U.S. ATTORNEY KILLIAN PARTICIPATES AS KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOR THIRD ANNUAL EAST TENNESSEE ACCESSIBILITY SYMPOSIUM PRESENTED BY CITY OF KNOXVILLE

U.S. Attorney William C. Killian, was invited by City of Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero to participate as the keynote speaker of the third annual East Tennessee Accessi- bility Symposium, held Friday, October 3, 2014, at the Knox- ville Civic Coliseum, Knoxville, Tennessee.

U.S. Attorney Killian prepared and addressed the over 120 attendees, which included contractors, government and civic leaders and members of the general public. In her intro- duction of U.S. Attorney Killian, Mayor Rogero stated, “Throughout his appointment as United States Attorney, Mr. Killian has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to the enforcement of equal rights for all citizens in his District of East Tennessee. While Mr. Killian is concerned for the civil rights of all individuals, he rec- ognizes that the physically and mentally impaired are especially burdened as these individu- als not only have the same issues as the rest of the population as it pertains to discrimination, but they have the additional challenges that their disabilities and/or impairments create. For this reason, Mr. Killian is especially interested in leveling the playing field through the elimi- nation of architectural and other barriers that prevent those with physical impairments from enjoying the same privileges and benefits as the non-disabled. Mr. Killian’s office has over- seen the largest ADA architectural compliance review and settlement in the district’s history: Westgate Resorts Gatlinburg. That settlement, reached in November 2012, involved a 1,000 room resort with a 60,000 square foot, indoor water park. By November 2015, that resort fa- cility will be in compliance with the ADA and accessible by all of our citizens, including members of the armed services who have returned to their home district with greater accessi- bility needs than before they left to serve their Country. In recognition of the growth in civil rights work that occurred during his first few years as U.S. Attorney, Mr. Killian appointed the district’s first Civil Division Civil Rights Coordinator. Further, as a result of the achieve- ments in disability rights law attained by his district, Tom Perez, former Assistant Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, awarded a member of his Civil Rights team a Certificate for the Advancement of Civil Rights. Please welcome, Bill Killian, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee.”

In the highest American tradition, the patriotic men and women of the Guard and Reserve serve volun- tarily in an honorable and vital profession. They train and remain ready to respond to their community and their country in time of need. They deserve the support of every segment of our society.

If these volunteer forces are to continue to serve our nation, increased public understanding is required of the essential role of the Guard and Reserve in preserving our national security.

Therefore, we join other employers in pledging that:

 We fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and these service men and women for their service to the country.  We will provide our managers and supervisors with the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.  We appreciate the values, leadership and unique skills Service members bring to the workforce and will encourage opportunities to employ Guardsmen, Reservists, and Veterans.  We will continually recognize and support our country’s Service members and their families in peace, in crisis, and in war.

ASSET FORFEITURE SHARING CHECK PRESENTATION IN DRUG TRAFFICKING CASE

Pictured above from left to right: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Woods; U.S. Marshal Jim Fowler; ATF Special Agent in Charge, Andy Anderson; U.S. Attorney William C. Killian; Marion County Sheriff Ronnie “Bo” Burnett; and ATF, Resident Agent in Charge Darryl Hill.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Department will receive a check in the amount of $751,515.71, which represents the majority of funds forfeited in a marijuana trafficking case prosecuted in U.S. District Court in Chattanooga. The court ordered a total of $961,413.93 to be forfeited, of which $939,553.93 was cash and $21,860.00, was the value of vehicles and an ATV.

Jackie Morrison, Ollie Frizzell, and Sammy Nance, all of Whitwell, Tennessee, along with Julio Barbosa, Sr., of Laredo, Texas, were charged and convicted of offenses related to the scheme, which operated from 2004 to 2011. The operation was responsible for transporting over 1000 pounds of marijuana from Texas to East Tennessee, where it was distributed.

In addition to the Marion County Sheriff’s Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had a significant role in the investigation which led to the subse- quent conviction and sentencing of these individuals. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jay Woods and Gregg Sullivan represented the United States. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne-Marie Svolto assisted with the forfeiture.

The Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program is a nationwide law enforcement initi- ative that removes the tools of crime from criminal organizations, deprives wrongdoers of the proceeds of their crimes, recovers property that may be used to compensate victims, and deters crime. The most important objective of the program is strengthening law enforce- ment efforts to combat crime. Equitable sharing further enhances this law enforcement ob- jective by fostering cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Any state or local law enforcement agency that directly participates in an investigation or prosecution that results in a federal forfeiture may request an equitable share of the net pro- ceeds of the forfeiture.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RECOGNIZES USAO EMPLOYEES

WASHINGTON – Assistant U.S. Attorneys (AUSAs) Gregg L. Sullivan, Perry H. Piper, Jeffrey E. Theo- dore, and A. William Mackie of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Tennessee were four of 243 members of the Department of Justice recognized by Attorney General Eric Holder and Executive Of- fice for U.S. Attorneys (EOUSA) Director Monty Wilkinson at the 30th annual Director’s Awards Ceremo- ny today in Washington D.C.

The Eastern District of Tennessee was one of 44 districts represented at the ceremony which was held in the Great Hall at the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building.

AUSAs Piper and Sullivan were recognized for the successful prosecution of Walter Cardin, a safety man- ager for the Shaw Group, a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) nuclear power plant contractor. Cardin fal- sified injury information at three TVA nuclear power plant sites for several years and hid and misclassified injuries so that the Shaw Group could collect safety bonuses of over $2.5 million from TVA. Cardin’s fraud impaired the safety of the work environment at nuclear sites. The prosecution team reviewed over 500,000 documents, interviewed hundreds of individuals, and presented over 60 witnesses during a 10-day trial to establish Cardin’s guilt. After conviction on all counts, Cardin was sentenced to 78 months in pris- on.

AUSAs Theodore and Mackie were recognized for their dedication and exemplary skills in the successful prosecution of Darren Huff. Huff, a militia leader and a self-proclaimed “potential domestic terrorist,” trav- elled to Madisonville, Tenn., with other armed militia members for the purpose of arresting public officials and taking over the courthouse. Huff and his militia followers abandoned their plan when they were met with an overwhelming law enforcement presence. Although prosecution options were limited, AUSAs The- odore and Mackie creatively employed an obscure, seldom-used criminal statute to charge Huff. Although there had been no reported convictions under the statute, the AUSAs determined the offense of transporting a firearm in interstate commerce with the intent to commit a civil disorder was a viable charge. They skill- fully managed fearful witnesses at trial in order to secure a conviction in the highly-publicized case.

In his prepared remarks to awardees, Attorney General Holder said, “Locally, nationally, and international- ly, you represent the very best that this Department has to offer. Your work embodies our ongoing commit- ment – not merely to win cases, but to do justice; to protect our fellow citizens from crime, violence, and terrorism; to empower the most vulnerable among us; and to uphold the rule of law.”

EOUSA Director Monty Wilkinson echoed those sentiments, saying to the recipients, “You have perse- vered, and remained focused and motivated – achieving remarkable results in work that makes a difference in the lives of citizens across our great country. The vast scope of your collective accomplishments is noth- ing short of exceptional.”

“The Eastern District of Tennessee is fortunate to have many quality federal prosecutors. The awards given to these particular AUSAs highlight their accomplishments and achievements in cases involv- ing national security concerns, the highest priority for the Department of Justice. It is gratifying that these AUSAs are recognized nationally for their exceptional work,” said U.S. Attorney Bill Killian.
