DENIAL OF ATTNY FOR INDIGENT SCRUTINIZED

Misdemeanor defendants are complaining about requests for representaion being denied again.   

POLITICAL DISCLAIMER FOR SENTINEL

Any snide remarks, uncomfortable truths or plain out insults published on The Sentinel are mine, only mine and will remain only mine.   On the same token, any positive, pleasant and absolute truths that I publish are my and only MY opinion.  You may share those opinions but the ones I publish are MINE.   I feel the need to clarify because The way I work is to vett the candidates and report what I find.   

   In that reporting about an SJC District Clerk candidate, I referenced the backlog of cases Lee Hon left.  From the call I got from her friend, the best candidate was afraid people might think she was slinging mud and wanted to avoid any appearance of wrong doing.  What a lady.  But then she does work for and has been trained by  thePolk Co District Clerk, the best in this part of Texas.  

    Our incumbant District Clerk  in SJC , Ms. Currie on the other hand can be quite rude, dismissive and definately inefficient when it comes to the necessary flow of information and documentation to the court and criminal justice system.   My personal experience that I wrote about in the past was when two people went in for copies of the same file and one was charged the legal ten cents per page and the other (ME) was charged a dollar a page by Ms. Currie for the same exact file.  

   I do have a source that claims Ms. Currie's reluctance to send out the notices required by law is so those attorneys are forced to come in and pay for a copy and the certification of that copy  building her up a slush fund.  We are going to seek open records on all of the fees collected by Ms. Currie and the corresponding deposits into the county coffers and see where that leads.  Come on Monday morning.

FREYER'S FOLLIES AND THE SMOKING GUN

BELOW are the fruits of several open records requests that were answered.  We requested the video from SJC for the same days but were denied.  The judge aknowledged receiving my request and stated in email that he had forwarded it to the S.O. who was over courthouse security and the PIO for SJC.  Neither answered or provided the video from SJC.   Finally, I was told that the recording system had 'over written' itself and they never got the request.   Reeks of the ADA cahooting with the IT guy or sheriff to keep me from getting the proof he skipped work those days.   Just like my daddy taught me, the secret to raising boys was know the answer before you ask the question.

    Herein lies the proof that Freyer is a liar, a thief and willing to tamper with govt documents and falsify payroll records  to fraud the tax payers.  And he wants to be judge?  PALEEEESE!!!!  Hard pass on that.

   I really resent the violations of the open records laws that SJC committed but they know I won't hire a lawyer just to pursue them.  Why pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a lawyer when for 29.99 a month, I can blast them for their corruption on my front page?

Remember this classic photo of Freyer?  Has he prosecuted you or yours for child endangerment?  Have you had to pay a no seatbelt ticket in SJC?

KIRK MURDER

SHOOTER is a practicing Mormon.  They teach that Jesus is the spirit child of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. They refer to Jesus as the brother of Lucifer who proposed a better plan of redemption and won the designation “Messiah.”  They also promote and internal prophecy that the mormon church will save America in the last days.  Idiotic cult crap  Add the leftist hate rhetoric to his belief that Charlie Kirk's hero, Jesus Christ was lucifer's brother and there you go.  Anyone that will listen to an 'angel' named MORONi is lacking cognitive skills.

TRAGIC DEATH WARRANTS PROSECUTION

The recent death of a five year old child has brought about an investigation into the negligence of the adults responsible for his care and safety.  Already rocked by the death of an elderly aunt, the woman who had care and custody of the child was taking some strong prescription medicine and it was reported, left the bottle on the cabinet within reach of thechild.  After her meds had taken effect. the child apparently mimicked the adult and took more than a few of the pills.   

   There is no official statement or news release we are aware of but people close to the situation shared that the little boy's sister tried to wake the adults to let them know the boy had fallen out.  

   Close to the same age as the boy, the little girl was just put back to bed and his body was not discovered until the next morning our source states.

