Woody747 and I were in court again today, to determine if the Temporary Protection Order I had against him would be made permanent. This was a continuation hearing from October 6th, 2004.
First thing, Woody747 told the judge he wanted to lodge a " complaint" against me.....
On October 6th, Woody747 admitted to writing a series of email messages to me where he was pretending to be an attorney who used to live on my street who was a friend of the Mercers. He said he no longer lived in Colorado.
He had emphatically denied writing any of the 12 unsolicited hateful, threatening, hurtful and obscene email messages to my office email account from June 8th to September 16th 2004. He was under oath, in the witness chair and denied writing these messages.
Woody747 already knew we had issued a subpoena to his ISP and learned he was responsible for the first threatening and sick email message.
-
Woody747 learned that we could place him at all the other public locations where all the rest of these email messages were written from.
-
He learned we knew he was at the car dealership where the first "anonymous" threatening email message was written on June 8th.
-
We knew he used the same Hotmail email id from the Jefferson County Public Library.
-
We knew he created other email ids to harass me with and used them at the Jefferson County Public Library.
-
We knew he created other email ids to harass me from his college classroom at the Metropolitan State College of Denver.
-
He knew we could prove he wrote all of them.
|
As soon as Woody747 got sworn in again and on the witness stand, he immediately recanted his prior testimony and admitted to writing all of the messages he denied the last time.
|
|
Until Woody747 learned we could prove his guilt, he was perfectly willing to perjure himself to the Jefferson County Court.
|
per·ju·ry
Perjury is lying or making verifiably false statements under oath in a court of law. Perjury is a crime because the witness has sworn to tell the truth, and for the credibility of the court, witness testimony must be relied on as being truthful. It is seen as a very serious crime as it seeks to usurp the authority of the courts, because it can lead to miscarriages of justice.

We began by asking him about specific things he'd written in these messages. When he listed information about my family - was he trying to threaten me? No he says, he just wanted to worry me...
When Woody747 had written that some website existed that had pictures of me, pictures of my car, pictures of me walking to my office, pictures from inside my house - was that intended to make me feel violated, no it was just to worry me... Woody747 admitted that this website he mentioned had never existed.
-
Attorney: What was your purpose is sending these -- you would agree these emails are obscene, wouldn't you?
-
Woody747: I would.
Woody747 said he was sending these "anonymous" (he was traced) Hotmail messages to me to make me take this website down. It's not up to Woody747 to inhibit my right to free speech. And even when the www.feelmypain.net website was down between 8/24 to 10/24/2004, he still sent me FOUR of these hateful, hurtful, obscene and threatening messages (8/28, 9/02, 9/07 and 9/16).
The Judge stopped us, he said he heard enough to make a ruling and that the rest of the court room didn't need to hear all of this. He said that those messages were clearly designed to be threatening and that no one should have to ever put up with being sent messages of this type.
The Judge ruled that the Protection Order would be made Permanent.

Nobody should have to receive the emails you sent Mr. Potter. About his wife, about what you would do on his wife's grave, ah, all of these things. They're bizarre, they're threatening, they're degrading, and they show a real instability on the part of the sender which would require the recipient to think I'm going to get hurt by this guy. This guy is out there too far.
Ah, your intention was to make him think he was dealing with someone so crazy, so outside the boundaries of human behavior that he would have to take down his web site or who knows what could happen next. It might just not be his wife's grave, okay?
That goes beyond boundaries the of what any citizen in this community should have to receive and its very easy for me to make the decision to say you may not communicate with him in any way in the future.
You have ZERO respect in this court.

|
In a very harsh tone, the Judge told Woody747:
"You have ZERO respect in this Court!"

I strongly suggest that everyone else on our street should think twice about letting their wives and children anywhere near Woody747. Now that we've proved how hateful and perverted and obscene he can be, is it worth taking the chance?
We also know Woody747 has been working with the Mercers for some, if not all of this hateful harassment towards me. Think twice about the Mercers too. Do you want them around your wives and children?
If anyone doubts me, stop by and I'll show you what Woody747 has been emailing me. I'll fill you in on the rest of the obscene things that been thrown on my property, sent to me in the U.S. Mail and distributed in some of the nearby neighborhoods.
Then make your own informed decision about any association with the Mercers and with Woody747. Just picture Woody747 sitting on the couch with your wife and children and shudder

October 29th, 2004: Woody747 has posted a message at a magazine discussion group complaining about this website. His EXACT message is shown below (bad spelling and grammar included):
February 1st, 2005: When I first saw Woody747's posting to the magazine discussion group, I thought he was pretending to be someone living on my street (again). But he was really pretending to be Jeff Mercer. He must not like himself very much, he's always pretending to be someone else (I don't blame him for not liking himself very much).
The user id he uses at the magazine discussion group is the same as he used in some of the original emails he sent to me before he starting pretending to an attorney and then a cowardly harasser.
I wouldn't be surprised if he is also some of the other posters in the discussion. When he was pretending to be an attorney, he'd make up many fake email ids for different attorneys and then use them to send emails back and forth to each other (himself). Maybe he lies to himself in email messages to himself?
Woody747 (fantasizing he's Jeff Mercer) complains that I have (a few fuzzy) pictures of "his" children stoning my house posted on this website. And by the way, he says, here is the website so you can all see what I'm complaining about. Kind of defeats the purpose of his complaint now doesn't it.

Nieghbor taking pictures of our kids, posted on website.
We have a nieghbor that we do not get along with. He has set up a website and put our kids on it. He has called us liar and bad parents on this website and is negative toward our young kids. He advertised his website on the side of his house. How do you feel about this.

Liar? Woody747 objects to being called a Liar?
Notice how Woody747 distorts the facts (just as Jeff always does).
He says " we" have a neighbor? He is not a neighbor of ours, he lives miles away in a different neighborhood. He never mentions that he is the despicable Woody747 I described on this website page.
He says I put " our kids" on the website. There are a few black and white pictures of the children (with fuzzy faces) vandalizing my house from the playground. His children are not shown on this website (unless his children were involved in the stoning of my house ???)
