A Perfect, (and Indeed Scurrilous), Storm - Part VII, VIII & IX
Part IX - Cry Baby Matthews
February 5, 2009
Well, it appears that whiney Judge Mathews and his family and a couple of the lawyers and their families feel threatened by my website and by the stories I am writing and by blogs on this post. Blogs are the comments ya’ll make and which I frequently respond to.
I was in the shower today, when I heard all hell breaking loose, with someone trying to pound down my door. I was frightened, thinking Judge Matthews had issued a bench warrant for my arrest which I was not aware of, and so I stayed put until I could not hear anymore.
When I got out of the shower, I went to get my phone to call the bondsman I had made arrangements with yesterday, to alert him. I discovered a friend of mine in law enforcement had called. He was at home, sick, but was trying to get in touch with me for FBI Special Agent Bob Meadows.
It turns out that it was Bob Meadows and another law enforcement individual at my door banging.
My friend told me to call them which I did, and they asked me to come down the “Station”, which I did.
Apparently, as I said in my first paragraph, Judge Matthews and the “attorneys” have taken exception to what I have been writing, and were intimidated and afraid for their lives.
Whaa-whaa.
I know that SA Meadows had to call me in, because a judge was raising an issue, and the FBI have to check stuff out just in case. But I was furious, and so I began asking Agent Meadows if he knew how afraid I had been in this last year. Take a good look Judge Walter Mathews and Jack Harris, and see if you think I have any reason to have been afraid and intimidated over this last year. See if any of these things, Walter Matthews, which are documented in the Motion for Protective Order which you so glibly denied last September would scare you or your families. I don’t remember any FBI Agent running to knock on anyone’s door about the vicious threats and direct intimidation of me. Let’s take a look, Cheryl Matthews and other wives and family members, to see if your husbands have had a hand in encouraging and approving of SERIOUS threats and intimidation of me:
1. Georgia Florida Game, 2007
Let’s start with the weekend of the 2007 Georgia-Florida game, immediately prior to the series launch on the Chattooga County Dixie Mafia, when my son, whom you taught Cheryl, came home to watch the game and to attend an event held at the Canyon Ridge Golf Course, where a couple of readers of RomeNewsByWatson.com wanted to introduce me to Governor Sonny Perdue. Perdue had become aware of my website because of Newt Gingrich.
That Saturday morning, as we left home to go run to Kroger, we noticed a newspaper placed at the basement door where we exit to go to the cars. It was a copy of the Summerville News, a local Chattooga County newspaper in Bobby Lee Cook’s hometown. When I tried to lock my door, there was something jammed inside.
I called RPD Assistant Chief Lonzo Roberson, who dispatched a Detective, who determined that a lock pick had been jammed inside the lock. According to the Detective, it did not appear that someone was trying to actually break in, but that the lock pick had been intentionally broken off.
I got the message.
2. GUNSHOTS
On November 7, at Nov 7, 12:42 PM, a poster, (steadfast | noseyman84@yahoo.com | IP: 75.89.126.52) , wrote a very lengthy and involved, and very vicious e-mail to me to which I responded late that evening.
In this post, he used phrases favored by Bobby Lee Cook:
a) “There is evidence I offer you here in a court order by Judge Connelly finding your bed mate to be a fraud and a perjurer.b) “-a dog chasing his tail and now a bitch to run in his pack!!”
Again on Friday, November 9, 2008, “Steadfast posted, this time from a different I.P. Address, ( steadfast | noseyman84@yahoo.com | IP: 75.89.194.85), and once again, shortly after noon, at 12:49 PM.
Once again, as is Bobby Lee Cook’s style when he is challenged by a woman, he wrote insinuating sexual impropriety:
3) “You attended the Mullis republican affair with one disgruntled summerville lawyer William “Ben” Ballenger”.
NOTE: As I have already said, I attended the affair with my son, at the invitation of a friend of Governor Perdue’s, because Newt Gingrich and Governor Perdue were becoming aware of the website, Gingrich was actually advertising on the site, and putting a link to it from his American Solutions website, after Featuring one of my op-eds on his site. (“The Second American Revolution”).
But with Steadfast’s second post, this time, I was at home and on the website when the post came over, and I responded almost immediately, this time letting “Steadfast” know who I thought he was. A few minutes after my response, my Un-listed home, land line phone rang, and the answering machine picked up before I could catch it.
Two semi-automatic gun shots rang across the phone line.
I called 911, and an RPD Officer was dispatched, who was incredulous, and kept playing the recording over and over, calling various people to have them listen. His report was turned over to RPD Detective Pete Sailors, who pulled phone logs from my phone carrier, and traced the calls, which lead to a phone by an old woman who lives in the High Rise Government Subsidized apartments on North Fifth Avenue. Sailors interviewed the woman, and she admitted that she allowed various neighbors to use her phone.
Several weeks later, a reader contacted me and told me that they had seen a former law enforcement Officer Kilgo, sitting at lunch with Bobby Lee Cook, and Ron Patton at the Partridge Restaurant on Broad Street, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. They were having a heated argument, and Ron Patton stormed out.
As it turns out, this same Kilgo left the Floyd County Department years ago, after a scandal was uncovered revealing that Kilgo was involved with a federally convicted pipe bomb maker. In fact, Kilgo himself was seriously injured when a pipe bomb went off. This very same Kilgo was, last year, listed as one of the North Fifth Avenue High Rise tenants. Detective Pete Sailors followed it as far as possible, but assumed the gun shots were fired from a remote cell phone held to the old lady’s home phone at the high rise.
This was just the beginning of the intimidation of me and my website, by Bobby Lee Cook and his associates, whom your husband, Cheryl, is protecting and covering for, in a case where the Plaintiff was not really a Plaintiff.
When I came out with a strong op-ed after the gun shots were fired, Cook and Crew began intimidation through Abusive Litigation.
3. Galloway v Jones Case
a) Bobby Lee Cook also forced me, through a Motion to Compel, to testify in one of his civil cases where I did not know the litigants and which had been filed about Six Months prior to my even starting this website. For four hours, Bobby Lee Cook did not once ask a question about that case, (of which I knew nothing about), but attempted to try to force me to reveal my sources and answer humiliating questions about my past, from 25 years ago and more. This occurred at the second round of deposition. I and my son walked out of the first deposition when Bobby Lee Cook began calling her vulgar names, “Miss Nipples” and “God Damn Bitch”. (Exhibit 12, Below).
Think you’d be intimidated? Yet this is what your husbands have been aware of, had documentation on, and have still supported and allowed.
b) Now, Bobby Lee, in part with the help of your husbands, has brought cases against me, for which I am protected by Federal Law. Cheryl, your husband illegally tried to manipulate the situation as far back as June of last year, because he knew the cases could go no where, and because Bobby Lee Cook was exposed at that time to significant damages through Abusive Litigation.
We learned this fall that Stephanie Dennis, the Plaintiff in the case before Judge Matthews, was not a true Plaintiff, and we have an affidavit by someone who is highly respected in several counties to attest to that. But Cheryl, I guess those Country Club dues are stiff, and your husband had to be sure the dues got paid, both at the CCC and to Bobby Lee Cook for protecting his nasty, dirty little secrets, which outside of the Country Club are not so secret.
So, instead of allowing my witnesses to testify, good old WALT and Bobby Lee came up with a plan to remove my attorney from my case. It is illegal what he did, and that whole issue is before the Supreme Court of Georgia right now, which makes all of his pathetic little rulings in the last month so laughable.
Non-silk-stocking attorneys tell me frequently about how often Walt has changed signed Rule Nisis in the file, after copies of what was originally written and mailed, or, as in my case has made Signed Rule Nisi’s disappear. Then there are the long rambling disjointed explanations and circular reasoning he attempts to justify a ruling when the fix is in.
But this time, your husband has made public documents disappear, namely the log book which proves that he lied on the record in court. We just got a letter back from the Council of Superior Court Judges, to whom we had submitted a Georgia Open Records Request, and they had to admit that the records we seek, “No longer exist”.
Now tell me, why would a judge refuse to turn over evidence which are public records, and then actually make them disappear? Think he is hiding evidence of a CRIME?
Think you would be intimidated if everywhere you turned for help and answers, the wagons were circled?
We will be updating AG Thurbert Baker here shortly, about that turn of events.
But, I digress.
Back to the litigation BLC filed against me. Dennis is not a true Plaintiff, and the Hammitts, as it turns out, really were growing, using and trafficking in marijuana. We got the proof. Heck, I wonder if that family is frightened by this website. (Exhibit 20- Below).
But even if no proof had come available, the United States Code is very clear. Neither a website not its owners are responsible for what some BLOGGER posts.
I am not responsible and over and over in pleadings we made that clear, but your husband, Cheryl, is too ignorant and too arrogant to figure that out, and certainly too corrupt to care. There is no way he could have EVER read our answer to the law suit, or the Motion to Dismiss, or any other countless responsive pleadings throughout this last year, without knowing this case should NEVER have been brought.
4. Conspiracy to Violate Interstate Commerce
In late December, 2007 and early January, 2008, Bobby Lee Cook began calling and/or sending formal letters threatening my advertisers that they would be added to the law suits as “Co-conspirators” should they continue to advertise on the website. (Exhibit 10, Below).
My website now has NO ad revenues coming in, effectively gutting my operation and causing serious, long term financial hardships for me and my family. What if your husband’s salary which I and my readers help to pay through our taxes, was suddenly not there? Would you feel threatened then, Cheryl?
Not the final, but certainly one of the most disturbing, THREATENING and fear inducing events, was having this letter, (Exhibit 9, Below), delivered by Overnight Express Mail on Christmas Eve, after I had spent over a month struggling in pain.
Now, you feel intimidated? Your little book club, bridge playing worlds are probably all a-twitter with the excitement of how this must be so traumatic for you. But really, tell your husbands to grow some, and stop destroying evidence and hiding behind the skirts of the CSCJ - tell them to stop protecting members of the Dixie Mafia.
And by the way, if your husbands are going to be dancing with the devil, you had better get used to feeling threatened, but not from this side of the fence. In fact, it is that fear and intimidation imposed on good old Walt which has resulted in all of his rulings in this Dennis case over the last year.
You have nothing to fear from me, but the truth, and I will continue to expose it, regardless of how frightened you feel or how embarrassed you become.

