To: TERRY TRUSSELL, P.O, Box 1552, Cross City, FL 32628 in Re: Grand Jury, Dixie County —— ‘ORDER FINDING CAUSE TO REMOVE AND REPLACE A GRAND JURORS THIS CAUSE CAME TO BE HEARD upon the sworn, written Petition of Jeffrey Siegmeister, State sttorney forthe Third Judicial Cirult, the Court having read the same and being otherwise fully advised In the premises, and the Court determining that no grand Juror has 2 righto any adversarial hearing regarding removal from 2 grand jury panel, itis ORDERED ANO ADIIDGED thet the Petition is GRANTED, and gran juror Terry Trussell ishereby removed from the sitting grand jury of Dixie County, whose term ends October 19, 2034. Basedon the following irefutable facts the Court Is complied to find that Mr Tetry Trusses Incapable of serving 25 a juror of the currently jimpaneled Grand Jury of Dixie County, Florida, to wit: $ 4. First and foremost Terry Russell, during @ period he was 2 sworn [uror and foreperson of the Grand jury of Dixie County, Florida, and out of his apparent frustration with the manner In whlch the lawful grand [ury was proceeding upon matters he desired to be investigated cid instigate investigations of matters outside the presence of the Grand Jury and without any legal authority bestowed upon him by the ather Grand Jury pane! members or otherwise under Chapter 905 or the Instructions of the Court. These investigations occurred in ways that included the convering of s sham assembly of volunteers to act asa s0 called “eammon law grand jury’ inthe stead of the lawful Grand Jury of Dixie County, Farid resulting inthe issuance of mofe than one simulated “true bil, signed by Terry Trussell as the “foreman” of that assembly, purporting to indict various individuals, pubic officials, corporations, and governmental bodes fo a cornucopla of offenses (albeit sucn a document is truly "ole 3b Intio” it must be noted by this Cour, and Inthe interest of fair warning to those Intrigued by the proponents of “common aw grand juries" thatthe supposed “true bl sue by common law grand juries apparently do not require finding of at least mention of ary 7 “particular dates, times or locations of any ofthese offenses!) 2. The supposed “true bill issued by the supposed common-awjury were recorded into the Gfficial Records of Dixie County, Florida. Although nat the act of @ valid grand juny Mr. ‘Trussell directed the recording of the “true bills” Into the Official Records of Dixie County, Florida in defiance of and in violation ofthe spirit of Florida Statute’. 905.26. 3. Mr. Trussell tized his postion es the duly appointed forepersan of the Grand Jury of Dixie County in order to neutralize the ability ofthe Grand Jury of Die County to function as ended under the law, and in doing so employed deception inorder to gain access tothe bike County Courthouse In order to further the assembly ofa $2 ealleg “common ew grand jury” and the actions that assembly took on August 14, ‘2024 in issuing the so calied “true bilis’ mentioned above. EXHIBIT Pogene erent eA AMER mtn 4, He has issued decrees in the form of “bls of information” and other dacuments directed to public officials including the Dixie County Clerk of the Court, the undersigned sucge (declaring the undersigned “recused”, and some intended for delivery to forenersons of cother lawful grand juries, all without the permission or direction of the other members of the lawful Grand Jury of Dixie County, Florida. 5, Mr. Trussell has declared the lawful, sitting grand jury “vols aa initio" in at least one “Bill of information, thereby disavowing the lawful existence, power, and responsibilty of the very srand jury of whieh he is @ member and its appointed foreperson, and in doing so renders ‘Mir. Trussell to be perpetually in conflict of interest with any matter that might come ‘before the lawful arend jury. Interestingly and somewhat disingenuously, after declaring ‘the lawful grand jury “void ab initio”, Mr. Trussell continued to sign documents and issue directives as the foreperson of the Dixie County Grand Jury, albeit outside the scape of the powers of a foreperson 6. Mr. Trussell has acted to disrupt and abuse the service of the panel of grand jurors by _pretending to prepare a presentation