If you’re one of the many victims or witnesses who have spoken to me, and you are aware of recent developments in the Hamblin case pertaining to Joseph Wood Bennio and Lee Patricia Udall Bennion’s stalking injunction against me, do not worry.
I will go to jail and pay a fine before I ever reveal a source or betray agreed upon confidentiality. I don’t believe I will have to make that choice, because Utah’s Rules of Evidence make it clear that “[a] news reporter or confidential source has a privilege to refuse to disclose — and to prevent any other person from disclosing — confidential source information, unless the person seeking the information demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that disclosure is necessary to prevent substantial injury or death.”
Additionally, the temporary stalking injunction granted by Judge Marvin Bagley is without merit as a matter of law and fact. When asked, Judge Bagley did not cite a single specific alleged instance of conduct in the Verified Petition that fit within the stalking statute. He stated that one does not have to have contact at all with the supposed stalking victim, directly or indirectly, and said that calling the Bennions Satanists or alleged Satanists was stalking. The absurdity is obvious, and Judge Bagley will have retired by September 30th, which means that he will not be the judge presiding over the November 18th hearing.
Over the past two years, I have taken ample precautions to prevent the confidential information provided to me by sources and witnesses from ever being revealed. If there are consequences for refusing to reveal that information, I will bear them.
I will never betray a source or a witness who has told me the truth under the condition of confidentiality. I never have, and I never will.
Fatty Boom Boom, also known as Caleb Proulx, may attempt to utilize discovery to ascertain confidential sources and information, but he will fail. I will not cede an inch. He may attempt to utilize law fare to go on fishing expeditions, but he will be unsuccessful. Futility is the middle name of toadies such as Fatty Boom Boom, no matter how they obtain their absurd outcomes.
I am confident that as a matter of both law and fact, I did not stalk the Bennions, who I have never had any contact with and who I have dissuaded others from contacting for two years.
If you gave me information, I will go to jail for whatever length of time to protect your identity and your information. I will deal with the consequences of keeping your confidence. Deus Vult.
Go El, You are a Hero!
