Knights in Dirty Armour  II

 

Chapter VI

 

 

" HAPPINESS "

 

 

 

“Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

 

 

 

We are all (supposed to be) guaranteed that right.  Most of us want happiness.  There are a few disgruntled people who are not happy unless they are miserable.  My mother-in-law, for example.  Actually, I’ve had two that I’ve really known and both are similar; in that it seems that neither was happy unless she was miserable.  “Woe is me, woe is me, I need attention, I can’t do anything.”  “God did not put us on this earth to be happy; He put us here to suffer by the sweat of our brow.  Says so in Genesis.  Happiness is evil.” 

 

Using those two examples, I am not able to state that we all seek happiness.  Most of us do.  We should all have that right, whether guaranteed by our shredded Constitution or not. 

 

Those who wantonly take the life of another, perhaps, are an exception to the rule.  I favour the death penalty, by the way, which will go against the grain of some, but I do not favour putting an individual into a cage and torturing that person to death day by day for years and years before their “natural” death or final lethal injection by the discompassionate State.

This is cruel and unnecessary and of no benefit to anyone but the human zoo keepers.  It is definitely not any kind of “deterrent” or the crime of murder would have ceased to exist long before the painless(?) humane invention of Doctor Joseph Guillotin during the French “Reign of Terror”. 

 

The “Reign of Terror” that exists in Mayes County Oklahoma is on a much smaller scale than the grand French movement and is far more subtle. 

 

I have been guaranteed “happiness” for Marie . . . that is, her freedom from life long torture for a crime that did not happen, similar to what was written in the conclusion of “A Tale of Two Cities” . . . with exemption to that great sacrifice that resulted in the fall of the guillotine on the neck of Cydney Carton.  I can have Marie freed from prison without sacrificing my own freedom and be happy. 

 

What a wonderful proposition.  Here’s how it works:

 

It was testified by several that I was “outside” when Marie found our Benjamin having what appeared to be a seizure [“How long has this boy been having these seizures” Dr. Christopher DeLong, Mayes County Medical Center] Nora Stanart even testified that Benjamin himself replied to her question as to where is daddy, “Outside watering the flowers.”  Benjamin’s statement, within moments of 1830 hours, was, of course, before his accident that Charles Ramsey calls a murder.

Prosecutor Charles Ramsey calls Benjamin’s accident a murder without any knowledge whatsoever as to how Benjamin received the initial injury, as he states in his closing argument: “Ladies and gentlemen…I don’t know” what happened in that house.  He has stated to several people, including Nora Stanart, that he does know that Marie did not harm little Benjamin.  Despite this fact he has purposely manipulated a jury and the law to send Marie to prison to die.

 

 That makes him a premeditated murderer.

 

But he is a good murderer because he is working for the State.  He is a prosecutor that is virtually exempt from any accountability. He will not object to Marie being set free as she is innocent and should be set free.  But there is a price. 

 

No one testified that I stayed outside between the time Benjamin talked with his grandmother on the phone telling her he is “running and playing” and the minute* later when Marie heard a noise and ran to find Benjamin on the floor at the end of a piano bench.  

 

An affidavit is demanded to accompany the Post Conviction Relief for the retrial of Gilda Marie Schoonover:

 

“I, John Schoonover, stealthfully entered the house without Marie’s knowledge and (did something to Benjamin which) caused the death of my son to be, Benjamin, and then stealthfully exited back outside before    Marie dropped the phone upside down on the counter and ran from the kitchen to the foyer to find Ben on the cement floor next to the piano bench which is exactly what she did and all that she did.”  

 

There is trial transcript truth testimony in that proposed affidavit: The final 40 words.

Someone with a greater imagination than mine would fill in the blanks as to motive, agility and method and then there is the “time frame” but Mr. Ramsey had no problem finding a 45 minutes “time delay” between 6:35 and 6:40 pm.*  How he could so easily fool Judge Post is beyond my comprehension.

 

 David Copperfield fools his audiences for entertainment similarly and I enjoy being fooled by him but he does not make fools of people.

 

“Sign this, John, and you and Marie can get on with your lives.” 

 

Of course, there is the “Double Jeopardy” clause that would prevent any prosecution for this “murder” and I would, in fact, be free to do about whatever I wanted. 

 

Notwithstanding the ridicule I would receive from some, and I could live with that as it bothers me none that some feel I am a sob.  It would be somewhat difficult to obtain another child care license but I am beating 69 with an ugly stick and thanks to Ramsey and his close association with his friend George Klatt we have no home in which to care for any child anyway. 

 

The headlines would read “John Confessed to Killing Ben” just as it is on the perjured Probable Cause Affidavit and as it would be sworn to by me it would be perjury; perjury that no one would prosecute.  I would be as immune as George Klatt.  I would also be in the same category as George Klatt.  Though I have not ordered the shooting in the back of the head of anyone.  It could be said that I was the one who “busted open” Ben’s head with an asp so long as no one questioned  that there was no injury for Ben’s brains to be “gushing out the top of his head” [tr.1340] until after he was operated on and George Klatt ordered Marie and I out of the room and pulled the curtains for his privacy with Ben.

John would get blamed for perverting justice and causing Marie to waste five years of her innocent life in prison. 

