Chapter 282
The King Of Lies
Part 1
I had slept most of the way to the
courthouse, after a very long night of sex training. I hated this building with
a passion being as it was the same building I had been in when I lost
everything due to my parents lies. Now here I was back again and once again my
father was going to tell more lies to get what he wants, which was money and me
placed somewhere that my mother couldn’t find me. He didn’t care about my well
being or my happiness.
All he cared about was making sure that his needs were met regardless if he had
to manufacture proof and tell lies to get it. They say the truth would set you
free; however, they had never met my father. Rhoda, Jackie, and Eli came along
because this affected them as well as Greg, Bishop Earl. Since he lived in
Santaquin and knew my father very well since he was his Bishop. There was still
no sign of Jeff and once again Stringum and Dad asked if I had seen him or
heard from him watching me shake my head no.
We all went inside finding our lawyers or should I say Stringum’s lawyers that
had gathered all the proof and my caseworker who had left early to return to
her employer and grab some last minute paperwork that we might need today. The
moment my father and my two sisters Susan and Becky saw me Susan and my father
sneered angrily at me and then calmed himself when his lawyer whispered
something in his ear watching him go for his belt. He hated the very sight of
me, and I could say without a doubt that feeling was mutual. However Becky
seemed reserved, but the moment Susan and my father whispered something her ear
she sat down looking elsewhere.
My mother and Jennie soon arrived, and again my father sneered at them, sitting
across the hallway until we were told we could all go in. We let my father and
my two sisters go in first, so we wouldn’t have to worry brushing past him. Or
give him and Susan an excuse to take a swing at me or my mother. My father said
the moment we set down to us. “Say goodbye to each other now, because when they
lock you up and throw away the key, you will never see each other again unless
it’s from behind bars as, for you, you fat disgusting b***h your time is done.
“You will never see your daughters ever again, and you can take those divorce
papers and shove them up your fat a*s. I have all the proof I need to make sure
all of you are put away for the rest of your life. I have been waiting for this
day for a very long time, and I plan to expose all of you…the moment…” He said
to his lawyer cutting him off as he pulled him aside. “What? I am just telling
them don’t have a leg to stand on.” His lawyer told him to take a seat, the
moment some kid and four of his friends came into the room with his parents. I
didn’t know the kids personally other then they had picked a fight with me at
school when I was visiting my mother.
My grandmother soon arrived trying to decide which side of the courtroom she
wanted to sit on then took our side sitting towards the back my grandmother’s
face was unreadable. It wasn’t long before Paul came into the room wearing the
same clothes he was arrested in and was told sit two rows back behind my father
with his own lawyer and two police officers on either side of him. He was told
not say a word or they would escort him out of the room and he could return to
the county jail.
Everyone was here, and the game would begin as I felt my life slipping away
once more. My father, however, seemed a little rattled watching a few more boys
walk through the door with their parents. My mother smiled as she noticed the
boys. Which said that our side had something my father didn't it, which was
nothing. The doors closed as we were told to stand as the Judge came into the
room and the court reporter with the bailiff.
He seemed tired and bored as he took his seat behind the bench said. “Well,
then it seems everyone is here. Being as it is Mr. Shepherd who is pressing
charges he can go first, but I will remind him that if find that this waste of
my time. I will throw his case out or the fact that he can not provide proof of
the charges. So tell me, Mr. Shepherd, do you or don’t you have any evidence
that says that Nate Carrion or Mr. Carrion or Mr. Earl or responsible for these
crimes you are accusing them of?”
My father smiled as he stood, said. “Yes I have all the proof you will need.
Starting with the fact these people you have just mentioned do not exist. They
are liars, hypocrites, rapists, thieves, and killers. I have everything that
proves that these people should be behind bars for the rest of their lives. I
have proof that this fat cow…known as their mother should be placed into a
mental facility for the rest of her life and is an unfit mother and a w***e. I
have evidence not only in testimony but real evidence that will prove
everything they might say is a lie.” He stood there gloating as he is lawyer
told him to take a seat, whispering in his ear as he eyed the boys in the room
and Paul.
Overhearing my father telling him; “well do your damn jobs I am paying you for,
and make sure we win?”
His lawyer said. “Mr. Shepherd my I remind you that I am a court a pointed
attorney to defend you, meaning you do not have the money to pay me or pay for
your own lawyer?”
My father said. “For the moment, I told you when we win this case my
circumstance will change. And then we can talk about your fee.”
The Judge said after my lawyer stood and said. “Yes sir, we are more then ready
to defend ourselves against Mr. Shepherd, but I must tell you we cannot discuss
certain things since it is classified and could risk our client’s lives, if
certain things like why their real names are not spoken out loud here today; if
we may approach the bench?”
My father sneered; “lies, just like I said.”
