Jerk-Off To Seek Jackpot Justice?

Another Scam
Another Hospital Stay

After being hospitalized on and off for the past few months with what some say was a severe case of herpes, Mark Vance Halburn is back on his back in the hospital, doing what he does best, laying around.

This time it's after a "slip and fall" in a South Carolina grocery store where he broke his leg.



Halburn has long dreamed of a big lawsuit settlement, total disability, or both. He 's been salivating for years over the thoughts of extorting a large sum out of a business and collecting a disability check.

It's going to be hard to do once a defense lawyer sees this admission:

"Surgery slippers"

That's right, Halburn went shopping in those socks with the rubber dots the hospital gave him during his last stay.

He was wearing socks. In a grocery store.
Not even his normal cheap Chinese flip flops. Not slippers. SOCKS.

Kiss your payout goodbye, shitbird. Their insurance company will be sure to point out your contributory negligence with this since those aren’t fucking SHOES.

He's keeping his eyes on the prize though.

The fucker breaks his leg and needs surgery but he's still complaining that they were out of what he wanted.

Always.

If this guy worked as hard at working as he did at getting permanent total disability and a jackpot justice claim, he would be a productive member of society.

Fourth Time Is Not a Charm

Here's Your Fucking Decision, Fatboy

Mark Vance Halburn has been whining all summer about the WV Supreme Court taking a "three month vacation", but when it started its fall term on Sept 4, they proved they hadn't been sitting on the beach, taking it easy.

Mark Vance Halburn

One of its first decisions is a doozy. In what could possibly be one of the longest memorandum decisions that the court has ever written,  Halburn has been given another devastating kick to his shriveled nuts.

That's right, Halburn.
A new Court and we're still laughing at you, bitch!

If readers thought the original order and the first Supreme court decision in this case were something, wait'll you get a load of this.

The case involves his never ending appeals of his divorce case, which began in 2013.
First he appealed the final order to Circuit Court, where he got no relief.
Then he took it to the WV Supreme Court where he lost again.

After that, he was prohibited from personally (pro se)  filing any civil actions. They can now only be filed by a lawyer.

He continued to show his ass. He filed numerous motions against the court, calling judges names and making irrational demands.

in March 2016, the original Family Court Judge, Michael Kelly, retired.
The new judge, Sabrina Deskins, ordered Halburn to not post any information about his case on social media. He ignored that and began harassing her and the guardian ad litem.
She lasted about eight months before she was replaced.

In March 2017, the case was assigned to Judge Patricia Keller. From the beginning, she showed that she would take no shit from the fat domestic terrorist.

Family Court Judge Patricia Keller

Halburn immediately began a campaign of intimidation and harassment against the Judge and the new guardian ad litem who was appointed to safeguard the child's best interests.

On November 7, 2017, Judge Keller entered a sixty-four page order, which is what this appeal is all about.

In it, she detailed the seven false reports that Halburn anonymously filed with Child Protective Services, his disruption of a local church camp that his son attended, and his campaign of intimidation and harassment against her and the guardian ad litem.

The Judge ordered:

• Halburn is to have no contact with his son until such time that he undertakes 18 months of continuous progress in mental health treatment.

• He cannot be arrested, or uncooperative with his therapist.

• He cannot have copies of the video or audio recordings of the family court hearings or a copy of the guardian ad litem's report

• He cannot publish any pleadings, guardian ad litem reports, videos or recordings of the private matters  in this case.

• He must stop making irrational or impossible requests.

• He cannot file any pro se pleadings

•  Any frivolous and nonsensical filings are subject to sanctions.

• Halburn must post a $2,500.00 bond with his next filing so that his second ex-wife can hire an attorney

• He is barred from the Cabell County Family Court

• A restraining order was issued against him on behalf of the GAL

• He was ordered to stop all forms of harassment of  the ex-wife,  her husband, friends, etc.

• He is prohibited against making public disparagement in print, posting any information on the internet, or via social media.

• He shall cease filing reports with Child Protective Services. His previous reports were all false and made only to harass. used to harass

And of course, he immediately appealed THAT ruling. That appeal was denied as well, with the judge in that case writing:

"An appeal of  a circuit court ruling from January 26, 2018, "the circuit court affirmed the family court’s (Judge Keller) order and found it to be “the most thorough, detailed, comprehensive, and well-written order the [court] has ever encountered, and the [court] just commenced his twenty-eighth (28th) year on the [b]ench.”"

And now the West Virginia Supreme Court has ruled. AGAIN.

