In part 2 of Stalker vs Stalked, Dan, Ann, and Anonymous have a discussion with Marcus, who was arrested and jailed for stalking...his wife.

After being with his wife for 8 years, Marcus caught his her cheating on him. Marcus had a feeling that something was going on when his wife started acting strange. After his wife went missing one night, Marcus and his cousins tracked her down at a seedy motel with the guy she was cheating with. Marcus attempted to get her to leave the hotel and come home, which didn’t happen. She decided to stay with her side piece that night. Marcus, for the sake of his kids, decided to stay and try to work it out... until he caught her with the same guy again. Marcus confronted the side piece in an attempt to reason with him. Marcus informed the side piece that his wife was married and asked that he put some RESPEK on their marriage. The side piece notified Marcus’ wife that Marcus had contacted him and she called Marcus in a rage which led to a huge argument. Things were said.

After the argument, Marcus felt bad for some of the things he said and wanted to apologize. Since his wife stopped coming home during this time, he went to the bar that she worked at in an attempt to reconcile but was met with hostility and asked to leave. He was under the impression that it was because she didn’t want to make a scene in front of the bar patrons and her coworkers so he left. Marcus decided to come back after she got off in order to apologize for his language and have a discussion about where they go from there. When he returned Marcus approached his wife to talk outside of the bar. His wife called the police as Marcus approached and said she felt threatened, so Marcus left. Days later his wife called him to tell him that there may be a warrant for his arrest, but she didn't want to press any charges. Needless to say, Marcus was arrested and held on a $25k bond for stalking, held in jail for a week and placed on house arrest with a no-contact order for another week. Eventually, the charges were dropped. Marcus continued to try and work it out with his wife even after all of this... until she moved her side piece into Marcus' home (where he wasn't staying at the time).

Marcus also shares his experience with being arrested for the first time, and his first time in jail.

Listen to Marcus share his story in only a way that he can.

This week in part 1 of Stalker vs. Stalked, Ann, Dan, and Anonymous have a discussion with our guest Nicole who is a stalking victim. Next week in part two we have a discussion with Marcus who was arrested and jailed for allegedly stalking... his wife.

Nicole has been a victim of stalking twice, once by a woman and once by a man. Unfortunately we weren't able to publish the first incident we spoke about because of technical difficulties with the audio but we will recap it here:

Nicole started receiving phone calls from a random phone number at odd hours. When she would answer the caller seemed like a salesperson... at first. The caller would ask if Nicole was interested in purchasing a security system or other services, all of which Nicole would decline. The calls kept coming in and Nicole got the feeling that these calls were more sinister than they appeared. After a visit to the police station the calls were traced back to a residential VOIP service that the caller tried to use to mask their identity. After further investigation the caller was identified as a registered nurse who was the significant other of a man that was dating Nicole. The woman followed Nicole to various places including on dates with the guy that was cheating on said stalker (Nicole was unaware of any cheating). She also stalked Nicole in her neighborhood, applied for a position at Nicole's company, and continued calling. The stalker then went to the police station to report that Nicole was actually the one stalking her and reported that she was afraid for her children's lives. The outcome of this case was that the woman that was stalking Nicole lost her nursing license, has a permanent restraining order, and is forced to pay Nicole restitution.

In the second instance Nicole worked for a large company in a male dominated industry as an independent contractor. There she met a man who was in charge of recruiting permanent employees for the company. He offered to help get her promoted to a permanent position, for what she thought was her quality of work, and her work ethic. He asked for her phone number under the guise of it being for employment purposes and Nicole saw no problem with this request given the circumstances. Things started getting weird when he would call Nicole often and not for work related reasons. Nicole gave the hiring manager the benefit of the doubt, possibly thinking that he just wanted to stay in touch during the hiring process. One night Nicole went out to have a good time with friends and the hiring manager called her repeatedly, over and over and over. When he didn't get an answer he decided to go to Nicole's house and wait in her driveway until she returned home from her night out. On her way home, Nicole listened to the voicemail messages that the hiring manager left, which ranged from name calling and threatening to vulgar and sexual in nature. To her surprise, when she got home there he was was, the hiring manager who had left these threatening and vulgar messages, in her driveway. As she jumped out of her vehicle to confront him, she grabbed the first thing that she saw that could be used as a weapon to defend herself. He began to tell her about the relationship that he had constructed, in his mind at least. He kept asking "why are you doing this to me? You know I love you!" After chasing him off, she reported the crime to the police and to the human resources department at the company. After he was reported to HR he was immediately fired and 6 other women came forward with the same allegations. Out of the 7 women, they were offered jobs at the company as a part of a settlement. Nicole and one other woman did not settle for a job opportunity at the company but 5 others did.

This week Dan, Ann, and Anonymous discuss public defenders and whether or not they're actually good lawyers. Dan describes his interactions with one of his public defenders as a juvenile delinquent and theorizes that the caseloads of public defenders make them ineffective at their jobs. Ann argues that public defenders are just as capable as private attorneys and also explains who can and cannot benefit from a public defender. We also discuss how young black males have their bad behavior criminalized and aren't afforded the same opportunities as their white counterparts (such as diversionary programs or therapy).

This week Dan, Ann, and Anonymous are joined by special guest, retired Fairfax County (Virginia) Firefighter Paul Smith. Though officially retired, Paul was wrongfully terminated after disclosing his work-related disability to the FCFD. His case has been thoroughly documented and offers a unique look into ADA violations, discrimination, attorney malpractice, malfeasance, numerous other law violations, and how the judicial system railroads minorities.

Paul was fired for having PTSD, denied his service connected disability, drained of all of his financial resources and ended up homeless with 3 children (at the time) to provide for. He shares his story with us about how the legal system and IAFF failed him and other minorities in the Fairfax County Fire Department. Find out more about the brotherhood that allowed one of their own to become destitute by listening to and sharing Paul's story.
