In
The Courtroom…with Mikah McCray
The case
was called, my son, and I was told by the judge to hold my right
hand up and swear to tell the truth, which I complied.
Jon Carter,
my attorney, read part of the document by the state that I had
agreed to stipulate to as amended the second time:
“That on
November 11, 2006, the minor child suffered a spiral fracture
to his right arm…John Schoonover, The natural father caused
the injury …either through improper handling or carrying said
child, or by failure to place said child in a safe place when
he left the child unattended which allowed the child to fall and
receive the injuries.”
I have been
in enough courtrooms, my son, to know that if it isn’t exactly
true and articulate it can be subject to interpretation by
anyone. For example,
the word “injuries” should be singular or someone could state I
agreed to being responsible for more than one.
In the
original document it also stated you suffered a “radial”
fracture. A “radial”
fracture is considered less severe than a “spiral” fracture but I
did not argue this point as in the criminal complaint it is
described as a “spiral” fracture.
I did not
have a problem stipulating to the underlined portion, excluding
the plural of the word “injury.” However, if I stipulate to
it as it is, someone could state, correctly, by omitting that
portion following the comma and the word “or,”
That I
admit that I handled you improperly, which I did not, or was
carrying you improperly, which I was not. Either of those statements
is not the truth. The
truth is the latter, underlined, and then for only twenty
seconds. However,
that time element would be brought up in
testimony.

Jon Carter
asked the judge, who stated that, if he were to instruct a jury
that he would give them the option to choose which of the two they
felt would be applicable.
I could not agree to this. One is a lie; the
other is close to the truth.
Larry
Stuart, the District Attorney who made the agreement with John
Carter to this second amended petition, was not present to object
or concur. Ethically
Jon Carter could not go “behind his back” and submit a motion to
the court that this second amended petition be amended a third
time to omit the possibility of someone arguing that I stipulated
to handling/carrying you improperly.
Jon Carter
did ask the assistant attorney who was sitting at the prosecutor’s
table with Mikah McCray if he would agree with a
continuance and if he
would accept this third modification.
The
assistant attorney turned to Mikah McCray and she nodded her head
in the affirmative; she would accept my stipulating to the single
statement that is underlined in the above quoted document…and
court was adjourned until March 13.
I told John
Carter that if Larry Stuart, the District Attorney, agreed to the
limitation to the truth as I knew it, I would so stipulate and no
trial would be necessary.
I was under
the impression that Patrick Pickerill, your attorney, as he also
nodded his head in the affirmative, would then submit the proposal
to the court that you be appointed a guardian [not me] but I would
have virtual unlimited access to you under supervision of this
guardian.
This third
amended petition would read [condensed] “…suffered a spiral
fracture…by failure to place said child in a safe place when
he left the child unattended which allowed the child to fall and
receive the injuries.”
I did not like it but it was a reasonable compromise at the
time.
My son, it
is rare that a child of five months rolls off a bed 32” or so off
the floor and receives a spiral fracture…but it does happen. It has to happen because
it happened to you November 14th. . . . or so I thought, at
the time.
67
Mikah
McCray still holds fast to her assertion that I had to have
twisted your arm with great force for you to have received this
spiral fracture. I
ask that you take my word that I did not commit such an act.
Mikah
McCray has convinced a Pawnee District Judge, District Attorney
Larry Stuart, Assistant District Attorney David Robertson and
Deputy Steve Melton that I broke your arm maliciously,
deliberately, by force, resulting in a spiral fracture. Steve Melton was even
convinced to file his criminal complaint to have me arrested for
this phantom crime.
Again, I ask that you take my word that I did not commit
such an act.
But you
really don’t have to take my word for it.
Following
the continuance Jon Carter queried to me one more time about why
there were no records from Tulsa Regional Medical Center where you
were sent to confirm the spiral fracture that was ‘suspected’ at
the Cleveland hospital.
“I would
like to know too, Jon, so this afternoon I will go get them.” Excerpts of the eight
pages of records follow:
You were
carried into Tulsa Regional Medical Center at 1225 by Mikah
McCray as a victim of abuse but on the “confidential” sheet she
states you had an “Accident” that morning, “11/15/06.” You were “alert and
smiling.” Mikah McCray gave the order for your isolation and my
exclusion from seeing you.