Part VIII - The Definition of a “Directed Verdict”
February 4, 2009
Today, despite the fact that my case, Dennis v Watson et al, is in the Breast of the Supreme Court of Georgia, meaning Judge Matthews can not legally rule on any aspect of the case, Judge Matthews indeed held a hearing, and issued a Directed Verdict AGAINST me, the Defendant.
My friend, John Bailey of the Rome News Tribune called me this evening, as he ordering in the Starbuck’s drive through. “I’m gonna need a lot of coffee tonight for this one”.
He had called to find out what happened this morning in the hearing which Judge Walter Matthews order, illegally.
He told me that he had been called by the newsroom, because the Summerville News’ website was reporting that Judge Matthews had issued a Directed Verdict AGAINST me and my website, for comments posted by someone else, NOT ME, and which are protected by United States Code, 47USC230.
What makes this case even more bizarre is that the alleged Plaintiff, Stephanie Dennis, contacted several people in October to tell them that she had never authorized the case against me. One of those individuals took a great step of faith and courage to tell his story in an affidavit, and sign it. That affidavit is in several court pleadings now, and Judge Matthews has seen them.
That man was also present at the hearing on December 17, 2009, to testify to such, when Judge Matthews illegally removed my attorney from the case, which is the very act which allowed us the right to a Direct Appeal to the Supreme Court.
But today, despite the law, despite the facts of the case, despite the authority of the United States Code and the Supreme Court of Georgia, our Floyd County Superior Court Judge Walter J. Matthews issued a Directed Verdict against me and my website, the two defendants in this case, WHILE IT IS STILL pending in the Supreme Court.
This, I might add, is the same judge who, in the aftermath of his Marcus Dixon sentencing, was labeled the “Chief Judge of Hicksville, Georgia”, by the L.A. Times, for his obvious grasp of reality and his ignorance of the law.
Definition of Directed Verdict:
From www.lectlaw.com
DIRECTED VERDICT - A judge’s order to a jury to return a specified verdict, usually because one of the parties failed to prove its case. From www.wolrdnet.princeton.edu
Definitions of directed verdict on the Web:
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn In law, a directed verdict is ruling by a judge presiding over a jury trial typically made after the plaintiff has presented all of her evidence but before the defendant puts on his case, that awards judgment to the defendant.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_verdict At the close of a plaintiffs case, a defendant asks the court to rule that the plaintiff has failed to put forth sufficient evidence, even when …
www.id.uscourts.gov/terms-cd.htmAfter evidence has been presented and if no issue of fact remains for the jury to determine, the judge will tell the jury what verdict to return. The jury must return that verdict.
From www.nolo.com
A ruling by a judge, typically made after the plaintiff has presented all of her evidence but before the defendant puts on his case, that awards judgment to the defendant. A directed verdict is usually made because the judge concludes the plaintiff has failed to offer the minimum amount of evidence to prove her case even if there were no opposition. In other words, the judge is saying that, as a matter of law, no reasonable jury could decide in the plaintiff’s favor. In a criminal case, a directed verdict is a judgment of acquittal for the defendant.
Do you see a pattern here? Always in a JURY trial, and usually for the Defendant, because the Plaintiff does not have enough evidence to have brought the case.

Part VII - MEANWHILE, Back at the Ranch
(NOTE: For a full list of all of the Exhibits related to this multi-part story, please scroll down to the bottom of this installment)
February 2, 2009
It has long been understood that whenever a party files a Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Georgia, that an automatic Supersedeas or a Stay in all proceedings is in place.
This is case of “Direct Appeal”.
You see, O.C.G.A. 5-6-34 identifies “Contempt” during the proceedings of court, as a right of Direct Appeal to the Supreme Court, and case law over the years has clarified that even when the word “Contempt” is not used, that forcible removal of an attorney from a case by a Superior Court Judge, as Judge Matthews did during our December 17, 2008 hearing, is a case of criminal contempt which is directly appealable to the Supreme Court. (See 264 Ga. 641; IN RE AUGUST F. SIEMON III.; 449 SE2d 832 and 253 Ga. 789; GARLAND v. STATE; 325 SE2d 131).
Furthermore, a Superior Court Judge can only punish for contempt, according to O.C.G.A 15-6-8, by fining up to $500.00, or incarcerating someone. NOT REMOVING an attorney from a case:
TITLE 15. COURTS
CHAPTER 6. SUPERIOR COURTS
ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
O.C.G.A. 15-6-8 (2008)
15-6-8. Jurisdiction and powers of superior courts
The superior courts have authority:
(5) To punish contempt by fines not exceeding $500.00 and by imprisonment not exceeding 20 days; and
Superior Court Judges DO NOT have the authority to remove an attorney from a case, unless a request by the client to do so has been filed with the court.
SO, on January 16, 2009, we filed a Notice of Appeal in the Floyd County Superior Court, asking that all the files be transferred to the Supreme Court. Our new Clerk of Floyd County Court, Barbara Pinson, did as requested, and the Supreme Court having received the file and reviewed the elements, accepted the case and docketed it on January 21, 2009, assigning a Supreme Court Case number of S09M0738.
End of discussion.
Additionally, however, even prior to filing our Notice of Appeal, I had also filed a Motion to Disqualify and Affidavit in Support of, filing it within the 5-day period after Judge Matthews’ December 17, 2008 removal of my attorney, displaying an illegal and unethical bias toward Bobby Lee Cook and prejudice against my attorney and myself. I also cited relative Georgia Code, Georgia Judicial Cannons of Ethics and the United States Constitution, (relative to Civil Due Process), which all require that Judge Matthews remove himself from my case.
Now, for those who do not know, whenever a party files a Motion to Disqualify, the judge is BARRED from ruling on any other issue on the case until he resolves the Disqualification, and in most cases, is required to remove himself.
Finally, just in case Judge Matthews did not “get it” we also filed, on January 21, 2009, a formal Motion to Stay with the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Now, watch the time line which follows, and read some of Judge Matthews’ illegal rulings:
December 23, 2007 - Four Business days after Judge Matthews removed my attorney from my case, and within the required 5-Business day rule, I filed the Motion to Disqualify Judge Matthews, pro se, and Affidavit in Support Of as Judge Matthews order barred my attorney from filing anything with the Clerk of Court, (an illegal act by Judge Matthews).
January 16, 2009 - On the 30th day after the removal, I filed a Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Georgia, Pro se, again, as such “Notices” must be filed in the court of origin, and my attorney had been barred, (illegally), from filing anything with the Floyd County Clerk of Court. (Exhibit 21).
January 21, 2009 - We filed a formal Motion to Stay the Issues with the Georgia Supreme Court (Exhibit 22).
January 21, 2009 - Our case was formally docketed at the Georgia Supreme Court, and assigned a number - S09M0738.
Automatic Stay is in place, now, RIGHT?
BUT:
January 21, 2009 - Despite the pending Motion to Disqualify AND the Filed Notice of Appeal, Judge Matthews was STILL issuing orders in the case. (Exhibit 23).
But Note this order per Clerk of Court’s mailing certificate, was filed less than one hour after Plaintiff’s attorney, Bobby Lee Cook, received his certified mail copy of the Notice of Appeal, (Exhibit 24- copy of USPS printout and Signed green card enclosed).
January 26, 2009 - Now, I got the January 21, 2009 order from Judge Matthews on Saturday, January 24, 2009. So, on Monday morning, I called Judge Matthews’ secretary, Jeanne Roberts, and informed her that Judge Matthews had issued an order, the previous week, and ordered me to appear in court the next morning despite the pending Motion to Disqualify, and despite the Notice of Appeal, and despite the fact that I was a witness in criminal case in Walker County the next morning, legally conflicting with Judge Matthews’ order.
I also, assuming they may not know yet, informed her that on the same day Judge Matthews issued his order, we had further protected me by filing a formal Motion to Stay with the Supreme Court.
Ms. Roberts instructed me to call back later that day, after she had a chance to speak with Judge Matthews. When I called, shortly before 5:00 PM, no one answered.
January 27, 2009 - I called Judge Matthews’ secretary back on my way to the Walker County Criminal trial, in which I had to produce Certified Documents, and testify about the Chain of Custody of such. Ms. Roberts told me that Judge Matthews still expected me to be in his court room that morning despite EVERYTHING legal which allowed me not to appear, including that testimony in a criminal trial takes precedence over ALL other court obligations, including hearings in federal court which are not related to a criminal issue.
BUT, it gets better.
Judge Matthews indeed held the hearing without me on Tuesday, January 27, 2009, and sanctioned me severely.
But before he did so, Judge Matthews did something I have NEVER heard of a Judge doing. That morning, Floyd County Superior Judge Matthews called the Walker County Courthouse, and demanded that the criminal trial of Sherry DeRoche be interrupted, so that he could determine if I was indeed a witness. Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Senior Judge Jon Bo Wood then had to dismiss the jurors at that time to allow Ms. DeRoche’s attorney to speak to Judge Matthews to confirm that I was a witness testifying about the Chain of Custody for evidence in the form of Certified Public Documents which I had researched and retrieved the previous day from the Federal courthouse in Rome, Georgia.
Yet despite his untoward intrusion into another county’s criminal trial, and despite the fact that this case had already been docketed with, and a Motion for Stay filed with the Supreme Court of Georgia, Judge Matthews issued yet a third set of orders late that Tuesday afternoon.
1) In the first of these three orders issued that Tuesday, Judge Matthews writes that “The Defendant was absent from court without leave of Court and did not appear at the hearing”. (Exhibit 25a), despite the Subpoena (Exhibit 25b).
Judge Matthews then ordered me to pay to the Plaintiff , Stephanie Dennis, a sum of $2,500.00 by Tuesday, February 3, 2009, DESPITE the fact, that Judge Matthews knew by the pending Motion to Disqualify and by the Notice of Appeal, that this whole case was brought fraudulently by Bobby Lee Cook and Rex Abernathy WITHOUT Plaintiff’s consent.
He further ordered me to appear at court on Wednesday, February 4, 2009 at 9:00 AM, if I FAILED to pay the $2,500.00. I DID NOT PAY the $2,500.00. I guess Judge Matthews he thinks he will throw me in jail on Wednesday morning, but his restrictions on jailing me over non payment of his order, WITHOUT a jury trial is also prohibited by the Georgia Code:
TITLE 15. COURTS
CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
O.C.G.A. 15-1-4 (2008)
15-1-4. Extent of contempt power; when jury trial required; bond; appeal; violation of alimony or child support order
(b) No person shall be imprisoned for contempt for failing or refusing to pay over money under any order, decree, or judgment of any court of law or any other court of this state when he denies that the money ordered or decreed to be paid over is in his power, custody, or control until he has a trial by jury in accordance with the following provisions…
2) In the second order, Judge Matthews, who does not have the authority to do so,
actually presumed the powers of the Justices of the Supreme Court, and “Dismissed” our Notice of Appeal, on the grounds that it was “void as without any basis in law”.
This despite that it was filed, in part on O.C.G.A. 5-6-34 a (1) , O.C.G.A. 5-6-34 (d), O.C.G.A. 5-6-13 , O.C.G.A. 9-15-14 and O.C.G.A. 9-11-62, BUT MORE importantly that the power to deny a Notice of Appeal is not vested in Superior Courts, but only in the power of the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court had ALREADY accepted and docketed the case. (Exhibit 26)
Did Judge Matthews get his law degree off the back of a Cracker Jack Box?
3) Judge Matthews issued an Order on my Motion to Disqualify finding it was “NOT timely” nor “legally sufficient”, although it was filed before the five day deadline and cited Georgia law and United States Constitutional law relative to civil Due Process, as well as requirements of the Georgia Judicial Cannons of Ethics for Disqualification. (Also Exhibit 26).
IS Bobby Lee Cook Backtracking, Now?
A couple of final observation. On Tuesday afternoon, January 27, 2009, at 3:48 PM according to the USPS Overnight Envelope, and just minutes prior to the postal meter date and time of Judge Matthews’ three bizarre Orders, at 3:50pm, Bobby Lee Cook posted an overnight letter to me, telling me that “at the suggestion of the court” he was cancelling and withdrawing his Notice of Deposition of me, which was supposed to have taken place on Thursday, January 29, 2009.
I have no idea why he would be back tracking now, after Judge Matthews stuck his neck out for Bobby Lee Cook all of these last many months.
Continuing Criminal Enterprise & RICO:
In both federal and state law, one can find the terms CCE, (Continuing Criminal Enterprise), and RICO, ( Racketeering and Influenced Corrupt Organizations).
CCE’s are exactly what they sound like, organized enterprises to make money, which just happen to be making money by breaking laws. Mario Armas was found to be the head of a CCE which trafficked in marijuana and also laundered the illegal profits.
In RICO, CCE’s actually use intimidation, extortion, influence and bribery to get their work done.
Now, in both CCE and RICO, conspiracy is a primary element, and as few as two people can be part of a conspiracy. In RICO it takes two or more people, conspiring to commit at least two related crimes. It is NOT necessary to prove that an individual has participated in the entire breadth of a enterprise’s various activities. An individual co-conspirator need only to have willingly participated in one single overt act to be part of the over-arching conspiracy.
We already know, from Part VI of this series, that the Hammitts, who have also sued me and this website, are/were engaged in the cultivation, use and trafficking of, (to a Trion City Councilman), marijuana.
Let me assure my readers that this is now being investigated. The Trion Councilman has also been identified.
Those are several of the crimes in this particular CCE.
Bobby Lee Cook, Rex Abernathy and Jon Dennis have participated in conspiring to bring litigation against me and my website to intimidate me, FREE SPEECH and a FREE PRESS, while protecting the drug trafficking Hammits, and so those are another set of crimes in this CCE’s conspiracy, and because these crimes involve intimidation, and because there are two specific law suits, this is a RICO CCE.
So, a Superior Court Judge who happens to violate the law, and lies about documents he has signed, and refuses to turn over the evidence which proves he has lied, but which has been witnessed be several people - a Superior Court Judge who learns and does nothing about the fact that a “Plaintiff” in a case before him is not even a Plaintiff , all in order to PROTECT, Cover up the crimes of , and to help Perpetuate the CCE and its various activities, has engaged himself as a willing participant in a State and/or Federal RICO CCE Conspiracy.
In this particular RICO CCE, Judge Matthews has become involved in, and is a member of an organization which grows, uses and traffics in marijuana, files false and fraudulent litigation, intimidates advertisers, thus violating free trade laws, and which intimidates those who would practice Free Speech, and those who are members of a Free Press, the last two of which are serious violations of the United States Constitution’s First Amendment.
I hope that Floyd County Superior Court Judge Walter J. Matthews has a good criminal attorney.

