Malicious Prosectuion Claims (NOTE: Wrong spelling in the original)
p. 1

COMPLAINT OF MALICIOUS PROSECUTION BY ARLINGTON COUNTY AGAINST HEFFERNAN

a. Statute of Limitations Malicious Prosecution claims have a two-year statute of limitations. Va. Code Ann. 8.01-248; see Blackmon v. Perez, 792 F. Supp. 1086, 1092 (E.D. Va. 1992) (holding malicious prosecution claims barred under Va. Code Ann. $8.01-248).5 The cause of action for malicious prosecution accrues when the relevant criminal or civil action is terminated. Va. Code Ann. $8.01-249.
5 The Court notes that at the time of Blackmon Va. Code Ann., $8.01-248 provided for a one-year statue

(NOTE: spelling error in the original) of limitations. That period, however, was extended to two years in 1995. See Michael v. Sentara Health Sys., 939 F. Supp. 1220, 1229 (E.D. Va. 1996).

4. Plaintiff Heffernan files not in two years but within two weeks, so is timely in filing her Complaint. 5. All the incidents of the false charges, false arrest, and malicious prosecution were done within Arlington County, that is totally within the jurisdiction of the Eastern District of Virginia. 6. Discovery by Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan by proper use of Request for Admissions, Request for Production, Interrogatories, Depositions, Subpoenas and Subpoena Duces Tecum will be able to conclusively reveal the complicity of the above named Defendants in the original false charges on 26 May 2011 based on false allegations by Defendants Karen Grane, Sherri Brothers, Marita Wilson, and Colin Brown relating to an prior approved school meeting on 5 May 2011 (where no police report has been forthcoming from the Defendants or Arlington County agents), the subsequent false arrest in the Arlington Court house on 13 October 2011 instigated by Defendant Jason McCandless, and the circus trial on 9 December 2011, with TWELVE Sheriff Deputies in the Courtroom, FOUR Arlington Police Officers, FOUR members of the staff of the Commonwealth Attorneys office, and where Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan was found NOT GUILTY by Judge Richard McCue after hearing Principal Colin Brown as witness for the prosecution, and hearing Patricia Tackett, James Renwick Manship, Sr., and George McDermott, witnesses for the defense in that trial by Pro Se defendant Delores OBrien Heffernan.

7. Police Detective K. Treakle, #1074, Arlington County Police Department is not named as a Defendant because other than at the instigation of other Defendants was only taking the complaint from Defendant Colin Brown on or about 05/26/2011 at 12:47 PM, and does not appear to be otherwise involved in the Malicious Prosecution of Delores OBrien Heffernan. Plaintiff reserves the Right to add Treakle or other Police Department employees if Discovery reveals actions outside the color of law of duty. FACTS OF THE CASE 8. On 25 March 2011, James Renwick Manship, Sr., under a new Virginia law 26-72, Attorney in fact for Mrs. Patricia Tackett, mother of A.O., granddaughter of Plaintiff Delores OBrien Heffernan, wrote a letter to Defendant Colin Brown (Exhibit A) detailing many, but not all instances of a pattern of child abuse of A.O. while under the care the Burkas, an Arlington CPS selected Foster Family, assigned to care for A.O. from 22 July 2010 to 19 March 2011, and abuse by Defendant Wilson, Brothers, Grane, and McCandless. 9. Between 25 March and 5 May 2011, a series of email and phone communications between Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan, Guardian of A.O. by Maryland Circuit Court ORDER, and Mrs. Patricia Tackett, Mother of A.O., an educational progress meeting was scheduled in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations 34 CFR 300.345 - Parent Participation. Mrs. Tackett was invited, and was invited to bring along others. Logically, Mrs. Tackett invited her mother, Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan, and her Attorney in fact, Mr. Manship. There was NO indication by Principal Brown that Defendants Grane, Wilson, or Brothers were to be present. 10. On 5 May, Mrs. Tackett came in her car, while Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan came in the pickup truck of Mr. Manship, to McKinley Elementary School for the scheduled meeting.

