Conspiracy -
Modern Day Alliances of Local Houston Politicians, Houston based State Politicians, US State Politicians and the Houston GLBT Caucus.

In November, 2013 - Local Houston area Politicians and Houston based State Politicians and U.S. Texas State Politicians united with the Houston Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual and Transgendered Caucus (GLBT), Andy Kahan and Fox26 News to form a unified front to derail the parole processes of Jon Buice in 2013. 

I believe there is a Conspiracy by these Politicians, including but not limited to, State-Senators, Congressmen, US. Congressmen/women, and numerous other state Politicians directly involved with Houston Area Lobbying factions listed above in the derailment of Jon’s parole.  The list of potential players, is largely unknown except for those named in recent expose’s because the Texas Parole Board operates in secrecy and will not divulge the names of government officials or groups protesting Jon’s release.  It is possible that the list of politicians could even include the office of the Governor.  They all feel the need to keep Jon in prison because of the potential voting power of the collective Gay Caucus’ within Houston, the state and the nation.  Consumed with their self-serving thoughts of superiority over the masses they are quick to join the “I am protecting society” agenda when in fact they are only concerned about their own well-being.  Effectively they are individuals or groups that have been organized [or take it upon them-selves] to punish an individual for a perceived crime when the processes of law appear to be inadequate or do not suit their idea of Justice.  This has become largely the case as our society moves toward a national and state government where those elected feel they are empowered by the status of their office to make decisions for those appointees [the parole board] under their jurisdiction, at the expense of individual rights.

Jon’s denial of parole by the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole, as I was told, was due to public perception.  That in effect was, lobbying by the GLBT Caucus and Andy Kahan on Houston area, State and US. Politician’s with their,Hate Crime Rhetoric”. What transpired was a political tsunami of such magnitude that the Board personnel responsible for the decision were more than likely admonished by higher authorities, within the Board, to perform their duties contrary to published directives in the oversight of release as written in -  “Parole Guide Lines” http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/bpp/parole_guidelines/parole_guidelines.html

Jon became eligible for parole in 2003 under state laws established for the release of inmates from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice during the time of his original adjudication. In summary Jon would be eligible for parole after 11.25 years [1/4th of his total sentence] provided that he worked, stayed free of trouble [good time] and satisfied the minimum number of days to be served.

Jon’s first consideration for parole was in 2003.  Jon had spent the minimum time required in his sentencing to be eligible.  During this 11 plus years Jon completed High School, obtained two (2) Associates and a Bachelors of Science Degree.  His disciplinary record was exemplary considering the number of years served and the various locations of his incarceration throughout Texas.  All things considered Jon was a prime candidate with a relatively low recidivism (relapse into criminal behavior) risk rate in accordance with the “Parole Guide Lines”.

Hate Crime Rhetoric and the Parole Board

In the years prior to Jon’s first parole hearing Ray Hill and the Gay community held a yearly memorial in the Montrose area of Houston for their self-promoted Hate Crime Martyr, Paul Broussard.  At these yearly rallies various individuals who were associated with Paul, including family members, would publically espouse their venom to the Gay Community.  By the time Jon became eligible for parole in 2003 this hatred was focused and a game plan was put into play to keep Jon in prison at all costs using any means necessary including promoting lies [Hate Crime Dicta], false testimony, and hearsay within the media to elevate the death of Paul to the same level as the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr, Hate Crimes. See - Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act ...Andy Kahan’s hate crime rhetoric, the GLBT and Politicians willing to carry out his agenda have risen to a level that is reminiscent to the vigilantism of a lynch mob.  Jon’s release has become more and more difficult to achieve with each subsequent hearing. The vendetta that Andy Kahan created has risen to the current levels of deceit and secrecy where Politicians have willingly and wrongfully manipulated the parole process.  The Gay Community through the GLBT has in turn become guilty of the very thing they created legislation for – “Hate Crimes”. 

For ten (10) years I allowed the processes to be what they were in hopes that the Parole Board would do the right thing considering that they were to judge Jon’s release on what he has demonstrated over the years of his incarceration on not the current forces that are restricting their positive vote to release. 

