Listen to a Prosecutor Admit a Defendant Didn't Deserve Being Charged and Admit his Client is Likely a Child Molester.

Wagoner Cty D.A. Jack Thorpe

Imagine dating a girl, living with her, going into business with her step father, finding out he was embezzling from the partnership, then being railroaded on false gun charges to prevent you from fighting back.' 

 Search this blog spot for the key words James Hanning to read more about this seven year long persecution of a decent young man.

Young Tyler Paulsen caught Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning sending materials purchased from Lowes to his personal house for a remodel, demands to see the books and the operating agreement of the partnership, and Commissioner Hanning conspires with Wagoner County Prosecutors office to railroad Tyler on fake gun charges. 

 

Tyler had a run in with the law, the original prosecutor Eric Jordan is the man on this audio tape that is representing Commissioner Hanning in the civil embezzlement/settlement case and Jordan was also the prosecutor on the original felony case where Tyler was framed by his ex. Drugged one night, waking up outside on the deck of his house while SWAT stormed his home. Jordan admits the evidence was weak and the witness Vanessa unreliable, so he cuts a plea deal for Tyler and Tyler accepts on the condition that his gun rights are not affected. A deferred judgement, Tyler pays off the supervisor fees to the D.A. office and they tell him not to bother coming back, he is done.

 

 Hanning finds out about a speeding/driving with an expired license ticket, one that Tyler had already paid the fine and the case was closed, but Hanning got his buddies in two County Prosecutors offices to re open the case and charge Tyler three times with being a felon in possession. During all of this the original judge revisited the case and found he had no jurisdiction so he dismissed the original case declaring the case void ab initio, void from the beginning, as never having existed because the charges were out of his jurisdiction. Two of the felon in possession were dismissed in Wagoner County under Judge Shook but the Mayes County charges continued despite the case the felony was predicated upon being void! They forced Tyler into a plea deal, he had custody of his daughter and couldn't risk going to trial. Oklahoma prosecutors, officers of the court and state officials, and County officials conspire to strip this young man of his assets and his freedom. 

 

The recorded phone call was released after Tyler's attorney realized that his client was being railroaded and couldn't be helped by the court system. In deposition in May of this year, Wagoner County D.A. Jack Thorpe and Creek County lead prosecutor Eric Jordan refused to admit what was said on this tape despite having a transcript of the tape in evidence. In the end Tyler is about to lose about 1.5 million dollars of property after a seven year court battle fighting Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning and the various corrupt District Attorneys. 

 

A receiver appointed to preserve the assets of the partnership has eaten up most of the rent deposits the past seven years and ran up a $350,000 bill according to the phone call that was taped. This money has to be paid out when the properties are sold at sheriff auction for pennies on the dollar, leaving Tyler with none of the over half million in cash that he invested years ago.

 

 This is a two hour long audio tape but the first hour is the most important and then starting around 1hour 33 minutes into the audio you get to the part where this sitting Prosecutor states that his client is very likely to be a child molester. But Eric Jordan the prosecutor learns this at a deposition, blindsided by the stepdaughter who was being deposed because she worked for her step dad, with the molestation accusations starting since she was in grade school. The funniest part, in a case about abuse of public office and using the power of the prosecutor against others the prosecutors offers to fix the ticket of the other attorney. Not sure if this was intentional on his part but it shows that there are two systems of justice in America.

Commissioner James Hanning remains in office and while admitting he had put his hands down the panties of a 12 year old girl he remains uncharged.  If this outrages you, phone calls to the AG office are in order.    405-521-3921   Here is his Facebook account 

 

Jack Thorpe Wagoner Cty D.A.

Attorney General Office Fighting Tooth and Nail to Protect Accused Child Molester

Yes, we are back after several years and refreshed and ready to expose corruption throughout the state. 

Jack Thorpe  Wagoner Cty D.A.

Why did we stop for a bit?   A deal had been struck to get John Bennett elected as GOP Chairman between STP and some of the major players in the tall building crowd.  This started back with Constitutional Carry which regular readers will remember was considered a down payment by the tall building crowd.  John Bennett turned out to be a horrible Chairman and a horrible person once in power, complete with accusations of falsifying his military record.  STP sued to take him down and that started a multi year lawsuit that still continues.

But our first story in the newsletter is an update on an old story, the Tyler Paulsen persecution out of Wagoner County.  Right now Commissioner James Hanning and several others are being sued for abuse of authority basically and the most concerning part is the AG office fighting tooth and nail to protect an accused child molester that they have refused to prosecute.  I get it, bodies will be dug up when you take down one of the powerful corrupt public officials.   But refusing to clean house just spatters all public officials especially those that are refusing to do their duty or protecting the corrupt.

 

Why would a representative of the Attorney Generals office attempt to prevent the truth from coming out in a corruption civil case where one of the defendants is a public official and has had credible accusations of child molestation against him? If the alleged acts of the defendants were not part of their official duties, why would the AG office even get involved? Below is a cleaned up version of most of a transcript, with line numbers removed to make it more readable, and the cross exam at the end was omitted again for readability and discussion purposes. We will gladly provide the entire transcript in its original form to anyone that requests it.

