My criminal trial began on Monday, October 3, 2011 and wrapped up on Thursday, October 6, 2011. The jury of six returned five “guilty” verdicts and one “not guilty.” The “guilty” verdicts are as follows: Intimidation of a Judge (James Humphrey), Class D felony; Intimidation of Dr. Edward J. Connor and Heidi Humphrey, both Class A misdemeanors; Obstruction of Justice and Perjury both Class D Felonies. The most important event of the trial came during the prosecution’s closing argument, when Dearborn County Prosecutor F. Aaron Negangard explained to the jury the exact boundaries of free speech.
“You can call a judge a son-of-a-bitch but you cannot call him a child abuser.” That was the jury instruction from Prosecutor Negangard; honest to God. Prosecutor Negangard, in his greatness has summed up in one sentence, what the United States Supreme Court has debated since the days of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Prosecutor Negangard also informed the members of the jury that it was a criminal offense to lie about people like Judge Humphrey. As I am sure Prosecutor Negangard would never break the law by publicly lying about someone, I can draw from Negangard’s infinite wisdom and conclude that Judge James D. Humphrey is a son-of-a-bitch.
I was convicted of felony intimidation because I called that son-of-a bitch Humphrey a child abuser. Another reason for my guilty verdict was due to the fact that I instructed people to address concerns about the Dearborn County family court system to the Indiana Supreme Court Ethics and Professionalism advisor that was located in Dearborn County. I looked up the advisor’s address on the Dearborn County Tax Assessor’s website to determine where to have people send comments and/or concerns. When I looked up the address, I found one listing for Heidi Humphrey. The owners listed were James D. Humphrey and Heidi Humphrey. I was found guilty of lying to a grand jury because I stated that I did not know that Heidi was the wife of the son-of-a-bitch James Humphrey but it could be a possibility. The son-of-a-bitch is also the judge in Ohio County, Indiana so he could reside in that county as well. There is a Humphrey funeral home in Rising Sun (Ohio County) so I knew the Humphrey name existed there but I’m not aware if those Humphreys are related to the son-of-a-bitch Humphrey. Negangard accused me of lying about not knowing that Heidi Humphrey was married to the son-of-a-bitch, but I did not know for sure. When my father was alive there were two listings for Daniel P. Brewington in the Cincinnati phone book. For all I knew, Heidi could have been the son-of-a-bitch’s mother or daughter-in-law. Did I think it was possible that Heidi was the wife of that son-of-a-bitch Humphrey? Of course, and I testified to that before the grand jury. If I would have testified that I was aware that Heidi Humphrey was married to the son-of-a-bitch James D. Humphrey, it would have been a lie because I knew very little about Dearborn County and its politicians and citizens and I had never seen the son-of-a-bitch’s marriage certificate. But unfortunately I was convicted of lying about not being aware that Heidi was married to that son-of-a-bitch.
There was much more that went on but I have to check with my attorneys to determine what I am allowed to write about. There is not a lot of room for trial and error when it comes to protected speech in Dearborn County, Indiana. I feel fortunate that Prosecutor F. Aaron Negangard clarified that people were not allowed to lie in public speech and that Judge James D. Humphrey is a son-of-a-bitch.
F. Aaron Negangard clarified that people were not allowed to lie in public speech and that Judge James D. Humphrey is a son-of-a-Bitch. I have a better understanding of the wording I am permitted to use in my writings during the course of my appeal.
Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support and prayers and rest assured that I do not plan to stop fighting for free speech until the public has the ability to call any public official a son-of-a-Bitch. Keep supporting the First Amendment!!!

This situation is so sad Dan. How does ANY of this ranting help kids, especially yours? It seems that it moe imporantto you that you be able to spew venom regarding those that you disagree with, then for you to be able to see your precious girls. I totally agree that they need to see and be a part of your life. Taking what was said, and infering that it is OK to call the judge a "son of a bitch" doesn't help you, your girls, or anyone's free speech in any manner. PLEASE retink your strategy and do something that HELPS. Enough time has been wasted and money has been spent. I am sure that your girls would love to see you. I am signing this Anonmous because I certainly do want to express my opinion, I don't, however, want to become a "player" in all of this drama.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous.... Dan is doing something to HELP him see his girls. Perhaps you didn't read or comprehend this entire situation. That "son of a bitch" judge and entire court system have manipulated the laws they swore to uphold. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Just because they can contort the law doesn't make it right. Of course he's mad. They used their power to improperly ,and in my opinion, illegally strip Dan of his God given rights to his children. Now they have diverted the focus on Dans ability to make public their improprieties. Perhaps you know of a better way to expose a corrupt legal system. I don't see you willing to take on a GIANT. Hell, you can't even muster up the courage to write your name on a public blog. .......... Situations don't make men. They reveal them.
ReplyDeleteRich,
ReplyDeleteSadly, you, like Dan, have to make things personal when someone disgrees with what you believe.
Dan, just a quick question, Is there a direct relationship between Bryan Barrett and Maynard Barrett? Maynard seems to be on some counsel with DC county.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the "non player anon", please encourage him to continue to comment. I see his slant as probably the the most honest look inside the injustice system which you unfortunately seem to have caught with itspants down.
It would be hard to believe that any of the parents who's kids were victimized by a similar justice system in PA, would have had the candid insight as provided by your non-player-anon. The value of such commentary is that is exposes just how inhumane, corrupt, self serving and self protected such an organisation really is and what it expects citizens to accept and bow to.
Dan, I think what we have here is a county/state failure of ethics, code of conduct and unchecked tyranny. When the messanger tells the emporor he has no clothes, and the emperor imprisons him while the rest of the loyal subject view the naked emperor and say nothing, it really poses a probelm. You must seek the assistance from those outside the kindom to have the issue addressed. Like hopefully federal court. It would seem that the %99ers would not have a probelm telling the empoeror that he is a naked fool.
Dan, thaks for sharing your journey, do not stop, ever! And keep the limp noodle non-player-anon, in play. For he is the baraometer of just how disgustingly accepted the attempted destruction of the U.S. Constitution is and plannedon.
Stay well Dan Brewington, there are vulgarities which you must help us all address.
Anonymous,
ReplyDeletePerhaps you don't remember personally attacking/criticizing Dans methods of combating this process. And now your criticizing me, saying I'm sad for disagreeing with your summarization of Dans attempt to win back his rights. Obviously you are the target audience for the diversion away from the FACTS of this case that have been presented in a court of law. Dans efforts to win back his girls arent focused here in this social media blog. Its merely a spot to vent his frustrations and keep friends informed. You're pathetic!
I HAVE HAD THE MOST TRAUMATIZING EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH HUMPHREY OVER IN OHIO COUNTY. HE TERMINATED MY RIGHTS TWO YEARS AGO AND IM STILL TRYING TO OUT HIM FOR HIS SHENANIGANS. I JUST NEED HELP. MAYBE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO EXPOSE HIM AND HIS FLUNKIES. PLEASE SIR I AM SURE TOGETHER OUR STORIES COULD BRING TO LIGHT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA FACEBOOK OR AT kellysaldivar@live.com. i would love to hear more of your story.
