Chapter 282-3
The King Of Lies
Part 4
Once again we all stood as the
Judge came back into the room and took his seat on the bench. He gave us all
smile and sighed heavily, telling the Bailiff to lock the room that this was a
sealed hearing and if he wouldn’t mind finding someone to sit with my two
sisters. My father said “No, this concerns them, and everyone here. Plus the
fact I don’t trust you not to take the girls from me, in hopes to delay these
proceedings. I have no wish to go into whatever it is or was in the evidence
that is top secret. Since I do not care about what these people do… that
requires them to be so secretive or the fact it could cost them their lives. As
far as I am concerned they could get themselves all killed as long they leave
me and my daughters out of it. So the answer is no and we can just refer to it
without actually talking about it.”
The Judge said. “As you wish, but as long as you know this will be the final
custody hearing. If you lose Mr. Shepherd there will not be a second one. You
have proven that you are a man that is not highly thought of or a father figure
in my eyes. To me, you are nothing but angry little man that feels he is above
the law and thinks he can get away with it by a slap on the wrists. That ends
today, no matter the outcome if you come before this court ever again. We will
throw the book at you, the laws are changing every day and what you have done
in the past you will not get away with in the future.
“I have regretted the decision I had made all those years ago, when I took Nate
from the only home that wanted him and placed him back into the system, because
of the lies you and your wife told me because I refused to believe parents such
as your selves would kidnap your own son, beat him to the inch of his life, to
prevent him from being placed in a loving home. I have watched from afar as
this boy has grown up and it makes me sick to my stomach that I made a bad
judgment call.
“I tend to keep an open mind here today, but make no mistake Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd
this will be your last chance to prove to me without a shadow of a doubt that I
should remove him from another home based on lies and half-truths. As for your
two daughters and your son Aaron, their fate will also be decided to where they
will be placed. So far, Mr. Shepherd, your case seems flimsy at best, as I have
said earlier, what you tried to do was appalling. However I have no proof that
you and Mr. Cranny cooked up that scheme for money, and to ruin the lives that
you feel have wronged you and him.
“The only reason you are not in jail with him is because you took no part in
the crime, and he did of his own free will. I have no proof like I said that
states you were responsible, but my gut tells me you were. It was his actions
that put him behind bars. It will be your actions today and in the future, that
will determine if you take the cell next too him.
“So let’s be clear that today is your last only chance to prove why you think
you your wife should be put into intuition for the rest of her life, or me
ruling her as an unfit mother. Which I should have done all those years ago,
but something made her change, or she would be sitting with you arguing that I
should take her boys, and place them in a home for boys.
“Instead she has filed for divorce and full custody of her two daughters and
wants to send your a*s packing, and right now I feel she has a very strong
case, since you beat her so bad that she needs to be placed into a hospital and
placed at Charter Canyon for treatment of spouse abuse and depression. Since
you went first last time. I am going to hear evidence from your accusers. To
why she and they think she should have total custody and go on from there.”
My father stood, said. “No, I rather go first, because I feel already you are
siding with them, without seeing my evidence first.”
The Judge asked if that was fine with us. Mom and my mother shook their heads
no, but Dad said. “We have no objections, but we would like to hear from Doris
Shepherd first since its only fair considering she has a say now that she has
been granted custody of our son Nate and his brother Aaron who isn’t here,
since we were told that his father didn’t care about his welfare, but his
grandmother and we do.”
Mom whispered. “What the hell are up to dear, by giving her a foot in the
door?”
Dad said. “Giving her wants she wants, which is to be heard.”
The Judge said. “Fine, I have been wanting to hear why she feels that you Mr.
Carrion and Mrs. Carrion are not good parents. Other than the fact that last time
you were in family court had your privileges of being foster parents taken
away, after what had happened inside your home and she stated that your
adoption son Nate couldn’t be in better hands, and now she is asking me to
remove him from your care.”
My grandmother said. “Quite right, Nate is being tricked and being sexually and
physically abused by them, if I may have my lawyer to present my cases.
Considering I am an old woman and don’t know the law, or can speak so eloquent,
plus the fact I am very rattled to what I have heard today so far. I also feel
that my granddaughters should be escorted out of the room because I can not
allow them to hear what their bother has got himself into with his adoptive
parents and this man Mr. David Stringum.
“My son Jim may not care to hear that evidence, to why they must use fake
names, even inside a locked courtroom. I do not share his opinion and feel that
he should hear and see for himself what his son and the Carrions or evolved in.
I will not be silent any longer. I feel strongly that once you have heard from
me and whatever my son may have will only help his and my case, but I would
prefer that my granddaughters not be present. For it would give them nightmares
as it has for me the moment I have learned of it.”
