Temper Tantrums    On The Bench

                 { The Star Performer  And The Prosecutor }

 

 

                                 KNIGHTS IN DIRTY ARMOUR    

                                     

                   " Temper Tantrums On The Bench "

   

              The Court of Criminal Appeals wrote in their unpublished decision that “Schoonover Did not commit the crime…and could not be charged with it.”

 

             That is crystal clear.

 

            At the public hearing for the dismissal of the illegal charge prosecutor Ramsey addressed Judge Post, “The Court of Criminal Appeals indicated they felt there was insufficient evidence to get a conviction.”

 

           This is another “misrepresentation” of the facts as to what they actually did say: “Schoonover did not commit the crime.”  One should not be surprised at this continuing gross misrepresentation of facts.  I find it extremely difficult to believe that Judge Post did not know that this statement of Mr. Ramsey was nothing short of a bare faced lie that he look “good” in the eyes of the public that cannot read exactly what the Court of Criminal Appeals did write as their decision is “not for publication.”

 

         Ramsey publicly advised Judge Post he was reluctantly declining prosecution because of “insufficiency of evidence” instead of the simple truth that “Schoonover did not commit the crime” and dismissal is in fact her only option because she had violated the Constitution of Oklahoma as well as the Constitution of our United States in criminally charging Schoonover with a crime she had to know was not committed.  By John Schoonover or anyone else!

           The courtroom was a theatre, Judge Post was the Star Performer and Prosecutor Charles Ramsey was her Leading Man.  It was an act put on for a public spectacle.  Judge Post could not help but know that she had made a grave error of law that no competent judge would make.  It was quite clear that she was distraught over the fact that the Court of Criminal Appeals had “slapped her hand” when, in inexcusable ignorance of State and Federal law, she sua sponte charged John after he had been tried, with a phantom crime that had not been committed and by law could not be charged with.  To add insult to injury concerning this criminally negligent act John himself had presented to at the trial the crystal clear caselaw and statutes written by the Supreme Court that explained to her in detail that she was knowingly committing a serious infraction of the law .

 

             It was an insult to her competency during the trial that a lowly common layman tells an egotistical judge she is wrong. 

 

           This perhaps shows her gross disconcertment towards all of those whom she rules.

 

            Tyrants typically pay no heed to peons and they are commonly without any interest in justice which takes a back seat to public image and when the higher court rebuked her for her act of tyranny she rebelled the only way she knew how:

 

           ‘Take it out on’, ‘show her wrath’ to a youthful bystander in the courtroom that could not suppress the relief she felt that her senior friend was finally being justly set free from the tyranny that had criminally separated and incarcerated John and his wife years earlier. 

 

            An older woman sitting next to the youth sounded a quiet “shhh” to the youth to quickly restore the solemn atmosphere and she too was yelled at by the angered judge.  The youth said to the judge while pointing to the older woman. “She didn’t do anything” which angered Judge Post even more and she raised to lean over the bench flaying her hand in a condemning manner first to the youth then to the senior and back again screaming, “don’t tell me what I saw” and shouting that she was going to throw both of them in them in jail.  This childish tantrum by a judge is inexcusable.

            Judge Post had expressed her disgust with the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals that I “Did not commit the crime” she had illegally charged me with and she simply could not accept the fact that she was wrong!

 

             I am confident that she remembered that I told her so at the Sentencing hearing when I looked her straight in the eye and declared that “I am guilty of nothing more than knowing my wife is (totally) innocent.”

 

             Judge Post had been so prejudiced by the rumors created by Ramsey’s chief investigator George Klatt and amplified by prosecutor  Charles Ramsey and spread by the media and Ramsey’s clever noumenon of deception in creating false memories and blinded to the fact that there is not forty five minutes between 6:33 and forty five minutes after six.  It is beyond my comprehension that a fifty year old Judge can look at an analog school clock and portend to read time but cannot subtract 33 from 45 and see Charles Ramsey’s blatant lie.  A fundamental error any competent judge would not have made.

 

            “We have to let him go because there is nothing else we can charge him with.”    [This is not true.  If any crime had been committed I could have been charged with “Accomplice” or “Aiding and abetting”!]

