How would you like to be just like Sheriff J. Jones, The Sheriff of
a local town I Alabama?

You might just qualify. Under current Alabama law, you must meet
three criteria to run for sheriff in your home county.

"Eighteen years-of-age, a resident of the county for 24 hours and
not have any felony convictions," said Jay Jones, Lee County
sheriff. (From an article dated Dec 26, 2005)
Imagine that. If you have no felonies and are18 you can become a
Sheriff in a town you only moved into 24 hours ago.

I knew them good old boys had to meet some kind of requirements. Up
here in New York, those same requirements might get you a job
walking someone’s dog. It sure as hell won’t get a badge on your
chest and a gun on your hip though.

Interesting fact though, with as little as is required to become a
Sheriff; these people felt they knew enough to not require extra
assistance in a triple homicide. They also felt they knew enough to
evaluate Vaughan’s autopsy report.

They were wrong though.

Even with a much more extensive background then required, Sheriff
Jones failed to pick up on the conflicting information in Vaughan’s
autopsy report. Deputy Hall, meeting little more then the
requirements, thought he had enough background to make public
statements and leave a crime seen unattended.

Sheriff Jones must also agree that that these requirements are not
sufficient for the local law enforcement officers. I say this
because of a public statement made in 2005 also included Jones
saying the following:
The Alabama Sheriffs Association will ask legislators to raise the
minimum age to 21, increase the length of residence, require three
years of law enforcement experience and be a sworn peace officer.

I find it funny how shortly after putting the case of the boys and
Vaughn to rest, and realizing that a family member was going to
continue her battle to find out what truly happened, that Jones
would feel that additional requirements were needed.

Is it possible that Jones and The Alabama Sheriffs Association
realized that justice was not served? Could it be that they knew
that what took place in the cover up or improper investigation would
come back to haunt them? I can’t tell you.

What I can tell you is that the requirements are expected to change
some time before the end of 2010. And there is NO Sheriffs
Association that is going to change the requirements without a
reason.

Though we are still in search for the truth about the murders of
these three boys, I have a few things that I feel did come out of
their deaths.

1-Given the time frame involved, I believe that the murder of
these boys had something to do with the request for stiffer
requirements being made.

2-Sheriff Jones himself has a reason for wanting these
changes. Either he is trying to look good for his reelection this
year, or he is covering his butt.

3-A statement by Jones saying "I believe other states have
more stringent requirements, and I think it's time for the State of
Alabama to catch up with the other states and make these
qualifications more contemporary," is a clear sign that Jones does
not feel that he has adequate people within the Sheriff’s Dept.

There are a lot of things to consider in our search for the truth of
this case. The qualifications of the local Sheriff’s Dept. are one
area we need to examine.

When the Sheriff’s department says that their hiring people with too
little qualifications how are we to ever believe that they did an
investigation properly?

Sheriff Jones is one of the people behind this investigation that
went astray, did not bother to reply to our letter and has made
public statement that conflicted his own words on the boy’s murders.

These are not scary facts at all. A truly scary fact is that Jones
is up for re-election and may get to be the local Sheriff for
another term.

Here is our first chance to stand up and be heard as a group and
fight for these boys.

I ask every one of you to e-mail TheTruth@Akpcsales.net, we will
provide you with a letter requesting that Jones not be elected and
address’ to mail it to. Then I ask that each of you print and sign
your letter and mail it to the address’ we provide.

If we can stop Jones form running or being re-elected, we won our
first bout on this case. We still have a long way to go, but it will
be a great start!

This story was brought to my attendtion by one of our readers. I
thought it was worth sharing.

This week I am bring you the story. Next week I will be following up
with a petition based on the story that I think is worth being a
part of.

________

An order of removal was signed to remove my niece Geneva Johnson
from the premises of her grandmother Annie Lackey on 2/2/05 base on
a lie by an ACS case worker (Angelica Reyes). It was determined that
an emergency removal was necessary because the case worker claimed
that her grandmother exhibits bizarre behavior; and the absence of
furniture in her home with the exception of a dresser and a few
chairs.

Supervising Judge Susan Knipps of family court (60 Lafayette st)
signed the emergency removal order for Geneva Johnson with
insufficient proof and no professional testimony, no legal
representation or examination of the alleged victim who was 13 at
the time. In fact on 2/3/05 the next day the Judge did not allow
Geneva to speak in court, and her Law guardian (Natalie Albert) did
not represent Geneva's best interest in court concerning the
innocence of her grandmother. Instead they plotted to place her into
a DRC facility and have her mentally evaluated and medicated. The
Judge violated Family court act 1028 by directing Ms. Lackey's newly
appointed attorney Ms. Baronoff not to have the 72 hour hearing that
she is entitled to get Geneva back home.

