The Document below was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

Note in this letter from ROISD Police Chief Scott Lindsey that he verifies that none of the documents in question were even sent to the DA!

Please read on the ROISE website, the mission statement of the Red Oak ISD Police Department:

Was evidence gathered and processed in this case per the ROISD Mission Statement?

The original constitution that the girls signed was on the website in February-March 2006, as the girls downloaded that document from the site. The contract was with the constitution. The candidates for the team signed it and released it to Coach Burrow.

Along about December, 2006, the 2004-2005 constitution somehow appeared on the website; I recall Principal Watson telling me, during our grievances, that we had the wrong constitution, but it really didn't register with me at the time...nothing else to my knowledge was changed on the website, just this constitution swap.

Along comes January 22, 2007 and the website is changed again, this time with the altered constitution that was presented to the board.

The argument seems to be that an offense of Tampering with Governmental Documents didn't occur because the official document would have been the documents filed as administrative policy by the board, and that a copy would not constitute a legal violation!

There are no archives, to my knowledge, where an original constitution lies with the original signature beside it. The "archive" is on the hard drive of the Red Oak ISD computer, and as Burrow admits when she went to her tryout packet, she found all the original paperwork.

In my opinion, the computer is the archive. A document that had been signed was altered and presented in an official governmental proceeding as the document the cheerleader candidates had signed.

Fait Accompli? Not in Red Oak.

What if "Tampering with a Governmental Document" wasn't the perfect charge? Could a complete and impartial investigation uncovered a more applicable offense?

How about possibly Texas Penal Code 37.09: Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence? If the coach had help, how about Texas Penal Code 15.02: Criminal Conspiracy, which defines two or more colluding to commit a felony an offense? Were any Federal cyber crimes committed here? At this point, how do we get answers?

Chief Lindsey boasted on the prior ROISE website as having a master TCLEOSE certificate (the bureaucracy that licenses peace officers in Texas). I, too, have a masters TCLEOSE certificate, and I fail to see where an investigation was performed. If anything, in my opinion, an investigation was thwarted!

Read the following memo, in Lindsey's own words, and decide for yourself.
