36-37 Courthouse Forum – The Judge

July 25, 2008 my son Jonathan a Hart accidentally shot his wife. He was scared to death and he fled to Texas ( reason for fleeing-past experience here with cops) . He was arrested in Louisiana on the 28th on his way back to Georgia to turn self in and take his chances on how the cops would treat him. He called me at work and I called 911.

His trial was changed two-three times. The trial started July 13th 2009 ( 2 day picking jurors) then had 3 short witness Tuesday afternoon around 2:30-3 pm on the 14th of July 2009.

The trial was a circus. Our side (defense) was NOT allowed to talk about law enforcement involvement in their lives( Johnny and Stephanie's) the judge did that. the trial continued on the DEFENSE done a great job public defender Charlie Brown and his own investigator and team. witness on state side was allowed to say whatever they wanted it was OK but the defense side was told" that's hear say".

The investigator mark Taylor botched up the crime scene investigation-proved that when they had him on the stand. white county sheriffs office DID NOT let GBI come in to investigate!!!!!

Johnny's wife was a 911 operator here in this county-she had several affairs with officers but only ones name was allowed to be mentioned at trial because they had text messages between Stephanie and Clint that was sexual our side had them too (defense) that was the only cops name allowed to be said.

Then Johnny's PREVIOUS Attorney (that he fired) was telling confidential information to the assistant DA and that man took it to the defense attorney . The judge called this attorney in for questioning- he was mad about a bar association complaint we filed against him BUT this attorney Gerald W. Bruce IS the GODFATHER to the judge's children!

The judge Lynn Alderman was on a case in Nov 2007 when my son Johnny got arrested because they were drinking and Stephanie wanted to leave in her car and my son took her car keys put them in his back pocket and would not let her have them so he was arrested for FALSE IMPRISONMENT and Steph threatened to call her dad ( which is ANOTHER county cop) to have him beat Johnny up cause he wouldn't let her have her car keys so Johnny walked over unplugged the telephone cord from the wall. Steph told him she

called her work 911 center Johnny was charged with interference with 911 call. Nov 2007.

Well they held Johnny in jail long enough for Steph to move her stuff out of the house. me and my husband had an awful time getting Johnny released but we did. Johnny was not allowed back at his own house, it took till Dec 04 2007 to get him back into his OWN house. The false imprisonment charge dropped- the state knew they did not have the evidence for that charge and he got 12 months probation for the interference with 911 call.

On July 25 2008 accident happened-the probation was revoked. NOW back to the trial- his dad and I were kept out till closing arguments but we had family in trial days the whole time. At trial they SHOWED it was accident by dummies and rods and the states autopsy guy- proved it in front of their eyes. The judge put on jury's paper felony murder, murder, aggravated assault and two counts possession in the commission of a felony and only let the defense put in voluntary manslaughter AS A FELONY- the judge wanted to make sure my son lost his freedom and she did just that.

She replaced a juror and then shortly before the verdict was in guilty felony murder and aggravated assault and commission of felony possession . The judge smiled at my son when she was handed the verdict sheet and she said GOOD LUCK MR Hart and sentenced him to life plus five years. When the verdict was being read the judge was telling everyone to not yell out but then she looked at ME and said NO CRYING or these officers will arrest you. She is hateful. If you Google judge Lynn Alderman she is bias and pro-prosecution!!!.

We are seeking help to get this overturned. the defense attorney has asked for a new trial so the judge can right her wrongs. But this is a small town and the cops and DAs and judges all have their circles and we are NOT in them. We are poor and NOT originally from GEORGIA and they KNOW this too. BUT they done my son SOOO wrong here.

The intentional murders here got less time then my son but one guy. GBI was called out on all those cases but NOT my sons. They did NOT want GBI to expose their involvement with my sons wife and what they done to him Nov 2007 to come out on them-THE GOOD OLE BOY SYSTEM here.

MY son is NO MURDERER but they sentenced him stiffer than one. This

was A TRAGIC horrible accident that my son has to live with the rest of his life with and he LOVES his wife still. THIS county done him wrong because Stephanie was ONE OF THEIR OWN!!! IT WAS PERSONAL and John Murphy investigator for white county sheriffs department MADE a promise to Stephanie's dad that he would prosecute to the fullest of the law!!! I have that in a report in writing. Never was this investigated as an accident. It was murder from the very start in this county's eyes and mouth!!!!

A newspaper has all their talk calling my son a murderer. and it is not right. This trial WAS UNJUST AND UNFAIR!!!! It was awful and they are destroying my sons life and taken it away from him and us. There is no JUSTICE in white county Cleveland Georgia. Clint Bennett was fired Before My sons trial for sexually harassing female inmates ( Stephanie was involved with him- the text messages I mentioned) another cop Larry Carlyle RECENTLY got fired for beating up a mentally handicap inmate ( He had Johnny arrested in Nov 2007) HE let Ken Eggerton haul Johnny in while Larry stayed with Stephanie.

These two cops were testifying at this trial July 2009. but Larry's fired now. Coincidence? I wonder, it seems this is a clean up around here job in case new trial gets awarded. Strange huh? Any way that's the involvement .

When this shooting happened my son scared of these cops here and ran-with reason to. Lets just say our cops are NOT trustworthy here and WE KNOW it. Fear made him flee and to tell you the truth I would of too because I do not trust law enforcement officers here myself.

If there is anyone out there that can help my son PLEASE- it would be GREATLY appreciated. He is in a county jail FOR now but could be transported ANYTIME though. I just pray to GOD for help.

Thank you sincerely Jennifer Hart ( Jonathan's mother)

P.S. NOV 2007 Stephanie called ME at 3 am and said Johnny's been arrested and I asked her why she told me she DID NOT Know and asked me to go get him out. BUT she done it and she knew it and the cops told my husband and I she asked for two days to move her stuff out. Anyways that is done and over BUT January 2008 she moved back into the house withJohnny but the state wants to deny that and did at trial but I have an affidavit that Steph signed in 2007 THAT SHE WAS NOT AFRAID OF JOHNNY

AND HE WOULD NOT HURT HER OR ANYONE. But they did not let good stuff like that come out at trail the judge would stop it!!! UNFAIR AND UNJUST!!! WHAT CAN WE DO?

I sent this letter twice to the news channel fox 5 here in Atlanta Georgia and no response. Why do they not want to tell side two of story? I would like your thought on this please? Thank you sincerely Jenniffer Hart

About the Jonathan Hart murder case-it was looked at as murder from the very beginning by authorities of White County sheriff's office. GBI was on hold to be called in to investigate, the case, the crime scene but they were never called in to do so.