11. Mrs. Tackett, Mr. Manship, and Mrs. OBrien Heffernan were all surprised and dismayed by the presence of Defendants Grane, Wilson and Brothers. Mr. Manship stated that that was a breach of trust by Defendant Colin Brown, and that all three should depart for a rescheduled meeting. 12. Defendant Sherri Brothers approached Mrs. OBrien Heffernan to say, Mrs. OBrien (NOT her proper name OBrien Heffernan), you know you are not supposed to be here. 13. Mr. Manship asked Miss Brothers, On what basis is Mrs. Heffernan to not be here? Brothers responded There is an order. Manship objected by saying, Not so. Where? Show it. 14. Ignoring the objection, and request for proof of any such order, Defendant Brothers then said to the school principal, Mrs. Heffernan is not supposed to be here., whereupon Defendant Brown complied with Defendant Brothers request for him to ask Mrs. OBrien Heffernan to leave the school property. 15. Mr. Manship advised Mrs. OBrien Heffernan to depart, and she did so promptly. Then Mr. Manship advised Mrs. Tackett the two of them should also leave, and after a bit of discussion by Mrs. Tackett to try to persuade the Principal to reverse his order to Mrs. OBrien Heffernan and Mr. Manship to leave, Tackett refused to be alone, so she and Mr. Manship also left. 16. Mrs. Tackett went in her car, and Mrs. OBrien Heffernan went in the truck of Mr. Manship to a gas station on Leesburg Pike whereupon when they received a call to Mrs. OBrien Heffernan (NOT Mrs. Tackett) from the Special Education Teacher of McKinley Elementary School stating the school personnel and the Arlington CPS workers with Miss Grane were going to go ahead with the meeting, and for Mrs. OBrien Heffernan to attend by phone conference, Mr. Manship was given the phone to inform the school employee that would NOT be done, and the school was in violation of Code of Federal Regulations 34 CFR 300.345.

17. Mr. Manship stated that a re-scheduled educational status or student progress meeting was required. 18. A letter dated -__ May 2011 was sent by Defendant Brown to Mrs. Tackett that re-scheduled the 5 May 2011 meeting for 1 June 2011 at the Arlington County School Board headquarters, where Defendant Brown, school principal; Kristi Murphy, Sp. Ed. Coordinator; and Kellene Mountain, psychologist attended for the school with Mrs. Tackett, Mr. Manship and Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan, and CPS workers or GAL were NOT allowed to be present. Discovery will reveal the exact date of Defendant Browns letter. 19. At that 1 June 2011 meeting, where both sides made AUDIO RECORDINGS (future exhibits), the School Psychologist stated that the emotional well-being of A.O. had improved after being removed from the Burka foster family home on Saturday, 19 March 2011 which was the result of several months of effort by Mr. Manship and Plaintiff Mrs. OBrien Heffernan, after A.O., an 11 year old girl was assaulted by a 15 year old Burka boy in December 2010. 20. Defendant Brothers stated in an 28 January email to Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan that a 11 year old girl being alone with a 15 year old boy, pulled down the stairs, blocked from going to the bathroom, and then punched in the face and breasts, did not meet our definition of assault. What is needed for the Arlington CPS definition, out and out sexual rape and brutal bruising? 21. According to Mrs. Stephanie Tebor, a contracted psychologist for Arlington CPS, based on a meeting with A.O., after the foster family assault, stated A.O. considered suicide while in the Arlington CPS foster care system. Teborg did not take any protective actions in response. 22. The Washington Examiner wrote an article about the plight of A.O. on 8 February. On 6 January, Arlington CPS restored visitation between Grandmother OBrien Heffernan and A.O., the first time for anyone in the family in over five months, since 18 August 2010.

