Knights in Dirty Armour II

 

Chapter XVII

 

 

MOTION TO EXPEDITE

 

When a citizen is accused of a crime, 95% of the time the accusation has a foundation of validity.  That does not mean that we should simply take that person out and shoot them.  There is always that 5% or even greater chance that the accusation was made in error.

 

Under Hussein, Idi Amin, Hitler and others, having one, a thousand, or six million, taken out and shot merely on an accusation was the norm.    Two, here, were simply “taken out and shot” simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.  They were denied any recourse whatever.

 

That is why we have a constitution.  To protect us from false accusations.  True, some guilty slip through ‘loopholes’ designed to protect the innocent.  O. J. Simpson slipped through the cracks because the State tampered with solid evidence.  No system is completely foolproof. 

 

When a person is convicted of a crime they are degraded to the lowest class of human.  Spat upon and caged.  Treated inhumanely.  They must pay for their crime to satisfy the public; the rest of us.  They must pay for their mistakes!  [In too many cases, however, we just want revenge.]

 

This is assuming that the guarantees of our Constitution laws of Due Process are upheld by honest officers of our law.  No perjury by officials, no suborning of perjury by officials, no threats to witnesses by officials, no fabrications of non-existent injuries to the press prior to trial and during trial and no coercion of jurors in their deliberation. 

 

When one of us is guilty as charged, meaning the charge is valid, then it is not necessary for officials to resort to committing all of the crimes in the previous paragraph to get a conviction via due process of law. 

 

 

1

Only when one of us is innocent and falsely accused must immoral officers of the law resort to perjury, suborning of perjury, threaten witnesses, fabricate injuries that do not exist and broadcast to the press false confessions and non-existent injuries blatantly ignoring our Constitution that is designed to protect us from such immoralities with the guarantee of due process of law. 

 

We all understand one aspect of law that is how one must be apprised of the charges against him that he be allowed to defend.  Twice in succession such charge was made at the conclusion of the trial leaving no opportunity to defend.  Twice in succession the Honourable Court of Appeals reversed the conviction due to that violation of our Constitution.  One would think that the Mayes County Oklahoma District Court would have learned from their first mistakes.  Then accept that fact rather than try to cover it up and make it again. 

 

Marie and I were falsely charged in the death of our child.  The very foundation of the accusation was proven to have been perjured by Charles Ramsey’s friend George Klatt.  Or was it Judy Girdner?  George Klatt never controverted Judy Girdner.  In either event there should have been then and there an in-depth evidentiary hearing to determine the truth!  Truth was not wanted.  The truth hurts.  But only the guilty.

 

I want the truth known.  The truth will set Marie free. 

 

There are others the truth would set free, if it was heard.

 

I think it is time for me to reveal another truth: what was told me by Jeremy Jones and his girlfriend who was with him when he shot Cathy and Danny Freeman; put Laura and Tanya in the trunk of his car and called George Klatt for instructions.  George Klatt brought the two body bags.  One of the girls was shot in the head; the other tried to escape and was shot in the back.  The lime came from Adair.  Who got out of bed to get it for George I think I will keep to myself.

This is the same George Klatt who composed the “Probable Cause Affidavit” in the case at bar.  His sexual perversion with minors in the mid 1970s at Pryor’s Whitaker Children’s Home and perverted activities in Viet Nam are also dirty little secrets I think I will keep to myself to protect his innocent victims.  Things I would have never known had he not caged me up with some of his friends.  I’ve met some of his live victims. 

 

That is the type of officials that care nothing about honesty and our Constitution.  The type we do not need “protecting” us.  A Knight in the dirtiest of armour.

 

 

Our Benjamin had a fatal injury from an accidental fatal fall onto a cement floor.  Why was it necessary to bust his head open in St. Francis Hospital after he had already expired?  Because a conviction was absolutely necessary at any and all costs!  Too many lies had been told and they could not be justified so they had to be covered up.  In my first book and this website I have exposed them.  I have already written most of Knights in Dirty Armour II on this site and it, too, will be published by Trafford, B.C. Canada when it is completed. 

 

As long as there is a breath of life in me and I am able to write I will keep this publication alive. 

 

We have lost our only opportunity to have a child with our name to raise and reap the benefits of our intelligence.  We have lost that gift of life to an unforeseeable accident.  Anyone else who has lost their child will know our pain.  No one who has not lost their only child can know what this has done to us. 

 

To exacerbate the injury our innocent Marie remains caged in torment immorally and illegally for five years to date and it is way past time for the Honourable Higher Courts to accept the fact that immoral officers of the law in Mayes County Oklahoma screwed up!  They ignored our Federal Constitution and they ignored our Oklahoma Constitution.  They ignored the truth for the benefit of an immoral and illegal conviction.

Ninety days ago I filed the truth with the court clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals.  How much longer must Marie be denied Justice?   How much longer must she be sacrificed to protect the gilded reputation of criminal officials in Mayes County Oklahoma?  Must she die in prison to protect these Dirty Knights? 