Stephanie was 5'2" tall. Jonathan is 5'8" tall. The bullet hole was 7'3" from the floor to the hole were exited. The space they were in was 2' 1/2" (max.) wide when he ran into her with gun pointed up, it accidentally went off, she was answering a text from her boyfriend Clint Bennett (whom worked for WCSO) White County sheriffs office she turned around and bumped the gun barrel.

Yes, he ran out of state, but he WAS coming back to turn himself in to WCSO Cleveland Georgia when he was picked up in Louisiana. But if you check you will see why he ran= scared!! She was a 911 dispatcher for White County. SHE WAS ONE OF THEIR OWN. In 2007 He was arrested for false imprisonment and interfering with 911 calls.

Here you have 2 under age kids drinking at home fussing as husband and wife as married people do she wanted to leave and he took her car keys. She then said she was going to call her dad Jeff Haslup (a Clarkesville GA cop) (a threat at her husband) so he went over and unplugged the phone but soon learned she had called her work 911 center.

Officers Ken Egerton and Larry Carlyle came out Arrested Jonathan. Ken Egerton hauled him in. Someone had to be the aggressor and taken in. Judge Lynn Alderman was on this 2007 case. Now back to trial- John Murphy(investigator) quoted to Jeff Haslup (Stephanie’s father) told him” that Iwould prosecute this case to its fullest" The judge Lynn Alderman(on this case too)replaced jurors.

Everything on defense side (that Stephanie had told us) was hearsay but on states side it was testimony-allowed (what Stephanie had told). The previous lawyer Gerald W. Bruce (Jerry) was fired by Jonathan around JAN or FEB 2008 by letter thru mail. Gerald was telling privileged information to assistant DA Chris Foss about the gun and asst. DA MR FOSS took it to

defending lawyer Charlie Brown. Judge Lynn Alderman called in Mr. Bruceto question him. Mr. Bruce was upset about a bar complaint filed by Jonathan Hart. NO waiver was ever signed by Jonathan for Mr. Bruce to discuss case to anyone. Now their is a second complaint into the bar on Mr.Bruce. First one they said no found grievance. Second one waiting on a reply.

The time the verdict was read the judge informed everyone no shouts of joy, no talking and looked at me Jonathan's mother and said no crying or these officers will arrest you. (Officers standing around courtroom) THERE is SO much the public does not know about this case and trial because they know when the citizens would read it they would know the truth of an accident and the courts would not get their verdict they want but the citizens would probably be someone on the jury.

Citizens of White County are being misled so when the second trial comes they already in their minds have a verdict BEFORE any evidence is heard. SO my son Jonathan Hart will NEVER get a fair trial in this county or possibly this state and will probably get same verdict of life plus 5 years.

The truth needs to be told and heard. TO be fair and just is that not what our legal system is all about? - THE TRUTH AND FAIR JUSTICE? THE autopsy man Dr. Posey even demonstrated how this was an accident with dummies and rods so did Jonathan Hart and the verdict still went the states way. TELL me what is fair and just here? Sincerely Robert J. Hart and Jenniffer J. Hart (PARENTS)

Attachment of story. Do you want to hear the other side now?

Thank you.

SincerelyJenniffer Hart.

One final note: A picture of Jonathan and Stephanie Hart taken at Pigeon Forge, TN. At the old time photography place was on the wall in the house above the fireplace (of Jonathan holding a rifle) taken on 9/08/07 ( their one year anniversary) when the crime scene video was taped but that picture has disappeared. What happened to this picture and why? Defense lawyer asked the question " Where is this picture?" NO ONE had the answer, at trial.

Today picture is still missing.

Mr. John Murphy stated he found several other weapons (at scene). Where are these several other weapons? John Murphy told Robert J. Hart that the muzzle loader (out from under Jonathan's bed in case at the house (the scene) was at the sheriff's office for SAFE keeping. Where is the muzzle loader now? I asked for it back it was NOT part of evidence in case was NOT tagged as so. So who has the black powder muzzle loader gun now? Where are the other personal belongings taken from the house, not tagged as evidence? I called WCSO on it no one has gotten back to me as of yet.

It is very pleasing to learn of your interest in my situation. I will try to give full details of everything, though I may miss something's due to so much in it. I apologize because this will be a long letter. I will give you everything that helps and hurts.

I am not a perfect man, but I am honest. I will explain all technical and court stuff first. Then I'll explain exactly what happened, and how this is accidental. This is a case pertaining to the death of my wife, a local 911 dispatcher, Stephanie Dianne Hart.

First we have the crime scene specialist Mark Taylor, and lead investigator John Murphy with the white county sheriff's office. They chose NOT to call in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on the scene. The G.B.I. has an office close by. WCSO (White County Sheriff's Office) usually used them on such cases, even same style case the same year.

John said Taylor did the whole scene, J. Murphy just assisted. They produced a 2 page report (supplemental report) of the scene. This was the only report ever done. They took pictures, and made a video. During investigation they missed 3 junk bullets in the trash can, and an empty bullet box. They collected a fired .40 cal. Cartridge and an unfired cartridge from living room. Cut hole out of sheet-rock when it was clear the bullet exited the house. Then they retrieved bullet from awning, collected phones, and a set of Divorce papers. The victim’s phone was on ground with the back and battery popped off. Showing it was dropped. I'll explain further on. They left the scene 4 hours after arrival; they issued warrants on NCIC for murder, not homicide. They didn't clean the scene until months later.

I was picked up in Louisiana a few days later, coming back to White County, Georgia to turn myself in. I was extradited back to White County. I hired a private attorney named Gerald Bruce. He was terminated by me around Feb. 08 for client neglect. He had done absolutely nothing, other than waive a committal hearing. He put in for a physic evaluation, when it's clear I'm sane. I put a bar complaint on him. When we got the findings from the bar page 2 of his response was missing. They denied any further action. When asked of a missing page they simply say their not reopening the complaint.

The second week of trial, he was present to view the trial. He sat behind us with assistant district attorney Christopher Voss. In front of him was Public defender Courtney Bradley. In which Bruce disclosed privilege information to Voss. Voss brought this to our attention.

