Here's to playing fair, Indiana.

I went 1 for 25 in my motions being granted by the court. That is the stat of the day. For the past four days, I have been going through all of my legal files; organizing and condensing. Yesterday I organized all of the orders from the court and I figured out that the court only granted one of my motions in over a year and a half. I got slammed by both the trial and appellate courts for filing many "frivolous" and "baseless" motions. The only motion that was granted was my Motion for a Change of Judge. That was probably due to the fact that Judge Taul was required to do so after violating the Indiana Judicial Code of Conduct by engaging in ex parte communications with custody evaluator, Dr. Edward J. Connor.

So that leaves about twenty-four other filings that Dearborn Circuit Judge James D. Humphrey and the Indiana Appellate Court deemed to be frivolous. I wonder if that gives weight to a civil rights suit. Not only were my motions denied, but the Courts displayed a noticeable amount of animosity towards me for filing them. The Courts even accused me of intentionally delaying the trial because I filed a motion for a change of judge as if it were my fault that Judge Carl H. Taul violated the Indiana Judicial Code of Conduct by having private conversations with Dr. Connor. The only means that I had to respond to the ex parte communication was to address the problem in numerous motions.

The courts accused me of trying to intentionally run up my Ex's legal fees by filing frivolous motions. During the course of the divorce, I filed no contempt charges against her, didn't subpoena her or any of her family, didn't accuse her of being a bad parent, and I didn't attack her character. The only thing that I did was try to get a copy of Dr. Connor's case file from his custody evaluation per the law and Dr. Connor’s contract. They refused to provide me with a copy of the file claiming that they were afraid that I would release her medical/psychological information to the world. Dr. Connor, my Ex, and the Courts have convinced themselves that I am some kind of diabolical and evil villain whose only goal in life is to release my ex-wife's health records. It's rather ridiculous to think that the person that they accuse of not being able to focus and stay on track is the same person who they claim to be the mastermind of a two and a half year plan to misuse someone’s health records. Actually, I just want to know what information Dr. Connor used to come to the conclusion that I couldn't communicate and that my writings were confusing and difficult to follow. Dr. Connor refused to look at my health records when I offered them to him. He said I was entitled to the case file; it's not my problem that he put my Ex's health records in the file.

I find it troubling that the Indiana Appellate Court seems to have some kind of animosity towards Dan Brewington. I know it seems ridiculous to think that the Indiana Appellate Court would go after me for some reason but I can't figure out any other reason why the Appellate Court would fabricate information in their ruling. They claimed that my right to take possession of my parent's farmland was fixed and certain. No it isn't; it can be sold at anytime and there is nothing I can do about it. The Court claimed that my internet writings made it necessary for my Ex to file for protective orders (non-violent) on more than one occasion. Check the record. She filed one motion requesting Judge James D. Humphrey to force me to take down my internet content. There was a hearing and Judge Humphrey denied her motion. Why did they make this stuff up? Either they ruled on erroneous information or their bias prohibited them from accurately absorbing the information. My guess is that they were pissed off about my web site.

On July 26, 2010, I posted a blog regarding the Indiana Appellate Court’s decision in my case. I also made mention of quite a few IP addresses that recently visited my website from the Indianapolis/Indiana area. I wrote that if the appellate court didn't rule on my case using fact and law, then I would be subpoenaing the IP addresses that visited my website. For some reason, quite a few IP addresses suddenly stopped visiting my site on that day. I bet there are a few government officials and media personnel that would like to know who the IP addresses belong to. If the public discovered that the Indiana Appellate Judges were conducting their own investigations while they were on a case, it would fracture the integrity and public trust of the entire Indiana Judicial System which serves as the foundation for the judicial branch of government. It would call into question the integrity of all of the rulings by the Indiana Appellate Court. (On a side note, I do have all of those IP addresses and their history backed up)

So now I have to wait on a Petition for Rehearing. One of the best lines from my lawyer's Petition deals with the Courts' accusations that I tried to intimidate the staff of the trial court. My lawyer wrote:

"Absolutely no evidence or testimony from court staff was ever presented at final or other hearing regarding this finding, and Husband never had any chance to refute such an allegation. One can only surmise that such information was obtained ex parte creating grounds for retrial. See Garrard v. Stone, 624 N.E,2d 68 (Ind. App. 1993) where case was remanded for retrial for Judge’s failure to step down after receiving evidence outside the presence of the parties."

Either Judge Humphrey lied, his staff lied, or both. It doesn't even matter who was telling the truth because it is against the law for a judge to gather information outside of the proceedings. Besides, I didn't do anything harassing or menacing and I have proof. I had a recorder going every time that I stepped foot into the Dearborn County Courthouse just in case something like this would come up. Were they intimidated by me? Probably. Not because they felt that I presented a physical danger to them; they probably felt that I was a legal liability because they knew they were doing something illegal and they figured out that they couldn't bully me into submission.

Now we wait. Let the Indiana Appellate Court ponder if they want to punish my children even more because they hate my children's father. While they are pondering whether to continue to abuse my children, let them ponder what information that I have on the Indiana Court System and what contacts that I have gained. I wonder if they will continue to assume that they can continue to stomp on the rights of the little guy and his fatherless little girls. The scary thing for the Indiana Appellate Court is that no judge on the bench can say for sure that the IP address of the person next to them isn't saved on my external hard drive. It only takes one. If the Indiana Appellate Court chastises me for my internet writings while someone from the court has visited my website, it will be worthy of a Mike Wallace story on 60 Minutes. If anyone reading this thinks that I am attempting to intimidate the Indiana Appellate Court by writing this; I'm not. Why would they be intimidated? They aren't supposed to be here anyway. Here's to playing fair, Indiana.

