State Expert Psychologists Flip Over Perrot — Recommend His Release

State Expert Psychologists Flip Over Perrot
Recommend His Release

There has been much going on. I can tell you some of it but there are other things I cannot yet disclose because I do not want to tip my hand. Here is part of what I can disclose.

Both of the State's original Multidisciplinary Team psychologists who initially evaluated me have now changed their opinions and have recommended my release.

In 2012 I was evaluated by two Florida Department of Children and Families Multidisciplinary Team member psychologists, Dr. Karen Parker and Dr. Amy Swan. Dr. Parker is a former Director of the DCF Sexually Violent Predator Program. Dr. Swan formerly worked at the Florida Civil Commitment Center treating sex offenders. Both Dr. Swan and Dr. Parker have had decades of education, training, and experience evaluating and treating individuals convicted of committing a sex offense. Both have now determined that I am not a sexually violent predator, both have determined that I do not meet criteria for commitment, and both have recommended my release.

In November, 2022, Assistant State Attorney Kendall Davidson directed Dr. Parker to re-evaluate me because her previous evaluation was stale. ASA Davidson never advised Dr. Parker about the book I am writing, Stratagems of the Devil: How Florida Prosecutors Created and Used Some of the Most Dangerous MeToo False Accusers in the World. Davidson also failed to inform Dr. Parker about my website promoting that book, www.garyperrot.com. I, however, did.

No doubt the results of Dr. Parker's evaluation shocked Davidson.

In December, 2022, I received a notice titled “Additional Discovery” from ASA Davidson. Davidson was notifying me that he was removing Dr. Parker from the State's witness list. Davidson was also notifying me that he was “withholding” from me the 2022 evaluation report compiled by Dr. Parker.

Not to be dissuaded, I filed a motion to compel discovery from the State. The motion was heard on April 28, 2023 before Judge Aaron Hubbard.

Judge Hubbard stated during the hearing that he did not have a problem with me obtaining a copy of the report directly from Dr. Parker as Judge Hubbard did not consider the report to be confidential as Davidson did not file it with the court as a confidential document. ASA Davidson did not look happy about that.

Attorney Jeanine Cohen, my standby counsel, was also present at the hearing via Zoom and heard Judge Hubbard's comment. Cohen immediately picked up the phone and called Dr. Parker so Dr. Parker could hear what was taking place in court. By the conclusion of the hearing I had a copy of Dr. Parker's report.

 

The report revealed that Dr. Parker changed her opinion. Dr. Parker determined that I am not a sexually violent predator. Dr. Parker determined “that Mr. Perrot does not suffer from a mental abnormality or personality disorder that would make him likely to engage in acts of sexual violence if not confined in a secure facility for long-term control, care and treatment." (Emphasis in original). I then filed a copy of the report with the clerk of court, claiming the report to be confidential. I also named Dr. Parker as one of my expert witnesses.

ASA Davidson has announced numerous times in open court that he was not going to use Dr. Swan any further in my case. The reason was because Davidson reportedly became upset at Dr. Swan because she recommended someone else's release in another case unrelated to mine. Not using Dr. Swan is Davidson's way of punishing her and being vindictive.

In March, 2024, I finally received written confirmation from Davidson that the State was no longer going to use Dr. Swan as a witness. I then immediately hired Dr. Swan to re-evaluate me.

Dr. Swan met with me via Zoom on April 19, 2024. During the meeting I informed Dr. Swan about my book and website. At the conclusion of the meeting Dr. Swan informed me that her written report and recommendation would be forthcoming.

On June 13, 2024, Dr. Swan issued her written report. The report revealed that Dr. Swan changed her opinion and determined that I am not a sexually violent predator. Dr. Swan stated, “it is this examiner's opinion that Gary Perrot DOES NOT SATISFY CRITERIA for civil commitment as a sexually violent predator.” (Emphasis in original). I have filed a copy of Dr. Swan's report as a confidential document with the court and supplied ASA Kendall Davidson with a copy.

I have talked with a number of DCF multidisciplinary evaluators. They agree that Davidson should now voluntarily dismiss the State's Petition. Unfortunately Davidson does not agree. He is still pursuing my commitment. He hired a psychiatrist to evaluate me. The psychiatrist is a gunslinger for the State in death penalty cases. I mentioned that the State hired her elsewhere on this website. No doubt she will somehow determine that I meet criteria for commitment.

The dirty, crooked and corrupt acts of Assistant State Attorney Kendall Davidson and the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office never cease to amaze me. But what amazes me even more is the fact that Davidson does not even believe his own experts (Drs. Parker and Swan) when they change their opinion! He only likes them when they support what he wants them to do.

