Very disturbing news is being reported today.

MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY - On Monday, June 3rd, a bench warrant was issued for the arrest of Thomas C. Padgett of Massachusetts by Hopkins Circuit Court Judge Charles W. Boteler, Jr. at the request of local Western Kentucky Prosecutor, David Massamore, a known close neighbor of Scientologist Laura Vannoy Padgett. The grounds for the arrest warrant, [allegedly] was "failure to appear."

Public Defender James M. Ruschell was shocked by this ruling adding commentary; "This case (litigation # 98-CR-067) seems to have a life of it's own."

Defendant Tom Padgett's comments were more detailed. "It is my true belief that the Scientology cult wants me dead as a defector of this criminal organization which cloaks itself in 'religion' slants for U.S. Constitution protection to allow it's totalistic motives to go forward unnoticed. I won, and was granted liberal vistitation with my minor son Beau including 5 weeks of extended summer interaction which has not been enjoyed since 1995. A bench warrant for my arrest would certainly compromize this NEW normal parent/child time as a covert DISCONNECTION ploy given that the dad (me) is in prison serving time best discribed by Boston Scientology Office of Special Affairs (OSA) representative Frank Ofman as... "Scientology Condemns all Crime and Criminals.' I also believe the Judge and prosecutor have been bribed, or investgated by the cult to alter their respective rational and logical judicial thinking and behaviors to allow their continued assaults upon me."

Based on these reports and comments, is it not time to rely upon the expertise of Dr. Stephen Kent's professional social behavior assessments of the Padgett families' secular conflicts as entered record filings: http://xenu.ca/court/kent-declaration.html?

All we can say is something really is wrong in Kentucky, perhaps more so, or at least equal to, legal events in Florida or California regarding the Hubbard sect. If only the media like Court TV could have the convictions, or the stamina, to delve into the abuses of the Church of Scientology, many lives would be spared, if not saved. <end>
