Rina McCoy\CalPatty Press Reporter
For those that are researching the very interesting case of the Lone Meth Ranger the CalPatty Press is the place to learn the history from the early years until today!” What a long strange trip it’s been,” that also included many many casualties of rogue cops that many once stated did not exist. We could name them all off, but if you explore the pages of the CalPatty Press you find many familiar names that were busted for things that the Ranger himself predicted far in advance of any wrongdoing! I ask what would you do if you saw the unusual and out of the ordinary just being true?
Then the CalPatty Press along with other truth blogs tuned in and turned out and then TOLD!
But, especially we told you how fucking crooked the local courts are especially the Gilmer County Circuit Court, now forever to be known as CROOKED COUNTY Circuit Court
Yes ! We told you all about Chief Deputy Bandy and how Gerry Hough from Crooked County acted as Bandys’ defense counsel in Calhoun County Circuit Court instead of a special prosecutor and got the former Deputy Sheriff right out of hot water, but first Hough had to get Bandys’ girlfriend APRIL McCROSKEY OFF! ..And Boy did he! April got off like a big dog!! One hundred dollar fine and then walks after stealing some old people blind just like a Bitcher of a Butcher from Glenville West Virginia!
HOUGH sitting on the left with Bandy sitting (right) and defense counsel standing. This entire court proceeding was a perfect example of a case being fixed in a blatant and outrageous manner and could most likely only occur in Central WV where they make their own rules!
More cops than you can shake your booty at bit the dust all during the reign of the Lone Meth Ranger that once rode the banks of the Crooked River with the Team Rangers and sometimes with an illusive Indian Companion that was just a Kemo Sabe.
Gerald B Hough Crooked as Fuck Prosecutor from Glenville looks down the low cut blouse of Lisa Wexler just before court
We could tell you the whole story since we have permission, but we will let the Calhoun Underground tell you the story, since they had er all figured out back in August of 07!
Johnny pleaded guilty to ONE CHARGE of Larceny and ONE CHARGE only. From what we heard a told, it is a mutual agreement for many of the reasons given below by a friend found right next to the Lone Meth Ranger on our TRUTH BLOG directory.
“He is a drug dealer and worse, you don’t know him, you are playing with fire by just talking to him!” These are the things we once heard about the Lone Meth Ranger –then we listened to his story and info about Ron Gordon Police Chief….unbelievable, but it was true!
A Lot more was true and all that sex! Oh my God the Gila Monster and Lunacy Lucy banging the bejus out of Hot Toddy. Ewww! Yuck! That is not my idea of a f……. Jesus no wonder the Gila Monster went to town so often! Even fucking a green lizard (with a rather long tongue) was probably almost like going to Myrtle Beach compared to fucking Hot Toddy!
FIRE! Did someone say Fire? Yes there were a lot of fires later known as the Strange but True Grantsville Fires ! Many it has been said were creations of the Fire Starting Cult known to be led by The Lone Meth Rangers’ Arch Nemesis HOT TODDY! 
And Now the Soothsaying… provided by our friends at the Calhoun Underground!(Grantsville’s former Police Chief Ron Gordon-above- in jail orange currently in protective custody at CRJ)(Hot Toddy–Cop Groupie–UV-P Brain protection by umbrella on right)
This statement (below)by CU is from August of 2007
“PLEA BARGAINS” are a great big scam. Scare you into pleading guilty to SOMETHING, even if you are not guilty of THAT, so you don’t have to face a jury with ALL original charges. And they will tell you you’ll probably do jail time if you go that way…
BUT, it would seem that they try very hard to get you to take the plea because THEY WANT A CONVICTION. The way things are going lately, if you take it to trial, it may get tossed out. If you take it to trial, ALL the REAL evidence can come out. If you take it to trial, the WHOLE STORY can be told. If you take it to trial, any unprofessional conduct, lies, set-ups, faulty paperwork, etc. CAN come out!
If you take the plea bargain, none of that has to be looked at. Simple. You’re guilty, pay your fine, do your time.
I know someone who has gone thru 5 lawyers. Every time they tell a lawyer they don’t want a plea bargain because they are not guilty of anything, their lawyer quits…
I have WATCHED someone get railroaded into pleading guilty to a DUI when they were NOT guilty of a DUI. But their OWN LAWYER threatened that if they did not take the plea bargain, then they would be charged with 4 other charges (most of them bogus as well) and they WOULD lose. Even the better lawyers around will make you feel as if you can’t fight them. “Do what you want, you’ll still go to jail, and I’ll go home…”
Try this out. Somebody gets pulled over and charged with possession. They “tell” on somebody, actually pulling a name out of a hat so as to protect their REAL source. The false accusations lead to a search warrant. The place searched happens to have a small amount of illegal substance, coincidentally. Now everybody is in trouble. But chances are, the “substance” the people got pulled over with has probably never even been tested. The “substance” gotten thru exercising the bogus warrant obtained without the testing, has also never been tested. Assumption of guilt runs rampant. An assortment of search warrants and arrests could now come, right on down the line like falling dominoes, based on substances that were NEVER tested and lies.
What happens if the FIRST guy in the line goes to court and it is found that their “evidence” is not only not tested, but missing? Or if not missing, then tests negative…
It’s nothing but a scam to relieve folks of their money and freedom. Nobody cares if anyone is actually guilty of anything.