    With no official source or right to information on an open investigation, we are limited to what we can report but we are being told by the same source that steps have been taken and the negligence will be prosecuted.

LEE HON TESTS WATERS, PLANS RUN

After having remained quiet since getting his ass handed to him in his last attempt to gain office, Bill Lee 'the kid' Hon is sticking his toe into the political waters of this district  to see if anyone is listening.   Most folks will think that Hon's "poll" was the beginning of his social media efforts but he and I know that contacting facebook and telling them his favorite liethat I am  a convicted felon was his first step.   Hon knew that FB would follow their commie pinko no due process method and just disable my account with no communication.  The ole, "The process is the punishment" method he's perfected right here in east Texas.

RUMORS FLY ABOUT HOURS AND  PHOTOS

"Scrambling" was the word used to describe corrective efforts after it was rumored that video does exist contradicting the payroll documents submitted by SJC ADA "Agg" Rob Freyer for this last month's hours.  

    The rumors are true.  Documents and video do exist.  His payroll  hours documents  are fraudulent.  We have the documents 'dirty deep' freyer submitted by way of an open records request answered by DA Todd Dillon.

MURDER IN CITY OR DRUG OVERDOSE?

An early morning death occurred in the jurisdiction of Livingston P.D. at a private home.  No official news release or confirmation but a reliable source.  Details remain limited but indicators are that it involves the black community there.  We are seeking more information but according to the P.D. Spokesperson, "Nobody you need to talk to is here." 

We left a call back number

SEVERAL HOURS LATER.  No callback from P.D. but proven sources state it was Kenneth Carter, a Jack in The Box employee who died.   A man who goes by, "Dickie" who was there allegedly  may have been arrested but no confirmation.  He was at the party where Kenneth died according to witnesses.

Morphing from original concern for juvenile to withold records, the actual letter to the OAG by LIV PD cites interference with investigation, detection or prosecution as the reason they want to withold the records requested including probable cause documents.

"Probable cause documents are public record 101." I told the clerk, "if you don't have probable cause documents, you have a no probable cause arrest and that will be a problem." I added.  "The day you can arrest a grown man and not give probable cause for his arrest hasn't gotten here yet."

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TAKES BACK SEAT

Four days after the fervent oprayer for wisdom and guidance from God on "every Situation", Sam Houston's sheriff dept decides violence committed on a woman by a man male is not important or worthy of the time to even do the paperwork.  "If we arrest anyone, we  will arrest you for being the aggressor", the female victim was warned by Sam's deputy Brooks after him speaking to the abuser and his father. 

   In Texas, the officer does have the discretion whether to arrest or not,  unlike many states that have a mandatory arrest policy when evidence of an assault is present.  

That is bad enough and even to be expected when Sheriff's long time employee and prayer buddy,pictured above with hat in hand has been arrested multiple times himself for physically abusing women.   Sparta  was 'un arrested' once before the booking paperwork ink was dry and He has  even been 'not arrested' at all after his most recent documented incident of abusing a woman in front of witnesses, both overlookingswere at the hand of DA Bret Ligon's office in Mont Co.  Sam just likes to threaten to take away her kids if an attractive  young mother won't meet up with him one on one. 

    As appalling as these misogynist ass holes are, the fact that a female top law enforcement person in position in SJC to file charges has confirmed she has all of the evidence, She never bothered to call back and say she got it as requested.   Instead, she had to be tracked down to confirm it thus the 'back seat' headline.  The same father and son who claimed the victim was the aggressor also said she was on meth.  The victim  submitted to a drug test for the lady lawman proving they lied about that.  Still nothing.  It has been over two weeks since the injuries.   The victim went to  the hospital the next day because of those cuts, scrapes and bruises.   These two photos of her injuries are not but a small portion of the evidence.

SHERIFF APPEALS TO BIKERS AND DRUNKS FOR FUNDS

In a repeat of Sheriff Sam Houston's campaign strategy, he is holding a fund raiser at The Shifters Roadhouse biker bar just north of Coldspring according to a FB post.  