"Serpico"; and how the good guys are somehow the bad guys

Last night I watched the 1973 film “Serpico” starring Al Pacino. “Serpico is based on a true story about an honest New York police officer, Frank Serpico, who blew the whistle on widespread police corruption. Serpico did not set out to bring down bad cops; the bad cops turned on him when he would not accept bribes and payoffs. Serpico’s actions in standing up to crooked officials in the police department and city government only got him labeled as a “bad cop.” When nobody in the system would do anything about rampant police corruption, Frank went to the newspaper. Shortly after the New York Times published a front page story about the corruption in the New York City Police Department, Serpico was sent to the dangerous ranks of the narcotics unit where he was shot in the face by a drug dealer while his fellow officers did nothing. Luckily Frank Serpico survived the incident and it brought forth sweeping reform to the department. Unfortunately, Serpico was still seen as a traitor amongst other police officers and received little recognition from the New York City Police Department for his bravery.

How can government spiral so far out of control to the point where the “majority rules” mentality kicks in and decides that if the bad guys outnumber the good guys, then the bad guys are right? “Serpico” is somewhat of a metaphor for government corruption on many different levels. I can liken it to my experiences in dealing with the Indiana Court System. One thing I feel that I share with Frank Serpico is a public perception of naivety. If individuals stand up against government corruption and civil rights violations in matters which the majority perceives to be impossible, the individuals are often labeled as being naïve. If the “naïve” individuals start asking too many questions, they are considered to be a threat. If the “threatening” individuals’ persistence begins to attract the ear of the public, then they are deemed dangerous. “Dangerous” is a label that dishonest officials place on people who pose a serious risk to their convenient unethical and/or illegal activity. In three simple steps, the new naïve guy in the system can somehow evolve into a danger to society. Corrupted officials need to label their opponents as being dangerous because it provides a means of justification to take almost any action necessary to eliminate the danger.

“You can’t beat the system.” I’ve heard that many times during the course of my dealings with the Indiana Court System and Dearborn County Law Enforcement. What people fail to understand is that I’m not trying to beat anything. I just want to be able to exercise all of my rights guaranteed to me by the US Constitution and I want those who are in a position to enforce the law to OBEY the laws they swore to protect. I was punished because I questioned the ethics of the Court’s expert, Dr. Edward J Connor. I was punished because I got Judge Carl H Taul to recuse himself because he violated the Indiana Judicial Code of Conduct by communicating with Dr. Connor outside the presence of the parties. I was punished for publicly writing about Dr. Connor and Judge Taul’s unethical/illegal conduct. Then I was punished for being persistent in trying to obtain the evidence against me. When I continued to question the system, I became the subject of a “secret” investigation by the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit. When I began to request public records pertaining to the secret investigation and Judge James D. Humphrey, Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard sent me an email where Mr. Negangard threatened to “make every effort to prosecute” me if I break any laws. Why is the Dearborn County Prosecutor threatening me? Is he threatening me because he believes I am dangerous, or is he threatening me because I am naïve? I guess it depends on what side of good or bad Mr. Negangard falls on.

Frank Serpico left the New York City Police Department after recovering from a gunshot wound to the face. The New York Times did an article on Mr. Serpico earlier this year. Frank Serpico was a victim of the NYPD yet he was viewed as a villain by many in the NYPD. The only thing Mr. Serpico was guilty of was failing to distinguish the difference between the criminals on the street and the criminals on the police force. Frank Serpico’s “inability” to differentiate the “good” criminals from the “bad” criminals prematurely ended his law enforcement career. In the January article by the New York Times, Frank Serpico said, “They took the job I loved most. I just wanted to be a cop and they took it away from me.” In a sense, I feel that I can relate to Mr. Serpico. Why should a person be punished because other people are angry that the person follows the law? I haven’t broken any laws in Indiana yet Indiana treats me as if I am a criminal. Indiana took the job I loved most. I just wanted to be a dad, and Indiana took it away from me.

Re: Unethical Conduct of Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard

Dear Public Officials:

On July 12, 2010, I sent a letter via fax, email, and U.S. mail, to different government officials concerning my public record request, which was denied by Dearborn County (IN) Prosecutor Aaron Negangard. In a letter dated July 6, 2010, I requested copies of the records pertaining to the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit investigation of my internet writings, which began in October of 2009[1]. On or about June 9, 2010[2], my family court lawyer informed me that Judge James D. Humphrey recused himself from my custody case, claiming that there was an investigation pertaining to Judge Humphrey and me. As Judge Humphrey refused to release any details of the alleged investigation and made no mention of the alleged investigation in his order of recusal, I filed my request to determine if there was truly an investigation as it would be vital evidence in a future custody hearing. Mr. Negangard denied my request claiming that Indiana law prohibited the release of Investigatory records. My response dated July 12, 2010, challenged Mr. Negangard’s statements as Indiana Code and Indiana case law has established that all Investigatory records are subject to release at the discretion of the appropriate agency provided that they are not excepted under IC 5-14-3-4(a)[3]. Taking into consideration the suspect nature of the accumulative circumstances, I contacted other county officials to inform them that if Mr. Negangard conducted himself in an unethical and/or illegal manner as the head of the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit, the county may be in jeopardy of losing state and/or federal grants that fund the Unit. At approximately 10:43:36 AM, I emailed my July 12, 2010 response to Mr. Negangard’s denial to several Dearborn/Ohio County officials. At approximately 4:46 PM that same day, Mr. Negangard sent the following email to the same officials and copied me to the email as well (copy of email attached hereto):

To all county officials:
Please be advised that Dan Brewington is currently under investigation by the Dearborn County Sheriff's department. Once he was advised of this by Judge James Humphrey who had to recuse himself from his case only recently he has attacked me or my office. I take this an effort to get me not to do my job of prosecuting those who violate the law. I assure you his efforts will not succeed. If he has violated the law then I will make every effort to prosecute him. However I will point out that this matter is still under investigation and until such time he is convicted he is presumed innocent. He is also incorrect regarding his request. He clearly asked for records pertaining to his investigation that are not to be disclosed under Indiana law. If any of you need any further information regarding this matter. Please do hesitate to contact me.
Aaron

Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

There are many disturbing aspects about Mr. Negangard’s email. The most obvious is the fact that he sent the email from his Verizon Wireless Blackberry which suggests that he may have been too emotionally impatient to wait to get to a computer. Emotion seems to be a driving force in writing this email as Mr. Negangard felt that it was necessary to not only offer a quick response, but to attack me for questioning his interpretation of laws pertaining to the release of public records. Mr. Negangard is correct in stating that I may not be entitled to records relating to pending investigations. I incorrectly assumed that Mr. Negangard’s “secret” investigation of my internet writings would not take over nine months to decide if a crime had been committed. Mr. Negangard’s emotionally charged email attacking me raises several concerns.

