RESTITUTION/ACCOUNTABILITY
October 13,
2006
October 29,
1999, shortly after 1830 hours, my adopted son experienced a fatal
accident. It was ear
witnessed by two; no one saw it happen; it was
proven no one was in the room with Benjamin. It was proven I was not
even in the house.
Benjamin
Michael Stanart was to be Benjamin Michael Schoonover in four
short days; the final adoption decree was scheduled for signing by
Judge Goodpaster of Craig County.
Benjamin
was the result of a union of a drug/alcohol addict with a history
of epilepsy and Laura Stanart, who, unlike the sperm depositor,
did not have any history of epilepsy but was on medication for
other potentially hereditary medical problems.
Some
problems out of the ordinary were expected from Benjamin for which
we were prepared but did not encounter with any degree of
difficulty.
Physicians had diagnosed him as a fetal alcohol baby; any
records of him also being a ‘crack’ baby have been well concealed;
the fact that he should have been on prescribed medication was
also concealed. Our
love for Benjamin far outweighed any potential obstacles and with
common sense sugar restrictions there were no problems.
A thorough
examination of the facts leads to only one conclusion: Benjamin climbed up on an
item of furniture and either had an epileptic seizure or lost his
balance and fell backward onto a concrete hard floor shortly after
1830 hours October 29, 1999.
Benjamin died after I was told by Dr. Philip Barton, of
Saint
Francis Hospital, to sign permission to
disconnect life support October 31, 1999. I committed no ‘crime,’
but will live with that error for life.

Mayes
County officials George Klatt and Charles Ramsey publicly
announced their version:
“John confessed to killing Benjamin, John tortured Benjamin
with a pitchfork and beat him to death with a ball bat,” suborned
testimony from a known schizophrenic mental outpatient that I made
an audio tape that would prove “Marie did it,” suborned testimony
from one with several outstanding felony warrants that “Marie was
outside feeding the chickens and John was inside the house with
Benjamin when the incident happened.”
Charles
Ramsey sanctioned Joan Farbro to pace back and forth in the hall
among the jurors waving her arms and ranting “John did it, John
did it, I know John did it.”
Fine. As
Charles Ramsey believes that then why is he
keeping Marie in Prison?
I was the
one charged with confessing to first degree murder.
Four long
years I wasted in prison before being ordered released via a
statement from the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals that John
“Schoonover did not commit the crime and could not be charged with
it.” Quite sufficient
proof that I had been Wrongfully Convicted and wrongfully confined
for a crime not committed.
Adding up
only the monetary losses for Marie and I comes to right at a $half
million. Marie is
still in prison going on her sixth year. I have clearly shown with
my publication of Knights
in Dirty Armour I & II that she is absolutely
innocent.
Thanks to
Tulsa’s fine attorney, R. Thomas Seymore, March of 2006 a jury
awarded Arvin McGee Jr. $1 million per year for each year he was
wasted behind prison walls Wrongfully Convicted for crimes he did
not commit.
R. Thomas Seymore,
attorney, said, “Thank God for the American jury system.” No comment from the “City
of Tulsa” that is ‘sorry’ for what
happened to Arvin McGee Jr. in 1987 when he was wrongfully
convicted and has spent the last 14 years of his life in prison
for crimes he did not commit.

Arvin McGee Jr. was
awarded $1 million per year spent behind bars plus $500,000. A fair settlement for the
deliberate indifference and violations of our Constitution to
obtain the illegal conviction of this innocent man.
Arvin
Carsell McGee proved law enforcement entities conspired to violate
his and his son’s civil rights by abuse of due process, false
arrest, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional
distress. Exactly the
same offenses Mayes County officials committed
against both Marie and I!
The jury appeared to
follow the footsteps of a Chicago federal jury who, in
2001, awarded $15 million to a man who wrongly spent 15 years
behind bars for a murder he did not commit.
A fair restitution and
the only restitution available: Dollars. Though Judges like Dynda
Post and prosecutors like Charles Ramsey play God and take lives
they have not God’s power to restore the lives they have
destroyed.
$1 million
per year. Am I
entitled to any less?
I am
nearing 70 years of age.
A chronic cardiac patient with terminal diabetes manifested
in prison. Keeping only half for myself I do not know where I
could spend even that much on myself in what little time I have
left on this earth.
Mayes County tax payers can surely
afford to pay for their Charles Ramsey’s mistakes, can’t
they? Ironic, as
Charles Ramsey resides in Rogers County, he won’t be held
responsible for a dime!
He probably
now, too late, realizes he should not have supported George
Klatt’s Perjured Probable Cause Affidavit.
In a few
days I will be showing the Northern District how Gilda Marie
Schoonover was also Wrongfully Convicted by Mayes
County’s
Charles Ramsey and Wrongfully Condemned
by Judge
Dynda Post. Pending
is the exhumation of Benjamin for which a second autopsy will
clearly show that the injuries Charles Ramsey created via Dr.
Barton and illustrated in his closing argument for which Marie was
convicted of inflicting to kill Benjamin simply never existed.

But for now
I ask only that Mr. Seymore or a like qualified attorney with
intestinal fortitude contact me for the purpose of Just
Restitution for my
State proven Wrongful Conviction and incarceration. Logic dictates that one
cannot even be an “accessory,” as Judge Dynda Parks Post illegally
charged, to something that never happened.
Respectfully,
John
Schoonover