They were put on the stand. Voss said Bruce told him the location of the firearm used. Bruce said he could not remember, and then said I never told him. Of course I told him. I trusted him, cause I used him successfully before. I even tried to get him to trade the firearm for a bond. I have discussions of this recorded with his paralegal Karli Kimmel, while housed to Hall county jail. Also all their testimonies are on record. We could not inquire for because the judge Lynn Alderman protected him. Bruce is Alderman the children's Godfather.

I later inquired a public defender, Charles Brown. We had no more money after paying for Bruce. Assisting Brown was chief assistant Jeane Davis, and Private Investigator Todd Dawson. T. Dawson had to produce all evidence, because Authorities did not. This man is an extremely talented Investigator.

A personal friend and attorney Humberto Izquierdo Jr. gave money to pay for our own medical examiner, to reconstruct the scene. We did not use her, because we got it from the autopsy man, Dr. Posey.

We have a weapons expert who knows SKS gun personally. He's been with

me and fired it. He is Chief Petty Officer Bradley Wayne Dickey with the United States Navy. He is my uncle. Unfortunately he could not attend. He did produce an opinion statement of how "touchy" the trigger was. He's an expert from 14+ years with the U.S.N. I feel.

When it came to jury selection it was out of 250 people. We picked the 40+ quickly. Judge chose pane 1, 2 and # 4 to choose from. Jeremy Clough and Jeff Langley was the prosecuting side. Langley asked the potential jurors, if they were fans of C.S.I or courtroom TV shows. Asked if anyone expected to see any of that here today. Said you do understand that is all dramatize TV In which I agree, but I argue that these are misleading questions. It misleadsthem to believe that such things are fake. In which WCSO does have that type of technology available to them, the G.B.I. WE have technology like so to prove what happened without the suspects statement. Mostly they lie or do not talk. It was to cover the poor investigation done. Trying to swing a jury before it started. Anyone who said the still expected it to be professional was removed.

It had a lot of county employees or connections to law enforcement on panels. We ran out of strikes, and ended up with Taylor's ex-wife (she didn't like us), and the clerk Dena Adams husbands aunt on our jury.

The trial was put off a few times. It was March 9th with only two weeks for Brown to prepare for this new case. Judge refused to grant more time despite my new counsel. She later granted it for the state to June, it finally started July 13th. It took 11 days. The jury was out 4 days.

The judge was Lynn Alderman, whom decided to spread; this was an easy murder case. She is very biased. She overruled all our objections, but sustained all the states. Failed to Grant Limine to prevent the state from producing evidence of my flight. Nor would she let us disclose in said affairs of my wife with law enforcement. This would explain my fear of them, and give reason for my flight. I am truly scared of them, because I've seen what they are capable of.

She failed to grant a mistrial after the Bruce incident. Nor would she let us inquire of what all he disclosed and to whom. She ordered Brown, Bruce, court reporter and herself to chambers to further discuss. She denied me allowed to be present. She did not want Bruce's mistake to be public. Later she brought me in to not let me talk. I wouldn't give Bruce permission to disclose info, so Alderman did. He denied, and she ended it right there.

She failed to grant a directed verdict when the state failed to prove malice murder. She places the 3 alternate jurors in her chambers. She removed 2jurors. One had a family emergency. The other juror was Brandi Walters. The foreperson came out said he could not deal with her anymore. Said Walters had her mind set on one verdict.

Alderman would not hang the jury; she ordered them to continue to deliberate. Foreperson later said they had a verdict, but he didn't feel everyone's heart was in it. Alderman denied our request for them to bring it out. She ordered more deliberation. The jury said later she wouldn't continue. Alderman went into the hall alone, and talked to Walters.

Alderman told us she was going to bring her in, but we are not to talk to her because “she will fall apart!!” She brought Walters in and took her up to the bench. Walters asked to leave and for an alternate to come in. Alderman said 'I cannot remove you unless you say you can't continue to deliberate. "Very leading.” Walters said she should go home. Alderman told her again what to say. Walters nodded her head yes. She was removed.

There were 2 alternates left. One really followed me, the judge chose the other, cause she seen the one crying with me. We adjourned for the day.

Next day found guilty on felony murder, aggravated assault, and 2 counts of possession of a firearm during a commission of a felony. When it was time to charge the jury the state entered malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and the 2 firearm charges. We entered accidental and involuntary

manslaughter. Alderman would not let us enter misdemeanor involuntarymanslaughter, because I have served enough time. She made us enter it as a felony. We all agreed that if no acquittal we believe misdemeanor.

Manslaughter was the correct charge. We used previous cases to compare. She refused. Charles Brown could explain this. While the jury was out, the state and law enforcement watched the jury on camera. Officer Rusty Meyers said he had faith in Taylor's ex-wife a bailiff could hear the jury and was telling Chief John O'Brien what they were saying.

Right before the trial started D.A. Jeremy Clough produced more discovery (a diagram of scene). When the trial started Investigator Robin Still denied the AT&T phone records produced in discovery. The records were addressed to Robin Still. John Murphy denied them to. Apparently they had no idea of them, so they say. They did not want them in because they prove happiness between me and the victim. Most investigations were done a week or two before trial. Inv.

Mark Taylor testified for 8 hours. He was clueless, and we tore him apart. He said he tape measured the victim’s height, but still said it was the wrong height. Said he did not look in the trash can. In which he would have found 3 junk bullets, and an empty cartridge box. Collected a muzzle loader, camera, flash drive, and divorce papers.

We supplied the equipment for Taylor to demonstrate the scene. He put a rod through a head, but in the wrong spot. He put it through the eye. The bullet entered below the eye. He used tape to layout the wall impact place, but that's it. He placed the victim where he guessed her to be. That's all. Said no one could possibly tell you how this happened. Couldn't tell she was turned over. Didn't measure the surroundings. Guess ceiling height. Taylor thought it was a. pistol. It was a rifle. Said there was footprints, but in dirt. No one used her call log to guess a time line of her death. It was easy to do when she was texting when the event happened. Then it was unanswered.

John Murphy said he had more experience than G.B.I. Murphy said they had no one at G.B.I. who was capable of reconstruction. He was after Taylor, so he tried to clean up his mistakes. Said he looked in trash can. Didn't know victims height either. We got him to demonstrate what he could also. He got impact place on victim right. Couldn't do anything else. Also thought pistol. He sat with the district attorney the whole time.

Murphy promised the victim's parents to prosecute this case to the fullest. It's on paperwork to. He also said there was stippling on victim. They did send some evidence to a crime lab. The crime lab later testified about the fired cartridge and the unfired cartridge. Said they were both cycled through a gun, but not the same gun. The fired one was from my gun. The unfired I have no idea, there has never been another .40 cal. gun in my house. They were also two different name brands.

