Medicare Fraud? Child Custody Violations? How the prosecution muddied the waters.

Image
"I think we felt like the case was going to be difficult to prove. We were struggling with, you know, how and when to charge it. We initially arrested him for interference with child custody just to hold him so we could try to build this murder case. So we felt at the time that the strength of the evidence was not going to be sufficient to pursue the death penalty and the aggravators simply weren’t there." ~  Georgia Cappleman in an interview with Tallahassee lawyer, James W aczewski  In addition to the false arrest for child  custody  issues, The Tallahassee Democrat, as well as other newspapers, reported at the time that Dr. Frasch was guilty of Medicare fraud. Despite that the federal investigation ended with the charges being dropped, this story persisted. In fact, Dr. Frasch was owed money by Medicare and Medicaid, the state-assistance for people with low incomes, the elderly and the disabled. Over his 20+ year career, Dr. Frasch had to write off 8 figures-worth...

Could the same thing happen to you?

  I t's taken time in prison for Dr. Adam Frasch to come by the hard-won information that what happened to him could happen to many of the people he knew before his false incarceration.  It starts with trusting homeowners allowing an unskilled  labourer  to do odd jobs for them. The 'handyman' will charge far less than a bonded or more competent worker but when he's gained the trust of the homeowners he starts stealing items that won't be noticed for awhile. And if you tell him you don't need him on a certain day and he knows the house is empty, he can go back for more smaller  items or just go in for a large haul and then stay out of the picture for awhile.  Samira Frasch noticed items missing from her closet and the last full day of her life was spent trying to find a designer purse that was made especially for her, her most treasured possession. Long before that, Dr. Frasch had noticed items missing from his garage and would have fired the...

Who really killed Samira Frasch?

Image
Gerald Gardner was the one who "found" Samira. All the evidence pointed to him also being her killer. To understand who killed Samira Frasch one has to look at particular lies in the trial.  Gerald Gardner said he was at the Frasch home the day before Samira’s death in order to pressure-wash the home, a job he never did. And that he had returned the next day to finish off the job. Dr. Frasch can show he had another man who did that although just the trial revealed Gardner’s ignorance of the process of pressure-washing a house since he thought it was 2-day job. Gerald Gardner said Samira Frasch was at home with her children the day before she died. In fact, Adam, Samira and the two children spent the day travelling from their Tallahassee home to their Thomasville home and then back down to their Panama City Beach home because Samira was concerned about expensive items of clothing that were going missing. Cappleman twisted this into a complex story of marital infidelity, saying...

The unassailable alibi that the prosecution chose to ignore

Image
At 10:46 am on February 22, 2014 Bank of America security footage recorded Dr. Frasch with his two children doing his banking in Panama City Beach. After that, he went on to his Panama City Beach home where his neighbour talked with him and helped him get his children out of their car seats.  At the same time back in Tallahassee a woman matching Samira's description was seen alive on the driveway - putting something into the Hummer and returning to the house - by neighbours, Mr. Matthew Christiansen and his daughter, Lauren. Dr. Frasch was three hours away and in less than half an hour, Samira would be murdered. He could not have done it.  Mr. Christiansen is positive about the time. He even walked the route again to time it, using his phone records which gave him the time that he had called his wife when he got home that day. He had passed the house sometime between 10:25 am and 10:45 am on February 22, 2014. He came forward and talked to law enforcement officials when he hea...

Media Distortions

Image
The media loved the story of Adam and Samira Frasch. They were a fascinating couple with a luxurious lifestyle and two beautiful babies, one of them already a social media star. The truth of how Dr. Frasch had met his French model wife and the life that they shared would have been enough of a story but the media chose to fall back on clichés that turned Dr. Frasch into a womanizing gambler and his wife into a terrified, hunted woman.  At the centre of the lies were Assistant State Attorney, Georgia Cappleman, and State Attorney Investigator, Jason Newlin. The misconceptions put forward by the media could almost all be directly or indirectly linked back to this tag team that decided at some point that it was going to be Dr. Adam Frasch who would be prosecuted for Samira’s death regardless of whether or not he had an unbreakable alibi. Dr. Frasch’s alibi alone should have exonerated him. Neighbour Matthew Christiansen came forward and said that he had seen a tall, thin, African Ameri...

Closing Arguments - extreme twisting of the truth

Image
Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman admitted three years after the trial that she gave the jury what they needed to hear to get the verdict she wanted. In her closing arguments, Cappleman turned the whole case into one of ‘domestic abuse.’ She tossed those two emotive words out after four days of twisting the truth to make a grieving husband seem like a cold-hearted killer. And she continued to mislead by misrepresenting the last day of Samira’s life which she told the jury had been spent driving from Tallahassee to Thomasville to Panama City Beach looking for a missing purse. “What do you know about Mrs. Frasch?” she asked the jury. “She had expensive clothes. She liked nice things. She probably had more purses than Melania Trump.” But why would a woman with more purses than Melania Trump be looking for a missing purse and driving for hours to see if it were in any of their other homes? She put forward the idea that Samira had been jealously going from house to house looking for signs that h...
