A New Home For A Teacher From Marshall County, Kansas

Michael Melcher, of this post, was arrested in the fall of 2016 for sex crimes against children. This happened in Butler County, Kansas. Prior to living in that area, Melcher was a native of Marshall County, Kansas, and taught at Marysville High School, in Marshall County, Kansas. Many, many people in Marshall County thought he was not guilty, and insisted that the charges had been dismissed, when in fact, the case had been bound over for trial.

Later on, in March of this year, Melcher incurred a guilty verdict, at which point, his employer, USD 490, finally terminated his employment. Had he not had so many enablers, tax payers would not have been required to pay for an extended leave of absence for this criminal. Melcher's picture also graces the sex offender registries, both state and national. Last week, he was sentenced to thirty-two months in prison.

Mr. Melcher's enablers can rest assured that the verdict is correct for three reasons. First, he finally came forward with an admission of guilt. He also offered a makeshift apology, which was never offered to anyone, prior to his arrest and court proceedings. Second, there was not only eyewitness evidence and testimony in the case, but electronic evidence, supporting the claims of the victims. Third, there was a victim statement at the sentencing. This is encouraging, because victims of these well connected creeps are usually not encouraged to speak in Kansas.

One question that is left unanswered here concerns how Mr. Melcher got away with these abusive predilections in Marshall County, Kansas; and specifically, who may have been paid to overlook the abuse. Marshall County attorney, Laura McNish, stated, upon running for election in 2013, that she wanted to "continue to partner with law enforcement, courts, schools and parents to promote justice, protect children, and uphold the law." Turning a blind eye to crime and allowing abusers to quietly move to other communities when victims file reports is obviously one of the county attorney's methods of protecting children! Finding out that crime and abuse are not accepted or appreciated in the rest of the known universe is always a shock for those who find favor with the court in Marshall County, Kansas.

Rumors Of Molester's Innocence Are Greatly Exaggerated

Yesterday, in Northeast Kansas, I heard a rumor. I am not sure exactly who started this rumor, (I certainly have a guess, though) but I do know who was regurgitating it for public consumption, at the expense of local children. I will resist the urge to name that person publicly, for the moment. Something that should be clearly stated; however, is this: enabling a violent person who lies and demonstrates criminal tendencies is bad enough, but to attempt to convince the general public that a sex offender is not a sex offender is without excuse. If you are reading this, you know who you are by now. In the recent past, you actually told a parent of a child, whose age is close to the age of Bradley Miller's victim, that he had been "cleared" of all charges. I do not know what you meant by "cleared", or what you thought you meant, but know this: Bradley Miller, pictured at the left, was found GUILTY in a Kansas court of a sexual assault of a minor. The charges were not dismissed; he was not aquitted. The date by which Mr. Miller could have filed an appeal has long passed. He is required, for the rest of his life, to register as a sex offender with the KBI. If you continue to deliberately misrepresent the truth about your disgusting sex offender friend, I will be less discreet about your identity the next time I write about this. The KBI maintains this list of creepy, filthy, violent criminals so that those of us who love our children can protect them, and so that those of us who really dislike trashy sex offenders have ample recourse to avoid them. If you find yourself so anxious concerning the criminal record of your so-called "friend", why not seek the company of those whose faces do not appear in the sex offender registry?

 

D'Andre Lane Found Guilty In Bianca Jones Murder

Bianca Jones, the toddler who disappeared in Detroit shortly before Christmas last year, is still missing, but her father, D'Andre Lane, was found guilty yesterday in her murder. I wish I could hug the grandmother in the video. This is so sad.

What's almost completely unbelievable is that D'Andre Lane actually wore an orange shirt to court.....the same shade of orange as jumpsuits worn in prison! He may as well have worn a sign reading "I did it. Find me guilty, already!"

 

Terri Horman should take note of this case. D'Andre Lane was charged, tried, and convicted despite the failure to find Bianca.

 

Warren Jeffs Wants A Get Out Of Jail Free Card

Just when I thought I had heard the end of the saga of Warren Jeffs, and how it's okay, in his religion, to sexually abuse underage girls, he comes up with something new! Now he wants to appeal his guilty verdict because the incident that drew law enforcement's attention to him was a questionable tip from another state. The problem is this: that tip had nothing to do with Jeffs. It was about someone else. The evidence discovered that concerned Jeffs was merely coincidental, and since it involved a couple of children, had to be investigated. There was nothing unlawful about it. What WAS unlawful, was Jeffs's relationships with some of the children.

If the people in Warren Jeffs's "church" (maybe "cult" is a better word?) really think that part of a religious upbringing is teaching young girls to expect and welcome abuse, maybe they should consider teaching their men, such as Jeffs, that if you can't do the time, you shouldn't do the crime! While molesting children may be part of Jeffs's religion, it's against just about everyone else's.
