Carte Blanche to steal your kids for a paycheck!
Juvenile Dependency Court will support anything they say. We need to change this cash cow system. I have some ideas I am working on. Tell your story here:
With the design of this website so I direct you to the new one: www.donnellyjustice.nicepage.io. You can also learn about CPS at my other sites: www.billandsharon9.wordpress.com and www.thebloghoe.wordpress.com.
Throughout history, humans have severely abused children. We are evolving, ever so slowly, but there are still countries with cultures that have no empathy for their children. Here in the U.S., there are government officials and wealthy people who continue to prey upon our children in the worst ways. Royal families are still playing their annual games of hunting children in their basements, torturing them and killing them for fun. With all of our education regarding the psyche of children and our own personal experience being a child, you would think that we, as humans, would rise above such barbaric behavior. I expect that our Creator is truly upset with us and plans to eradicate us. From the looks of what has been unfolding and the plans the elite have for us, I believe our eradication is coming soon. Read this at your own risk, it is truly horrific.
CPS steals children, please watch this documentary. Produced by Patrick Howley and directed by Ben DeLaurentis, this film shows and proves everything I have been saying plus things I didn’t even know! CPS targeted children and families during COVID-19 shutdowns. I figured it was happening, I just wasn’t doing the research at the time.
To EVERY HEARTBROKEN MOTHER, FATHER, AUNT, UNCLE, COUSIN, BROTHER, SISTER, AND STEP-RELATIVES: I GRIEVE WITH YOU. I feel the pain and sorrow, I feel the loss, I feel the frustration, I feel the outrage, I feel the unfairness, I feel your need for help. What they are doing to you is a CRIME, in fact, many crimes over and over and over. They do not abide by their OWN laws and regulations, they do not adhere to their policies, procedures, and manuals. They do not do what they are supposed to do, they have no hearts, they have no souls, they work for a paycheck and your child is their meal ticket. That is the cold hard truth of it all. They don’t care about you or your child(ren) they claim to have “core values” that sound nice and helpful but those are just words they use to get away with what they do. Here is a clip from the Montana Child and Family Services Division regarding “core values”:
Do they realize that we can see right through these kinds of words? When INTEGRITY is a core value of social work, then STEALING children isn’t a moral issue for social workers. They remove, discriminately, choosing well-behaved, good-looking children, from decent parents for federal funds. Some of my readers have commented claiming CPS only removes children who are abused and neglected but most, not all, of those children do not have attractive adoptive qualities and many are treated even worse by social services, foster homes, and even after adoption. This most likely is due to behavioral issues. Foster parents should undergo a higher level of scrutiny and extensive training including psychology courses to understand these children better but it is very easy to become a foster parent hell, many foster parent’s backgrounds are overlooked and obtain exceptions due to the number of foster homes needed due to the volume of children who are removed from their homes. I will say this once again, children would rather be abused at home than by strangers. It is a difficult thing to swallow, I know but if you were a child and the option was presented to you, which would you choose?
Removing funding for foster homes, or at least greatly reducing the amount of money and making foster homing be a voluntary, for the good of the community action. If one cannot afford to take on the expense of another child then they should not be a foster parent. According to this literature, child welfare is supposed to be a community effort to better society. But the system protocols are insane, as Molly McGrath, former DPSS Director, would put it. They keep doing something that isn’t working.
This is not a site to come to if you are guilty of child abuse and looking for information on how to beat CPS. Most likely, you have custody of your children anyway, or better yet, CPS removed the children from the other, non-offending, parent and placed them with you, a monster in disguise.
I wish CPS lived up to it’s stated core values and actually cared about children, but they do not. Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that 55% of the children CPS rightfully removed (that is giving them one hell of a benefit of the doubt) there are still 45% that are wrongfully removed. THAT IS TOO MANY! I guarantee you that of that 55%, only 20% of those children are placed back at home, and of the 45% only 5% get placed back at home.
Each and every hour of each and every day I think about you Donnelly. I miss you so very much. My heart breaks again every day too as I think of the last time you saw me, “Mommy, me go with you, Mommy, me go with you!” as I was in handcuffs being taken to jail after I told the police everything. I was hoping they would realize that CPS was wrong and have no signed court orders giving them custody of you.
Please do not tell your unjust, typical CPS horror story here this is for those who have had a POSITIVE experience having this agency “help you” and “provide services” that have not done any emotional or physical damage to your family (so you think). I would like to make sure this site tells all sides good or bad.