In fact no family resource was contacted nor were any services
offered as required by the NYS family court act to avoid removal of
Geneva or placement into foster care. Ms. Lackey and Geneva are both
dedicated Christians of Jehovah witnesses and neither has any
history of mental illness, abuse or criminal activity. On 2/17/05 I
went to family court with the hopes to get Geneva placed into my
care until this tragedy passed over. I was informed by Angelica
Reyes and Natalie Albert: "that the only way I can get Geneva placed
into my custody is to go thru an ICPC which can take upwards from
anywhere to 3 to 6 months and until then she will have to remain in
foster care."

I knew what they were telling me did not make any sense; we're
living in America, and the law cannot possibly be that screwed up, I
remembered reasoning to my self. I next challenged the allegations
against my mother and asked for an explanation. I was informed that
my mother was believed to be mentally ill and my niece was removed
for imminent risk to life and health. I immediately asked for their
proof to this ridiculous allegation and they replied it was
confidential and that I'm not a party to this case (docket no: N
1301/05 NYS family court 60 Lafayette st.).

The Judge informed my mother that she and Geneva will have to see
the court psychiatrist to determine her mental status if she wants
her granddaughter back. Ms. Lackey never has been to a clinical
psychiatrist, thus without professional diagnosis what is the basis
for the Judge to account for an assessment? Ms. Lackey will not
comply with the Judge's wishes because it's obvious that the courts
doctors will find an unfavorable diagnosis to support the courts
claims especially since the removable was done on very deliberate
and questionable grounds. The burden of proof should fall on the
accuser not the accused.

On 3/24/05 Elvis Liburd and Robert Griffith of the dept. of social
services petitioned the Supreme Court ex parte motion part (index
400985/05) for an order to gain access into Ms. Lackey's home. They
claimed that she was mentally impaired and exhibits psychotic,
paranoid, schizophrenic behavior and that she has auditory
hallucinations amongst other things. On 3/30/05 Mr. Griffith and 6
NYPD officers and a psychiatrist showed up at Ms. Lackey's residence
in a failed attempt to force my mother into psychiatric care. I
immediately went down to confront Mr. Griffith about the fictitious
claim he bought against my mother and threatened the dept. of Social
Services with a lawsuit. They later dropped their case against my
mother (foajm.2645851). I later discovered that I can apply for
legal guardianship for Geneva; a right that was deliberately
withheld from me by ACS, family court and Geneva's law guardian.

On 6/13/05 I was denied the right to file for legal guardianship for
my niece Geneva by family court clerk Thomas O'Connor who I
immediately reported to the inspector general office with no
satisfaction till this date in writing. During Geneva's stay in
foster care, ACS has failed to enroll her into school or provide
home schooling for her. In fact Geneva has been neglected and
abused in most of the foster homes they placed her in; all her cries
for help fell upon deaf ears when those crimes were properly
reported to ACS officials, her law guardian, and the mayor's office.
I have even written to the Governor's office, John Mattingly (ACS),
the Mayor, various politicians and all law enforcement agencies on
her behalf and explained in full detail about the seriousness of the
crimes and the abuse that she is suffering each day; nobody did
anything.

Geneva grew tired of the educational neglect and the lack of help
she was receiving from those who were supposed to be protecting her.
It really bothered her that she has been to court more than 18 times
and was not allowed to have a voice in court from the Judge even
though she is now 14 years old. She was concerned as to why her fact
finding hearing did not start as of yet and she grew weary of the
psychological conditioning that they were subjecting on her each
day. Geneva decided to leave ACS custody after a failed rape attempt
at one of their facilities. She returned back to the safety of her
family late in the summer of 2005 to escape the many abuses she
endured during her tenure in ACS care.

On 12/19/05 ACS workers Sophia Nunez, Michael Navas and 6 officers
from NYPD came to Ms. Lackey's residents and forcibly removed
Geneva, painfully handcuffing her in the process while refusing to
present or leave the court order they claim they had to justify
their actions. Geneva knew she had to get away from this callous
agency that did nothing but abuse her and try to force medication on
her. She returned home to her Grandmother the next day and went to
the hospital for her sore wrist and shortness of breath and filed a
complaint against the police officers. A little over a week later on
the 28th ACS worker Charles Emanuel along with officers from NYPD
Came to Ms. Lackeys home to remove Geneva. This time Ms. Lackey
refuse to open the door until they show their court order, instead
they chose to break down the door and swarm into her apartment. P.O.
Pitts (shield # 2457) threatened to shoot Ms. Lackey on the spot if
she moved and ordered her to shut up and get off the phone. Ms.
Lackey refused because she was calling for help. The officers began
to push her around and then P.O. Cano (shield # 8153) pulled the
phone wire out of the wall then pushed Ms. Lackey who is 64 years
old out into her hallway barefoot.