 

It would also be that John would be a traitor worse than Judas.  He would save his Marie, but he would also set free the worst of murderers and those are who act under the cloak of justice; Knights in Dirty Armour.

 

 “They are already free,” I have been told.   Yes, they are.  They walk among us unnoticed like free radical cancer cells in our bodies.  When we discover them for what they are it is too late. 

 

Have you ever watched speeches of Adolf Hitler as he rebuilt Germany after their depression?  Before he started building gas chambers?  Packed crowds of people praised him for his leadership.  Before he started building gas chambers.  He started out as a Private.  In a small town.  Like Pryor, Oklahoma.  He did not have cancer; he was cancer.

 

Adolf Hitler did not appear to be a bad guy …Before he murdered the first innocent Jew and started building gas chambers.  He, too, was a traitor to his people who followed him in blind faith.  A snake in lion’s clothing.

 

I would save Marie at the expense of betraying everyone who has read my book or believed in me.  I would be worse than Judas.  Judas only betrayed One. 

 

I would be betraying numbers I do not know.  The first one I told of the proposition, Pamela Brook, raised her voice to me in disbelief that the proposition was even made!

I would betray Denise Elrod, and other victims of Ramsey. John DuBiel, who has helped me considerably and wrote the commentary.  Ronnie Whitehead who transcribed my scribbles into a legible text and wrote the preface.  I would betray Kevin Adams who won the Clarence Darrow award for defending me.  So many people I do not know and will never meet I would betray.  Everyone who has signed our guestbook.  All for the sake of Little Insignificant Marie.  More important than any single individual or group of individuals, I would betray Justice.  I would condone the Perjured Probable Cause Affidavit by George Klatt that was used to arrest two innocents.  I would condone not just George Klatt’s and Charles Ramsey’s, but all perjured Probable Cause Affidavits used to undermine our Constitution and wrongfully convict innocents anywhere that are falsely accused.

 

How does one weigh the difference between one’s innocent wife, a single individual, and Justice for All?

 

Could I live with myself knowing I would be condoning a grave injustice not only to those presently involved but future victims unknown to the misconducts of Dirty Knights who would remain hidden under their cloaks of Justice?  Judas hung himself when he realized what he had done. 

 

I would not have to resort to that act as Jim Stanart told me face to face in Judge Post’s courtroom that if he thought I had harmed Ben he would kill me himself and justifiably so as Ben was his only grandson.  I am not afraid of Jim Stanart though he could easily “pick me off” at 300 yards with his .300 Weatherby Magnum.  I would deserve it. 

 

 

I face the same risk from others by this exposé.  I could very well join Welch Oklahoma’s Laura Bible and the Freeman family.

Considering those two options only, Jim Stanart’s shot would be a clean quick instant kill and the other potentially sloppy and painful. I have been shot before and in making the choice I would rather a sloppy shot for seeking Justice than a clean shot as a traitor and coward for allowing the perversion of Justice.

 

Nora Stanart may hate me for risking the very life of her daughter for the sake of Justice when I could free Marie with a signature on a perjured affidavit, and I can understand that.  Any who have seen “The Good Son” to its conclusion gets a glimpse of a type of decision one should not be forced to make.  No one is wearing my shoes but me. 

 

I risk paying the price of condemning my innocent wife to death in prison for not being a coward and traitor to Justice.

 

I understand and feel the pain of Abraham over his son Isaac; without the benefit of knowing there is a lamb to take his place.  Marie is the innocent sacrificial lamb.

 

“Do the right thing.” 

 

Then, arguendo, only a paranoid person would be skeptical that the honourable Judge Post may not accept the “sworn to confession” as anything but what it would be, a perjured statement on a legal document designed to get Marie out of prison and I just might be betrayed myself and sent to prison for up to ten years (life) for perjury!  Just because they condoned George Klatt committing perjury on the Probable Cause Affidavit is no guarantee they would condone me perjuring an affidavit.

Mr. Ramsey told Judge Post when I was ordered released by the Court of Criminal Appeals, “We have to let him go because there is nothing else we can charge him with.”  “They” would have something if I knowingly signed their proposed  perjured affidavit.

 

Of course, not being inflicted with paranoia, I have no cause to suspect such possibility of foul play by any Dirty Knight.

 

The “Post Conviction Relief” to be filed for Marie will not include the required false “confession” from me.  I will not slander Kevin Adams hard work and make his Darrow Award a sham.  I will not pervert Justice for the far greater reward than 30 pieces of silver.  Even if there was no foul play on the part of the Knights I can certainly understand why Judas Iscariot hung himself.  I would deserve the same.

 

 

“Give me Liberty or give me death.”

 

 

Give our innocent Marie the Liberty she deserves through Justice or give her a wrongful death.  Who can know the severity of invisible internal suffering from making that decision?

 

***

 

The following chapter is the gravamen of the Post Conviction Relief applications in their entirety so you, the reader, can see what is suppressed from the jury  though is in fact public record.  Added will be explanations of how certain “tattletale” prejudicial words are used by the court and why they are used to deceive you into believing falsehoods. How Justice takes a back seat to protocol. Those committing wrong will not seek the truth.
