"Challenge 5: Indictment Vol. I."

As we declared our independence from the dictatorial rule of England we did it because natures God entitled us to. America the ideal is the hope of humanity, an example to the world’s eye, an experiment to find a just world, a more perfect union.

We need to live respectfully but this is not the rule of law today. We take it upon ourselves to punish one another in the name of justice, yet we live unjust lives.

Our constitution was a dream set. It is a high ideal rising from the hearts of common men. Talking and practicing are two different things.

In the start of this indictment I told how I wanted to be good and try to understand the bad.

At age 53, in this world, I am not content. My rights and privileges have been violated throughout my lifetime and I feel it is time for me to expose these injustices so I can establish my civil rights. The Internet has given me a forum to act as a testimony to the triumph of truth over deception.

My introductory challenges to the courts dealt with our right of freedom of speech and our right to life. Along with the initial challenges I defended our right to freely enterprise.

Those causes were filed within the framework of today’s judicial protocol and they were not respected.

Next I would defend creature rights. We share this planet with the lower animal forms. We have been given dominion over them. To dominate does not mean to use cruelty to rule. This case was presented in a public forum and did not receive backing from we the people. I can point injustices out and I can recognize the truth but I cannot establish justice alone.

The final challenge of this series was done in defense against dictatorial abuse of power. A sewer project forced on the general public was against their will. Again, the public, even though their life, liberty, and property were threatened, would not stand for justice. We are allowed in freedom to do whatever we want unless the action brings harm to others.

Whether acknowledged or not, America the concept, is the gateway to heaven. On earth as it is in heaven is our initial quest, for we are searching for a peaceful world.

Our leadership is supposed to set the highest ideal. The leaders are like parents in the family. When the parent does not respect the rules of conduct, why would the children?

All our documents leading to the formation of this nation declares us God orientated. Natures God, mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, allowed us to break with a tyrant. Gods will or the law of chance allowed us to prevail.

The preamble to our constitution can only be obtained through compassionate peaceful living.

In order to secure this ideal it was necessary to establish a "Bill of Rights".

Between the constitution and the "Bill of Rights", I have stood my position. It is more powerful than the corruption that abounds today.

The constitution guarantees judges their judgeship while under good behavior. They are entitled to their positions while promoting the ideals of America through practice.

I am entitled, under Amendment VI of the Bill of Rights, to face my accusers for or against me in a court of my peers. A "judge" is just a public servant. It is not their courtroom in which they rule, rather ours. If one unjustly finds me in contempt of court, they then became my accuser or witness against me. If I contest their unreasonable behavior they cannot sit as an impartial judge.

By our constitution I have challenged our mass social deception and by my experience, those sworn to uphold, don’t. This elevates me to a position superior to theirs.

We the people establish justice. This is my calling and my will and it is backed by my God given conscience plus the rule of law, guaranteed by our constitution.

To further indict our society the United States Congress, consisting of men and women, sworn to serve our ideals, vindicates this evil, immoral behavior.

To love peace and harmony we must live within the framework of consideration and considering how they obstructed a just solution to these abuses of power only indicts them for their crimes against humanity.

It was not just a simple affair. It was a deception to his family, his friends and his society at large. This perversion and permission was an attack on our value structure. To this point we have allowed it to prevail. By what is just, he should have been relieved of his duties.

All of us realize how it is. The sin is we are allowing our destruction.

How does this affect our nation? I live in the Akron-Canton area of Ohio. As we have dictators and abusers of the public trust on top, we have it here in Akron.

The mayor of Akron is a dictator prone to protect criminals of the state.

The police chief of Akron was involved in a long-term scandal over the abuse of his wife. On numerous occasions the evidence collaborated this assumption. The chief was allowed to hide behind the power of his position. If anyone of us common citizens would have had the complaints and accusations accumulated that he did, we would be arrested and thrown in jail awaiting trial to prove our innocence.

