s your statement.

A. Yes, this is my statement.

By the Hearing Officer:

Are the contents true and correct?

The Witness:

Yes, ma’am.

(Transcript, Day 2, p. 210, lines 1-8). Accordingly, Greg is correct when he states that Jessica’s statement was a “sworn statement.”

The ABC transcript (which is a public document available to all - as is the above referenced ABC “Report”) is replete with sworn testimony by Jessica about her brother’s deals with the Manassas Park police and the Narcotics Task Force. I don’t intend to comment further on that testimony. It speaks for itself and I will leave that to Greg at his discretion. He’s done pretty well so far.

RACK AND ROLL - ABC TESTIMONY, DAY 1
TRANSCRIPTED EXCERPT
Page 199, Lines 20 through 25: Questions by Mr. Harrington, answers by Detective Lugo.

Q And neither — Tom Kifer,then, ….was not a paid informant? That’s correct?
A No, sir.
Q Was that correct, yes?
A Yeah - I mean he wasn’t a paid
informant. Yeah.

END OF EXCERPT

Detective Lugo, your statement can do only one thing…mislead the hearing officer. Whatever your deal with him was, be it sentence reduction or money, Kifer did it in exchange for personal gain. You may think this is an exercise in semantics. I call it a lie. One of many that BVBL will soon expose. You dishonor your profession.
