The Skunk Docket

SOS — EMERGENCY · August 2026

SOS: Emergency Criminal Legal Aid Needed — A Frame-Up in Muskogee County, and the Prosecutor's Own Record — CF-2025-708

THE WHOLE CASE, IN FOUR WORDS: HE SAID SOMETHING.

Strip away every filing, every docket entry, every acronym, and the accusation at the root of State v. McDermott, Muskogee County No. CF-2025-708, is this: David Bruce McDermott II — a working man, a caretaker, a pro se litigant with a published Tenth Circuit reversal to his name — SAID SOMETHING. Words. To an out-of-state internal-affairs authority, years ago. No rock. No window. No hand raised. A pure-speech prosecution under 21 O.S. § 1173, now escalated to a bench warrant. This page is a public SOS for emergency criminal legal aid, addressed to every attorney, clinic, and organization that claims to stand for the First Amendment.

THE PROSECUTOR'S OWN FOOTPRINT — FROM A PUBLISHED SUPREME COURT OPINION

The District Attorney of Muskogee County is Janet Bickel Hutson. The following is not this platform's allegation — it is the Oklahoma Supreme Court's published record in Hutson v. Oklahoma Bar Association, 2019 OK 32: as a prosecutor, she took methamphetamine from a crime-scene search, altered the contents of the evidence bag, maintained a false account under oath before the Multicounty Grand Jury, and pled guilty to PERJURY, OFFERING FALSE EVIDENCE, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance — and was stricken from the roll of Oklahoma attorneys. Per subsequent public reporting, she was later reinstated and elected District Attorney. That is the office that swore the application now aimed at this founder's liberty. Read the opinion yourself — it is public.

WHAT HER OFFICE SWORE — AND WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS

On August 24, 2026, her office filed an Application to Accelerate swearing two grounds, and a bench warrant issued the same day (docket: 'BENCH WARRANT APPL. TO ACCELERATE ISSUED SHERIFF IN COUNTY'). Ground One swears he 'failed to provide proof' of a mental-health evaluation. The record: he completed it May 13, 2026 (Family & Children's Services — no serious mental illness found), emailed it May 15 to supervision officer Jacqueline Groce at her official state address, and she replied the SAME DAY, in writing: 'Received. Thank you.' Ground Two swears he violated 'the Court's order' to complete a hair-follicle test. The record: the court's own public docket contains NO testing order of any kind — what exists is Officer Groce's August 20 email (copying DA Hutson), a 'request' by its own terms, demanding a self-funded test AND laboratory results within 24 hours while he was working in Indiana — a physical impossibility — sent to an inbox where it landed in spam, unseen. Four days later: warrant.

THE RECORD BENEATH IT ALL

The plea proceeding underlying his deferred sentence had no court reporter present. Per Administrative Office of the Courts communications of record, it was captured on a prosecutor's personal cell phone, and transcribed from that audio months later by a 'Temporary Shorthand Reporter' whose certificate carries no CSR license number and hedges 'to the best of my ability.' Even that transcript ends with the judge saying: 'Okay. I'll do a release at this time.' Before any of it, he sat 121 days in jail with no bond ever set. The retaliation timeline is docketed: his sworn misconduct complaints went to oversight bodies August 20; the acceleration and warrant came August 24; the Oklahoma Council on Judicial Complaints holds three open files on this courtroom (COC-26-135, -136, -137); grievances are before the Oklahoma Bar; the file sits with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Oklahoma Attorney General.

THE SOS — WHO WE ARE CALLING

This is a formal, public request for emergency criminal-defense and First Amendment counsel — pro bono or low bono — directed to: the ACLU of Oklahoma; the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE); the Institute for Justice; the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; the Oklahoma Innocence Project; every Oklahoma law school clinic; and every private attorney who ever gave a speech about the First Amendment and meant it. The full verified record — every motion, exhibit, email, and docket printout — is public on this site and will be delivered to any attorney who requests it within the hour. Contact: Usagojunk@gmail.com — (757) 918-1558 — available day and night. A man who is being prosecuted for SAYING SOMETHING should not have to stand alone in front of a prosecutor with a perjury plea in her own file. If you stand for the First Amendment, this is what standing looks like. — A.B.M., Lead Counsel