A Drunk, A Child Molester, and a Crooked District Attorney Walk into a Deposition Room

Sounds like the start of an off color joke, right? But like a truly tasteless hilarious joke that is funny only because it is so close to being true, in this case a drunk, a child molester, and a crooked D.A. did walk into a deposition room and despite their best efforts the truth came out and people throughout the state ought to be horrified and all three ought to be in prison for the rest of their life.

What we will learn in reading this deposition and the next story on Eric Jordan's deposition is that tax payer money paid a sitting Assistant D.A., in charge of Creek County, working under Wagoner County D.A. Jack Thorpe, to protect an accused child molester/County Commissioner James Hanning with Eric Jordan never charging the Commissioner a single cent, while all parties involved were trying to railroad an innocent man on fake gun charges to prevent him from defending his property in the lawsuit aimed at stealing his property and giving it to County Commissioner James Hanning who had been caught embezzling from the partnership.

Stolen Gun Planted as Evidence in Mayes County Gun Possession Case?

We have written about the Tyler Paulsen case for several years now. Now the case has taken an interesting turn with an allegedly stolen gun winding up in the custody of the Adair Police Department, a Mayes County town, but the gun initially wasn't an issue in the traffic stop for speeding and suspended license until months after the initial traffic stop/arrest/

The saga started off simple enough, a mentally unstable person named Vannessa Edwards calls the Broken Arrow police on her boyfriend who is passed out after a argument. We can say she is unstable because the man that eventually prosecuted the case later said she was crazy and if he had to spend ten minutes with her they would have to call a SWAT team on him too. But her view appears to be to get her boyfriend out of his home so she could clean out the place as she left and to ensure custody of their child.

Monster Inc: Mayes County Branch Attempts to Railroad Man to Protect County Commissioner

 

Mayes County D.A. And Judge Burying Evidence in Felony Case

Monster Inc Opens a Branch in Mayes County

The latest in the Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning Sexual Molestation case is troubling. First Commissioner Hanning appears to have filed a motion to seal the record in a felony case where he isn't even a party to, neither defendant nor plaintiff, but he is a witness so that would be his reason to seal the case.

By now everyone is painfully aware of the case and the vast corruption that emanated out of Wagoner County. It started with a 2016 domestic violence case that even the original prosecutor said should have never been filed, a case that was not only over turned, it was voided by a Wagoner County judge.

Now void in the law has a very specific meaning. It means never existed. Not expunged. Not dismissed. It never existed at all. Once that is decided anything connected to the void case is rewound. Any money taken as fines or fees is returned. Any issues that came about due to the illegal or unconstitutional or non jurisdictional case is also void.

Yet a judge in Mayes County is not only continuing a felony prosecution that came about over a deferred prosecution decision in the original case, she is also allowing massive amounts of conclusive evidence to be stripped from the defense. We are talking about witness impeaching testimony and depositions, where the officers involved changed their stories in material ways. Even the fact that the original case was completely voided months ago and that the original prosecutor was caught on tape saying that the original charges were bogus and that the “victim” in the case was so crazy that they would have to call the SWAT team on him if he had to spend any time with her.

Commissioner Hanning filed a motion to seal the case at some point, the filing is not showing up on OSCN records but we do find a hearing ordered on February 2^nd of 2021 on the matter. Hanning is probably desperate to stop another case being public record where the allegations of sexual molestation of his step daughter are filed as evidence and his alleged embezzlement and vendetta against Tyler Paulsen is presented. The felony case started off with a traffic stop in a small town in Mayes County which was quickly adjudicated by the city court system, ending with a plea of guilty and the payment of the fines and fees by the defendant in cash that very same day. Paulsen headed to DHS the next day it was open, renewed his license that had lapsed by three or four days, and he went back and retrieved his vehicle.

Then Commissioner James Hanning of neighboring Wagoner County heard about the traffic stop. Commissioner Hanning went to the small town, informed the court clerk that Paulsen wasn't allowed to possess the handgun that had been in the car when the car was impounded for the driver having a drivers license that was expired by a couple of days, leading the city court to dismiss the entire case AFTER it had been adjudicated. Why dismiss a case after it had been adjudicated and the fines and fees paid? So that Mayes County could file felony charges based upon the fiction that Paulsen was under DOC supervision and wasn't allowed to possess a gun.

Now none of this gun rights issue was in the original supervision filings in the 2016 case. Paulsen agreed to the plea because his gun rights were left intact. If there was another law or if the law had changed neither Paulsen nor the original prosecutor Wagoner County ADA Eric Jordan were aware of it.

Commissioner Hanning almost certainly colluded with Mayes County prosecutor ADA Tom Sawyer and D.A. Mathew Ballard to file the felony charges in an effort to accelerate the original 2016 plea deal and put Paulsen in prison where he cannot defend himself and continue the lawsuit against Commissioner James Hanning to recover the money and property that was embezzled.

