New Evidence Lends Credibility to Oklahoma Veteran's Version of 2014 Shooting

Oklahoma Veteran Edwin Turlington charged in 2014 for shooting in self defense
On August 23, 2018 I published an article about an Oklahoma Army Veteran who has been fighting a 4 year legal battle for confronting trespassers who he suspected were making methamphetamine. The article entitled "Oklahoma Veteran Arrested for Defending Himself Against Alleged Meth-Maker" contained details about the confrontation between Oklahoma veteran Edwin Turlington, Darrell Philpott, Steven Barrett and an unidentified third man.

Turlington claims that Philpott became violent and charged him with a whiskey bottle after he tried to execute a citizens arrest on Philpott and it was at this time Turlington fired a single .380 caliber round into the front of Philpott's leg and then called 9-11.

Astonishingly Oklahoma Sheriff Harlan Moore believes that Turlington shot Philpott in the back of the leg while he was fleeing (despite photographic evidence and the ER nurse who treated Philpott who, in her notes stated the round entered the front of Philpott's leg and exited the back of his leg.

Sheriff Moore also stated that Philpott, Barrett and the unidentified man were merely cutting wood on what they thought was foreclosed property.

New evidence has emerged which validates Edwin Turlington's story.  Philpott was arrested on October 04, 2016 in Benton County, Arkansas on a Driving While Intoxicated charge. October 12, 2016 Benton County, Arkansas court documents about the arrest state:
A July 21, 2018 incident report from Arkansas again finds Philpott intoxicated on Hwy 72. In the report deputy Cedric Lampkin states that Philpott became combative and threatened to kill the deputy both at the scene and again at the jail.
Both the 2016 and the 2018 arrest records of Philpott show that he is a user of methamphetamine and becomes violent and threatening when confronted. 

Both the 2016 and 2018 arrest reports of Philpott confirm Edwin Turlington's description of Philpott's behavior on April 14, 2014. 

The big question is; Why is Oklahoma Sheriff Harlan Moore protecting Darrell Philpott?

How We Got Here , What Can We Do?

 For as long as I can remember both the Republican and Democratic parties have had their fair share of Lincoln defenders. The Republican Party was founded with the election of Abraham Lincoln thus Lincoln has been the party's trademark so to speak. The problem with this is that the Republican Party, presents itself as the party of smaller government, states rights and defenders of the Constitution and freedom. It is a problem because Lincoln was a proponent of big government, and committed acts that violated the Constitution. Ah, but defenders of Lincoln proclaim that President Lincoln had  to violate the Constitution to "save the Union." This defense of Lincoln by the Republican party has been effective from the end of the War Between the States until November , 2020 At the time of America's "Civil War" one could describe the Republicans as the Liberals and the Democrats as the Conservatives. This began to change with the election of President Franklin D. R...

An Open Letter to Cape Girardeau Missouri Mayor Bob Fox Regarding the City's Confederate Monument

An Open Letter to Cape Girardeau Mayor Bob Fox, Cape Girardeau, Missouri Dear Mayor Fox, On June 12, 2020 KFVS-12 news interviewed a “community activist” who created a petition calling for the removal of a memorial honoring Southeast Missouri’s Confederate soldiers. In the interview Sophia Voss made a baseless claim that the statue was originally erected in 1931 near the old Mississippi River bridge on Morgan Oak street as a warning to African-American citizens traveling through the area. There is no basis for that claim whatsoever. KFVS also interviewed “community historian” Denise Lincoln who stated, “I think that if I were African-American, bringing my family through this area, and the first thing I saw was CSA, a monument to the Confederacy, this might be a town you just keep driving through.” I can’t help but feel that Mrs. Lincoln lacks professionalism and objectivity. If I were an African-American traveling through Cape Girardeau the first thing I would notice is the depleted co...

U.S. Army Veteran and Private Investigator Edwin Turlington. On the evening of April 14, 2014 Edwin Turlington, a U.S. Army Veteran and Private Investigator who lives in Delaware County, Oklahoma noticed two men starting a fire on adjacent property owned by his brother. Ed tells me, "When I purchased the property it was land locked so my brother purchased the property next to it so I would not have to get an easement." The incident has placed Mr. Turlington in a four year legal battle and facing a 10 year sentence if convicted. Mr. Turlington states he: "Found three strangers, including convicted drug dealer Darrell Philpott cooking Meth on land his brother recently contracted for and already acquired the right to possess. Relying on his law enforcement training and experience, Ed realized the men had taken the  license plates off their truck, which is a significant indicator they were going out into the community with bad intentions. Ed executed a citizen...