Comments (50)
I am disgusted beyond what I thought I could be. Is there anyone left in any doubt as to the lengths BLC will go to, to shut TW up. If he had any respect for the law at this point, he would retire from practice. To think there is no justice in this world is a sad thing to contemplate. Is there any Judge with the intestinal fortitude to tell him to take a hike and do what they are on the bench to do. Deliver justice! It boggles the mind to think what he could possibly have to hold over these people’s heads, to keep them in line. It surely isn’t friendship. Need I say, this is my opinion not to be mistaken for any inside knowledge other than my intuition.
Dear Room4,
As I told EBF, I learned yesterday from a Lyerly Source, that BLC & Rex, et al, simply want me to be arrested so that there is a Mug Shot which they can then post to the internet, so that no matter whatever happens with these cases, that my photo and arrest are FOREVER accessible - with no explanation about the “Rest of the Story?
They are hoping, according to the Lyerly Source, that I will be arrested in time for them to get the photo into tomorrow’s edition of the SN.
I am dressed and waiting…just blue jeans and a turtleneck, but, at least showered and ready to go.
My stomach is churning and my heart is pounding, and my husband’s blood pressure is through the roof. If something happens to him, I will do everything in my power to see that Judge Matthews, BLC and Rex, Jack Harris and the others are held accountable.