This man denied and lied and ran from the responsibility to society to face his poor leadership behavior. He was allowed to retire at the cost to all for doing a poor job for himself and all that depended on him. No matter how we lie about his behavior the eminent rule of God will punish the misconduct. His grandson, his future, could neither learn respect nor guidance from his hypocritical rule. His grandson, who is the son of a police officer, robbed a gas station.

This occurred not long after the grandfather was unjustly vindicated. Why would the grandson respect the rules of conduct when those around abuse the truth? They defile their own children.

In the County of Summit the judicial system is plagued by the rule of hypocrites who say they love the rule of law but unjustly abuse it to meet their own ends. Volume 1 of this indictment lays out the fundamentals of what is plaguing our nations spiritual well being. Our lawmakers abuse our ideals to justify rules that are out of sync with our value structure; this leads to an ungodly existence. Judges lacking the courage to protest these abuses to our ideas enforce unjust rules that break down the respect for law and order. This leads to social unrest and eventually to social chaos. Unless we the people take it upon ourselves to alter or reform our wayward society, the greatest ideas on earth will be desecrated. Greed and selfish interest cannot stand. The pain created by this unfairness is immeasurable.

Today two men are deadlocked over the leadership role of presiding over our nation. Neither of these have the vision to lead us out of our trap if they are not part of the solution they are part of the problem.

As I had stated in the beginning of this indictment, the only person honest enough to govern this reform is Jimmy Carter. He would not run for office, but I am sure he would serve if called upon.

Over the years, I would face many challenges to our corruption throughout Stark and Summit County, dealing with a vast array of social issues. In general the network of social functions that affect us collectively. With each issue I would use the truth to triumph. These issues will be dealt with in future publications.

Within this last year the Akron Summit County area has evidenced massive exposure to public corruption.

The county executives office was plagued by scandal and he walked away from his corruption by not running again. This does not excuse his mishandling of public office. The sheriff would be defected in an election. A man who used his position for his own advantage allowed his sons special privilege. When confronted, he said he did not hire or know of the special situation because it was under someone elses department but he was the leader and that is no excuse to vindicate abuse of his position. He is their father and they are his sons. The one just barely passed the police exam, and the other couldn’t; yet they prospered under his rule.

In the welfare system there was a massive embezzlement of funds. The institutionalizing of the perpetrator would eventually occur. His imprisonment is in a minimum security facility that the public refers to as a country club jail. This man was worse than a street thug for his ungodly behavior because he acted in the name of the public good. His hypocrisy against humanity is far worse than the struggling individual ignorantly allowing materialism to overpower his spirit in the name of survival. All these players are mass together in a bird of a feather deception against America. They excuse and cover each other’s lies.

We also had a vice operation in the Akron area called Centec. The police partied with escort girls. They illegally confiscated property and money. Sex and money was indiscriminately used for corrupt reasons.

Jack Porter, the main vice cop in this matter, would lose his position over his abuse of power. He sings lead with a small group at a local lounge. People I know go there. They know he has been pulled over several times by police for drinking. This is a probation violation, yet he would be let go each time. They said the night he got off probation he called the mayor to come join him for some fun. Of course the mayor would distance himself from his old crony. He would hang up on Jack. Jack flaunts his special position. These are the things that cause the general populous to lose faith in fairness.

In the Centec case, our old acquaintance, Jane Bond, would preside as judge. Jane would bend and twist to excuse massive corruption by this police operation. At one point on television, she would read a letter from a man who said if it came out that he was on the escort list, it could ruin his family life. Jane, who was totally unsympathetic to the struggling masses plight over a sewer project, was willing to suppress the people’s first amendment rights to freedom of speech and voicing their grievances. She is now willing to help a man in his deception to his family. Jane’s values are really confused. She lacks good judgment. I believe this was all about distancing themselves from their own corruption.

Jane has just been re-elected as a judge. People see a name on a sign or hear an endorsement by a prejudice press or hears a name enough, they vote for superficialities.

The sin is our lack of attention to the true nature of our candidates.

In the end a special prosecutor would come in and dismiss all the wrong doings of the police corruption to deflect attention.

A murder was committed in the Akron area. A young female was killed. Her dead body was placed in the trunk of her car and driven away from the crime scene.

