JAILHOUSE SNITCH GARY WAYNE HARRIS RECANTS HIS LYING TESTIMONY
Orange County Texas DA John D Kimbrough could possibly be the next disgraced and dethroned prosecutor. In a meeting of the three in Kimbrough's office on or about December 15, 1997, according to Gary Wayne Harris' recant, Kimbrough's Investigator, Mark Ellis, told snitch Gary Wayne Harris, "I want you to say something at the end (when he would testify against Danny Meehan) that'll put a cap on your testimony."
128th DISTRICT COURT JUDGE PATRICK ALLEN CLARK IS PICTURED HERE
Harris continues that Ellis said, "I want you to look straight at the jury and tell them that Danny (Meehan) told you that he told her, that if he couldnt have her, if she couldnt stay with him then nobody else could have her. And then that he shot her point blank."
According to Harris, they were making their dirty deal with him to lie on the stand to help convict Meehan. And then Harris contiues that Kimbrough said," 'We know you are in here on a parole violation and may have other charges coming...You do this for us and we will...we will help you...We know that you are waiting on an answer from your parole for a violation, Gary...We might be able to help." So, with that Harris says, "He sent me back to the cell. Uh, the next time I was brought over was for the trial, and I, trying to, the trial I think was February 2 (1998)."
A FEW DAYS LATER GARY WAYNE HARRIS WALKED FREE! the Judicial Conduct Committee needs to hear about Judge Patrick Clark who ignored and attempted to hide the set-up. Also, John D Kimbrough may join the list of dirty DA’s: Charles Sebesta (former Burleson Texas County DA), Michael McDougal (former Montgomery County Texas DA) and Chuck Rosenthal (former Harris County DA). And we can’t forget North Carolina’s Michael Nifong (who lost his law license and filed bankruptcy).
AND NOW READ THE OPEN LETTER WE SENT TO KIMBROUGH LAST YEAR GIVING HIM A CHANCE TO REDEEM HIMSELF. HE DIDN'T AND TO THIS DAY CONTINUES TO DENY, IGNORE AND BURY THE EVIDENCE.