My personal belief is that no one will comment except for a social worker or two pretending to be a parent or a troll looking to advertise something.. I will approve only positive comments here so again, if you have a horror story see the page entitled, “Families Destroyed – Tell your story here.”https://donnellyjustice.wordpress.com/families-destroyed-tell-your-story/
If one of your social workers was nice and helped you get your kids back you can comment here. If you are a social worker and want to defend your position and answer the question, “How do you live with yourself knowing you rip families apart?” Feel free.
I know when you were younger you actually remembered that you were adopted but for some reason you don’t remember now. I am praying that you have visited this site and watched some of the home videos and at least maybe kind of remember. I wish your adopted father would let us at least chat over messenger or text. You have a right to know the truth about what happened and why we lost you.
I AM NOT A CRAZY CRIMINAL like people have portrayed me. I have a criminal record, yes, and on paper it looks bad but I can explain everything. I have a kind heart and a restless soul ever since we lost you and it is very hard to cope sometimes but I am a very reasonable person and I am not dangerous. People who spoke bad of me had an agenda of their own for various reasons which I can explain. I wish my life wasn’t so complicated but like I said, sometimes I just want to crawl in a hole and never come out because it is extremely hard to overcome my record and what has been said about me. It seems like a lost cause to even try to help your family understand who I really am. I was a very attentive, loving, caring, nurturing mother and we didn’t deserve this separation. Not one bit. Please, Jon, please talk to me. I know you are a God-fearing, Jesus believing man, do you think that Jesus would keep a mother from her son if she was begging and pleading regardless of what others have said about her? I believe he would have an open heart yet take some precautions to ensure everyone’s safety. Measures can be taken to assure that no harm comes to Donnelly. We could have a Zoom meeting or something. You and I first, so you can get your own impression of who I am. I am begging you. Donnelly and I both need this desperately. I would have given my life to save Kristin and I told Arron to tell you that. If I could trade my life for hers I would do it in a heartbeat. I am so sorry for your loss.
Please email me and I will give you my phone number. donnellyjustice@hotmail.com.
Donnellyjustice Consulting can help you with your current CPS case. We believe that children belong at home. We can help you overcome obstacles that are seemingly put in your way on purpose with the intention to make you fail. Obstacles such as:
CPS’s stated purpose is to “protect children from maltreatment” and to “help families by providing services to correct the issues that brought the child to their attention”. They have cart blanche to do whatever they want, however they want, always reporting that their actions are “in the best interests of the child”. However, the child’s FAMILY is in the their best interests. Any parent who cares enough to fight for their child deserves their child. It is a known fact, and people think I am a monster for saying it but, children would rather be abused at home by their family rather than be abused by strangers. Foster care is a very dangerous place! I do not believe that any child should be abused nor do I believe your child was abused. That is why you are here.
This quote is referencing one county in Iowa specifically:
“To see the extent to which DHS buries its head in the sand about abuse in foster and adoptive homes, consider the most recent case: There were 68 reports; an older sibling even posted video of the abuse on Facebook and gave it to authorities. But no one responded until the older sibling gave the videos to a newspaper.“
– Richard Wexler
Richard Wexler is executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, www.nccpr.org
Currently, there are 600,000 CPS cases across the U.S. and more than half are in foster care or kinship care. That is a scary number.
If your child(ren) are with relatives you are a little better off than most because at least you know where they are. I can help you with issues with your family if there are any.
We can help guide you through this difficult time, we offer suggestions on how to appropriately fight for your child(ren) without offending social service workers. This is extremely helpful. We can and will advocate on your behalf and make formal complaints with the appropriate departments. We know how to gain leverage and we want to help you with that.

When can my heart beat again?
When does the pain ever end?
When do the tears stop from running over?
When does “you’ll get over it” begin?

Even if, if it’s not making sense
So when can I see you?
When can I see you again?
When can my heart beat again?
When can I see you again?
And when can I breathe once again?
And when can I see you again?
Please hear what I’m sayin’
Even if, if it’s not making sense
So when can I see you
When can I see you again?
can my heart beat again?
When can I talk to you again?
And when can I breathe once again?
And when can I see you again?
oh again, yeah
wanna see you again, yeah
oh, again

800 Child Abuse Reporting Hotline Operator: “Hello, how can I help you?”
Caller: “Yes, I want to report child abuse.”