For many years as I watched the “shenanigans going on at the Floyd County Courthouse” I always thought that at least One Judge was honest and fair. That Judge was Walter Matthews. His manner and his courtroom demeanor seemed to reflect his intelligience and background. I really thought that he was a class act. It seems I was totally wrong.
I have much experience with lawyers and judges over the years, sometimes on a social basis, sometimes in a civil matter, and sometimes just in general conversation. I have had heated exchanges with all but Durham, and look upon each of them with the respect they have earned. I think that comment is self-explanatory.
I personally believe that it is below the dignity of the “Court” to engage in the kind of activity that we have recently heard about. It is obvious that his temper has overcome his good sense and experience. The Judicial Canons do not give a Superior Court Judge the power that he has used to enforce his will on Ms. Watson and the public in General. I have observed him on more than one occasion turn beet red and go into tirades unbecoming of this office that he was by the way “Appointed to”. He nor any of the other sitting Judges was elected, but politically appointed. I believe the Canon mentions “At any time there is ANY appearance of “bias or impropriety” that to avoid the above a Good Judge should recuse himself. It is obvious that Judge Matthews has commited the Cardinal Sin of being a Judge, He is taking the whole thing personally and he is NOT following that narrow road that the Canons and his mandate as a Superior Court Judge calls for.
Judge Matthews, please reflect on this matter and be the Judge that we always believed you to be, Do not be a tyrant. That is simply not the definition of “Judge”. My opinion
P.S.- I neglected our newly ELECTED Judge Niedrach whom I believe to be above reproach. He is a good man and it is my sincere hope that he will show the others what honesty looks like.
Dear BlueEyes,
I am guessing you must be an attorney, as you were hanging around the Walker County Courthouse last week, UNLESS you are Honest LE. Come to think of it, perhaps that is what you are.
But I , too, hope that Judge Niedrach will show, not only Honesty, but Impartiality and Integrity in all things. That is the kind of judge we need.
BTW, I love the comment about showing them the respect they have earned…which for at least two of those sitting on the Bench in Floyd County, is not much.
tw
TW, I just read your reply to Evan. If you are arrested, please have someone write of the arrest here and where you will be taken.
Dear Room4,
I have made arrangements for a Bondsman, who will call a certain few folks, and at least one of them will be able to post this information here.
tw
TW,
If you are arrested and when they take this picture you might want to have a big smile on your face and show the thumps up sign. That make the picture tell the whole story. Also these are not high quality pictures. You might even want to dress yourself with makeup so the picture will not show you being pale like they do with cheap film. I like the idea of suing Floyd County only if you are arrested. When you win we could have one heck of a cheeseburger and beer party! Even though I do n ot drink, I do encourage it. Hee hee
Dear EBF,
I like you ideas. I will smile and give a big thumbs up. I grin a lot, anyway, even when I am oblivious to the fact that I am smiling. I just generally am in a good mood, and am happy, and find great humor in most things. But I do have my limits.
However, the very thought of grinning and giving the thumbs up delights me, and I am smiling again. I am also listening to my favorite CD, Kathleen Battles’ “Grace” CD. And it is so beautiful today - cold, but gorgeous.
As for the pale-face factor, I cannot do anything about that. Even with makeup, I am a very Scottish descendant white-wash. Even with Theatrical makeup and tons of blush in the last opera I was in at Shorter, (Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermause - so funny if you ever get to see it), the director kept interrupting during Dress Rehearsal to get more color on Watson. And the dark hair only accentuates the pale complexion.
My 12 year old grandson, who is into the whole “Twighlight” Vampire novel series, thinks I make the perfect Vampire woman. BTW, DO NOT confuse the Twighlight Vampire Kids with Goth. Both will be highly offended.
What can I say.
tw
TW,
Maybe you could put on a veil and tell them you are Muslim. If they refuse you the veil you can call the ACLU for your rights being violated. Hee hee
Dear EBF,
Now that is funny, but, alas, I used to sing in Judge Matthews’ Church, the First Presbyterian of Rome, Georgia, and he has even complimented me on my solo work before, back when I used to go there.
So, I am guessing the “Muslim” thing would not stand up. Besides, with a Jewish heritage from the days of my great, great grandfather back in Scotland, I think that would also not fly. Betraying my Judeo-Christian heritage is not an option.
But, I know you are kidding, and that makes me laugh.
tw
TW,
I think the name “white trash” should be reserved for those who are responsible for corrupting our judicials systems.
I would like to know if anyone from the television, movie industry, etc. has contacted you about these storys about murder, corruption, adultery, etc. Could you tell us what media entities have contacted you?
Dear EBF,
A few have contacted me, including a producer with ABC’s 20/20 and someone from Court TV. They both are keeping an eye on things, and say they will do a segment when something gets resolved. Among those elements suggested in a time table for ABC’s 20/20 was the dismissal or victory of some kind in either the Dennis or the Hammitt case, or a conviction of Carlton Vines, or any indictment of BLC.
A woman from the Discovery Channel also contacted me, to tell me that she was hooked on my website, and had, at that time, made her way through most of my anthology. She said that another person in the news business had gotten her hooked, and when she and a few others get together, it is like “Book Club” with my latest installment.
That is very flattering.
BUT, nothing definitive, yet. Those are all New York and New Jersey people, or upper New England, and so I imagine they have heard through the grapevine about William Abbate’s story.
BTW, if someone has not read that story and seen the documents, check out the May 1, 2008 “The Continuing Criminal Enterprise that Is Bobby Lee Cook”.
Now, with this involvement by Matthews in the protection of Bobby Lee Cook’s Criminal Enterprise, given Matthews’ involvement in the Marcus Dixon case, media is perking up their heads again.
So, the Supreme Court should be ruling in my case about the time Carlton Vines’ trial wraps up, so we may have a Double Header, which will not bode well for Floyd County Superior Court Judge Walter J. Matthews, who in one major newspaper back during the aftermath of the Marcus Dixon sentencing, was labeled the Chief Judge of Hicksville, Georgia.
We are not hicks here in Floyd County, but a judge who has no clue what the hell the law says about critical issues and fundamental and basic precepts of law, makes us all laughing stocks.
Oh, and I forgot - A woman from MSNBC contacted me during the Bart Huskey coverage. We had a good chat, too, and she told me that after reading about the connections to Bart Huskey and the cartel lower tier management, she was now a fan of the website, too.
Which reminds me. We still have never been allowed to find out which of the FOUR Floyd County Superior Court Judges was linked to the Child Porn site, which the FBI is working on. That was announced in May or so of 2007, but Judge Matthews refused to identity who was being investigated. I assumed F. Larry Salmon, since he did not re-up this last go around, and because folks had brought me stories of deals he made with petty drug users for their girl friends to do things on video.
But with Judge Matthews’ frantic and illogical protectionism of BLC, one has to wonder.
The FBI confirmed that they were investigating this, but that the proceeds earned on the Child Porn website were deposited into a Russian bank, and the Russians would not force the bank to reveal to where the monies went after they left the Russian Bank.
That story can be found in the Rome News Tribune archives. It was right after Branch Connelly was found dead, and he has definitely been linked by persons who have contacted me, former lovers of his, to child porn. According to several women, BC was addicted and to and actively engaged in child porn, and those are also active investigations.
So, maybe it was Judge Matthews who had the Child Porn site set up to cash in on the unbelievable cash cow. Maybe Bart Huskey knows.
And, Who knows. Maybe one day it will all come out, and I will get a book deal.

THIS TO SHALL PASS, THE SNAKES IN CHATTOOGA, FLOYD & WALKER COUNTY, WILL GET WHATS COMING, WE NEED TO BE PATIENT AND WAIT, HOW LONG?????? REMEMBER ITS NOT WHEN WE WANT IT, ITS WHEN THE LORD WANTS IT AND IT WILL BE RIGHT ON TIME. TERESA TRY NOT TO LET THIS GET TO YOU BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT . STAY STRONG BECAUSE YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. WE WILL OVER COME, WITH SO MANY BLESSING, MONEY CAN NOT BUY WHAT THE LORD HAS INSTORE. WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK ON THIS AND SAY I MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY’S JOURNEY.
I trust you will be filing an appeal of this despicable order. It sounds as if his order today acts as a final order in the matter, thereby allowing you to get the whole case before the appropriate appellate court. Make sure to either amend your pending appeal or to file a new appeal based on today’s order . . . my guess is that today’s order may have to go to the Court of Appeals instead of the Supreme Court, but I am not sure. I trust that Mr. Anderson and you will be researching and determining the appropriate course of action. I would hate to see some technicality screw up your appeal and end up with these cronies actually getting a victory.
As far as the judgment entered, based on the threat in his previous order to strike your answer, I would guess that he entered a default judgment and not a directed verdict. Your reporter friend most likely has the terms confused and used the wrong one.
The worst part of all of this is that the judge has obviously allowed this case to become personal. He has completely blown any notions of impartiality and fairness. What a shameful display of our legal community in action!
God’s speed to you and yours, Teresa.
Dear Samwise,
We are filing under a number of codes, as Vincent’s removal necessarily blocks my Due Process coming forward.
I have no attorney, therefore I could not have representation under the items. But a criminal contempt, which is what removal is considered, gives automatic right of removal.
A sound basis is 5-6-34, which identifies contempt as a right of Direct appeal, and specifically, in OCGA § 5-6-34(d) which provides then that once an appeal is made of the primary issue, that:
all judgments, rulings, or orders rendered in the case which are raised on appeal and which may affect the proceedings below shall be reviewed and determined by the appellate court, without regard to the appealability of the judgment, ruling, or order standing alone and without regard to whether the judgment, ruling, or order appealed from was final or was appealable by some other express provision of law contained in this Code section, or elsewhere.
But we are relying heavily on the case law I cited earlier in Tuesday’s story, which I will give a snippet of, with regards to removing the attorney. Others are Judge Matthews essentially barring our witnesses, like the one who could testify that Stephanie Dennis told him she was not a Plaintiff, and, the LE individual who could speak to criminal actions in the case.
I do not want to give everything away, but here is a tidbit, since outside of court, Mr. Anderson accused Judge Matthews of misconduct, which is why Judge Matthews removed him, for something he said OUTSIDE of court:
IN RE AUGUST F. SIEMON III.
S94A0993
HUNT, Chief Justice
The issue in this appeal concerns the validity of the trial court’s order against August F. Siemon III, finding him in contempt and summarily forever barring him from appearing in any capacity before that court’s division. We reverse and remand.
Siemon, acting as an attorney for the defendant in a capital case, filed a motion to recuse the trial court, alleging misconduct on the part of the trial court.(fn1) The following day, without notice or hearing, the trial court issued the order from which Siemon appeals.
While the trial court did not use the word “contempt,” it is apparent from the order that the trial court found Siemon’s allegations in the motion to constitute contempt, and, in barring him from that division of the court, intended to treat as criminal contempt what the trial court saw as an affront to its integrity.
1. We note at the outset that a trial court has broad authority to preserve order in the courtroom by use of the contempt power. Garland v. State, 253 Ga. 789, 791 (2) (325 SE2d 131) (1985). The judicial power to punish for contempt is inherent and enables the courts to perform their functions, including preserving order in judicial proceedings. Crudup v. State, 218 Ga. 819, 820 (130 SE2d 733) (1963); Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Sec. I, Par. IV; Stumpf, Inherent Powers of the Court (National Judicial College 1994), p. 16; Johnson and Reaves, Contempt of Court in Georgia, 723 Ga. State Bar Journal 66, 69 (Nov. 1986). See also OCGA § 15-1-3 (4). Nevertheless, in view of the nature of the power to punish for contempt, courts should limit their orders to the least possible exercise of power required, and should not impose punishment without first affording minimum due process to the accused. Contempt of Court in Georgia, supra at 72. See also Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U. S. 488, 500 (94 SC 2697, 41 LE2d 897) (1974). Moreover, in contempt actions, just as in all proceedings, trial judges must disqualify themselves where their impartiality might reasonably be questioned. Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 3 C (1).
2. The trial court, in imposing summary punishment against Siemon without affording Siemon minimum due process, exceeded its authority. In Dowdy v. Palmour, 251 Ga. 135, 141 (2) (304 SE2d 52) (1983), we reviewed the due process requirements in contempt proceedings, as set forth by the U. S. Supreme Court in Taylor v. Hayes, supra. Those requirements include, except in rare instances, the right to notice of the charges of contempt and a hearing on those charges. Dowdy v. Palmour, supra at 142 (2). The posture of this case was not such that the trial court by necessity was compelled to act summarily for the purpose of maintaining order in the courtroom.(fn2) See Taylor v. Hayes, supra, 418 U. S. at 497-498; Dowdy v. Palmour, supra at 141-142 (2); OCGA § 15-1-4. Consequently, Siemon was entitled to notice of the charges against him and to a hearing on those charges.
3. Likewise, due process in this case required that another judge hear the charges against Siemon. Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U. S. 501-503; Dowdy v. Palmour, supra at 142 (2); In re Crane, 253 Ga. 667 (1) (324 SE2d 443) (1985). Canon 3 C (1) of the Code of Judicial Conduct calls for disqualification where the judge’s “impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances where: (a) the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party’s lawyer. …” While not every attack on a judge, particularly a baseless attack, disqualifies that judge from deciding and imposing punishment in a contempt matter, compare Maples v. Seeliger, 165 Ga. App. 201, 202 (2) (299 SE2d 906) (1983), the extreme punishment imposed by the trial court, and the summary nature and language of the trial court’s order reveal that the trial court’s reaction was cloaked with “’such a likelihood of bias or an appearance of bias that the judge was unable to hold the balance between vindicating the interests of the court and the interests of the accused.’” [Cit.] Taylor v. Hayes, supra, 418 U. S. at 501. Accordingly, the trial court, while it was authorized to provide notice to Siemon of the charges against him, was then required to refer the matter to another judge for hearing. Dowdy v. Palmour, supra at 142 (2).(fn3)
4. Finally, we agree with Siemon that the punishment of barring him from a division of a superior court is not available for criminal contempt. In these circumstances, the superior court’s power to punish is limited by OCGA § 15-6-8 (5) which gives those courts authority to punish contempt by fines not exceeding $500 and imprisonment not exceeding 20 days. Mathis v. Corrugated Gear, 263 Ga. 419, 422
(6) (435 SE2d 209) (1993).(fn4)
For the above reasons, the trial court’s order barring Siemon from practice before that division of the court is reversed and remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Judgment reversed and remanded. All the Justices concur. Sears, J., disqualified
DECIDED November 21, 1994
Contempt. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Hill.
August F. Siemon III, pro se.
Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Doris L. Downs, Carl P. Greenberg, Assistant District Attorneys, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, John C. Jones, Daryl A. Robinson, Senior Assistant Attorneys General, Carla J. Friend, for appellee.
_____________________
Footnotes:
1 The denial of the motion to recuse was not appealed.
2 In Taylor v. Hayes, supra, the Supreme Court pointed out that summary punishment is regarded with disfavor, and that even where imposed during trial, the contemnor normally is afforded an opportunity to be heard. 418 U. S. at 498. See also Contempt Of Court In Georgia, supra at p. 70.
3 Whether, in the face of a personal attack, a judge must refer a contempt proceeding to another judge, depends on the facts and circumstances in each case.
4 Because of the unconditional nature of the punishment imposed, it is apparent that the trial court intended to treat Siemon’s allegations as criminal contempt. See Ensley v. Ensley, 239 Ga. 860, 861 (238 SE2d 920) (1977); Contempt of Court in Georgia, supra at 68. Assuming Siemon’s allegations prove to constitute contempt, an order of punishment for criminal contempt, rather than a remedial, conditional disposition would seem appropriate. The statutory limitations of OCGA § 15-6-8 (5) apply only to criminal contempt. Ensley v. Ensley, supra. This is not to say that Siemon’s allegations against the trial court might not provide the basis for civil actions for libel or slander, or disciplinary proceedings against Siemon. See Garland v. State, 253 Ga. 789, 792 (2) (325 SE2d 131) (1985).