A woman from the crime lab testified about blood testing on my clothes. A tiny spot was on my buttocks, because I squatted at victim on my feet. A drop was on top my boot. None else was found.

Then came the autopsy man, Dr. Posey. This was the most useful witness. Testified there was no stippling on victim, but was close to victim (the gun). He said the victim’s hair was moved, because I rolled her over. Dr. Posey could determine the exact location of the firearm by the body’s examination. We supplied him with the equipment to. He placed the rod through the head on the exact bullet path. Vie. Was still in place. He aligned the bullet path with the cabinet at location the bullet struck. Then took the rifle and placed its exact location and angle. In doing so he placed the shooter. He said he just reconstructed the scene. It was a complete replica of the scene.

Then Stephanie's new boyfriend Clinton Bennett testified. Said he knew Stephanie was at my house the Wednesday before accident, and he knew she was coming over the day of the shooting. Bennett testified she was never scared of me, and that she never showed any fear of me.

Then my co-worker Tim Copp testified he was coming to my house to purchase furniture and tools. Copp said he would have bought the guns, if I had them there. Testified that I left work sick, and was very pale in the face. He started to say how he was surprised of how good a worker I was, but Alderman wouldn't allow it. Tim Copp said he has met Stephanie recently at work.

My boss Steve Tallman also said Steph has been to my work recently. Tallman was on vacation the day of the accident.

An old friend of the victims testified, Rebecca Cals. Cals said she was with the victim the day of. Said Stephanie was scared. Cals testified she told Steph to take her Dad, her brother, or a cop with her to my house. Drama queen. Cals said years ago I kicked Stephanie in the knee. Then later said she seen Stephanie with a huge bruise on her hip. Said I pushed her on a tub. Rebecca Cals has not been in Stephanie's life for many years. We moved away a long time ago. She has a way of making things up. None of this was in her statement to Investigator Still. It suddenly came up during trial. Stephanie was not ever in any danger she would have called her father or 911.

The event in which Cals said I kicked Stephanie was 5 years ago. We wereall at a friend's house, and me and a friend was horse-playing. In which I accidentally did kick Steph. She was sitting close to where I landed. She wasn't hurt and took no offense. A few weeks later we started to date. Stephanie never had a bruise on her hip. I would have seen it. There was no tub incident.

Cals seeks revenge for my calling the law when her and her boyfriend stole my 1970 Plymouth roadrunner. Plus she blamed me for Stephanie moving away. Stephanie told her boyfriend she did not fear me. It makes no sense why she would. Rebecca and no one else.

Then Stephanie's supervisor at 911 dispatch center testified. His name was Ben Smith. Smith said Stephanie was like his little sister. Smith said I have put a gun to Steph's head, but he told no one. Nor did Steph, but she supposedly said this happened, to Ben Smith only? Said Stephanie tried to stay with him one night. Stephanie received an email from me to the 911 center. Smith said Stephanie was shaking. Yet witnesses said there was no fear. Ben was obsessive with Stephanie, cause of sexual assaults that happened to him. He took comfort with her. He was later reported to Leah Sullins for sexually harassing Stephanie Nothing was done. Steph's job was threatened.

My mother later testified to conditions of my house and a hole in door. The house was not clean. Jenniffer Hart (mother) testified to us being with each other before July separation and happiness.

My father Robert 1. Hart and brother Robert W. Hart testified to how untrained I was with a gun.

Then I testified for 5 hours. The state only questioned me for a few minutes;I used the same equipment to demonstrate what happened. It was an exact match to Dr. Posey the only person who could tell what happened. State never questioned this.

They focused on a car wreck I was in. I stated I was hit head on by a DUI driver. Apparently diabetes was a factor to. My mistakes. Also the state focused on how long I was there after Stephanie was shot. I already stated seconds. Clough timed me, 33 seconds. I also used tape to outline the house on the courtroom floor. Also I made a mistake of times on calls between me and the victim. They made a big deal, because Steph called me before I left work. I'm worried they'll be better at the next trial because we showed them how.

That's the main points in the trial. Many more factors and witnesses. Alright

on November 2007 I was arrested for the first time ever. I was charged with false imprisonment, interfering with a 911 call. Basically it was thanksgiving, we was celebrating with alcohol (under age). We started to argue over the TV, Steph wanted to leave and cool off. I kept all the car keys and told her to call a ride. She said she was going to call her dad to fight me (she was drunk). I unplugged the phone cord, and told her please don't start trouble, just call a ride. She walked off to the bedroom. I went back to watching TV when 2 officers came to the house.

Officer Edgerton and Officer Carlyle. I was put outside in the cold in my underwear, talking to Edgerton. Larry Carlyle went to talk to Stephanie They later put me in the garage. I told them what happened, and they said they'll probably just have me leave for the night. Later Carlyle brings me inside to unload a sks rifle. I had guns out for hunting 1st thing the next morning.

Carlyle said gun's make him nervous. I told him maybe he shouldn't be a cop. He opened the garage door and pushed me outside. They brought me in later and Carlyle said they wouldn't leave without me. They took me to jail for keeping a drunk driver off the road. Maybe saving lives.

At the jail Kenneth Edgerton filled out the report. He filled out a statement from me and Steph I never told him the thing's in it. He later says there was broken glass from pictures, but failed to mention that in his report. We just bought the house; there were no pictures at all. Carlyle said nothing of glass.

Stephanie was left at the house with Larry Carlyle after I left. In which Stephanie and him had sexual activities per Steph. They have been talking before this incident, and Steph said she thought I would separate with her is why. Stephanie asked for a few days to move out.

I was taken to jail late Friday night and released Sunday, I believe. I had a bond condition of no contact nor could I go home. Stephanie was already moved out. At the time I was operating a private Dog rescue service and had

many animals. They would not let me go feed them. Also said if I didn't feed them I would go back to jail for animal cruelty. The dogs were fed regardless.

Later my bond condition was modified to go home. Stephanie volunteered on affidavit so I could go home. Said she did not fear me and wish the no contact would be lifted. Also said she did plan to divorce. Later we reconciled and she moved back home. The state said we were separated, because only trusted people knew, because of the bond condition.

I had witnesses to testify to us working things out. Also I'm working on retrieving documented proof of that. Such as purchase of new wedding bands after the 07 incident. Also receipts of out of town togetherness and witnesses too. I can without a doubt prove we was still together after the 07 incident until we both agreed to separate on July 4th 2008.