Mikah McCray ordered the armed guard. Mikah McCray ordered that
no one be contacted but Mikah McCray. It is all in the hospital
reports. Because she
admitted you to the hospital as the victim of abuse the
“Reason For
Exam: ALLEDGED ABUSE.”
Mikah
McCray also listed you as having: “NO NEXT OF
KIN”!
“FINDINGS: Multiple radiographs are
obtained of the skeletal system including bilateral hands,
upper extremities, pelvis, bilateral lower extremities,
chest, skull, feet, and entire spine. No evidence of fracture or
dislocation identified.
The soft tissues are unremarkable. The heart size and
pulmonary vasculature are within normal limits. The lungs are clear.
“IMPRESSION: Unremarkable
skeletal survey.
68
“I have
personally reviewed the images for this exam and agree with the
report transcribed.
STANLEY HANDEL, M.D.”
Date of the
document, my son is 11/15/2006 and the names on the document are
Tony R. Hill,
D.O., Stanley Handel, M.D., Hooby Yoon, D.O.
Elan, my
boy, if you are only twelve years old when you read this you will
have the knowledge to glean that “No evidence of fracture”
means I did not break your arm as Mikah McCray duped Pawnee
County Officials, including your attorney Patrick Pickerel and
CASA worker Tina Hughes into believing that I did. As well as countless
others…not limited to but including Cynthia Carroll, MSW, Programs
Field Representative who denied me my right to appeal Mikah
McCray’s “Confirmed Child Abuse fracture”
declaration!
Aesop wrote
a fable about a chicken:
“Chicken Licken.”
Hunting for worms under a tree, a walnut fell from the tree
and hit Chicken Licken on the head. Chicken Licken
panicked: “The sky is
falling, the sky is falling.” Chicken Licken ran across
the meadows alarming all the other farm animals and they all
panicked. They were
all running around aimlessly looking for places to hide because
“The sky is falling.”
Chicken Licken played them all for
fools!
There is a
moral to the story as all of Aesop’s fables had morals as likewise
did Jesus’ allegories.
If all see the error of their ways because of Mikah McCray
and her ‘falling sky’ I will raise you as I should and you will
understand then all from the very first one that I read to
you.
Mikah
McCray can not convincingly deny that she knew you, Elan, did not
receive any fracture for which she persuaded to Pawnee officials
to have me arrested and put away for life.
There is a
lesson here to be learned for anyone having a child that one in
DHS may want to take away for whatever reason. Had my sister not posted
bail enabling me to go get the hospital record that proved
otherwise, I would very likely have gone to prison for the rest of
my life as a child abuser convicted of having broken my son’s
arm. Please
don’t think it could not happen to you!

Visiting
day with Elan at the DHS office in Pawnee
I calmly
poignantly acted out the motions of twisting my arm as I asked
Mikah McCray, “If Elan did not get his spiral fracture from
falling off the bed could he have gotten it from me picking him up
by his arm and twisting it something like this?”
“Yes,
that’s probably how you did it.”
“I
understand. Thank
you.” I understand, she thinks I am a
fool.
* *

My concern
now, my son, still is the fact that something could happen to you
while you are under Mikah McCray’s control. My adopted son Benjamin
was immediately taken into custody by DHS at St. Francis Hospital in 1999. His was a genuinely
serious accident…but not necessarily fatal. He did not have a fracture
when he was admitted to St. Francis Hospital and taken into custody by
DHS. This is
confirmed by the hospital reports signed by Dr. Philip Barton and
others that I have in my possession that clearly states just as
does yours, No evidence of fracture.
Only one
person was ever alone at any time with Benjamin while he was in
St.
Francis Hospital: A DHS armed enforcer.
The autopsy
report by Dr. Ronald Distefano states a 2” occipital
fracture. How could
such a huge fracture on a toddler’s skull be ‘missed’ by five
examining physicians with state of the art imaging equipment equal
to that of Tulsa Regional Medical Center used to confirm that YOU
had NO FRACTURES anywhere?