But, Samwise, Everything else coming forward is polluted since Matthews refused to recuse himself, even after removing my attorney, and refused to hear my witnesses.
I want to appeal today’s order, but I do not have the money, and Vincent is already completely buried WITHOUT much remuneration so far. Also, while the SN is saying this is a Directed Verdict, the RNT is saying this is a Default Judgment.
I am besides myself. Besides BLC having all the money in the world, they have also got a silk stocking firm assisting them, the Floyd County attorney’s firm, with Jack Harris and a multitude now of paralegals. They can all tag team. Jack Harris was quoted tonight by the RNT.
We need a break. We need a miracle. I cannot take it any longer. I am at that braking point here.
For Stephanie Dennis to contact me and friends of mine and beg me to do something, that she was not a Plaintiff, and then to have a judge refuse my attorney in December, who was prepared to present evidence about that, and about the criminal aspects of this case, with a LE witness, TO bar my attorney from representing me when I have no money and no other means to get an attorney is beyond the pale, and to hold now THREE hearing without me being represented, two of which have been since I filed the Notice of Appeal, I am stunned.
THIS IS NOT AMERICA. This is Not America. This is not America.
I cannot take it anymore. I cannot take it anymore. I cannot take it anymore.

One quick question — What basis are you using to file your current appeal with the Supreme Court instead of the Court of Appeals? I don’t see anything in the Constitution as to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court that would allow your case to go there instead of the Court of Appeals.
The Supreme Court’s online docket shows that the appellee filed a brief on 2/2. Have you received this from BLC & crew yet? It’s odd that they would file before you . . . unless they are seeking an immediate dismissal of the appeal.
Dear Sam,
I have NOT seen that and neither has my attorney. We have until Monday.

These judges seem to be making all of their decisions from a personal standpoint. What is going on with that? The public is very curious about the reasoning behind all this. Why are they taking this web-site so personal? If there is nothing to hide why are they trying so hard to bump this site off? Curiouser and curiouser!
I just saw a picture on the Summerville News site of a woman carrying a large envelope. It isn’t a mugshot, but a very flattering picture. That can’t be Teresa Watson, can it? I was expecting a frumpy old granny not a smiling, classy lady. You have led us wrong on your appearance. Shame on you.
Dear Whatsnews,
That was snapped during the Galloway hearings, more than a year ago.
tw
From what I understand, you failed to appear in court on Wednesday to oppose the motion of the Plaintiffs. Why are you complaining now when you didn’t show up? Just curious.
Dear 2,
I am complaining because there is an automatic Stay in place, because Judge Matthews illegal removal of my attorney in December, gives a right of DIRECT Appeal to the Supreme Court, which we took advantage of on January 16, 2009, so that ANY and ALL of his rulings are premature ejaculations, and the boys are blanks at that.
If he wants to continue his perpetuation of and protection of the Dixie Mafia, he could at least wait until the Supreme Court rules on the subject. But as of January 16, everything he does will be reversed. This does not mean we will win what we are appealing, but it does mean that since we filed the Notice of Appeal, Good old Walt has not had the authority to do what he has done.
That’s all.
tw
Just heard chattooga 1180 radio station and they said Dennis won her case. Is it because it was Mathews presiding as the judge? Teresa, what is next? Can you appeal and bring out all you know? Hope so.
Let us all know what’s next. Please, if some attorney is reading this website step up and represent Teresa. When all is said and done whatever attorney that is strong and not scared and willing to fight will come out good in the long run. My opinion.
Dear SL,
In the real world of NWGA Judiciary, the answer to you question is “Yes” about the judge.
But the Clerk of the Supreme court has a different take. My attorney talked to the Clerk of Supreme Court today, who is once again baffled about Matthews continued activities. She said that perhaps, because the case was mislabeled under “M” for Emergency Stay, when it is a Direct Appeal, on the illegal removal of Mr. Anderson from the case, that perhaps Matthews did not realize there is a automatic right of Direct Appeal to the SC.
I think this will be corrected by Monday or Tuesday, and at least by the time we actually file our appeal, changing the designation from “M” to “A”.
Of course, we still have until Tuesday to file the Appeal & Brief, so, we can still simply add that to the whole case.

