Roger McClendon
Since I have witnessed the events from the day Robert McClendon was arrested for the alleged assault with a firearm, leading up to the conclusion of his trial. I realized that the justice system Is basically all screwed up and reminds me of a modern day witch hunt, when it involves domestic violence. When a major crime occurs, such as a murder, they seem to do an all out investigation. But in Robert’s case this did not happen.
On the day of his arrest, two women one being his girlfriend, the other was her oldest daughter was mad at him over the young girls activities with neighborhood boys. So they conspired to have him arrested to get him out of the way.
The young girl woke Robert up by turning the stereo up, then running about 1/3, to 1/2 Of a mile to the manager’s office to call the police. Robert was disabled. So why did she run that far, when she could have used one of the neighbor’s phone? Then the park’s maintenance man walked into my brother’s house demanding all of his firearm’s. None of this makes any sense. Me personally? I would never consider entering a man’s house if he is going crazy, and allegedly waiving a firearm around. So I keep asking myself, could part of the management be involved in this plot?
When the police arrived, Robert was arrested in his pajamas and took statements from the two women. But guess what folks. The police never went into the house to investigate the bedroom where the two women said the first assault took place! The young girl said that Robert had choked her. Keep in mind that at that time Robert was disabled, and frail due to his medical condition, and that the young girl has had a history of fighting other boys and kicking their ass! Also, the police did not take pictures of the young girls throat, and for her to seek medical treatment.
During the first court appearance (The Protective Order Hearing) Robert’s attorney. started questioning them, and that’s when the perjury started. They couldn’t even get their stories straight! Then they started adding to the complaint (Amending also the alleged use of a shotgun). One of the women said he was using a 44 pistol during the assault, and the other said he was using a shotgun. Interesting don’t you think?
While Robert was in jail, they made him sign a protective order keeping him away from his house. He was getting ready to be released, but didn’t have any clothes other than the pajamas he was wearing. So he gave me permission to go to his house and get him some clothes. The house had been abandoned for days, so I went in to get him some clothes, and personal items. Then the police arrived there with guns drawn trying to arrest me! My brother’s ex girlfriend was telling them that I was breaking, and entering! When the police discovered that this was not true, they released me, making me put his things back in the house. So eventually we had to buy him some clothes.
Days later, Robert regained possession of his house. When we arrived, we discovered that the house was cleaned out, and trashed! They even took his personal items such as: wallet with his ID, false teeth, medical records, his own pictures of his family and kids, job certifications, they even took the large shed outside, removed the contents, dismantled it and hauled it off! At that point he was devastated saying his whole life history was gone!
After some time passed, some people were vandalizing my mom’s property on different occasions. In one incident a taillight was broken, leaving the piece on the ground. I took the numbers from it finding out that it came from a Ford truck. There was no reason for a stranger to repeatedly vandalize my mother’s property, so I knew who was doing it. I then decided to go to these individuals’ house to find that truck. Before I started my trip, I stopped to get gas at the HEB store by my house using a debit card to make a record of where I was, including deliberately parking under a camera at the gas pump. Then I started calling other people I knew to let them know what was I was doing. The reason behind this is to cover my whereabouts, and to have cell phone towers to track my every move.
After I left the gas pump I continued to make numerous phone calls, logging who I was talking to, and what I was doing at that time. When I was within about three minutes of my destination, Robert called me and I told him what I was doing and he protested.
During the time I drove by the house they (Chris and her mother) saw me, and I thought they were going to accuse me of doing something violent, but they didn’t. Instead they called the police and said it was my brother driving the van
A few days later Robert had to post another bond for violation of the protective order. At the time of my drive by, he was very ill in another county under the care of a nurse aid. We went to court over the issue, and Roberts attorney caught his ex, and her mom lying again. They both positively identified Robert as driving the van. But the catch. is that he didn't have a beard, I did. They said he had a beard. All photos from the sheriff dept. proved that he didn't. The attorney asked both women if the window was up, or down and they said they didn't know. So what kind of beard did they see? Then when I was put on the stand, I produced all of the evidence. Pictures of the van with dark tinted windows, ( You could not see through those windows if you wanted to!) credit card transaction, and the cell phone call log with detailed information showing where I was during each phone call. I wished I had a camera, It was a classic! You should have seen the look on the prosecutors face when I proved they were lying! NOW FOR THE REAL LIE! During the hearing, Robert's ex girlfriend said that he was making harassing phone calls from jail. His attorney witnessed another big lie! He never was in jail! He posted bond, and they took his glamour shot, THAT'S IT!
Now, a year later Robert’s trial is underway just before ELECTION TIME!. His
attorney made a firm argument before the jury about the possible motives of the
two women that accused him of a crime that he did not commit. Then the
prosecution told their side of the story that sounded like garbage/gibberish.
Robert’s attorney used the transcripts from the very first hearing against the
women, catching them in one lie after another. THE LIES WERE THICK IN THE AIR!
They didn’t even remember what they said during the first hearing! Then they
(mother and daughter) violated the order to not discuss the trial during break,
and then the mother was caught eavesdropping on the daughter’s testimony. At
that point the case should have been thrown out, but the judge continued with
the trial, even though Robert’s attorney asked for a mistrial. .
During the trial, the two women said he used two firearms, but only one was used in the trial. Months before the trial, Robert’s ex-girlfriend, posing as his wife, claimed the other firearms from the evidence room. Keep in mind that her, and her family stole everything from his home also.
During the end of the trial, after questioning the officers about several aspects of the arrest, they didn’t even know who made the police report; further more, there was no investigation whatsoever into the matter. They were pointing the finger at each other, but I heard one thing -- THEY SAID THAT THE TWO WOMEN WERE “NOT CREDIBLE” IN THEIR STATEMENTS!
After it was all said and done, the jury found my brother guilty anyway! What was this jury thinking? The whole trial was based on no evidence, no investigation, and all lies! As we were leaving the courtroom the accusers and their family were laughing and patting each other on the back. Not because justice was done, but that they committed a crime, and got away with it! Two spectators in the trial said that Robert was “railroaded!”
Now for the bad part –
