All the children were taken into DHS custody on March 27th, 2013, and are still in the clutches of the corrupt system. The court, which is supposed to be fair and unbiased, labeled Jeremiah as a predatory pedophile before any evidence was presented. This really bothers me. This is consistent with nearly every case I’ve written about. Whatever happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty?’

Guilty until proven innocent

The attorneys for the prosecution and defense worked together against Jeremiah and convicted him of a crime he did not commit. They brought in expert witnesses like a psychiatrist who was provided incorrect background information by the biased and subjective opinion of the DHS worker. The expert witness testified that if the child hated you, or is trying to break up the parental relationship, the child could be lying.

Since the ‘expert’ psychiatrist witness was not an expert at all and never shown the copy of the incident report where the child said those two exact same statements, evidence was obviously tampered with and hindered the path to justice. The incident report also said that Jeremiah’s step-daughter stated that Jeremiah was “taking her place” when it comes to her mother. It should have been a necessity to explain to the court that this 15-year-old had become sexually active at the age of 12, drank all the time, smoked marijuana and has never cared about anyone but herself. The description I received from family members that know her well is that she expresses strong symptoms of what a sociopath would emulate.

The prosecuting attorney submitted speculative hearsay as clear and convincing evidence to the judge, which resulted in Jeremiah’s bond being revoked. But it was only after the younger child spent the weekend with her 15-year-old sister, who is accused of ruthlessly fabricating a ‘cry wolf’ story about being molested, that the accusation originated. She had vindictively coached her little sister into saying the same thing. Jeremiah was now being accused of molesting his 3-year-old daughter as well as his 15-year-old.

This questionable 15-year-old girl is known for lying. And it was intentionally covered up by the County employees to gain the conviction of an innocent man. The family members I spoke with about this case made several indications that the authorities involved in getting the unjust conviction of Jeremiah are involved in a situation worthy of the label ‘conflict of interest’.

Conflict of interest

Back in 2002, Jeremiah’s younger brother Nathan had a small criminal case regarding petty allegations. He was found hung in the local jail cell. It didn’t kill him, but he has since required 24/7 medical care. How Nathan was hung is still a mystery. As is often the case, the video footage from that night was somehow “misplaced” by authorities. The judge that is involved in Jeremiah’s case was in fact the prosecuting attorney in Nathan’s case. The prosecuting attorney in Jeremiah’s case was the public defender in Nathan’s case.

To top it off, there have been accusations in the community that those two men, the judge and the prosecuting attorney, are known drug users. In 2013, the judge was in an auto accident and was investigated for illegally obtaining two prescriptions for pain relieving narcotics from two different doctors.

Makin matters worse, the foster parent for the sadistic teenager also happens to be the mother of the DHS caseworker. Jeremiah’s father Donald said, “This was nothing except retaliatory action by the judge and the prosecuting attorney on me and my family.” Donald said to go to johnsaddiction.com to see the evidence proving his statements to me. There is no physical evidence, no medical examinations, no documentation at all. There was only the obviously coached interview with the mother-daughter team of foster parent and DHS social worker.

Coercing witnesses, terrorizing children

The investigator, the social worker, the judge, and the prosecuting attorney tried to force Jeremiah’s 11-year-old son into saying he was molested too. When his son would not agree to this lie, they incarcerated the child at the Eagle Village Intervention Facility. This 11-year-old little boy was locked down 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 10 months.

The cost of his stay was over $20,000 and the windowless cell included cement block walls and a cement floor. He had a bed and a desk, that’s it. There was no toilet or sink in his room, so he was forced to bang on the door to get permission in order to use the facilities. The emotional and mental duress inflicted upon this poor child by the prosecuting attorney, the judge and DHS in order to justify the illegal removal of the children is an unbridled injustice.

When Jeremiah’s son still would not lie in his testimony about his step-father, they sent him to his biological father in Idaho. This child was the only witness to the alleged molestation of his older sister in 2013. Yet he was never interviewed and no statements were obtained from him by the lead investigator or anyone else. This poor child had just spent 10 months in a horrible state facility. And because he maintained his integrity by not lying about his family, these monsters willfully added insult to injury and shipped him off to his abusive biological father, who himself has not paid child support in 8 years.

The court-appointed attorney for Jeremiah worked with the prosecuting attorney to coerce him into agreeing to an entirely verbal, undocumented plea bargain. The attorneys relentlessly asked him to plead guilty to 4 counts of criminal sexual conduct in the 4th degree. But in the time frame that these alleged molestations supposedly took place, there were in-home healthcare workers present that filled out time sheets for the 2 shifts covering the 24 hour period. The medical caregivers were there providing Jeremiah’s brother Nathan with around-the-clock medical treatment.

Perjury, lies and falsified documents

The existence of these two in-home healthcare workers that could exonerate Jeremiah was not admitted into evidence for the defense and the prosecuting attorney lied in court saying that the family never had in-home healthcare services. This malicious attorney even took it a step further and accused Donald and his wife of giving alcohol to the children and stealing money from Nathan’s trust fund to pay for Jeremiah’s mounting legal bills.

Even after Donald and his wife’s financial records were illegally obtained without any probable cause, both accusations were proven untrue. Jeremiah’s own attorney out of Lansing, Michigan has shamelessly displayed corrupt behavior as well. Jeremiah was convicted solely on perjury, falsified statements, reports, and a hand-picked jury. The tainted defense attorney even tried to charge them double the amount of the original retainer agreement.

The court-appointed Appeals attorney couldn’t see that the court was erroneous in sentencing the defendant beyond the inflated artificial range. He did not see how the chief judge intimidated the defense witnesses or allowed the prosecuting attorney an unfair advantage over the defense attorney. Nor did he see the perjury, lies, false evidence or anything else that was questionable in this case. Now, Jeremiah’s court-appointed defense attorney will not communicate with him or any of his family members.

Free Jeremiah Dewey

Jeremiah is presently unjustly incarcerated due to a group of people that do not appear to have souls.  Meanwhile, the mother of the three children involved has since lost her children and her own parental rights have been terminated. And the vindictive teenage girl at the center of this tragedy that falsely accused Jeremiah has no remorse.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” – Sir Walter Scott. I couldn’t help but think about this quote while reading the details of Jeremiah’s case. All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing more than a lie reduced to practice. A tongue of deception is unjust, vicious, fallacious, unrighteous and corrupt. The lying tongue desires, through such vicious dishonesty, to do personal injury to another. Thus, it is not just telling lies to cover one’s own wickedness, but the telling of lies to bring harm to another.