Read the articles, Two Decades. 20 years in age? I have learned plenty since I was 20. I dare say you will pick up more knowledge as you navigate the uneven playing field.
Two Decades has nothing to do with my age. I can assure you that I am way holder than that. It’s a name and nothing more. I just think that someone who doesn’t show up in court and then gets on here and complains is like the person who doesn’t vote and then gripes about his officials. It’s whining to the wind instead of the place where it might have done so good. And I can assure you I have read every article on here.
You think TW should have gone whining to the Judge without representation? Whining? Your term.
Dear Whatsnews,
Speaking about whining, you should see the story I just posted. I got hauled into see the FBI because Judge Matthews and Jack Harris and their families feel threatened by this website and the blogs.
I told them to identify what law I had broken and arrest me. No law was identified and not arrest was made.
The story details REAL intimidation tactics by BLC.
BTW, the Porn Spam - much of it Child porn SPAM - is WAY up today, Someone posting on here today has been bringing the abominations attached to their e-mails addresses, almost like �The Shadow� and �Redneck� used to.
Wonder who that could be. I had to delete through more than 150 of these abominations this evening when I got home.
tw
Two Decades,
The reason TW did not show up was because she was a witness in another corrupt court in a criminal trial. Matthews knew this and knows that being a witness in a criminal trial has priority over a civil trial.
I appears that judge matthews is appeasing blc by issuing a default judgement to let a jury rule on damages which he knows will be appealed. By doing this he gets it out of his court room, and appeases blc and possibly saving any integrity he has left if he has any.
TW,
You went to the same church with this fool? What is he doing in church? It appears matthews he thinks blc is a god and therefore he chooses to worship and ask blc for forgivness.
My opinion.
AMAZING? That’s all that I can say. You people here on this site who support Teresa Watson are cut from the same cloth as those who think Kennedy was a conspiracy and not just Oswald, who think Aliens have abducted people, and that there is a conspiracy under every rock. You idiots have ENABLED a mentally sick but crazy woman Teresa Watson. So, now, after all her BS and practicing law without a license or law degree, and misquoting and misinterpreting the law, she has LOST. And when this goes to a jury, she will lose everything. Soon, this ridiculous mess will be over. I am no fan of Bobby Lee Cook. However, in this case, Teresa has been able to find a way to snatch a total loss out of what could have been a victory. Remember folks, this is a lady who started a website going after corruption and has now been corrupted herself. She has lost all credibility as have her followers. Very soon this site will be closed and Teresa will be out of business. And I blame most of you idiots who supported her and pushed her into all this deranged BS and now look. Trying to paint Judge Matthews is corrupt is just living in a dream world. I can tell you with almost certainty that she won’t win in any way, shape, form or fashion. She will lose everything because of her own actions and those of you crazy people who post dumb and stupid remarks to “agg” her on. What a shame.
TW,
Since there has to be a jury trial on damages, you will at least have the opportunity to be there for that and try to mitigate the damages portion of the trial. Also, that buys you more time since you don’t have to file an appeal of the default judgment until after the damages ruling, which then makes it a final ruling. If you don’t have the money to file right now, at least amend your appeal with the Supreme Court by adding to that appeal the fact that the trial court continued on with the case even after you filed your notice and sought a stay.
Dear Samwise,
You are right about that. My attorney talked to the Clerk of Superem Court today, who is once again baffled about Matthews continued activities. She said that perhaps, because the case was mislabeled under “M” for Emergency Stay, when it is a Direct Appeal, on the illegal removal of Mr. Anderson from the case, that perhaps Matthews did not realize there is a automatic right of Direct Appeal to the SC.
I think this will be corrected by Monady sometime, changing the designation from “M” to “A”.
Of course, we still have until Tuesday to file the Appeal & Brief, so, we can still simply add that to the whole case.
tw
Two Decades: It is obvious that you have not followed this site or the goings on with the good Judge Matthews. Ms. Watson has followed the rules in each and every case. This whole thing is an example of the Good Ole Boy system, and it stinks as usual.
Judge Matthews has traded years of good work and service to the community for a pat on the head. I believe this whole series of events will be looked at by the Judcial Qualifications Commitee and overturned. I also hope that the proper system of checks and balances will finally look at these recent happenings and help this Lady who is being bullied and spat upon by the very system she fights for. It is sickening.
By the way Two Decades, you have stated that you are way HOLDER than that. Just how HOLDER are you?
Do people understand that she is being railroaded and bullied? I am sure that has come across loud and clear. A jury will be unlikely to find in the plaintiffs favor, if there is a plaintiff.
Here’s what should scare everybody that lives in that area, if it can happen to her, it can happen to ANYBODY. I can’t believe that all of this is going on, and NOBODY has had the guts to step up to the plate and put a stop to it. It’s beginning to seem like their are NO good people left that are in any kind of position of importance. Where is the lawyer that is willing to step up and fight, where is the Judge that is willing to stand for justice? God bless you Mrs. Watson, the prayers of the people are with you.
Dear Art,
Check out the story I just posted. It is really beyond the pale.
tw
evanbubbafoster, ROOM4ONEMORE, Art Dodger, Blue Eyes, and the rest of you uninformed, uneducated, people trying to be lawyers and give legal advise to Teresa, you people are flat out wrong and there will NEVER be a judicial review of Judge Matthews. It won’t happen. Nor will BLC pay a price. These people are fed up with Teresa Watson trying to practice law and fail everytime. Do you really think Judge Matthews would capitulate to Bobby Lee Cook after serving as a Judge for as long as he has? Get real. You people need to find another hobby and pasttime other than continuing to support a sinking ship. Teresa is mentally ill. And you have enabled her to the point she actually believes the legal BS she writes. And then you just believe whatever she says. Let me tell you that with 100% certainty, be prepared that the Judge and jury will throw the book at her. She will be out of business and bankrupt in short order. Take that to the bank.
TW,
Hang in there. You are doing, exactly, what they want you to do; “GIVING UP”. Remember, what I told you recently, they are doing their best to beat you down, physically, as well as, financially.
How much does it cost to file, an appeal? You need to contact me.
You cannot do this alone. Fall on your knees, and ask the Lord, for deliverance, again. You will triumph. What else, do you have on your side, besides the Lord? The media!! All this publicity; is what has triggered all of this, unacceptable behavior from our courts. They don’t believe your story, will ever go any farther, than their kangaroo court; which they led everyone to believe, they own. They DO NOT, the PEOPLE do, and I know you will prevail.
Maybe, if BLC, & Matthews, had just stayed quiet, and stepped to the side; as Judge Hill & Salmon has done, this would have already passed for them, too. The ole saying still holds true;
“The guilty dog always barks back.” I am sure, there is better wording, but at this time, my only concerns, are for you.
BLC & Matthews, you, only you; have incriminated yourself, all on your own. Neither one of you, has earned the title your names should bear, which I personally, refuse to address you as such.
My stomach is in knots, for you, TW. Why would they arrest you? I thought, all they would do, is try to hit, you with a big fine; which you will appeal. They are trying to bleed you dry financially. Money does not always triumph. Do not let them, do this to you!!!! They are scared, and once again, running amuck. I can guarantee you, they are sitting back laughing; thinking that they have finally got you.
Where is that fire, you hold inside, to fight corruption? Ben Ballinger should be working for you, for free. I know, for a fact, he is not looking good, and the booze is starting to take its toll, on spineless Ben. I do not have any sympathy, for him. TW, don’t forget, thanks to BB, is why you are not fighting this in a federal court, where it was; and he had it removed, if I understood the story correctly. Of course, this is all my opinion.
One last thing that might could help you, in some way. On, that Facebook site, everyone seems to be interested in; there is a story on their introduction web page, in regards to a suit, they were brought in on, because of what someone wrote on their site. They won the case, and give the case name; they sited; to prove they were not liable. Maybe, this might be able to help you, in some way?
You have more knowledge about the law, than BLC or Matthews, & you are very intimidating, to these 2 ole men. There is no way at their age, the way; they have taken everything so personal; that they comprehend the law, the way it should be comprehended or interpreted. It actually, makes them look guilty; which leads you to wonder, what they have done, that they are trying to hide, and seem to be so concerned about??? No one has ever stood up like this to ole BLC, until you came along; and he is grabbing every straw and every favor, he can find!!! LMAO…. All, I see, is two scared, spineless; ole men. lol…. BLC, if you died today, you would die in disgrace. No doubt about it.
Since, I do not know much about the law, I may be wrong. The court they are dragging you through, is state. That’s why, they think, they can wear you out. Along, with the fact, the Federal system isn’t a country club, as everyone else thinks it is which they know that’s not true. They are horrified; they might find themselves, behind those bars.
Is, Ms. Dennis back with her husband?
Keep digging, and do not let up. I give you my full support, and vow to help you, as much I can.
You are in my thoughts and prayers daily!!! Be sure and contact me.
A loyal Supporter!
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Dear SAK,

Poor babies.

To all the Cowards in Chatooga and Walker Counties,
I am very dissapointed in the people of Chatooga and Walker Counties. You people know you have a very corrupt judicial system and all you do is complain about it secretly and say “I do not want to get involved”. Well now is the time to get involved and take your judicial system back. Stop being scared of blc and his cronies and stand up to them. Teresa Watson is trying to rid your counties of these unamerican traitors and all you people do is sit on your butts and say”I hope she wins”. Because you are afraid to do something you are undeserving of her efforts and deserve these dictators to keep you being the cowards that you are. Teresa needs money and an attorney. Get it to her before you start making everyone who chooses to expose this corruption sick. If you do not stand up to this corruption and the company you work for decides to close, ask yourself this; If I had a company would I want it to be here knowing the judicial system is one of the most corrupt in the country? If you do not stand up for this cause then stop whinning about your local economy as you deserve all the drug problems and other crimes this court system allows.
Get some courage and stop letting these treasonist hold you down!
Dear EBF,
Thank you so much.
I did get some good news today. Judge Matthews are definitely void, as we ARE under protection in the Supreme Court.
Once again we were assured that a Superior Court Judge does not have the authority to “Dismiss” a Notice of Appeal.
My attorney talked to the Clerk of Supreme Court today, who is once again baffled about Matthews’ continued activities. She said that perhaps, because the case was mislabeled under “M” for Emergency Stay, when it is a Direct Appeal on the illegal removal of Mr. Anderson from the case, that perhaps Matthews did not realize there is a automatic right of Direct Appeal to the SC.
I think this will be corrected by Monday, changing the designation from “M” to “A”.
Of course, we still have until Tuesday to file the Appeal & Brief, so, we can still simply add that to the whole case.
tw
The comment about the .38 caliber probably made them uneasy. I personally would prefer to see you use an AK or AR. Mow them down like grass. Get it over with quicker. Pieces of $hit that they are. Cook is a bitch. I better never see his bitch ass in NY. He knows better. He ran like a bitch when my friends introduced themselves to him at his favorite upper East-side hotel. LOL
No TW you don’t understand, BLC is allowed to slap people around, call you names. 
Maybe if
you got a military back ground driver you might be able to get away with it I don’t know.
Dear JH,
As long as people are protected in their downtown churches and their country club, all is well, and all of us are crazy cospiracy nuts.

