CalPatty Press Reporter …for Crooked County Crooks

Travesty of Justice Case headed to US SUPREME COURT

A case that has been in the WV court system since 2004… has finally worked it’s way out of the infamous Crooked County… down to Washington DC where it will be heard before the Supreme Court!

A motley cast of characters… and a” Who’s Who of Lawyers,” have either consulted on this case, or currently represent the defendant in one form or another. The attorney hired as a consultant in February of 2006 practices in New York and Ohio, another attorney, Shannon Norvalle, from Los Angeles, California, correctly predicted the current outcome, making a early prediction, as early as March of 2006 “… the case would go all the way to West Virginia’s Supreme Court!”

The beautiful Shannon was correct, as the case was heard on the 19th of September 2007. Exactly 5 years and 8 months after Gerry Hough became involved.

“This case may be one of the most expensive cases in Crooked County history and it has been confirmed by the top Lawyers in the nation ” … it should have never been brought before the courts!”

Meaning, in actuality ,the state had no case, just a “hard on” for the defendant!

Thanks Gerry, why don’t you get your ass back on that Kibbutz in Israel and wash some more dishes, it will save us all a lot of money!

Private investigators also have revealed some specific information on this case, after they looked into it, in the fall of 2004. Also, in the summer of 06, an astute attorney, Roger Williams, called the Gilmer County Court house on some fact finding missions, to confirm statements made by the judge at sentencing, and discovered that– This case had become knee deep in misconduct, which included…. names known all to well to us, here at the Cal Patty Press!

They are all straight out of Crooked County!

No Surprise there!

Some of the most compelling evidence we found, involving this case, is the “Secret Tape” that proves beyond any doubt whatsoever that, ” Marilyn Matheny the States Expert Witness” lied to a grand jury, and lied during the Crooked County trial!

Here is the transcript of that tape that proves it all…. as the real expert from “Lemon Equipment in Parkersburg tells the truth!”

“State Witness Marilyn Matheny lies and says junk equipment worth $2498.00 …gets innocent man indicted on Felony charges!”

John ….the “real expert” says it’s only worth $390.00 at best!

After GERALD B HOUGH and MATHENY are busted for presenting false value to a GRAND JURY they reduce the value to $1100.00 just over FELONY LEVEL and file new indictment.

…SO HOUGH and Matheny lied twice to a Grand Jury!

SECRET TAPE Implicates Prosecutor and Marilyn Matheny for FALSE TESTIMONY to GRAND JURY!

John was the real, “Expert” on value of equipment, at one of the largest Farm equipment outlets in West Virginia, dealing in new and used equipment!

Matheny was paid a lot of Money by Hough… and the state to tell lies!

This “Secret Tape” proves it!

For a defendant to WIN in the West Virginia Supreme Court is a rare occurrence ! You have about as much chance of winning in the Supreme Court as an NFL team does in getting a shot at the SUPER BOWL! First, of course, you have to win a few play off games. As earlier reported, the “Travesty of Justice” case, WON the first round in November of 2006 and won the second round in January of 2007!

Round Three.. came to a vote of 3 to 2 with Justice Starcher and Justice Albright voting in the defendants favor mentioning his defense counsel F JOHN OSHOWAY should be sited for ineffective assistance of counsel for tossing the Gilmer County Circuit Court case when it could have easily been won.

(F John Oshoway left-showed up 20 minutes late to 2nd day of trial)

The State Attorney General  prosecuted the “Travesty” case as Hough had been excused! Is it because the state can’t trust him to win… because he is a dishonest lawyer?

The defendant remained calm at trial, in spite of Judge Richard (Dick) Facemire reading hate letters, (from the defendants X-girlfriend and his cousin that was now having a sexual relationship with his X-and how fricking West Virginia is that?!) against the Laws and procedure of the state of West Virginia. Also in spite of the fact… FACEMIRE called the defendant despicable at sentencing, February 27th, 2006

What this reporter finds amusing is the judge couldn’t even pronounce despicable correctly! It is pronounced des-pi-kuh-ble NOT- DIS SPIC A BLE. (taped in secret!)

The contemptible, loathsome and reprehensible speech from “Facemire” during the sentencing was completely omitted from the court record! That’s right. Kelly White must have felt that that she needed to cover for the judge as stated by a well known West Virginia attorney!