She took a seat as she began to shake with anger and uncontrollably because of
how rattled she was. My father refused, once again, but my mother and my
adoptive parents felt that they should be removed from the room. Until after
she has spoken and after she has presented her evidence. Stringum said
whispering. “Here we go, that battle ax is going to ruin everything we have
worked hard for.”
Dad said. “Oh, well, it’s a risk we will have to take.” Watching my two sisters
being escorted into the Judge's chambers allowing my father to inspect the room
that there was only one way in and one way out as someone went inside the room
to sit with them to prevent them from eavesdropping, having the bailiff stand
by the door. The Judged asked my father if he was satisfied now that no one
could take his girls without his knowledge.
He said. “No, but it’s not a battle I am willing to fight.”
The Judge said. “Then you won’t mind me asking you to relinquish your seat so
your mother and her lawyer may present her case.” My father growled angrily as
he picked up his things and took a seat behind her on the other side so he
wouldn’t have to sit near her.
After few minutes allowing her lawyer to get settled watching Jeff take his
seat next to my father as he stretched out his long legs watching my father rub
his hands and blowing into them asking the bailiff to turn up the heat; getting
nothing other than a shake of his head. Yet when my grandmother asked he was
more than willing, getting icy stares from my father.
Her lawyer said pulling out several videos. “First of Doris Shepherd would like
you all to view these tapes. I have seen them and what I saw applauded me that
you Mr. and Mrs. Rothwell would allow this to happen to her grandson. I have
also would like to begin at the beginning when her grandson first came to live
with the Rothwell’s. These pictures were taken within the first month of her
grandson Eric was placed with the Rothwell’s, and I gather that this wasn’t the
first time this happened.” He quickly handed the bailiff two copies of
photographs as he gave one to our lawyer and one to the Judge.
Mom and Dads face paled seeing the photographs that showed the whip marks he
had done to me. We had thought that these photographs had been destroyed, but
apparently not all them. My grandmother said. “The photographs you are seeing
are of injuries of a cattail whip. The Rothwell’s state and his foster bother
at the time Shane said. These marks were made from them pulling Eric behind
Shane’s bike while riding a skateboard Eric was threatened that if he said
anything other then that; that they would punish him for it. Even in his file
according to his caseworker at the time; said that it was, and as well as the
Rothwell’s and each member of their family said it was skateboard accident.
“Yet when his grandmother questioned him he told her what really happened. As
you know he was refused any visitors, including his own family and the
Downings, you made that ruling as Judge at the time. That no one was allowed to
see him including his grandmother and there would be no visitations rights for
him or anyone he knows. If wasn’t for a close friend of his by the name of Mr. Nile's and old Bishop of theirs winning the boys trusts. His grandmother would
never have been contacted or would have learned about this incident.
“I bring this up now, even though things have changed over the years in his
care… because once again Mr. and Mrs. Rothwell continues to leave her in the
dark. I bet if you asked them even now after all these years they would still
say it was skateboard accident. The caseworker handling the case at the time
issued a warning and they were fined 6 months of no welfare checks in the boy’s
name. And his grandmother isn’t pressing charges, against them for this incident,
and it has past the time the courts can do anything and it never happened
again. She just wants you to know what has taken place since her grandson has
entered their home so you can do something now before it’s too late.
“Over the years they have had become good friends with her and had allowed her
to visitation rights.
“The next time something happened was after this past summer that we know of.
They had just returned from a summer vacation visiting some old friends in a
nudist colony, after dealing with their last foster kid who was found guilty of
raping their daughter Jody to the point she can never have children and he and
their son Shawn was responsible for it and had been accused and convicted of
raping their two younger boys Jason and Jared as well as several boys in the
neighborhood along with their old bishop Mr. Crawford, but during this vacation
they learned that their youngest boy Jonathon was also rapped and the boys had
been keeping it a secret because their parents refused to listen and brought it
to her grandson Eric’s attention.
“She and his mother, as well as her husband, knew that Mr. and Mrs. Rothwell
were practicing’s nudism. Even though his father didn’t like the idea and found
it immoral and other things and still do. But she and her mother allowed it and
signed a form stating that they were willing to accept the fact they were
razing Eric in the Rothwell’s nudist lifestyle, and his mother as well from
time to time participates and so does his brother Aaron.
“However that isn’t the issue she is having a problem with, she’s grandmother
understands that nudism is nothing more than people sharing themselves and
their lives with each other, and has been among many of their gatherings held
in Santaquin and in the Rothwell home, even though she herself doesn’t
participate. She learned to accept the fact both her grandsons are deep in that
culture.
“That being said, this next tape you will find shocking, and one of the many
reasons why we wanted to her daughters to leave the room. On this tape, you
will see a woman named Mrs. Gloria West, who they have contacted over the years
to perform tests to see if their children could handle the stress of taking on
more adult responsibilities, but to their surprise, the tests she gave wasn’t of
their design. And Doris Shepherd was told they had been locked in a room as
prisoners to watch Mrs. West give her own tests, and finding out soon after
that she was doing Mr. Crawford’s bidding. Performing the tests you are about
to see.”