and having them e-celled into\session on or about ‘August £4, 2044, but instead under a use, obtained access to the courthouse earler and conducted & sham, non-existent {in current statute nor under the Florida Constitution and ‘tenth amendment of the US Constitution} “common law grand jury” session. The intentional inconvenience te those others appointed for service as Grand Juries wes ¢ selfish ‘and an inexcusable breach of his duties as foreperson and grand juror. IT IS FUTHERED ORDERED that the previously appointed Vice-Foreperson of the Grand Jury assume the duties as Foreperson for the remainder of the term; FF IS FURTHER ORDERED: In the event that there is any matter to be taken up by the remaining membersiof the Grand Jury during the term of this Grand Jury, no later than ten days prior to re- convening, the Clerk of the Court will advise the Court of the remaining venire of prospective jurors previously summoned for this term af'the Grand Jury, and the Court will direct a random draw from ‘those names to be made in the presence of the Court, the Clerk of the Court, the Foreperson of the Grand jury, and the Clerk of the Grand Jury for the purpose of selecting @ replacement for this removed Juror or any other juror unable to serve throughout the remaining term of the Grand Jury. Thereafter, 48 soon as possible, those replacement jurors shall be instructed as required by law and advised of the Gate of ceconvening. ‘THIS COURT further reminds the respondent TERRY TRUSSELL he is forever bound by the secrecy requirements of Ficrida law, absent a court order, as set forth in Chapter 905 of the Fiorida Statutes and ‘the Instruction previously given by the Court to the Grand Jury, DONE AND ORDERED in Perry, Taylor County, Fiorida, on thi 1y of August , 2014.

Ltt be kxows the various personages cefrred to in your letes TERRY TRUSSELL ax Russell; are not me, nor do I speak for, nor am I responsible for them, AS-you s 1, The cause coming to be heard upon the sworn, written Petition of Jeflrey Siegmeister, State Attomey for the Third Judicial Cireuit; 2. is false, as Siegmeister, accused of numerous felonies in this matter, has no standing outside 2 Court of Record, and because of his corruption of this j (Canon 1, A Judge Shall Uphold the Integrity and Independence of the Judiciary.) You allowedian accused felon to pervert your judgment and your actions. 2. You suggest you have been. ‘otherwise fully advised in the premises’; a. ispatently false, as you haveno jurisdiction-in this matter; therefore you are not privy to the full advice you need to make a just and lawful determination. (Can 3. A Judge Shall Perform the Duties of Judicial Office impartially and Diligentiy.) You failed to perform due diligence in seeking the truth by demonstrating partiality to Mr) Siegmeister's fallacious accusetions. And, the ‘Court determining no grand juror has a right to any adversaria! hearing...” a. is'insufficient grounds for your dismissal of a grand juror. No proof is given to the “Court” referred to, is a Court of Record, and that the grand juror being dismissed was not accorded an opportunity for defense. (Canon 2, A Judge Shall Avoid impropriety and the Appearance of Impropriety in all of the Judge's Activities.) You colluded with Mr. Siegmeister in attacking the Grand Jury Foreman, and attempted to hide Mr, Siegmeister's malfeasance, leaving you professionally and personally culpable, Further, to know of the accusations of Siegmeister's improprieties, yet fuil to act officially, makes you personally vulnerable to cherges of Misprision of Felony, Obstruction of Justice, and Violation of Oath of Office, n 1. Ido not recognize, nor do I speak for, or represent Terry Russell. Item 2. TI good a issue has no connection to your alleged authority to dismiss a grand juror ‘upon suse’. There are no prohibitions by Law or by statute to any grand juror’s personal long as they minal or demonstrate poor character. Mr. Trussel EXHIBIT lieaponse to GREG PARKER Order = 09702/16 stands fit and able to continue in his service as Grand Jury Foreman and denies your charges, and your nullified Order to the contrary. Tem 3. Your assertions of Mr. Trussell’s intent fall outside your possibility