23. Mr. Manship was at one meeting where A.O. gave him a big hug for his help. At one meeting, Mr. Manship gave GAL Grane his card, whereupon she filed an Unauthorized Practice of Law Complaint with the Virginia State Bar that went nowhere as it was just harassment. 24. What is significant is that BEFORE the 1 June 2011 Arlington School headquarters meeting, Defendant Brown, on his own initiative, or more likely instigated by Defendants Grane, McCandless, Brothers and/or Wilson, filed false charges of Criminal Trespass against Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan on 26 May 2011. Brown made NO mention of his false charges being filed. 25. As stated in paragraph 7 of the 25 March a.d. 2011 letter from Mr. Manship to Mr. Brown: 7. ! Also be advised that Assistant County Attorney Jason McCandless will be a Defendant in a Federal law suit for his part in a Conspiracy to Violate Civil Rights, so you may be well advised to seek legal counsel from a source without a Conict of Interest as the County Attorney suffers under. 8. ! The referenced parties above at this time have no specic complaint with you or your staff, so you are not now named parties, by any of the above in any lawsuit. Therefore, we request that you cooperate with Mrs. Tackett, the mothers requests, as required by law, for she has no restraints or injunctions upon her by the Court. Defendant Brown may be wise to file a Cross-Complaint against the instigators of his False Charges of Criminal Trespass against Grandmother and Guardian, Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan. 26. On or about 26 January 2011, Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan, with the assistance of Mr. Manship, under a provision of Virginia law and Virginia supreme Court Handbook for Grand Jurors filed against Guardian Ad Litem Karen Grane a CITIZEN PETITION FOR SPECIAL GRAND JURY PER VIRGINIA COURT HANDBOOK FOR GRAND JURORS INTO FINANCIAL FRAUD BY OFFICER OF THE COURT (Karen Grane for padded, that is to say Fraudulent Expense Vouchers, by cross-referencing Discovery facts from a Maryland case). 27. On 31 January 2011, Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan filed a MOTION & REPLY TO FRAUD BY DECEPTIONS OF GUARDIAN AD LITEM, regarding Defendant Karen Grane.

28. In Court on 24 March 2011, Karen Grane TWICE spoke the word SEXUAL in relation to the abuse reported by the Burka teen age boy of the foster family approved by Arlington CPS. 29. On 25 March 2011, Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan filed an EMERGENCY MOTION UNDER VIRGINIA CODE 63.2-1510 FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF and SANCTIONS ON COUNTY ATTORNEY McCANDLESS and GUARDIAN AD LITEM KAREN GRANE. Virginia Code 63.2-1510 is titled: Complaints by others of certain injuries to children., and stated In light of the above and related Virginia Code sections, Guardian Ad Litem attorney Karen Grane has violated her trust, and Virginia law, and both McCandless and Brothers have aided and abetted the crime by their compliant silence. 30. With no notice of the Arlington Circuit Court Clerk to Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan of when she would make her presentment to the Grand Jury from January to May, on 1 June a.d. 2011, attorney in fact Manship, and another aggrieved parent victim of Arlington CPS combined to file another Citizen Petition for Special Grand Jury with Defendant Grane again named, along with other Arlington employees who have violated various Virginia laws. 31. Attorney in fact Manship pursued Heffernans second Petition for Special Grand Jury, in that he had previously addressed a Grand Jury in another jurisdiction to investigate similar massive corruption by the former Commonwealth Attorney, his Deputy, his successor, his two police investigators, and others. The attorney and former prosecutor took a guilty plea in June 2011, had his Virginia State Bar card revoked in August, and was sent to prison in September 2011. A sitting judge submitted a surprise early retirement letter the same day Manship filed a Citizen Petition for Special Grand Jury, two days after Manship met with Virginia State Police about the mans corrupt performance as a sell out his client Defense Counsel in the 1994-95 case.