1. How could an investigation of a person’s writings span nine months or longer? At the time of the “alleged” investigation, I probably had 30,000 to 40,000 written words on the internet. I informed Detective Kreinhop at the time that all of the written material was on the internet. I instructed Detective Kreinhop to tell Prosecutor Negangard to file charges if he felt that my writings violated any criminal statutes. No charges were ever filed. It wasn’t until Mr. Negangard’s July 12, 2010 email that I had written confirmation that the investigation was still pending.

2. What is the relevance of mentioning Judge James D. Humphrey in Aaron Negangard’s July 12^th email? The fact that Judge Humphrey recused himself from my case raises some very serious issues. A large part of my internet material involves Judge Humphrey and his actions in terminating my parenting time with my three and five year old children. Despite the fact that I cared for the children nearly half of the time during the course of their lives without any allegations of abuse or neglect, Judge Humphrey ripped the children from their father because I publicized the conduct of Judge Humphrey’s expert, Dr. Edward J Connor[4]. In his August 18, 2009 orders, Judge Humphrey wrote, “The Court is most concerned about husband’s irrational behavior and attacks on Dr. Connor.” When Dr. Connor and the Court refused to provide me access to Dr. Connor’s case file from Dr. Connor’s custody evaluation in accordance with Dr. Connor’s contract and IC 31-17-2-12, I began writing about the situation. As my actions were neither criminal nor in violation of any court order, Judge Humphrey terminated my ability to see my three and five year old children in an apparent retaliation for speaking out about Dr. Connor’s unethical conduct. When I continued to speak publically about the situation following Judge Humphrey’s orders, I became the subject of a secret investigation by Aaron Negangard and the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit.

3. Why and how does Judge Humphrey know about the details of the investigation of me when Mr. Negangard claims that I am not privy to the information? Mr. Negangard stated in his email that Judge Humphrey had to recuse himself from my case. How did Judge Humphrey come to the conclusion that presiding over my case conflicted with the investigation of my writings? Did Negangard tell Judge Humphrey? Why is Judge Humphrey entitled to the information while Mr. Negangard claims that there are laws that prohibit him from releasing the information to me? If Negangard claims that it was necessary to interview Humphrey for the investigation, what event prompted the sudden necessity to interview Humphrey approximately nine months after the alleged investigation began? I find it hard to believe that Negangard waited nine months to interview Humphrey when Humphrey had been one of the main topics of my writings. The most pressing issue is the fact that Aaron Negangard apparently discusses the nature of ongoing investigations with, at least, one judge in Dearborn County. How can anyone be guaranteed that they will have a fair trial when Negangard has demonstrated that he shares information with judges regarding secret investigations even before any charges have been filed? It is frightening to even try to speculate about the civil rights atrocities that may have been committed in Dearborn County if this isn’t the first time that Aaron Negangard has had ex parte communications with a judge, regarding an ongoing “secret” investigation, BEFORE the filing of charges and the commencement of a trial.

4. “Once he was advised of this by Judge James Humphrey who had to recuse himself from his case only recently he has attacked me or my office.” –Prosecutor Negangard. In an attempt to decipher Mr. Negangard’s message, which was sent from his Blackberry, I assume Mr. Negangard is suggesting that I took some form of retaliatory measures against Mr. Negangard and/or his office only after Judge Humphrey’s recusal on June 9, 2010. As an elected official, Negangard is well aware of the everyday public scrutiny that comes with the job. As a lawyer, he knows the term “attack” is used in the course of everyday courtroom procedure[5]. Mr. Negangard “attacks” the credibility of witnesses and suspects during the course of his everyday job of trying to prosecute people but somehow suggests that a non-attorney “attacking” his credibility outside the protections of the courts is somehow unfair. I began questioning the conduct of Mr. Negangard and the Special Crimes Unit in November 2009. I have written and posted thousands of words questioning why Aaron Negangard ordered an investigation of my written material, which is void of any criminal misconduct and is protected by the First Amendment. Mr. Negangard is well aware of the legal recourse that he, Dr. Connor, and Judge Humphrey have as they are free to take civil action against me for defamation, slander, libel, etc… if they feel I have unfairly judged them. Rather than take civil action against these alleged “attacks”, Mr. Negangard felt the need to inform the officials of Dearborn County that I am the subject of a perpetual investigation, while Negangard refuses to tell me who made the complaint or any details to the nature of the alleged investigation. I do know that as long as Negangard claims the investigation is still pending, he will not have to release the information in the Investigatory file.