At this point it is very clear that Davidson is being vindictive and is seeking retribution because I was able to give back the four natural life sentences that his Office begged the judge to impose on me back in 1996 after I was convicted.

I will keep you advised.

Stratagems of the Devil: How Florida Prosecutors Created and Used Some of the Most Dangerous MeToo False Accusers in the World

By

Gary L. Perrot

New Documents Received

New Documents Received

When I make a request for or subpoena documents I phrase the request in such a way that it produces any and all documents related to the life of the witness and their friends and relatives, incident or event. This could be for criminal records; police reports; investigative reports, narratives, mental impressions and final outcomes; driver's license applications and histories; property records; vehicle records; voter registrations; employment, social media sites and posts and etc. These types of requests produce all sorts of documents including documents that are not even related to me but are related to things the State's witnesses have done throughout their lives and the lives of their friends and relatives by themselves and with other people. This then leads to speaking with witnesses and requests for yet more documents.

While it is fairly easy for me to do an investigation (by myself and with an investigator) because I know what the witnesses are lying about, it takes time to do so as one document or witness will lead to another that has to be investigated and followed up on. This process repeats again and again as the investigation gets wider and wider, producing more witnesses who may have seen, heard or know something and more documents that contain more nuggets of information, some relevant to the case and some not. All are embarrassing to the witnesses and will be included in the book, Stratagems of the Devil.

My investigation was slowed during the last two plus years because of the pandemic, as some businesses, departments and agencies were closed or short-staffed. This caused a large backlog of requests for information and documents made by me and other people to these entities. I am now just getting responses to some of my requests that were made over three years ago.

A group of new documents that I recently received is going to be devastating to some of the State’s witnesses and the State’s case. I cannot go into details about these documents because I do not want to spill the beans to the State or its witnesses as to what the documents are, what they disclose or how they impact the witnesses even though I need to furnish some of them to the State Attorney.

The investigation continues, deepens, and gets more interesting as it produces yet more embarrassing information on some of these witnesses.

The State Attorney and his witnesses will eventually come to realize that I have opened a can of worms that they are going to wish was better off left closed.

Corrupt State Attorney Hinders Efforts to Depose Witnesses

Corrupt State Attorney Hinders Efforts to Depose Witnesses

Bruce Bartlett, the corrupt State Attorney from Pinellas and Pasco County, Florida, through his Assistant State Attorney, Kendall Davidson, interfered with the proper administration of justice when Bartlett, through Davidson, repeatedly instructed Juanita Meek, now known as Juanita Sellars, not answer questions I posed to her during Meek’s most recent deposition.

The law is quite clear regarding attorney conduct pertaining to depositions.

 

In Smith v. Gardy, 569 So.2d 504 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990), the appellate court specifically stated that attorneys may not instruct witnesses not to answer questions in a deposition and to do so is without legal justification. The appellate court went on to state that “[n]owhere in the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure is there a provision that states that an attorney may instruct a witness not to answer a question.”

 

There is also no provision in the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure pertaining to witnesses either. The sole exception is for a criminal suspect or defendant. A suspect or defendant has a constitutional right not to answer questions which may incriminate him or her.

 

My civil commitment case is considered to be a civil action, instigated by the State Attorney. It is therefore not surprising that the State Attorney would do everything possible to hinder my ability to represent myself which, interestingly enough, also covers up his illegal unethical, dirty, crooked and corrupt acts and actions.

 

In the Smith case the appellate court noted that the conduct by the attorney in instructing the witness not to answer was “arrogant.” The word arrogant is an adjective which means “- having or showing feelings of unwarranted importance out of overbearing pride.” It also means acting like an asshole, although an appellate court would not use such language.

I am not so constrained.

 

In spite of the clear law regarding this subject, during the deposition I did on Juanita Meek ASA Davidson repeatedly, and without lawful authority, instructed Meek not to answer my questions. Davidson’s conduct was no less arrogant than that set forth in Smith and is an example of Davidson being a typical, complete and total asshole. When Kendall Davidson failed to instruct Meek not to answer a question that Meek or Davidson did not like, Meek followed Davidson’s lead and decided to take it upon herself and refused to answer the question on her own. When Meek did this Davidson just smiled.

 

But Kendall Davidson being an asshole did not stop there.

 

When I deposed Elizabeth George/Baker, Cathy Bearshak and Michelle Habart, Davidson also instructed them not to answer certain questions of mine. One question posed to Baker, in particular, was if Baker ever tried to commit suicide, and subsequent planned questions of when, how many times, where and why. Davidson instructed Baker not to answer.