OPEN LETTER TO
John Kimbrough, District Attorney
Orange County, Texas
jkimbrough@co.orange.tx.us
July 18, 2008
Dear Mr. Kimbrough,
I am writing with this plea on behalf of the family of Daniel Paul Meehan, whom you successfully obtained a guilty verdict and a sentence of 99 years on or about February 6, 1998.
After 10½ years of living with that terrible verdict, we have finally uncovered some terrible truths of what went down with that trial. A new Writ has been or soon will be filed with new evidence that may shake the halls of justice and will probably make national and international headlines in all the media if certain mistakes are not corrected. It will be or may already be in your hands. And you, Sir, could possibly make those corrections.
With Orange County elections on the horizon, it may be timely and solely up to you, Sir, to be the hero to correct this matter, to see the mistakes and hurriedly put things in the proper perspective, take the proper steps to free Daniel Paul Meehan and move toward bringing the real killer of Selma Pieruccini to justice. We know and you know who the prime suspect may be and the Meehan family will stop at no end to gather evidence and pursue justice in this matter.
It was unfortunate, and a huge mistake on your part, that you personally stopped any such investigation or a mention of any wrongdoing or misconduct of the insanely jealous husband of Selma Pieruccini, (Mark Pieruccini and his obvious motives and capability to kill his wife) into the Meehan trial with your opening remarks and motion regarding Mark Pieruccini in paragraph one or two in Meehan’s trial transcript. You asked the court, “that the defense counsel be prohibited from any mention of any misconduct by Mark Pieruccini or any report of misconduct by Mark Pieruccini…” All these years we wondered and asked, “why?” What was there to hide. Judge Clark then innocently asked, “Who is this person?” Judge Clark assumed there would be “no problem” with this, since the defense attorney made no objection, he granted the motion to suppress what our investigation has now turned into mountains of evidence uncovered of “misconduct by Mark Pieruccini,” and grave suspicion of his guilt in the murder of his wife by framing Daniel Meehan.
Your motion prevented the jury, the court and the public from knowing anything about the brutal 126 page Custody file and the charges by the wife against her jealous husband in Orange County and Cumberland County, PA, charges of Mark Pieruccini’s domestic violence in Judge Clark’s Court against his wife in Texas, and her requests for Restraining Orders ultimately signed by Judge Clark and Judge Clark’s Divorce file on the couple, Pieruccini’s navy and civilian background and occupation in Port Arthur, Texas as a gun and gun silencer expert, and Mark Pieruccini’s filing as Executor in his slain wife’s bogus Probate case in Orange County, whereas he presented a forged Will and false inventory only days later and cashed in on a $100,000 life insurance policy on his wife. All of this was neatly hidden from the jury.
Perhaps you knew that mention of any of these things would make Pieruccini a prime suspect, taking the spotlight off of Daniel Meehan, and casting more than reasonable doubt. And you may have decided it would wreck your weak and/or nonexistent case you attempted to build against Daniel Meehan.
However, much of the aforementioned misconduct of Mark Pieruccini, including two heavy Restraining Orders by Judge Clark, documented domestic violence against his wife, default for no show in Judge Clark’s Divorce Court, divorce and custody fighting in Pennsylvania and Texas courts, all had been occurring under the eyes of Judge Clark in his Divorce Court at the precise time of the shooting and the 10 months prior. Days before the shooting, Judge Clark had even granted temporary custody of the children to the wife from April 16, 1997 to about May 5-10, 1997, and when he learned of the Pennsylvania Custody findings after the April 23, 1997 hearing, relinquished that jurisdiction to Pennsylvania, removed reference to Custody, but issued a second Restraining Order and severe and heavy two page Temporary Injunction on Mark Pieruccini, and ordered he pay alimony to his wife.
We attest that this opening motion on your part was a tragic mistake. It appears that you badly “needed” a murder conviction with three cases on your plate and that your snitch, Gary Harris, could be planted and easily seal at least one suspect for you with his fabricated testimony, and then as part of his deal be told to go and plant false evidence on certain individuals all in exchange for you throwing out a life sentence for a third felony. The judge and the court appointed Defense Attorney, Karla Rogers, not objecting to your motion, for whatever strange reasons, knowingly or unknowingly, put the matter of any other suspects to rest, then and there, at least until now. And 10 ½ years later it seems clear why you made that motion.
Most importantly, the jury, the public and the court was in the dark about the most heinous crime of Mark Pieruccini that he got away with, which was that of kidnapping the four children, a felony of third degree in Texas. It is well documented that this act was against the will of the mother in her own sworn words. Most significant was that eight months after the Texas Amber case (Amber Alert - The system was created in Texas in 1996 after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was kidnapped, while riding her bike in Arlington, and murdered) your assistant, Mr. Bonneaux and Judge Clark lifted the first heavy Restraining Order on Mark Pieruccini.
And contrary to Mr. Bonneaux’s bold and false assertion in his opening statement to the jury, when he said, “She (Selma Pieruccini) was separated from her husband up north, and she moved down to Orange and moved in with Daniel Meehan,” it is well documented that Mark Pieruccini, the day after that Order was lifted, kidnapped the four children from their mother and drove them from Orange, Texas to Shippensburg, Pennsylvania on September 4, 1996 against the will of the mother.
Your assistant, Mr. Bonneaux was aware of this but no kidnapping charges were ever brought against Mr. Pieruccini, who then began a fierce Custody battle there, and later, about a month or two before the shooting, the wife filed for divorce in Judge Clark’s Orange, Texas court, requesting the Restraining Order to be reinstated.
Although Mr. Bonneaux and your office knew of the abduction, it is questionable whether the abduction was reported per The National Child Search Assistance Act of 1990, which requires each federal, state, and local law-enforcement agency to enter information about missing children younger than the age of 18 into the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. Judge Clark’s harsh May 5, 1997 Order on Mark Pieruccini was served on him approximately one week before the killing.
The Cumberland County, PA district attorney and the FBI are aware of certain details of this case. And the entire trial testimony, new Affidavits, mistakes, perjured testimony, false statements, questions regarding the broken chain of evidence, withholding, burying and fabrications of evidence, a forged Will and false inventory in a bogus probate, possible interstate mail fraud and a $100,000 life insurance policy Mr. Pieruccini held on his wife, the victim, conflicts of interest, details of an obvious frame job of Daniel Meehan, a juror’s Affidavit with doubts about the judge’s “Charge to the jury,” and miscellaneous other items at this time are in the District Clerk’s file, or will be shortly, for inspection by anyone, including investigative reporters of the media.
The public will soon know whether true justice will be served. These media investigators will be watching the events that unfold in Orange County in the days to come very closely and will be searching for the truth, until the real killer is brought to justice. We now know that Mark Pieruccini had motives to use any and all means to kill, or have his wife killed, and frame Daniel Meehan with his own gun.
It is now perhaps up to you to begin to undo what has unjustly been done. And frankly, since there is a question of just how much Judge Clark knew or didn’t know about Mark Pieruccini’s misconduct at that time, and wife, Selma Pieruccini’s Restraining Orders on her husband and her Divorce proceedings, perhaps you should persuade Judge Clark that he may be in a conflict of interest should he continue to hear Daniel Meehan’s case. We, the family of Daniel Paul Meehan, will not stop until the real killer of Selma Pieruccini is brought to justice.
Very truly yours,
the Daniel Meehan family members: (31 LISTED)