5. “I take this an effort to get me not to do my job of prosecuting those who violate the law. I assure you his efforts will not succeed.” –Prosecutor Aaron Negangard. Need I remind people that Aaron Negangard is a lawyer and the Dearborn County Prosecutor who surely understands the concept of burden of proof in a court of law? Other than me testifying that my intentions in submitting a public records request and questioning Mr. Negangard’s interpretation of law were an attempt to subliminally disable the Prosecutor’s ability to protect the public, Mr. Negangard should have no reason to offer wild speculations as to my “true intentions” of trying obtain information regarding the nature of the ongoing investigation of my writings. Negangard is either delusional or he is trying to instill some sort of fear in the public that I have the ability to undermine the criminal justice system in Dearborn County. Mr. Negangard’s baseless speculation suggests that he is using his position and stature as Dearborn County Prosecutor to somehow diminish the issues that I raised about the secretive nature of the investigation of my writings that criticized Judge Humphrey and Dr. Edward J. Connor. Mr. Negangard’s letter is similar to an ex parte letter that Dr. Edward J. Connor sent to Ripley Circuit Court Judge Carl H. Taul in September 2008. After determining that Dr. Connor was less than truthful in his reasoning as to why he would not provide me with a copy of the case file from his child custody evaluation (go to www.danhelpskids.com for examples of Dr. Connor’s unethical conduct), I sent a letter to Dr. Connor stating, “The game is over Dr. Connor and the Court has ordered that the ‘delivery to counsel representing a party is the same as delivery to the party personally’ so your argument has no factual or legal basis.” Dr. Connor had claimed that he did not have to provide me with a copy of the case file because I was not represented by an attorney. In an apparent attempt of self preservation, Dr. Connor sent an ex parte letter to Judge Taul stating, “[Dan Brewington’s] statement in his letter dated 9/5/08 that ‘the game is over Dr. Connor' appears rather threatening and implies that I and/or the Court do not take this matter seriously, which is certainly not the case.” Judge Taul later recused himself due to the ex parte communications with Dr. Connor. Rather than accept responsibilities for his actions, Dr. Connor tried to portray me as a dangerous and irrational person by “manipulating” the truth. Like Dr. Connor, Aaron Negangard offers wild speculations in an attempt to harm my credibility and to “smokescreen” the obvious intentions of my requests.

6. Please be advised that Dan Brewington is currently under investigation by the Dearborn County Sheriff's department. –Prosecutor Aaron Negangard. It was my understanding the investigation of my internet writings was spearheaded by Prosecutor Aaron Negangard and the Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit. It is also my understanding that the two entities are somewhat separate when it comes to federal funding, public election laws, etc… Now it appears that David Lusby and the Dearborn County Sheriff’s Department is in charge of the investigation only further distributing the potential liabilities for damages in the case that Prosecutor Aaron Negangard and/or some of the people close to the investigation have participated in any form of unethical and/or illegal conduct. If Sheriff Lusby has always headed the investigation, then it calls into question why Detective Kreinhop told me that Aaron Negangard was in charge of the investigation.

7. If he has violated the law then I will make every effort to prosecute him. However I will point out that this matter is still under investigation and until such time he is convicted he is presumed innocent. –Prosecutor Aaron Negangard. Fortunately, Aaron Negangard was gracious enough to remind people that I am innocent until convicted. Unfortunately, he forgot that he is supposed to charge me with a crime before he can speculate about a conviction. Negangard's "McCarthy-istic" paranoia and approach to monitoring my internet writings is not going to turn up any criminal misconduct. If Negangard truly felt that I posed some kind of threat to Dearborn County, why hasn’t he sought any indictments for my “alleged” criminal behavior? If Negangard found that my writings did not violate any laws at the time of the alleged complaint, it would be unethical and/or possibly illegal to conduct an open ended investigation so he can “stalk” the internet in the hopes that he might catch me doing something illegal. It appears that Mr. Negangard has resorted to tactics similar to those of former U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy; if all else fails, accuse your opponent of being a “Commie” and try to convince the public that your opponent presents a real danger to their safety. I obviously am not, nor have I ever been a member of the communist party, and I present no danger to the citizens of Dearborn County. More importantly, I am not an “opponent” of Mr. Negangard, but for some reason he continues to treat me like one. Many people who are close to me are very concerned about Mr. Negangard’s potential to abuse the law to cause me further harm. I recently filed a complaint against Mr. Negangard with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and later submitted a request for the records pertaining to the investigation that Mr. Negangard initiated against me. When I challenged Prosecutor Negangard’s interpretation of the laws governing the release of public records, he lashed out and guaranteed that he “will make every effort to prosecute [me].” Rather than keeping his threats “in house” with Dearborn County officials, he copied me to the email as if it were some kind of a warning shot.

The thing that needs to be established here is that I have never been charged, arrested, or convicted of any violent, threatening, or menacing behavior. I have never been held in contempt of court. I have never been sued for slander, libel, defamation, etc… This alleged investigation isn’t about racketeering, money laundering, drug trafficking, etc… it’s just an attempt to harass someone for exercising their First Amendment Rights. The only thing I am guilty of is challenging a court system to protect my young daughters’ ability to grow up spending equal time with divorced parents. When I began to question the family court system, suddenly people in the “system” tried to portray me as being irrational or dangerous, just as Aaron Negangard has tried to do. If my writings are causing Aaron Negangard severe emotional and psychological trauma, chances are he probably did something wrong. There is no evidence of me being “potentially dangerous” to my children or their mother. It was Dr. Connor who first claimed that I may be “dangerous” when I presented to the Court and to the public that Dr. Connor did not tell the truth in matters involving children and the court system. During the course of a two and a half year divorce, no one accused me of being a bad father. I’ve had lawyers accuse me of intimidating them. Judge Humphrey claimed that I tried to intimidate him and his staff. An appellate lawyer argued that I was not an aggressive litigator but I was just using the system to drive up legal costs. I spent a year and a half trying to obtain evidence that I was entitled to. I requested a copy of Dr. Connor’s custody evaluation case file on March 6, 2008 and I still don’t have it. Dr. Connor’s contract said I was entitled to it. IC 31-17-2-12 says I am entitled to it. Dr. Connor claimed he wouldn’t give it to me because I was not a lawyer. Judge Taul stated that the order to release was for Dr. Connor “to release that which he is required to do under Kentucky law” when obviously there is no such order on record. Judge Taul recused himself for engaging in ex parte communications with Dr. Connor. Judge Humphrey was angered by the fact that I publicized Dr. Connor’s unethical conduct. During the final hearing of my divorce, no one mentioned terminating my parenting time with my children. Two and a half months after the final hearing, during which I cared for my children nearly half of the time as I had done throughout the course of a two and a half year divorce, Judge Humphrey terminated my parenting time with my three and five year old daughters. There are no words to describe the horrific nature of Judge Humphrey’s evil and vindictive decision. I’m sure that Judge Humphrey felt that I would resort to some kind of violent or threatening behavior like most parents probably would if they had their children stripped from them for no reason, just so he could rationalize his decision. Unfortunately for Judge Humphrey, I owed it to my daughters and myself to remain calm and steadfast in dealing with the situation. When I began to exercise my First Amendment Right to free speech, Aaron Negangard began investigating me. Now Negangard is claiming that I am irrational and he is attacking my credibility. I am the same person that Dr. Connor claimed to have difficulties communicating with because I had “severe ADHD” and Dr. Connor testified that he found my writings confusing and difficult to follow. Dr. Connor claimed that joint custody was not an option because of my communication deficiencies that were attributed to ADHD. Now, Aaron Negangard is accusing the ADHD kid, who Dr. Connor claimed to have difficulties with speaking and writing, of trying to undermine the entire Dearborn County Criminal Justice System by intertwining some sort of psychological warfare into my writings. The common denominator in the equation is that these officials continue to grow more enraged with the realization that I am a law abiding citizen that isn’t going to be baited into doing something illegal by disgruntled “professionals” associated with the court system. The irony of the situation is that it appears that these “professionals” continue to do things to try to bait me into resorting to illegal activity, yet they continue to become more enraged when I rise above their antics and publicize their actions. Then they claim that I am the dangerous one.