 

Asshole.

 

In the case of Elizabeth George/Baker, Baker picked up on Davidson’s circus antics and started objecting to questions and refusing to answer herself, not even waiting for Davidson to lodge an objection and instruct Baker not to answer.

 

Being an asshole must be contagious.

 

I deposed and questioned a witness who testified, under oath, that her name was “Cathy Bearshak.” I subsequently deposed Michelle Habart. When I questioned Michelle Habart as to the name of Cathy Bearshak, Habart responded that Bearshak was not Cathy’s last name. Perplexed, I asked Habart what Cathy’s last name was. ASA Kendall Davidson jumped up and told Habart not to answer. This was very interesting. It meant that Davidson knew at the time I deposed Cathy that Cathy’s last name was not Bearshak and that Davidson knew Cathy was lying under oath and committing perjury when she said that it was. Clearly Cathy Bearshak (or whatever her name is) conspired with Davidson to present false testimony and hide relevant facts, such as her legal name.

 

Double asshole.

 

What is Davidson trying to hide pertaining to Cathy’s name? What doesn’t Davidson (and Cathy Bearshak) want me to find out?

 

The proper procedure, assuming there is an objection to a question, is for the witness to answer the question and if an objection needs to be lodged then Davidson files a motion in limine prior to trial to keep that evidence out of trial. Davidson, being the unprofessional asshole that he is, simply refuses to play fair and comply with the law, no doubt on instructions from State Attorney Bruce Bartlett.

 

I have to go before Judge Paul Levine and get an order instructing the witnesses to answer my questions. While there, I might ask for another order instructing Davidson to stop being an asshole.

 

Kendall Davidson’s conduct not only violated Florida law; it also violated the Florida Bar Rules pertaining to attorney conduct.

 

This is just another clear instance which shows that the State Attorney’s Office for Pasco and Pinellas County, Florida is dirty, crooked and corrupt and is interfering with my ability to defend himself. Apparently, you also have to be a First Class Asshole to work for Bruce Bartlett and the Office of the State Attorney.

 

Considering that suspects/defendants have a constitutional right not to incriminate themselves and refuse to answer questions, was Davidson afraid that his witnesses may incriminate themselves in criminal conduct - such as conspiracy to commit perjury with the State Attorney or some other criminal offense involving the State Attorney’s Office? Was Davidson afraid that their answers would reveal more of the dirty, crooked and corrupt things that took place during my criminal proceedings and that are taking place during my civil commitment proceedings? Was the witnesses’ refusal to answer the questions I posed to them indicative that they were aware that they engaged in some type of criminal conduct that they wanted to keep covered up and not want to incriminate themselves over? Remember, only those involved in criminal conduct have a right to remain silent.

 

What are they afraid of?

 

It makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Juanita Meek-Sellars Reveals State Attorney's Reason For Attempting to Civilly Commit Mr. Perrot

August 10, 2018: Deposition of Juanita Meek (aka Juanita Sellars)

In addition to what I have set forth in the "Introduction" to Stratagems of the Devil, on August 10, 2018, I deposed Juanita Meek, who is now known as Juanita Sellars, of Bradenton, Florida via Skype. In that deposition Meek stated that just the day before the deposition she had contact with my third ex-wife, Elizabeth George, who now goes by the name of Elizabeth Baker, of Thorofare, West Deptford, New Jersey. (Remember, both Meek and George were witnesses against me in my criminal trial. Click the button labeled "Introduction" and read for further information).

I asked Meek in that 2018 Skype deposition what that contact consisted of.

Meek responded that she told ·Beth that she met with Assistant State Attorney Kendall Davidson to "just discuss how [Ms. Meek] was doing." I didn't believe that for a minute.

I then asked Ms. Meek when the contact with Elizabeth George took place to which Ms. Meek answered, "Afterwards." That meant Meek contacted George directly after Meek spoke to ASA Davidson.

Interesting.

I asked Ms. Meek what the conversation with Kendall Davidson consisted of. Meek responded, "Just what's coming. What's happening now."

Yeah, sure it did. In a pig's eye. Juanita Meek was lying. Again.

Something wasn't sitting well with me regarding what those conversations had consisted of. Meek was being evasive in her answers so I asked her, "What specifically did you talk to Elizabeth about?"

Juanita Meek answered, "I don't want to talk to you about what my conversations are."

Ah. Bingo!

I pressed on, telling Juanita Meek she had to answer the questions, as Kendall Davidson sat there all puckered up, like a bout with diarrhea was about to break through his asshole before he could get to a bathroom.