Neighbors in this very populated area called about a deserted car. It was even ticketed. Finally the missing girl and her car were tied together after a week. Two young men would be arrested in connection with her death. One would be put on trial and the other would be dismissed from any involvement in this trial. I know the freed defendant in this case. I have watched him develop over a period of years into what he is today. I understand his morals and his value structure.

I have used Akron Beacon Journal articles in this Internet trial as evidence.

February 19, 2000, the following article was in the local press.

ABJ Feb. 19, 2000

Charges have been dropped against one of two men charged with the murder of 18-year-old Hannah Hill last year.

Summit County Prosecutor Michael Callahan’s office this week dismissed charges of murder, rape, kidnapping and abuse of a corpse against Ronald E. Hupp, 19, of Springfield Township.

"Evidence and information was obtained leading us to believe that this was the best thing to do at this time," Callahan said in a statement.

According to the statement, the charges against Hupp were dismissed "in the interest of justice." Callahan said he would not explain further because of the pending case against co-defendant Denny Ross.

Hupp proclaimed his innocence in a letter he wrote last fall from the Summit County Jail to Common Please Court Judge Jane Bond. "I know there is nothing I can say to make you believe me, but I had nothing to do with it," Hupp wrote in the Oct. 13 letter.

Hupp wrote that his wife, Kim O’Harrow, lied when she told police he was involved in Hill’s death.

"Please, could you let me take a polygraph or something?" Hupp asked in his letter.

Hupp was released from jail Thursday. He was charged Aug.30 and was scheduled to go to trial Wednesday.

Ross, 20, of Springfield Township, remains in jail. He is charged with aggravated murder, rape, kidnapping and tampering with evidence.

Hill was choked to death and her body was found in the trunk of her car May 26 in the Ellet area of Akron.

The Akron woman was found eight days after her family reported her missing.

Hupp said in his letter: I come from a good-hearted family and it is hurting me mentally that I have been labeled in the news and through the community."

At the time he was charged, Hupp was already in jail.

He had been there since late June after he was arrested in connection with a February 1999 burglary in Springfield.

Hupp posted a $200 bond on the burglary charge this week.

Ross also was charged in that incident.

A hearing on a motion to suppress evidence in the murder case against Ross is set for April 6.

2. What did Ronny Hupp have to do with Ross and this murder?

(Hupps wife, who he married after the murder, is no longer around, she is a key witness.)

3. Where is she and why wasn’t she been called on this case?

I have known Ronny Hupps family for years. They are not as good hearted as he proclaims. They tend to dump their mistakes on others.

Through the family I heard Ronny said he did not kill Hanna, but came in on Ross, who he said had raped and killed her. He said he just helped get rid of the body. How many of us would come in on a person who murdered someone and help them get rid of a corpse? Why in the name of justice on his word, with out a polygraph, was he left out of this case. Somehow or other he is involved in this murder so in the interest of justice we need to know what his true involvement was.

Ronny has led a tortured existence. He was not properly guided or cared for as a child. He was actually extremely abused. I care about Ronny, but from what I heard I have reason to believe he is involved in this matter.

I am not God, so only him and the perpetrators of this murder know for sure what happened that night.

The other defendant, Denny Ross would be put on trial for Hanna Hills death. The "judge" assigned to this case would be Jane Bond. I know many people, young and old. Parents and children who know of bits and pieces around this circumstance. I believe eventually the truth of this matter will surface.

A trail would be held and this would be the outcome:

ABJ, Sunday, October 29, 2000

Jurors had already voted to acquit Denny Ross of aggravated murder yesterday when- to at least one jurors surprise- a mistrial was declared.

As it stands, Ross will likely face a second trial, despite the jury’s vote. Defense lawyer last night said they plan to file a motion with Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Jane Bond arguing that the verdicts are valid.

A female juror, who asked not to be identified, said in a telephone interview last night that the panel had voted Ross not guilty of both aggravated murder and the lesser charge of murder when, unbeknownst to them, the jury foreman went to Bond with concerns of misconduct

A male juror, the panel’s foreman said in a note to Bond, vacillated on his votes with the hopes of ending the debate so he could attend to personal business.

