Subj: Mena Drug Drop Deaths
LETTER
Mena Drug Drop Deaths
PLEASE read the following letter forwarded to me. It is
about the two boys who saw the drug drop in Mena, Arkansas
and were later found dead. The first story was that they
committed suicide on the train tracks, but after their
families protested, an autopsy showed bullet holes. Any
friend of Marlon Maddoux' is a friend of mine. Marlon and
Matriciana are both upstanding men. Mr. Matriciana has made
wonderful movies and I'm sure he took this movie project
under much prayer before deciding to do it. If I remember
correctly, one of these boys was only 11. If you know anyone
in Little Rock or you can go there, please go to the trial.
Let me know if you're going, please.
Thank you,
Joetta Deutsch <><
FWD: This is Laura Nichols. I have attended the opening
day of the trial where the two deputy sheriffs are sueing
Mr. Pat Matriciana, owner of Jeremiah Films, Inc. for 16
million dollars. They accuse him of defamation of
character. They have to prove "reckless disregard for the
truth." The video including the names of the two deputy
sheriff's is called OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. The exact
statement in question goes something like this.
"Eyewitnesses have been implicated in the deaths of the two
boys these people ....." Then the mens names are listed.
The trial opened with the selection of jurors. After about
one hour of questioning, 13 people were chosen. Then we
broke for lunch. This was Monday, Aug. 2nd. At 1 o'clock
the opening statements began with the sheriff's side first.
Then Mr. John Hall representing Mr. Matriciana gave his
statement. The first witness to be called was Mr.
Matriciana. After intensive questioning, the jury was then
shown the video in length. They were extremely moved by the
video. The only people in attendance for Mr. Matriciana
were myself, my friend Penny, her son and my daughter.
Then Mr. Matriciana had his son, a friend who had flown in
from out of town, Mrs. Linda Ives. mother of Kevin Ives, one
of the slain teenagers, his legal counsel and that was all.
Since this information was put out last week by Marlin
Maddoux, there should have been a full gallery. But there
were a total of 11 people. I have contacted local
newspaper, radio and have faxed out press releases. I have
contacted the pro-family groups in Arkansas. I have not
heard by from Eagle Forum. I did hear form Jerry Cox at the
Family Council. He refused to attend. He said he would not
support someone he did not know and he questioned the
validity of the video (which he had never seen) and he had
former past experience with people who made videos of this
nature and that usually they were 2/3 right and the rest was
wrong.
Now I know that we can be led astray and that there are many
people who go overboard with the conspiracy theory. I
subscribe to that theory but I do not go overboard. I have
utmost respect for the truth, proper research and I do not
take most things for face value.
When I showed up for the trial, I did not know Mr.
Matriciana. I only knew what I had heard on Marlin Maddoux.
I heard them say that Mr. and Mrs. Maddoux are good personal
friends to Mr. Matricana. I went because I was burdened to
go, I wanted to pray, I was curious, and I just knew that I
was supposed to go.
Yes, I could have stayed home and prayed from there, but you
can never ever replace real human warm bodies when it comes
to encouraging and being active about something.
Having met him for the first time Monday, I must tell you
how broken-hearted that I am. This man is an ordained
Baptist Minister who, desiring to get the truth out about
the murders, agreed to produce the film.
Jean Duffy, a former district prosecuting attorney in Saline
County, along with Linda Ives, had done the research, the
brought it to Mr. Pat Matriciana, and he agreed to produce
it. I wish that I could film what is taking place in that
courtroom, because truly it is the court case of the
century. So many facts are coming forth.
You may not understand this, but this man's life is at
stake. The media in Little Rock is doing a good job of
keeping this hushed. Two or three stations showed up, and
the Ar Dem Gazette. WE need this information to get out.
We need good attendance at this trial. There is seating for
170 people, and only 11 people for Mr. Matricana.
Now, you may not know about this case. You may doubt the
truth of it. But on Marlin Maddoux today Mr. John Hall
(present at the trial) told that eyewitnesses claim that
they saw these particular deputy sheriffs pick up the two
boys at a phone booth. What they believe happened is that
the boys saw the drug drop, they ran away and managed to get
to the phone booth, were picked up by the two sheriffs,
taken somewhere, where they were then killed (by whom) and
laid on the tracks.
This case must come to trial. We must pray for this. If we
are able to go or pray and we do neither then God we will
face in judgment. The reason we are in this situation is
because of that. We go nowhere, we say nothing and our
friends, family, and freedom is dying around us. Is God
asking you to go? Is God asking you to pray? Is there
someone you can call to get them to come out and stand along
side Mr. Matriciana? Now is the time to act. If we don't,
we have no one to blame but ourselves.
In Righteous Anger,
Laura Nichols, Arkansas