"(Halburn) is entitled to his day in court, but he is not entitled to waste the courts’ valuable time and resources with frivolous pleadings and arguments. Additionally, when those frivolous pleadings and arguments rightfully fail, he is likewise not entitled to engage in outrageous, abusive speech made with the goal of pushing judges and court officers to remove themselves from his case so that he can raise the frivolous arguments anew with a replacement judge or court officer. (Halburn's) actions have resulted in lost time and resources, including the necessity of appointing at least three special family court judges, one special circuit court judge, and two guardians ad litem. The time has come to say, “Enough.”

(Halburn's) "referrals and calls to CPS were false, designed to harass respondent, and a form of child abuse that “in itself can be the basis to modify a parenting plan.”

And then the bottom line of this entire matter.

"The voluminous record in this case clearly shows that petitioner has repeatedly demonstrated he places his own need for conflict above the needs of his minor son."

Halburn makes this case all about HIMSELF. To him, his son is nothing more than a weapon to be used against the latest targets of his ire and a prop used to elicit sympathy from his fawning audience of malcontents and losers.

This asshole is so self centered he can’t understand that the reason he’s not allowed to “publish” his videos and records or whatever is because they’re harmful to his child. Nah. His reaction is, "Fuck the kid. MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS A VERY IMPORTANT JOURNALIST COME FIRST!"

By the time this is all over he'll be screaming, "Rush to judgement! The new court session just started! They rushed to issue this ruling because I criticized them!"

Read the entire ruling and see the lunacy for yourself.
Res ipsa loquitor.

Halburn Loses Again

In a unanimous memorandum decision in the case of State of WV v. Mark Halburn, issued on April 15, the West Virginia Supreme Court has handed Mark Vance Halburn yet another loss. This makes Halburn's third loss before that body.

That's right Halburn. You lose again.
All new court, but we're still laughing at you, bitch.

And it's basically a NO SOUP FOR YOU, no oral argument decision for him. They didn't even need to hear his decrepit lawyer's presentation.

Halburn was convicted by a Putnam County jury in 2017 of violating a personal protective order granted to Dr. Joseph Matusic.
He appealed the conviction to Circuit Court, where it had to be heard in Cabell County, due to all the judges in Putnam County recusing themselves. Cabell Circuit Judge Paul Farrell affirmed the ruling from magistrate court.

His aggument for appeal is the same old litany of excuses that Halburn always trots out.
"I can do whatever I want. I'm the news media."
"My 14th Amendment rights were violated."

All pretty much what was expected.
No, jerkoff, your First Amendment rights weren't violated.
The First Amendment does not give members of the press immunity from criminal prosecution for criminal acts.

Halburn's excuse seems to be, "But WOWK went onto his property. I can too."
As Matusic testified, "I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.'

The hilarious thing in all this is how many times a court has told him in multiple ways that he's not media.

Halburn argued that Cpl. Johnson’s violated his 14th Amendment rights because Johnson failed to interview him before seeking an arrest warrant.
Cpl. Johnson had probable cause to  arrest Halburn based on Dr. Matusic’s statement and the pictures Dr. Matusic took Halburn sitting in his car in Dr. Matusic’s driveway.  All the deputy would have gotten from Halburn is lies and bullshit. He doesn't have to hear a criminal's story before he gets a warrant.

For these reasons and others, the Court affirmed the Circuit Court's decision.

Dangerous Driver Disregards Directions

Matthew Quintin-Joseph Benincosa claims Mark Vance Halburn was responsible for an accident on I-64 near Nitro that left him injured on December 5, 2016. Halburn allegedly failed to obey traffic signs and warning marks in a construction zone.

Mark Vance Halburn

Halburn is a notoriously careless driver.  He has a long string of traffic citations, mostly for speeding, some for twice the speed limit in a residential area. He has also been ticketed for driving an unsafe vehicle and disregarding traffic signs. He was even involved in an accident due to his inattentiveness in 2013 while his son was in the car. Some say he was texting and hit the divider wall on I-64.

Halburn had 9 points on his WV license when he surrendered it in late 2018.

It's unknown if Halburn has actually been served in this matter since he now lives in South Carolina.

In the past, it wouldn't do any good to sue the fat bastard since he had no assets. Now, however, he is the proud owner of a house.

Smile! You're Not On Churchy Camera

Area Criminal Doesn't Count On Background Check

In September Mark Halburn was shopping for a church. One where he could go in, throw his weight around, and impress everyone with how media savvy he was.

On December 10 Halburn wrote:
"The great news is I found a great church where I've joined the video crew. The bad news is that I didn't get to go, today, because they canceled services because of a sever storm forecast that ended up being moderate rain... Not a single snowflake in our area!"

On December 26 things seemed to take a turn for the worse.