In 2013 with the help of Bill Habern and others it was brought to the attention of the authorities that Andy Kahan was using his HPD position as the Victims Advocate illegally. He is presently under internal investigation with the possibility of prosecution for a felony crime.  How this will play out is anyone’s guess at the moment.  That is to say, the same Political friends aiding Andy in Jon’s non-release vote may well be trying to cover this incident as other Politicians have covered Andy’s transgressions in the past.

In order to level the playing field in this arena I am reaching out to the masses, through information included within this writing, seeking help to stop the injustice that has taken place over the past 23 years.  While Jon deserved prison time for his part in the death of Paul, in no way did he deserve more than the 5 others that were equally guilty of this tragedy.  As it is Jon has served 8 years beyond their sentences and may well serve many more if I am unable to stop the Political machine that Andy has put into play.   

As the following is quite lengthy I will summarize my intent here:  If after reading this posting you in turn feel that Jon is deserving of a second chance please write to your district and state representatives and the Parole Board members listed at the end of this posting with your noted disdain for their actions in Jon’s parole processes.


The Road to Perdition began In 2003 - Houston’s Gay community moved from the public arena to the parole proceedings.  Aided by the media, Andy Kahan took up the banner of public justice and began the crusade to keep Jon in prison.  Andy had at his beck and call all Houston media outlets - ABC, NBC, CBS, The Houston Chronicle and the Houston Press willing to promote his agenda.  It is believed that Andy also had inroads into the TDCJ with individuals who had direct access to Jon’s file willing to feed him information[Although knowledgeable sources have expressed this, proof is not readily available, it is believed that a person known to me only as “Raven”, who worked within a victims’ advocacy group, aided Andy by removing positive information from Jon files and replacing it with erroneous information like the knife he continues to show in the media]

I met with Mrs. Owens (lead voter) along with my wife, Jon’s stepmother, and Ray Hill (Gay Activist and Prison Reform Advocate and Radio Personality).  My wife and I expressed to Mrs. Owens our wishes that Jon be released and that we would provide a home, support and guidance to help him adjust.  We recounted Jon’s accomplishments (three college degrees) obtained while in the TDCJ.  We provided a signed petition of 150 plus names of supporters
Ray Hill explained his role in promoting Jon as a poster child to further hate crime legislation for the Gay Community.  He also elaborated on the fact that most of the pretrial media was biased towards those goals.  He expressed his, then current, relationship with Jon and that he had come to know Jon as an honest, caring and trustworthy person in total contrast to his original perception.  He further elaborated on what actually occurred the night of Paul’s demise and the lack of expediency from medical respondents to the scene.  He still shares the same views.
At my request Mrs. Owens went to see Jon and I believe that the face to face tempered her decision on the amount of time that he was to be set-off.  Frankly I thought that the set-off was due more to the other defendants in this case still being in the TDCJ than with any specific abhorrence she may have had for Jon.  Although sadden by the decision, I understood the decision in this context and accepted it as logical at the time.  We concluded that two (2) years in the scheme of things would not be long if Jon were to receive parole on his next review.

In 2005 - I met with Mrs. Owens again and expressed my hopes that Jon would be paroled.  I thought surely that she would grant Jon parole as all other defendants had been released and Jon had an impeccable record.  We reiterated Ray Hill’s involvement in Jon’s sentencing and his role in the bogus media play pertaining to Paul’s death.  However we were shocked she returned a non-release avocation.
I became painfully aware of Andy Kahan; his use of Paul’s, Nancy Rodriguez, to obtain entry in to the parole proceedings and pervert them; his stepped up media play and use of Mrs. Rodriguez to perpetrate lies to the public, and to influence Mrs. Owens decision making processes in favor of a non-release disposition.  This was in my opinion a banner year for Mr. Kahan and his influence over the parole proceedings.  The Board submitting to his influence affirmed that his use of the media could motivate the Board into adopting a compromised position when it came to the high profile cases that he wished to pursue.