    It was about a year ago that a local man was killed when exiting the Shifters  Roadhouse parking lot on his motorcycle after drinking and pulling right out in front of an oncoming vehicle.   The FB post extols the alleged virtues of Sam Houston winning a court battle that never was.  The case was thrown out without the first bit of evidence ever being presented in open court by a corrupt, "the fix is in" judge.  In so doing, rampant election violations of law were ignored in San Jacinto County.  CHAMBERS COUNTY takes a dim view of election fraud and did something about it.  SJC, not so much.

VFD responds and puts out the fire.  No report of structure loss.  "We are not under a burn ban", one long time volunteer fireman aknowledged, "but it is too dry to burn." she lamented after the battle.

FBI IGNORES CRIMINAL ACTIVITY . . . . .  WHY?

Could it be because the patent on the process of stealing elections comes from the federal level and to expose the illegal activity of the recent SJC sheriff race would draw attention to D.C.?

    Think about it.  Step one.  Allow a bunch of illegal voters to register to vote.

Step Two.  Allow a bunch of illegal voters to vote.

Step Three.  Illegally manipulate the results of the election

Step four.  Appoint a 'compliant' 'the fix is in' visiting Judge.

Step Five.  Fail to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate

Step Six.  Ignore that the prosecutor with jurisdiction's investigator is one of the criminal voters and that he 'fails' to uncover the crimes.

A recent conversation with SJC Treasurer, Dee Dee Baily took the form of a lawn mowing if my butt was grass.  Ms. Baily started with being miffed that my website had her name on it twice and I had not called her.  She further stated that she had never referred the requestors to the DA and that, "I gave them everything I had" as far as records of payments to the county by Waggin Tails.

    My first step was to go back to my original source, the requestor, and tell them what she chewed on me about.  He chuckled and said, yes she did give us everything she had. . . . . . NOTHING.   I did assure the treasurer that in the interest of truth, I would submit an open records request for their original open records request and all the documents she provided them and then make any correction that was warranted based on what I could document.  That request has been submitted.

TEXAS RANGERS INVESTIGATE 'WAGGIN TAILS'

The DAWG Money' non profit established under the name of Sam Houston's wife is being investigated for financial misconduct per documents obtained from the Texas Attorney General.  A concerned citizen recently requested of SJC Auditor, Margie Ainsworth and Treasurer, Dee Dee Baily for an accounting of all of the contributions to SJC that the dawg money operation has made in the form of adoption fees, etc.  Auditor Ainsworth, who was fired from Polk County for illegal and unethical auditing practices there, nor SJC Treasurer Dee Dee Baily agreed to answer the request stating that they would have to run it by the DA.  

   Normally, only the local DA's in Texas counties assign a Texas Ranger to a case but this assignment comes from the DPS Asst Director according to a string of emailsbetwen investigators and the Texas Attorney General's office.

   In an interview with the lead C.I.D. investigator into the Dawg non profit, Agent DelGado was asked if his ongoing investigation was called off when the election contest case was thrown out.  He stated, "I heard there was a trial of some sort but I did not keep up with it because it had no bearing on my investigation.".        

When I asked him if there was a Texas Ranger on the case as indicated in the emails from him that I had obtained, Delgado stated that he would confirm that there was an investigation but would not give specifics about the investigation but did state again that, "Nothing changed" when the lawsuit was thrown out.

PUBLIC RECORDS PROVE CRIMES

Once the Election Contest suit was  dismissed by Judge McCaig, the evidence collected in the investigation was obtained via open records request.  The evidence proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that several hundreds of  illegal voters were registered and illegal votes cast in the primary race for SJC Sheriff.  Illegal votes that far exceed the 107 vote margin of difference between the two candidates.

   It has become clear why the Election Administrator and her staff resigned suddenly and retained a criminal defense attorney immediatly.  

