Monica Yant Kinney | Driver not drunk, just determined
By Monica Yant Kinney
Inquirer Columnist

I've followed and written about some strange and surreal legal cases
before, but nothing prepared me for New Jersey v. Freya Koss.

Koss is a 61-year-old Main Line grandmother with a host of health
problems and passion that can erupt into righteous indignation.

She's the kind of woman who, when falsely accused of drunken driving,
is apt to give the officer an earful, flip out when he arrests
her, and appeal the charges to the highest court.

Her point: That a little old lady who is stopped for straddling lanes
on the Ben Franklin Bridge shouldn't be treated like a
criminal, tricked into a pair of handcuffs, and tackled by a police
officer twice her size even if she is bit irritating and
incorrigible.

If Koss has to part with thousands of dollars to prove just how
irritating and incorrigible she can be, she will.

Call her naive. She swears she didn't know she had to go mute the
moment she saw flashing lights.

"When I think of the police, I think of them as good guys there to
protect me," she says, "not abuse me."

Roadside distraction

Koss was heading home to Wynnewood from a meeting in North Jersey last
year when her driving caught the eye of Officer Kevin Overton
of the Delaware River Port Authority police.

He was on DUI patrol, so he followed her and pulled her over as she
exited the bridge in Philadelphia.

What happened next could make the blooper reel on Cops.

Overton wanted Koss to perform some balance and coordination tests.

Koss tried but told him that her many ailments - among them
degeneration of her hips - made it excruciating.

Overton said she ignored his instructions, talked back, and failed the
tests. Her demeanor went from "odd" to "irate" to
"combative," he testified recently in Municipal Court in Camden.

For his final "test," he used an old trick, telling her to turn around
and extend her arms. Then he cuffed her.

That set off actions that concluded either with Koss' whipping around,
punching Overton in the chest, and forcing him to subdue her
(his version) or Overton's losing his balance and tumbling with Koss
onto the cobblestone street (her version).

Did I mention she's 5-foot-3 and 140 pounds and uses a cane?

After seeking medical treatment for the fall, Koss was locked in a
port authority police cell, transferred to Camden County's jail,
and charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest and DUI - even
though a breath test detected no alcohol in her system.

Time from traffic stop to her hobbling out of jail: nine hours.

Amount of Koss' bail: $5,000.

Koss' perceived insult and injuries: insurmountable.

A quixotic quest

Municipal Court in Camden doesn't usually see folks like Freya Koss.

Those accused of petty offenses often don't show up, and they rarely
bring lawyers. Cases are usually over in minutes, minimizing
the time spent on uncomfortable folding chairs in the makeshift
courtroom at City Hall.

Koss took no chances.

She hired Moorestown lawyer Justin Loughery, who stretched the case
out over several mornings, interviewing character witnesses and
piercing holes in Overton's police work.

Yet even he acknowledged his client's behavior had made matters worse.

"While Ms. Koss may not have reacted in the most gentlewomanly or
civil of ways," Loughery said in his closing, "she did not commit
a crime."

Judge James Faison III described her with less charitable words,
including "righteous indignation" and "obstructionist attitude."

In the end, Faison dropped the DUI charge. The aggravated-assault
charge, which had been reduced to simple assault, also
disappeared.

But the way Faison saw it, her recalcitrance constituted resisting
arrest.

Facing only $762 in fines and fees, anyone else might have walked
away, having fought the good fight and lost.

Not Koss, who's heading to Superior Court to appeal the guilty
verdict.

She thinks she was judged for her personality. And since when is being
outspoken illegal?

"If this can happen to me," she insists, "it can happen to anybody."

Well, maybe not anybody.

Dear Dr. Eichen,

It's unfortunate that you don't have anything more constructive to do
with your life other than amusing yourself and your colleague dentists
by doing internet searches of my name. Am I really that important? I'm
flattered!!!

The bridge incident was no a laughing matter, it was police abuse. For
your information,  the "bridge" incident was overturned by an honest
judge in superior court, who was outraged by the police action.

I recommend that you do something more constructive and positive with
your time to help humanity. Why don't you help your colleagues by
informing them of the truth about the toxicity of their daily exposure
to mercury from working with amalgam, including your own exposure.
Dentists have the highest rate of suicide in this country
professionally, and it's not because their patients don't like them.
Have your checked your collegues hands for tremors? How many dentists
have Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinsons and mental illness?  Or, haven't
you taken the time to research this.

Frankly, you're an embarrassment to your profession and a danger to
the public if you are placing mercury amalgam fillings. Haven't you
read the most recent reports from Sweden, Norway and other countries
who have for years warned against placing amalgam fillings in children
and pregnant women.. these countries are banning the use of mercury
amalgams.

Refer your colleagues to WWW.TOXICTEETH.ORG, WWW.TESTFOUNDATION.ORG,
WWW.IAOMT.ORG, http://www.home.earthlink.net/~berniew1/indexa.html,
and give them the studies which show that dentists have the highest
rate of suicide professionaly in this country.

I suggest you keep up with the significant news of the day...or are
you still reading comic books.

why don't you post this photograph on your dentist website:

THIS IS WHAT MERCURY AMALGAM FILLINGS DID TO ME.

No wonder Freya is such a strong advocate. When other's slink into
the background she stands up for what is right.

Unfortunately the Police do get abusive. Who was that guy from 60
minutes that was being harassed by the police for parking and got into
a big confrontation a month ago because the police didn't realize that
they
were browbeating a celebrity.

Now we get to the truth. The charges were baseless and Freya did
what was right were most people would not have the fortitude to do.

Yep, well said. She nailed you good.

I guess that's because the U.S. still uses research from the 1970's.
Now, how was it again that the ADA couldn't figure out for 30 years
that amalgam releases any mercury? THAT is SCIENCE.

Here are a few statements by  Hans (dentist from Sweden said to Joel.

*I hope most open-minded people will view Joel's attempts to characterise th
e
PHS report as
proving that amalgams are safe, as a gross misrepresentation of the facts.
People who rely
on professionals to know their stuff, deserve better.*

*Hi Judge Joel,

You are representing the most prejudicial attitude I saw in a
long time. Did you get that from being a judge during the witch-
processes in a former life, or what?

Either you are grossly misinformed or you are intentionally
spreading blatant lies.*