In 2007 - I met with, Mr. Conrith Davis. (lead voter) I was a little taken back by this because Mrs. Owens met with Andy Kahan and Mrs. Rodriguez but not with me.
Mrs. Susan Bardwell, Police Reporter, (now Diseased) for the Houston Chronicle and Houston Post during the years leading up to and after Jon’s conviction, accompanied me to the Board.  Mrs. Bardwell was originally opposed to Jon’s release because her son was Gay, until she met and talked with me.  At that time she come to know the truth about that night, and went to meet Jon.  She became an advocate for Jon’s release and talked with Mr. Davis about Jon and her perspective on things. Although Mrs. Bardwell is no longer with us but I am sure that she would still support Jon’s release[Mrs. Bardwell wrote a positive Houston Chronicle about Jon this same year.  However, I can no longer find it in the Media archives].
Had I known the damage that Mr. Kahan and Mrs. Rodriguez would do impressing Mr. Davis’ decision I would have taken steps to present Jon’s worthiness for parole to him differently.  Had I known that Mrs. Owens would not be part of the process, although I think she had a great deal of influence on them, I would have approached Mr. Davis with more skepticism concerning his knowledge about Jon’s case.
I can only conclude that what transpired in The Board office by what was said the afternoon after their interview.  Mr. Kahan and Mrs. Rodriguez at KTRH-740 Radio along with Chris Baker proceeded to tell vicious lies about Jon and how they had persuaded the Board to off-set Jon’s parole and bragged that they agreed to keep Jon in the TDCJ for up to 27 years to equal Paul’s age at his death. [This is the first time 27 years is mentioned in any context to Jon’s sentence length]  Chris Baker’s program was where Andy Kahan first made the statement that Jon “Gutted Paul like a Pig” and then later that same day on a trailing news bulletin had Mrs. Rodriguez restate it as “Gutted like a deer”
After Jon was set-off I called Mr. Davis and asked why Jon was set-off and why for 2 years.  His reply seemed a little trite at the time as his reply was that the 2 years just followed suit with what was previously used as a set-off time.  At a later date, not long after that, during a meeting at the Wynne Unit with Peer Group Counseling of Inmates, Jon approached both Mr. Davis and Mrs. Owens.  Mr. Davis expressed to Jon that his time for parole was coming.


In 2009 - I started early in the processes pertaining to Jon’s parole in hopes to circumvent Mr. Kahan and Mrs. Rodriguez’s perversion of the parole process by pointing out various things to Mrs. Owens.  I wrote several letters to her and hand carried them to the Huntsville office for delivery to her out of fear that they would not be given to her if there was a mole [Raven] within TDCJ and possibly even the Board offices.  My intent was to make Mrs. Owens aware that Jon has worth.  He made a grave mistake as a youth, however I believe with all my heart that he has taken responsibility for his actions and carries a great burden in his life pertaining to Paul’s death.
 I gave a copy of the autopsy report to Mrs. Owens showing - the wounds that Jon inflicted on Paul were not of the gutting type, nor would they in themselves have caused Paul’s death.  I did this to combat the lies being told by Mr. Kahan and Mrs. Rodriguez.  I further showed that Paul did not die that night, rather later the next day and all the ramifications leading up to his death, giving credence to what Ray Hill had said in her office in 2003. 
[Although Jon contributed to Paul’s death, he was not the sole perpetrator. 5 other boys participated and that Houston’s paramedics were also complicit.  Since that eventful night three separate and independent pathologists have confirmed that the knife wounds in themselves, had Paul been properly attended to, would not have led to Paul’s death.]
I further re-attested to Mrs. Owens all accomplishments that Jon has achieved while incarcerated in the TDCJ.  That being:  Three college degrees prior to the 2003 parole review.  Since then and in particular in the years between his 2007 set-off and  2009 Jon went from being a dock truck loader to the Lead Administrator (Computer Tech) responsible for the Wynne Prison Unit Computer Network while he was there.  During that same two (2) years Jon obtained 8 separate Microsoft System Engineering Certificates and Three Cisco Systems Certificates.  [The significance in this was that Jon processes the credentials to obtain a serious work once outside of the TDCJ and be successful.]
 Officially at Jon’s hearing, I met with Mrs. Owens and Mr. Leeper seeking Jon’s parole once again.  I brought up Jon’s achievements over the past two (2) years and showed the opportunities he would have available to him once released.  We noted that he was involved in a Christian Out-reach program and at that time, in a section of the Wynne Unit called the Christian Dorm.  At this point in time Jon was in the last weeks of the program and was to move on to other endeavors.  Mrs. Owens and Mr. Leeper were very interested in this aspect of Jon’s involvement in prison programs.  Prior to making a ruling on Jon’s parole Mrs. Owens went to see Chaplain Hill, at the Wynne Unit about Jon.
 [A discussion about Jon occurred at this time between Chaplain Hill and Mrs. Owens and ended with Jon being conscripted by Chaplain Hill and two other correctional officers to help in an upcoming new influx of inmates to the Christian Dorm which would culminate in March of 2010.  Mrs. Owens returned a ruling of “Under Continuous Review” with no definite dates. It was my feeling that they were to rule in Jon’s favor in March 2010 to be released.  We were in hopes that Jon would be home by mid-year. ]