You want to know about intimidation? The thought of a jail cell is an intimidating thing to contemplate. I do believe the owner of this site has been threatened with that a few times. I continually have friends tell me that I can be in deep trouble if I become a target of the system in Chattooga County. I say to them that keeping their mouths shut is fine if they can look themselves in the mirror everyday. Not me. I say what I think and will tell it to a fence post if that is all that is available. I don’t like seeing a woman kicked around by a bunch of good ole boys. Maybe these fine intimidated women TW mentions should have taken an interest in what their men have been up to before now and put an end to it. I have been in fear for TW’s life from the first moment I heard about this website. I can only imagine how intimidated she has felt. I can’t believe she has stood her ground as long as she has. We have lived in intimidation and fought back from the very real fear that it would be our last moment on earth. Not to be. Those Angels have protected us and we have lived long past what we ever expected. Out of that fear now and not much a bunch of corrupt egomaniacs can do to put the fear back.
Why would TW’s words intimidate an honest person? Is there fear that an angry mob will come calling when all the details are out? Those nasty little details. People just refuse to keep their mouths shut, don’t they?
Dear Room4,
I had ice cold something running through my belly last year when Bobby Lee Cook proclaimed to the world, through the SN and the RNT that he would see me in jail. I was in pain as we went to that hearing for having walked out of the first Galloway deposition when BLC called me “Miss Nipples” and GD Bitch.
I experienced it again later in January, and during the long deposition. But still after four hours, he demanded more, and there was yet ANOTHER hearing. I was covering the Mexican Mafia trial, and while technically did not have to be at the hearing, I had to keep checking in to see if I would be found in contempt, and a bench warrant issued in that case.
When I saw the pictures on the SN’s website of the Chattooga County jail a few weeks ago, I started trembling again. I almost had to go there at BLC’s hands.
But bridge playing, country club darlings have no such worries. They sit around and talk about how they cannot believe that the “Angel on Saving Grace” could dare appear to a Muslim. That was the extent of Judge Matthews’ wife’s concerns last year, according to some acquaintances of hers at the Coosa Country Club, or maybe it was her bridge club. She was aghast that the television show would insinuate that Muslims could be good and deserving to be loved by God, too, sich that HE would send an angel to appear to them. She is, after all, a Christian…
Oh my.
tw
I’m sure it wasn’t painful for you or your husband to have to make the decision for you to stay behind when his mother passed? No advertisers, no money for a flight for two.
Why would anyone be intimidated by a gaggle of lawyers with money going after blood from a woman that had already been called vulgar names in a deposition and humiliated in front of her own son? Is this all normal behavior and expected in CC? Can all this be considered bullying and intimidating? A pack of wolves on a Grandma sheep, attempting to tear her apart because she asks too many questions? Perhaps it is because she is providing so many answers? Answers to questions they don’t want asked? Just rambling on with my opinion of what I see.
Dear Room 4,
It was fun to have to NOT buy Christmas presents for my kids and grandkids, because we had to pay for an attorney to represent me in those never ending Galloway v Jones depositions. And, all that debt and the interest rates on the money we had to borrow, which ended up being the WHOLE amount won by BLC for his client, WHO NEVER GOT deposed - what a blast.
No, I have never spent countless nights worring about my husband’s blood pressure or our bills, or what every bump in the night was, SINCE BLC sued me, and created the situations he has created.
Judge Matthews removing my attorney, with NO OTHER means to pay for a new one, that was sweeeeeet. I haven’t lost sleep over that one either.
I cannot imagine feeling intimidated or fearful or scared you-know-whatless.

I have been told that MM drives a cadillac but am not sure of the color. I was thinking last night that if more of the citizens of Walker and Chattooga Counties do not step up to support you then maybe it is time to shut down this website. Below is what you could say in the letter you could send blc and copy, woods, hill, matthews, connelly, and anyone else who have made cowards of the people of chatooga and walker counties.
To Whom it May Concern,
I have decided to close my website as I have finally realized the people of chatooga and walker counties deserve you and the rest of your treasonist friends. I was hoping the citizens of these two counties would join me in the fight to get their judicial system back, but apparently they are satisfied with with corruption and like being controlled as third world communist country control their populations. This letter is not to be constured as me quiting but only for me to move out of the way and hopefully the ones afraid of you will decide to come out of their shells and hold you and your friends accountable.
Good Luck to all of you,
TW
Roomforonemore,
I have a suggestion. I do not refer to these corrupt people as “good ol boys” as there is nothing good about them. I think a better term would be “unpatriotic treasonist”.
We are distressed that our contempt for these low-born individuals has not sufficiently been translated to print. We shall strive to improve in the future.
Dear Room4,
Now that is funny.

babbatte becareful when you threaten mr blc it could bite you on the a$$

Not Red, but another individual has come out, as well. I will be writing a story for Sunday night about he and a “Gun” issue, but Ben Ballenger e-mailed my attorney this morning, demanding that my attorney have me remove SAK’s post from yesterday.
My attorney responded that he does not control this website or me. Ben then impugned Mr. Anderson’s character, as he did several times two weeks ago, in e-mails, over an issue that Anderson has NOTHING to do with, which Ben was attempting to drag him into it.
tw
Isn’t it funny, how redneck, always pops up, when things start getting, to close to home?? Maybe it’s just me, and my own observation. I do find it interesting….lol Next thing you know, TW, will get an offer to back off, under certain stipulations, that she would never allow. Just thinking out loud. Keep hanging in there, TW!

Dear SAK, Your post from yesterday came up this morning!
Ben Ballenger e-mailed my attorney this morning, demanding that my attorney have me remove SAK’s post from yesterday.
My attorney responded that he does not control this website or me. Ben then impugned Mr. Anderson’s character, as he did several times two weeks ago, in e-mail, over an issue that Anderson has NOTHING to do with, and yet Ben was attempting to drag him into it.
I will be writing a story for Sunday night about he and a “Gun” issue, but the long and short of it is that Ben gave me a gun last year, which I have never used, and which has stayed in a locked place for an entire year. After the Remand of the cases back to State Court, Ben started demanding it back, not from me, but kept demanding my attorney get it and return it.
My attorney is my attorney, and my friend, but he is not a go-between in Indian Giver diplomacy.
Ben even went so far to threaten to file criminal charges of Theft by Conversion, after I turned it over to a LE friend, who was going to unload, clean and run a serial number check on it - THEN return it to Ben.
Crazy world.
I actually am beginning to suspect that “Snake” over whose comments I have been sued in this Dennis case, might be Mr. Ballenger. I have compared many of his writings, his style, his favorite choice of words and syntax and all, and given that SNAKE wrote about Judge Kris Cook Connelly AND Jon Dennis, two of his arch enemies….
But that is only an opinion, but I know how Ben gets when he is drunk.
I wish I could legally find out who SNAKE was, but legally, I am not allowed to.

On 2/24/09 SAK posted: “I know, for a fact, he is not looking good, and the booze is starting to take its toll, on spineless Ben.”
I will have to agree that one’s own personal issues relating to alcohol should not be brought into this discussion. It is not for any of us to decide who has an alcohol problem and who does not. There are many more issues we can focus on and bringing ones issues related to alcohol into the picture is not helping our cause. I have learned that alcoholics are not bad people they just do not know how manage their lives. We need to focus on the corrupt ways of all who have done wrong within these judicial systems.
You know what I think? I think the internet is so new to blc and his cronies they are having a hard time with it’s use. Many backwoods white trash cannot understand how the internet can be used. It is amazing that they do not understand they are now being held accountable by this thing called the internet. Most of your politicians hate the internet because the truth can be found with this new way of doing research. To the white trash corrupt people in Northwest Georgia I say: It is 2009! Get used to it!
Sorry, but if someones problems leave them open to manipulation from the unsavory elements in society, it is an issue.
That gun. Hmm. My interest is peaked.
The facebook page SAK mentioned? Which might that be?
Dear Room4,
It was a North American Firearms, Inc., Black Widow, .22.
tw
I’ll stick with my .38. Black Widow .22? Shouldn’t be difficult to trace its provenance and track its ownership. Sounds like Ben is desperate to retrieve the gun? LE should have no problem returning the gun to him if it is clean. It might pose a few problems for him if it isn’t. Imagine how many weapons could have gone missing from the evidence room of the Chattooga SO in past years with all the ransacking the pictures show apparently went on there?
Dear Room4,
I cannot imagine that Ben would use or take a stolen gun. I think it was simply a case of doing whatever he could to show us his ass.
And I agree with you about a .38. I love mine. It is a Model 10, (not made any more), which I got used out at Tom’s Gun Shop on Shorter Avenue.
tw
Room4OneMore,
You make a good point.
Red-
Why don’t you come to NY with Cook and bite my a$$ together, since you idolize him so much. Hell, you just might be related to him. I don’t recall writing any threats, but if I did, have him call the FBI. That way, we can get an investigation started. My ordeal has definitely taken years off of his life. When the FBI started poking around and he ran to Janet Reno for help…trust me, that ticker of his is giving out any day now. It went bad 13 years ago. Dead man walking…bad heart. Too bad. LOL
Dear Bill,
I would also like to know what threats you made, at least which are illegal. I hope they call the FBI, too, and then SA Bob Meadows can come knock your door down when you are in the shower, and arrest you and get a REAL FEDERAL trial going.
I will come cover it.
tw
Have you had the opportunity to read the account of the hearing in Floyd concerning your lawsuit? One item I thought was interesting was the statement that a jury trial may not be necessary. Only the Judges decision. I was sleepy when I read it so I may need to re-read the whole thing. The whole story seemed staged by the participants. Every remark. I thought it sounded well rehearsed. I’m always suspicious of the least little thing.
Dear Room4,
All I can say is I know what is in the Appeal which will be filed on Tuesday. I know what the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and attorney herself, has said about all of the Judge’s rulings since January 16, 2009. Moot, Void, don’t worry about them…etc.
She also told me the two times I called her and got instructions about how to document the file PRIOR to the Brief being filed, was that she told me to trust my attorney, that he knew what my protection was, and that the Judge should know.
But, as for the hearing being rehearsed, we have noticed that about all of these hearings in front of Judge Matthews. He is getting his script directly from BLC, even to the “False and Fraudulent conduct” and the “Scurrilous action” which have been in his court reported soliloquies - and both of those comments are from BLC - two of his favorite accusations of attorneys against him time and time and time again - Comments used in his pleadings and letters.
I am hoping for the best in my situation. It is an angle that I do not think they expected, through a door they opened up by removing my attorney from the case. In all cases, through Ga. Supreme Court ruling after Ga. Supreme Court ruling, when an attorney is barred from the case AND ESPECIALLY when he is barred from even being allowed to file ANYTHING with the Clerk of Court, this is called “criminal contempt” and gives an immediate right of Direct Appeal to the Supreme Court, not just of that issue, but in some cases, ALL issues in the case leading up to that.
It does not mean we will win, but it does mean that EVERYTHING Matthews has ruled on since we filed the Notice of Appeal, is void, and that after the Supreme Court decision, at worst, we will start back at January 16, PRIOR to any of the last five or so rulings of Matthews.
I will post a copy of that Appeal with Brief, and Enumeration of Errors on Wednesday or Thursday of next week. I will not include any of the exhibits, as most of them are already on my site.
tw
TW,
The GA Supreme Court online docket shows that your appeal was transferred to the Court of Appeals yesterday. As per my prior posts, I had concerns about the choice to file with the Supreme Court instead of the Court of Appeals. I was not aware that they would automatically transfer down such cases. That makes me feel a whole lot better that your appeal won’t get dismissed on a technicality. Hang in there and keep up the good fight! I have confidence that our appellate courts will not allow this perversion of our court system to continue.
Dear Samwise,
In the Georgia Supreme Court Rules Handbook, they say that they will transfer if it is filed with the wrong court. They also say that some technicalities will also be overlooked, but others they are very strict about.
However, I think that this may again be situation of clerk making an error.
In all of our case law about attorneys being removed, it went to the Supreme Court, but, they do not have the brief yet, so they are still looking at the only element filed, which is a Motion for Stay.
Now, A Motion for Stay would be best at the Appeals Court, IF it were a stand alone Motion for Stay. But it is not, and that will be clearer to everyone by Tuesday, late.
However, BLC has bragged to a number of people in the last year that he owns a few of the Appeals Court Justices, enough to make difference in a close decision. He has offered the favor of a guaranteed win to a few folks in the last year or so - so that does concern me.
But thanks for the update. We are working at a fever pitch to get everything in, having had to deal with this past week’s orders to be sure the file is documented relative to all of Matthews’ post-Notice of Appeal antics - all under 30 pages.
tw
Dear Sam,
We checked, and you are right. It was transferred over there.
They also said that a Motion to Stay is not necessary, because the Notice of Appeal I filed on January 16 WAS an automatic Supersedeas, and is still in place, and is still protecting me.
But if you had not caught that, while they still would have accepted the brief and all, it is just better to have the RIGHT Court on all those documents. I am glad I did not run print off those hard covers yet.
I forgot to ask, though, if because this is criminal contempt, if we get the 50 pages or still have to stick to 30.
We are preparing for 30, unless we hear differently.
BUT they also told me and told Mr. Anderson, that they will assign a new docket number, and then we have 20 days from THAT docket date to get the appeal brief in.
BTW, we still have NOT seen hide nor hair of BLC’s Motion. You know that he had to “Certify” that it was sent, but NOTHING, after the mail ran today, so Mr. Anderson had me call BLC’s secretary and ask them to fax it, or we would have to file a complaint.
He has filed stuff before without any Notice to us, first with DFG and frequently now with Mr. Anderson.
I do not know if it is intentional, or calculated.
But we are adjusting the Brief, now, to reflect the Court of Appeals, and double checking the formatting rules.
Thanks!
tw
Okay, Samwise - Last update, LOL -
I have posted a story under Breaking News about today’s event, and included an Exhibit of the Cover Page and First page with Jurisdictional Statement, from a case filed by Jon Dennis and Matt Thames to the Supreme Court, which was also transferred to the Court of Appeals. I did this as a friend called to tell me to check out the story on the Summerville News website.
I though that a balance with “The Rest of the Story” was in order.

