I am writing this for 2 main reasons:
|
|
|
|
1) You will all find out about it by the end of the month anyway, one way or
|
|
another, so its better you hear the real story, from the original source.
|
|
|
|
2) It's about time I told this story.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is a true story, following the events that took place starting
|
|
in May of 1991.
|
|
|
|
For 4 years, I had been friends with two people, Dennis R. Haines (who was
|
|
known on BBSs at the time as 'Action Jackson' and John A. Fransckiewich.
|
|
(who was not on BBSs.) We had become good friends, and often hang out and
|
|
the like. Around March, 1991, I became friends with a guy named Michael
|
|
D. Cohen through a BBS. (He was known as 'The Wanderer') I started hanging
|
|
out with him, and, in turn, John and Dennis did too. We often had sleep
|
|
overs at my house on weekends. Since I had a job, I couldn't always hang
|
|
out so Mike became better friends with John and Dennis than with me. They
|
|
started playing tricks on me or members of my family that weren't always
|
|
funny. In fact, some of them were plain destructive. On May 13, 1991, Mike
|
|
told me that my mother was making sexual advances torward him, John, and
|
|
Dennis. I, of course, did not believe him. What had actually happened was
|
|
that he had made a pass at my mother and was told to leave. It seems over the
|
|
months he had developed quite a crush on her. He refused to leave and stood
|
|
on my front lawn yelling threats and curses and challenging my father to come
|
|
out and fight him. Of course, my father could do no such thing, being Mike was
|
|
only 16 at the time and my father was 47. My mother called the police and Mike
|
|
was taken away in a patrol car. I later found out that Mike had been spreading
|
|
roumers about certain sexual acts that he had performed with my mother. (I
|
|
won't go into details.) We thought that was the end of it and we would never
|
|
see or hear from Mike again. Unfortunatly, this was not the case. Four days
|
|
later, my parents were arrested and taken to jail. My mothers charges were
|
|
2 counts of sexual assault, 3 counts of criminal sexual contact, 1 count of
|
|
child abuse, and 3 counts of endargering the wefare of a child. My father's
|
|
charges were 2 counts of aiding & abetting sexual assault and 3 counts of
|
|
endagering the welfare of a child. It seems Mike had told his stories to the
|
|
police, and had gotten John and Dennis to go along with him. I still don't
|
|
know how he did that, but threats and/or blackmail come to mind. My grand-
|
|
mother paid the bail and my parents were released that night. An investiga-
|
|
tion was underway and many people were questioned, including myself and the
|
|
three stooges. (John, Dennis, Mike.) I have in my hand a copy of the tran-
|
|
scripts of the questioning of these three, and, needless to say, not a word
|
|
of their statments ring true. In fact, some of their statments contradict
|
|
other statments, which in itself is almost laughable. The trial date was set
|
|
for May 1992, and went as planned. It was widely publicized in papers, as i'm
|
|
sure some of you noticed. During the questioning of the three stooges, Mike
|
|
broke into tears, John contridicted himself and Dennis admitted to lying about
|
|
previous statments. In spite of all of this, 1 jourer had doubts. My father
|
|
was aquitted, and a mistrial was called on my mothers charges, the jury vote
|
|
being 11 to 1, in favor of aquittal. (Boy, I'd sure like to get my hands on
|
|
that one asshole!) It was doubtful that there would be a retrial, on account
|
|
of the vote being so close. However, my mother received a letter today in the
|
|
mail, stating that there will be a retrial on October 19, 1992. Once again,
|
|
this trial will be in the papers, so don't be suprised when you see them. I
|
|
have no doubt in my mind of my mother's aqquital. If you have any opinions or
|
|
questions about this situation, please don't hesitate to ask me.
|
|
Thank you.
