Charges dropped: DA protester out of prison
A man known for protesting the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office and charged with soliciting the murder of a judge in Nevada has been released from prison and his charges dismissed.
South Lake Tahoe resident Ty Robben was released last week after Douglas County, Nev., District Attorney Mark Jackson dismissed the solicitation of murder charge, along with a charge of criminal libel — a charge that is not used in California.
Both the criminal libel and solicitation of murder charge concerned Judge John Tatro, Robben said. But, Robben told the Mountain Democrat, he was exercising his 1st Amendment rights for the first charge, and he was not soliciting anything on the second charge. Rather, another prisoner — while Robben, known as “Top Ramen” while incarcerated on the libel charge — propositioned him with a $5,000 “roofing job,” Robben said.
Jackson confirmed he dismissed the charges due to lack of evidence and unlikelihood of conviction. He also noted that the Carson City, Nev., DA’s Office was originally on the case, but was taken off due to having been named in a federal lawsuit Robben filed against them.
Robben credits his faith with seeing him through his time in prison. “My faith in the Lord got me through the darkest period in my life and I pray that I can start to forgive these people for the unforgivable acts of government retaliation using the criminal justice system after I had filed a federal lawsuit in Reno two weeks before I was arrested in California.”

All charges against South Tahoe resident Ty Robben have now been dropped in jailhouse HIT MAN to kill corrupt Carson City Judge Tatro and Slander/Libel/Internet Stalking
Geoff Dornan

Douglas County District Attorney Mark Jackson, the special prosecutor named to handle the cases, previously dismissed libel and harassment charges.
He served notice Thursday that he was dropping the charge Ty Robben AKA “Top Ramen” (new ‘jail name’ obtained at the Carson City jailhouse since it sounds like his name) tried to hire a hit man to kill Justice of the Peace John Tatro.
Mark Jackson was brought in after the Carson City DA’s office was disqualified from handling the case.
“Based on a full and complete review of all the evidence and the existing constitutional, statutory and case law, I filed a notice of dismissal today in the Carson Township Justice Court,” Jackson said in a statement.
He said that means Robben’s $50,000 bail has been lifted, and all pending charges against him have been dismissed.
“It is my understanding that Mr. Robben is in the process of being released from the Carson City Jail,” Jackson said.
Robben stopped by the Tahoe Daily Tribune Friday and said he was hoping to restore his life and family. He thanked his attorneys for their work to get him released.
“Thank you to Mark Jackson for standing up and supporting the U.S. Constitution,” Robben said.
Two weeks ago, Jackson dismissed the other case against Robben, which accused him of libel and stalking and two counts of attempting to intimidate Tatro and his family.
He did so stating that Nevada’s libel law was “unconstitutionally vague.” The stalking charge, he said, simply didn’t have enough evidence to support it.
Robben has been battling the state and criminal justice system since he was terminated by the Taxation Department.
He was angry with Tatro for his conviction on charges of disorderly conduct centered on his attempt to — allegedly — serve papers on behalf of a friend on then-NDOT Director Susan Martinovich.
Thank you Douglas County DA Mark Jackson for respecting the US Constitution and my 1st & 14th Amendment rights in these matters and the honor to respect the law(s) and look at the facts unbiased.
Tatro claimed Robben was criminal libel for a posting found here:http://nevadastatepersonnelwatch.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/the-shooter-of-judge-tatros-door-found-judge-tatro-caught-in-sex-triangle-revenge-scandal/
Robben also posted a story and photos of an alleged requirement for Judge Tatro to take a breathalyzer test prior to taking the bench everyday.