800 Child Abuse Reporting Hotline Operator: “Can I have the name of the child and who is the caretaker?”
Caller: “Joey and his mother is beating him with a broomstick!”
800 Child Abuse Reporting Hotline Operator: “And how do you know this?”
Caller: “I hear the broomstick hit the child!”
800 Child Abuse Reporting Hotline Operator: “So you have not actually witnessed the child being beaten then?”
Caller: “No but I hear him crying!”
800 Child Abuse Reporting Hotline Operator: “Ok we will send someone out to check on Joey.”
What the caller does not know is that Joey is only 3 years old and was watching TV when the two dogs started playing and growling at each other playfully. They dogs knocked over the broomstick and it scared Joey. Joey’s mother quickly put the dogs outside and consoled her son. They played This Little Piggy” and soon Joey stopped crying. Joey’s mother put the broom in the closet.
Five days later, Joey’s mother gets a knock on the door. She opens it to two ladies with ID tags around their neck and one police officer. They ask to come in, thinking she could quickly show them everything is fine and they would leave.
The house was clean but a little messy as houses get messy with a three year old and a newborn baby. She asks what this was about. One of the ladies walked around the house and another took Joey into his room, closed the door and interrogated him as to sexual abuse. Joey’s mother objected but the police officer told her she had to let them talk to Joey privately. Joey did not comprehend the nature of the questions and kept shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders. He barely said two words which were the names of their dogs, Mary and Jane, from the nursery rhyme, “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and Jane from the children’s book, Dick and Jane.
The two ladies called their supervisor and told her that Joey indicated that the mother smokes marijuana and that the child may be at risk. Joey’s mother blurted out when she overheard that. Then the ladies were conversing about the mother being delusional and in denial. They were told to drug test the mother with an on-site mouth swab. Joey’s mother complied. After a few moments one of the ladies took the swab from the mother and placed it into a little thin cup. The two ladies eyebrows went up and they began to tell the police officer that they would be removing both children. More phone calls were made to their supervisor and to foster homes. They could not find one close that could accommodate the newborn and Joey and discussed what to do when the Judge asks why the children were not placed together or with family. They opted to keep the children together however, the foster home was 50 miles away.
Joey’s mother is frantic at this point. How could things go so wrong? She does not smoke pot so the test must be wrong. She denies any drug use so they say her kids are at risk of neglect because she won’t acknowledge her “problem”, even Joey told them about “Maryjane”. They tell her to go to court in two days. Joey is crying as they pick him up and put him in their county vehicle. They have to literally rip the newborn from Joey’s mother’s arms and now she is screaming. The police officer tells her to calm down or he will have to take her in on a 5150 charge. Joey screams from the car, “Mommy, don’t let them take me, Mommy, me stay with you!”
There have been parents who experienced something similar and NEVER SAW THEIR CHILDREN AGAIN! TELL ME THIS IS NOT KIDNAPPING!
This is how it happens. First, they come to the door FIVE DAYS after the original incident that the social workers never even mentioned. They come to the door and knock meaning they had no reasonable cause to even come to the door in the first place. They bring the police as an intimidation tactic, he is mostly there to protect the social workers. Joey’s mother should have never let them in. NO WARRANT NO ENTRY. Then they talk to Joey about sexual abuse, that in and of itself is sexual abuse. Then they make her take a mouth swab drug test which are NOT ADMISSIBLE IN COURT and are often WRONG. The only test that is admissible as evidence is a lab confirmed test. Joey’s mother should have refused and offered to go to a collection site for laboratory urine testing however, she did not have to take any test. Then, in the social worker’s report it will claim that they provided REASONABLE EFFORTS to keep the children in the home and obviously that will be a lie. Reasonable efforts is the key to their funding and they never try to keep the family together so they receiving federal funding fraudulently.
This story is not based on anyone I know but you can click on “Families Destroyed – Tell Your Story” at the top of this page and read actual horror stories, there are more stories as comments on past posts.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of thousands of parents whose children were kidnapped by the government. I will post more soon.
Donnelly, I love you so much, please call.
I have tried to make these videos simple yet, explanatory. I hope they are easy to understand. Donnelly is 13 now and may be wondering about his first family and where did we all go? We are all still here, waiting for him to grow up and ask about us and maybe try to contact us. He has always deserved to know that we did not abandon him, that we still love him with every breath we take.
That is not the end of the story, I am still working on the rest. But you can read the entire story, I will provide the link tomorrow.
