The Post-Conviction Relief Case, Part VII - The Pre-Trial Blues

Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall,

If she's gone I can't go on, feeling two-foot small

Everywhere, people stare, each and every day,

I can see them laugh at me, and I hear them say,

Hey, you've got to hide your love away.

Hey, you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try, I can never win,

Hearing them, seeing them, in the state I'm in

How could she say to me, love will find a way,

Gather round all you clowns, let me hear you say:

Hey, you've got to hide your love away,

Hey, you've got to hide your love away.

- The Beatles

Well America, once again, it looks as though this writer may be royally screwed again by those of the Polk County courts.  I'm afraid nothing looks good, where getting justice due is concerned...about the only hope I have left is that the Judge, Jeannie Vaudt, may be an honest and good judge.  I would be surprised, if I didn't know better.  I've thought the judge might be fair in a case before (i.e., Judge Blink, the man primarily responsible for the filing of this case), and have been let down; so for however this judge may be, I am, of course, prepared by expecting the worst.

We'll begin by stating that none that I had hoped to have served to testify on my behalf have been served.  This is, of course, due to the main fact that I did not use either a private investigator or the Polk County Iowa Sheriff's office (who I obviously have no intention to fund in any manner...including paying their ridiculous request for over $8,000 in "Room and Board" for the year I spent in jail, let alone pay them to do their job that I already, with my taxes, pay them to do anyway.)  This is also due to how well those involved have hidden themselves in their respective ivory towers, behind 2" thick bulletproof glass and behind an army of assistants, secretaries, pages and scribes.  Others have retired, disappeared and are nowhere to be found or seen.  Gee...I wonder why.  The only one that will be there will be my "Stand-By Attorney", Lucas Taylor, already called as the ONLY witness...for the prosecution.  You had best believe that I intend to grill this man for all he's worth, in his cross-examination by me...about 7 other witnesses worth, the others that will never see the courtroom in this case, just like it was in the other cases I subpoenaed them to show up for, including the one this case is about.  I am quite certain that, even if I had paid some private investigator to find and serve these criminals, that they would have found a way to not be there anyway, and there would have been $500 down the drain.  I can't say that I'm disappointed that the $75 that I shelled out to have a friend do it for me (they were to get another $75 upon the job's completion...which of course, it couldn't be completed, due to the trouble each person was to find, let alone serve) was all that I had to pay out.  Anything more would have just been more of a waste of what little money I have/make.

So, as a final post, pre-trial, I plan to make the usual prediction as to the outcome of this little party...there will be no justice...there will be no news crews, there will be no witnesses for the defense, and the PUBLIC record, describing the events of the case in question, as well as the case itself, will reflect the court's perfect execution of both trials, with the Petitioner in the usual place...the loser's box.

That said, there has been a final "pre-trail" statement made to the "court" of Polk County, and those who represent their brand and breed of "Justice."  America has to get her copy as well....of course.

"I, Christopher (Bruce), the Living Man, do hereby make this final pre-trial statement to the court of Polk County, Iowa, Judge Jeanie Vaudt, and those who seek to deprive this Petitioner of his rightful remedy, those of the Polk County Attorney’s offices.

Three years ago, the Department of Human Services, in a conspiracy with the courts of Polk County, Iowa, overseen by the criminal Judge William A. Price, and prosecuted by another conspirator, John P. Sarcone, without good cause, removed my wife’s daughter from her loving parents.  Since that day, the petitioner chose to expose what the criminals in these courts had done, and continued to do, online.  Because of this, the parents had their rights terminated...also without cause.  2 months later, the agency that removed her admitted they did wrong, removed the parents from the abuse registry, cleared them of the Department’s allegations, and expunged their records of any wrong-doing.  That decision was backed up by the director of that agency...and still the crooked courts of Polk County and the State of Iowa Supreme Court refused to acknowledge that wrong-doing, even in the face of that decision, and would not restore our rights or return our daughter; because to find in our favor would have garnered too much of the wrong kind of attention on the myriad of judges, county attorneys and Supreme Court judges involved, and would have endangered a very lucrative and successful industry in the State of Iowa, by causing a very unwanted light on the activities of the corrupted officials who profit greatly by these wrongful actions, both through income and jobs related to the industry of child removal.

In order to complete their success against us in our juvenile cases, the county attorney of Polk County conspired with the Des Moines Police Department’s detective Jake Lancaster to cause the father and mother (who had, by this time, secretly moved away from Des Moines) to miss their termination hearing.  As any person involved in these cases know, parents in Iowa who miss their termination hearings have, by statute, no standing to appeal their cases to the Supreme Court.  Because they could not find the parents, they enlisted the help of the United States Secret Service to have the father arrested for the first time in 12 years.  Since then, the father has been arrested for the same crimes (harassment being the easiest crime to charge and prove against someone in the State of Iowa) three additional times; the last costing him a year of his life in the Polk County Jail; even though he had no record to speak of prior to this time, save for 3 simple misdemeanors over a 30 year span, with NO violence, NO drug related offences, and, most importantly, NO record of harassment. stalking, or any other aggravated or related behavior.

In order to successfully lock the father away, the courts of Polk County conspired with John P. Sarcone’s offices, Darren Tromblay of CityView magazine, Jeanne Munson, and Mark Worthington to file charges of harassment and stalking against the petitioner, and find him guilty of the same.  Prior to the arrests made in cases SMAC359086 and FECR292312, the petitioner had been in constant contact with all three of these people for over 2 years, and had no issues with any of them.  In a one week period, all 3 would file charges against the petitioner, at the behest of John Sarcone’s offices.  “The Rest of the Story” you can find on the record of the Polk County courts.

