 Truth is sometimes more shocking than fiction

 Our mission from God includes exposing the bias, fraud, and depravity that exists in most court proceedings that, in any way, involve a mother against a father - regardless if the situation is about child custody disputes through divorce or paternity, actions regarding child support, or allegations of any sort of abuse or neglect. Whether civil or criminal, the odds are usually fixed against one parent from the beginning - illegally, of course.

 And even if (in my own case, the mother) is already known as the actual perpetrator of wrongdoing (i.e., abusing the children...)... why, that doesn't matter, either... because, in Indiana, the "right" court will even conspire with her attorney to protect her, and also help bash the father with as much rape, brutality, and terrorism as it takes to intimidate the hell out of him. If he still doesn't give up, and tries to save his children from further abuse - not a problem... Just start helping the mother victimize the children even more! That'll show him who's boss... And, if that doesn't work, either - well, no matter. There's always false imprisonment...

 What about "Constitutional Rights", you say? Forget about it - because, this is Indiana, where God-given and federally-guaranteed constitutional rights often don't mean a thing in the state courts - ever - at least typically for the father...

 Case in point:

 Even certain members of the Indiana Attorney General's Office and our Indiana Court of Appeals didn't mind "looking the other way" when it came to county judges well-documented in tyranny to assist a mother and her attorney in committing, and getting away with, various felony crimes against a father, including attempted manslaughter. In fact, certain members of the Indiana Attorney General's Office and the Indiana Court of Appeals did not even hesitate to commit brazen fraud within official proceedings - even in the face of conclusive documentation - to shelter and conceal the criminal actions of not only the lower judges themselves, but also of the rampant acts of documented felony child abuse committed by children's mothers, and of how the lower court broke practically every rule in the book, in order to falsely imprison the father they knew was innocent!

 And, if this truth isn't already more shocking than fiction enough, how about adding that the very same Court of Appeals' ruling that fraudulently "affirms" this already-proven, criminally-sexist sham was authored by none other than Justice Patricia A. Riley - a woman who has been in charge of promoting "gender issues" for Indiana's entire legal "profession"...

 A brief background overview:

 A Hendricks County father was also a dedicated and mentoring community volunteer - for several years, a Boy Scouts leader and co-leader, soccer coach and assistant coach, chess club assistant coach, avid girls' softball booster, and etc. - well-known by many local schoolchildren and parents, and often hauling carloads of kids to out-of-town tournaments, campings, and field trips.

 Since 1998, he had been simultaneously struggling against corruption and prejudice in the local county court system, trying to protect his own children from ongoing abuse and neglect by their mother - some incidents so severe that hospitalizations were required... The local courts didn't appreciate him representing himself, trying to gain rightful custody of his children, and standing up to their criminal arrogance. But then, since they had illegally raped him of most of his money - time and again - he really didn't have much of a choice, and he was not going to sit idly by, and just let them succeed in various conspiracies with the mother to commit real estate fraud, and help her illegally evict her own children onto the streets, with nowhere to go - more than once - just so she could try to get away with stealing a house.

 The repeated infliction of trauma upon his children was so great, that he raised outcries of corruption again, and implored the mother's attorney to withdraw - her duty under law, after documented commissions of various crimes and general misconduct... However, the local powers were not going to allow any upstart "do-gooder" to rain on their parade. This was their county - not a democracy...

 Falsifying charges to have him arrested - again - they also revoked his bond (illegally, of course...) same false charge of "Felony Intimidation" (i.e., 'threatening' her attorney [writing a 10 page letter, listing her crimes and the law, and stating his authority to conduct a lawful citizen's arrest] to do something against her will [obey the clear and simple Indiana attorney Rules that mandate her withdraw from the case for committing fraud and etc.]), immediately after he had also filed proof of their crimes, in their own court, and had promised to soon file even more... Because he would represent himself, and not allow a locally-biased public defender sell him out, they also had to cut off his jail access to paper, pens, stamps and envelopes, to inhibit his ability to file pleadings in his defense. (The ONLY jail inmate out of all 220+ in their jail to be denied access...). Eventually, using a combination of coercion tactics, including multiple postponings of his trial, they forced him into pleading guilty to a non-existent crime, finally allowing immediate release in trade for getting their falsified conviction, thereby also avoiding the immediate possibility that he could prove his allegations of their corruption in front of a jury...

 A little over a year later, he filed for custody of his children, documenting the mother's never-ending abuse and neglect with over 250 attached photos, and again confronting the court with the fact that it must be willfully sheltering her child abuse - since, by its own reporting, it had known she was abusive - physically, verbally, and emotionally - from "day one"... clear back in 1998.

 Not too long after that, his girlfriend gave birth to his new son, and she and her two daughters moved in with him also. A very difficult birth, she abused the narcotic painkillers prescribed for her, swinging back and forth between psychosis and unconciousness, day after day, while he and his mother alternated tending to all six kids and the household chores, to allow plenty of time for her to recuperate from the hospital delivery complications.

 Eleven nights after the birth, still self-overdosing her narcotics, the girlfriend became violently angry with her 5-year-old daughter (remember the TV footage of the mother caught beating her little girl in the backseat of the white SUV parked at the mall???), and spanked the crap out of her, leaving serious bruises and contusions. His mother had also experienced the girlfriend beating the little girl seven days earlier, as well.