The Secret Seven will be taking a more significant role getting the word out about how fucked up central West Virginia is– because it is being led by some real sleaze ball public officials, and some really fucked up circuit court judges–that many believe could have actual “real” mental problems and are sitting on the bench a fucking up peoples lives –and breaking every rule in the book!

This CalPatty Press article brought to you by 97FM THE BOSS!
And the kind folks at frontier!
You have to have big bucks behind you to take a case to trial, and public defenders are only going to go through the motions since the state does not pay them enough to work your case the way it should be. The odds are stacked against a defendant from the get go.
Public defenders is one reason the jails are full of alleged criminals. Public defenders do not take their jobs seriously and does the least they can to get ready for court. The people they represent are poor and are usually limited intelectually so they will take a plea if the public defender asks. I know people who have been appointed public defenders as well as private pay attorneys who will not do any work themselves. The defendant and family must do all the investigation and obtain information, etc. for the lazy attorneys. Where is the justice system especially in the Crooked Counties?
There are a lot of bad lawyers out there, that is for sure, but what is worse is one that you pay thousands to, and then later, they themselves, play ball with the other side. This is something the SS knows a little something about.
Pot Arrests For Year 2008 Second Highest Total Ever Reported
September 17, 2009 – Washington, DC, USA
Washington, DC: Police arrested 847,864 persons for marijuana violations in 2008, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s annual Uniform Crime report, released Monday. The total marks a three percent decrease in marijuana arrests from 2007, when law enforcement arrested a record 872,721 Americans for cannabis-related violations, but still remains the second highest tally of annual arrests ever reported.
According to the new report, Marijuana arrests now comprise one-half (49.8 percent) of all drug arrests reported in the United States.
Of those charged with marijuana violations, approximately 89 percent, 754,224 Americans were charged with possession only. The remaining 93,640 individuals were charged with “sale/manufacture,” a category that includes all cultivation offenses, even those where the marijuana was being grown for personal or medical use.
Marijuana arrests were highest in the Midwest and southern regions of the United States, and lowest in the west.

I understand very well, from experience, what you meant about paying attorneys big fees and them not doing anything. It cost us $7,500 up front and the attorney probably spent 2 hours, at most doing the job he was hired to do.
Editors note: Funny how the same thing happened to us, fucking thieves and then they don’t want to insult the “powers that be” or hurt their future income by winning your case. We could tell you some horror stories, but instead we are looking for a little pay back, heard it was a bitch! Maybe you ought to be thinking about a little pay back too! Bastards!
Bill Martin from Braxton County is an honest attorney and because he was an honest Prosecutor and didn’t feel like sending people to prison for marijuana offenses the “Powers that be” put their own shoo-in lady prosecutor in that position that had a lot of political pull behind her. NOW look for long prison sentences even on plea bargains and FACEMIRE will go along with the lady prosecutor while he worked against Martin who was honest.
CHRISTOPHER TODD SMITH ISSUES MOTION FOR CHANGE OF VENUE – Claims “Bad Boy” Publicity Has Hurt His Case
(09/18/2009)
By Bob Weaver
Grantsville resident Christopher Todd Smith, through his attorney Tom Whittier, has filed several motions related to a 2007 drug case that had been scheduled for trial in Grantsville.
A pre-trail hearing for the motions has been set in Spencer on Tuesday at 10 a.m., with a new trial to be scheduled at a later date.
Attorney Tom Whitter, in presenting motions for a continuance, has a number of motions from quashing the indictment, to a protective order, to a change of venue.
The motion for a protective order appears related to Smith’s complaint against Grantsville Police Chief Charles Stephens, alleging Stephens over-stepped bounds in contacting Smith’s girlfriend.
In the motion for a change of venue, it indicates “extensive publicity and comment on various Internet blogs,” creating what he says is negative “bad boy” publicity for himself.
The motion refers to the Hur Herald as a blog, which it is not, but nonetheless links the Herald to some regional blogs that Smith says makes accusations against his character and makes false reports.
Smith’s motion says the “underground press” blogs, have variously made claims about criminal behavior which he did not commit, has worked undercover with law enforcement, and published photos and stories about his sex life.
Smith himself once operated a blog that frequently made negative statements about Calhoun and regional residents.
The Herald has done none of these, and has long-maintained a format as an Internet news site.
The Herald stands behind and is responsible for its’ reporting, in Smith’s case essentially from public record.
Smith contends in his motion, that the “negative nature of his reputation has become so pervasive…it is not possible for him to receive a truly fair and impartial trial,” in Calhoun County.
Judge David W. Nibert said this particular case has been on the court docket for five terms of court.
Editors note: Are we all just spinning our wheels in that Calhoun County Circuit Court? What the fuck, those same motions have been filed more than once, and we have heard it all before. Lets just take that lying ass cock sucker out back and…..

SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR RUSH MURDER APPEAL TUESDAY – Never-Ending Case In Sixth Year, Defense Claims Calhoun Trooper Tainted Jurors
(09/18/2009)
By Bob Weaver
The never-ending case against accused Calhoun murderer Ronnie Rush (pictured left) has resulted in a second appeal to the WV Supreme Court of Appeals.
The latest Rush appeal is scheduled before the high court on September 22 at Marshall University, a special on-the-road forum for university students.
Rush is appealing following his convictions on two counts of manslaughter, one count of first degree robbery, one count of burglary, and one count of conspiracy to commit burglary.
Rush is challenging the circuit court’s denial of his motions for a mistrial, seeking a reversal of his convictions or, in the alternative, a remand for a new trial.
The appeal is being presented by defense attorney Rocky Holmes.
The case is now in its’ sixth year because of well-documented bungling by the WV State Police in Calhoun County.
The latest appeal is based on key witness Cpl. Doug Starcher of the Grantsville Detachment having lunch-time conversations of about 15 minutes with four jurors during Rush’s re-trial conducted in Jackson County.
Defense counselors Teresa Monk and Rocky Holmes said such conversation tainted the jury and the trial, but Judge Thomas Evans III disagreed.
While dismissing two of the jurors, Evans maintained the defense failed to show prejudice with the trooper’s conversations.
“Was it a stupid thing for the trooper to do?,” Judge Evans asked, answering, “Unquestionably…”
Monk said if she and defense attorney Holmes had engaged in such conversation with the jurors, the case would have come to a halt.
She said one of the two remaining “tainted jurors” consequently became the jury foreman.
Monk said she and Holmes took to heart Judge Evans’ admonishment “that no one was permitted to speak to or have any contact with any member of the jury.”
State Police charged Rush with the 2003 murders of Ward Groves, 69, and Mary Hicks, 60, of Sand Ridge, both shot at close range while they slept in their Sand Ridge home.
Rush was 16 at the time.
After evidence of State Police bungling, the Supreme Court granted the first appeal, with numerous instances where officers violated Rush’s constitutional rights, exhibiting unprofessional behavior and misrepresentation of facts.

WV Businessman Claims Joe Manchin Was Coming On To His Wife….
….
Reportedly, and caught on tape, one man is speaking out about the governor making improper advances on his wife. And, he claims his personal friend, State Senator Billy Wayne Bailey also pulled him to the side at a public function and warned him about the governor.
….
Wheeling businessman, Dean Miner, claims he is an acquaintance of the governor and that he and his wife have been together at a couple public functions and talked personally with Manchin. Miner’s wife Adrian, a Wheeling area dentist, is a very attractive woman, so who wouldn’t at least look. According to her husband, the governor wants to do more than just take a peek.
Hey Y’all for the story on the guy that got caught fucking a dog, click the CCC link on this comment or on the side bar to go to Crooked County Crooks!
….
The crime of “bearing false witness” is rarely tracked or punished!
It’s time to start to track them down and deliver some punishment!
Editors note: AS IN… the punishment delivered to JD who got his ass kicked Nicholson? The CU had that dudes number:
“Recently the police chief in Grantsville stated that he was “resigning” with no real reason given other than that he can’t drive his cruiser home at night. No one resigns over things like that. However he did state that he would stay 30 more days to “clean up a number of court cases”. Notice he did not say “clear up”. What is the plan for “cleaning up” these unnamed court cases?”
“Rumor has it that police chief J. D. Nicholson has previous ties with a couple of the cops who are on trial for various crimes. Perhaps these are the cases that need “cleaned up”?”
Also at the last SS meeting in ELKINS a number of other names popped up that all agreed could use some of the same sort of justice dealt to old JD, but JD got beat by a rogue element from the power elite that were afraid he may snitch on them, so they made sure he wouldn’t be a talkin or a walkin. You can also see the matter met with NO Investigation. It was open season on kicking dudes ass. This fall is open season on the snitches and the bitches that have been allowed to run amok, and to also include the dirty rotten sons’ of bitches known as “double standard crooks” from what we all a hear.