In 2010 - To my astonishment Jon’s parole did not occur as Jon was brought up on charges in March of 2010 for inappropriate liaisons with a correctional officer.  He was stripped of his classification and 30 days of his good time.  He was also removed from the Wynne Unit and his IT job with computers, and shipped to the Wallace Unit in Colorado City, Texas. 
The circumstances leading up to Jon’s case were something out of the Twilight Zone.  The perverted twist that the Wynne Unit Warden and Unit-Under Warden put on Jon’s relationship with Chaplain Hill are what you would expect in a prison movie where a Warden with absolute power wanted to destroy someone’s life.  Destroy not only Jon’s parole chances but also one of their own, Chaplain Hill’s spotless records of service.  Further, it is beyond my comprehension to understand why the Justice System would have a Christian Dorm with outreach programs that are designed to show inmates how to trust and care about one another (Christianity) and then pervert a relationship developed in love of your fellow man, one of the five (5) types of love a human can possess.  I can only assume it was for the Warden and his underlings own self-gratification that it occurred. 
[It was, I believe a conspiracy to defame Jon, a conspiracy, initiated by Andy Kahan and his influence on the Warden at the Wynne Unit.  There is a good chance that no one will ever know all who were involved except the players.]
Jon was stripped of his classification and sent to the Wallace Unit.  His parole hearing was set off until March 2011.  Jon went to work as a sowing machine technician although he has schooling for much greater things. 
I spoke with Mrs. Owens and explained to her that Jon and Chaplain Hill had done nothing wrong.  Chaplain Hill challenged the TDCJ concerning the 10 counts against her.  Eight (8) of the rulings were in her favor by the State Attorney and the TDCJ was given notice to provide the tapes to her that they had made.  Chaplain Hill’s Lawyers since then have noted that the tapes, under normal circumstances, amount to nothing, and. that the situation and context of the offenses were perverted by officials of the Wynne Unit. 
Jon went through two (2) Lie Detector Tests with the unanimous decision being that there was no deception in his answers.  The significance in this is that they asked Jon all sorts of questions pertaining to his character and involvement in things contrary to his well-being in prison life.  Several technicians that reviewed the LD tapes agreed that Jon was truthful.  To my way of thinking this in itself should remove all doubt about Jon’s worthiness for parole.
The problem is and has always been someone in a position of authority in the TDCJ seeking to harm Jon’s chances for parole.  Every time Jon has been eligible for parole someone or some situation from which Jon would later be exonerated would cause him problems that would greatly restricted his overall chance to obtain freedom.
The Chaplin Hill information was released to the Houston Press by someone in the Wynne Unit by way of Mr. Kahan.  He was given specific information that was only known by the parties involved, Chaplain Hill, myself and the officials at the Wynne Unit.  For the eight (8) months prior to the Houston Press release all was silent.
Mr. Kahan, the liberal press, Hate Crime rhetoric, and who ever at the Wynne Unit, furthered the perversion of the truth to bolster Mr. Kahan’s rhetoric that Jon is not worthy of parole.  Jon was not sentenced under the hate crime laws.  Without any thought processes other than the preservation of this power over the process, Mr. Kahan obtained and released to the public through the Houston Press information about Chaplain Hill’s job.  His release of this information to the general public caused Chaplain Hill loss of employment; curtailed her relationship in the Girl Scouts and employment with the Huntsville school district.  He has used the office of “Victims Advocate”, which he created for his own betterment, to slander and pervert truth as it pertains to Chaplin Hill and my son, Jon.
The forces trying to keep my son in prison are numerous and not all known. Although Jon has excelled in every program that the justice system has allowed him to participate in, it has become nearly incomprehensible as to what is expected of him to be considered for parole.  It is understandable Paul Broussard’s mother, Mrs. Rodriguez, will continue protest his release until the end of her days.  However, it amazes me to see people like Mr. Kahan prey on her emotions to further his agenda. [As can be concluded from the information provided above, Mr. Kahan has been prevalent in all the parole decisions since Jon first came before the Board for parole]
Andy has been successful in his perversion of the truth to such an extent that even Paul’s mother is victim to the hype.  Nancy Rodriguez’s rant of untruths on public radio about the death of Paul, at the coaching of Mr. Kahan has bonded .  I’ve seen pictures of things said to have been used to cause the death of Paul when in fact they weren’t.  Mr. Kahan on several occasions showed a picture of a knife that was big enough to kill an elephant when in fact the knife was never admitted to trial.  Jon did not have a trial.  Jon was forced into a plea bargain for 45 years.  Now I ask you, how is 45 years a bargain?

