Learn from Mistakes Criminal Defendant has made in Ellis County Texas

Really study filings and evidence.  I could give dozens of examples.  In a theft by divorce case in New Hampshire, I all of a sudden realized the Affidavit of the thief was notarized in Oklahoma, WHERE HE WASN’T.

In John Eric Armstrong’s case in Ellis County Texas, I realized he was never indicted for any crime.  I realized this by comparing the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure provisions on Indictment with what was filed by the corrupt District Court Clerk.  Please compare Exhibit A225 and Exhibit A324.  Exhibit A225 is what the Clerk filed.  Exhibit A324 is actually the Purported Indictment.

Do you see the tree or the forest?  Do you realize that what the Clerk added is NOT part of the Purported Indictment?

Look closer.  Do you find the word “stalking” anywhere in the Purported Indictment?  It has to be within the four corners of Exhibit A324.  It ain’t there.  Do you find the statute identified by statute section/number?  NOPE.   Do you find the elements of the crime of stalking in Exhibit A324?  No again.  Do you see the names of the witnesses?  No, No, No.

It’s a void Indictment!

It almost never hurts to ask.  I asked Norma Chambers, the woman who allegedly signed the Purported Indictment, for an interview.  I asked in an email whether she actually signed it.  Her husband called and threatened me.  He did tell me his wife “didn’t recall” this Indictment.  WOW!  Was it all a forgery?  Inquiring minds want to know.

My point is this.  Valuable information can skip right past your eyes.  REALLY SEE.

In another instance, I was confused when writing the script for the documentary film about the John Eric Armstrong Case.  Lauren Kersh is a big fat liar.  The challenge for John Eric Armstrong is how to PROVE she’s a liar.  Testifying that she’s lying isn’t enough.  I thought one thing happened, but when I watched two Bodycam videos, she told a different story.  Very much by accident, an affidavit came across my desk, and I’ll be darned if she didn’t swear under oath under penalty of perjury that what she said to the officers happened didn’t happen.  NAILED!  Zero credibility from the jury when you get slammed on the witness stand with Ellis County Sheriff’s Office evidence of serious perjury and other crimes.

Mistake #6

DO NOT FAIL to File a Habeas Corpus Petition

Now I get to some more specifics about what’s currently happening and not happening with the case of John Eric Armstrong…

Why in the world hasn’t John Eric Armstrong filed a federal Habeas Corpus Petition?  Doesn’t he want to be exonerated?  It’s his best shot BY MILES.  If the federal judge in Dallas rules in his favor, he’s out of jail and exonerated forever!

When one is incarcerated in a state jail, he or she can file a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in federal court.  The Form is right there on the Dallas Federal Court website.  You simply highlight how your Constitutional rights are being violated.  John Eric Armstrong’s case is compelling.  No arrest.  No affidavit of probable cause.  No indictment.  No crime.  Denied every imaginable form of due process.

I think it’s a win, and he can go home, relax, lose weight, and prepare for a mega-million-dollar civil lawsuit against Ellis County.

If the federal Petition is denied, he can file one in Ellis County.  If that is denied, he can go to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. I have done both of those. Those filings are on LawlessAmerica.com.  

I am very surprised with what happened at a hearing in Ellis County Case #45576CR on 9/22/2021.  Surprised that John Eric Armstrong didn’t go home because if he isn’t going to file a federal Habeas Corpus Petition, he can prepare far more effectively out of jail.  Surprised that Judge Cindy Ermatinger didn’t act on Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 17.151 on her own.  It’s the law; she had a duty to act.

This shows me that the most important thing to the Ellis County Evildoers is to keep John Eric Armstrong locked up to make it virtually impossible for him to get evidence and prepare for trial.  It seems Judge Cindy Ermatinger was willing to trade allowing John Eric Armstrong a shot at full exoneration with another court in exchange for maintaining control over him for as long as possible while denying him evidence and preparation.  I hope John Eric Armstrong recognizes the importance of what happened 9/22/2021.

Mistake #7

Never Trust Anyone Appointed by the Court for Any Reason

John Eric Armstrong was assigned “Stand-By Counsel” by Judge Cindy Ermatinger.

I have one Cardinal Rule with Judge Cindy Ermatinger:  “If she wants it, I don’t!”

I don’t believe the Standy-By Counsel is a supporter of John Eric Armstrong.  I understand he told him to file a motion in limine.  I believe it is totally inappropriate for him at this time.  I’ve filed several.  You only get to do it once.  It is to ask for an order that certain matters may or may not be brought up at trial.  Judge Cindy Ermatinger will screw John Eric Armstrong on that, and he won’t be able to do anything but appeal the jury’s decision.  I don’t believe one should file a Motion in Limine until close to trial.  In John Eric Armstrong’s case, he’d better be thinking a new judge, because I’ve found Judge Cindy Ermatinger to be rotten to the core.