The Judge said to my father. “Mr. Shepherd, I let you speak and no one
interrupted you. Now shut the hell up. If they are lying I will determine that
not you;” then turned back to our lawyer. “You may approach the bench.” Both
lawyers approached the bench as my father too was about to join them but he was
told to remain where he was, watching my lawyer hand a large file that said top
secret across it and a couple of videotapes. The Judge said. “Give me a few
minutes to review this evidence we will be back in one hour.”
My father's lawyer made his way back to the boys in question to find out the
reason why they were here having my lawyer sidestep him telling them not to say
anything. My father sneered. “You are only providing me more evidence for my
case against you. Once I am done with you I will be coming after each and every
one of you, for even thinking of showing your faces here after what you boys
did to my two daughters against their will.”
Some of the boys laughed and one of them said. “Forced? Yea right, believe it
or not, old man your two daughters were not forced to have sex with us. In
fact, the truth is old man you’re your oldest daughter was the one that forced
us to have sex with her. If we didn’t she would ruin our reputations and our
families if we didn’t. And as for your younger daughter, she wasn’t forced either,
in fact, it was consensual.”
Becky smiled at the boys and licked her lips as she sized them up. Susan jumped
to her feet and lunged at them only to be stopped by the boy’s parents; having
the bailiff drags her back to her seat.
It wasn’t even an hour before the Judge came back into the room, his face was
paler then it was when he left the room. Once again we were told to stand as he
made his way back to the bench placing the file and two videotapes in front
him. We regained our seats as he said to everyone in this room. “Let the court
show that following names be read into record; Nate Carrion and his wife Rhoda
and his husband Eli Carrion as well as his wife Jackie Carrion. Let it also
show that Nate parents are Mr. Robert Carrion and Mrs. Karen Carrion.
“Any other name will be stricken from the record and will remain classified as
well as anything that might be brought forward that may expose their true
identities and purpose in regards to why their names are stricken from the
records. Mr. Shepherd, you have a long road ahead of you after what I have read
and watched during our short recess. I
will ask you again, are you prepared to provide me real evidence of the charges
you are accusing them of?”
His Lawyer whispered in my father’s ear watching him shake his head no pound on
the table, said. “No I will not walkway empty-handed, nor will I allow them to
get away with this.”
His Lawyer said standing; “it appears that my client would like to move
forward, he and I would like to view the evidence to why you have stricken
their real names from the record and any testimony that could hurt his case
against him.”
The Judge said. “No you may not Mr. Shepherd, but I will allow your lawyer to
view the evidence, providing you Mr. Shepherd can prove to me why it is so
important to your cases today?”
My father said. “Because of your honor, my mother his grandmother has requested
that, that he and his f*****g brother be removed from their care based on that
evidence. I would have to agree considering what I know of the Rothwell’s and
their friends with them today. Hiding in luxury, so they can do what they want
when they want. Like raping my two daughters, and beating us to the inch of our
lives, whenever they want to and get away with it.
“I am not a strong man, nor can I defend myself against their attacks upon me
and my two innocent daughters, who were repeatedly raped by them and their
friends, then beaten to the inch of their lives if they refused to have sex
with them. I have proof showing the lengths they will go; if you will permit me
and my lawyer to review the evidence that you have been already been provided,
so we will know which of the lies to confront first.”
The Judge hesitated and looked at the clock, it was nearly lunch time and we
had yet to get started. He said. “On one condition Mr. Shepherd, you and your
lawyer sign a confidentially form that states you can not ask questions, you
can not talk about this outside this courtroom. If you do and I find out that
you did, I will throw your a*s in jail, for a very long time. However, you can
only refer to what you have seen that might push your case forward. But for the
moment I would like you to present your case that states you can prove that
your son and his adoptive parents or parent, as well as their friends, are
responsible for the things you are accusing of them of doing you and your two
daughters since nothing in the videos or the classified file even talk about
it.
“Therefore we will hear this matter first then we will be adjured for lunch and
you and your Lawyer can view the tapes, but I will allow only parts of the file
that shows that various parts of the government have demanded that since this
is an ongoing case, that certain parties and the information it is under the
classified act.” He quickly went through
the file finding the sheet where it had been signed by our task-force and
government officers. Handing it to the bailiff to copy it and present it to my
father and his lawyer.
He continued on. “As I was saying if you can persuade me that your life and
your daughter’s lives are in danger without viewing the evidence that states
their names and what you and Mrs. Doris Shepherd are prudent to your case
against them. We will consider it, but if you can not, I will dismiss both your
cases. For what I have seen, could very give me nightmares for the rest of my
life and my God helps you Mr. Shepherd and your mother. For I feel that if they
weren’t doing what others won’t. We are in a world of hurt. I plan to meet with
them afterward to discuss how I may be of help.”
