Dear Mr. Jackman:
Throughout this matter concerning my daughter, you question my "mental status" so in return I challenge your integrity. (We'll get back to that allegation in a moment.)
1. As I explain in the posted letter to the social worker, Jodi Hertzberg, as for the Permanency Placement Plan, there is no "Plan A", there never was; only what I call a jerk-me-round, bureaucratic mobius strip: road to nowhere. I was informed last year, by such means as an official from Luzerne County, that your client had no intentions to give me my daughter. You have dangled my daughter like a carrot on a stick. Having no "dirt" on me, you gave me limited access to my daughter so you could invent dirt. Slick move. I played your game, sir, and took advantage to have at least some time with my daughter before we get back to business. This has become a matter of principle.
Question: Do you think I would do anything stupid having prior knowledge of a sting operation? That discredits your fabricated dirt.
2. You became aware of the e-mail I sent to the Bucks County Commissioners requesting an investigation, so in return, retaliated, again, to have my visitation suspended for the second time. (Said e-mail is posted on this web site.)
3. With all due respect, I label you as a sneak. I will explain.
4. Last year, your client attempted to sneak into court and "gain" temporary custody without informing me but an anonymous tip, via phone call, informed me of such treachery. Sir, your client attempted to forge the record and use a birth certificate that listed no father because my daughter was already selected for a black market adoption.
5. Last year, I filed a complaint to the District Attorney's Office, of Bucks County, in part, listing allegations against your client for harassment and entrapment. What did you do? Sneak into Judge Biehn's office and obtain an ex parte Order to suspend my visitation because I filed a complaint. I call that retaliation. I was exercising my Constitutional rights of redress of grievances.
6. Last year, when I filed a petition to have my daughter's last name changed, you responded, seemingly concerned for my finances, to say that you would not be able to make court on the given day and for me not to post notice in the paper as required since if a continuance was granted, I would have to re-post the notice and you wanted to spare me the added expense? With all due respect, I don't trust you or your client. What was the game plan? Hoping that I would be foolish enough to take such advise and then you would appear anyway? The petition would of been denied because I failed to place notice.
7. On 07-21-2000, my daughter was 11 months old before I held her for the first time. There was then a standing, two-fold Order. (a) That I had to stay 500 yards away from your client's office and (b) my visitation was suspended. Yet, your client had me violate the Order both ways allowing me to visit my daughter at their office. That Order should of been amended first.
Note: From my sources, you didn't want the record to reflect that said Order was ever amended.
8. After several visits, during a two month period, I inquired into the status of said Order, since I don't trust you or your client and Jodi kept evading my questions into the status of the Order. I contacted the Buckingham Twp. Police Department and was informed that the Order was still standing and I would be arrested if I violated same. That is when I went in person and spoke to the judge's secretary and informed her of the matter. It was then the Order was amended and Jodi faxed me a copy.
Question: Why would you allow me to violate the judge's Order?
9. I received timely notice that a hearing was to be held for 08-03-2001. A few days later Jodi called me and left a message that the hearing was cancelled until further notice. I called back and requested something in writing to that effect. I did so twice. Both times Jodi insisted the hearing was canceled but refused to send me something in writing, not even a fax. Why? Like I said, I don't trust you or your client. Bonnie Fisher and I went to the courthouse on 08-03-2001. At the courthouse you and I spoke briefly and you seemed agitated that I was there. I told you that I talked to Jodi and needed something in writing. Our conversation was cut short because you had a "court appearance". You said to wait, then you snuck down the stairs to avoid me and went to your office. So I went to your office to give you a copy of certain arrangements I made with day care. It seemed obvious that you didn't want me in your office and have your secretary be a witness that I was in Doylestown that day. That's my impression.
Question: What was the game plan? Hoping that I would not show so a hearing could be held without me? What would of been entered into record? That I received timely notice of the hearing, at least that was in writing. There was no paper trail of a verbal notice of cancellation. With all due respect I smelled a setup.
10. And again, you had hearing on 09-14-2001, to suspend my visitation for the second time, and you didn't want me there. Let's look at what took place:
(a) On 09-13-2001, at 3:30 pm, Jodi sends me a fax, in essence to the wrong address, giving notice that a hearing was scheduled for the next day at 9:00 am. That's less than 24 hours notice. You know I live 85 miles away and Jodi was given paperwork last year from my employer that I needed 48 hours notice to be excused from work.
(b) On 09-14-2001, about an hour after the hearing, Jodi faxed me notice that my visitation was suspended. Then she called Bonnie and told her.
(c) On the 14th, at lunch time, I went to my property as usual to check my mail and fax machine. It was then I discovered both faxes. I called Bonnie and she said Jodi had just called and told her of the new Order.
Review: It has been common knowledge that I live at Bonnie's address, about 12 miles from my property. Her home was approved. Jodi knew of my routine checking mail and fax machine each day at lunch time since my property is about 1/4 mile from work. (The mail arrives usually by 11:30 am.) When my sift ended on the 13th, at 2:30 pm. I left work and went directly to Hazleton. So, on the 13th I had no knowledge there was a fax in my machine: at 3:30 pm I was in Hazleton. Furthermore, if Jodi could taken the time and notify Bonnie after the hearing by phone, why didn't she call before the hearing? Furthermore, Jodi knew I had an attorney since she spoke to him a few days before. Why wasn't his office given a phone call or fax before the hearing? According to my attorney, your office knew of his position since he had left messages at your office.
11. Conclusion? You didn't want me there and wanted to fabricate the record to indicate that I was given notice but did not bother to attend.
Part Two
12. Question: Why post this letter? On the Internet? Sir, with all due respect, this case needs to see the light of day, away from the shadows of the back room. I have nothing to hide, do you? Let's allow the public to examine your client's manufactured pedigree. Furthermore, with the current anthrax crisis going on, I am reluctant to send you, your client or the court any correspondence by regular mail. With all the skullduggery that has taken place, I would not put it past your establishment to spike one of my letters with corn starch, cry wolf, and engage in another smear campaign trying, again, to have me arrested on some sort of terroristic threats. Like I said, I have valid reason not to trust you, your client or those inside the court. Again I repeat, I charge that attempt was underway to forge DNA testing as means to get rid of me and ease the way for another black market adoption. SHAME ON YOU.
13. Before I forget, if your client plans to "take" my daughter you will do so in front of a jury: that is non-negotiable. I hope you understand this. Before a jury, in the light of day, out in the open before the public, I have an easy victory. Consider this a notice and demand for a jury trial.
14. I suggest you read the entire contents of my two web sites so you can gain adequate context to this letter. (Reminder, both sites are under construction.)
15. As for my "mental status", did you open the door to have the contents of the letter I sent to the Commissioners examined for accuracy? You can't have it both ways. You used said communication to "justify" allegations of my "mental status". So, lets examine the contents of said letter: Click Here. Can you prove my allegations are, say, bizarre delusion? Also, I sent that letter to the Commissioners for a specific reason of requesting an investigation. Are you interfering with an investigation trying to discredit me?
16. Discrediting your opposition is, I believe, taught in first year law school. It has some logic to seek desired ends.
Sincerely,
Anthony R. Stanziola