Mistake #8

Don’t sit idly with a Corrupt Judge

Why hasn’t John Eric Armstrong filed a motion to disqualify Judge Cindy Ermatinger?  I did, and I succeeded.  What I filed in 2015 is on LawlessAmerica.com.

Judge Cindy Ermatinger will deny it.  It then goes to the Presiding Judge for the Region in Dallas who should grant it.  A new judge should be named, and I pitched for one in another county AND GOT IT!  Then John Eric Armstrong’s 60+ motions filed over the last year should be heard.

Some folks are hesitant to file to disqualify a judge because they will hate you.

DUH, she already hates John Eric Armstrong, and she’s on a mission to destroy him.

If you have an attorney, they will probably never do this because their career could take a hit.  They only care about themselves.

If John Eric Armstrong doesn’t get a new judge, I believe he will be convicted because Judge Cindy Ermatinger will do whatever she has to do to get him sent to prison to protect Ellis County, her fat butt, and Lauren Kersh.

The only other options based on my personal experience are (1) file a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Court of Criminal Appeals asking them to order her to deal with all of his motions, or (2) take the Get Out of Jail Free Card with 17.151 and show up at each of her hearings in other cases until she sets each and every motion.

If John Eric Armstrong doesn’t try to get Judge Cindy Ermatinger removed, he can’t be serious about trying to win.  If he’s not serious about winning, then perhaps his former attorneys were right about trying to have him committed to an insane asylum.  Sorry, John, I call them the way I see them.

Mistake #9

Don’t delay on pursuing a Motion to Quash a Purported Indictment when it is VOID

Why hasn’t John Eric Armstrong amended (second amendment) his Motion to Quash Indictment?  Only what’s within the text on Exhibit A324 matters.  It doesn’t charge him with any crime; no crime is specified; the word “stalking” doesn’t even appear; no elements are addressed.  I’m not an attorney, but that slapped me in the face as I was reading the Code on Indictments.  I realized that his amended motion to quash indictment argues against stalking.  But it shouldn’t!!!!!!  He hasn’t been charged with stalking by the Ellis County Grand Jury.

In John Eric Armstrong’s case in Ellis County Texas, I realized he was never indicted for any crime.  I realized this by comparing the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure provisions on Indictment with what was filed by the corrupt District Court Clerk.  Please compares Exhibit A225 and Exhibit A324.  A225 is what the Clerk filed.  A324 is actually the Purported Indictment.

Do you see the tree or the forest?  Do you realize that what the Clerk added is NOT part of the Purported Indictment?

Look closer.  Do you find the word “stalking” anywhere in the Purported Indictment?  It has to be within the four corners of A324.  It ain’t there. Do you find the statute identified by statute section/number?  NOPE.   Do you find the elements of the crime of stalking in A324?  No again.

It’s a void Indictment!

I emailed the Grand Jury Foreperson, Norma Chambers, requesting an interview for the movie. Her husband called and threatened me, but he did say “my wife has no recollection of that indictment.”

I would want a new judge to hear that amended motion.  If denied, John Eric Armstrong needs to research whether that can be immediately appealed.  No indictment = ticket home + no trial.

I would guess he could do an immediate appeal on the motion for discharge.  But again, if it were me, I’d prefer to try it with a new judge.

If you have a friend or loved one in Ellis County Jail, I’d bet the odds are that they’ve been screwd, glued, and tattooed by the Ellis County Star Chamber.
 

Be Smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Eric Armstrong is all alone in a tiny cell with no human contact, no telephone, and not much more than bread and water provided to eat.  He can spend $50 when the Commissary Wagon comes by a few times a week.  He hasn’t even had a light bulb, and he is denied the most fundamental of Constitutional rights.  Ellis County Texas has made it impossible for him to represent himself pro se.  He hasn’t even  been able to see to read.

The stress of working in the corruption of the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office at the Ellis County Jail caused John Eric Armstrong to explode to 450 pounds.  He quit after almost eight years.  Without surgery, just exercise and his own diet, John Eric Armstrong lost 250 pounds.  This is John, before and after.

John Eric Armstrong weighed 212 pounds on the right.  Ironically, that’s what he weighed when he was stuck in The Hole on 7/7/2020.  Now I am told he weighs almost as much as he did in this photo on the left…450.  It darn sure isn’t from the Ellis County Jail food.  John Eric Armstrong has a medical condition that causes him to gain weight from stress hormones (Cortisol).

John Eric Armstrong could die in the Ellis County Jail.  Ellis County could murder him and get away with it.  His unlawful confinement has done horrendous damage to him mentally and physically.

He must not make many more mistakes.
