Letter Sent to Idaho Falls Commissioners Seeking Assistance for Federal Investigation into Actions of Prosecutor Running for Judge in November Election


Letter sent to Idaho Falls/Bonneville County Commissioners: Christensen, Radford and Staker

My name is Veverly Edwards. I am writing because I need your assistance.  I have petitioned the court, prosecuting attorney Pickett and other officials in Idaho Falls and Boise to assist me in getting an investigation into the fraudulent actions of my daughter’s attorney (G. Lance Nalder) and the doctor (Erich Garland) we filed a malpractice lawsuit against in 2012.  Both of these individuals used fraudulent information to defraud the malpractice lawsuit.  I have written a book God’s Miracle Among Corruption in Idaho and placed the information that documents the criminal behavior of Garland and Nalder and the unjust practices of City Attorney Fife, Prosecuting Attorney Pickett, the Idaho Falls Police Department and other officials in Idaho.  I know that no one will believe what transpired unless they see it.  These individuals attempted to quiet our voices. So I placed their letters filled with false information in the book to show and document their unethical practices.

After nearly losing my child (Robyn O. Edwards) in 2007, I discovered that Dr. Eric Garland, a neurologist in Idaho Falls, Idaho gave Robyn a prescription drug (Zomig) that caused a massive stroke. Once he realized his grave error, he then changed her medical records to reflect a migraine headache diagnosis and symptoms that she did not have. The drug, Zomig, is only given to treat migraine headaches. Robyn was having numbing sensations in her limbs. She never had a migraine headache.

In 2009, my ex-husband and I retained Nadler Law Firm to represent my daughter’s claim against Dr. Erich Garland. The case was scheduled to go to trial in October of 2012. Six months before going to trial, G. Lance Nalder withdrew from the case. I would have dismissed at that point had it not been for the fact that Nalder attempted to intimidate me with false medical records. I informed Nalder and the opposing side during a deposition in 2011 that the document in question, presented as a part of Robyn’s medical records, was not in my handwriting. I have since had a forensic document examiner review the document Nalder said compromised my testimony and the document is in Dr. Garland’s handwriting.  Nalder also made false accusations against the expert witness that his firm retained to give testimony.  He claimed that the expert recanted his statement, but I have a written statement that says the expert did not recant. It is also in the book.

These individuals made a mockery of my daughter’s medical malpractice case and of Idaho’s civil litigation process. Idaho Statute 18-2601 and 2602, states that it is a felony offense to introduce false information into any trail or court proceeding in Idaho even the investigative process. I have attempted several times to file a complaint with the Idaho Falls Police Department and they have refused to take a report. I even wrote Mayor Fuhriman and the city council for their assistance in 2013.

Mayor Fuhriman asked for City Attorney Fife’s opinion and Fife in a written letter lied to Fuhriman about the facts of the case.  I am sending you copies of the book “God’s Miracle Among Corruption in Idaho” because it has their letters and emails showing how they lied regarding the facts of the case.  In the letter addressed to Fuhriman, Attorney Fife states that he and Prosecuting Attorney Pickett did not think it was proper to prosecute Dr. Garland for violating statutes 18: 2601 and 2602.  My question is when is it proper to prosecute someone when they have committed a felony offense during a civil trial process?  What discriminating factors did Fife and Pickett use to determine it was not proper?  Was it because my daughter is African American and they are all white? You will find this information in chapters 3-6 of the book.

The people of Idaho need to know what kind of man Pickett is before electing him to a judgeship position.  If he cannot fairly operate and prosecute offenders of the law as a prosecutor, surely he does not need to be elected to the position of a judge.  He would only harm the citizens and turn his head as he has in his present position, when someone he deems it improper to prosecute has committed a criminal offense.

The statute of limitations have not run out on the fraud that I discovered in 2012 and reported to the police.  The police just refused to take any action. When I first spoke with Captain Cook of the Idaho Falls Police Department in 2013, he stated that even if I could prove Dr. Garland falsified the records, the statute of limitations had run out on Idaho 18: 2601-2602. He attempted to convince me that the time started when Garland falsified the records. However, it did not become a criminal offense until Dr. Garland used the documents during the court/trial process. So how could the statute of limitations for this offense start before he introduced and defrauded the court process? I did not discover it until my attorney attempted to defraud me with the material in 2012.  My belief is either the police cannot read and interpret the laws or they think the citizens are unread.

After I wrote the Idaho Falls City Council in 2013, the police finally took a report from me but did nothing. As a matter of fact, the emails in the book will show that I even sent evidence showing the offenses and they did nothing to investigate the fraudulent acts committed by both Dr. Garland and Attorneys Nalder and Barton. 

I also believe, because Garland was heading an initiative that the City of Idaho Falls had a stake in, is the reason that everyone took part in this deceptive plot.  Please read the book all of this information is spelled out in it.  My goal is to get the federal government to intervene and investigate all of the individuals that took part in this scheme to defraud my daughter’s case.

I would think that the representatives of the people of Idaho Falls would have a problem with this. It is a dangerous precedence to allow a doctor to blatantly and willfully falsify information, allow it to be used during a civil court proceeding, and not hold him accountable according to the statutes of Idaho that cover such criminal behavior. This doctor’s actions forever changed the life of a 13-year-old girl. Innocent people do not change records and defraud civil cases. We need help in getting a federal investigation into this doctor’s criminal offense, G.  Lance Nalder’s criminal behavior in defrauded his own clients, and all of the officials who turned their heads and allowed these criminal acts to go unaddressed, including Prosecutor Pickett.

I hope you read this information and realize that a grave offense took place.  No one in Idaho has offered to assist Robyn and me, or give us any directions on how to continue.  So I am writing you as County Commissioners of Bonneville County asking for your assistance in getting a Federal Investigation into the actions of all of these individuals.

Sincerely,


Robyn Edwards 
Veverly M. Edwards