Sounds like Halburn didn’t count on his new church’s “video ministry team” or whatever doing background checks like they do in real places.

Lost your papers is shorthand for "You're not going to get the job because of your background."
Most people take the hint.
He clearly failed the background check and now is demanding to know why.

And they’re just sort of ghosting him on it.

Then, on January 25th another vaguebook post. It's clear he misses Topix.

Protect My Ministry is a company that serves churches by offering national criminal database searches for volunteers and employees. If the applicant has no record, it's reported instantly. For serial offenders like Halburn the task is a little more complicated.

If there is a hit on the records, there is a 24-48 hour process of re-verification, in which the county courthouse records are updated to the national criminal database records, prior to sending results back.

Prior to sending national background results to their clients, they verify the accuracy of the information by thoroughly reviewing every positive record hit returned from the national criminal & sex offender database. These records are “frozen” for further investigation at the county courthouse.

 Records are first validated based on whether or not they positively match the applicant’s identity. This prevents false positives, which can happen when doing national database searches. They also filter out un-reportable records such as. parking tickets.

A background check can be as little as a one-county check or as in-depth as a security clearance investigation. Public and private records can be searched once the applicant gives his consent.

Typically, their turnaround time on submitted requests is typically the same day to 48 hours.

A final report from Protect My Ministry includes the following:

    Case numbers
    File Dates
    Complete description of charges
    Sentencing information
    Disposition and dates
    Cases with multiple charges will be fully explained

For Halburn, that's going to be a long list.

How shit of a person do you have to be to be turned down by a church as a volunteer? Better find another church that doesn't care about the safety of its members, fatboy.

Dismissed!

Losing Loser Loses Again

Mark Vance Halburn's case in Nicholas Co. was dismissed with prejudice today, December 4, 2018, when the fat son of a bitch failed to appear for a hearing.


 
This was nothing more than Halburn once again trying to use the legal system to harass his enemies.

Everyone involved had to hire an attorney. Think of all the money that has been wasted in this.  And that's what he wants. He wants everyone involved to spend money because they have it and he never will.

Mark Vance Halburn Wanted By Dunbar PD

Allegedly Stole Cans From Recycling Center

An ex-Putnam County man is on the run waddle and the Dunbar Police Department is asking for your help to put him back behind bars.

Mark Vance Halburn

 
Halburn is accused of stealing numerous bags of aluminum cans from the city's recycling center on Charles Avenue in Dunbar and then fleeing.

Dunbar City Garage and Recycling Center

On Friday, December 22, 2017, Lt. Michael Lester of the Dunbar Police Department was dispatched to the Dunbar City Garage in reference to a larceny. Upon his arrival, he spoke with a city employee who advised the officer of an issue they were having with Mark Halburn stealing recycled cans. The worker stated that he witnessed Mr. Halburn remove cans from the recycle bins, place them in his vehicle and then leave.

After that incident, the worker stated that he set up a video camera by the recycling bin. The video showed Halburn returning in his his vehicle, a silver 2001 Buick LeSabre, WV license 4VV 367. He then exited his vehicle and placed at least three more bags of cans into the vehicle and drove off. This was all viewed by the officer who then swore out a warrant against Halburn.
There may also be an unnamed accomplice.

A warrant was issued for the following charge:

§61-3-13-b Petit Larceny

Halburn is currently on probation for a stalking conviction in Putnam County.

If you see Halburn, do not approach him. Instead, immediately, telephone 911. You can also call the Dunbar Police Department at 304-766-0204.

CashIn Recyclables pays $0.50/lb for aluminum cans. A full trash bag weighs about 5 pounds.

Halburn committed this crime for less than $25.
If this fucker worked half as hard at a real job as he does trying to scam money, he'd be rich.

This will definitely violate his probation in Putnam County. Should be interesting to see how he tries to spin this shit.
Between this,  him begging for money on GoFundMe, and moving in with his girlfriend sugar mama and her parents, Halburn has hit rock bottom now.

Summer Camp Follies

Halburn’s Harassment Goes Too Far
Loses Visitation With Son

So, what’s Mark Vance Halburn’s vendetta against the Nazarene Church all about?
Here’s a partial explanation.

West Virginia Nazarene Camp in Summersville

Law enforcement sources tell PutnamLIES.com that Halburn’s son attended a church camp in Summersville run by the Nazarene Church last June.
Shortly before the camp got underway, Halburn found out the boy would be attending camp there, and began harassing the camp operators relentlessly.
He started publicly on May 27 by asking on his Facebook page: “FB friends: Would you allow your child to attend a church camp, in less than a month, that was cited for 15 violations, by its county health department, a few days ago?”
Nice overuse of commas, by the way, from a so-called professional writer.