We had a disagreement over her alcohol basically. She left, and I decided to divorce and took the steps in doing so. Also Stephanie purchased 2 cell phones for me to use during this supposedly time of separation One Verizon, one AT&T. In which she maintained the bill.

Before I finally explain what happened, let me explain my life status leading up to the accident. I was a telephone man who got injured and was terminated for it. I used to average $500.00- $2,000.00 a week. I ended up working at a campground making $320.00 a week. I had a mortgage of $1,200.00 a month, truck payment, personal loans ranging from $2,000.00 to $13,000.00. Charge accounts in several places, plus all the necessities of having such things. I averaged $2,500.00 to $3,500.00 a month of debt. Plus trying to fund a dog rescuing service.

You can see the new job barely makes the house payment. It was very stressful. I began to sell furniture or whatever I could out of my house.

I was going to sell my last two guns to Tim Copp. That's why they wereeven at my house. I was taking side jobs trying to just make ends meet. I could hardly sleep or eat. The worst case of anxiety ever. I even entered the hospital for chest pains, they thought I was depressed. I couldn't focus on anything other than debt. This also, I believe, prevented me from being more cautious with the rifle.

Steph and I separated July 4th I decided to divorce. The accident happened Friday. The Wednesday before she came to my house. She came because I sent her an email that she had a check that came in. Plus I stated I wanted to discuss the divorce. I sent this to her work email at the 911 center.

She came by at about 1; 00 Am and stayed until the next morning. We discussed the divorce. Discussed our new relationships, and then played basketball until about 4; 00 AM. I can prove all of this. She later left and I went to work Thursday morning. I told her I would get divorce papers then let her know.

Thursday night I send her a text message, “Thank you for seeing me. Be happy.” (Exact words.) She responded “you to". Less than 24 hrs before her death.

Friday July 25th, the day of the accident. I go to work. Everything's normal until after lunch. I got some bad Wendy's and later threw up at work. I wentto rest and Scott Boyd told me to go home for the day.

Stephanie called to see if I got the paperwork. I told her no, but the boss told me to leave work so I'll get them on my way home. I clocked out and startedto exit. It was around 2:30 PM. Tim Copp stopped me at the exit gate. Said that he'll be by Saturday to purchase stuff. I told him that I had 2 guns to sell, and I'll have them there. He shook his head, but didn't hear me because of his lawn mower and my loud truck.

I stopped at a store and bought some beer. If I felt better I was to go out to a bar with a friend Scott Favors that night. All provable.

I stopped at my mother’s house to pick up my .40 cal. Rifle and the .50 cal. Muzzle loader to sell. They had been there untouched since the 07 incident. The last person to touch them was Officer Larry Carlyle. I told mother I'd be back Sunday to help build their garage. I obviously had a full weekend. All provable.

I left and went home. Took everything inside. Then left again. I went to the public library to print off the divorce petition and the separation agreement and picked out the belongings.

Steph only wanted her dog Hennessy and her car. She didn't want the house or anything else. I got back home and sent Steph a text message that I wasback with the papers. She called and said she was in Toccoa and that she'dbe there in a little while. I fed the dogs and put the inside one in the garage. I got ready to get in the shower when she arrived.

I let her in and told her there’s the paper. I got dressed. We talked; I invitedher and Bennett to the bar with Scott and me. She declined. Well at that point I'm feeling better.

It was later in the afternoon. I drank a beer. Let me back up, I'm sorry. Before I fed the dogs. I took the guns to my bedroom. I took them out to inspect. They've been setting a long time still loaded. I unloaded the .40 caliber and 3 bullets are green. I threw them away and put new ones in. I reloaded the gun and cocked it. That's how my gun's always are.

I thought I replaced the safety, but I must not have. I was rushing around trying to get too much done at one time. I put the .50 cal. away because I got the wrong stuff to fire it. I put the .40 cal. Carbine on the couch to test fire later.

OK now Steph's here and we started to fill out the paperwork. We werediscussing it when I started to break down and cry. I was crying because life has become overwhelming to me. I couldn't handle the debt. It was all that I thought about. It even started to affect my health. Now we were here to

finally divorce. It was overwhelming how life changed for us so fast.

Well I saw the gun on the other couch. Then I started to think about a time years ago when I came close to shooting myself. I doubt I really would have but was tempted. This was Christmas 06. I found out my wife had an affair with my brother. When I told her about it, she apologized and asked to stay together. I took the .40 cal rifle and sat down with it at an old house of ours. She saw me and came and took the rifle from me. We talked all night right there on the floor. We both cried and held each other.

We decided to work through it. I was very comforted by this. I forgave Steph and Bryan. Everything went back to normal, and in August 07 we moved into our first purchased house. Things were great.

OK back to the accident. We were filling out the paperwork. I was crying and I looked at the gun. Now I was in desperate need for someone to help me through this stress. I came up with an idea to act like I want to shoot myself. Steph asked for a beer and went to get one. I picked up the gun and walked towards my back door. I carried the gun as I always did, by the pistol grip handle. Carrying it straight up. I walked behind Stephanie, but lookeddown crying. I didn't notice she stopped and was texting her boyfriend (which was later about her boyfriend’s birthday).

I rethought this idea. It was stupid and I definitely shouldn't do this. I thought just ask for help. So I stopped and flung my arms outward and say “Steph would you .... “ Then gun struck her in the shoulder/ neck region. I looked up to see what I touched, as she looked back to see what touched her. I said, “Oh shit.” and my thoughts were to get the gun away from her. I jerked the gun sideways, and I guess I accidentally squeezed the trigger. I overlooked the safety because of all that was on my mind.

She fell; I threw the gun to the couch. Turned her over and screamed her name. She was unresponsive. I freaked out, grabbed the gun and left. I kept driving, crying, scared to death. I ended up in Texas where I called mom to call the law, then started

to come home.

I was picked up in Louisiana walking over 130 miles to get back. I had warrantsand was arrested. I was recorded stating I was trying to get back to Georgia. I ran because I was afraid of them. I knew they would never believe me. I was arrested in 07 for DUI was kept from driving.

Now this, who would believe me that it, was accidental. I know most of them personally. I know what they are capable of. I feared I had no chance of fair justice with them. I was only offered one plea for life.