  A recent NEWS STORY  many have seen of the election judge in Minnosota or some yankee state being arrested and charged with felony crimes for allowing unregistered voters to cast their ballots bring the local issue to the forefront.  

SJC  ELECTION  INVESTIGATION WIDENS AND NARROWS

    A fairly broad spectrum of evidence is leading to a narrow conclusion or two.

   Just like a prism divides white light into separate colors, scrutiny has spread the evidence into distinct categories.

   One of the categories appears to be the, "right under your nose" category.  

Judge McCaig said in his opening remarks at the initial hearing, "I have read the origitnal petitions.  I've read the answers.  I've read the motion for summary judgement and I've read the response to it.  so whnever you begin your arguement, use that as kind of a basis. I know you are going to want to lay some foundation which is fine, I'll give you every opportunity that you need to do that with that said, let's get on with it."

The EXACT language of paragraph III of the original petition covered venue and JURISDICTION and said this:

Now when it is embarassing what happened and no one in power seems to want to let the evidence get to court.  Now he lacks jurisdiction?

UPDATE 10/16/2024

RANGERS INVESTIGATE

Calls placed to Onalaska PD Chief, Byron Dunaway  have gone unanswered or returned.  Other sources indicate that the SRO has been placed on Administrative Leave as is normal under these type circumstances.  We have been able to confirm that the Texas Rangers are conducting an investigation and that the area in which the weapon was discharged is normally under video and audio recording.  We know already that the DA's office will be reluctant to discuss the case but we made a call to them anyway.  

    One LEO source indicates the case will be referred to the Grand Jury under Penal Code 22.041 (b) A person commits an offense if the person, having custody, care, or control of a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual, intentionally abandons the child or individual in any place under circumstances that expose the child or individual to an unreasonable risk of harm.

    According to records, The City of Onalaska issued a Glock 40 to the SRO, a gun with NO positive lock SAFETY mechinism.  

 No one has even mentioned charging the student, Ms. (Olgletree) Tompkins under the Penal Code 38.14 Sec. 38.14. TAKING OR ATTEMPTING TO TAKE WEAPON FROM PEACE OFFICER

That crime is a 3rd degree felony.

We did reach out to the Onalaka school Supt and found out the area is under audio and video cameras.  We have not been able to confirm if the Rangers obtained that evidence yet but presume they did.

STUDENT GRABS SCHOOL COP'S GUN

An Onalaska school student grabbed at a School Resource Officer's (SRO) gun causing a 'negligent discharge' of his weapon during an after hours school function on school grounds.  The narrative on facebook and other sources indicates she had challenged the officer about grabbing his gun to which he replied, "you can't, it is locked into the holster" referencing the, 'snap in' function of the hard plastic style holster.  According to sources, she grabbed at the weapon and it was his struggle to prevent it that caused the discharge.

    Critics claim he should not have been talking to the student at all.  The student is from an influential family so lets see where this goes.  The officer has never had a complaint made against him to The Sentinel.

NEW POLICE CHIEF NAMED

Byron Dunaway, a former PCSO deputy has been hired as the police chief for the City of Onalaska and has now been on the job for two days.  Former Chief, Jessica Stanton has taken a job with the Polk County Sheriff's Office.  In an interview, she touted, "Politics" as the reason for her departure when asked by an investigative journalist but friends claim on FB that it was just for, "a better opportunity".  

    Our last investigation by open records request into Byron Dunaway showed no complaints or reprimands in his file before the one The Sentinel submitted in writing to sheriff Ken Hammack.  I just have to wonder if that one  made it into his file.  Dunaway and I had a run in over here in SJC while he was in uniform and a marked patrol vehicle for Polk Co. S.O. when he tried to be a bully me and push his weight around in my county.  Dunaway found out quick that The Sentinel pushes back.  We have not had anymore complaints since then.

