TRUTH
FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY OUR DAUGHTER, JENNIFER M. MORGAN TOOK HER OWN LIFE. SHE WAS PRETTY, FUNNY AND SMART AND UNFORTUNATELY HAD NO SELF-ESTEEM.
HER LEGACY WILL ALWAYS BE HER SON OWEN BRIGHT. HE WILL NOT BE RAISED THE WAY SHE WANTED HIM TO BE AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HIS FAMILY. WE TRIED TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION FOR JENNIFER, BUT WE WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL AND WE ARE SORRY FOR THAT.
YOU ARE ALWAYS LOVED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN BY DAVE AND I.
NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THE PEOPLE WHO RUINED HER LIFE:
NATALIE BRIGHT
GAIL FAGEN
DAN BRIGHT
SARAH TACKETT
BILL WALL
GREG O'HALLORAN
CITY OF OLATHE, KANSAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
This is a photo of my grandson, Owen Bright with one of our cats. This picture along with 400 more was presented in court at trial. Natalie Bright and her attorneys (Sanford Krigel and Karen Rosenberg of Krigel & Krigel) implied that I put my grandson in danger of an allergy attack by letting him around our cats. They claimed he had an allergy to pet dander, yet at the time Jennifer Morgan and Natalie Bright had dogs and they knew we had cats. My comment in court was "look at how Owen's eyes were running and he was sneezing" NOT!!!!!!
DEPOSITION QUESTIONS
TRUTH
The purpose of a deposition is to accuse, ridicule and try to catch someone in a lie. And also to run down the person being deposed. In my case I was asked some really personal and outlandish questions. Following are some of the questions.
Do you know how old she (Jennifer Morgan) was when she passed away?
You don't believe that Jennifer Morgan had any other children, do you?
Did Jennifer Morgan growing up have any emotional problems?
Other than immediately prior to Jennifer Morgan's death, did she ever suffer from any kind of emotional problems?
Did you and Jennifer Morgan always have a good relationship?
Were there things that Jenny did that you (me) felt were inappropriate during that time period (previous 5 years)?
Did you (me) ever tell Jenny that you thought her relationship with Natalie Bright was inappropriate?
Have you ever seen Owen's (Jennifer's son) adoption decree?
I (Sanford Krigel, Natalie Bright's Attorney asks) want to make sure that I have your son's name and your first husband's name straight. Are they similar; are they both John McDermott?
Let's talk (again Sanford Krigel, Natalie Bright's Attorney) talk about you son, John P. McDermott. Was he ever hospitalized when he was a youth for mental health issues?
Have you ever been hospitalized for mental health issues?
Did your son, John P. McDermott, ever attempt suicide?
Information that I (Sanford Krigel, Natalie Bright's Attorney) is that when John P. McDermott, your son, was a teenager, he was in a hospital psychiatric unit.
Do you have a specific recollection of your son being in a psychiatric hospital?
Have you had any kind of meaningful relationship with your son since he's been 18?
Prior to your daughter's death, did you have any concern that if something would happen to her, you may not be able to see your grandson?
I (Sanford Krigel, Natalie Bright's Attorney) want to take your husbands deposition later today. Do I have your word that you won't talk to him about this issue between now and the time he's deposed? This particular question concerned the fact that Jennifer Morgan, before she died made my husband Dave and I promise to have Owen Bright's adoption by Natalie Bright overturned due to the torture she experienced at the hands of Natalie Bright, Gail Fagen and Dan Bright. Jennifer knew she had made a grave mistake in letting these devils into her and Owen Bright's life.
Did Jennifer ever date African American men?
Did you ever express to her (Jennifer Morgan) any displeasure abut her dating men who were African American? This concerned a time when Jennifer was in her late teens. My answer: I expressed to her my feelings about dating anyone who is already married. Black or white.
Did you ever refer to this man as a ni----? My answer: absolutely not. THIS IS NATALIE BRIGHT AND HER ATTORNEY, SANFORD KRIGEL TRYING TO IMPLY I WAS A RACIST.
How often did your husband (EX), John McDermott, get behind in child support?
When did your parents pass away?
How old were you when your mother and father got divorced?
You and your husband fight occasionally?
Is there any significant relationship that you've had with any relative other than your current husband (28 years) that did not have some pretty intense fighting from time to time? This is Natalie Bright and her attorney, Sanford Krigel trying to imply I had a violent temper and therefore a danger to my grandson, Owen Bright.
Have you ever thrown anything at your husband?
Has there ever been any physical violence between you and your husband?
Have you ever had any criminal involvement?
Have you ever had a DUI charge, for example?
Do you drink?
Have you ever been drunk in the last 5 years?
When you were a child, did your father ever act inappropriately to you in a sexual manner?
Have you ever attempted suicide?
Have you ever taken a drug overdose?
Have any of your physicians that you have ever met with advised you that it would be good for you to see a psychiatrist?
Did you sign a release to allow us (Sanford Krigel, Natalie Bright's attorney) to have access to your therapist, Dr. Lange's records? I went to see a therapist after Jennifer Morgan (my daughter) committed suicide to help me with the grief of losing her and my grandson Owen Bright at the same time. I was then asked about antidepressants and any other medicines I took. Then went back to questions about my father. I guess they thought they would confuse me. Then on to a question about my husband that was so bizarre I wanted to throw up.
Do you know whether Dave ---your husband has ever committed any kind of credit card fraud?
Have you ever earned income that you didn't report to the IRS?
After various stupid questions about the IRS and what I was paying Joshua T. Mathews, The Mathews Group, my attorney at the time Sanford Krigel, Natalie Bright's attorney, asked:
Did you ever tell Jenny that her father didn't want her?
Did Jenny's father exercise his visitation rights with Jenny?
Did you ever tell Jenny her father wasn't a good person?
You don't know how far behind Jenny's father was with respect of child support. Is that correct?
My records reflect that there was a period of time, perhaps as long as seven years where you and Jenny didn't speak to each other regularly. Is that accurate? His records. Whatever Natalie Bright dreamed up. There is not and could not be any kind of record of how many times someone had contact with another person. This is the kind of underhanded lying crap that Natalie Bright would want someone to believe. Just accuse someone and it becomes part of a BOGUS RECORD. This is how Natalie Bright, Gail Fagen, Dan Bright, Sarah Tackett and the City of Olathe, Kansas Police Department drove Jennifer Morgan to take her own life.
The first time that you became aware that Jennifer Morgan removed Natalie Bright's name as beneficiary and placed you name as beneficiary was following Jenny's death?
Have you ever referred to Jenny as a dyke?
Have you ever referred to Natalie Bright as a dyke?
When did you first become aware that your daughter was a lesbian?
Would you have a problem if Owen Bright (my grandson) grew up and he was gay?
When was the last time you consumed alcoholic beverages?
When was the last time you were intoxicated?
Did you ever drink in excess when Owen Bright was around?
Have there been periods of time for a month or two or three that you haven't consumed alcoholic beverages over the last five years?
We are only on page 99 of my 6 hour deposition and it is exhausting going through it. Total pages are 193, so the next blog will go along these lines. The pain of some of these questions were excruciating but if anyone out there wants GRANDPARENTS VISITATION RIGHTS, YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED AND THAT IS WHY I WRITE THIS BLOG.