A person should not have to live life with the understanding that there is the potential that they can be unlawfully arrested for speaking out against the Dearborn County Prosecutor’s Office. Unfortunately, I cannot control the actions of less than scrupulous public officials but I can continue to warn people about the travesties that occur in Dearborn County. Mr. Negangard likes to portray me as a villain for “attacking” him and his office but Mr. Negangard has failed to mention that many of my writings include an open “invitation” to Mr. Negangard to file charges against me if he believes that I have done something wrong. Mr. Negangard has yet to file any charges but continues to “conduct” an open ended investigation in the hopes that I will do something wrong, because if he fails to charge me with anything, he’ll have to answer to the voters and other county officials as to why he continues to waste financial resources on investigating my internet writings. If he closes the investigation, he will probably have to give me access to the Investigatory file. Aaron Negangard knows that my ability to see my children is hindered by the fact that I am unable to demonstrate to the family court why I am being investigated. Aaron Negangard doesn’t care about my children. Neither do Dr. Connor, Judge Taul, and Judge Humphrey. It seems like these people believe that keeping my children fatherless is a small price to pay for keeping the lid on whatever they are trying to conceal from the public. I can guarantee that Mr. Negangard’s shallow threats of prosecution are not going to deter me from speaking publicly about the Dearborn County Court/Justice System.

I invite people to visit www.danhelpskids.com and www.danbrewington.blogspot.com to review letters and court documents that support my statements. Everything I do is well within the boundaries of the law. Unfortunately, Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard actively condemns freedom of speech when it questions government accountability. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. If any government official believes the above conduct to be a “color of law” violation, then I would expect them to contact the appropriate offices of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Very truly yours,



Daniel Brewington

My YouTube Video reaches 3000 Hits

My Dearborn County Police Harassment video reached 3000 hits today. Someone in the Dearborn County hierarchy told these officers to give me some trouble as they were present on the day I was scheduled to listen to court audio. It wasn't long after I inquired about inspecting the public record that they sprung into action and tried to escort me out. Dearborn Circuit Judge James D. Humphrey had to be the one to initiate the the "need" for the officers to be there. I don't how much of a role Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard and Dearborn County Sheriff David Lusby played in ordering the harassment. Prosecutor Negangard had another officer harass me in October and November of 2009, when he had former Special Crimes Unit (and current Dearborn County Sheriff Candidate) Detective Mike Kreinhop do a secret investigation of my internet writings. Detective Kreinhop even drove to a different state to question me despite the fact that my lawyer told Detective Kreinhop that I would not speak with him if they were not willing to explain why I was under investigation. Since the Special Crimes Unit is funded largely in part by federal funding, Prosecutor Negangard felt that he had an endless supply of funds at his disposal to harass/punish me for trying to protect children from abusive officials. These people don't understand that they cannot bait me into doing something that they can arrest me for. I'm not going to let these people bully law abiding citizens in an effort to protect Judge Humphrey and/or child custody evaluator Dr. Edward J Connor. Even after finding out that Dr. Edward J Connor committed interstate mail and wire fraud, Detective Kreinhop and Prosecutor Aaron Negangard failed to do anything about it. Rather than using the federally funded Special Crimes Unit to investigate mail and wire fraud involving Dearborn County Courts, Prosecutor Negangard used the federal stimulus money to harass the person who was trying to expose it. It's pretty sad when Prosecutor Negangard, Judge James D Humphrey, and Dearborn County Sheriff candidate Mike Kreinhop turn their backs on federal crimes because they want to protect Judge Humphrey's expert who abuses families and children. Unfortunately, they found out that they can't bully me into secrecy. I have a responsibility to protect families and children from the people who are trusted to do it. The camera doesn't lie Dearborn County. Judge Humphrey and Dr. Connor do.

Two letters, On Lie

---Before I go any further with this blog post, I want to clarify that these letters are not going to be sent nor shown to my children. My sometimes satirical and hypothetical writings often find their way to court so I want clear up any misunderstanding before anyone would try to use this to as a reason to further deny my children of their father. I am writing these mock letters to demonstrate how the actions of Dr. Edward J Connor, Judge James D. Humphrey, and others will continue to harm my little girls. The first letter to the girls is what the Court probably wants to tell my daughters. The second letter is the truth. The fact that my children have to be given excuses as to why they still can’t see their dad only brings them more harm.---

LETTER #1

Dear Girls,

Daddy is going to be so happy to see you. Daddy worked very hard to be able to see you again. Sometimes these things just happen when moms and dads get divorced. I know I have not been able to see you for a long time but that is about to change. I am going to have to visit you in a place like a doctor’s office for a while but that is just what happens sometimes. You may not be able to spend the night at my house for a long time but I still love you. Soon you will be able to see Grandma Sue and everyone else. We just have to wait until all of the visits in the doctor’s office go okay. The whole family loves you very much and cannot wait to see you. I am sorry that I have not been able to see you. Sometimes it is better not to ask why I did not come to see you and be a part of your lives. We should just concentrate on the fact that I get to see you a little bit and hopefully we will be able to go fishing, camping, hiking, and playing like we used to do before you could not see me. Like I said, sometimes parents just have to go away after divorce. I love you.

