Nov. 2016 - Pages from the sentencing transcript taken from the Probation Officer's Pre-Sentence Report

IT GETS UGLY…

Now Anjelica was suddenly convinced that her father didn’t care and didn’t love her.  
This LIE created a divide that was never healed.

Then the bottom feeding rat came.

On February 17, 2010, this spineless hollow man was released from prison.  

He had a long criminal history, including an incident in 2005 where he reportedly hit, strangled, and raped his estranged wife.  She immediately went to police and five days later he took her on the run for two weeks.  There was a nationwide manhunt, with a $50,000 reward.  He was finally tracked down after a high speed chase and wreck, in Illinois.   Multiple law enforcement agencies and a helicopter and infrared equipment were involved in his capture.

This was potentially a very dangerous man.

Despite a host of crimes committed in 2005, he was ultimately only charged for one bank robbery, and served 4 1/2 years..  The state of Ohio waited until after Anjelica was murdered to charge him with Assault, Rape, and Kidnapping.  After two years of legal wrangling, he was found guilty only of assault in June of 2018.  Much of the evidence had been destroyed.

In 2005, he began his prison term in low-security general population and was escalated to serving his last two years and two months in maximum security lockdown at Victorville Federal Penitentiary .   While in prison he committed over 70 serious crimes, including stabbing a man multiple times in the face.  He was affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood.

The system failed in its duty to punish or protect.

This man went right from lockdown to living with my precious three daughters, one who was estranged from her dad and especially vulnerable...

On April 9, 2010, he met the mother of my children at a bar.

TWO WEEKS LATER, he was living with my girls and their mother.

The probation officer, Tomas Ramirez, did not inform me of this violent career criminal living with my daughters.  As a father with 50/50 physical and legal custody, I should have been informed.

The probation officer did inform the mother though.  She knew about the rape and strangling and abduction and robberies and burglaries and over 9 years worth of prison time for a felony after felony.

She knew.

They married on May 12, 2010.

On May 21, they took Anjelica on their honeymoon to the mountains where his family was staying.  I asked the mother not to do this because I had learned about his criminal history by some simple internet searching.  

  I made many attempts to reason with the mother.  I called her to tell her what I had learned.  I had tracked down and spoken with the woman he had victimized.  I tried getting my children's mother to refrain from living with him.  Her answer:  
"He is ten times the dad you'll ever be."

That's the last time I spoke with that woman on the phone.

June 2, 2010 I filed for full custody of all three girls.

I informed Judge Joseph P. Massey and the Guardian ad Litem, Charles A. Johnson about this guy’s history.  The court hearings and the GAL investigation became more about my attitude and reactions, than the danger into which my children were placed.  It was a disgrace.  The FAMILY COURT nightmare can be learned by Clicking Here.

This guy had committed crimes that qualified as “Family Abuse”, as defined in Virginia Code.  This is supposed to be considered in determining custody.  Judge Massey ignored that law and blatantly ignored ALL BUT ONE of the  “Best Interest” statutes.  The ONLY consideration was 'the child's preference'.  She was 14 and had been manipulated and lied to.  Children should not have to choose a parent.

We were ordered to go to counseling upon my request.  Anjelica and I did ONE session.  The counselor asked Anjelica why she chose not to come to her dad's house.  She said it was 'because of the food and because I didn't adopt her'.  HUH??  I had ALWAYS wanted to adopt her.  Who told her this complete lie?  And as far as our food, we usually cooked at home.  Anjelica often helped.  It was some of our best times together.  I guess we didn't go out enough or eat enough junk food??

The counselor asked her if she thinks she might regret choosing not to stay with her dad.  She quietly said, "ya probably"...  

During the custody hearings, I asked the PROBATION OFFICER to testify about Hadsell's record.  He refused.  The reason given was to protect the offender's privacy.  This is only supposed to be a consideration, not a mandate, and given the circumstances, testimony should have been given.

Judge Massey changed my custody of Anjelica from 50/50 to ZERO.  No weekends.  No evenings.  NOTHING.    

I maintained 50/50 of my other two girls, which shows that there was nothing wrong with my parenting.