************* ********* ************* *********
And now a partial transcript of the, “Secret tape!”

BILL MARTIN represented the defendant for much of 2004 and arranged an interview with, “JOHN” from Lemon Equipment. This interview was set up via telephone from Martins office. This interview took place in September of 2004. Marilyn Matheny rudely breaks into the interview in which JOHN was involved in identification of equipment and giving his expert opinion of values.

The defense had every right to conduct this interview and it was WRONG of Matheny to be involved. Although it was not known to Bill Martin at the time that Marilyn Matheny was a witness for the state, Matheny knew it and was a total hindrance to the investigation. This hindrance issue, may come up at a later date and possible civil action against Matheny for providing false testimony regarding the value of equipment in question. (below, ACTUAL transcript of SECRET TAPE)

Interviewer: See this Brush Hog right here?

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: NO You’re lookin at it at the present time.

(Interviewer turns photo around so that JOHN can clearly see it )

Interviewer: NOW.. YOU’RE looking at it !

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: You must have been the man who called me from up in Gods country

Interviewer: Sutton?

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: Uh huh.. It’s an old international Brush Hog (looking at photo)

Interviewer: How much do you think it’s worth?

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: Its an international, it has an international A FRAME…about a hundred dollars.

Interviewer: About a hundred bucks? Like it is?

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: Yeah, want a price on the potato plow too?

Interviewer: YES

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: Twenty dollars

Interviewer: AND THIS?

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: It’s a Rototiller

Unidentified PERSON: Are you a buyin or sellin ( bystander breaks in)

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: COURT! That’s an Agri tiller right there.

*********************

MARILYN MATHENY NOW RUDELY COMES IN AND INTERRUPTS Interview

Marilyn Matheny: ah.. is this the same thing I’ve got back there from the prosecuting attorney?

Interviewer: I don’t know

Marilyn Matheny: Is this the same thing..ah I a.. I gotta go to..when is the court hearing on this?

Interviewer: I don’t know, it’s up in the air right now.

Marilyn Matheny: Couldn’t be, the court hearing is this tuesday.. it’s the same equipment, how come you got pictures that are different than what I got?

Matheny becomes as confused as a baby in a topless bar!

Interviewer: I don’t know.. I think these are BETTER PICTURES!

JOHN-Lemon Equipment:( John.. laughs and laughs ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Interviewer: I have the BETTER PICTURES!

(more laughing by John)

(Above BILL MARTIN defense counsel that got case dismissed in 2004, but Hough wanted to spend more state money and refiled then added 2 more phony felony charges in 2005 but they were defeated in a hostile court with hostile jury!)

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: “look there I told you it was an agri!” (John was doing his best

to identify and provide values as requested by Bill Martin)

Interviewer: “YOU ARE the EXPERT!”

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: “that’s an ole boom pole right there about twenty dollars on it”

********************

Conversation continues and John is asked again to confirm the VALUE of the brush hog and he states, “yes a hundred dollars and ten or 20 on the boom pole”

Matheny gets upset and runs back to the office saying, ” I’m gonna show you MY pictures, I’m gonna show ya MY pictures!”

Marilyn Matheny at this point in the digital audio file, sounded like…

“That she must have felt like…she was trying to poke a cat out from under the porch with a rope!“

(Secret tape and Audio file continues)

Interviewer: What’s the international 4 Row Cultivator?

(John points to a picture on the counter at Lemon Equipment)

JOHN-Lemon Equipment: That’s..that ole cultivator right there..It’s only worth about 50 bucks!

HOUGH and MATHENY told the Grand Jury the Cultivator had a value of $398.00

John ..”THE EXPERT at LEMON EQUIPMENT clearly on the secret tape said $50.00

Mathenyis UPSET because now it can be PROVED that she and GERRY HOUGH gave the Crooked County Grand Jury FALSE VALUE for the BRUSH HOG as.. the price given to the Grand Jury was $485.00!

John said $100.00 Marilyn LIED and so did prosecutor Gerry Hough to a GRAND JURY!

They LIED about the Cultivator too!! HOUGH said $398.00 real price $50.00

Matheny and HOUGH lied about the value of all the equipment!

HOUGH and Matheny had someone arrested on Grand Larceny charges when it was…

ALL A LIE!

Further that person was held on a bail of $250,000.00 for rusted farm equipment! The Brush hog was not in the least bit functional!