Love,

Daddy

LETTER #2

Dear Girls,

Daddy is going to be so happy to see you. Daddy is working very hard to be able to see you again. Sometimes when moms and dads get divorced, there are people who make mistakes and bad decisions. There are people who think they know what is best for kids, but they do not really know. Sometimes these people make mistakes and get mad if people ask them about their mistakes. If you accidentally broke your sister’s toy, you would say you are sorry because it’s the right thing to do. You would not be mean to your sister because she would already be upset that her toy was broken. The people who were in charge of doing what is best for you made a mistake. When daddy told them that they made a mistake, they got mad. They did not say they were sorry for making mistakes; they got mad at daddy for pointing out their mistakes. Sometimes when people get mad, they do not think right. They thought Daddy was not a good parent because Daddy told them, “You guys made a mistake”. If you broke your sister’s toy, you would not say “You are a bad sister”, you would say, “I’m sorry I broke your toy.” Unfortunately, these people sometimes blame their mistakes on other people. They thought that taking Daddy away for a long time would be best for you girls. Obviously that was not the right decision, but Daddy is doing everything he can to fix it. Daddy will be careful not to make the people mad again so they do not get confused. We do not want them to think that I am not a good dad because they are mad at me for telling them that they made a mistake. That does not have anything to do with how much I love you guys and how much fun we have together.

It has been a long time since I have seen you and I love you very much. When I first get to see you, we will have to see each other in a doctor’s office because they forgot how much we love each other and how much fun we had together. It is like a test to see if we can still have fun together. That sounds like a fun and easy test to me! You will be happy to know that I have been working very hard to see you and I have been working very hard to help other kids and their parents spend time together. There are a lot of people who thank Daddy for helping them but they should be thanking you. You two are the most special things in my life and you have given me the strength and courage to help protect a kid’s ability to grow up with their mommies and daddies. Without my little angels, I would not have been able to help other kids and parents. You two are very special girls. I love you and I can’t wait to take our test together.

Love,

Daddy

Prior to the August 18, 2009 final decree in my divorce, there had been no mention of terminating my parenting time so I was unable to defend myself. Why would I think that my parenting time was at risk? In my ex-wife’s response to my appeal, she did not even make an argument against the termination of my parenting time because it is indefensible. Dr. Connor did not mention anything about terminating my parenting time. People say that it isn’t fair for children to know about the conflict in a divorce. What’s even more unfair is allowing children to believe that a parent did not love them or did something wrong to prevent the parent from being with their children. I did my part, I was a good father. Dr. Connor was the one who claimed his child custody evaluation report contained “numerous errors and oversights.” Judge James D. Humphrey punished me for asking “why?” Now they probably expect me to take responsibility for not being able to be with my daughters. If my ex-wife cannot make an argument to the appellate court that Judge Humphrey’s decision to terminate my parenting time is justified, why should I take responsibility for Judge Humphrey’s actions? The longer they lie to my daughters only increases the chance of long term emotional damage. I’m sorry but I’m not going to lie to my children. For more information go to www.danhelpskids.com.

Dear Family Court Professionals, If you lie, I'm going to write about it.

It’s amazing what lengths people will go to in an effort to win. Why would a lawyer lie in a brief to the appellate court? That is what my ex-wife’s appellate lawyer, Leanna Weissmann, did. Maybe it was necessary given that there really isn’t a logical explanation for ripping a father away from two little girls.

Before I get started, I would like to tell any judge presiding over my case that they should refrain from reading this even though Leanna Weissmann snuck in some ex parte evidence regarding a new website and invited the appellate judges to review the new internet postings in my ex-wife’s brief to the Indiana Court of Appeals. Ms. Weissmann wrote, “Husband continues to post about the court system which now include references to this appeal. As of April 23, 2010, he maintained several sites with derogatory comments about many of the people involved in his case including Judge Humphrey. See e.g. http://Husbandhelpskids.com/index.html; http://Husbandbrewington.blogspot.com/. I am not aware why Ms. Weissmann felt compelled to refer to a website that wasn’t created until 6 months after the final hearing in my divorce but I am sure that she is aware of the appellate rules that forbid the court to review new, ex parte evidence. And I don’t know why she mentioned Judge Humphrey. My statements about Judge Humphrey have nothing to do with the appeal, other than it being just a cheap shot to tattle on me for talking about Judge Humphrey in an effort to gain favoritism with other judges. I felt compelled to write about my ex-wife’s appellee brief in the case that an Appellate Judge would take Leanna Weissmann’s illegal advice and check out the websites and new evidence for themselves. Since my lawyer follows the rules and is unable to offer new evidence, I’m just putting the information on my blog and website to explain why I am fighting for my daughters and how my attorney and I do not resort to dishonest measures that can damage children’s relationships with their parents.

The best place to start is probably near the end of the Appellee’s (my ex-wife’s) brief. Rather than just make a case for her client, Leanna Weissmann strikes out to speculate what my defense against their accusations might be. She wrote, “While husband will likely defend his behavior as aggressive litigating on behalf of his kids, a quick review of the Record should convince this Court otherwise.” This has been the whole song and dance from the very beginning. For some reason, none of these legal professionals seem to grasp that I am only doing this for my children. What I find rather ironic, is the appellate lawyer for my ex-wife is starting the debate of whether or not I am an aggressive litigator. That’s rather flattering considering that Leanna Weissmann wrote that one of the reasons Judge Humphrey justified his decision to terminate my parenting time was “Husband has Attention Deficit Disorder affecting his ability to concentrate.” Given that there are no facts that demonstrate that I am a danger to my children, they tattled on me for questioning judges and made things up.

