In the Matter of J.G., Medina
County Juvenile Court
Case No. 2014-02DQ-0076, Judge
Dunn
Juvenile J.G. was summoned to Medina County Juvenile Court
to answer a complaint alleging inciting panic on the unfounded grounds that
J.G. had formulated a “hit list.” J.G.’s
mother accompanied her son to the adjudicatory hearing that was conducted
before a magistrate on July 15, 2014. At
the conclusion of the adjudicator hearing, the magistrate found J.G. to be a
delinquent child by virtue of disorderly conduct, engaging in fighting.
J.G.’s mother chose to appeal the magistrate’s finding with
the belief that the prosecutor had failed to present any evidence of any
violation of law by her son.
Accordingly, Mrs. Powell, J.G.’s mother went to the Medina County
Juvenile Court, requested a complete transcript
of J.G.’s adjudicatory hearing, paid the fee for the transcript to the clerk
and, in exchange, received three compact discs that the clerk represented to
Ms. Powell contained the complete transcript
of the hearing.
Mrs. Powell went home and learned that the compact discs
were woefully incomplete and failed to present the complete testimony of
witnesses at the hearing.
Not satisfied, Mrs. Powell returned to the Medina County
Juvenile Court and once again requested and paid for a complete transcript of the adjudicatory hearing. Once again, a clerk furnished Mrs. Powell
with three compact discs that, upon review, were again woefully incomplete,
although the content of the second set of compact discs varied from the first
set.
Mrs. Powell firmly believes that the juvenile court failed
to provide her with a complete transcript
of the adjudicatory hearing with the intent to deliberately frustrate her
appeal of the magistrate’s finding.
Mrs. Powell has furnished an affidavit, detailing her
unsuccessful attempts to obtain a complete
transcript of her son’s adjudicatory hearing, attached hereto as Exhibit Twenty-Six.