I JUST RAN ACROSS THIS COMMENT FROM
TopshelfTom
June 06, 2009
"What do you get when you take a world class producer like Jimmy "The Wiz" Wisner and pair him up with a leading expert of overdubbing technology who spent years engineering and masterminding tons of Columbia releases? You come up with a killer record known as My Silent Symphony by the Don Meehan Project."
"I don't remember how many times Don overdubbed his voice but I think it was around 16 times! Arranged, Conducted and produced by Jimmy Wisner, how did this fail to become a smash record? Needless to say, it is gaining some popularity around Topshelf Oldies, where a couple of DJ's have been giving it some airplay in the last year or two. Feel free to request it from us, we'd love to play it for you again! You can hear great records like this one live every night at www.topshelfoldies.com!"

DON MEEHAN HERE TO COMMENT THAT THERE ARE 20 OVERDUB VOICES ON MY SILENT SYMPHONY.
I am very proud to say that the cut, "La Senora de Guadalupe" on my new CD (Please click on it on the list to the right) is about the newly named Saint Juan Diego. The song and recording was awarded the Apostolic Blessing by Pope John Paul II. It is is my dedication and promotion of the almost 500 year old miraculous Image of Guadalupe that hangs in the Mexican Shrine.
A LITTLE SMALL TALK -- You must have seen it on Super Bowl Day, 2008, when NFL and CBS ran the commercial of the mad professor "PERFECT" featuring DON MEEHAN (Jr). Pictured as friend 2 below, I am proud to say he is my son, a very successful singer-actor-dancer-musician living in New York City with a list of credits a mile long. Click on his picture below and you will see a wonderful presentation and resume as well as hear his golden voice. Man oh man, advertisers shelled out $2.4 million for a thirty second commercial and I guess Son, Don's mad professor was in a real good spot to be seen by at least 148.3 million people who watched all or part of the contest. And he was with me in the studio when we recorded Dylan's "Hurricane."

THE WHOLE WORLD MUST KNOW HOW BRUTALITY IS BEING DISHED OUT IN THE COURTROOM. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM SUCKS. ALSO, MANY PRISONERS ARE PUNISHED AND TREATED LIKE SLAVES AFTER THEY ARE INCARCERATED. THIS IS ONE REASON I HAVE WRITTEN AND PERFORMED "COURTROOM BRUTALITY." IT'S WHERE "A POOR MAN DOESN'T EVEN HAVE HALF A CHANCE."
NOW, PLEASE WATCH MY MUSIC VIDEO HERE OF "COURTROOM BRUTALITY," THAT STARTS WITH A LITTLE LIGHTHEARTED NONSENSE WITH SOME ROWDY FRIENDS (HANK JR. THE DONALD, LARRY THE CABLE GUY, LITTLE STEVEN AND THE 19 DONS), WHICH THEN LEADS YOU INTO THE SERIOUS MESSAGE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR AND ACT ON ABOUT THE GOOD OL' AMERICAN SYSTEM OF (IN)JUSTICE.

BELOW ARE SOME OF MY ENGINEER-MIXING CREDITS 33 Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum, and I am proud to say that my name is on them. I am especially proud of a Platinum Record award hanging on my wall for when I engineered and co-produced the now classic Bob Dylan song “Hurricane” at Columbia. This was when Rubin Carter was wrongly convicted. The studio was filled with hopeful proponents desiring to free Carter. I have memories of that night and the many times I heard it played on the radio, and also memories of a personal railroad job in New York courts during that time, fighting the impossible corruption there. All of this left me with a strong distaste for “Courtroom Brutality.” Many years later, with the help of Dylan and other famous personalities, and a wise and fair judge, Carter was finally freed, and the recording was the title song for the recent Denzel Washington movie about Carter. And now it's Danny Meehan's turn.

This next cut is a bad (bootleg?) copy of Dylan's duet with Emmylou Harris. All the tapes on that version were either erased and/or cut up when I got a call one night at the Columbia Studios with orders from the president, Walter Yetnikoff, to destroy them all. There was some legal issue. One cannot imagine the feeling of destroying those tape masters. So here is a copy of a rough mix that somehow got up on YouTube from someone who must have had a reference copy, perhaps Bob or an A & R person. The final mix was so much better than this.