One quarter of a million dollars bail… so the seasoned veteran broadcaster that was starting his new RADIO SHOW at KBED 102.9 FM 2-7 pm could not start the new show that was just days away!

Hell.. Marilyn doesn’t even live near the Crooked River!

Matheny on the audio file(secret tape) now gets pissed because she is now BUSTED along with her “brush hog buddy” Gerry Hough!

We at the CalPatty Press feel…. that what Gerry Hough and Matheny did was a CRIME!

Busted flat at LEMON EQUIPMENT in Parkersburg! Marilyn Matheny now goes ZANY!

The quality of this AUDIO FILE and SECRET TAPE is even better than the one of the ten minute INSANE courtroom RANT of Judge Facemire February 27th 2006!

THE INSANE RANT MISSING FROM THE COURT RECORD!

********************

(Secret tape continued!)

Matheny goes ZANY!

Matheny runs back into the room,“You looky here, you looky here!”

Marilyn Matheny acts like she’s trying to put sox on a Rooster!

Matheny  brings back photos that were published in the CROOKED COUNTY RAG.. The Glenville Demo-crap!

The Demo-crap was asked FOUR times to provide those photos in 2004, once in 2006 and now in 2009 for Federal Court but they refused!

The Demo-crap also published FALSE information in that 2002 article that included the pictures and now will not release the article!

Wrap your fish in the Glenville Demo-crap, and then breathe in that Crooked County air until it smells like Bullshit!

CalPatty Press offers the smell of the Glenville-DEMO CRAP in handy and convenient spray can!

***************

Marilyn Matheny:You looky here…you looky here!”

“You compare that boom pole compared to this one!”

Marilyn tries to convince John that the pictures published in the Glenville Democrat are different than the equipment John is looking at in the photo’s.(as seen above)

JOHN-Lemon Equipment:” Marilyn Marilyn Marilyn Marilyn,” he says Marilyn four times!

“It’s the same equipment!”

What Matheny didn’t know was that JOHN had talked to BILL MARTIN on the phone and KNEW the equipment shown to him in the photos were pictures taken with MARTIN present! The interview was set up by Martins office to establish value of equipment!

Martin planned on being there himself, but couldn’t make it at the last minute. Bill Martin heard this tape and was sent a digital version of this same interview.

At the end of the HIGH QUALITY AUDIO FILE, Matheny loses her cool and yells and screams and gets GERRY HOUGH on the phone. She threatens JOHN with court and he says he would rather GO TO JAIL then go to court.

WOW! Matheny calls Gerald B Hough up on the Crooked County Hill…

“…Where the men are men and the goats are scared!”

**********************

John Oshoway was the defense trial counsel for the “Travesty of Justice” case which is the subject of the above article.

Bill Martin did all the leg work, and tapes are legal and can be used in court in WV!

Oshoway did NOT use this tape at trial! When asked why, he had no answer!

The investigative attorney hired after Oshoway showed up LATE to the second day of trial feels strongly that Oshoway decided to throw the case for the prosecution. A serious ethical breach and several other Attorneys agree!

It was revealed recently the defendant desired to FIRE F. JOHN OSHOWAY the second day of trial for not objecting to Hough’s lies to the jury!

The defendant was told by one of West Virginia’s top trial attorneys, “You should have fired him, my mother could have defended you better at trial!”

All three Felony charges brought at trial were defeated!

However, a misdemeanor conviction and subsequent sentence was arranged due to “Home Cookin” from Crooked County!

“The experts said they(HOUGH-OSHOWAY-FACEMIRE)) had a year jail sentence planned all along, for farm equipment that can now be proved was heirship property…right from the start!”

“The only crime that occurred, was the Crime HOUGH CREATED!”

So therefore there was No infraction of any kind!

All Lawyers across the USA that are privy to the facts of this case, predict victory for the defendant in Supreme Court!

However, we can show that this case, according to West Virginia Law should have never even been brought to trial!

It was ALL a set up!

This entire indictment was bogus and that is a Criminal infraction by the CROOKS from CROOKED COUNTY that live next to the CROOKED RIVER! If Hough and Facemire are really the Lawyers they pretend to be, they should have been educated to West Virginia Law!

Certain facts of this case will show that HOUGH and FACEMIRE will have NO IMMUNITY in this court case!

That is a RARE situation indeed!