He wasn’t worried about the condition of the camp or concerned for the campers. It was just another one of his attempts to harass, abuse, control, and punish his second ex-wife by preventing his son from attending that camp.

He complained non-stop that the camp had health code violations. He actually went to the camp on June 2 and met with an inspector for the Nicholas County Health Department there.
Were there violations? Yes. Minor violations like peeling paint, burned out light bulbs, and missing mulch on the playground. The inspection was made a month BEFORE THE CAMP EVEN OPENED and all violations were corrected before it opened.
It’s a CHURCH CAMP, not a Hilton resort.

On June 15, a hearing was held in Cabell County and over Halburn’s objections, the mother was granted the right to send the boy to camp.
Once the camp started, the harassment increased.
Halburn inundated the camp director with texts.
The director finally texted Halburn telling him he was not allowed on camp grounds.
But on Wednesday, June 21, Halburn returned to the camp anyway. At that point, HE called the Sheriff’s Department and demanded they help him get to the boy.
When they arrived, they escorted him onto the camp grounds. Because the police brought him onto property, he was not trespassing.
Halburn’s plans were unknown.  What did exactly he want? To see the boy? To talk to him? To kidnap him? It was unclear.

Think of how embarrassing it would be for a 9 year old to have his 400 pound, sweating bully of a dad barge into his camp with a police escort demanding to see you where you’re with other kids. This poor little boy will have to live with this for the rest of his life.
Despite his efforts, Halburn was not allowed to see the boy and was was escorted off the property.
Shortly thereafter, a protective order was issued in Cabell County.
The kicker here?

It wasn’t the Nazarene Church that got the order.
The DVP was issued to the mother on behalf of the son.
It states Halburn cannot directly or indirectly contact his second ex-wife or the boy.
It has since been extended.
The Dad of the Year has not seen the boy since late June.

However, Halburn has had it in for the Nazarene Church for much longer. It could be connected to his Matusic obsession as well.
Dr. Matusic tells that part of the story:
“My ex-wife’s Winfield Daycare was scheduled to move into the Teays Valley Nazarene Church on Teays Valley road in August of 2013. Mr. Halburn’s child was still enrolled at the daycare. When Mr. Halburn found out where we were moving, he called many of the church board’s members and threatened to sue them if they allowed our daycare to move to their church. The church board then terminated our lease, effectively closing that daycare.”

Halburn even posted video of him going to that church to harass them about it.

Three months later Halburn attempted an explanation for his actions concerning the camp .

“I run a news site. I do kitchen inspections. I did one on a Nazarene camp where they sent my son.
I’ve done it on many camps and 280 locations I’ve done kitchen inspections on. The health department does them. I just report the facts.

The camp had 15 violations which is about 3 times what other camps have had. And I met with a health department administrator by appointment, Next thing I know they’re falsely accusing me of taking pictures of the girl’s dorm.
One, I didn’t take pictures. two, I (unintelligble). and three, there were no girls because the camp wasn’t even in session for two and a half weeks later. But yet they went ahead and lied and said that I did that. We have an affidavit from the health department administrator saying I didn’t take pictures. None of this matters to the court. All they say is well you can’t see your son.”

Except Halburn DID take pictures at the Camp on his June 2 visit.

One of the pictures of the camp Halburn claims he didn’t take.

And oddly enough, Halburn NEVER previously reported about any camp inspections until AFTER his vendetta against the Nazarene Camp began.

What kind of asshole harasses a church and its leadership ?
It’s not their fault this godless heathen’s obsession with his blog, his vendettas against virtually everyone, and his abuse of his second ex-wife destroyed his marriage.
It’s not their fault that he had almost no visitation and now has NO visitation.
That’s ALL on him and his aberrant behavior.

It’s your fault Halburn. All of it.
You walked away from your family through your actions and bad decisions.
How’s that crusading journalist bullshit working out for you now?

HALBURN ORDERED TO GET PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT!!!

Matusic’s Stalker Walks, But…

Found guilty by a jury of his peers for stalking Charleston pediatrician Dr. Joseph Matusic and his family, Mark Vance Halburn was sentenced today in Magistrate Linda Hunt’s courtroom.
Halburn gets 90 days jail time suspended, and TWO YEARS PROBATION (unsupervised). Court ordered psychiatric counseling. No fine, only court costs of $1182.70 payable within 6 months.
Here are the details:
Halburn was originally sentenced to 1 year in prison, until the prosecutor pointed out the maximum under the law he violated is 90 days for first offense.
So he got 90 days, suspended for 2 years while under probation. So in essence Matusic gets an extended 2 year personal safety order and Halburn must keep his nose clean for that period.
During the probation, Halburn can’t:

• Violate ANY law of any state.
• Possess, drink or associate with anyone drinking alcohol or other intoxicant, meaning if his sugar mama Barbara has a glass of wine or a beer at diner, he violates the order.
• Visit any establishment whose primary business involves alcohol,  that does not include a restaurant that serves alcohol, because that is not the primary business.
• Associate with any disreputable person, I guess Suxt0n is included in that!
• Have any weapon.
• Have any contact, direct or indirect, or cause anyone else to contact Matusic or a family member, including adults (usually PSOs don’t include other adults, just minors).

