Another #MeToo Reason Why Michigan Child Welfare Sucks: Jeremiah Dewey Is Innocent & Parents Have No Civil Rights

If you thought the entire #MeToo psychoptic is stunning, you have to look no further than Child Protective Services in the State of Michigan, where it all started.

It is called Moral Turpitude Laws, under Child Protection Laws, where one is judicially determined "guilty until proven innocent" where one is not allowed to face their accusers, not even a court of law, and it is all done through privatized, christian operations that engage in complex, financial fraud schemes in real estate, that end up funding political campaigns and money laundering operations through Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

The right to a civil society begins with due process, otherwise, it is nothing but a lynching of one's civil rights.


Jeremiah Dewey’s 15 year old step daughter ( Brittney ) was misbehaving. When Jeremiah tried to correct the the misbehavior she falsely accused him of molesting her. No physical evidence exists that show Brittney was molested by anyone. No Medical records from any Doctor or Medical Professional show Brittney was sexually molested by anyone. Brittney showed concern (documented in the Police report) about having to take a lie detector test. After a corrupt investigation and trial, Jeremiah was wrongly convicted sentenced to 22 to 40 years in prison.

The Judges had conflicts of Interest in this case. These conflicts are contain in the Official Court Transcripts and are evidence written by the Court. They should have recused themselves per the Michigan State Judicial Rules of Conduct, Cannon two. They also violated the US Constitutional rights and Michigan State Constitutional rights of Jeremiah of Due Process to receive a fair Trial. The US Supreme Court held that disqualification of a Judge is required if an objective observer would entertain reasonable questions about the Judge’s impartiality. If a Judge’s attitude or state of mind leads a detached observer to conclude that a fair and impartial hearing is unlikely, the Judge must be disqualified. Liteky v U.S., 114 s. ct. 1147, 1162 (1994).

Witnesses involved in this case testified about the lies and drama Brittney used every single day to get herself out of trouble she created. These witnesses testified about this during the trials and included Jan Oswalt grand mother to Brittney, Storm Galbraith mother to Brittney, Ann Dewey mother to Jeremiah and grand mother to Brittney, Lisa Spomer aunt to Brittney, Mary Lamb aunt to Brittney. Prosecuting Attorney Richard Steiger made inflammatory facts not in evidence, prejudicial remarks that expressed the prosecutor’s personal opinions, and bolstering that denied Jeremiah a fair and impartial trial. These comments served the purpose of inflaming and prejudicing the jurors, this prosecutor was not acting in good faith. Steiger down played these testimonies to the Jury by indicating these witnesses all had other motives for testifying.

Steiger had no actual evidence for any of this, violating Berger v U.S. ( US 1935 ) Prosecutor engaged in misconduct through his trial tactics by misstating the facts in his cross-examination of witnesses of assuming prejudicial facts not in evidence. Other witnesses who also had information and were on the Defense Witness list were excluded from testifying in these trials. Eleven year old Joshua Schilling and four year old Khloe Dewey were in the house when this alleged molestation happened. Neither one of these two witnesses were questioned or allowed to testify in this case. Tara Lamb who attended High School with Brittney was not allowed to testify. Shauna Dewey who lived with Brittney every summer was not allowed to testify. Witness statements by aunts Laura Matthews and Crystal Galbraith of Washington State were excluded from the trials because they contained information showing Brittney’s lack of credibility. Government Witnesses; Michigan State Police Officer Mike Jermeay, CPS Investigator Pam Idema, and Physician Assistant Rick DeMarr testified in this case and their testimonies conflicted with Brittney’s showing she lied and committed perjury. This Prosecutor Misconduct violated Napue v Illinois ( U.S. 1959 ) the failure of a Prosecutor to correct the testimony of the witness which he knew to be false denied Jeremiah due process of law in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Prosecuting Attorney Richard Steiger had no physical evidence of any kind that Brittney was sexually molested by anyone. Steiger used the Credibility of Brittney and a so called blood test from 2005 that showed Brittney positive for herpes. A Michigan State Supplemental Incident report from May 16, 2005 clearly shows that the rash Brittney was taken into the doctor for was not Herpes per Dr. Leja of the Cheboygan Michigan ER. The Blood test that showed Brittney positive for herpes was positive for a past and negative for recent infection per Dr. Dev. of the University of Michigan Child Protection Unit. A medical record obtained by Storm Galbraith on January 22, 2014 from the Harrison Medical Center of Bremerton Washington shows Brittney was never tested for any STD’s at Birth. Prosecuting Attorney Steiger claims in The Alpena News July 16, 2014 that the Police had obtained records casting doubt on whether the girl contracted herpes at birth. When Steiger found out that Storm had this medical record he had all medical records excluded from the trials. Prosecutor misconduct includes Brady v Maryland ( U.S. 1963 ) a Prosecutor under the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments has a duty to disclose favorable evidence to defendants. Giles v Maryland ( U.S. 1967 )