 

          That statement alone shows eagerness not in the

interest of  justice  but  eagerness to seek an excuse to 

punish.   What animal on this  earth  seeks  excuses  to

torture their own kind?  What normal animal does that? 

 

         “Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is great”

Such a judge certainly cannot be trusted to administer justice to anyone.

 

           Judge Post screamed:  “We still have a dead child

        She is dead wrong!

 

            What we have here is a man whom the Court of Criminal Appeals declared did not commit a crime Judge Dyanda Post sent him to prison for!

            What we still have in prison is an innocent woman who dropped the phone and ran to her child to find him lying on a ceramic tile floor where he had fallen! 

 

             What we have here is a man who has lost his only son to an accident and has spent forty four months in torture because of a perjured probable Cause Affadavit initiated by vengeance and perpetuated by the defective ego of a publicity seeking sadistic prosecutor and judge!

 

           What we have here is a prejudiced judge with clinically definable Adult Attention Deficit Disorder in denial of the testimony of Mrs. Nora Stanart, the State’s the ear witness to the accident, “I’ve got to go, mom, something’s happened to Ben.”  

 

           What we have in prison is an innocent woman who lost her only son to an accident and has spent forty months thus far and likely half that much again in torture because the perjured probable Cause Affadavit failed and prosecutor Charles Ramsey had to railroad someone as a scapegoat lest the public discover his gullibility of believing that perjured Probable Cause Affadavit by his George Klatt. 

 

          What we have is two innocent parents who lost their only child to an unwitnessed unforeseeable accident. Torn to pieces by the loss of their child, torturously torn apart, and are being tormented to death by  the tyrannical criminals in the Mayes County justice system that was created to protect us all.

 

 

 

December 12, 2004.

 

 

 

        Marie lost her appeal; typical of an indigent individual in the court system.  The reasons are primarily rendered ineffective assistance of counsel.  Misrepresentations of fact and just plain misquoting of case law by attorney general Nancy Connley {i.e.; confusing the word “related” with “included”}. Marie’s appellate counsel did not rebut such improprieties…dictated by the state that she (Catrina Conrad Legler) is not allowed by the statutes to do so for an indigent client.

        Part XIV will require weeks of research and preparation to show in detail how and why Marie lost her grasp for justice.  She is innocent of any wrong doing and without help will spend the rest of her natural[?] life in prison…simply because she did not have any money to buy justice. 

 

       I, John Schoonover, now out and unshackled, am supplying that money necessary to appeal the Oklahoma court’s erroneous and unjust decision to the 10th  Circuit Federal Court in Denver where justice will prevail as it is not subject to favouritism of a small town, but powerful, tyrant. 

 

         Though no longer gagged by the system I have been warned and threatened not to write what you have just read; not to make waves, not to ruffle feathers.  Not to exercise my right of free speech.  I have been threatened with harassment and even lawsuits for slander.  What slander?  I’ve told the truth!  I do run the risk of being  “silenced.”

 

          I’ve dug deep.  So deep that some proof is buried in the past.  I cannot prove that one of the key figures was one of Mayes most prolific crack manufacture and dealer.  That teenagers at Witaker Childrens Home in Pryor were, in 1975, at least, given his cocaine for sexual favours.  The dealers that I have come into contact with in prison have given me many names …but one can say, “consider the source” and it is true that the probability of resentment toward certain officials would tend to have a questionable influence on what I was told.  Two many pieces of the puzzle have been ensconed and I cannot present a clear and complete uncontrovertable picture of the drug cartel in Mayes County.  For me to print all of what I have learned, some of which I cannot prove, this would of necessity be a work of fiction.  Fiction will not free my innocent wife; thus this is not a work of fiction.  The tyrants I have written of exist and Marie and I are not the only individuals who have succumbed to their tyranny.  These are small tyrants in a small town.  Tyrants like these is why the Constitution was written:  To protect us all from them. 

 

          Forty four months I spent caged before the Mayes County tyrants were ordered to release me.  How much longer for Marie?  I was there.  My “Sentencing Statement” says it all.  Almost.  At that time I did not know that there was a 44mm fracture that occurred after Ben’s MRI and before autopsy. 

 

        How desperate will tyrants get to cover their ass?