Leanna Weissmann wrote, “Husband blogged and continued to post confidential information on the web after being ordered not to.” On April 29, 2009, Judge Humphrey held a hearing on my ex-wife’s motion requesting the Court force me to take down my internet content. On May 14, 2009, the orders from the Court were filed DENYING her motion. Ms. Weissmann made the above statement claiming it was justification for the Court ordering “Supervised Visitation.” Just for the record, Judge Humphrey did not order supervised visitation; he ordered NO VISITATION. Ms. Weissmann made up the supervised visitation order because the no visitation order was indefensible. Judge Humphrey only ordered me to take down my internet postings if I wanted UNsupervised visitation. In the final decree Judge Humphrey stated,

“Because of the potential danger to the children, Husband must remove all postings created by him from the internet concerning the children before any UNSUPERVISED visitation may commence and/or continue.”

Ms. Weissmann must have been a little confused about the situation which is understandable. Judge Humphrey’s order states that my web postings are only dangerous if I have UNsupervised visitation and not supervised visitation. I guess Judge Humphrey was concerned that if left unsupervised, I would allow my, now four and six year old, children to go to my website and read my internet postings. That would be a miraculous feat considering my oldest was just learning to read nine months ago.

Another false statement made by Leanna Weissmann was “Husband’s behavior in the courtroom required the presence of a police officer.” The officer was in the courtroom because it was his job. Judge Humphrey was angry with me because I kept questioning why I was not allowed to have Dr. Edward J. Connor’s evaluation case file when the law stated I was entitled to it. Judge Humphrey asked the officer to stand behind me. Actually it was an act of intimidation. If Judge Humphrey used a police officer to stand behind me to keep me from arguing for the rights of my children and me, then that’s an act of intimidation. If I was out of line, Judge Humphrey should have held me in contempt. Instead, he placed the threat of police action behind me for the three day proceeding.

Ms. Weissmann rambled on and on about my numerous pleadings and how I kept trying to obtain my ex-wife’s medical records from Dr. Connor. This is the spin they have put on the release of the case file since I requested it over two years ago. My ex-wife’s legal fees were not due to my numerous pleadings and attempts to get the case file; they were a result of her and Dr. Connor not honoring the agreement that we both signed at the beginning of the custody evaluation. She consented to the release of the case file at the beginning and then successfully fought to not release it. Now their argument is that the court did not release it because the court was afraid that I would post confidential information on the internet. I had requested the file over a year before they submitted any of my web material to court. I first requested Dr. Connor’s case file on March 6, 2008. I did not post anything on the internet until mid-September of 2008. I created a website to tell people about Dr. Connor’s false/conflicting statements. My first blog post came on February 25, 2009; nearly a year after I requested Dr. Connor’s case file. If my ex-wife and Dr. Connor would have honored their part of the bargain and released the file, she wouldn’t have accumulated a high amount of legal fees. The irony in the situation is if Dr. Connor would have released the case file to me per the agreement that my ex-wife and I both signed, my website and this blog would never have existed.

Another thing Ms. Weissmann wrote about was how I inconvenienced Judge Carl H. Taul. Leanna wrote, “Husband then attempted to subpoena Judge Taul to testify, requiring Judge Taul to hire counsel to quash the subpoena.” I am not aware if Judge Taul had to reimburse Deputy Attorney General, Betsy Isenberg, for her legal services because it was never mentioned in court. I do not know why Leanna Weissmann is privy to this new information. What I do know is Judge Taul and Dr. Connor communicated outside the presence of the parties, which is against the rules. In a letter dated February 25, 2008, Dr. Connor stated,

“With this letter please be advised that Hon. Judge Carl Taul contacted me on 2/22/08 to convey his agreement for the review of the above-captioned case.”

If you assume Judge Taul follows the laws, then you have to assume that Dr. Connor is lying because it would be illegal for Judge Taul to contact Dr. Connor and make arrangements for the parties without the parties’ input or knowledge. Since Judge Taul recused himself after participating in ex parte communications with Dr. Connor, the only way to find out if Dr. Connor was telling the truth was to subpoena Judge Taul. Rather than hold Dr. Connor and Judge Taul accountable for doing something illegal, the professionals in the system got mad at me for following the rules in trying to deal with the situation. Ms. Weissmann even tattled on me for picketing my former lawyer’s office. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I’m going to post more information on www.danhelpskids.com about the situation to expand on some of the ridiculous arguments they made as an argument to keep me away from the children. Some examples include:

-“Husband’s attacks on Dr. Connor revealed by Dr. Connor’s testimony that Husband posted Dr. Connor was involved in a three-way sex triangle with his office manager.” My ex-wife knows Dr. Connor lied about the statement because she submitted my blog to court that contained my actual comments. [Check out the following link to see how they distorted the truth http://danbrewington.blogspot.com/2009/03/to-all-of-people-who-thought-my-story.html. The blog post is about Dr. Connor’s former office manager that pled guilty, after an FBI investigation, to making $126,558 worth of unauthorized purchases with Dr. Connor’s credit card. Just another reason to question the accuracy of Dr. Connor’s records.]

-“Husband allowed the children to watch age inappropriate movies, claiming Disney movies were more detrimental to the children than “Austin Powers.” That’s what you get for making an argument that Shrek and Austin Powers both have crude humor involving flatulents and kicks to the family jewels.

-“Husband has Attention Deficit Disorder affecting his ability to concentrate.” You heard that correct. My ex-wife is arguing that people with attention deficit disorder should have supervised visitation with their children.

-“Husband’s psychometric test results reveal a degree of psychological disturbance.” Dr. Connor graded the tests and then would not give me all the information behind his conclusions.