We have put in for a new trial. There are a few points to back up accidental. The bullet path entered just under left eye traveling left to right and upwards, because Steph was turning around. She is 5' 2”; I am 5' 8" .If you intend to shoot someone you draw your weapon and fire. The bullet would have been straight or downward. Plus this was a rifle. A psychologist could tell the effect of such anxiety and how it could unwillingly prevent someone from functioning normally. Which would rule out any negligence on my behalf due to state of mind.

I can produce more paperwork to prove our happiness and that she moved back in with me.

We are currently waiting.

Now some strange things have been happening. People that were involved with Steph and I were being fired. Clint Bennett and Larry Carlyle. Larry Carlyle was for beating a mental health man on camera.

I am housed at Rabun county Detention center.

I have been receiving a lot of legal mail from innocent projects and such. No luck there. My mother wrote down the email you sent her with the address for me to

write this.

They knew I was waiting to hear from the White House because of a phone conversation. The day it comes in I get transferred to White County. The mail was bagged and went with me. (I still haven't got it.).

Apparently I have a court date and I was taken to then sent back to Rabun. White County lost my legal mail and my personal belongings. Then later they told my parents they'd send it up to me. Still haven't got it. I believe they are worried over the White House contact.

The sudden court date was today. Apparently some court trail exhibits got wet and ruined. They wanted to reproduce this stuff and show us. Mostly pictures and jury notes. A quick glance everything appeared the same, but you really couldn't tell unless you were an expert. I don't trust them. They have done worse. This is very strange. This town does things like this and gets away with it. Everyone's afraid of them. No one has ever went against them.

I used to hang out at Steph's work (911 center) and my father's. He was their mechanic. I had conversations and learned stuff I didn't want to know. It disgusted me so much. I stopped coming around.

Everything from the beating people, blackmailing women to having sex or go to jail, taking money to convict someone else accused of murder, placing a recording device in the attorney/client room, to taking money from the Russians in CherokeeNC. Their said to be bad people. They have overlooked a woman's death cause theirfriend asked them to. When woman died fleeing of fear for being chased, edited documents. Sheriff Neil Walden and Judge Barrett use a local car company Gacky Jones) to wash money. This was all told to me out of trust. There are much more horrible things I know, how and who can prove it all. This has got to stop. How long can this go on? How many lives are lost?

Then while I'm in the cell they played music about killing your spouse and sung it to

me. I can provide you with names and contact information for every ex girlfriend, school teacher and such to prove I have never been a violent person. Just let me know if you'd like this list.

I have support from Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Japan. Television preachers, military, friends, family, co-workers and pastors. There is far too much to explain. Please feel free to talk to Charles Brown, Todd Dawson, and Jeanie divas (myrepresentation) at: 1536 South Main St. Cleveland, Georgia 30528 telephone # 706-348-8577.

Our weapons expert/uncle who has followed case can be reached at Bradley W. Dickey psc 76 box 5711 APO AP 963190036 He is stationed in Japan. His email address is Bradley 23 [email protected] . These can provide you with further info. If needed.

Please I need help. I need to show the truth. These people have to be stopped. What about the victim's family? They got cheated of the truth from the get go. They weretold murder from day one. Now they believe that, They deserve to know the truth before anyone. I feel I have suffered enough and deserve my freedom. I've lost my wife, our lives and everything in it.

People believe this horrible thing about me. If you could help me get freed by acquittal, reduction to Involuntary Manslaughter as misdemeanor, or even a pardon. Then I would be free and together we all can work together to bring justice to everyone. Clean up this small town and make sure thisnever happens to anyone again. President Obama has the power to free me.

This was an accident. I can prove that. This case can change the town for everyone. Private attorney's around town hope I'll win, so things will change. You have the power to change this town for everyone. Please help us. Not just for me, but for everyone who may make a mistake. Then they will be treated fairly.

I can back up everything I say. I hope to work with you to eliminate these

illegal actions in White County. I hope you can help me achieve my freedom, so I may possibly serve in the U.S. Army when it's over. If you don't help more innocent people will suffer, and the true criminals will continue on. Please bring change and the truth to the people of White County, Georgia.

I do not know what will happen to me. We are terrified of them. I will be transported soon. White County is in fear of you. They know of our communications. Please help us all.

I have enclosed a typed copy of this letter, because it is easier to read. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to be working with you.

Sincerely,

Johnathan Hart found guilty in murder trial

Judge's sentence is life in prison

by Erin Garner

White County News

Johnathan Hart, 22, of Cleveland, was convicted of felony murder, aggravated assaultand possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony on Saturday, July 25 inconnection the death of his estranged wife, Stephanie Haslup Hart.

The verdict was handed down by jurors at the White County Courthouse exactly a yearafter Stephanie Haslup Hart died from a gunshot wound at Johnathan Hart's home onLothridge Road.

She was a 21-year-old White County 9-1-1 dispatcher at the time of her death.

Superior Court Judge Lynn Alderman sentenced Hart to a mandatory life sentence,which makes him eligible for parole in 30 years under current Georgia law.

For the weapons charge, Alderman sentenced him to a five-year sentence to runconsecutive to his life sentence, which would mean Hart must serve 35 years beforebeing paroled.

Hart's trial lasted for eight days, followed by 21 hours of jury deliberation over afour-day period.

“It really was a huge relief. We really didn't think it was going to be as important to usas it was, because it doesn't get Stephanie back, but it felt like a little bit of vindication,”Janice Haslup of Toccoa, Stephanie Haslup Hart's mother, said.

In his closing argument, public defender Charlie Brown told jurors to consider thepossibility that Stephanie Haslup Hart's death was accidental and that Johnathan Hartwas treated unfairly during the investigation because of his wife's work with lawenforcement officers.

“This is one of our own. This is not about justice. This is about revenge,” he said,referring to White County officials involved with the investigation.

Assistant district attorney Jeremy Clough, the lead prosecutor for the case, said in hisclosing statement that Johnathan Hart had a “willingness to shade the truth” and wasonly concerned about himself and having what he wanted.

“This is a man accustomed to lying to get his way,” he said. “He has learned to try to lieto escape what he wants to escape.”

Clough told jurors that the trial was only about justice in the case.

“This trial begins and this trial ends at the life that was taken. The life that was takenand the man who took it,” he said.

