Polk County Iowa Attorney...Guilty...but still hard at work!

Joseph Crisp...back to work!

A little tidbit via the Des Moines Register...the very paper who libeled me to DEATH before the jury went into deliberations in my case, may just be getting the picture about John P. Sarcone's corrupt offices....FINALLY.  Thank you for your contribution.  Your timing?  Could NOT have been MORE perfect, tankyooberrymutts.

To those not savvy enough to pick out the true news in articles like this these days, have no fear...I'm here to assist you, per usual.

Please note, first of all, that this man ACTUALLY, with absolute proof, physically abused his child.  Does he still have possession of his child?  Darn tootin.  GuarAAANTEED he does.  Will he lose possession of him?  More than likely not.  Does he still have a job working for John P.?  Why wouldn't he?  This is one of his own...evidently one of his more successful own, or a.  He wouldn't be working in any official capacity, or b.  Wouldn't be pulling down $120,000 a year.  Think about this for a moment...this is an ASSISTANT attorney.  Can you just imagine what John P. must be pulling down, paid for by....YOUR TAXES??  People, if you don't get this man out of office, I will lay money that you will when I'm through withya.

Worth mentioning...when I was arrested for a class D felony charge and charges of 2 aggravated misdemeanors, I had a bail of $70,000 and didn't get out of jail until 4 months later.  This guy is presumed innocent, probably had very little to no bail, got out the next day and is still working for the same guy whose office filed the charges....AND he makes $120,000 a year while he awaits trial...on the outside.  Get the picture yet?

"An assistant Polk County attorney was arrested and charged with child endangerment last week, but remains employed with the county. 

Joseph Darsean Crisp, 35, is accused of striking a 2-year-old child with an open hand across the back as "punishment for going poop in the minor child's diaper," according to the Nov. 17 criminal complaint. The strikes reportedly caused multiple bruises on the child's back.

Crisp admitted to striking the child, according to the complaint. Child endangerment causing bodily injury is a class D felony.

Iowa Department of Human Services employees reported the possibility that the child was abused to West Des Moines police on Nov. 15, the complaint states.

Crisp was arrested and jailed Nov. 16. He was released the following morning, according to a Dallas County Jail official. 

Crisp remains employed with the Polk County Attorney's Office, Polk County Attorney John Sarcone confirmed Tuesday. He works as a prosecutor in the office's criminal division.

"He's presumed innocent," Sarcone said. "Other than that I have no comment at this time. I don't think it's appropriate." 

Crisp did not return a voicemail left Wednesday at his office. 

County records show Crisp started working for Polk County on Jan. 5, 2009. His salary is $119,672 a year. 

Dallas County Attorney Wayne M. Reisetter filed a motion to appoint Madison County Attorney Matthew Schultz as a special prosecutor for the case.

There's an "ethical obligation to withdraw," Reisetter told the Register on Wednesday, because Crisp has a "relationship to a member of the Dallas County Attorney's Office."

Joseph Crisp and Erica Clark were married on July 18, 2015. Clark, who also goes by Erica Crisp, is an assistant Dallas County attorney.

Reisetter declined to describe what types of cases Clark has prosecuted for the county. 

"As your inquiry is clearly related to a pending criminal matter, I decline to comment in any fashion," he wrote in an email. 

Joseph Crisp's attorney did not immediately return a phone call Wednesday. He entered a not guilty plea during a Nov. 20 hearing. "