Benjamin’s
fracture was created by DHS’ enforcer for Charles Ramsey to get a
conviction for a murder that did not exist. This is clearly explained
in my Motion to the Mayes County District Court to Exhume The
Truth that consumes a chapter by that title [Motion To Exhume The
Truth] in part two of my book “Knights in Dirty Armour II.”
Mayes County does not want the
truth exhumed. Doing
so would expose the real Dirty Knights.
70
Your
“fracture” was created by DHS’ Mikah McCray to get me out of the
way so DHS could take and keep you from me, your
father.
To what
lengths will Mikah McCray and her DHS go to keep you from coming
back home to me where you belong?
The longer
she procrastinates the inevitable the harder it is for you, son of
mine, as well as me.
You are now
eight months old. You
have been away from me for over three months. When Mikah McCray took you
from me November 15th you had already started to
articulate words.
“Daddy” was your first word. Of course. I spoke it to you often
enough and praised you when you mimicked me.
When my
Benjamin was eight months old he was articulating short
sentences. Though he
had a slight speech impediment and slurred certain words and
dyslecticly spoonerized occasionally he was quite understandable
in what he did say.
At that age he called me “Daddy John.” He could and did
articulate “Paw-paw” and Paw-paw Jim” and “Bye-bye” as well as
wave, and greet his various relatives verbally. He could even say “I’m
hungry.” He was also
outgoing and always
exhibited a smile when greeting strangers or being greeted by
strangers.
Not so,
you, my son, at this time.
Why? It is
certainly not your fault that you are being deprived of the care
and attention and instructions you should be given. It is certainly not your
fault that you are left alone in a cage and kept from people in
general.
You always
went with me to Wal Mart, for example and smiled at everyone that
stopped to greet you and comment on your beauty and radiant
personality. You
always greeted me with a smile.
You were
never exposed to a harsh word around me. You had nothing to
fear. You were secure
with me. Not so,
now.
You have
been torn from the safety of your happiness and loving care. You have been put with
strangers who leave you neglected. You are afraid of what is
coming next. You
trust no one because everyone who you have trusted has betrayed
you…or so you believe.
71
You think I
betrayed you by taking you someplace when your arm hurt and then
went off and abandoned you with these strangers who handed you
like chattel to other strangers who handed you to more strangers…
“Why did my daddy abandon me?”
“Why does
he only come to see me a few minutes a week?”
Of course,
you have no concept of days or weeks or even minutes and have no
way of knowing that I did not abandon you, my
son.
All you
know is that your peaceful loving world has been
destroyed.
What damage
DHS has done to you is immeasurable and there is no way of
estimating the amount of time it will take to erase that damage
and open you up from the shell you are withdrawing into back to
the well adjusted infant you were. You should be articulating
short sentences now.
Not uttering only meaningless gurgling sounds. I have dozens of
photographs of you with your perpetual forlorn expression when
there should be a radiant smile. There is no excuse for
this…there is no excuse for Mikah McCray taking you away.
I am in
possession of the “CONFIDENTIAL” page from Tulsa
Regional Medical Center where she lists you
as having no next of kin. Where she lists herself as
the only contact.
Where the information she gives is: “Accident.” “Accident
date: 11/15/06” “Do
not notify Law Enforcement.”
Why does she secrete from them the fact that your last name
is “Schoonover”? Why
did she list herself as “Other relation”? Why did she falsify your
admission records?
Why does she keep secret the name of your attending
physician “Tony Hill” from her witness list on the charge against
me she perpetrated against me for “Willfully and Maliciously
breaking your arm”?
Follow the
money. Mikah McCray
has something to gain.
It is certainly not to your benefit.
I think I
was not supposed to be able to get this “confidential”
report. She has
chosen for you the religion of “Christian” to which, if she is an
example, broadens my understanding of why Moslems find us
distasteful.
Personally, I think you should be given all the information
available and allowed to make your own choice. It should not be dictated
to you what you should believe…or know…by someone who falsifies
records and creates serious false injuries to destroy a sound and
happy union between this septuagenarian dad, or any other, and
their innocent child.