 Familiar with his ongoing, uphill battle against local corruption, for custody of his three older children, already delusional with fears that he and his mother were going to "take the baby away" from her, and knowing she had committed two serious acts of child abuse in front of them within the span of just one week's time, the girlfriend took pictures of her daughter's bruises the next morning, to "prove" that he had done it instead, caused a minor disturbance the following evening to trick the local police into helping her flee the scene of the crime, whereupon she immediately accused him of abusing her daughter, produced the photographic "proof", and - viola - he was falsely convicted, by the same court that already "had it out for him", and had just recently been confronted by him again... but not without breaking practically every rule and civil right in the book.

 The same court that had been knowingly sheltering crimes of child abuse by the mother of his three older kids, among other evil acts, had then also helped this psychotic girlfriend get away with her acts of child abuse, and to literally kidnap his infant son under false pretenses, and flee to another county, where she continues to defraud welfare to this very day...

 It turns out that the judge of this same county court was very nearly (and should have been) disbarred, back in 1990, for his continual retaliatory actions and abuse of power. When a jury is told that defendants "have the right to come [to court] and try to prove they are innocent", you have to ask yourself one question: When did we adopt the inverse theories of law that are standard abuse in the People's Republic of China?

 Conclusive Evidence of High Court Fraud

 Many specific issues of various illegalities, numerous violations of due process and other constitutional rights, as well as the blatantly biased and pre-existing corruption itself, were all raised on combined direct appeal of both false convictions. The errors were many, clearly documented, and proven in fact against the record. Rightfully, both convictions should have been immediately vacated. Of course, to do so would necessarily also be confirming that the lower county court was totally out of control. See the "Brief of Appellant" below, created and filed by the innocent defendant, Torm L. Howse.

 It appears that somebody knows somebody, and maybe asked to make sure that the real and many arguments were "overlooked", by blatantly ignoring the vast majority of truthful issues, purposefully misleading with confusion, intentionally defaming character with more false accusations, willfully deceiving a high court with several brazen lies, and stirring the poisonous mix with "arguments" about totally irrelevant matters that had absolutely nothing to do with the case in the first place. And, if it were not already such a serious injustice, the obvious incompetence of the State's "response" would be almost comical. See the "Brief of Appellee" below, filed by the deceptive Deputy Attorney General Monika P. Talbot.

 All of the incredible ignoring, misleading, defaming, deceiving, confusing, and serious errors made in Talbot's "response" were nailed "back to the stone age" in defendant Howse's "final word", also conclusively proving that he should be immediately released from unlawful and false imprisonment. See the "Reply Brief of Appellant" below, and you will know - without any doubt.

 Instead of obeying written law, basic morals, ethical truths, and the unquestionable victory of Howse's combined arguments and solid proof, the Court of Appeals chose to willfully disregard its primary, constitutionally-mandated duty of even "listening" to both sides before ruling, blatantly copying DAG Talbot's obvious (and already previously proven...) errors, lies, deceit, and confusion - adding even more disgusting defamation statements of things that never happened, never existed, and were not contained in any records... anywhere.

 They suspiciously also ignored the exact same majority of issues "neglected" by DAG Talbot. They suspiciously copied Talbot's exact same errors, also copying her arguments that were in direct opposition to their own previous decisions... They committed fraud...

 The simple truth is that the three Court of Appeals justices involved did not give a damn about the truth, the law, the facts, the actual record, constitutional rights, due process, false imprisonment, nightmarish crimes committed by other judges, or even their own duties to protect the innocent, and to uphold the law. After reviewing the "Memorandum Opinion" below, see the convicting truth that is plainly detailed in Howse's "Petition to Transfer" (from the Court of Appeals to the Indiana Supreme Court).

 It is a common public myth that judges, prosecutors, and other government officials are somehow "above the law", and "immune" from being held accountable for their actions... Nothing could be further from the actual truth. If they act outside the scope of their duties (like, breaking the law, for example...), they lose that qualified immunity, and are just as liable to civil ($$) and criminal prosecution as anyone else... In fact, there are many state and federal laws designed specifically to punish wayward government "servants".

 Sadly, the Indiana court system was revealed as notorious for the various harms, wrongs, frauds, and crimes committed by the trial courts and their attorney cronies, and in the rubberstamping at the higher courts. The sheer amount of fraud in just this one case begged the obvious question: How pervasive and widespread, exactly, is this problem?

 The Legal System already KNOWS it is really bad...

 Overburdened courts, along with the depravity of too many judges willing to break and violate the law, have become such a national, widespread epidemic sickness within legal proceedings everywhere, that the American Bar Association Commission on the 21st Century Judiciary has put together and released, on June 13th, 2003, a landmark 144-page report entitled, "Justice in Jeopardy". The news release/summary can be viewed here, and the full report is available via either the "Information" link at the bottom, or by going to the American Bar Association website at: www.abanet.org/media.

Spencer Walton, Jr., past (2000-2001) president of the Indiana State Bar Association, so aptly versed in his "President's Perspective" (December, 2000, issue of the Indiana legal profession magazine, Res Gestae: "At the core of public distrust and criticism of lawyers is that we do not tell the truth, and everyone but us realizes it!"