AND THE BEST PART IS:  Halburn has been ordered to see a psychiatrist every 2 weeks for 2 years or until released, with biweekly reports going to the court.
If he violates any of these terms, he immediately goes to jail for 90 days.
Halburn has filed a motion to dismiss, motion to vacate, motion motion and appeal. BUT the appeal can only be based on errors in the original jury trial. No errors, no new trial. It will be denied.

PutnamLIES.com urges anyone who spots Halburn violating any of these conditions to send us pictures as proof of the violation.
There’s no way on God’s gray earth that this fat bastard can keep his nose clean for two years.
We will have more details as they become available.

Halburn Faces Justice

Thursday, October 12th at 2:30 pm is the new date for the sentencing of Mark Vance Halburn. Hope Barbara doesn’t have any more fucking appointments
Come to the Putnam County Courthouse and take part in the festivities.

Halburn Pussies Out

Convicted Stalker Gets Temporary Reprieve



Scared shitless and desperate to do anything to delay going to jail, Mark Vance Halburn’s has managed to get his sentencing, scheduled for tomorrow, delayed. Supposedly because of a “family medical issue”. Which is bullshit because Halburn has no family in the entire state.

He’s talking about Barbara, the woman who he’s currently leeching off of.. They’re not married, so she’s not family.  Shacked up sugar mamas don’t count in the eyes of the law.
Legally she’s an just another unrelated person. It’s like “My neighbor is having surgery.”
Too bad.
 
Appointments like this aren’t just scheduled yesterday. Those are typically made weeks or months in advance.
So why didn’t he mention it three weeks ago? They had to adjust for everyone else when they set the date. It’s bullshit.
Whatever evidence he may have provided to prove the illness was probably fabricated. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s done it.

She’s not sick or he’d be looking for sympathy on Facebook from his audience of flying monkeys, sycophants, and fellow disaffected dads. The last time she had an “episode”  it was all he talked about.  Endless updates about her condition, tests, prayer requests, etc.. The past several days? Crickets.

All this does is delay the inevitable.  You’re going to jail, Halburn, Delaying it isn’t going to make the sentence any shorter. This isn’t going away. You can’t run and you can’t hide.

No word when the sentencing will be rescheduled. He will have to wait until after he’s sentenced if he wants to appeal

GUILTY!!!

Silver Bracelets For…

MARK VANCE HALBURN

A PutnamLIES.com/Trash Bloggers Alliance Exclusive


After a 3 1/2 hour trial today in Putnam County magistrate court, Mark Vance Halburn was was found guilty of violating a personal safety order issued against him on behalf of Dr Joe Matusic.
It took the jury just 10 minutes to return a guilty verdict.

The day began when Halburn arrived at the courthouse and started barking out orders to his attorney, Christopher Butch. The first thing he did was hand him a piece of paper and said, “These are questions for you to ask me.”
He then sat in the waiting area and prayed out loud for the jury to understand that he had the wrong address.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.” Matthew 6:5

He also brought his Sugar Mama, Barbara, for support. And to go to his car and get his root beer that he needed.

Babs is fascinated by the newfangled cellular telephone.

Once in court, Halburn’s ancient attorney Christopher Butch appeared clueless and shook the whole time. But that was OK because Halburn seemed to run the whole show, sitting back in his chair like he owned the place, telling his attorney what to do and say, shoving papers at him the entire time and whispering to him every minute or so. The poor guy couldn’t keep his concentration because of it.  To the point where Halburn was told by the judge several times to be quiet and the prosecuting attorney asked “Which one of these men is counsel”?
It was a cut and dried case.

In his opening statement Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Lawson told the jury there were only two things to remember. There is a protection order, and that Mark Vance Halburn went to the home. The rest you hear, he said, is just smoke and mirrors meant to distract.

Lawson entered the order as exhibit 1, then a Google Earth shot of the Matusic property showing how you can’t see the house from Peach Ridge because the driveway is about a quarter of a mile long,

Exhibit 2: View of Matusic’s driveway from Peach Ridge Road

then pictures of the three no trespassing/ private property signs Halburn passed coming up the driveway, then a picture of the mailbox with large reflective numbers on it, and lastly a photo of Halburn’s car in Matusic’s driveway.

