Noah Crooks Arraignment Last week, on Tuesday the 16th, Noah Crooks was arraigned at the Cerro Gordo County IA courthouse. It was a 5-10 minute procedure that was not even a big enough deal for Noah’s attorney Bill Kutmus to tell me about it until after-the-fact when we spoke about upcoming matters. Because this is the first murder in Noah’s community in about 100 years, there were at least three television film crews there to cover the story, plus reporters from the print media. So if you’re one of those readers who likes to savor every morsel of detail, here are some links to see for yourself:

First Feedback from Jefferson Sanders since James Prindle’s Trial (albeit on another website from which he was banned for bad behavior):
“You people are fucking nuts. All of you. Dan Dailey is the biggest liar in the universe and so is Frank Manning. All of you are sick people. You are wastes of human skin and you don’t deserve to breathe the same air as normal people.”
Two things.
First, don’t you think it is curious that Jeff doesn’t mention Stephen Sydebotham? If I am indeed “the biggest liar in the universe,” it is only because I was reporting what Sydebotham was telling me, believing it to have been true. Hmmm… why should he call out two honest people as liars and exclude the most blatantly dishonest “waste of human skin” in his comment? Could Sanders and Sydebotham be in cahoots? I don’t have any evidence this is so, but the omission does arouse suspicion. His language, too, may be very telling. Thanks, Jeff, for the tip.
Second, I hope Sanders isn’t holding himself up as the paragon of normalcy, because if he is normal, our society is totally screwed. Here is a record of a domestic violence incident for which Sanders was arrested and in connection to which Monica Sanders took out a protection order against him.
Jefferson succeeded in getting Monica to drop the charges, but it did not erase the record of the incident. This record does not include those crimes, including child abuse and drug dealing (confirmed in writing by Monica), for which Jefferson has not yet been held to account:

Santa’s Countdown We have been making the rounds among Sydebotham’s friends and encouraging them to get straight with us and tell the truth about everything.
Last night there was this rather humorous exchange:
“I’m not going to tell you where I work.”
Dana: “If you think we don’t already know that, you’re absolutely out of your mind.”
This photo proves Dana’s claim:
This same person told us for a second time that Sydebotham has a safe in his trailer home filled with lots of money. Another source told us that Sydebotham has been stockpiling his ill-gotten cash so he can relocate and live closer to James Prindle.
“Oh really?” says Dana. “You’ve gotta be kidding me!”
No, no, no, Stephen. That will never happen. You must pay back all the money you’ve stolen before you can move anywhere. People didn’t donate that money so you can set yourself up in your own little pedo fantasyland. It’s time to get real. Your day of reckoning is approaching and you’d best reform your ways voluntarily before you’re forced to change.