Talk about bias! Judge Alderman actually told a man/father that he was luckythat he gets six weeks of summer visitation with his own child, because mostmen/fathers only get four. All things being equal, a good parent should(Constitutionally, by Law, and by best interest of a child) receive 50/50 custody.But, Judge Alderman does not stop there. She also states to the father, “this iswhat you get when you get one woman pregnant and marry another woman.”Now, if that’s not prejudice, unconstitutional, contrary to law, facts, andevidence, what the heck is? This is a good father who was primary care giver of achild (born out of wedlock) who gets married, then has his child taken from himfor almost a year waiting for hearings(causing the child severe trauma, evenmedical issues) as a selfish ploy by the mother to change the primary care to her,he then spends over $10,000 in attorney fees, $3000 for a court-orderedpsychologist and is chosen as the best parent, goes to hearing after hearing fortwo years; and finally, he and the child, are oppressed with 4 days a month andsix weeks in the summer. Not only is the statement “that’s what you get…”reason enough to believe Judge Alderman is out of line, but the mother has hadseveral men live with her and the child, including one convicted felon, and hashad at least four known/admitted pregnancies out of wedlock (including one afterthis child). The father has this one child. They knew each other for a few weekswhen she became pregnant (a pattern of this woman for almost 20 years). Bothparents are 40 years old at the time of conception. The relationship never tookroot, but the parental relationship continued and the father even moved to thearea to be here for his child. We’d like to see Judge Alderman provide lawssupporting that when two adults become pregnant that it is the man’s fault aloneand that he is the one who should bare all the burdens and punishments thatcome with that responsibility, including should he marry another woman he isthen even more at fault. Or, where is the law that supports what she says -- this(minimal visits) is what a father gets for getting a woman pregnant. Again,sending all the work to make women equal, she spirals women (in her Court) topowerless victims! You would think a woman would know more than anyonethat the responsibility (and thus power) of becoming pregnant or not, belongs tothe woman whose body will carry it. Socially, morally and perhaps evenbiologically, women are expected to be prudent about sexual relations; not men.Medically, women have the power to become pregnant or not; not men. Legally,women have the power to bear or child, put a child up for adoption, or abort achild; not men. Now, the Law supports women’s power for the unborn, but onceborn there is equal power for men/fathers. But, not in Judge Alderman’s court,she rules by her personal hatred of men or wherever she gets her reasoning –men/fathers do not have power concerning children, they are expected to sufferand to pay (and he was $200/week). To give Judge Alderman credit, she didmodify the custody adding in the standard “no opposite sex overnight guestsunless related by blood or marriage.” However, she knew the mother was livingwith a man at the time and did not enforce her own order. Since then, the mothersays she has married, but will give no evidence, including false information oninterrogatories. Even though the mother has lied in depositions and committedperjury, she is not called to the carpet to provide proof she is following theOrder. So, even when Judge Alderman appears to do something in the bestinterest of a child, she will not enforce it. Therefore, it is a moot intent to protect

4/2009 - Judge Alderman signed a TPO (Temporary Protective Order) for aclient of Michelle Vaughan with no accusations of violence or threat of violence(literally left blank) and with the knowledge Judge Miller had the parties on hisdocket. (A common maneuver of Michelle Vaughan to try to switch cases shecan't uphold with the law to an unsuspecting {or cooperating} judge.) TPOs arehanded out like candy, a waste of tax-payers money. What makes this criminal isthat Alderman did it with the knowledge this client was taking the parties minorchild out of state without notifying the other parent against the final order andpurposely withheld due process. A voluntary recusal was asked of Aldermanbased on Judge Miller being involved and even having a pending hearing on4/30/09 for another matter with the same parties (and because it is publicknowledge she favors Vaughan like Stone did). Judge Alderman immediatelyagreed to assign the case to Judge Miller, but then held the order, ignored ordersto expedite and/or dismiss the TPO/assignment (requested by the victim of theTPO to prevent harm of the minor child by being erroneously separated fromtheir parent) until the last minute, granting the fraudulent TPO the power toseparate the parent/child for 30 days until the hearing at which time it wasdismissed by Judge Miller. Michelle Vaughan represents the client who filed thebogus TPO and no doubt advised her client to use Alderman (telling her client touse a different last name from all other matters, to fall under Alderman’salphabet) and then clearly Alderman held the assignment/order for harassmentpurposes as a favor to Vaughan. Alderman and Vaughan abuse and waste theLaw created to protect innocent parties from true danger, and twist the law withtheir undeserved power to harm innocent children. There is no cost for a TPO orthe service of such by the filer – the citizens pay for that; there are noconsequences for parties who abuse this privilege. During that time a child wentwithout seeing their parent, talking to their parent, seeing their parent at school,being forced to hear horrible accusations/lies about their parent that appearsupported by law through the parent’s disappearance, and having theirpsychological parent literally disappear from their life. Alderman and Vaughando not even attempt to hide their bias and shame, showing their arrogance to dowhatever they want to innocent children and their good parent(s). A fullinvestigation of Alderman and Vaughan are the only remedy and protection forthe citizens of Enotah. But we can’t wait for the very system that fails us, toprotect us. The citizens must band together and expose any corruption, bias orwrong-doing and hold the offenders accountable. That’s why this forum is here –for US -- to reveal the things they hide.

Judge Alderman told my husband he is responsible for my opinions!? She 2009-08-26


3 of 7 09/10/09 11:53 PM

punished him and his daughter for MY ARTICLE (with opinions that everyonewithin the "system" knows are true, but the general public doesn't, or didn't)published on the front page of the Union and Towns Sentinel Newspapers -http://www.unionsentinel.com/news/2007/1206/front_page/002.html Aldermantook away the father/daughter alternate Thursday custody (when the child was inpre-k Mon-Wed-Fri) stating that the child could spend all day in daycare, but notwith HER father. This was at my husband’s contempt hearing against the motherfor interference with custody. Alderman entered my article as evidence againstthe father??? At the same hearing, Alderman changed his daughter's last name toinsert the mother's maiden name (that she hasn't used for over 25 years includingpresently) ignoring evidence, argument, reason, etc.; causing a 5 year-old to havetwo last names (robbing her of her right to inherit from her father) and themother still refuses to follow her own manipulated order and frequently drops thefather's part of the last name, including on legal documents (school records andDHR in 8/08). Alderman gave Judge Stone all the credit, stating she "knew" hemeant to do the name this way in 11/2005 and it was just a scrivener’s error - 3yrs later! The bias and corruption is clear. Michelle Vaughan was counsel for themother. These 2 women told a man he was responsible for my opinions -- ageneric article that obvious struck their guilt and/or narcissism!! TWO WOMENsay a man is responsible for his wife's thoughts - so we are now intellectualproperty?! I bet they wouldn't say that to their own husbands! They are 2 womenwho harm the essence of the gender and d**n the feminine to the dark ages orworse. Judge Stone appointed Alderman and Vaughan as juvy judges, now theytaint Superior Court - the Enotah Triangle. Maybe they will use this, but if theydo - they better come to me and leave my husband and his daughter out of it. Ihave individual rights and I've been writing for years, and the newspaper choseto print it, so get over it. Now, only an innocent child suffers because 2 womensought to crush a man in the name of his wife. How dare them! And howignorant. What an insult to law and women! My husband happens to love me as astrong, independent, intelligent woman, so their attempt to destroy my marriagefailed. They try to make a man choose between his child and his wife - that issick! They harm a child with no thought whatsoever! And, in the history ofmankind when has a woman shut up even if her husband asked her to :)...Actually, I did for over a year, but they continue to harass and harm, so whyshould I be silent. Evil prospers when good men/women do nothing. I'm notwilling to live with that responsibility. How about you? Speak out againstcorruption. All change starts with "we, the people". These people in poweralready will not change unless we make them or replace them. Alderman worksfor us, if she can't do the job fairly, she needs to be fired. It's her choice. Maybeher relationship with M.V. is worth it. We'll see.