Exhibit 4 – Halburn driving his car up Dr. Matusic’s driveway

The red marker indicates the location of Halburn’s car in the picture above

Magistrate Linda Hunt accepted them all into evidence and they were shown to the jury.

The Prosecution called just one witness. Dr. Joseph Matusic.

Dr. Matusic did an excellent job on the stand.
He testified to the long term harassment and stalking by Halburn.
He explained about the pictures of Halburn’s car taken in the driveway.
The defense tried to bring up a lot of crap such as “Halburn is a local reporter and was going to get pictures” and “Why did you let Channel 13 on your property and not Halburn when he was just doing his job?”
The simple answer given was, “I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.”

At that point the prosecution rested its case.

The defendant's first witness was Putnam County Sheriff Deputy Shawn Johnson who testified that he went and took the report, went to the courthouse to verify the protection order and also spoke with Hurricane Fire Department.

Next, when Halburn took the stand they couldn’t shut him up. He would elaborate on anything and everything and talk and talk. The magistrate called him down multiple times because he would drone on and on. She finally said, “Just answer the questions”!
The answer to “did you go on to this property” isn’t a 15 minute response.

Halburn claimed he  had an email of the broadcast text sent to him by someone who worked (supposedly) at one of the television stations that he tried to enter as evidence. Magistrate Linda Hunt shut that down quickly. He wasn’t allowed to enter any of his material as evidence.  The look on his face was priceless when he had to come to terms with the fact that nobody cared about his mountain of useless, irrelevant and inadmissible evidence.

Halburn repeatedly tried to bring in what everyone told him on the phone and persisted with it.  The Prosecutor’s objections for hearsay were sustained every single time.

Then the lies started.

Halburn lied and said that he got lost and turned onto a public road. Except it was a driveway with no road sign on it, a mailbox clearly marked with large reflective numbers and THREE no trespassing signs.  He then drove up a 1/4 mile driveway to a house that can’t be seen from the road.

This shows the distance Halburn had to travel up the Matusic’s driveway.

Halburn had to make a conscious effort to go out Peach Ridge Road. It isn’t on the way to anywhere. He intended to go there. It’s not a thruway or side street. He drove 2 miles out a road that goes nowhere. Halburn knew exactly where the Doctor lives.

The route Halburn took to the house.

But he wants a jury to believe that an address that was clearly on a document he was served with was one he didn’t know.
And that he just made a mistake.

He can’t stop at someone’s house, ask if that’s Matusic’s property and then make the choice to continue to the property and call it an accident. If it was “an accident,” when the person told him it was Matusic’s property he would have turned around and gone home.

He continued to lie and said he was at the bottom of the driveway, except the Prosecution had pictures showing he was at the top of the driveway.
Lawson did a great job of tripping up Halburn’s defense on numerous inconsistencies, such as Halburn stating that he was given a wrong address from Hurricane Fire Department. The house number was on the mailbox at the main road and it is the same as was on the protection order. So that claim was disproved quickly.

Halburn tried to say he never came up the driveway and was nowhere near the house, but when shown the photos of his car at the top of the driveway, he admitted that it was his car.
Halburn continued to use his lame excuse that he was given the wrong address and he was there to take pictures for his news website because he is a “News Reporter.”, He got called out on that by Lawson who pointed out that it’s already been decided by the courts that it is a blog. At that point, Halburn slung his fat ass back in the chair until it looked like it was going to tip over.

On several occasions Magistrate Linda Hunt actually rolled her eyes at Halburn’s statements.

Halburn told the jury that Matusic followed him and therefore that negated the intent of the order.
The jury obviously thought that was just more of Halburn’s bullshit.

Halburn also wanted the jury to believe that Matusic called the police after Halburn blatantly violated the third personal safety order issued against him because Matusic was somehow trying to affect a motion to a family court judge that Halburn filed weeks earlier for sole custody of his son.

At one point, Halburn told his attorney to have Matusic’s fiancee thrown out for “Witness Intimidation.” Halburn’s sugar mama told the judge the fiancee was talking and helping out during the trial.

The jurors were buying none of it.
The surprising thing is that they could actually find six people that didn’t already have an opinion of him.

