FALSE IMPRISONMENT PUBLIC NOTICE

False Imprisonment of Diane Berkebile, New Castle PA
Booking No. 2039152, Lawrence County Corrections Center

This is to advise you that the recent incarceration of Diane Berkebile constitutes false imprisonment, false arrest, a violation of 18 USC 1983 and deprivation of civil rights under color of authority and I and others are demanding her immediate release. She is elderly and disabled and should not have ever been incarcerated.

It is my understanding that the arrest is for not appearing for a false collections proceeding where Ms. Berkebile was never served. She was sued for defamation over a series of Facebook posts which criticized DA Lamancusa in his official government functions which should be covered under 1st Amendment free speech provisions every US citizen possesses and an inalienable right.

In addition, the statements she made on social media were in fact truthful and would be subject to Pennsylvania’s new anti SLAPP act as her constitutional right under the 1st Amendment to the US constitution and under the Free Speech provisions to the Pennsylvania Constitution. See attached Statute details. Lamancusa is also a pubic figure and as such he cannot sue anyone for false light, defamation or libel. In addition, defamation claims are successfully defended by asserting the following affirmative defenses of hyperbole, opinion, substantial truth, etc. and the burden would be put on you to prove the statements are false and damaging in some manner. Be aware that these opinions of states attorneys and district attorneys are now commonly held by the public and it may be difficult or impossible to even find a jury on your side.

It is my understanding that during this false and malicious arrest: 1. She requested but was shown no warrant or court order; 2. She was not read her rights; 3. She had repeatedly requested a copy of her files, but the clerk of court would not send them to her. In addition, she was unable to obtain a pro bono attorney because no attorney wanted to go into that court systems due to overwhelming issues with corruption and not following state and federal law, rules and regulations.

From the Pennsylvania State Constitution:

§ 7. Freedom of press and speech; libels. The printing press shall be free to every person who may undertake to examine the proceedings of the Legislature or any branch of government, and no law shall ever be made to restrain the right thereof.

Lamancusa should be utterly ashamed of yourself, immediately release Ms. Berkebile and pay her significant damages for her pain and suffering. All of the lawsuits Lamancusa should be immediately withdrawn with prejudice.

The court document clearly show NO SERVICE on Diane B. They show a huge verdict, an attempt at collections and when she didn’t appear, because she was never served, she was falsely arrested.

PA had “kids for cash”, now it’s “Diane for Cash”
