Into The Light: Rohn Plea In Drug Case Feb. 19 in Open Court
Atty. Lee Rohn
St. Croix Attorney Lee Rohn will plead in open court to criminal charges filed against her by the Virgin Islands government in April of 2003 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
The Honorable Darryl Dean Donohue of the Superior Court, St. Croix Division, signed the order that schedules the hearing for 10 a.m., Friday, February 19, 2010.
The hearing will now be public, despite a motion filed December 4, 2009, by prosecuting Attorney Melissa P. Moroney of the Virgin Islands Attorney General’s office, requesting “that this Honorable Court schedule a change of plea hearing in the above captioned matter sometime after February 14, 2010, due to the schedules of the defense. The defense requests an off-calendar day and the People have no objection.” (Italics. bold added)
We were perplexed by the prosecution initiating such a motion in support of a defense scheduling issue, but now that the hearing will be held on an “on calendar” day, then things must be all straightened out.
But wait. What’s that you say? There are rumors of a politically motivated “deal” of some sort?
But that can’t be.
This is a seven year old felony case that began on March 29, 2003, when Rohn was stopped during a routine security screening at St. Croix’s Henry Rohlson airport when it was discovered that she was carrying what a police affidavit described as “a substance believed to be marijuana in a vacuum sealed plastic bag and further contained in a tennis shoe,” in her bag. The substance was later verified as marijuana. The court document went on to say that when questioned, Rohn allegedly told a US customs officer that she was taking the drugs to her boyfriend in Puerto Rico.
Rohn was fined at that time for failing to list the drugs on her customs form. Five days later, on April 4, 2003, she was formally arrested and charged with felony counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. She was released on her own recognizance on a $10,000 bond.
So as we understand it, Rohn was in possession of a controlled substance. This is not in dispute. That is a crime. She was stopped on her way to board a plane. That means the controlled substance was planned to go with her. The court documents say she allegedly told US Customs officers she was taking it to her boyfriend in Puerto Rico. This is all documented in public records.
So there you are – possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Right?
So we simply cannot believe that in this era of “transparency” that any type of “political” juggling could possibly be in process for the adjudication of this case.
And the judge will rule in a manner that follows the strictures of the law because he wouldn’t dream of handing down a ruling that seemed, well, inconsistent with the way other cases of this type are handled.
So there, all you naysayers!
But we’ll be watching anyway.

WE’LL SEE THE CLOCK…I HOPE CIF WRIGHT A LETTER TO THE BAR ASSOCITION PRESIDENT ASKING THEM WHAT SANCTIONS THEY PLAN TO IMPOSE ON THIS INDIVIDUAL FOR THIS ACT OF BREAKING THE LAW.
Thank you BERT BRYAN for keeping the pressure on daily.If it wasn’t for you they would have forgoten it on purpose.”BERT BRYAN 2010 WE GOT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN”
The way this administration is going, don’t be surprised to see her name come up for judgeship if they are re-elected.
‘Wright A Letter’. I think its obvious why you are as you say you are, a’Former Lee Partner’.
“Keep In Mind”, if judgeship happens everybody should throw in the towel!!! Let me outa here! Come on….. those who can stand up to her and make it right…. do it! She’s a BULLY and thinks she is invincible!
Believe me–Lee J. Rohn does not want a judgeship. It does not pay well enough. Besides which Senate would approve that nomination. None of even the current batch is that slimy.
No comments. I’m afraid, too many want-to-be in her pockets from the Gov. and those who attend her yearly **** to those who want her yearly summer school scholarship.

The DEA need to go to one of the partys, a lot of people will know what time it is.
This all makes so much sense, now that I read what is going on.
I have a friend who approached Rohn for advice on sexual inappropriateness by one of the gov’s employess, and she flat out refused to even offer a legal opinion, as she said she does not go after the government. Yep.
It does not matter to her who is in power, ie gov, as long as she sticks to screwing Hovensa as her sole income.
Heck, if she were to go after the government, she would lose ALL her behind-deh-scenes relationships she has, which is likely to include anyone who may win the seat of governor.
This is all dirty pool,so let’s get it all on the table.
The outcome of this will say a lot about the government here on the Virgin Islands. I am shocked they have allowed this to go on for this long….would the average citizen be treated this way?
Lee Rohn knows that she got them f*ckers by the damn balls. And, all she got to do is squeeze to get what she wants. When are the damn FEDS gonna step in and take a closer look to what is really going on in the VI.
Did anyone go to the plea hearing today and see what happenned?
We too waiting…….
Me three waiting….
Me hear it been continued at the defendant’s request!
Lee Rohn was out partying last night.She is not shaking in her heels. The lady is smart and deserves to be left in peace. What good would be served by her going to jail? Others have got away with worst crimes.
Anonymous: Guess you’ve not been the object of her wrath.