Then the verdict came in and the words people have been waiting years to hear were read.
“We the jury be unanimously agreed to find the defendant, Mark Vance Halburn, guilty of a misdemeanor offense of violation a personal safety order. So say we all”

Halburn’s lawyer then asked about the sentencing.When asked by Magistrate Hunt if he wanted to do sentencing today, Butch said he didn’t  bring his calendar.
She said “We can do sentencing today if you want.”
Butch asked, “Is he going to be sent to jail today?
And then the real laugher came out.
Butch says, “We would ask that you suspend any sentence your honor.”
Hunt asked, “You mean suspend any sentence?”
Butch meant suspend it permanently.
The State then asked for sentencing to take place immediately, but Butch asked for 3 weeks.
They rambled back and forth for several minutes before settling on September 21 for Halburn’s sentencing.

Then Halburn and his entourage of lawyer and sugar mama shuffled out of the courthouse and to the parking lot.

Halburn and his party doing the walk of shame.

But before he left, Mr Environmental Consciousness dumped some trash from his car/pigpen into the parking lot before he pulled out.

Can you believe this guy? Who keeps their car this filthy?

Fatlock asking for a jury trial has bitten him in the ass appeal-wise. He fucked himself on this one.


Here is a little known fact of the legal system. Halburn chose a jury trial thinking he could trash his victim that much more or he chose a jury trial because no sane judge would believe any of his rants. Anyhow, if you have a bench trial with a judge, and you appeal, then you get an entire new trial at no expense.
Halburn lied about his “businesses” and other sources of income in order to get a court appointed lawyer for his criminal contempt trial so that wouldn’t have been any skin off his nose.
But if he wants to appeal a jury trial, he can only appeal on errors that may have arisen during the jury trial. He will not get a new trial, only an opinion from a judge about any errors. AND he must pay thousands in court costs for the appeal. That’s money he does not have.

We should not make fun of nor torment the mentally ill.
Mark Halburn is an exception because he is the kind of mentally ill that is not bad enough to be in an institution, not mild enough for him to seek effective treatment and irritating enough to his fellow countrymen to piss off just about everyone he interacts with. Halburn is a blowhard and a bully who uses his “intelligence” and gifts of literary skills to extort local businesses out of some semblance of an income. Anyone who encounters Halburn can pretty quickly figure out that his elevator does not quite go to the top floor, but most also see that he is more the kind to post slanderous things than take physical action.

We all watch the news, we all see events where mass trauma and murder have been committed by the mentally ill. People whom others knew were dangerous, but had not quite committed enough to get them either incarcerated or helped before they hurt and killed others. Mr Halburn appears to fit into that category of pathology. We never know when Mr Halburn is going to go the next step but we should all be prepared for the day that happens and take appropriate action when it does. But until then, lets hope Halburn learns from this experience, hope that Halburns new cell mates can help him see the error of his ways, hope that Halburn’s sugar mama/girlfriend/ fiance Barbara is a good influence on him and calms the demons inside him even though she empties bedpans for a living and seems as dim witted as Halburn.. God knows his two ex-wives were never able to do anything.

But anyone who interacts with him should also remember this statement from his court ordered mental evaluation:
“Mr. Halburn’s psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”

Mental illness often has patterns and cycles and Halburn’s now appears to be on the escalation phase.
In June, he was sentenced in Kanawha County to 6 months in jail for harassing WCHS Radio and the Mayor of Charleston. While awaiting this trial, he trespassed at a church camp and has a personal safety order from that incident which prevents him from seeing his own son. In the weeks after that, he visited several churches of the same denomination and left flyers on worshipers’ cars while they were attending church services.

Halburn will be sentenced on September 21 at 2:30pm. The State will ask for the maximum sentence of 90 days.

It would be better than jail for him to do the time in a mental hospital.
Actual incarceration isn’t going to fix his problem.
He needs to be involuntarily committed.

Substantial Penalty For Early Withdrawal

Last weekend PutnamLIES.com saw several postings on the internet trailer park, Topix, all having to do with Mark Halburn and City National Bank.

Here’s one of them:
“Hey Halburn, why did City National cancel all of your bank accounts? Were you overdrafting too much? Did it hurt your feelings when they laughed at you when you said you were getting an attorney? They know you can’t afford an attorney and they know that no attorney would take your case even if you could. It’s not worth it. So you are in your mid 50’s and not only do you not have a retirement but you also do not have a checking account.
Yeah you are a great example for the kid. I guess Donnie can show him how to open a savings account.”



Those posts were pretty much proven to be true today when Halburn went to the City National Bank branch on Poplar Fork in Teays Valley and started raising hell and screaming at the employees. So much so that they hit the hold up alarm. Halburn was still there when the Putnam County deputies arrived and he was told in no uncertain terms not to come back or he would be arrested for trespassing.

Guess that failing hate blog and his sub-minimum wage income aren’t working out too well for him.