of knowing, making them an obvious, total fabrication; additional, clear evidence of your implicit collusion in Mz. Siegmeister's scheme to do harm to Mr Trussell’s standing with this grand jury and to his personal reputation. No deception was ever used to gain access to the Dixie County Courthouse. As a resident and taxpayer in Dixie County, Mr. Trussell requested use of the Courtroom without stipulation of objectives, and was granted use of the courtroom without restriction of purpose, by Ms. Dana Johnson, Court Clerk. For you to assert otherwise is proof of your failure to adhere to truth, and your intent to do harm to Mr. Trusgell's reputation. Your continued reference to a ‘common iaw grand jury!/is unrelated to me and irrelevant to this issue. It is further proof you are acting disingenuovsly, with litle regard for fact or truth, (Canon 4. A Judge Is Encouraged to Engage in Activities to Improve the Law, the Legal System, and the Admtinistration of Justice.) Your involvement with Mr. Siegmeister in this conspiracy to cover up his malfeasance is in no way improving the Law or the Legal System. You are causing great harm to the Administration of Justice, Item 4, As Grand Jury Foremanand s Public Official, itis ¢ statutory requirement thet the Foreman act on behalf of, and speak for the grand jury. Further, itis the sworn duty of the forema to preserve the integrity of the grand jury against any attempt to corrupt its ‘operation, its process, or its findings, even if such attempts at corruption are the result of official misconduct by the Court or the State Attorney Item 5. Your assertions do not Support your conclusion, Your claim the grand jury was declared “void ab intio" is not only inaccurate, but intentionally misleading. The jury was not declared void until it was leamed by the foreman: a, Siegmeister corupied the jury by having ex parte communications with b. Siegmelsier illegally drew in at least one juror to conspire with him to obs eyes only’ documents; and ‘Siegmeister repeatedly and inappropriately impressed his unsolicited testimony and legal opinions upon the jury, thereby tainting their objectivity, and disrupting their focus on matters being presented. The jury foreman did not include himself in nullifying the other jury Mr, Siegmeister's unseemly actions had no impact on the foreman’s bis resolve to fulfill his sworn duty the jurors; rors’ dgment, nor upon. Item 6, The grand jury foreman has made every effort to live up to his Oath, his responsibilities under the Court's Instructions, Section 905 of the State Statutes, the Grand Juror's Handbook, and the US Constitution; and he has done so in spite of an incompetent, unprineipled State Attomey and an absent, unresponsive Court of jurisdiction. You may Page 20/3Response to GREG PARKER Oraer ~ 9/02/14 bbe well-advised to tum your attention to the Court's and Mr. Siegmeister's failure to honor their respective oaths and sworn duties, instead of vilifying the grend Jury foreman in the responsible execution of his duties. In conclusion, GREG PARKER, you have no authority to appoint anyone to anything, oF take any other action pertaining to this grand jury. You stand recused due to your demonstrated inability to act responsibly in a capacity you unlawfully assumed, nor do you even pretend £0 abide with fidelity to judicial cenons, (As indicated above, there is ample evidence you have violated at least four of seven Judicial Canons in this matter alone.) GREG PARKER, you allege your Order was prediceted on the ‘swor, written Petition’ of Jeffrey Siegmeister, and since you failed to appropriately append that Petition as an exhibit to Validate said Order, itis hereby demanded you submit 2 true copy of that Petition to Trussell immediately. Further, it is demanded to know why you conducted ex parte communis i it Siegmeister and held an ex parte hearing to arrive at your illicit conclusions. Finally, your reminder of secrecy is hollow, GREG PARKER. There have been no granc jury proceedings under the statutes, due to Mr. Siegmeister's corruption of the grand jurors and the grand jury process, and your unlawful attempts to exert undue influence and illegal ‘manipulations upon this lawful, independent body.