Marshall University Panel to Ponder Blogging and the 1st Amendment
The discussion will look at when and how the First Amendment applies to people who blog.
HUNTINGTON — The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and Marshall University are hosting a panel discussion on “Blogging and the Potential Limits of the First Amendment.”
The discussion will begin at 2 p.m. Sept. 22 in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center on the campus of Marshall University in Huntington.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Brent Benjamin will moderate the panel. He said the forum will focus on an issue which is both timely and important.
“As more and more Americans engage in online blogging, questions arise as to how and when the First Amendment should apply,” he said. “An outstanding panel has been put together to discuss and explore these issues. I believe this forum promises to be informative.”
Panelists are expected to include Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in Washington, D.C.; Gene Policinski, vice president and executive director of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University; Howard J. Bashman, an appellate attorney in suburban Philadelphia who has a blog; Kevin Qualls, an attorney who is on the faculty at Murray State University in Kentucky; and Marshall University Journalism Dean Corley Dennison.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments in several cases at Marshall at 10 a.m. the same day in the same location.

“Good morning Crooked County!”
Breaking in with a live report to tell you that Christopher Todd Smith just entered the courtroom in Roane County, the judge will hear various motions and will hopefully set a date for the preliminary hearing and/ or trial date.
It has been two years since Hot Toddy was arrested and the matter is just now being brought forward after 5 terms of circuit court.
Will the leader of the infamous Fire Starting Cult be turned loose again to run wild and terrorize the countryside? Or will be it be 2010 before the mention of court comes again.
We could tell you the answer since we already did two years ago….we were right!
Here it is the impending police state unfolds before are eyes. This is a video from Newport, KY acclimating the public to the sight of troops in our streets.

Tuesday’s hearing was continued, related to the death of Smith’s grandmother in Grantsville.

I suspect that once John Richards goes to jail we will see no more Cal Patty Press articles. No meth ranger equals no off the wall publications bringing down the good name of outstanding public officials that have supported and participated in a great county that is little known even in West Virginia. Many longstanding family names have been dirtied with wild accusations that are completely unfounded

Just off the top of my head there are eight Calhoun County public officials that had their wrongdoing unknown, for the most part until the CalPatty Press took a hold of them and let everyone know that truly a bad element had invaded your favorite, (but little known) piece of WV.
I am glad that I waited until after the 4:20 break to comment on that last misplaced and untrue comment. I am surprised Reeny put that one through without saying something, but then it often is difficult to respond to retards if you are not really in the mood.
So, here is my response.
“Hey retarded mother fucker, shut the hell up before you get your ass beat!”
“You lying ass piece of shit, maybe we are no longer going to let dumb asses like you tell the same old bullshit story to the same old bullshit people!”
“ZERO tolerance towards backward thinking, and backward people like you is being observed. We don’t give a fuck what you think, since you are part of the problem and have nothing to do with any solutions!”
Oh, in closing, Fuck you very much!
Have a nice day.
Todd got his hearing laid over because his gmother passed away,then he didnt even attend the funeral,so i was told!! WHY wont they just pick his filthy butt up and put him in jail where he belongs?
Editors note: Hot Toddy would have gotten a continuation no matter what. We are trying to have respect for the fact that his grandmother died and she was most likely the only good thing Todd had going for him. It was not his grandmothers fault all the trouble he caused and caused her– just imagine all she had to go through for Todd. It would be a miracle if he were to finally straighten up now that she isn’t here to get him out of the fire. But, the way things go around here, there will more mysterious fires in Calhoun County. Pills will be available to be mixed with alcohol and the bed hopping will continue. The Gila Monster will be scoring mad sex all during the drunken slobbering stupor that will continue on and on.
Sorry i tried to start a new thread wasn’t smart enough to figure out how to do it. But it was just to keep Todds name on everyone’s mind so you wont let your guard down,hes a dirty rat,his mother is just as bad!!
Old lady let me guess you a a fucking saint? Leave Mary out of it!
I was reading some of the back articles and came across this one and some of the comments that were listed. Someone should take the time and compile a list of all the misdoings of the people who are elected or hired to uphold the law. Then that paper needs published. Their are a few good websites to visit to read and see what cops, judges, and other public officials are doing that is illeagal. It’s just amazing what these people get away with. I know of a bad elected offial I’d like to mention she is a magistarte from Braxton County Beth Prince. Don’t ever plead in her court room unless your physically pleasing to her. This is true an attractive person can please in her Court he or she will end up doing jail time or more. A attractive person will get a slap on the wrist and sent on their way. Or is your a closely related relative you’ll also get a slap on the wrist. I know she has seen quite a few cousins and they all have gotten off. she is just another one of those disgraceful elected offials. I beg anyone who reads this if you ever get sent to her court room take the charges on to Circuit court. Thats Judge Facemires court so be carful to and whatever the charge ask for a Jury Trial. I hope one day all the bad Karma these people put out comes back on them and bit them in the Ass.