Always late and quick to blame others for this. Weak in knowledge of the law,strong in the knowledge of HER law. She reflects the days spent in the DA'soffice. I predict that a majority of her cases will be overturned on appeal, thuscosting the taxpayer. The system is broke of both money and integrity.

Alderman was a juvenile judge with former juvenile judge (then & now attorney)Michelle Vaughan, who she appears to show favoritism to in court manner andrulings now as a superior court judge. They were both appointed by Judge Stoneand must have learned his bad habits (if they have a dog in the fight, they can notrule fairly). This is a judge who needs to be watched, especially when counsel isMichelle Vaughan. Citizens have experienced Alderman's prejudice/bias. We'veheard that Alderman was also ruling judge in a case against Vaughan in juvenilecourt. They may believe that the citizens in the Enotah District are too stupid anddon't deserve justice and they can run rampant with their cruelty andmalfeasance in superior court as they did in juvenile court. Alderman seems to"rule" the bench with her ego and relationships and not for justice. (Psychologistssay that showing up late is a control issue.) NO judge should come to superiorcourt from juvenile court due to the "closed" nature that breeds corruption.

I have had cases in front of her when she was a juvenilecourt judge, and continue to practice in front of her now that she is on theSuperior Court bench. She is respectuful, fair, and well-versed in the law. Sheis no-nonsense with civil and criminal litigants alike.

Print

CLEVELAND - A White County jury has returned a guilty verdict in themurder trial of Jonathan Hart of Cleveland. Hart was accused of shootingto death his estranged wife Stephanie Hart, a White County 911operator, at his home on Lothridge Road East of Cleveland last year.

Following six and half days of testimony, the jury received the caseWednesday and spent just over 20 hours in deliberation. During thedeliberation on Friday night, Superior Court Judge Lynn Aldermanreplaced one of the jurors with an alternate after a female juror said shecould not continue deliberation in accordance of the instructions given bythe court. The jury decided to go home at 7:50 p.m. and return Saturdaymorning.

Just before 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, the jury emerged with a verdict. Hartwas found guilty of Felony Murder and Aggravated Assault, along withPossession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony. Judge Aldermanimmediately sentenced Hart to life in prison on the first two counts and aconsecutive five years on the possession of firearm charge. The jury’sverdict comes one year to the date Stephanie Hart died.

Following Saturday’s verdict, Stephanie Hart's mother, Janice Haslup, praised the work of the District Attorney's office, saying theyworked to find the truth and the family is pleased with the verdict.

Enotah Circuit District Attorney Stan Gunter commended the work of the jury, saying you can tell they were dedicated to getting theright verdict because of the amount of time they spent deliberating.

Hart’s Attorney, Charlie Brown, said he will discuss with his client Monday any appeal process, but he said he will leave that up toHart.

She punished him and his daughter for MYARTICLE (with opinions that everyone within the "system" knows are true, but the general public doesn't, or didn't)published on the front page of the Union and Towns Sentinel Newspapers - http://www.unionsentinel.com/news/2007/1206/front_page/002.html

Alderman took away the father/daughter alternate Thursday custody (when the child was in pre-k Mon-Wed-Fri) statingthat the child could spend all day in daycare, but not with HER father. This was at my husband’s contempt hearing againstthe mother for interference with custody. Alderman entered my article as evidence against the father??? At the samehearing, Alderman changed his daughter's last name to insert the mother's maiden name (that she hasn't used for over 25years including presently) ignoring evidence, argument, etc.; causing a 5 year-old to have two last names (robbing her ofher right to inherit from her father) and the mother still refuses to follow her own manipulated order and frequently dropsthe father's part of the last name, including on legal documents (school records and DHR in 8/08). Alderman gave JudgeStone all the credit, stating she "knew" he meant to do the name this way in 11/2005 and it was just a scrivener’s error - 3yrs later! The bias and corruption is clear. Michelle Vaughan was counsel for the mother. These 2 women told a man hewas responsible for my opinions -- a generic article that obvious struck their guilt and/or narcissism!! TWO WOMEN saya man is responsible for his wife's thoughts - so we are now intellectual property?! I bet they wouldn't say that to their ownhusbands! They are 2 women who harm the essence of the gender and d**n the feminine to the dark ages or worse. JudgeStone appointed Alderman and Vaughan as juvy judges, now they taint Superior Court - the Enotah Triangle. Maybe theywill use this, but if they do - they better come to me and leave my husband and his daughter out of it. I have individualrights and I've been writing for years, and the newspaper chose to print it, so get over it. Now, only an innocent childsuffers because 2 women sought to crush a man in the name of his wife. How dare them! And how ignorant. What aninsult to law and women! My husband happens to love me as a strong, independent, intelligent woman, so their attempt todestroy my marriage failed. They try to make a man choose between his child and his wife - that is sick! They harm a childwith no thought whatsoever! And, in the history of mankind when has a woman shut up even if her husband asked her to :)...Actually, I did for over a year, but they continue to harass and harm, so why should I be silent. Evil prospers when goodmen/women do nothing. I'm not willing to live with that responsibility. How about you? Speak out against corruption. Allchange starts with "we, the people". These people in power already will not change unless we make them or replace them.Alderman works for us, if she can't do the job fairly, she needs to be fired. It's her choice. Maybe her relationship withM.V. is worth it. We'll see.
