Demarkco Johnson (“Johnson”), appealed his convictions and claims the following errors: 1 The trial court abused its discretion in denying appellant’s request for a jury instruction on entrapment. 2 The trial court erred in failing to admonish and/or instruct the witness to stop answering questions with a legal conclusion after defense counsel had objected. 3 Appellant’s convictions are against the manifest weight of the evidence; therefore, his convictions are in violation of the Ohio state constitution and the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. In State Of Ohio v. Demarkco Johnson, 2024-Ohio-5098, No. 113591, Court of Appeals of Ohio, Eighth District, Cuyahoga (October 24, 2024) resolved the issues on appeal. FACTS Defendants were charged with two counts of conspiracy, three counts of bribery, eight counts of forgery, one count of insurance fraud, one count of identity fraud, and one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. They engaged in a pattern of corrupt activity charge included a clause alleging that at least one of the incidents of corrupt activity was a felony of the third degree or higher. At trial George Michael Riley, Sr. (“Riley”), testified that he became a confidential source for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), which was investigating corruption in the East Cleveland Police Department. Special Agent Shaun Roth (“Roth”), an agent with the FBI working with the Cleveland Metropolitan Anti-Corruption Task Force, testified that the FBI executed a search warrant for one of Riley’s properties. Harris’s services included running Riley’s name in police databases to check for warrants and blocking off city roads so Riley could move his demolition equipment throughout the city. Two of Riley’s trucks were stolen from his business in East Cleveland. Riley told his contacts at the FBI, and FBI officials instructed him to file a police report with the East Cleveland police just as any other victim would do. Riley cooperated with the FBI. After hearing the evidence, the jury found Johnson guilty of two counts of bribery, as alleged in Counts 5 and 10 of the indictment. The jury acquitted him of all other charges. The court sentenced Johnson to 12 months in prison on both counts and ordered that the two prison terms be served concurrently. Johnson appealed the trial court’s judgment. Law and Analysis - Entrapment Instruction In the first assignment of error, Johnson argues the trial court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on the defense of entrapment. Entrapment is a ‘confession and avoidance’ defense in which the defendant admits committing the acts charged but claims that the criminal design arose with the state’s agent. There is no entrapment when government officials merely afford opportunities or facilities for the commission of the offense to a criminal defendant who was predisposed to commit the offense. The video evidence showed Johnson handing Riley reports in exchange for money on multiple occasions. Johnson’s conduct demonstrated a ready acquiescence to the inducements offered by the government’s confidential source and a willingness to become involved in criminal activity in exchange for money. The evidence showed that Johnson not only had expert knowledge as to how to create the police reports in a way that could go undetected, but he also had access to the blank police forms that made the concealment of the reports possible. The Court of Appeals found that evidence did not support an entrapment defense. Testimony Pertaining to Bribery In the second assignment of error, Johnson argues the trial court erred by refusing to instruct Roth to refrain from using the word “bribe” or “bribery payment” in response to questions that were not specifically related to bribe payments. Even if Roth had avoided the words “bribe” or “bribery payment,” the outcome of the trial would not have been any different. The overwhelming evidence established that Johnson helped create fake police reports in exchange for money. Manifest Weight of the Evidence Johnson argued his convictions were against the manifest weight of the evidence. The Court of Appeals noted that Johnson’s convictions were not dependent on his knowledge of any insurance scheme or Harris’s separate dealings with Riley. His convictions were based solely on his position as a police officer in the East Cleveland Police Department and his acceptance of cash in exchange for police reports. Video evidence showed Johnson accepting cash from Riley in exchange for the reports on at least two occasions. And, despite Johnson’s argument to the contrary, Johnson played along when Harris introduced him to Riley as Nevels. CONCLUSION The Court of Appeals ordered that a special mandate issue out of the court directing the common pleas court to carry this judgment into execution. The defendant’s conviction having been affirmed, any bail pending appeal is terminated. Case remanded to the trial court for execution of sentence. ZALMA OPINION There can be no excuse for a police officer to sell information to an insurance criminal to ease the ability of the crime to succeed. Officer Johnson tried multiple arguments to set aside his conviction even though the evidence against him was overwhelming. The Court of Appeals disposed of his arguments quickly and intelligently. Fraud is a crime. Insurance fraud is a crime. Helping the criminal avoid prosecution is also a crime and establishes the officer had given up his honor for cash.

⭐WTF?! COP'S GUN GOES OFF BY ITSELF IN POLICE STATION DURING ARREST Brian, I hear you asking "WHY would #Police leave a "drug lock box" unsecured inside of a #Police station?" and it sounds as if you are surprised by this behavior! Like everyone else in America, we oftentimes look at these things from the perspective that "No sane person would do this KNOWING that people could just grab drugs from the box." But that is our mistake.... Police WANT you to grab the drugs, that is the entire reason the box is unsecured! It's basically an "entrapment" situation. Granted, you should not take things that are not yours.... But you should also not invite people to steal your sh*t either! It's kinda like saying politicians are "stupid" when they do crazy shit... But you are looking at it from a point of view that they are "Trying to help the country." NO, politicians are NOT stupid! They want you to THINK they are stupid, but in reality their mission is to destroy the country. And when you look at it through those eyes, you see just how clever they are! Police are no different! These are #Criminals who are at war with Americans, and are operating unlawfully under "Maritime Admiralty Law" You must understand that ALL of these people calling themselves "government" must realize at some point, that what they are doing is wrong, immoral, and violates the human rights of people.... And the smart ones may even figure out they are operating UNLAWFULLY under "Maritime Admiralty Law" while being on the LAND BUT THEY DON'T CARE! And that is because what "government" really amounts to is the world's largest#OrganizedCrime ring! And they f*cking KNOW IT! They KNOW they will never be held accountable because the Judges and Prosecutors and the #Courts altogether are just as #Criminal as they are, and they KNOW they'll be protected! And that's cuz "It's a big club, and YOU ain't in it!" https://old.bitchute.com/video/FHLwdu-NzmI/

TRAITOR MIKE PENCE, ENTRAPMENT! “On the day of Jan. 6, I issued a tweet demanding that people leave the Capitol and end the violence,” Pence said at a CNN town hall in Des Moines, Iowa. “I said that those that failed to do that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and I continue to believe that today.” https://rumble.com/v10o9g5-incredible-must-watch-video-of-capitol-police-allowing-protesters-to-enter-.html