Congressman Trouble

After Halburn left the Social Security office last week, he went to Congressman Alex Mooney's Charleston office and demanded that they step in to get him his sons Social Security card. 

Mooney's office is located at 405 Capitol Street

He was told that they'd try to look into it, but there might not be much they could do. Halburn then demanded that Mooney himself call him no later then 5pm. Hallburn was told that Congress was out and that everyone had gone home. 
Later, Hallburn called back again and he was turned him over to the boss who asked Hallburn if Hallburn was threatening him, (Hallburn was) and in so many words, basically told Hallburn to get fucked.

Then the asshole called the DC office and tried to run his shit on them. After he was rude and abusive to them, they called Capitol police. Sent his mugshot to them. You don't fuck with federal employees, especially with his background.  The Capitol Police and FBI are now well aware of Halburn and are investigating.

Both the Capitol Police and the FBI are investigating

They have his number now and I have a feeling his name is "on the list".

It appears that he wants the kid's Social Security card so he can use it for Social Security goodies.

He's also upset that the paltry child support he pays is not tax deductible. He calls it The Child Support Penalty. He's angry that recipients of child support pay no taxes on it, but also get to deduct the child as an income tax credit.  He has been harassing Mooney's office about this as well.

That's how it works, fatass.
The child support is for the child. The tax deduction is for the person who has custody of the child.
In your case, that's NOT you.

Halburn Loses Before Supreme Court Again

The big fat loser loses again.

That's right, Halburn. We're laughing at you again, bitch!

Mark Vance Halburn's parenting plan will not be modified.

He will however have to pay $1000 in sanctions to the Family court for filing frivolous motions.


Halburn wanted permanent custody of his child or substantially more visitation and the freedom to take the kid out of state. The child's mother wanted Halburn's visitation restricted to supervised visitation.

He lost.
Again.

Here are the highlights.

CUSTODY
 
The Court wrote:

"In their original 2013 order The Court affirmed the family court’s order directing Halburn not to take the child from the State of West Virginia..The Court noted petitioner’s diagnosis of personality disorder and determined that the family court properly “recognized and emphasized that there exists potential for grave harm to this child” when he is in Halburn’s care given petitioner’s “confirmed propensity for interpersonal conflict.” 

"A court shall modify a parenting plan order if it finds, on the basis of facts that were not known or have arisen since the entry of the prior order and were not anticipated therein, that a substantial change has occurred in the circumstances of the child or of one or both parents and a modification is necessary to serve the best interests of the child."

"To show that such a substantial change in circumstances occurred—i.e., Halburn is now better able to control his personality disorder and resulting behavior— Halburn presented the testimony of two witnesses. Both witnesses admitted that the information they had about the parties’ case and Halburn’s conduct came solely from Halburn, which the family court found diminished their credibility. As the family court noted, Halburn’s psychologist “specifically declined to give any recommendation regarding the expansion of Halburn’s time with his son.”

They didn't believe Halburn or his witnesseses.
NO modification of visitation or custody

SANCTIONS

The family court found that “Halburn has clogged the courts with frivolous, harassing, offensive and impossible demands and has exhibited little to no self-control. He has made a number of impossible-to-achieve and nonsensical requests and demands of the Family Court and this Court during the course of these proceedings.”

The family court  sanctioned Halburn on two prior occasions. He was sanctioned $250 for the first incident and $500 for the second incident. He kept on filing motions.
After he filed a tenth disqualification motion that was denied, the family court sanctioned him in the amount of $1,000.

The Supreme Court determined that the family court implemented a graduated scale for sanctioning Halburn. They found that to be proper and concluded that the family court did not abuse its discretion in sanctioning Halburn in the amount of $1,000.

Pay up motherfucker.

The DYING GRANDMOTHER

Halburn complains that the family court improperly restricted his examination of his witnesses by preventing him from asking questions that contradicted statements made in an email Halburn sent in 2012.

Halburn lies that the email either never existed or was fabricated.


The family court ruled at the hearing that the fact that the email DID exist and contradicted the basis for certain of petitioner’s questions.

Fatboy loves to whine that the judge somehow kept his son from seeing his grandmother. He conveniently ignores his words from that email that the court quoted in the final divorce order.

He told his self serving side of the story on his blog. Read the real story from the WV Supreme Court's memo.

"However, the day prior to filing his emergency motion, Mr. Halburn emailed his wife that "My mom is too far gone for (the son) to visit her now. She is incoherent and might scare him. Unless something changes we have missed the wonderful opportunity for him to see his grandmother and for her to enjoy him."

The Court concluded that during the December 18, 2014, hearing, the family court properly prevented Halburn from asking questions that contradicted statements made in the 2012 email.
