This isn’t recent news, but it is new to me. I had forgotten what gage grosskruetz had changed his name to while I was making a post earlier today so I had to look it up and discovered some funny news. As some of you may remember, he was run over by a vehicle a few years ago.
Oh, and just so everyone knows, his new name is
paul prediger
He was extremely upset with being a victim of a crime because now his new name was revealed:
This led to Jessica McBride, a right-wing blogger, in her usual invasive fashion, discovering my new name and disrupting the quiet, normal life I was trying to live. You have jeopardized my life twice now.
Ha ha, fuckhead!
This resulted in the tearing in all of the ligaments in his neck, cracking of his teeth, breaking his shoulder, breaking half of his ribs, a broken wrist, collapsed lung, and lacerated liver. Somehow, gage…I mean paul was able to track the guy down-so, some good detective work-maybe if he wasn’t a criminal acab pussy with two good arms, he could have been a decent detective. The suspect’s name is Marvin Thomas.
Due to the suspects previous criminal history, he was facing 30 years in prison.
Well, it turns out just before his trial-32 minutes before the scheduled time and just before predinger arrived, the defense and prosecutor made a deal. Thomas pled guilty to reduced charges and the prosecution agreed to a sentence of….2.5 years. Fucking awesome lol.
He cited Marsy’s law, which is a victims rights law that basically guarantees that victims have similar rights to the suspect/defendant-right to remain silent, right to a speedy trial so as the defense does not try to wear down the victims and witnesses, right to address the court and provide a victim impact statement, and things of the sort. I had to learn about marsys law when dealing with human trafficking and domestic violence cases for the job I had last year as well as I teach it in some of my classes.
Here is his sob story letter to the judge:
“Dear Judge Ashley,
I am writing to formally express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the handling of the recent court case, 2023CF004275, in which I was the victim, on 07/22/2024. Specifically, the fact that the court case was called 32 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. This unexpected change deprived the public of their right to be present during the hearing and violated my rights as a victim to participate and speak at the defendant’s sentencing hearing. I received no notice from the prosecutor about this schedule change and was outside your courtroom well in advance. I contacted the Victim Rights Advocate several times that morning, as I had every intention of being present for the defendant’s sentencing hearing. My assistance and cooperation throughout the entire 10-month process, including providing the evidence necessary to arrest and charge the defendant, should have demonstrated my commitment to this case and its outcome.
As a victim, my right to be heard during sentencing is protected under Marsy’s Law. This law “ensures that victims of crime have equal, constitutional rights on the same level as those accused and convicted of crimes”. It also “ensures that victims have the opportunity to provide input, express the impact of the crime, and participate in the judicial process”. Calling this case 32 minutes earlier than scheduled, without advance notice to me, unfairly denied me this crucial opportunity to exercise my rights..”
So, the judge scheduled another hearing just so paul prediger-damn it, I just used his new name again possibly exposing him to danger and not allowing him to remain anonymous and live a quiet and private life…shit, sorry paul prediger. Here is his victim impact statement:
“I only want to take a brief moment of the court’s time since the defendant has decided to waste all of ours for the past ten months. To put this into context, let’s all imagine Brady Street on a warm, summer weekend night, bustling with music and people along the street. Those lovely memories are shattered when a careless driver prioritizes their own desires over the lives of those around them. We saw this with Arne Bast and Quincy Alexander. Unfortunately, one lost their life, but neither will ever know who hit them, much less have that person face justice. Last year, at the end of summer, Marvin, you decided to not only injure me but also put the lives of everyone else on the road in jeopardy. How do I know? Because I found you. Despite you tearing every ligament in my neck, cracking my teeth, breaking my shoulder, breaking half the ribs on the side you drove three tons of metal into, despite you breaking my wrist, collapsing my lung, and lacerating my liver (that means cut, in case you’re unaware), despite all of this, I got out of the hospital standing tall and tracked you down from the moment you got in that car all the way back to where you parked it.
I was determined to find you, not only to hold you accountable for what you have done to my body but also for the pain and trauma you put my friends and family through. All of this is overshadowed by the fact that you robbed me of my privacy and safety. It’s no secret that I changed my name, but what many people don’t know is I did so because of harassment and stalking from law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Milwaukee Police Department.
When you left me to die in the street after running me over and dragging me 30 feet, the responding police officer failed to keep my information confidential, despite a legal obligation to do so. This led to Jessica McBride, a right-wing blogger, in her usual invasive fashion, discovering my new name and disrupting the quiet, normal life I was trying to live. You have jeopardized my life twice now.
To add insult to injury, you and your girlfriend tried to conspire and hide what you had done and even went as far as to taunt me on the internet, referencing the Rittenhouse shooting. You’re 30 years old, a multiple-count felon who can’t obey the rules of the road, much less society. You drive your girlfriend’s car, you have no job, and now you are going back to prison. Guess what I’m going to do? I’m going to enjoy the warm sunshine, spend time with my family and friends, go fishing, and not give you another thought, as should no one else.”
The best part about him finally getting to address the court and judge…the judge denied the request to resentence thomas to more prison time and he kept the same 2.5 years-not quite the 30 years in prison that paul prediger-damn, I did it again, was hoping for.
This is an excerpt from an interview paul prediger…oops, I did it again, gave to the local news:
Prediger said that the leniency that the judge showed Thomas was “kind of a slap in the face to me… It is, but I think more so it’s a slap in the face to the community.
paul wanted the judicial committee to sanction the judge for starting the trial 32 mins early, giving such a lenient sentence, violating Marsy’s law, and not letting him speak, testify (which he was really looking forward to, and confront the he man that broke all his ribs, cracked some teeth, tore ligaments in his neck; tore off his bicep…oh wait, that was someone else named Kyle.
I read the comments on the article and they are laughably angry that paul prediger didn’t get the “justice he deserved”
Oh, and one of the best and most ironic twists of the story is that paul prediger-formerly gage grosskruetz and avid blm supporter and protester/rioter was run over by a black guy and then taunted on social media.
Oh, this was such a feel good story.