In 2011 - I went to the parole board in Amarillo Texas to speak with Commissioner Shipman with Bill Habern, Attorney at Law, about Jon’s release.  We presented our documents to refute the offering of Andy Kahan showing them to be erroneous and misleading. Four days later the two voting members granted Jon Parole with an FI-2 designation.  This meant that he would be let out at a specific date in the future.  That date was set in October of 2011. As in the past Andy Kahan knew of this long before anyone else and was immediately in the media with his propaganda.  The Houston Chronicle and numerous Broadcast stations picked up on the rhetoric and begin to publicize critically Jon’s release.  At the time I did not give it thought as I knew well that there would be some protesting and as often happens this would die down when it was no longer a hot news item.  What I was not aware of was the underhandedness of Andy Kahan and the extent of his underhanded ways of doing business.
While on a job assignment overseas I was informed that Jon’s parole had been overturned before it even began.  To my amazement the Parole Board reversed its previous decision on Jon’s release based on the premise that new information had been presented to the board warranting review.  At that time I was taken back because if Jon did not receive a trial with evidence being submitted then, what evidence could be submitted 20 years later to influence any decision that was to be made regarding his parole.
On returning to the United States a week later I started my discovery processes into what occurred.  To my astonishment I learned that Andy Kahan, Houston’s self-proclaimed Victims Advocate, had went to Pat Lykos, Houston’s District Attorney, Garrnet Coleman, State Representative and John Whitmire, State Senator with spurious information about Jon that was of such as sensitive nature they could not be release to the public.  They in turn, without any truthful knowledge about Jon’s case other than the media (mostly all negative) proceeded to conspire to write letters to the Parole Board Chairperson, Mrs. Ressie Owens, protesting the decision of the Boards release of Jon. This I believe prompted Mrs. Owens to send a third voter to the Amarillo region along with the two Commissioners that voted Jon’s release to reopen the proceedings.  In my opinion, this was a methodology to cover up the direct request of John Whitmire, State Senator to not release Jon.  [The significance of this is that John Whitmire State Senator serves as Chair of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.]  This Committee has great influence over the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. At this time I became painfully aware that Jon had become A Political Prisoner of the State of Texas.