STUA TAKES OUT DA, AIMS FOR JUDGES

Greetings to the Judges of Angelina County,

On October 19, 2018, I sent an email to multiple Judges of Angelina County notifying them I was going to sue them.  A copy of that email is contained in the attachments.  The name of the file is “2019-10-28 Filed No. 2019-0291 Defendant's Amended Motion for Recusal of Trial Judges .pdf.”  See pages 4-5.  I was arrested for false charges for a Facebook live video that I produced and broadcasted on December 6, 2018.  I believe the arrest was the corroborative effort and conspiracy involving Doug Conn, Judge Ball, Judge Inselmann, Joe Martin, and Judge White.  While I don’t directly accuse Judge Cassels or Janet Cassels in the conspiracy, their actions over the years contributed to the arrest.  Both of them sought to demonize me for requesting public information.   They couldn’t go within 1000 feet of the aforementioned Judges without telling them how bad I was and that I would harm them as well.  They set the stage for the events that happen regarding the false arrest at a minimum. 

In today’s previous email, I sent a notice of intent to sue. I am anticipating false charges as before.  Be well advised anyone that involves themselves in a conspiracy to falsely arrest me will see a different result than the last time.   I am well prepared and will make sure the property authorities are notified or others will on my behalf.

VOTER FRAUD IS REAL   Gov Abbott

POLLS CLOSE AS MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD SURFACES

The total number of proveable fraudulent votes cast in SJC has increased to a number north of 400 votes.  Sam Houston has failed to answer the petition for a contested election by the time prescribed by law.  Reliable sources state the more than one state agency is investigating.   Manifold voters voted in two counties.  At a minimum, the fraud effects Liberty and Montgomery County also.  The legal action is technically not against Sam Houston but rather the administration of the election.  

   It is unlikely the entire SJC election would be overturned if no other candidates join the suit. It would only be the sheriff race.   All indicators are that the process is on the fast track to get the initial ruling so the matter can move forward.  We will keep an eye on the 411th docket for a posting.

DISMISSED

Interference with public duty charges were dismissed against Brandon White, "In the interest of Justice" according to documents filed in Polk County.  ADA Pierce made the motion and the court granted it helping rid the halls of justice of one more 'stinker' that Lee Hon 'let' on his way out the door.  

    Lee treated Polk Co Kind of like a soccer mom that has all the door and window locks at her mini van finger tips and some  bad gas.  Kids don't mind. . the process (ride) is the punishment.

ALL HAT NO CATTLE HON/COLEMAN LOSES

TEXAS SUPREME COURT SMACKS DOWN

Tommy Coleman lost his bid to punish the Polk Co Enterprise for a story they published after The Sentinel had published the information.  The suit was filed to silence the Polk County Enterprise.  That effort was effective on them to the point they even cut the reporter loose for her accurate, honest and true reporting.  Publisher Bowed down to pressure.  

A win for journalism no doubt.  Winner journalists don't bow.

Long time child advocate, Rosemary Covalt who did for H.I.S.D. what the legendary, Marvin Zindler did for TDC many years ago was so disappointed that Gov Abbot endorsed the Dark Money candidate, Holt over the staunch defender of our public schools system, Ernest Bailes.  "Why would you (/gov Abbott) want to tear down something we have all worked so hard to build?"   Covalt asked.  

    Abbotts T.E.A. seems determined to wrest the local control of public schools away from local voters one way or another.  Either decimate the funding source with vouchers or just flat change the values of X and Y in their arbitrary grading formulas till they "fail" and  take it over.  Then they can appoint their own board like they did in Houston and Shepherd.  Bring in their own 'boss'.

JP HEARING AT COURTHOUSE

A Grassroots level hearing has, "gotten some traction" according to one criminal justice worker in San Jacinto County.  A hearing to resolve the dispute over personal property seized by the corrupt pct 3 constable has been moved from the JP office to the San Jacinto County courthouse dockett for February 6th.  The Honorable JP RandyEllisor wil conduct the hearing.  In an interview in one of three conversations with Peter Sparta yesterday, he shared that Sam Houston had called and told him he (Sparta) was the arresting officer and would have to testify.  