Roger Williams served as a prosecutor for 17 years before becoming a defense counsel in Charleston, discovered after asking Courthouse employee’s that were present at sentencing if the Judge Richard (Dick) Facemire called the defendant “despicable” at sentencing ! Many confirmed this indeed happened, but the court reporter KELLY WHITE left it out of the sentencing transcript that was purchased for 1600 dollars for study by attorney Jefferson Triplett of Elkins, WV!

Calhoun County attorney F John Oshoway was defense trial counsel in Circuit Court. All of the experts concur, that Calhoun County attorney F John Oshoway brought forth a very poor defense!!

In the “Travesty Case” that was an initial Felony indictment in March of 2003, born from charges entered in January of 2002, the experts say what it all boils down to is…

“Charges should have never been brought in the first place!”

The defendants NY consultant is extremely upset, as he states emphatically, his client was “… drug across state lines in chains, for what at most was a misdemeanor charge, of which he was totally innocent of anyway…and can prove it!”

This “secret” attorney feels firmly it is just another 1983 civil rights violation of which he has a similar case in NY. In that case his client was on National News after being incarcerated for a crime that never happened.(Violation of a federal statute may also give rise to liability under 42 U.S. §1983 ) Two witnesses in the NY case finally admitted they lied. One was bribed for the lowly price of a pack of cigarettes.

In this instance, in Crooked County WV, it is a similar situation, only it had to be proved via documents of title and tax records. Hough’s misconduct also regarding the case to be heard before the US Supreme Court has crossed the line of immunity due to the malicious prosecution and the fact that he knowingly presented false evidence to a Grand Jury and a trial jury as well.

¡Por ejemplo uno de los testigos de los estados, Roanna Rafferty de Orlando la Florida, testified that she owned 1/6 of 155 acres of surface property! Since the trial, a very expensive title opinion confirmed she actually only owned 1/72 ! A huge difference!

Gerry’s love of Lesbians rang true that day in Crooked County Circuit Court in 2005, since this particular witness, is a self-proclaimed lesbian complete with drill Sgt looking girlfriend!

Gerry of course convinced the jury that she owned 1/6 and then convinced the jury that the defendants family only owned 1/6 and 1/9 while tax documents revealed that they paid taxes on 3/6 which equals 1/2 of 155 acres of surface property near the Calhoun County line.

Gerry Lied to the trial jury and he lied to a Grand Jury not once, but twice!

Hough adds two more felony charges involving Timber cut to pay taxes in 2005!

Only “… the lie cost a little more than a pack of cigarettes as that witness was paid over $700 for that lie on the stand!” That same witness was caught in a lie on the stand saying she had not been paid money for TIMBER. The defense produced two 500 dollar money orders sent to the lying Lesbian witness for the state dated for the date in question of May 2002 for Timber cut to pay for property taxes on the farm.

“…That witness should have been impeached on the spot, but not in Crooked County Circuit Court!”

Investigators have asked Crooked County Circuit Court Clerk, LAME SMITH, for a copy of the evidence provided by the defense, so it can be included in a report to the US dept of Justice, but he has refused to provide the document.

It is further revealed the family now claims that they had already paid the taxes once before they became delinquent in 2002 and the records recently surfaced to prove this true. They are now certain that MICHELLE DAWN ROSE also took a $4, 445.00 from them and pocketed the money, which is what prompted the circumstances for cutting the timber in the first place.

In Circuit Court testimony in Dec of 2005 a witness for the defense stated she thought she paid the out of state property taxes and Hough jumped all over the witness and said, “How can you think you paid them!” ” As it turns out the testimony was correct!”

What really happened is that they were paid. Rose took the money, said the taxes weren’t paid and billed them again, prompting an emergency cutting-of-Timber, before the farm was lost.

Unfortunately, the farm had to be sold to pay for the five lawyers and two consultants that worked on the defense “… and lets not forget the 43,2oo dollar misdemeanor cash bail!”

You notice how when cops get in trouble they can rack up 8 felonies but the bail is only 1000 bucks! Just like Mickey Kendall!

After the “Travesty of Justice” case was successfully dismissed by defense trial counsel BILL MARTIN in OCT of 2004, Gerry thought he would try again, so made up so more charges and it was on again by 2005.

Gerald B Hough committed more misconduct in this one case than anyone can believe since the “Ron Bandy” trial.
