Knights in Dirty
Armour
" Silence
Him.
Cut
Communication "
John
and Marie Schoonover remained in prison awaiting the second
decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
John has
been diagnosed with severe triple coronary artery disease, with an
occluded left carotid artery; he has experienced strokes and
myocardial infarctions, and frequent angina with cyanosis with
premature atrial and ventricular contractions and
brachycardia. He is
exhibiting symptoms of kidney dysfunction. John’s health is
continuing accelerating deterioration.
John had
served the required sentence with outstanding reviews in all
categories, warranting earned parole as of 31 July
2003.
Edna
Thompson at the prison reception center had made a mistake in
calculating John’s “time served”. She somehow allowed over
four
hundred and eight (408)
days served to be overlooked in her
calculations.
Several
officials, the D.O.C., and the Parole Board advised John that
Deana Barnes, the parole investigator at the prison, was
responsible for investigating and correcting such errors as
this. John wrote
Deana Barnes three letters requesting she correct the error. John’s first two letters
were ignored and his third was answered with a refusal to
investigate and the threat of a misconduct if further attempt was
made to correct the error, and “passed the
buck”.
Ten
letters to others during the next ten months, and an astute
employee, C. Rickman in Records, recognized the error made by Ms
Thompson, immediately corrected it, and commented, “It should have
been figured in in the first place”.
Poor
math and dereliction of duty does not qualify as a Knight in Dirty
Armour. However,
Deanna Barnes, in ignoring statutes that mandate investigation
when requested, is incompetence that resulted in John serving
“double jeopardy” for over 408 days. Thirteen and one half
months superfluous confinement – added to an illegitimate
conviction.
It was a
sardonic quirk of fate favoring Ramsey’s lust for punishment
beyond that levied by the jury and Judge
Post.

May
19th, 2004.
It would appear that the DOC does not appreciate John’s
exercise of our First Amendment Right – that of free speech in
exposing a wrong doing.
On this date, Major Arnold, Chief of Security, terminated
John’s phone privileges – even to his lawyer (right
to counsel) – and mail started ‘getting lost’, thus impeding
necessary editing of this time-sensitive work. Is it coincidence that
this came at a crucial time in Marie’s
appeal?
The late
Attorney General Patrick Crawley opposed our first appeal. Quoting contradicting
statements:
“The
State failed to disprove defendant’s explanation of the child’s
injuries.”
“Nora testified Ben told her at 6:30 that John
was outside watering the
flowers.” At the
conclusion of that conversation, Ben took off
running and the conversation with Marie terminated
when Marie said,
“I’ve
got to go, Mom.
Something’s happened to Ben”. The next thing Nora knew
was that they were in
the hospital (19 miles from the residence) at 7:00
pm.
Patrick
Crawley adds: “This
is direct evidence that the pair was present when the toddler’s
head was busted
open”.
The
collective statements of Doctors DeLong, Gietzen, Fell, Barton,
Block, Krouse, and nurses Gene Williams and Jerrie Childers was
that there was no visible signs of injury. Doctors Barton, Block and
Krouse testified to the 12mm fracture confirming the radiologists
report of a 12mm fracture in Ben’s occipital and no other
fractures. Our Benjamin’s head was not “busted
open”!
These
testimonies in and of themselves are contrary facts to what
appears to be Mr. Crawley’s gross misstatement of evidence;
potentially flagrant misconduct by Mr. Patrick
Crawley.
To
support this accusation, one need only view the autopsy
photographs presented of the interior of Ben’s skull with the
entire parietal removed, and see the single 12mm fracture
in the occipital, which is visible (barely) only from the
inside.
Patrick
Crawley was not an evil man.
He did not misstate what he read of Dr Distefano’s autopsy
report, but he was two days out of time in the chronology of
events.

When
Oklahoma Indigent Defense Attorney Katrina Conrad Legler referred
in Marie’s Brief in Chief dated February 2nd, 2004, to
fractures up to two inches (48mm, four times what was testified
to in open trial by all
expert witnesses and what is in the radiologist’s report),
John immediately questioned how could such a mistake be made. The only plausible
guess/explanation was an inexperienced typist! This must be corrected
quickly! This is when
telephone communications were terminated for
John.
John was
mailed the written statement of Dr. Distefano. This fracture did exist –
but not when the radiologist x-rayed Ben upon his arrival
at St. Francis!
“It is nowhere in the medical records. I can’t find this anywhere
from the previous trial.”
Ramsey
knew it existed.
“Brains squishing out the top of his head.” He cannot help but know it
was not there
when Ben entered St Francis Hospital. But it was there when Ben
left St.
Francis Hospital.
The goal
of the medical personnel at St Francis is to save lives, not
mutilate bodies. No
St. Francis personnel is responsible for what evil was done to
Benjamin.
Ben was
surrounded by people who loved him. Including the nurses. Ben was never alone until
one person ordered the final group of seven out of the room and
closed the door and drew the curtains securing his privacy with
Ben. Why was this
necessary? Who would
need privacy and to do what, that could not be done if someone was
watching?
Could it
be one who would contort a dieing child like a pretzel for the
purpose of taking such grotesque photographs of Benjamin on the
hospital bed that are repugnant to human decency, that evil one
would have no scruples to produce in a cadaver a custom fracture
that Ramsey would use to give Ben’s devastating accident the
appearance of a heinous murder? Perjuring the Probable
Cause Affidavit pales to such an evil
act.
Asp how
and when this non accidental fracture could have been deliberately
inflicted upon our Benjamin and why it was
done.
Will Mr.
Ramsey now attest for his friend: The Statute of Limitations
has expired for bringing to justice this Knight in Dirty
Armour?