TAHOE MAN CHARGED WITH SOLICITING TO KILL JUDGE
======================================================
Tahoe man Released after local DA’s office Disqualified — New DA Drops Charges
Ty Robbins has always claimed that he was the victim of a politically motivated prosecution in Nevada for being a high-level governmental whistleblower. His claims included that the El Dorado County District Attorney was working in concert with Nevada authorities in this political witch hunt.
Robben was arrested twice in El Dorado County, once by Nevada Bounty Hunters that acted in California without the needed authority and then transported Robbens to Nevada. A second time was about a month ago when increased charges in Nevada caused the EDC Sheriff to exercise a legitimate arrest warrant. He spent nearly a month in a Nevada jail before a new DA stepped in to review the case and subsequently setting Robbens free finding the charges without substance.
In what is a bitter sweet victory for Robbens, he now is trying to put his life back together after spending a month in jail. The Nevada DA Mark Jackson wrote, ““Based on a full and complete review of all the evidence and the existing constitutional, statutory and case law, I filed a notice of dismissal today in the Carson Township Justice Court.” County DA Mark Jackson was brought in after the Carson City DA’s office was disqualified from handling the case.
Douglas County DA Mark Jackson said that means Robben’s $50,000 bail has been lifted, and all pending charges against him have been dismissed.
“It is my understanding that Mr. Robben is in the process of being released from the Carson City Jail,” Jackson said.
Robben stopped by the Tahoe Daily Tribune Friday and said he was hoping to restore his life and family. He thanked his attorneys for their work to get him released.
“Thank you to Mark Jackson for standing up and supporting the U.S. Constitution,” Robben said.
Two weeks ago, Jackson dismissed the other case against Robben, which accused him of libel and stalking and two counts of attempting to intimidate Tatro and his family.
He did so stating that Nevada’s libel law was “unconstitutionally vague.” The stalking charge, he said, simply didn’t have enough evidence to support it.
Judge Tatro Corrupt as @#!*% says many Reno area residents. Robben has been battling the state and criminal justice system since he was terminated by the Taxation Department.
He was angry with Tatro for his conviction on charges of disorderly conduct centered on his attempt to — allegedly — serve papers on behalf of a friend on then-NDOT Director Susan Martinovich.
Robben said Judge Tatro and Assistant DA Mark “Freddie” Krueger must resign and criminal charges must be filed against Judge Tatro for filing a false report against me! He went on to make this statement:
Thank you Douglas County DA Mark Jackson for respecting the US Constitution and my 1st & 14th Amendment rights in these matters and the honor to respect the law(s) and look at the facts unbiased.
Special thanks Attorney Jarrod Hickman and to the entire State of Nevada Public Defenders office including the folks behind the scenes answering my numerous phone calls from jail. Read more http://inedc.com/1-8418
Robben finished his statement with this question:
Are you aware of the ruling in Times v. Sullivan (1964) which states this, in part:
As Americans we have a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on Public Issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide open. And that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.
At this time it is unknown if El Dorado County DA Vern Pierson is one of the governmental officers that Robbens intends to sue related to his prosecution and arrest.

South Tahoe man Ty Robben charged with soliciting to kill Carson City judge Tatro using a “Hit Man”
From Minden/ Gardnerville newspaper Record Courier – Click Here for the story:
http://www.recordcourier.com/news/9946316-113/robben-charge-judge-bail
A bail hearing was Tuesday for a fired state taxation employee who faces a charge of attempting to solicit someone to kill a Carson City justice of the peace.
South Lake Tahoe resident Todd Christian Robben, 44, is in custody awaiting trail on two counts of intimidating Judge John Tatro. The additional charges were announced on Monday.
Robben reportedly tried to “solicit another to commit the murder of Carson City Justice of the Peace John Tatro either directly or through another person.”
Robben, who has been battling the state and the criminal justice system since he was terminated from the Taxation Department more than a year ago, already has been convicted of disorderly conduct.
He blamed Tatro for his treatment on the disorderly conduct charge involving his attempt to allegedly serve papers on the then-director of the Nevada Department of Transportation, Susan Martinovich.
Soliciting to commit murder is by far the most serious charge yet filed against him. It is a Category B felony punishable by 2-15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Robben has asked that his $50,000 bail be reduced. The DA’s office wants it increased.
Visiting judge Senior JP Harold Albright of Sparks will be in Carson City for that hearing, and he is expected to conduct Robben’s appearance on the new felony charge.
Public Defender Jarrod Hickman argued in November that Robben thinks he has been treated so unfairly by the DA’s office that his rights have been violated.
They lost an attempt to disqualify the DA’s office from prosecuting Robben on charges of libeling the judge, two counts of attempting to intimidate a public officer and stalking by electronic means.
In addition, Albright refused at that hearing to reduce Robben’s bail.
Those charges, one of which is another felony, are pending.

DA PROTESTER CHARGED WITH TRYING TO SOLICIT MURDER
DA protester charged with trying to solicit murderA complaint in Carson City, Nev., charges Todd “Ty” Robben with trying to solicit the murder of Judge John Tatro. The charge is a Class B Felony, said Carson City Assistant District Attorney Mark Krueger, which carries a possible term of two to 15 years.
The complaint alleges that Robben, while already in custody, attempted to solicit another inmate — who was a “cooperative source”— to murder Tatro. Robben, a warrant obtained by the Mountain Democrat shows, was in custody on charges of stalking by electronic means, libel and two counts of intimidating a public officer.
Robben protested outside the El Dorado County DA’s Office and the South Lake Tahoe Courthouse last May after bounty hunters illegally crossed state lines to capture him, he said. Out-of-state bounty hunters require an affidavit and warrant, he previously told the Mountain Democrat. DA Vern Pierson, however, said the matter was handled properly. Robben’s protest focused on what he said was corruption in Pierson’s office for not charging the bounty hunters.

