News Analysis and Opinion

Sac County Attorney Ben Smith—in his zealous pursuit to bring criminal charges against his business associates estranged ex-wife failed to disclose he attempted to help Tracey Richter’s ex-husband get a business loan and when that attempt failed 4 months later he charged Tracey Richter for murder.

The prosecutors business associates has openly confessed that he was at the witnessed the body, blood and brain matter of Dustin Wehde even though he claimed to be out of town.  The stretch and improper conduct of prosecutor Ben Smith, included listening to confidential calls between Tracey Richter and her defense counsel which the prosecutor stated happens ‘occasionally’ with the Reliance Inmate Telephone system which according to Smith does not delete all confidential calls andvoice mails.

It was egregious and intentional

This conviction should have never happened. Prosecutor Ben Smith purposely ignored and hid evidence that did not support their theory, and manipulated the witnesses to create evidence to support his own friendship and business relationship with Tracey Richter’s estranged ex-husband.  The prosecution falsely denied his personal relationship with star witness and personal and business relationships and failed to correct his lies at trial. Tracey Richter has spent 2 years in prison for a failed murder for hire plan orchestrated by Michael Roberts to steal the ownership interest of ex-wife Tracey Richter in Xellex aka Mile2 not commit - This cannot be considered justice.

I never thought I would be writing this, especially here on this website Rip-off Report. I guess I am just like others trying to stop corruption.

I work with local government here in Cherokee County. When this website first came out many laughed and said, none of this could be true. Like others I see they were at first influenced as I was by my piers and superiors. Today, many others I know believe as I do, there is only some things that are on this site that are a joke and I guess the joke is on us, and well deserved. I have to admit; this site has given much needed pressure to stop those who will take advantage of the less fortunate and wrongfully convicted in Sac and Cherokee county. Changes need to be made, not only to the ability of prosecutors to listen to confidential phone calls but also anyone who uses the legal system to attack an ex-spouse.

Recently I was privy to conversations by Mr Smith who I respect, or thought I respected. He did not know others were listening at the time and what we heard was outrageous. Mr Smith admitted that he had withheld important information on criminal several cases to get a conviction where they all (he bragged) are still serving time. Mr Smith stated, he never liked anyone of them anyway and that in the case of Tracey Richter, he had a relationship with her ex-husband and was livid when they did not get a business loan because of stories on the Internet about Michael Roberts hiring men to kill Tracey.

Ben Smith should be punished for his crimes. If I had heard this second had I would have never believed it.

Also a known fact, Ben Smith and Michael Roberts met in 2001 at Buena Vista University when Michael Roberts company Xellex provided services to the University and Michael and Ben met at carrer day in 2001. This information was provided before the Tracey Richter trial to authorities.