  Other documents received at the Sentinel Offices shows a request for subpoena for the SJC deputies who were at the scene.   The complainant was able to produce photographic evidence of a beautiful hand crafted muzzle loading black powder flint lock rifle that any prudent owner would keep in a safe.

CORRUPT CONSTABLE COVERS CORRUPT COP

    Records recently received at The Sentinel offices  may be 25 years old but still reflect the character of the person they pertain to and the constable who keeps on covering for him.  Granted a deferred adjudication is not a conviction and thus the arrest could not prevent Sparta from obtaining his TCOLE but they do serve as proof he was arrested and charged.  Felony Robbery and Misdomeaner Theft are the two crimes recorded in the public record.  In case Sparta starts claiming 'Photoshop' again, we included the case numbers and other pertinenent info.   Not only does this document lend more credibility to the property owners claim that several guns seized by the Corrupt constable and his sidekick were not listed,  It also makes me wonder if allegations by a woman some years ago that Sparta took 800 dollars out of her purse during a stop may be true.  No proof was found and no charges were filed but the allegations were made in writing to the S.O.   "Yeah they tried to pin that on me but never did", Sparta explained when we discussed those allegations.

    This article is not really about Sparta.  It is about Sam Houston's hiring practices.  All of the info below was available to him as constable.  How does the ole saying go?  "Birds of a Feather"

1/8/2024NACOGDOCHES  SJC INMATE INJURED AGAIN

The San Jacinto County inmate who brought the prosecutorial misconduct case against ADA Freyer  has been injured again.  Lana Shadwick's client,Kenneth Gibson was moved to Polk Co Jail 'for protection' and Lyons brought in a TDCJ inmate, failed to find a weapon on him and exposed Gibson to him.  Gibson was stabbed and cut ending up in the hospital.  Byron Lyons failed to notify SJC Jail their inmate was injured until after The Sentinel ran the story.  

    Subsequently, Gibson's attny Shadwick  proved ADA Freyer had illegally searched his cell and taken lawyer client papers in Polk Coright under Byron Lyon's nose. Gibson was then moved to Nacogdoches County Jail for 'protection'.  

   Now Sentinel sources proved Gibson was in the hospital with spinal injuries and a brain bleed.  The Major at the Nacogdoches jail claims there was no assault and that Gibson, "took a fall".  

    We are seeking more information.

EMERGENCY ORDER SOUGHT

A motion to go ahead amd release Kenneth Gibson on a plea deal reached with the new prosecutor, Pro Tem  BEFORE the  life threatening incident occurred has been submitted by Gibson's attorney, Lana Shadwick.   To a court observer, like The Sentinel, it appears that intentional stalls in executing a 'time served' plus plea deal has allowed two seperate distant jails to  exppse an Arian 'tatted' prisoner to a known environment dangerous to him.  

    When questioned as to why he craw fished on the plea deal he already offered, the prosecutor Pro Tem admitted he had been pressured to do so by his phone, "blowing up".  Now we have three seperate counties involved with Liability for Gibson's safety.  

    Granted, ADA Rob Freyer took a butt chewing from The Honorable 12th District Judge, David Mooreman who stood up for the inmates, "lawyer/client privilege rights.  Still  this whole stalled out mess REEKS of retaliation.   Stabbed and sliced with razor wire in Polk Co.  No one reports it to SJC until I run the story.  Now a spinal injury and a brain bleed that was not reported to SJC until The Sentinel called Gibson's attorney asking why he was moved from Nacogdoches jail.   We were expecting to hear that the offered plea deal had been completed but, upon inquiry, we were notified that Gibson was in the Tyler UTMB hospital with a spinal injury and brain bleed.
