Trial Date Set in LONE METH RANGER CASE… JUNE 22nd!

Rina McCoy

CalPatty Press Reporter

The Crooked County  Crooks in Central WV FIX cases against people that are targeted by the elite; by getting to their defense counsel, and threatening them, with consequences involving their incomes and careers… if they don’t lay down!

“The mans picture had made the paper many times, and then she
had to laugh a little to herself, after remembering an arrest mug shot,
that was in the paper too. In the picture he was smiling”

(The above caption is from a new fiction release based on the true story of the Lone Meth Ranger– John Manis Richards The Lone Meth Ranger pictured above)

Threatening defense counsel is the same tactic used by Judge Facemire (the king of misconduct) in the “Travesty of Justice” case against defense counsel F JOHN OSHOWAY. Oshoway tossed the case upon hearing the threat! (which is on page 240 of court record of the case now before the 4th circuit court of appeals in Richmond Virginia)

It is a serious situation when the “Powers That Be” forcefully, and with ill intent interfere with the defense counsel of a defendant.

Gerald B Hough had Richards first attorney’s office burned down and then tried to hire Hough’s SECOND defense counsel so that he too would be conflicted and not be able to defend Richards.

Only Gerald B Hough got caught in the act when Moffat went to the disciplinary board with the matter.

All the rights awarded to all of us by the United States Constitution fall by the wayside in Gilmer County which is often referred to in modern times as Crooked County!

In the last court appearance regarding this case HOUGH stated for the court officially …that RICHARDS WAS THE OWNER OF THE CalPatty Press which is a lie!

Johnny Richards is not an editor nor does he write articles for the CalPatty Press!

Richards asked his recent attorney Moffat to say something in court to defend him –and to say that the statement made my HOUGH was not true, but Defense Counsel Moffatt pulled and F JOHN OSHOWAY on everyone!

…and didn’t say a fucking worked to defend his client!

That is when Richards knew the FIX was in and his own defense counsel was absolutely worthless!

Further, Richards’ defense counsel was going to play ball with the Crooked County Crooks to protect his own law practice and income versus the defense of his client, just like Oshoway did in the “Travesty Case.”

Maybe the wrong defense counsel had their office burned down. Maybe it should have been Moffatt’s office instead, Hughart seemed like a decent guy.

So Gerald B Hough got to the first attorney HUGHART, by burning down his office (shown in prior CalPatty Press article …scroll down on this page) and then tried to hire his second attorney to disqualify him so that Richards would have no counsel to defend him.(shown in court document above)

The Crooks from Crooked County pulled this same sort of trick during the Travesty of Justice case when Bill Martin was disqualified as defense counsel; because he was elected as prosecutor in Braxton County. Now the powers that be have threatened Martin about the matter of speaking out about that case and to keep his mouth shut, if he knows what is good for his career.

The court ordered the defendant in the TRAVESTY case to  find a lawyer in 24 hours and the Court Clerk LAME SMITH  suggested Oshoway, who unbeknownst to the defendant in that case was a lacky shoe -in for the prosecution!

The Supreme Court officially recognized OSHOWAY as performing badly– and was an ineffective defense counsel stated in a legal opinion.

NOW the big whoop de doo is taking effect on  Monday June 22nd hosted by the Crooked County Crooks!

The Lone Meth Ranger aka John Manis Richards is on trial!

The CalPatty Press uses actual court documents to prove the veracity of our stories and more and more attention is being brought to that dusty little town of Glenville the County seat of Gilmer County– the West Virginia home of misconduct and the funny kind of illegal courtroom antics unsurpassed anywhere in the entire state of WV.

Excerpt from the Travesty case from documents submitted to 4th Circuit Federal Court in Richmond Virginia-below

This case (case number redacted) born  out of Gilmer County and the 14th district Circuit Court is buried in misconduct at the Circuit Court level with allegations of judicial misconduct and judicial prejudice which evidence bears true–And if the appeals court will not recognize that misconduct, and if the State of West Virginia seldom considers complaints at the disciplinary board level, then truly the answer is to build more prisons–For the State of W Va. will need them for all of the innocent victims sentenced by unfair courts, and prejudice Circuit Court Judges.

The home of misconduct the Gilmer County Courthouse

That strongly worded statement from a legal brief now in the files of two federal courts may possibly be the type of statement and a good reason why:

TWO CIRCUIT COURT JUDGES HAD TO RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THE CASE OF JOHN MANIS RICHARDS.

Judge ALSOP and FACEMIRE were not going to risk their careers on this case or the bad press it was sure to stir up.

The court was presented with a petition and motion to recuse Judge Richard A. Facemire; in the request for recusal, documents were presented to Richards attorney that certainly showed that Facemire was at the very least a dishonest judge, therefore attorney Kevin Hughart ask that Facemire be recused.

Attorney Kevin Hughart soon thereafter had his office burned down for his trouble.

Gerald Hough had his good buddy Circuit Court Clerk David Lane (LAME to his friends) Smith lose the evidence that proved Glenville Police Chief John Moss a lying son of a bitch that presents false facts to convict innocent people of accusations that are untrue. Hough had the evidence of false testimony covered up by having the court clerk lose the tapes, and the only other evidence against Moss was Hugharts notes that were destroyed when his office was the victim of arson!

The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has had to assign Justice Starcher the job of presiding over the case.

You can see by the documents above that Starcher is growing impatient since this case is coming up on two years old and it has not gone to trial yet!

Starcher grows impatient because BOTH of Richards attorneys were screwed with by Gerald B Hough prosecutor for Gilmer County but STARCHER  suggests Richards pay the price by having him represent himself (not a good idea) or just assign him counsel with no time given to prepare the case.

The delay’s have all been brought by the prosecution, not the defense, yet the punishment is being meted out to the defendant in the manner of…. he might not get adequate representation and has had himself to file in the WV Supreme Court just for protection!

Richards had to take it upon himself to petition the Supreme Court in order to get the time allotted to prove himself innocent.

Writ Conference

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

48.  SER John Manis Richards v. Larry Starcher, Judge, No. 090873 (Filed 6/12/09)
Petitioner seeks to compel the lower court to recuse current counsel, to appoint new counsel, and to grant a continuance of Petitioner’s trial so that new counsel can prepare.

Because in Gilmer County you are GUILTY until you can prove yourself innocent!

John Richards needs a good attorney and 60 days to prepare for trial.

Starcher wants to get underway with no defense planned!