Since this petitioner’s incarceration, the Petitioner has noted no real change in the way he has been treated in the courts of Iowa in the past.  Those who choose to represent themselves without legal council (this has and will continue to be the case, since it is obvious that those that are appointed to represent those of perceived lesser value have no care or concern of those they represent, and work with the courts to deprive these citizens of their defenses...as is the case in THIS action) are not only discriminated against, they are told that they cannot do so without consequence and punishment if the rules of criminal, court and civil procedures of the State of Iowa are not known fully and followed to the letter.  These same rules of Civil Procedure obviously do not apply to those who work in the system, and the system makes it as difficult as humanly possible for someone who tries to have those wrongs righted.

I say, enough is enough.  Even though no one has been able to be served to testify on the events of this case for the side of the Petitioner, the Petitioner will still show up to fight the State on this matter, regardless.  Randy Osborn has retired.  Grant Rogers does not have an office at the Register, and cannot be reached, either by phone or email.  Judges in Polk County are never NOT in court, and none have a listed home address anywhere on file (for many self-conceived reasons, I can only imagine).  The Assistant Polk County attorney formerly in charge of the case in question has resigned her position, and conveniently cannot be located or found as working in any official capacity anywhere else at this time.  The Polk County Attorney himself works in a well-guarded castle, and does not appear in person or answer the phone for anyone...for such as myself anyway.  This, if nothing else, should be an obvious enough testament to the wrongs done against this Petitioner in these cases, as well as speaks loudly to the wrongs done to countless other residents of the county, in a concerted and unified effort that keeps those in power in their jobs, and make the county and the state money, utilizing the taxes off of the backs of those who cannot afford to fight their own cases, even though it is those very people who work hardest to produce these same taxes for the state, that go to pay these same state and county officials their salaries, so that they can then prosecute them incessantly, until they ultimately win out against those who seek justice for themselves, due to their lack of money, connections, constitution and endurance, honest attorneys to choose from, and actual time to devote to their efforts.

The Petitioner has endured the constant persecution (as well as prosecution, obviously) by the criminals involved in the wrongful removal of his daughter for 3 long years, as of the date of July 21st, 2017.  When is enough to be enough?

Unless the record of the court in the case in question has been doctored (as it has been proven to have been in the past, even as recently as the case in question), the court record itself SHOULD stand as enough evidence on its own of the wrongs done the Petitioner in the case in question.  The witnesses the Petitioner had intended to have testify should not even be needed; the record should speak volumes on its own.

This petitioner sincerely hopes that there is just one remaining judge in all of Polk County/The State of Iowa that remains true to the meaning of justice, and that the same judge is the one assigned to this case.  If not, and should the Petitioner once again be denied his due, the Petitioner reiterates that this case will by no means be the end of the fight for true justice for the Petitioner and his now destroyed and separated family, and the Petitioner’s ruined good name and reputation, thanks to the continuing criminal actions of those in office in Polk County, who supposedly represent those wronged citizens of Iowa...most who know nothing of the character, nor anything of the events that led to this conspiracy and violations against the civil rights and due process of the Petitioner during the course of the case in question.  These events were blotted from the eyes of the jury deciding this case (using the tired excuse of confidentiality.) In its place was put an obvious attempt to sway the jury from making an un-biased decision concerning the Petitioner, a libelous article fed to Iowa’s premier newspaper, The Des Moines Register, redefining the Petitioner as a lawless, possibly dangerous and murderous “Domestic Terrorist”, which was printed one day before the jury was to go into deliberations.  This article not only succeeded and did its job well, it also cost the petitioner his home in Carroll Iowa, where he had lived for over a year without issue.

During the course of this case, the Petitioner’s right to defend himself in his own person was denied him (while incarcerated,) his ability to bail himself out reasonably was deprived him, lowering of the same was never addressed or suggested by stand-by council, depositions were also never suggested or done, the Petitioner’s right to appeal was ignored, all of his important witnesses were dismissed from testifying (the Friday before the Monday of trial), all pertinent evidence filed by the petitioner was ruled irrelevant (the Friday before the Monday trial) and no promised “poll of the jury” to determine whether a new trial was needed was ever done, following the verdict of the jury.  Every due process and civil right of the Petitioner has been violated in the process of these proceedings; and the State of Iowa still stands in their pulpit with innocent puppy eyes and blatantly denies a single wrong-doing.  This petitioner will, without question, continue to show that Polk County does not believe in true justice, for what could very well be the rest of his days, should this judge prove no better than her peers, by deciding against the Petitioner in this case.  The Petitioner, in conclusion, hopes to be surprised by the decision, in opposition to the expected one.

Respectfully,
Christopher (Bruce) The Living Man"

Stay tuned for the results of this fiasco, following my return to my new home, on July 7th or 8th.  Quite possibly, this will only be a one day trial, considering the fact that I, once again, have no real witnesses that need to testify.  Kind of reminds me of the last case, where they dismissed all of the witnesses that could hurt their case, leaving me with only 11 character witnesses....who they then asked to go home for the first two days, since the prosecution was still parading THEIR list of witnesses...on the 3rd day...as they and I both expected, these remaining 11 witnesses just...didn't show up again.  Gee, I can't understand why not??

Anyway, don't bother crossing your fingers.  I don't expect any real miracles, nor do I expect justice.  I just expect that this will be no different that any other trial....except that, as the loser, I'll end up having to owe them more than I already owe them for it.  :D