These fraudulent charges were filled in April of 2018, nearly three years ago. On December 2^nd of 2020 Paulsen's attorney filed a motion for dismissal quoting solid case history and law telling the judge that no criminal charge can flow from a voided case where there was never court jurisdiction. Mayes County D.A. Countered with their own motion, which had no serious or valid case law, and Paulsen filed back listing even more reasons why the case should be dismissed and objected to Mayes County D.A. attempting to quash evidence that would prove that there was cronyism involved in filing the charges and ample motivation for Commissioner Hanning to have Paulsen framed and railroaded.

Mayes County D.A. Mathew Ballard is attempting to have the following exculpatory evidence precluded from the criminal trail:

Emails from and to the Adair Police Department that proved that the Adair police officers changed their version of how they learned that Paulsen wasn't supposed to have a weapon in his possession and how his police report and his testimony at the preliminary hearing had changed radically. And how the Wagoner County D.A. Office faxed a six page fax without a cover sheet or acknowledgment in an attempt to disguise who was sending the fax. The fact that Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning traveled to Adair and falsely told the court clerk that Paulsen wasn't supposed to have a weapon would also be suppressed.

The fact that the original 2016 case and the Wagoner County motion to accelerate have been dismissed and declared void.

The fact of litigation between Paulsen and the Wagoner County D.A. over embezzlement of property and money.

The Sooner Tea Party articles talking about the taped conversation between the original prosecutor in the Wagoner County 2016 charges admitting that the Mayes County charges were retaliation and cronyism. This is where Eric Jordan admitted that the original charges in 2016 were bogus and politically motivated and how cronyism was responsible for the Mayes County charges being filed.

If all of this evidence is precluded from the trial Paulsen goes in with the deck stacked against justice. What is a slam dunk case of cronyism leading to retaliation and the forces of the state criminal justice system used to interfere in a civil embezzlement case because the defendant happens to be a County Commissioner is turned into a rail road job on an innocent man.

To understand criminal convictions you first go to the Uniform Jury Instructions and learn what elements of the case must be met before a conviction is allowed to occur. In OS 21-1283 which is the jury instructions for conviction of possession of a weapon after a felony conviction or while under probation one of the elements is the knowledge that a weapon is nearby. The law requires mens rea, or a guilty mind, meaning the defendant has to know there is a gun in his vicinity. By the same token he has to know that he isn't supposed to have a gun. After a felony conviction the defendant gets a set of instructions that tells him about the loss of gun rights; Paulsen never had his gun rights restricted so the D.A. never included that restriction on Paulsen's paperwork. In fact, there never was a conviction, it was a deferred conviction which never happened.

To understand what knowingly and willingly mean we have to go to OUJI-CR-6-16. Knowingly means being aware of the existence of facts that cause the act or omission to be criminal. You do not have to know the exact law that makes an act a criminal act but you do have to know it is a criminal act. Willingly means purposefully. So you would have to know what you are doing is criminal and do it on purpose.

Another element that must be proven is that there was a felony conviction which is impossible at this point as there never was a conviction as it was a deferred conviction, never happened, could have happened in the future, then voiding the entire 2016 case meant there is no longer anything left. Void, gone forever, never was there to begin with kind of void.

Void legally means having zero legal effect, ab initio which is Latin for “from their inception” which means they cannot have ever created legal consequences. An example would be a fine on a voided contract, if the contract was void there could never be a fine for non compliance with the contract. There is a voidable contract or right, where the court determines that a contract is void as of a certain date set by the court, usually at the decision.

And how can we be certain of this? Because the court order voiding the 2016 conviction not only said the conviction was ab initio, it said that the deferred sentence and probation/supervision order was ab initio. That is void from the filing of the 2016 criminal case, not from the order voiding the case in 2020.

Mathew Ballard wants to argue that the Wagoner County Judge over stepped his power but were that the case Ballard would be appealing the ruling, which of course is impossible as he lacks standing in the case.

One has to wonder what Commissioner James Hanning has on D.A. Mathew Ballard that he is trying so hard and breaking the law and committing an injustice to railroad this young man.

Another interesting thing about this case. At the hearing on the motions to dismiss the judge went beyond what the filings argued and quoted four cases that she claimed held her to not dismissing the felony possession gun charge. That is unusual in district court hearing, this isn't an appeal where the judges might spend months digging around case law, nearly all judges are going to read the filings and rule based upon what both sides give them.

The judge also confused herself on the difference between a voidable conviction and a conviction ab initio. She belabored the point that Paulsen could have filed for post conviction relief and had his conviction over turned back when it happened but waiting till after he was charged as a felon in possession of a weapon was too late. This goes back to the very nature of the 2016 case; there was no jurisdiction, the court had zero power to take the case, therefore everything that came after was not just voidable, it was void from the very beginning. An example is a case where a minor has signed a contract. Doesn't matter when the minor or former minor objects, what matters is that the law states that no minor can be held responsible to a contract. This is not a case where ineffective counsel caused a conviction or didn't give the defendant a fighting chance; it is a case that never had a legal basis to be heard due to a lack of jurisdiction.