WE ALL KNOW that CPS is corrupt as f_ck. We know what they do is illegal and immoral. THEY ALL KNOW this too. Alone, which is what you will be in your fight for your children, there is nothing you can do to change this WHILE YOU HAVE AN OPEN CASE AND WHILE THEY HAVE YOUR CHILDREN. The best thing to do is COOPERATE. After your case is closed, try to find an attorney to sue them or become an advocate.
Everyone read that? HELP YOUR CASE GO SMOOTHLY FOR THEM AND THEY WILL BE EXCITED TO RETURN YOUR CHILDREN. Sometimes I feel I have done parents a disservice by providing all of this information and explain what they do is illegal because that is not actually helping any parent get their child back. For that, I am truly sorry.
This is the best advice I can give to help you get your child back. All these are IMPERATIVE AND ESSENTIAL TO GETTING YOUR CHILDREN BACK.
If I think of anything else I will edit this post. I cannot guarantee this advice to work but it worked for me. Basically it is fighting them but very quietly.

If you are anywhere near the California State Capitol City of Sacramento, show your support and help raise awareness to the most neglected social issues facing the human race – see below:
These are funny cartoons that include references to actual cases in Riverside County, CA.
I was at a local bar, ET’s Lounge in Temecula, California, and doing my rap Karaoke and this young guy was with his buddies and they tried to play like they were okies from Oklahoma and acting like they were clueless on technology and Eminem and “smoking the pot”. However, I got to talk to him and somehow got involved in talking about CPS and you know, their B.S. I ended up getting a little irritated with this guy after he said he knew something as a fact and I said, “What are you a cop or something?” and he said,”Yes.” He said a few more things and I said, “You’re a fucking cop, I don’t talk to pigs.” Then I pointed him out to the rest of the bar just so they know he’s a cop. For this, Sir, I apologize. Sincerely. I should never have referred to you as a farm animal. I have friends and relatives that are police officers and it feels like when I called you a pig, I was calling them a pig and for that I am truly ashamed and embarrassed. It was completely out of line dramatic. I will never use that word when addressing an officer of the law ever again. I promise. I should have been more patient with you as you know not what you do. I understand you see the worst in people on a daily basis and it is hard to not form an attitude towards people in general. I am sure you really didn’t mean to say, “Fuck the families, fuck the parents, it SHOULD BE HARDER TO GET YOUR KIDS BACK.” I am quite sure you didn’t mean to say, “Fuck the family, I’m not going to burden aunts and uncles with a kid because his parents got in a fight so I take them directly to the group home.” I’m sure you don’t really do this. If you do, please do some research to see the outcome of these children and families and don’t be so bias. Imagine its your family, please. I really want you to fully comprehend the way the system is. Why don’t you start with the video below of Molly McGrath on Ted Talks regarding foster care. Then Google “Nancy Schaefer” and “Ted Gunnerson” on Youtube and watch them all the way through. Then, if you still don’t have a clue, there is nothing else I can say, but maybe this will intrigue you and you will research further. But I doubt it, you and your friends are probably trying to decide where you will be from the next time you go out. Have a wonderful day, Sir.
We LOVE this song, this video, this message. JUST LISTEN. We ask YOU, where IS the LOVE?

Hopefully it is not too intrusive.
Read the newsletter I have linked above. Note the first page where it states that LA County files over 100,000 Petitions each YEAR! Then, move on to the third page where it describes what the court provides for the children while they are at court. Sounds like a CIRCUS to me! Popcorn, games, representatives from the Wild Animal Zoo bringing animals to the court for the children’s “entertainment” because they usually leave court “in tears”. Well, if they were removing children from really abusive homes, they probably wouldn’t necessarily be in tears! They are in tears because THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM A DECENT HOME AND HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS AND THE COUNTY JUST DENIED THEM TO BE ABLE TO GO HOME!
This crap really pisses me off, they are fake scoundrels who earn a living off the stealing of our children!
Who must give permission to record a telephone or in-person conversation?
Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). This is called a “one-party consent” law. Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation. Furthermore, if you are not a party to the conversation, a “one-party consent” law will allow you to record the conversation or phone call so long as your source consents and has full knowledge that the communication will be recorded. Check your state’s law to see if they use the one-party consent law.