In 2012 - I went to the Angleton Board and spoke with Mr. Davis.  I thought that the meeting with Mr. Davis would go well as Jon had a history with him (See summary 2007).  Mr. Habern (Jon’s council) and Mr. Berryhill (Professor of Journalism at TSU) accompanied Lan and I to the Board.  Mr. Berryhill gave Mr. Davis his views of his investigations along with Mr. Habern’s submittal of certified documents of three additional (3) polygraphs taken by Jon to vindicate him in all aspects of issues created over the years by Mr. Kahan and the Media.
During the same time period Mr. Habern and I were making our presentation to Mr. Davis, Mr. Kahan was in the media espousing his ownership of Jons’ TDCJ disciplinary records showing that Jon was less than a model prisoner and that the Board would make a favorable decision in behave of Mrs. Rodriguez.  Legal discovery of those same records by Mr. Habern showed that Jon had been disciplined on three specific occasions during his 21 year incarceration, for minor infractions.  What is noteworthy here is that none of those violations were of a violent nature.  Jons’ deplorable violations according Mr. Kahans rhetoric in the media amounted to: 1-having a piece of wire for hanging clothes, 2-having a pair of sunglasses without record and 3-having one pair of under-wear too many.  Mr. Kahan, along with Mrs. Rodriguez, perverted the issues about Jon’s disciplinary records in the too obliging media to influence Mr. Davis, to decline the release of Jon. 
My tentativeness to Mr. Kahans’ perversion of facts on Fox26 News showed that Mr. Kahan had Mr. Haberns’ Parole Brief, a document that was submitted to the Board prior to our visit.  This made me wonder how he obtained this document before it was made public record.  That being by myself or Mr. Habren because technically once it is placed in Jon’s’ file only State and Board Officials have privy to it.   [At the time I could only surmise that a State or Board Official gave it to him.]  I told Mr. Habern of my discovery and my concerns that there was underhandedness in Jon’s’ parole proceedings. 

Mr. Habern obtained, by law, this video from Channel 26 News and after review filed it with the State District Attorney in Austin, as the complainant, attesting that there is a violation of Federal Law by Mr. Kahan and an unknown State Representative that gave him the file.  [Not for the brief, rather for the disciplinary records]
Proceedings are presently taking place in this matter.  Mr. Kahan bragged to a Canadian Journalist, doing a documentary on Jon, that a State Representative had given him Jon’s files and that there was enough information in them to keep Jon in prison during the upcoming years ahead.
Shortly there-after Mr. Davis resigned from the Board due to difficulties with the release of a serial Child Molester who jumped his monitor and fled. [This was in great contrast to his decline of release for Jon, a model inmate, with 3 degrees and an enrolled student in the Master Program at the Ramsey Unit.]
As the Parole Board continues to work in secret and allow unscrupulous [possibly felonious] individuals as Andy Kahan, and State Politicians, US Politicians and groups like the GLBT, influence their decision making, I feel fully justified in viewing Jon as a political prisoner to the State and the self-serving groups perverting the issues.  Eventually the truth will prevail and I will get to the crux of why the Board finds it so hard to release someone who has proved time and time again that he is worthy of parole. 


In 2013 – Jon’s parole processes were scheduled for August then moved to the 10th of September.  I was encouraged that I would have a good chance at getting Jon paroled this time because in August,  Mr. Michael Berryhill released his investigative report in the Political Blog “GritsForBreakfast” - Death of Paul Broussard, the Parole of Jon Buice - Grits for Breakfast.  This in turn was followed by an article in the Texas Tribune - Complaint: Legislator Illegally Released Inmate's File | The Texas ... which started the investigation of Andy Kahan for illegal activities in his pursuit to keep Jon in prison.  GritsForBreakfast followed with a second article furthering the investigation of Andy Kahan –  Grits for Breakfast: Victim advocate Andy Kahan walks back claim of ..., which in turn prompted Ted Oberg of ABC News to publish a report - Killer's lawyer says crime advocate improperly shared convict's ...Following Ted Oberg’s report The Houston Press Blog, Hair Balls published - HPD Investigating Victims' Crime Advocate Andy Kahan

 

 On September 10, 2013 - I went to the Angleton Board and spoke with Board Member - Mrs. Cynthia Tauss.  At my request Board Commissioners, Lynn Ruzicka and Fred Rangel were present for Mr. Bill Habern and I to present our brief in support of Jon’s worthiness for parole.  The session went well and I felt that we had a good chance at getting Jon released.  Considering all the information that we had on Andy Kahan and the lies that he has consistently told it should have been a non-issue.  Mrs. Tauss said that she would go to visit with Jon prior to making a decision and she did.