Geneva was in the bathroom taking a bath when this entire ruckus
started. She was frozen and very scared and did not want to leave
her grandmother. Geneva was ordered out the bathroom by the
responding officers and she informed them that she was in the
bathtub. Next, under Sgt. Caruso command, a Swat team from the 19th
precinct with laser guided weapons and full body armor bust down the
door and pulled Geneva NAKED out of the tub in full view of the 20
or more police officer's and the ACS worker, all who were MEN. The
officers then painfully handcuffed Geneva and wrapped some sheets
around her out of the linen closets and marched her away barefoot in
the dead of winter crying like she's a savage animal or some crazed
killer. Next, they took her to Metropolitan Hospital where they
injected her with some type of medication while she is still
handcuffed with her hands behind her back. Then they put her into a
straight jacket and placed her into a psych ward at a DRC facility
on 17th street & 2nd ave. The cowardly, thuggish and terrorizing
actions of the police officers were reported to the civilian
complaint review board (case # 200515422), Internal Affairs, the
Mayors office, the Governors office, Don Mattingly (ACS), Robert
Morgenthau-District Attorney, FBI, Rep. Carolyn Maloney and a host
of others. Nobody did anything but just let the case die down.

Geneva continued to stand firm and returned home to her grandmother
on the 30th of December, 2 days after her tragic ordeal. She wrote
letters to the Mayor pleading for help, and got nothing, no
satisfaction, not even a reply. On 5/7/06 they came back again and
took her upstate and locked her up in some type of mental
institution. Why is New York City government protecting ACS and
Family Court for the obvious crimes they have committed? How many
innocent children and parents are subjected to psychiatric
evaluation; and are unnecessarily administered mood- stabilizing
drugs as a condition to retain the rights of their children?

ACS and Family court is being run like a plantation. It's a profit
driven industry, a subtle continuation of institutionalized slavery
which violates the 13th amendment against slavery and involuntary
servitude. Family court has been used to "legalize" this
racketeering scheme to rubber stamp ACS state sponsored child &
family abuse/neglect cases, and terrorize & subdue underprivileged
mothers and their children; mostly Afro-American and Latino. What do
they want with Geneva so badly? She did not commit a crime so why do
they treat her so? Why are they not educating her? Is this some type
of behavior modification experimentation? Why are these individuals
being allowed to operate like a secret cult with total impunity
within our government?

Constituents of New York please VOICE your OUTRAGE. Today they are
targeting mother's that are considered underprivileged, tomorrow it
may be your kids. Please stand up and make the guilty party
accountable for their crimes. This is CHILD ABUSE of the worst kind.

Please make copies of this document and help pass the word. Their
strength is in their concealment. My niece is being used as a
sacrificial lamb for their sadistic experiments; and she needs your
help. Please make this case public!

Some times doing our part in helping those in need pays off.

For me it did yesterday.

I’ve been helping with The Richard M. Brodsky Foundation and The
World AIDS Marathon.

Last night I got a phone call from Mr. Brodsky (president and
founder of The Richard M. Brodsky Foundation and The World AIDS
Marathon) asking me if I would be willing to take my position as a
board member of the foundation.

Mr. Brodsky made this offer to me solely based on the efforts I have
made to assist with his foundation. I humbly accepted.

I would like to thank Mr. Brodsky for his acknowledgment of my
efforts.

Now as a new member of the board, I would like to announce my first
effort to assist and take my helping them to the next level.

As many of us know AIDS hits everyone’s life. Even if you are not
HIV positive, the odd are you know someone who is, or lost someone
to AIDS.

I would like to ask every to help with the efforts to fight AIDS by
making a donation (all donations are tax decutable).

Everyone who makes a donation of $35.00 or more will also receive a
personally autographed copy of Richards book, “JODI, THE GREATEST
LOVE STORY EVER TOLD”
(a 21.95 value, based on suggested retail value)

To make a donation simply e-mail me at Contact@YourDesign2.com Place
in the subject line “Donation for AIDS”

Be sure to include your name, address and the amount you would like
to donate. Also include if you would like to make your donation via.
Credit Card or Check.

If your donation is $35.00 or more, please include whom you would

You will receive an e-mail via. the foundation with payment
information in the method of your choice.