The Prosecution denied Due Process of law by suppressing evidence favorable to the defendants and by the knowing use of perjured testimony against them. United States v Bagley ( U.S. 1985 ) A Prosecutor’s duty to disclose material favorable evidence exists regardless of whether the defendant makes a specific request. Kyles v Whitley ( U.S. 1995 ) Accused entitled to a new trial because the prosecution’s failure to comply with due process obligations to disclose material evidence favorable to the accused. Strickler v Greene ( U.S. 1999 ) A Brady violation occurs when: 1. evidence is favorable to the exculpation or impeachment; 2 the evidence is either willfully or inadvertently withheld by the prosecution; and 3 the withholding of the evidence is prejudicial to the defendant. Cone v Bell ( U.S. 2009 ) a Prosecutor’s pre-trial obligation to disclose favorable or impeaching evidence, either to guilt or punishment, requires a prudent prosecutor to err on the side of transparency, resolving doubtful questions in favor of disclosure. Smith v Cain ( U.S. 2012 ) Impeachment evidence must be disclosed when other evidence is not strong enough to support a conviction. Attorney Patrick Crowley representing Jeremiah for these trials gave him a letter to sign. This letter involving a request to the Circuit Court to have this court quash and have the case dismissed without prejudice because the evidence from the district court was weak.

Jeremiah choose to face the charges because the investigation from 2005 was brought back against him eight years later, and the Attorneys have all ready received over Fifty Thousand dollars for this case. We believed that they were going to quash this and bring it back in to get more money from us. We have a copy of this letter as evidence. Also hidden from the Jury was the Presque Isle County Sheriff’s Incident report from 2013. Statement made in this Police Report clearly show Brittney’s lying a would have also proven she committed Perjury. United States v Colon ( 1st Cir. 2008 ) Police reports are favorable evidence when they contradict government witnesses.

Complaints were written against the Judges to the Michigan State Judicial Tenure Commission, written against the Attorneys to the Michigan State Attorney Grievance Commission, and a request for the Michigan State Appellate Defenders Office to look into this abuses that went on in this case. No one was interested in exposing the Corruption of this case.

Plea Agreements Attorney Daniel Martin P47567 of Cheboygan Michigan offered Jeremiah a Plea Agreement on August 19, 2013. Jeremiah would have to plead Guilty to one count of Criminal Sexual Conduct 4th Degree against Brittney. Jeremiah would loose his Parental rights for Khloe, spend one year in the Presque Isle County jail, this plea would involve all charges Jeremiah was facing, the kids would go back to Storm, and we would have to pay $10,000.00 Dollars. Jeremiah said no he is Innocent and wanted a Jury trial. Attorney Martin told Jeremiah he was only going to represent him for this plea agreement. During the Preliminary Examination court hearing for case no. 13-2476-FY Prosecuting Attorney Richard Steiger said and is documented in the Official Court Transcript page 3 line 23 through page 4 line 4 A plea offer was extended to all cases Mr. Dewey is Currently facing. Attorney Crowley states that Jeremiah was informed of this and that he declined it.

We all thought this was in reference to the plea agreement from Attorney Martin. Jason Weber the President of the National Center for Due Process contacted Jeremiah through the Prison JPAY system on February 16, 2015. Jason told Jeremiah in writing that a PLEA offer from Prosecutor Steiger of 5-15 years was the one referenced in the December Preliminary examination. Jeremiah was never told about this Plea Offer.

Requests for all Exculpatory Evidence. Attorney Martin made a request for all exculpatory evidence and this is contained in the Official Court Transcript of May 29, 2013. Attorney Sartz made a request for all exculpatory evidence on a brief dated and filed November 19, 2013. Prosecutor Steiger hide the 10 page Michigan State Police Report from 2005.

A writ of Habeas Corpus was written and sent to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. This Writ was denied with out Prejudice because we have not exhausted all of our Michigan State Remedies. We have written many Briefs, Motions, and Requests to many Michigan State Government Organizations requesting investigations into this Corruption. They just keep running us around in Circles.

We have currently sitting in the Michigan State Court of Appeals a Writ of Habeas Corpus Docket No. 339844 requesting that the Convictions of Jeremiah be voided, vacated, or that he be completely exonerated because of all the violations of law. US and Michigan State Constitutional rights being violated, Judicial Conflicts of Interest, Prosecutor Misconduct, Ineffective Assistance of Counsel, Brady Violations, and Fraud on the Court. This was denied by Court of Appeals March 28, 2018.

We also have sitting in the Michigan State Supreme Court case no. 156968 a Pro Per Application to Appeal the prejudice Pre-Sentencing Jeremiah was ordered by the Michigan State Appeal Court Case no. 340063 in 2017. Judge Pavlich stated during this hearing that Jeremiah infected Brittney with the STD Herpes in 2005. Clearly this Judge Committed Perjury on the Court because the Michigan State Supplemental report along with reports from Dr. Leja, Dr. Dev from the U of M Child Protection Unit shows Brittney did not have Herpes in 2005. A Medical Record from the Harrison Memorable Hospital where Brittney was born in 1998 clearly shows Brittney was never tested for any STD’s at Birth. This medical record conflicts with Statements made by Prosecutor Steiger and Investigator Porter in the Alpena Newspaper, and various court hearings. Might be why they had all medical records excluded from the trials.