I looked over at Jeff as he made himself comfortable, asking him when he was
going to help us. He simply said. “I have already done it, and warned you that
this would happen; besides she’s making a very good point that could save your
life if this ever happens again.” Mom and Dad to were concerned as my
grandmother looked frazzled but calm.
Stringum growled. “So that’s why she wanted copies to frame us, I’ll give her
credit she has been planning this for a very long time.”
The tape played as I cringed remembered how I felt and the pain I felt. I
couldn’t sit still watching that fake penis and that smile on her face as she
physically rapped me, and tortured me for hours. The tape ended and once again
the lawyer placed one tape after another as he went through my life and picked
at it like a raw dried scab.
My father smiled like he had the best seat in the house, and looked at us with
such glee, knowing that each one of these tapes meant bad things that could
happen to my adoptive parents; giggled with delight seeing me being tortured
and in so much pain. However, his smile faded when he saw the last two tapes,
seeing what happened to the grandfather when the High Bishop slit his throat
and everyone in the circle started to eat his organs from his lifeless body.
She even showed the tape of our first wedding proving once more what these
people were capable of doing and why I was married to Eli and his wife Jackie
and sister Rhoda. By that time he was throwing up into a waste bucket. But the
last film was the one that caught his attention.
Watching Mr. Tate and Antonio die, by the hands of our spiritual friends as
their bodies turned to ash and scattered into the wind. His fear and the Judges
heightened when he saw those demons feasting on their victims and the pile of bones
we had found.
My grandmother’s lawyer turned it off after that and said. “This is what Doris
Shepherd is afraid of might happen to her two grandsons that are in the
Rothwell’s care. She has asked them nicely and has begged them to stop this
insanity before they all get themselves killed. She like everyone else saw the
papers and the news over the weekend; in regards to all those grisly killings
statewide and across the country.
“She is now asking the courts to remove every child including her two grandsons
from the Rothwell’s care and has asked the courts for her help in stopping
their friends to risk their own lives and their children’s lives that have
helped the Rothwell’s to this doomed caused of theirs. She would like you to
reconsider the contract of adoption and nullify his marriage to Rhoda and Eli.
So he may have a chance to start fresh somewhere else without them.
“She is asking you to consider his mother unfit mother and put her in an
institution for the rest of her natural life. So Jim can be free to find a new
wife for his two daughters since he does not want the boys and has made it
clear where he stands on that issue. She is pleading with you that you stop
this today. To prevent them from leaving the country to avoid and is believed by
her that they are doing so; so that the law can not find them for what they
have done. That it is not a school field trip. It is nothing more but a lie, so
they can keep her grandchildren from seeing her so she believes.
“I implore the courts in her behave, but personally I would like to shake their
hand for what they are doing. So other parents and their children will never
have to go through the very things I have witnessed here today. She may be
their maternal grandmother, but without their help, more parents and their
children could have died during the satanic church’s holiday as they pledge
their own children and their souls to a Demon God.
“It scares me to think that; if it wasn’t for the Rothwell’s and their task
force to take down this church. It would be hell on earth and not even she
being their grandmother would live long enough in a world of monsters, rapists,
and murders as her neighbors. In fact the moment we leave here today. I am
going to go home and kiss my wife, and hold my children in my arms and pray to
God that people like the Rothwell’s protect my family from these monsters,
rapists, and murders. And then I am going to write my congressman and I am
going to ask him how I can help.
“I am not as rich as Mr. Stringum, but I know people that are, and I plan to go
to them and make sure they have whatever they need to keep this task-force going
until every last one of them is driven back to hell. I am then going to see if
me and my wife can become hosts or adoptive parents for all these children that
have no parents to take care of them. Yes, I implore you to consider her
requests, but I also want her to consider that she is also lucky to have a
grandson like Eric that is willing to go the distance. Regardless of what he
has been through.
“Not many boys his age would even consider the things he and his friends and
his Rothwell family are doing. To keep boys like him from being tortured and
rapped. In my eyes, he is more than a man then is own maternal father. That has
not once shown him any kindness, or love or respect he so much deserves. He
deserves a father like Mr. Rothwell, where he protects every boy in his care,
regardless of their background. He may have not been the best father like he
had with Downings when Eric first arrived in his home, but Mr. Rothwell loves
him and he loves him just as much.
“No your honor, I vote that Eric stays with the Rothwell’s and let him make the
choice as an adult. I rest my case.” He took his seat and smiled as my
grandmother's mouth dropped and her anger boiled over not believing what the
hell just happened. Everyone else too was surprised by the fact my
grandmother's lawyer not only represented my grandmother but himself as well.
Jeff, however, wasn’t surprised as smiled like he had the best cream.