My grandmother’s face was in shock and so was my father when he said that.
Stringum smiled and so did our lawyers and my caseworker. My father looked at
the piece of paper the bailiff hand them, said. “This proves nothing, and I
doubt those tapes will either, I smell a conspiracy against me and stinks of a
Judge paid off to keep his mouth shut.”
The Judge ignored him and said. “On that note, we will move on I have been over
the following evidence. In regards to the car and how it was used in the scene
of the crime. I have asked all those that had a key to the car, and to provide
proof of ownership as well as proof of each of their whereabouts and will now
hear testimony from both sides since it has nothing to do with the evidence I
have already seen.
“I will also hear testimony on these rape charges you claim had taken place a
number of times as well as pertaining of the night said of the crime was
committed. Are you able to provide evidence of these crimes Mr. Shepherd and
are you Mr. Carrion and Nate Carrion able to provide evidence that states you
had not committed these crimes against Mr. Shepherd and his two daughters?”
All said yes, and they gave each side a snarl. The Judge stated that since the
case was against us, that my father and his lawyer could go first asking if we
had a problem with that. We shook our heads no watching each of the lawyers
reach inside their briefcases, pulling out pictures, and more video. Noticing
that my father’s lawyer noticed we had more video and they only had pictures.
My father’s lawyer quickly explained that night, said. That I had gone to my
mother's house and broken in the door and waited for my sisters to come home
from school and while I was waiting I robbed them of the following items and
including large amounts of cash my father had tucked away for a rainy day. That
I was seen loading up their family car by several of the neighbors. Producing
pictures of me or someone made to look like me.
When asked how I arrived to the home. My father said that my adoptive Dad and
Mr. Earl had dropped me off at the house and waited outside the church house
until almost dark to beat him. Again the lawyer produced pictures and police
reports as well as hospital bill of injuries that he and his two daughters had
gotten from us. Too us it was laughable
at best, as we presented our evidence, even more so when my father provided
proof that we were breaking the law when we were told that I wasn’t allowed to
see my mother or to be within 15 miles or more from him and my sisters as well
as my mother’s house.
The Judge stated that so for my father had provided enough proof to get his
attention. Stringum stippled his fingers and leaned in telling our lawyer to
hit my father with everything we got, but do it slowly so there would be
nothing left of his case. He said gladly motioning over the TV and VCR as the
bailiff plugged it in.
My father smile faded quickly as my Lawyer said. “According to Mr. Shepherd his
son, Nate Carrion was running wild, destroying property, raping his two
sisters, stealing undisclosed amounts of cash and personal items that did not
belong to him. Not only that he beat each of them to the inch of their life
including his own father after being told by the courts that Nate wasn’t
allowed to come within 15 to 20 miles of either of them or his mother's house.
What I am about to show is that following people he has just listed weren’t
responsible nor anywhere near them.
“These videos were taken into evidence and have been verified that what you see
is it hasn’t been tampered with and has been time stamped. But before I show
them, I have here an affidavit from her doctors and the nurses. That during the
time, his mother was in the Provo
hospital recovering for the injuries that her husband Jim inflicted upon her.
That they had turned away her son Nate and told him that his father has made it
clear that she had no visitors. However, his wife hasn’t pressed charges in
regards to those injuries.”
My father yelled. “Of course not, when I didn’t touch the fat cow; and those
injuries happened when she fell down a flight of stairs when the rope broke
around her neck trying to kill herself. I should know I found her at the bottom
of the stairs when I came into the house to find out what in the hell she had
done now.” The Judge told him to be quiet and shut his mouth that it was our
turn to speak and provide evidence.
Then turned to ask my mother if this was true; she shook her head no that my
father tried to strangle her with his belt. Our lawyer quickly found the photo
they had taken of her so-called injuries and handing a copy of it to my
father’s lawyer. The Judge said; “according to the photo and the doctor’s
report. There were no rope markings but a man’s belt. Plus the fingerprint bruises
don’t match your wife’s and if I was to guess that you would tell me those
markings are not from your hands?”
My father sneered. “That’s right; I never touched her. She must have done those
on her way to the hospital as they were drugging her so she couldn’t hurt
herself further.”
The Judge said. “I see, then you wouldn’t mind me having your hands and fingers
measured, so we can rule you out?”
My father said. “Over my dead body; I am not the one on trial here they are,
and if I understand my lawyer that unless she had pressed charges you can’t
make me, and it had to happen at the time of when those injuries took place.”
Man, I hated the law, more so seeing that my father had gained a little
knowledge.
However, Stringum leaned over telling me that my father was now running scared.
Plus the fact she didn’t do it and her injuries were now healed it would be
hard to get a true convection, but it did open things up for my father in
regards to his case against her as an unfit mother and we all knew it.
