         Motion To Quash

    

 

MOTION TO QUASH

 

 

Comes now John Schoonover, the Defendant, and prays this Honorable Court to vacate with prejudice the Information filed by the State through the District Attorney of Pawnee County for valid reasons to wit:

 

The State of Oklahoma has filed an Information in this matter in a hasty and obviously unprepared irresponsible manner.

 

 

34

 

This very office that brought this action answers its telephone, “This is the District Attorney’s office, in constant search of the truth.” [0829 hours December 28]

 

Do we as a nation of law consider it seeking truth while having a citizen arrested with no factual basis for the charge filed by Information, that is to say, abuse or neglect, O.S. 10 7115?

 

The Information herein filed states this Defendant did “Committed the crime of Injury to Minor Child, a felony, by wilfully (sic) and maliciously injuring or using unreasonable force upon one Elan Lee Wheeler…by breaking the child’s arm resulting in a spiral fracture of his arm…”

 

 

1.   There is no evidence of any such willful and malicious           action by the Defendant.

 

2.         The truth, investigated by the State, at no time showed   or purported any willful or malicious harm. In fact          only a              miniscule moment of inadvertent negligence at    the worst can        and has been shown.

 

3.         The state in its Information uses inflammatory       language        when it stated “…by breaking the child’s   arm…” indicating      some active participation in the      questionable injury by the    Defendant.

 

4.         There can be no cure for the prejudice the             Defendant      would suffer by any reading of the            Information, and         there exists not a scintilla of evidence presented this             court to corroborate such charge.

 

5.         This court allowed Information to be entered with no        evidence, a clear error.

 

6.         Proceeding with the Information as charged with no        evidence to support the charge, and the damage done          to a citizen by libeling him with a charge in the nature      of the             matter at bar is an irreparable harm, and with       no        supporting evidence being presented on hearing           this      Motion forthcoming the Information must be          quashed.

 

 

35

 

The Defendant further suggests that the prosecution of the Information, as charged, drastically differing from the facts and previous statements and allegations by the State, may be seen as influenced by a party not interested  as a matter of law in this matter, and thus be seen as vengeful prosecution. The Defendant would          ask the State and this Court to not only drop prosecution, but as a matter of seeking truth, investigate such action by outside parties. 

 

 

For reasons given herein as follows:  1.,  The damage    done this Defendant already by false accusation;  2., Exacerbation of such by further action; 3.,  the prejudice by Information as stated would cause the defendant irreparable damage by further action.

 

 

 

The liability to the state for malicious prosecution; and the general lack of any evidence to support the charge given this Court for obtaining the warrant for arrest, this Defendant moves to quash the Information and dismiss the charge herein with prejudice to avoid further improper consequences to the Defendant or to the State.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

                                          John Schoonover

                   “It was a bright spring day of April 1999.  Tipper and I had taken our son to the season opening game in Baltimore.  We had a wonderful time and as we left the stadium, my son’s hand was in mine.  Albert was just six and already loved baseball.  We stopped at the curb with some neighbors after a long walk toward the lot where our car was parked.  Suddenly one of Albert’s friends who was walking just in front of us with his dad bolted off the sidewalk and took off running as fast as he could across the busy one way street, even thought traffic was heading toward him half block away.  Then in the next instant, with no warning, my son pulled his hand out of mine and jumped off the curb running to chase his friend.  But just before he got to the far lane he was hit by a speeding car.  I watched what no parent should ever see.  My son was knocked into the air with a horrible thud and then hit the pavement 30 feet away from the point of impact scraping the pavement until he came to rest motionless and silent….Waiting to hear the rescue siren was the most excruciating six minutes of my life.  Albert had suffered a concussion, a broken collar bone, broken ribs, a compound fracture of his thighbone and massive internal injuries including a ruptured spleen as well as bruised lung and pancreas and fractured kidney.”

          My son, I would ask: Does that make Senator Gore any less negligent than me turning away for a few seconds? 

 

37

          Such unforeseen accident had never happened with Senator Gore and his son before; you had never given me a clue that you were capable of maneuvering so quickly before.  What has happened to the 14th Amendment and “Equal Protection under the law?”

 

          It is fortunate for the Gore family that Oklahoma’s D.H.S. with Mikah McCray was not at the hospital to greet Al and Tipper Gore with an emergency protective order and immediately take custody of little Albert as surely she could claim that Al, with all his intelligence and faculties in tact was not momentarily negligent by not having an iron grip on his son’s hand but deliberately let it go so that his son would be maliciously and intentionally injured by the speeding traffic.  His motive would be…?  I’m wondering what “motive” of mine she will claim?  Senile dementia?  Recent ‘mini’ strokes caused by illegal confinement and inadequate medical care in D.O.C.?  A cranial injury half century ago? 

 

          My Dear Elan, while I was in prison waiting for the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to overturn the illegal conviction I met a quiet little old man, Leroy Hayes.  We got along quite well.  He was a reader.  Frail as he was, that is about all he could do, read.  It was not difficult to discover why he was in prison.  Among his many illegal smuggling activities was that of human flesh.  Children.  He bought, cheap, and sold, high, children.  Mostly foreign children and sold mostly for child pornography and sex slaves.  He told me of one young girl in particular that he sold to a wealthy aged man, for a rather high price…doesn’t matter why the man bought her what happened to her…but I will tell you anyway.  She was not sold into a perverted slavery; the old man simply wanted someone to leave his estate to.   Babies command a higher price.

 

          Babies like you.  They are kidnapped every day.  There was a corrections officer that had a ‘sort of’ “baby farm” consisting of, not unlike Hitler’s, but of ‘captive’ mothers to be…pregnant inmates.  What better cheap source for saleable babies?  She never got less than $10,000 a baby.  The pregnant inmates, with plenty of “time” on their hands, were helpless to do anything to prevent the taking of their babies.  How can a caged inmate protest?

 

 

38

          What are you worth?  A perfect child.  No medical problems.  A demeanor that cannot be beat.  All that needs to be done is get rid of your parents.  My son, your mother has no means to support you.  She presents no problem to DHS.  Your father does presents a problem to DHS.  He has the means to support you.  What better way to get rid of him than to accuse him of child abuse?  He is 70 years old with medical problems.  If we can get him ‘back in prison’ a two-fold problem is solved, not just one. He has advertised for an attorney to file suit against the State for his illegal conviction and confinement of four years!   We can not only save the State a substantial sum of money but, and I am sure Mikah McCray has not thought of it, but she could make a substantial sum under the table from the right buyer.

 

          I am not suggesting that Mikah McCray has designs on becoming a flesh peddler but the door is open and the temptation cannot be denied.  One only has to see the “before and after” photographs of you to see that she is not concerned with your welfare by taking you from me.  After Mr. Robertson does her bidding what is to stop her?  It certainly would not be the first time a DHS employee ‘arranged’ for the ‘adoption’ of a ‘deprived’ child and I can no way supply the cash ransom she could demand.  Al Gore could.  Mikah McCray could have made a killing if she could have gotten her hands on little Albert.

 

          It is far more practical to take children from those of limited resources than those of wealth and status.
