Haleigh Cummings: missing child-Kim Picazio now says she was mislead

The Department of Children and Families became aware of the allegations of drug use by Crystal. DCF requested a random toxicology test of Crystal Sheffield, during the course of their investigation, as they found it relevant to investigate Crystals fitness as a parent. At that time, in June 2009, I learned from DCF that Crystals infant daughter, Chloe, not even one (1) year of age, had been born with illegal narcotics in her system due to Crystals drug use during her pregnancy. The DCF caseworker had not informed me of this DCF case against my client, and I had no prior knowledge of the case until that time. DCF dismissed the investigation against Ronald Cummings, without explanation.

I felt as if I was only being told relevant information by the family, after a fiasco had occurred. I could not represent a client who was not being honest with me, and was taking illegal drugs. To make matters worse, In April 2009, Crystal admitted to me that she had taken unprescribed pain medication. Further, her mother, Marie Griffis, reported to me that Crystal had stolen her step-fathers pain medication after he had surgery in April 2009. I was extremely concerned over my clients drug use. Crystal assured me that it was not an addiction, and that it had only taken a few pills due to back pain from an old car accident. In April, 2009, Crystal suffered another seizure, and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. All of these incidents played out loudly in the media. Despite my requests to family and friends to withhold all comments to the media about Crystals seizures, they defied my recommendations. As such, I then was forced to issue numerous press statements regarding Crystals status.

A vindication? I do not think so. A most telling statement comes from William Cobra Staubs:

Kim Picazio and I had conflicts during the case because she adamantly defended her client. During the course of the case, I personally witnessed Crystal Sheffield take illegal narcotics on several occasions. I attempted to tell Kim that her client was doing drugs. Kim Picazio did not want me releasing this information to the public. I confronted Crystals family about her drug use, and they believed she should be put in rehab. I was present at a meeting between Crystal Sheffield and her Father,

Kim Picazio went on television and claimed that Junior and Haleigh would be best off with their mother.
However, she has given the court a response that says this is not true. Kim Picazio has much to say.

@8675tree09 Just an ass.

[Dreamfinder1997]

This video doesn't say anything about Kim P. or being mislead by her client. It's about her missing the dna collecting.

[DotiBump]

That is because I have no videa about Kim P. You have to read the letter Kim P wrote to the court. It says it all, trust me.

they need to find Haleigh and bring her home.

[8675tree09]

Some thing is wrong with this talk of if they are comeing to get my DNA. I am going to the doc.sand now she cant be found .Did they get some dna off the block that propped open the door ? Maybe they are trying to get a match and thats their first pick ? I wander if the prossecuters know alot more than they are telling because it seems they are shifting their investigation to the mom and hae mom and dad and have they cleared the boy freind ?

[TyneRoseMedia]

This case has so many twists and turns. Hopefully they are getting close to finding little Haleigh and uncovering what happened. Thanks for posting this video.
