There is something wrong with our justice system.
I am outraged that it is so easy for somebody to make their life’s work victimizing people and manipulating a judicial system for their own personal benefit. I don’t understand why finding loopholes and lying isn’t a crime.
A marginally intelligent, mentally ill, manipulative, lazy liar is making life difficult for me and the man I love. She has never held a job for any period of time. She has made her living by manipulating the courts and concocting crazy stories to sue her employers, boyfriends, landlords and anybody else that dares not just give her what she wants. She has threatened to kidnap people’s children, lived in basements without the knowledge of the home owner’s, brought false disability claims on nearly every employer she has had, and now she is going after us.
She is a drug addict (prescription only, of course) and an alcoholic. Her own sister won’t allow her near her children. She has a long history of mental illness, and her lies are well documented. She is accustomed to getting what she wants.
At first, she doesn’t seem particularly threatening. She’s skinny, soft spoken, articulate. Her crazy stories (she went to Vassar, she went to Princeton, she was the first person to get West Nile Virus, she has been a surrogate mother for millions of dollars, she worked for Price Waterhouse Cooper, she was the personal assistant to Ronald Reagan) seemed like she was just trying to get attention. She could be gently dismissed, as you would a child whose show and tell stories were a bit fantastical. She seemed fragile, and she seemed to need protecting.
What she really is doesn’t become apparent until you cross her. Then the calculated, greedy, vicious liar that she is attacks you. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants. She won’t give up, and will see her story through to the end.
She knew that she found a good victim. He is kind hearted, patient, trusting and was more than a little preoccupied with drugs. He comes from a wealthy family, and had nice things. She knew that she could have it all, and he wouldn’t deny her a thing. She never counted on him leaving her….
She had to formulate a plan fairly quickly. It took about 3 days. It was no accident that she had him arrested on the last day that they had a place to stay. He was leaving…and she couldn’t let him get away with her being broke. All she needed to say was that he hit her. That’s it. Those are the only words the system needed to hear. He was guilty. Now thousands of dollars later, he’s still trying to prove his innocence.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why hasn’t anybody questioned her past? Her lies? Her well documented false allegations and craziness? Why are we going through this a year later?
She found the magic key. Domestic Violence. Nobody wants to question a victim. If she says she was hit…that’s all that matters. Now she can reap the rewards. Permanent disability checks. Victim’s compensation funds. Civil suits. All the attention a crazy leech can get. She’s milking it dry.
Who does she hurt? Me. You. Everybody. Most importantly she is hurting the woman whose jaw was broken, whose clavicle was shattered, who can’t see or hear because of repeated blows to the head. Those women who need safe houses, who change their identity because their attacker was let out of an overcrowded prison, who wants nothing more than to control their every move, to find them again…and kill them.
Kim Kelly is weakening their safety. A safety net was built for them, by those of us that want to see them protected, and she is greedily taking what belongs to them, without any regard for their safety. She is selfish, and doesn’t care who she hurts on the way….as long as she never has to work again. She wants the taxpayers to pay for her pain medication that she eats by the wee fistful, and wants to cash in her foodstamps for marijuana. She needs a sugar daddy to house her, buy her clothes (or she can just wear his ex girlfriends…if the shoe fits, right?) and make late night runs to the store for laxatives to keep her bulimia in check.
She has hit a goldmine. This is so much better than the false sexual harassment claims at Enrico’s, or the disability claim she tried to wrangle (for Kidney Stones? please.) out of the same place. She even considered suing a landlord at a place she was squatting at? She is a parasite…and now there’s nothing we can do.
She wouldn’t have shown back up if there wasn’t something in it for her monetarily. That she has the guts to stand up in front of people who tried to help her, and lie through her teeth, makes me sick to my stomach. She has a sympathetic ear in the D.A’s office, who has made the mistake of not listening in the past and terrorized women died because of it. They can’t afford to not believe her. What if?
Since when did our justice system depend on "what if?" Are we going to now imprison people that just might have committed a crime? If that’s the case, why wouldn’t I just pick somebody I have an issue with, and finger them for every unsolved murder in San Francisco County? If I said so, it must be true, right? I am, after all, an articulate white woman, and if Kim Kelly is to be believed, so am I.
Why is she not being investigated? Why is she being allowed to bully the system into doing her bidding? WHY?
What has she done in the last year? Has she made a new life for herself with all the money the government gave her? Has she stopped doing drugs? Has she stopped lying? Has she? Can she? SHE should be prosecuted.
Instead he is being asked to "take the deal" because a jury trial would be far too expensive. If he takes the deal, she wins. She wins all the money coming to her. Her lies are justified. She can buy more speed and weed with the cash she’ll get, and when it runs out she’ll find somebody else to screw over.
The D.A’s office promised me that they would "get to the bottom of this." I was still naive enough to believe that meant "get the truth." I was terribly, terribly mistaken. This isn’t about truth, and it never was. If it was about truth, we wouldn’t have come this far. This is about politics. This is about lawyers. This isn’t about a lying, litigious, welfare milker who is trying to bilk her ex boyfriend out of money. This is about appearances.
For all my outrage I am glad for one thing…because of this a good friend has become the love of my life. In him I have found the most courageous, intelligent, kind and patient person I have ever met. Because of this he has turned a page in his life, and we are healthy and happy. This parasite is the last bit of the old unhealthy life that remains, and when she is finally out of our lives…all will be new again.