More damaging to the trial’s future was that the same juror spoke of Ross’ guilt and pointed to information he obtained about a polygraph test reportedly passed by Brad Oborn, the man Ross’ defense team claimed had more motive to kill 18-year-old Hannah Hill.

Oborn was Hill’s boyfriend at the time of her killing and defense lawyers painted him as abusive, possessive and jealous.

Defense lawyers Michael Pancer and David Z. Chesnoff, unaware of the jury’s vote to acquit, told Bond they were willing to have male juror excused and allow the panel to continue the deliberations with an alternate, but only if she would declare a mistrial in the event Ross was convicted.

Bond balked at the defense teams idea, halted the trial and ordered the lawyers back in court tomorrow to set a new trial date, probably sometime after January 1^st.

The female juror said last night that she was surprised when Bond walked into the jury room and announced that the trial was over.

"The jury was not tainted, " she said. "When the judge came in to tell us she declared a mistrial, probably three or four of us were absolutely shocked. Most of us were extremely angry because the foreman took it upon himself to go to the judge. We had no idea what he was doing."

Ross, 21, wept in the arms of his father, Allen Ross, after Bond declared the trial was over with no resolution. Unaware of the vote, Ross was returned to Summit County Jail, where he has spent about 520 days.

Hannah Hill’s parents, Elza and Kimberly, quietly left the court house, themselves obviously distraught over the prospect of another trial recounting the May 1999 strangulation death of their only daughter. The couple declined comment.

"I hope there’s not another retrial, " Allen Ross said last night after learning of the jury’s vote and how close his son came to escaping the charges.

"Every person who sat in that trial said the prosecution had proved nothing. I’m very upset, but I got to hug my boy for the first time in 17 months and nobody’s taking that away from me."

The female juror, who was the only member available to and willing to speak, said the verdict forms for aggravated murder and murder reading "not guilty" had been signed by all 12 members. The panel was considering an involuntary manslaughter charge when the trial stopped.

She said none of the prosecution evidence was sufficient to convict Ross since jury instructions called for aggravated murder to occur during the course of a rape.

"We were having a really difficult time connecting the evidence," she said. "Everyone assumed that he raped and killed her, but the proof that they had didn’t necessarily prove that.

"Whether or not he did was a whole other matter. It was very, very difficult to disassociate the evidence was not there."

It all ended at 2 p.m. yesterday after jurors had spent about 11 hours deliberating Ross’ fate. Only the 12 jurors inside knew of their two decisions.

"He has all too quickly changed his vote to go along with the group," jury foreman Thomas Orwig Jr. wrote in a note to Bond about the male juror. "This morning, the juror stated to me that we need to finish this today because he was leaving after today because he has a problem at home.

"To another juror, he said he knew Brad Oborn was innocent because he passed his polygraph test and so Denny Ross had to be guilty."

The foreman asked that the unidentified juror in question be removed and that he deliberations continue with one of the two remaining alternatives.

In response to a question by Bond, Ross also said he wanted the jury to continue.

However, Assistant County Prosecutors John Greven and Brian LoPrinzi, unaware of the jury’s vote, told Bond the panel should be dismissed in order to give Ross "a fair trial."

It is unclear where the juror learned of Oborn’s polygraph test. It was not presented as evidence during Ross’ two-week trial, but it was mentioned in an Akron Beacon Journal story about the trial Oct. 19.

Jurors were repeatedly ordered by Bond not to read or watch or listen to trial coverage from the media.

The trial was fraught with problems from the onset.

During jury selection, it was learned that several prospective jurors seated in a waiting room at Inventure Place discussed the case, watched a news broadcast on it and had openly talked about newspaper stories concerning the opening of the trial.

Jury selection took about three weeks.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Ross met Hill the night she disappeared. Police said Ross admitted Hill left his Canton Road apartment about 1 a.m. May 20, 1999. Ross told police they "kissed and stuff," but he denied they had sex. Hill was not seen again.