Here’s a memo to the people in the system who continue to cry about my web postings, “Stop doing illegal and/or unethical things to keep me from my children.” I’m getting tired of lawyers and judges whining about me trying to intimidate them. Last time I checked, they were lawyers and judges. I was going to refrain from posting anything about the specifics of the briefs that were filed with the appellate court, but since Leanna Weissmann provided the appellate court with ex parte evidence and encouraged the court to do their own investigation, I felt compelled to address the matter directly. Maybe if people understand that they will be held publically accountable for their actions, they would conduct themselves in a more professional manner.

Anonymous' day on the blog

The following is an assortment of comments from someone named Anonymous. Anonymous keeps leaving comments because they are mad because I censor my the comments on my blog. They are mad that I write about Dr. Connor not telling the truth in reports and in testimony. Let me assure to everyone that I have an attorney trying to get me back with my children. None of this would have happened if my ex-wife wouldn't have made the argument that I was an unfit parent. I have decided to use this particular blog post to allow Anonymous their time in the spotlight and to let people to see what a classless person Anonymous is. I just hope Anonymous is not my ex-wife or a member of her family. Note to Anonymous, go to the Facebook group "Help Dan Brewington see his girls" and you will find that it has 500 members and is growing. People from around the world are joining to show their support. People from Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand are joining. Anonymous, who do you have to stand up for Dr. Edward J Connor and the court's ability to eliminate parents from their children's lives? Keep rationalizing child abuse Anonymous.

Coward? Are you not a coward? Afraid to let an opinion or comment other than your own be shown? Mr. Free speech? Ha. Keep censoring your site Dan... Why would ANYONE want to post with their name? Obviously, if someone 's opinion doesn't match yours, they risk being stalked on the internet and having you devote your life to their demise. Get a job. That might be a good first step towards getting time with your kids... and if you were SOOO wanting to see then, why wouldn't you do WHATEVER the court ordered to have ANY amount of time possible with them? YOU are a freak show! Post THIS Dan - I dare you!!

Danny,
I love you. I love you a LOT!
I wish you'd pay more attention to me and stop obsessing over Ed. He doesn;t want you. GET OVER IT!

I love you so much and you just can;t let go of Ed!

Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed.... That's all I ever hear in bed. Ed, Ed, Ed..

If you won't listen at home, please listen on here!

Dan,

Man, you must really be in love with this Conner guy. What's with the constant enshrinement of this guy? You gay?

Dan, on your facebook page you said you just got a package from your girls - they still love you. Of course they do! Wasn't great of your x to help them get that package ready and mail it for them - I mean they are pretty young and could not have done it without help. Right?

Dear God, are you there? It's me, Dan

Dear God,

I know it's been a long time since we chatted. Since you see all, I assume you read my blog and website daily and I thank you for it. I'm sure you know that I am a less than regular church goer but you probably have seen that I have a heart of gold and I always try to do my best to help other people in this world. With that being said, I do not feel that I am owed anything for doing my part as a responsible human being, I am just looking for some insight if you have the time.

As you know, I haven't seen my little girls for over six months. I try to do my best. For the most part I stay very positive and I work vigilantly to get back into my daughters' lives. I know you work in mysterious ways and there is probably a good explanation for all of this. Maybe you believe that I am the right fit for the role I have been forced into. I'm not violent, I'm kind to others, I have a good heart and capable brain, and I don't lose my cool. Actually I feel I have an obligation to use my abilities to help some of those that weren't blessed with the tools to weather the storm. I don't want you to use anymore resources on me because I feel I am rich in mind and spirit. I am asking you to spread light on other people so they have the power to see how their actions negatively affect the lives of so many.

Could you please bless Dearborn County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard with the courage necessary to rise up and do what is right even though it may not be the easy thing to do? I understand that it is sometimes difficult to do the right thing and take a stand against friends or peers who have lost their way, but it is not fair to let people suffer because you are afraid to take a stand.

Could you please replace some of Judge James D Humphrey's power with strength? Power is a very dangerous thing and it has led to the demise of men and civilizations. With power comes fear because there will always be the fear of falling from power. Strength gives us the ability to deal with our fears and it helps us become stronger and braver people. Sometimes people get lost in power. I think Judge Humphrey lost his way. Rather than having the vision and insight to do what is best for children, he became lost because he was blinded by power.

You may have to put in some overtime on Dr. Edward J Connor. I know that sounds a little presumptuous but I really don't have any insight to any single positive quality of the man. He claims that I intimidate him. As you know from reading my web material, (and everything else you observe from above) I have not done anything but question why someone would sacrifice the well being of man for a profit. I've seen the anger in Dr. Connor's eyes and it is frightening. I am neither intimidated nor scared of Dr. Ed Connor's anger or wrath because I have been given the tools to stand up to such a thing. My concern is for all of those who were not blessed with a calm demeanor and the resources necessary to stand against terror. If Dr. Connor is a lost soul, please give those around him the vision and insight to understand that the futures of families should not be placed in the hands of Dr. Edward J Connor.

Could you send a memo to Archbishop Schnurr of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati? I understand that family conflicts are a touchy situation for school systems. I fear Ms. Mary Henninger and some other officials in the school system have lost their way with the truth. John 4:24 states, "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." While at my daughter's parent/teacher conference, her teacher said my daughter prayed for her daddy because she did not see him. Please don't let my daughter's religious education be in vain. Prayer without truth diminishes the sacredness of prayer itself. Asking an innocent child to pray for strength because she cannot see her father, while you hinder her father's ability to be a part of her life, only weakens the lessons taught by the school and church. Rather than address the problem or contact people who help children, the school is watching my daughter pray for a father that she cannot see, when help may be just a phone call away. I've found some of the most obvious answers are the hardest to see. Can you pass that along?

I want to thank you for your time in listening to me. I understand I have a duty to be a good father and to help others who can't help themselves and I will always be diligent in working to do so. If you get a second from your busy schedule, any help would be greatly appreciated. If you don't, I understand. There are many travesties in this world that need your attention. I'll keep working to fix this one. Feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Dan Brewington