THE WAY TO AMERICA'S HEART IS THROUGH SONG! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT "COURTROOM BRUTALITY." I WANT TO THANK THE MANY THOUSANDS WHO CONTINUE TO VIEW MY PAGE AND HEAR THE SONG. WHILE ORANGE, TEXAS MEDIA AND OFFICIALS HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE AND HIDE FROM THE LATEST ACTIONS OF THEIR JUDGE AND PROSECUTOR, KPRC TV IN HOUSTON HAS INVESTIGATED AND BROKEN THE STORY OF ORANGE COUNTY, TEXAS CORRUPTION. HOPEFULLY, THE NEWS WILL SPREAD FROM COAST TO COAST, AND BEFORE LONG TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

OF ALL THE RECORDS I HAVE MADE AS AN ARTIST, SONGS I HAVE WRITTEN, AND THE MANY HITS I HAVE ENGINEERED, "COURTROOM BRUTALITY" IS ONE THAT MOST DEEPLY TOUCHES MY HEART AND CONVEYS TRUTH. IT IS THE ULTIMATE WRONGLY CONVICTED PRISONER’S PROTEST. AND I HOPE IT WILL INSPIRE MANY WHO HAVE LOST ALL HOPE. THE WAY TO AMERICA'S HEART IS THROUGH SONG! AND NOW, ALL OF AMERICA NEEDS TO HEAR THIS SONG, THE TRUE STORY OF DANNY MEEHAN (AND MANY OTHERS).
*****
Danny Meehan was framed and wrongfully convicted FOR 99 YEARS. We have found new evidence that will set him free. We have seen first hand how the system works against a poor person. Society would like to have one believe that “you have the right to remain silent,” and that it is all fair, and that true justice will be served. Not true. They read him his Miranda rights and continued to hammer away with questions for several hours, while taping what was said (twice) trying to get him to admit to the shooting, and illegally searched his house. The police disregarded other fingerprints that were found at the scene, and deep-sixed a gun residue kit finding.
*****
One doesn’t have the dream team that demands many thousands, and most people have to get paid for work done. It is rare for an attorney to take on a case and fight to the bitter end, just because he/she knows it is the right thing to do. For a poor man to appeal a wrongful conviction, he will have to study law (101?) behind bars, and learn the procedures and file papers that go up against the professionals, the expert appeals attorneys, who have many years of experience with the law and how to beat down the poor. Meanwhile, the real killer roams free.
*****
Sadly, one also has to deal with the politics, the power and the big incentives that the “other” side strives for to get re-elected or promoted to a higher judgeship. When they take away your rights, some believe that the punishment should be like in the Roman times. The censorship, the silencing, the restrictions, once one is put away are unbelievable. It cost me over $25 fo his one phone call in a year, and it takes almost a week to get a letter in or out. Danny will never even get to hear this song while in prison. He can't have a camera, a computer, and a lot of other little things we take for granted.
*****
Most people don’t even know about the many people who have been executed in wrongful convictions, especially in Texas.
*****
And now it’s Danny Meehan’s turn. in the works. And let’s hope that the song, “Courtroom Brutality,” will be the start of his as well as others' release. and that everyone in this country will hear it over and over, and that the good guys will start clean up the dirty rotton justice and prison system in this country.
Lately, I've been fluctuating between third an fifth...spent some time at FIRST also....Really, I need to clinch this #1 spot....and with only 46 entries, its an easy judge...just create a quick profile (takes 2 seconds), click on Alliteration on my profile, and then hit judge....it will take you straight to the JLSC judging page. Go head to head, listen to each song for 15 seconds then rate them...once you have listened to a song once, you don't have to again, you can just judge....
Please sign the Petition for Jeff Wood, Sentenced to Death Despite Not Killing Anyone. Jeff Wood is waiting to die on Texas Death Row with an execution date of August 21st, 2008. Jeff was charged under the Law of Parties, and was not the shooter in this crime. Jeff could not anticipate that a murder would occur. The actual shooter in this case has already been executed by the state of Texas.
Just thought I'd share some good news...I've been ask to come on as co-producer for the Melodical Hearts Music that Matters Pennsylvania country bands compilation CD by my dear friend Wayne Warner....It'll be hard work, but I'm up for it...pass the info on to your friend in NY...still no word from there yet. Thanks again and God Bless, Cathy