 

If this is so then I petition to re-instate Creek County’s Judge Thomas; infamous for playing with himself with battery operated sex toys during trials.  Removed from the bench because of simple perversion under the robe; at least he didn’t try to kill any innocent person by sending them to prison to die.  Or did he?  Do we really need these kinds of prosecutors and judges in office to send innocent victims of perjurers like their George Klatt to prison to die?

 

Following is the filed document with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals; the “Motion For Summary Disposition.”  It is double spaced in accordance with Court Rules. 

 

Had the State (Drew Edmondson) responded within the allotted time limit of 30 days with either a request for extension (which would have been granted) or argument against the petition for relief, which would have necessitated our filing a rebuttal to the State’s Argument, the Court could pigeon-hole our petition for a significantly long duration; a year would not be uncommon.  Another year for an innocent woman to rot behind prison walls waiting for Justice that, due to her failing health, may not come during what lifetime she has left.  This would definitely confirm Oliver Wendel Holmes, “Justice delayed is Justice denied.” 

 

This Motion is our only resort to alleviate the unnecessary perpetuated unusual excessive torment our Marie is enduring due to the accidental death of our child and overzealous immoral dirty knights whose only interest is a trophy for a conviction . . . at all costs.  That is a major problem with the adversarial system; Justice sometimes takes a back seat to “Winning at all costs.”  Janet Reno’s suggestion of “seeking the truth” is all too often scoffed at.  Though it is a better way, it is not as profitable. 

 

Following is the Motion, verbatim, filed April 4, 2006:

MOTION FOR SUMMARY DISPOSITION

 

 

Comes now the petitioner Gilda Marie Schoonover,  Pro se, an inmate within the Department of Corrections currently at

the Mabel Basset facility located at 29501 Kickapoo Road, McLoud Oklahoma 74851, under the direct care and custody

of Millicent Newton Embry, warden.

 

And moves this court for its summary disposition and judgment in the above styled and numbered matter, and further prays this Honourable Court for its

5

 

Vacation of the Judgment and Sentence in this matter, and further prays this Court to bar any further pleadings by the respondent being entered as procedurally time barred, all as a matter of law and as a matter of Justice.

 

 

 

Statement of the History of the Case

 

 

          1.  First charge November 16, 1999

 

          2.  First trial date April 19 – 25, 2001

 

          3.  Reversal of first trial August 15, 2002

 

          4.  Second trial April 16 – 21 2003

 

          5.  Conviction affirmed September 8, 2004

 

          6.  Filed Post Conviction Relief October 14, 2005

 

          7.  Post Conviction Relief denied December 2, 2005

 

          8.  Filed Appeal of denial January 3, 2006

 

 

Argument and Authority

 

 

1        The Oklahoma Post Conviction Relief act as enacted by the legislature is through authority of Oklahoma Statute Title 22 section 1080, etc. seq.

6

 

 

 

2         Following the rules of this court, and as proscribed by Title 22 0. S. 1080 etc. seq., this petitioner timely filed her appeal in this Honourable Court ,  hand delivered to the clerk, on January 3 2006, following an adverse ruling that was in error for reasons shown in the instant petition.

 

 

3        Title 22 O.S. sec. 1083 prescribes 30 days from docketing for the state to respond by answer or by motion.

 

 

4        To date the State of Oklahoma, through the offices of the Attorney General, who has been duly noticed has failed to respond and is now procedurally barred from response as a matter of law.

 

5    The petitioner by pleading, fact, and authority has informed and shown this Honourable Court the merit of her cause of action and the relief prayed in the instant application must be granted.

Conclusion and Prayer

 

 

 

This petitioner has well presented the various courts and now this Court , as well as the Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma, the Honourable Governor of this State, and the public with facts and evidence to support her claims of actually and factually innocent of any crime charged, and yet has lingered in harsh confinement for over five years.

 

The old legal adage attributed to Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes well expressed need for disposition in the instant matter;  “Justice delayed is justice denied.”

 

This petitioner is, without question, entitled to the relief prayed in her petition for Post Conviction Relief filed in this Court Jan 3 2006. The State of Oklahoma has failed in its duty to respond per 22 0.S. 1083, and thus, this petitioner has had Justice denied by delay.   She has shown in all pleading to be just what she is: ACTUALLY INNOCENT.  Further delay in the matter at bar would exacerbate her wrongful suffering. 

8

 

 

Therefore, premises considered, this petitioner now moves this Honourable Court for its summary disposition and judgment as a matter of law and Justice, and further prays the Court to bar the respondent from further pleadings as time barred, and finally prays this court to grant her prayer for relief as originally offered the District Court of Mayes County, and this Court on Jan 3 2006; that is to say, to order the Judgment and Sentence vacated and the petitioner ordered immediately released from custody in the instant matter. 

 

 

In the alternative, should this court find further evidence be needed to support her claims, an evidentiary hearing must be ordered pursuant to O.S. 1084, and Mrs. Schoonover would, if that be the case, move this Court to disqualify the trial judge, the Honorable Dynda Post, from presiding over such hearing, as it must be seen as clear that Judge Post would be far from impartial at such evidentiary hearing. 

 

The above is all prayed as a matter of law and a matter of Justice, and would serve Justice in the best light.

It is so prayed.  Respectfully submitted,