 On September 24, 2013 - Andy Kahan, Noel Freeman (GLBT Caucus Chairman) and Nancy Rodriguez went to the Board with a document supposedly very damaging to Jon. [It became known, by chance review of data I processed from Jon’s sentencing days, that Andy had obtained (illegally-possibly?) through is contacts, a copy of an interview with Mike Anderson [District Attorney during Jon’s sentencing days - now deceased]
This interview was after Jon accepted the plea deal and never was admitted or vetted in a court of law and was more about the others involved rather than Jon.  It was given by Jon nearly a year and half after the death of Paul.  Jon at that time was under the opinion that he alone caused the death of Paul with his knife wounds.  It would be nearly 5 years before documents would surface from various sources to show that the knife wounds in them-selves would not necessarily have caused Paul death.  

On September 25, 2013 - Houston hosted a Victims of Crime Rally in Houston.  It is my belief that Andy had staged this rally to coincide with Jon’s parole hearing as September was the original time frame set the year before for Jon next hearing.  The Kahan organization was not prepared for the Board’s processes to bring Jon up early for parole in August.  More-than-likely, requested through Mrs. Rodriguez, Andy asked that it be delayed until September.  That would explain the Board moving the process from August to September.  [I believe that Andy was prepared to present Mrs. Rodriguez as a key element of the televised showcase furthering his stranglehold on Jon’s release.]  Andy was not prepared for the HPD Internal Investigation of his felonious activities and the restrictions therein.  This more than likely forced him into giving his mantle of crusade to Noel Freeman chairman of the GLBT Caucus – Houston

On September 30, 2013 - Noel Freeman and Mrs. Rodriguez were given a televised interview by Mr. Randy Wallace of Fox26 News where Mrs. Rodriguez again stated that Jon “Gutted Paul like a deer”.  See comments at, http://inthedefenseofjonbuice.blogspot.com/ “The Hound is loose…Fox26” and “How Is It That”
On October 16, 2013 – Jon informs me that he has been set-off for another year.  He sees during a news cast that he has been denied.  The media and Mr. Kahan had this finding before Jon, Mr. Bill Habern or I.
On October 17, 2013 – Mr. Habern and I received the official notification that Jon had been set-off.  I asked Bill was there any reasons given by the Board for the set-off.  He said that there was no elaboration by them and that he suspected that it was due to “Public Perception”, translated from new-speak, [an Orwellian term from the book 1984, by George Orwell], “Political Pressure by Politicians”. 

On Mach 01, 2014 – Mrs. Alison Armstrong, Canadian Journalist and Documentary Producer, launched a Documentary Trailer along with commentary on “Kickstarter”, a web based organization that specializes in raising funds for documentaries. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2007855498/the-guy-with-the-knife.  In this documentary trailer- “The Guy with the Knife”, Alison re-affirms the conspiracy of the Houston victims advocate, the GLBT, local and state politicians and the Parole Board.  Ray Hill is shown infuriating the Montrose area gay community in 1991.  Andy Khan and the GLBT are shown placing petitions from the gay community in Jon’s file.  [Bill Habern nor myself have never seen what is in Jon’s file to vet out spurious information].  See information at September 30, 2013.

In conclusion, to those that have read this far into the article, I am requesting help to free my son, Jon C. Buice #630496 from the tyranny of Andy Kahan, known Politicians and unknown Politicians (State and National) by requesting that you - write your Representatives, Local, State and National about the total disregard for the rule of law in the matter of the Parole processes and Jon Buice.  Also write the Austin based, Parole Chair-person, Mrs. Ressie Owens showing your support for Jon’s release and your disdain for their secrecy in this matter.  Only by putting forth a concerted effort can I ever hope to find the person or persons that are derailing the Parole Process and free my son from their “Political Tyranny”