About the book:

“JODI, THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD”


Journey with Richard and Jodi and their three teenage daughters and
learn how they survive and triumph. Truly their amazing love story
is a celebration of life. Fly with them in their engaging, magical,
poetic journey as Richard conjures up friends and relatives, dead \
and alive. Their message is unanimous. Go forth, Richard, and tell
your story and stop AIDS infected people from dying.

Race with Richard and Jodi to the New York City marathon and rejoice
in their achievement as possibly the fastest couple in their age
group. Richard's message is simple: exercise, eat right, don't
smoke, don't do drugs and don't drink. Getting the medicine out to
all AIDS sufferers around the world can substantially reduce the
number of deaths from AIDS until a cure or vaccine is discovered. Government, business and citizens must unite. We must be honest
enough to say we have made mistakes by not making the commitment to place lives over money.

Book reviews will be posted in the comments area below.

A Search for the Truth (part 19)

Saturday was Daniel’s birthday.

In memory of Daniel, Debbi and I would like to use this week’s
update to make an announcement.

Debbi and I will be joining efforts as we launch a Web Memorial
service.

The service will be launching in approximately 4 weeks.

The service will be designed for families and friends to purchase
online Memorial Sites for their loved ones. A portion of each sale
will be donated to a non-profit group (to be named later) in an
effort to help those who are still with us while remembering those
who we have lost. We will also be setting up a donation fund that
will allow a Memorial site to be given away to those who can’t
afford one.

The cost of the sites will be compatible with other services of this
nature. The difference is what you will be getting. As Debbi wants
for Daniel, nothing but the best!

Why are we doing this? Some of you have paid for Memorial sites and
felt that you got what you paid for. We feel that you didn’t! We
want your loved ones to be remembered with something devoted to
them, not with advertisements when people visit their online
Memorial. Your loved ones and ours deserve better then that. We want
a service that has respect for our loved ones. We want our loved
ones to be honored not marketed. Most of all, we don’t want to be
taken advantage of when we set up a memorial for our loved ones.
Why will we be charging for this and not giving it away? Because
there are expenses that go along with it, there is time invested
into it. This is a project that will take us away from other areas
of our lives, including making an income. In order to do this right
and give our loved ones nothing but the best, we have to take it on
as a job, not a spare time project.

I keep mentioning the words “the best” and that is what we will be
setting up. No ads, a way for the families to communicate through
the Memorial site, a directory to be able to find anyone’s Memorial
in just a few moments, a way to get what you want for your loved
ones and help others at the same time.

We will be incorporating another thing into this site as well.

A Search For The Truth!

No we will not be taking A Search for the Truth away from The Weekly
News. But A Search for the Truth has grown into much more then an
article.

We have been getting request from other people who need assistance
in finding the truth about the death of a loved one. These people
will have a place to get their stories told, and at no cost. If
these people purchase a Memorial site, they will be able to have
their story of their search linked right into the Memorial.

Therefore everyone who does purchase a Memorial will be helping to
support a place for people like Debbi to be heard as well as have
their loved ones forever remembered through the world of cyber space.

Why have I agreed to do this in memory of Daniel, even though I
never met him?

That is a bit more of an article update then anything I wrote above.

Last week Debbi was at the grave to visit Daniel for his birthday
and to her surprise, she was not the only one there. Daniel had
other visitors. People that knew him and loved him, people that will
be joining us (or already have) with the article. People whose lives
Daniel has touched.

Our ranking on both blog stream and our site stats has drastically
grew due to the people following along with Daniel’s story.

We are simply reaching so many people at this point that we have to
provide more web space; time and resources then are available with
our current layout.

Daniel and his story has become a part of a lot of people’s lives.
Being the one that was working on this for a few months prior to the
first article, this story and Daniel has become part of my life as
well. This article has brought so many people together from all
parts of the country who would have never have knew each other if it
wasn’t for what happened to Daniel. The other boys are just as much
a part of this as Daniel, but my working directly with Debbi has
made Daniel more of a center of focus.

The site we will be launching will be done so in memory of Daniel,
but will have a page set up for each of the boys. They all deserve
to be remembered with respect, and we will see to it that they are.

If anyone would like information on the Memorial Site service,
please e-mail Debbi at TheTruth@AKpcsales.net. Information will be
sent out as it becomes available and we iron out the last of the
details. We will be offering a discounted rate to anyone that
reserves a Memorial site prior to our opening in 4 weeks. The
Memorial sites will be starting at $100.(10% less for those who
reserve prior to our opening date).

Daniels current Memorial site can be viewed at