She was found in the trunk of her car six days later. Later that night, police searched Ross’ apartment and found a plastic trash bag containing Hill’s clothes outside his window. His semen was detected on her underwear.

A forensic dentist testified that a bite mark found on Hill’s arm could have been caused by Ross. But the evidence was not conclusive.

A Goodyear Corp. chemist also testified that residue found around Hill’s lips was identical to the materials of a plastic cast worn by Ross at the time of the woman’s death.

Defense lawyers put into question several issues, including whether the residue on Hill’s face was cement and whether the bruise on Hill’s arm was really a bite mark.

Pancer and Chesnoff pounded to the jury their belief in Ross’ innocence and that prosecutors failed to prove even the smallest of details such as where Hill was killed.

"The evidence showed that the bag was outside his window. The evidence didn’t show that he put it there," the juror said.

As far as the juror convincing himself of Ross’ guilt, he did not know all the facts surrounding the crime. His evaluation was developed from his belief that the boyfriend was the only other plausible suspect. We now see that another prime participant was excluded from the facts surrounding the case.

The female juror also mentioned that the police did an incomplete evaluation of the crime scene, to the point of negligence.

Why would Ross get rid of the body and then leave incriminating evidence below his window for six days?

The same powder from the cast is the same powder makeup’s use, according to the female juror. These statements are only circumstantial hearsay but they add to the reasonable doubt.

ABJ November 11, 2000

Attorneys filed a motion this week asking that the verdict forms that found Denny Ross not guilty of murder and rape charges be allowed to stand.

The jury signed the forms before Judge Jane Bond declared a mistrial in the case. At the time of the mistrial, no one - except the 12 jurors – knew the verdict forms had been signed.

The attorneys also accuse Bond of being biased against Ross and ask her to remove herself from the case.

These were two of five motions filed late Thursday afternoon in Summit County Common Pleas Court by Ross’ attorneys. The motions were filed in response to the mistrial declared Oct. 28 by Bond that brought Ross’ capital murder trial to a grinding halt.

One of Ross’ attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff, of Las Vegas, called the case a "grave injustice, one which shocks every lay or legal person who hears about it."

"If the prosecutor and the judge were really concerned about having a fair proceeding, they’d let him go," Chesnoff said.

After the mistrial was declared, defense attorneys and prosecutors learned that the jury had unanimously found Ross not guilty of aggravated murder, murder and rape. Jurors were deliberating an involuntary manslaughter charge when they sent a note to Bond. Alerting her of possible juror misconduct.

The judge then declared a mistrial and set a new trial date for the Springfield Township man on Jan.9. Ross is being held in the Summit County Jail.

Summit County Prosecutor Michael Callahan, who said he thinks Bond was correct in declaring a mistrial, said there is "absolutely no way" the jury’s verdict forms can be considered valid.

But Ross’ attorneys are expected to do whatever they can to prevent their client from going on trial again for the May 1999 strangulation death of 18-year-old Hannah Hill of Akron.

Hill’s body was found in the trunk of her car in Akron’s Ellet area a week after she disappeared. A bag of her belongings was found a mile away, two stories below Ross’ living room window.

Callahan could not be reached for comment last night.

Bond declared a mistrial after jurors brought it to her attention that a juror had mentioned that Hill’s boyfriend- whom defense attorneys tried to portray as the killer- had passed a polygraph test. No such evidence had been presented during the trial.

The foreman also told Bond that the same juror voted with the majority in an effort to wrap up deliberations so he could go home and take care of family business. Because Ross faced the death penalty, the jury was sequestered and had spent the two previous nights in a hotel.

Ross’ attorneys claim the jury’s verdict forms were properly filled out and signed by all 12 members of the panel. They argue that the verdicts should have read in open court before a mistrial was declared and claim that should now be done.

"Because none of the parties were aware that the unanimous verdicts had been returned until after the jury had dispersed, counsel could not request that the court accepts the verdicts," the attorneys argue in their motion.

The attorneys are also asking that a hearing be held on that motion.