32. Many delaying tactics were employed by the Arlington Circuit Court Clerk Office attorney and others in the employ of Arlington Courts in regard to Attorney in fact and Petitioner Manship under Section 23 of the Virginia supreme Court Handbook for Grand Jurors, Any citizen or group of citizens may ask the Circuit Court of a city or county to convene a Special Grand Jury. 33. Further reading of the Virginia law reveals three paths a Citizen may ask for a Special Grand Jury, one of which is to appear before a regular Grand Jury, often composed of only five Citizens as jurors, so unable to sit as a Special Grand Jury, to make a Presentment to request the Jurors vote to impanel a group of Citizens as a Special Grand Jury as in Section 26 that states: As has been set out in Section 3, a Special Grand Jury is composed of from seven to eleven citizens of a city or county, selected by the Circuit Court and summoned to investigate any condition which tends to promote criminal activity in the community or by any governmental authority, agency or official. The Special Grand Jury, composed entirely of private citizens, is the one nonpolitical body with legal authority to make such investigations. 34. Arlington contractors like Defendant GAL Grane, or Arlington employees like Defendants McCandless, Wilson, or Brothers who allow what Grane TWICE used the word IN COURT as a SEXUAL assault by a foster family teen age boy on an 11 year old girl in its Foster care program is a criminal activity that PRIVATE CITIZENS, NOT ARLINGTON EMPLOYEES MUST INVESTIGATE, this and other felony acts, if this Virginia Law is to be honored and obeyed. 35. Citizen Manship Noticed to Appear before the 21 November 2011 Grand Jury, but was denied the RIGHT of a Citizen to make a Presentment before the Grand Jury for either a Direct Indictment by vote of the jurors of a True Bill, or for an Investigation by a separately impaneled Special Grand Jury to investigate and indict as the investigation reveals proper. The denial of the Grand Jury RIGHT by Arlington actors, makes action in the Federal Court a necessary action.

36. Also on 21 November 2011, Citizen Manship, attorney in fact for Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan, along with a news reporter Janice Wolk Grenadier, met with Defendant Theo Stamos to relate to her as the Deputy and newly elected Commonwealth Attorney the years of Malicious Prosecution by Defendant Karen Grane, to which Defendant Stamos indignantly defended her fellow Bar member as just doing her job, rather than demonstrating any honest measure of Prosecutorial Discretion, to (1) investigate the fraudulent Expense Vouchers filed by Defendant Karen Grane as the Guardian Ad Litem in the A.O. case, and (2) to investigate the extent of Malicious Prosecution instigated by GAL Grane against Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan since she was assigned to the case on 19 February 2009, over two and a half years before. 37. Despite, or in spite of that meeting on 21 November 2011 with Mr. Manship, attorney in fact for Mrs. OBrien Heffernan, Defendant Theo Stamos maliciously continued on 12/9/11 the frivolous and malicious prosecution of Grandmother and Guardian by Maryland Court Order Mrs. OBrien Heffernan for falsely alleged, falsely charged, falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted Criminal Trespass for merely appearing at the school with her daughter, mother of A.O. and Mr. Manship at a school progress meeting, and leaving promptly after being told by the principal to do so. 38. Two honest Guardian Ad Litems, Bar members George Dodge and Fitzhugh Godwin, have stated they are appalled at the efforts of Arlington against Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan. 39. Thank God, Judge McCue had the wisdom and courage to say NOT GUILTY to this Malicious Prosecution of Defendant Stamos by way of her assistant Commonwealth Attorney. PRAYER FOR RELIEF 40. One Cause of Action stated is Malicious Prosecution against the Plaintiff, clearly from 26 May to 9 December 2011 in the false charge of Criminal Trespass, judged NOT GUILTY.

p. 9

41. Another Cause of Action is Malicious Prosecution against the Plaintiff by Defendant Grane from 19 February 2009 to the present, by a series of adverse and hostile actions. 42. One relief that can be granted is for the Court to provide assistance of counsel to Plaintiff OBrien Heffernan to pursue the felony violations by one or more of the named Defendants. 43. Another relief that can be granted is to issue a Scheduling Order for a full and complete process of Discovery by the Plaintiff of the Defendants, as described in paragraph 6, above. 44. Another relief that can be granted is as part of that Scheduling Order to schedule a Trial by Jury so that Private Citizens can evaluate the facts and the laws pertaining to this case to determine the extent of Malicious Prosecution by the Defendants, and other violations of law.