Meek squirmed in her chair and finally blurted out, "Okay. We talked about what a psychopath you are. We talked about what an evil person you are."

Interesting. This conversation between Meek and George took place just after the conversation between ASA Davidson and Juanita Meek.

I asked again, "Specifically, what did you talk about?" Meek answered, ''Things in that vein."

This was worse than pulling teeth. Meek was clearly trying to evade answering and was trying to change the line of questioning. I pressed on.

I asked again, "Specifically, what did you talk about?" Juanita Meek answered, "I don't recall verbatim."

Apparently Ms. Meek was experiencing memory problems as to what occurred just the day before. Could it be Alzheimer's?

I changed tactics, and changed the subject, asking Ms. Meek, "When you talked to Kendall Davidson yesterday, or at any time prior to yesterday, did you talk about putting me away?"

Meek answered, "Did I talk about what?"

There was surprise in Meek's voice. She clearly wasn't expecting the abrupt change.

I asked again, "Putting me away. Putting Mr. Perrot away?"

Meek, in her typical attempts to avoid a straight answer, stated, "You already are away."

I told Meek that was not an answer to the question and asked nicely, "Please answer the question."

Meek, wanting time to think of an answer, or maybe she was experiencing memory problems again, or maybe she wanted Kendall Davidson to jump up and object to my line of questioning, asked me to repeat the question again. So I did: "When you talked to Kendall, or anyone else from the State Attorney's Office here, did you talk about putting me away?"

My line of questioning was to see if Kendall Davidson had attempted to influence the testimony of Juanita Meek or Elizabeth George.

Juanita Meek, once again, in her typical fashion to avoid a direct answer stated, "I think more correctly would be keeping you put away."

If she was trying to be a smartass it did not work. The problem with her answer was it just let the cat out of the bag and I knew then that Kendall Davidson had spoken with Meek and attempted to influence, if not her testimony then certainly her involvement in the case against me. And the most telling, and chilling, part of that answer was Juanita Meek's statement, "keeping you put away." Clearly Bruce Bartlett the State Attorney, and Kendall Davidson his Assistant State Attorney, wanted to use civil commitment as punishment to put me away for the rest of my life, something the State Attorney could not do through criminal sentencing. (Click and read the Introduction for further details). But civil commitment is not supposed to be used for punishment, its use is supposed to be solely for treatment until the mental abnormality or personality disorder has so changed that it is safe to be released. Yet Bartlett and Davidson are using it, not for treatment but for further punishment! Like I have been saying they are dirty, crooked and corrupt!

I then asked Ms. Meek, "All right. Did you talk about that?"

Ms. Meek, still trying to avoid a direct, affirmative answer stated, . "Possibly."

Possibly? Was Juanita Meek stupid? Did she really think I wouldn't jump on that answer like a bulldog going after a dog bone?

I pounced. "What did you talk about [with Kendall Davidson]?" I asked.

Juanita Meek answered, "The fact that you need to be - that you will hurt people. That you hurt people."

Bruce Bartlett and Kendall Davidson are very clearly seeking further punishment.

I asked, "Who did I hurt?"

Juanita Meek answered, "Destroy lives."

Ah, she said "lives," a plural answer. That was interesting.

I asked, "Who did I hurt? Specifically who did you talk about I hurt?"

Meek answered with one word, "Me." But me was not a plural so I pressed on asking, "And who else?"

Meek again answered with just one word, "Beth."

Ah, Beth, my ex-wife. Apparently Juanita Meek and Elizabeth George have been thick as thieves. Lying thick as thieves. Perjuring co-defendants to the end. So I asked, "Who else?"

Juanita Meek answered, "I don't recall."

Meek was having memory problems, again, related to the conversations she had just the day before. Time to get specific. Maybe I could jog her memory, or what was left of it.

I asked, "Did you talk [to Kendall Davidson] about keeping me off the streets?"

Meek answered, "I don't recall."

Back to the memory problems. But this memory problem was interesting since Juanita Meek had, just moments ago, stated at least in part, what she and Kendall Davidson had talked about. Remember Meek just said, "I think more correctly would be keeping you put away." The further punishment conversation, "keeping you put away."

Time to change course, shake things up a bit. I asked, "What about your conversation with Elizabeth, did you talk about putting me away, or keeping me off the streets with her?"

Juanita Meek answered, "Possibly."

What kind of an answer is possibly? I needed to find out so I asked, "Are you not sure that you did or do you want to evade the question?"

Meek answered, "Yeah, repeat the question." So I did to which Juanita Meek responded, "Yes."

I then asked, "What were the specifics of the conversation [between you and Elizabeth]?"

