RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
AND MOTION TO DISMISS
COMES NOW the Respondent herein, Kay Baum, elected Newton County Clerk,
by and through her attorney, Greg R. Bridges, elected Prosecuting
Attorney for Newton County, Missouri, and for their response styled as
above, would state and show the Court as follows:
RESPONSE TO PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
1.While Relator did provide to Newton County Clerk, Kay Baum certain
forms filled out pursuant to 115.377 RSMo, Relator did not meet the
deadlines for filing outlined in said Section; to wit: Section 115.373
RSMo and Section 115.375 RSMo. As a consequence, Relator did not timely
file for the office which he seeks, and his name cannot be placed on
the ballot.
2. Relator demands relief pursuant to Section 115.333 (1) RSMo.
However, Section 115.333 does not apply to the instant situation, since
Relator did not file petitions or declarations pursuant to Sections
115.325 RSMo and 115.327 RSMo. As a consequence, Relator is not entitled
to the relief outlined in Section 115.333.
MOTION TO DISMISS
In consideration of the aforementioned, since Relator has not properly
filed pursuant to Sections 115.325 RSMo and made declaration pursuant
to 1 l5.327 RSMo, Relator is thus not entitled to the relief of the
extraordinary remedy of mandamus as outlined in Section I I5.333 RSMo.
As a consequence, the Respondent respectfully requests that the Court
dismiss Relator's Petition for Writ of Mandamus since he lacks standing
to pursue said remedy.
Respectfully submitted,
-s-

Comments: This shows the inherent corruption possibilities between dishonest, corrupt County Prosecutors saving the political bacon of incumbent Sheriffs by presenting dishonest legal briefs to corrupt County judges eager to be fooled by this procedure.
This criminal conspiracy between prosecutor, judge and law enforcement shows the degradation of of the justice system. Prosecutor misquotes the law in order to protect sheriff from political competition to a judge who used to be a prosecutor. The judge echoes the lies used by the prosecutor, says he has looked at the whole law (which he hasn't), and makes a ruling helping out the third leg of the Newton County injustice mill, the sheriff.
This incestuous arrangement has doubtless been used before and will again. The net result: People improperly imprisoned and the enrichment and empowerment of the current status quo.
Understand this: Greg Bridges is supposed to be a Prosecuting Attorney of Newton County. If he will misquote the law over this matter, will he not perjure himself to kidnap and murder under color of law both innocent and guilty in other matters? How can any trust be restored to the system? Should there be any trust to a system which allows individuals like Lawyer Bridges and Judge Perigo to hold power while trusting them to do right? What should be done to these individuals when they betray that trust? What Lawyer Bridges did in misquoting the law was to bear false witness under color of his authority position. He of all people cannot use ignorance of the law as an excuse.
This action was filed as a learning and teaching experience to show the cowardice, corruption, and dishonesty of the legal, judicial, and electorial government systems in Missouri. They have not disappointed me. They have performed as expected.