Ross’ lawyers claim Bond should remove herself from the case because she exhibited bias during his trial and may herself be called as a witness during future court proceedings.

"Basically, we’re asking someone who is not an interested party, and who has not shown prejudice, to free Mr. Ross because he was found not guilty and we believe he is being illegally held, " Chesnoff said.

As an example of Bond’s bias, Ross’ attorney point to a conversation they claim the judge had with a female juror after declaring the mistrial. The juror the attorneys say asked whether Ross was going to be to freed. The attorneys claim Bond told the juror not to be concerned about Ross because she excluded evidence from the trial that implicated him in Hill’s death.

Because prosecutors missed a deadline for admitting evidence, Bond did exclude DNA evidence before the trial that showed drops of Ross’ blood on Hill’s pants, which were found in a bag with her other belongings below Ross’ window.

"Clearly, Judge Bond believes Ross is guilty of aggravated murder and will not let the jury’s verdicts on the contrary alter her judgment," the defense wrote. "She is determined to try Ross again in order to ensure his conviction and possible sentence of death. No clearer bias could have been established."

If the verdict forms are not allowed to stand, attorneys are claiming that Ross should not be retried because that would constitute double jeopardy. In case the argument doesn’t pass muster, they are then requesting that their client be acquitted of all charges, claiming that the prosecution has failed to prove its case.

Attorneys also are asking that Ross’ $2 million cash bond be reduced. Lastly, they want to add a sixth attorney to Ross’ team- Max Kravatz of Columbus.

Another high dollar professional and my Internet indictment will help topple this treachery and deceit. Jane, as witnessed before, abuses her position.

ABJ Nov. 23, 2000

Attorneys for Denny Ross have decided against waiting to see if Judge Jane Bond will recuse herself from his capital murder case.

They filed an affidavit with the Ohio Supreme Court this week asking that the court remove Bond from the case.

"We gave her an opportunity to recuse herself and she took no action," said Michael Pancer, one of Ross’ attorneys. "We did not file this until she refused to do it."

Chief Justice Thomas Moyer is expected to decide the issue within two weeks.

In the meantime, Bond will be prohibited from ruling on any of the motions pending in the case – including the request that she recuse herself.

Ross’ attorneys allege that Bond is biased against Ross and, therefore, claim a new Summit County Common Pleas Court judge should be appointed to replace her.

Ross is accused of the May 1999 strangulation of 18-year-old Hannah Hill of Akron.

Hill’s body was found in the trunk of her car in Akron’s Ellet area a week after she disappeared. A bag of her belongings were found a mile away, two stories below Ross’ living room window.

Bond declared a mistrial in Ross’ case October 28 after jurors had begun deliberations. When she learned of possible juror misconduct, she scheduled a new trial for January 9^th.

After the mistrial was declared and the jurors had been let go, defense attorneys and prosecutors learned that the jurors had unanimously found Ross not guilty of aggravated murder, murder and rape .

Jurors were deliberating an involuntary manslaughter charge when Bond received a note from a juror alerting her of possible juror misconduct.

Attorneys claim Bond should have told them about the verdict forms before the mistrial was declared. They also take issue with a one on one discussion she had with the jurors after halting the trial.

Finally, they say Bond should not remain on the case because she may be called as a witness in future court proceeding.

"She is a witness to many of the issues we have raised in the motions we filed and she cannot also be the judge ruling on those motions, " Pancer said.

"She has also demonstrated some degree of bias."

Summit County Prosecutor Michael Callahan could not be reached for comment yesterday. Bond did not return a call seeking comment.

Ross’ attorneys filed motions with Bond earlier this month asking the judge to remove herself from the case, seeking to have the verdict forms stand in claiming that Ross cannot be retried because it would be double jeopardy.

They also filed motions asking that the case be thrown out for a lack of evidence and that Ross be granted a bail reduction.

I have a list of indictable judges within the Summit County court system. How do you find a good pickle in a rotten pickle barrel?

I will soon be in Akron protesting the specifics of this case and the general corruption at large.