TW - FDR once said “When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on”.
It is such an ironic disgrace that members of the justice community know of the evil misdeeds of their colleagues, yet choose to turn a blind eye.
I truly believe that you reep what you sow, and I have known many people who got what they deserved, though it may have been years down the road. TW - this is directed toward both BLC and to you. If you can hang in there, justice will surely be served (lets just pray that it is sooner, rather than later).
BTW - I also have an old Model 10 and love mine. Bought it at Bargain Barn, then traced the SN back to a 1948 manufacture date.
Dear LynnP,
That encouragement is so appreciated. We have tied a knot, and are holding on. What else can one do?
When I took my .38 S&W, Model 10 to my Small Arms class, about 18 months ago, my instructor loved it. He was the one who told me all about it.
If any woman out there wants to learn how to sue a gun, clean a gun, feel safe holding and working with a gun, you can sign up for the Rome Police Department’s Small Arms class. The run it several times a year, and are so good with people.
Even though I grew up around guns, lots of guns, I was still shaky every time I held a revolver, or pistol.
They teach you safety FIRST, and the answer to “What is a gun” is:
A GUN is ALWAYS Loaded.
By the time I left the class, I could take it apart and clean it, and put it back together, and hold it without having a nervous breakdown.
Lt. Paul Greene and his posse, Detective Chris Arrington, and Stephanie Stewart, encouraged folks like me who need reading glasses to get used to shooting WITHOUT any glasses, because if an intruder comes in during the night, you are not going to have time to get your glasses on.
For more information, you can call the RPD at 706-236-2399.

tw, and all else on the website, I hate that I am not able to contribute to this website that we need so much. tw knows why. I just hope and pray that she will be able to recoup most of her loses when this is all said and done. I feel that the damage done to tw and my husband has been done by blc and his filing suits against innocent people. We all know that God will get you in the end.
Dear W-LAD,
Perhaps a Class Action suit against Bobby Lee, Rex, Jon Dennis and others?

Look at all these little details that are working out for good! You now get extra time to file your brief due to the transfer to the Court of Appeals, you get a chance to get appellate review of ALL the decisions made by Judge Matthews due to his vindictive removal of your attorney, you are guaranteed a stay of the proceedings at the trial court level despite the opinion of the not-so-honorable Judge Matthews, and a less corruptible crew of judges now get to peruse your case and make a ruling . . . I see Divine Providence at work here, despite the efforts of the Evil One to beat you down at every turn. God is watching over you and this process, so keep the faith!
Dear Samwise,
Thank you so much, so much, so much for this encouragement. You will never know how much your admonitions, suggestions and encouragement have helped.
tw
just picked this up on SumNews website
http://thesummervillenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1866&Itemid=1
Dear Walkslikeaduck,
Yes, I saw that yesterday. As the SN often does, they either do not understand what they have read, or they are intentionally misleading. I did NOT lose the case. It has been transferred. It is as simple as that. Samwise explained it well.
But another good analogy would be if a patient is transferred from one ward to another, it does not mean they have died, it means they have been transferred to a ward or floor which can better treat them.
Funny, how desperate the SN is to see me destroyed. To see all of us fail. To be the only word in town, with no one holding anyone accountable.
How sad.
But, we have not lost or been denied. We have a lot of work ahead of us. We have not won. But we are in. And now, instead of having to file by Tuesday, we have until 20 days after they docket the case.
But what is interesting is that Judge Walter Matthews is being quoted from an interview? I interviewed Judge Bryant Durham one time, not for a news story, but actually to pass on an accusation someone had made about him. As we sat and talked, the subject of the Bendek case came up, which was completed in his court, but which was still in the appeals process. He told me was allowed to talk about it, but NOT to the press. He told me is it was illegal for a Judge to comment on a case to the press while it was still pending.
Has Judge Matthews broken the law, AGAIN?
Plus, I NEVER SPOKE to Judge Matthews about this or anything else this entire case. One time I went to get a Rule Nisi, and he was standing in his clerk’s area, so I stepped out into the hallway, so that he would not be compromised.
How sad.
And what discovery was I not providing?
We answered ALL Discovery, as even David F. Guldenschuh could attest, back last February.
Walter Matthews is lying again. Which is incredible considering we have the copies of the Clerk Stamped in originals.
The discovery was mostly about FBI agents and GBI agents I might know, and what I knew about Branch Connelly’s death, or insurance fraud BLC was involved in, or drugs Kristina Cook Connelly might be involved in - and NOTHING to do with the Dennis case. We answered what we could, and what we had to.
It’s that simple.
And Bobby Lee Cook sent a letter two weeks ago, saying that court had advised him to back off of the discovery, and saying I did not have to attend his scheduled deposition. That letter is posted on the current Feature Story, as Exhibit 27. So, what is Judge Matthews talking about? I hope that there is a good fire extinguisher at his home and office, cause someone needs to put the fire out in his pants
tw
[…] February 3, 2009 - A Perfect, (and Indeed Scurrilous), Storm - Part VII, VIII & IX […]
Does Judge Matthews actually believe that blc is worth destroying his reputation and the confidence people have in him as a judge? It appears that being associated with blc is loosing it’s appeal every day. How much are these corrupt people that think blc hung the moon willing to jeopardize? I have heard from numerous sources that there are very few who have respect for blc and it appears those numbers are increasing.
Dear EBF,
I learned yesterday from a Lyerly Source, that BLC & Rex, et al, simply want me to be arrested so that there is a Mug Shot which they can then post to the internet, so that no matter whatever happens with these cases, that my photo and arrest are FOREVER accessible - with no explanation about the “Rest of the Story?
They are hoping, according to the Lyerly Source, that I will be arrested in time for them to get the photo into tomorrow’s edition of the SN.
I am dressed and waiting…just blue jeans and a turtleneck, but, at least showered and ready to go.
If and when the SO’ Deputies show up, and I show them the Notice of Appeal and Motion to Stay and the letter from the SC docketing the whole case from January 21, 2009, then, if they still arrest me, I will be suing Floyd County for as much money as I can, for false arrest. Most of the SO’s personnel are great guys, (and women), and they are caught between a rock and a hard place.
But there will be no amount of money which will be able to compensate the arrest ordeal, and the photo being posted on the internet. And, of course, I will sue Judge Matthews personally, because when they grossly violate their Oath of Office, judges have no protection. I have done some investigating and Good Old Judge Matthews has some property down on the Golden Coast of Georgia, like Bobby Lee and like former Judge Scoggin.