Meek answered, "That's what's needed, that's where you need to be so that you don't hurt other people."

Interesting answer. Everyone is talking about further punishment.

Clearly Meek and George also consider themselves to be MeToo advocates. It's too bad that they are really MeToo liars and false accusers.

I asked Meek what her conversations with Elizabeth consisted of at other times when she spoke to Elizabeth.

Meek answered, "I don't recall."

Memory problems again. I told her, "Why don't you take a minute and think about it."

After sitting in silence for a while, squirming like a worm on the end of a fishing hook, Meek answered, "Conversations about you."

No kidding!

I said to Ms. Meek, "Continue, I'm listening." Meek responded, "I don't recall."

Perhaps Ms. Meek's advanced age is bringing with it a certain amount of selective dementia. One minute she knew what was talked about, the next minute she did not.

I was tired of playing Juanita Meek's game and I discontinued the line of questioning. Clearly she was covering something up, no doubt more to do with ASA Kendall Davidson and the State Attorney's attempts to influence herself and Elizabeth George and their attempts at further punishment and to put me away for the rest of my life through the scam of civil commitment. Now I understand more fully why the need for a hired gun psychiatrist for the State.

Should Meek have a miraculous recovery of her memory at trial Juanita Meek would be in for one hellava surprise.

One thing was clear from that line of questioning though. Assistant State Attorney Kendall Davidson had talked with Juanita Meek and tried to influence her into participating in this civil commitment trial, tried to get her to participate by telling her how dangerous he thought I was and how I needed to be put away, and tried to influence her testimony. Juanita Meek then contacted Elizabeth George and briefed her on what Kendall Davidson had said. No doubt something that Davidson wanted Meek to do.

Sound familiar?

It's the same thing that happened in my criminal trial. Click the button labeled "Introduction" and read that to see what I mean.

One thing appeared certain: Juanita Meek clearly did not want to divulge the details of those conversations she had with ASA Kendall Davidson, and with Elizabeth George my ex-wife and Meek's fellow false accuser, probably on the instructions of ASA Kendall Davidson. It was obviously a cover up. An attempt to thwart my efforts at discovery. A blatant attempt by Kendall Davidson and the State Attorney's Office to hinder the proper administration of justice.

But why?

The answer was dear: They were using the civil commitment proceedings to try and put me away for the rest of my life.

Chickenshit bastards!

Under Investigation

The State Attorney was livid by my blog and contacted the facility wanting to know how I was able to have access to the Internet from inside the facility.  As a result, the facility put me in confinement under investigation, and confiscated all my property, including my legal work.

September 29, 2021: Court Hearing

 I had a court hearing today.  Assistant State Attorney Kendall Davidson announced that in January 2022 he was going to take six months off so that he could participate in the "drop program."

Apparently Davidson is going to retire and he must take that time off before he can come back to work and get paid for working while, at the same time, collecting his retirement benefits from being an assistant state attorney. It will be interesting to see who the next corrupt assistant state attorney will be to take his place.

Personally I think that corrupt assistant state attorneys, such as Kendall Davidson, need to be fired and not given their retirement and then allowed to return to work while, at the same time, collecting those retirement benefits so they can continue in their corrupt ways. I feel sorry for the residents of Pinellas County, Florida who have to foot the bill for those retirement benefits and continue to pay the salary for a corrupt prosecutor.

Here is another interesting tidbit of information that I learned during that hearing.

I was initially evaluated by two psychologists for the State: Dr. Amy Swan and Dr. Karen Parker.

Amy Swan also evaluated another FCCC inmate years ago and he was committed. Committed FCCC inmates are entitled to an annual review to determine if they are safe to be released. In the past year or so Dr. Swan revaluated this inmate and changed her opinion, determining he was safe to be released.

Subsequently, this FCCC inmate was released by the same judge (Judge Paul Levine) that I have.

Now here is the kicker: Dr. Swan, changing her opinion in that other case, so upset and pissed off Bruce Bartlett, the State Attorney, and ASA Davidson that on September·29, 2021 Davidson announced in open court that he· is no longer using · Amy Swan as an expert, and will not be using her as an expert against me. ASA Davidson is now searching for another expert to replace Dr. Swan and who will do his bidding his way without question. This new hired gun will now have to evaluate me in order to take Dr. Swan's place in my case.

I believe that Dr. Swan would have reversed her opinion concerning me because of my age and medical issues. Thus, I believe, the reason Davidson has decided not to use her further in my case.

What more proof does a person need before they believe that Bartlett and Davidson are corrupt and are not interested in following the law unless it suits them?