In December 2012, Judge Tatro woke up to the sound of gunfire at his home around 4:30 am. Two shots entered the front door, passed through the living room, and exited through a sliding glass door. Ty Robben was questioned and immediately cleared. “Reply | Report abusive comment

- Fran DuchampFebruary 06, 2014 – 12:16 pmAgain…these are very different crimes “was in custody on charges of stalking by electronic means, libel and two counts of intimidating a public officer.” Now he is bumped up to intent to “murder” someone? Electronic stalking–people can claim that if you respond twice on their post…doesnt make it so..esp–if one knows where the person is in real time. Really big leap from posting comments to intent to murder someone… this will be interesting to follow. The DA needs kudos…this story will not get those for him. Robben was out there posting–out there in the public protesting..even if people do not respond–he got his message out there…people will watch now. Closely.Reply | Report abusive comment

- 1036-FrankFebruary 06, 2014 – 1:49 pmThere are plenty of videos of this guy, Todd Ty Robbens, in action all over the place including S. Lake Tahoe where he was demanding the resignation of the Police Chief for something and it looks like he is someone who had problems with law enforcement and judges and DA’s in two states and several counties. His road to felony charges has as much to do with threats being made and recorded while in jail over the phone it looks like as it does with a jail informant. He was also reported to have no less then five restraining orders against him from co-workers alone according to a News4 Reno report where he was maintaining that the state court was not filing papers and then backdating them regarding his termination from employment case and he was at that time given an order not to have any contact with court staff by a Judge Wilson. People should always look into the background of someone making claims of large conspiracies and the other guy did it and be suspect of it. This case isn’t looking good for him and his previous acts speak for themselves.Reply | Report abusive comment

- EvelynFebruary 06, 2014 – 2:24 pmTHIS is the case Frank references. “Carson City man claims court clerk backdating documents” – Todd Robben says a court filing by the Attorney General’s office in his wrongful termination case against the state’s Department of Taxation was dated in time to meet a procedural deadline, December 20th, but it wasn’t actually turned over to the court until at least the next day after that deadline. “The document wasn’t in the file,” he said. “It’s a big public concern because the public has a right to a fair court system.” . . . . . . . . . .Reply | Report abusive comment
- 1036-FrankFebruary 06, 2014 – 2:44 pmThe first question people might have is to ask themselves how many co-workers they know who while employed have ever had restraining orders from co- workers filed against them regarding their employment? I’ve never seen it locally although as anything it could happen. In his case News4 Reno said there were five. This was in the story about his claiming the court docs weren’t filed properly when the court staff said they were and this looks like it went to the Attorney General if not the Supreme Court as there are so many court filings it is hard to tell and this isn’t the same judge as now. These kind of orders prohibiting conduct of an employee would in a restraining order would about make it mandatory to terminate them on the orders alone because of the inability of others to perform their jobs along with creating a hostile work place problem. This is but one of many things that tell the back-story, which I believe is the real story. The two recent Nevada Appeal articles are also relevant about the threats made over the recorded jail phone which are being used for felony charges along with an informant. These troubles and allegations are involving way too many people in different areas and states for them to be all or any of them legitimate in my book.Reply | Report abusive comment

- 1036-FrankFebruary 06, 2014 – 3:09 pmIn this case of Robbens, He was like a one man war against law enforcement, the justice system, and the courts and local govt. This is not a winning game, and worse if tried in two states and several counties. the local DA was smart and ignored him from what I can tell and these kind of people like Robbens want attention and he didn’t get much, and the public support wasn’t there, though he would certainly be a tool to use for the “others are more corrupt” then me gang of operatives.

- agent provocateurApril 11, 2014 – 4:43 pmThe Douglas County District Attorney dropped charges Thursday against a man whom Carson City prosecutors had said tried to hire a jail inmate to kill Justice of the Peace John Tatro. Ty Robben, a former Nevada Taxation Department employee, was being held on the charge with a $50,000 bail. Mark Jackson, the district attorney brought on as special prosecutor after Carson City’s DA was removed from the case, said he reviewed the evidence before him and made the decision. In a statement Jackson said: “Based on a full and complete review of all the evidence and the existing constitutional, statutory and case law, I filed a notice of dismissal today in the Carson Township Justice Court.” Last month Jackson dropped charges of stalking, libel and two counts of intimidation of Tatro and his family, saying there wasn’t enough evidence that Robben was stalking him and his family, and that Nevada’s libel law was vague.Reply | Report abusive comment