361.3. (a) In any case in which a child is removed from the physical custody of his or her parents pursuant to Section 361, preferential consideration shall be given to a request by a relative of the child for placement of the child with the relative, regardless of the relative's immigration status. In determining whether placement with a relative is appropriate, the county social worker and court shall consider, but shall not be limited to, consideration of all the following factors: (1) The best interest of the child, including special physical, psychological, educational, medical, or emotional needs. (2) The wishes of the parent, the relative, and child, if appropriate. (3) The provisions of Part 6 (commencing with Section 7950) of Division 12 of the Family Code regarding relative placement. (4) Placement of siblings and half siblings in the same home, unless that placement is found to be contrary to the safety and well-being of any of the siblings, as provided in Section 16002. (5) The good moral character of the relative and any other adult living in the home, including whether any individual residing in the home has a prior history of violent criminal acts or has been responsible for acts of child abuse or neglect. (6) The nature and duration of the relationship between the child and the relative, and the relative's desire to care for, and to provide legal permanency for, the child if reunification is unsuccessful. (7) The ability of the relative to do the following: (A) Provide a safe, secure, and stable environment for the child. (B) Exercise proper and effective care and control of the child. (C) Provide a home and the necessities of life for the child. (D) Protect the child from his or her parents. (E) Facilitate court-ordered reunification efforts with the parents. (F) Facilitate visitation with the child's other relatives. (G) Facilitate implementation of all elements of the case plan. (H) Provide legal permanence for the child if reunification fails. However, any finding made with respect to the factor considered pursuant to this subparagraph and pursuant to subparagraph (G) shall not be the sole basis for precluding preferential placement with a relative. (I) Arrange for appropriate and safe child care, as necessary. (8) The safety of the relative's home. For a relative to be considered appropriate to receive placement of a child under this section, the relative's home shall first be approved pursuant to the process and standards described in subdivision (d) of Section 309. In this regard, the Legislature declares that a physical disability, such as blindness or deafness, is no bar to the raising of children, and a county social worker's determination as to the ability of a disabled relative to exercise care and control should center upon whether the relative's disability prevents him or her from exercising care and control. The court shall order the parent to disclose to the county social worker the names, residences, and any other known identifying information of any maternal or paternal relatives of the child. This inquiry shall not be construed, however, to guarantee that the child will be placed with any person so identified. The county social worker shall initially contact the relatives given preferential consideration for placement to determine if they desire the child to be placed with them. Those desiring placement shall be assessed according to the factors enumerated in this subdivision. The county social worker shall document these efforts in the social study prepared pursuant to Section 358.1. The court shall authorize the county social worker, while assessing these relatives for the possibility of placement, to disclose to the relative, as appropriate, the fact that the child is in custody, the alleged reasons for the custody, and the projected likely date for the child's return home or placement for adoption or legal guardianship. However, this investigation shall not be construed as good cause for continuance of the dispositional hearing conducted pursuant to Section 358. (b) In any case in which more than one appropriate relative requests preferential consideration pursuant to this section, each relative shall be considered under the factors enumerated in subdivision (a). Consistent with the legislative intent for children to be placed immediately with a responsible relative, this section does not limit the county social worker's ability to place a child in the home of an appropriate relative or a nonrelative extended family member pending the consideration of other relatives who have requested preferential consideration. (c) For purposes of this section: (1) "Preferential consideration" means that the relative seeking placement shall be the first placement to be considered and investigated. (2) "Relative" means an adult who is related to the child by blood, adoption, or affinity within the fifth degree of kinship, including stepparents, stepsiblings, and all relatives whose status is preceded by the words "great," "great-great," or "grand," or the spouse of any of these persons even if the marriage was terminated by death or dissolution. However, only the following relatives shall be given preferential consideration for the placement of the child: an adult who is a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or sibling. (d) Subsequent to the hearing conducted pursuant to Section 358, whenever a new placement of the child must be made, consideration for placement shall again be given as described in this section to relatives who have not been found to be unsuitable and who will fulfill the child's reunification or permanent plan requirements. In addition to the factors described in subdivision (a), the county social worker shall consider whether the relative has established and maintained a relationship with the child. (e) If the court does not place the child with a relative who has been considered for placement pursuant to this section, the court shall state for the record the reasons placement with that relative was denied. (f) (1) With respect to a child who satisfies the criteria set forth in paragraph (2), the department and any licensed adoption agency may search for a relative and furnish identifying information relating to the child to that relative if it is believed the child's welfare will be promoted thereby. (2) Paragraph (1) shall apply if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) The child was previously a dependent of the court. (B) The child was previously adopted and the adoption has been disrupted, set aside pursuant to Section 9100 or 9102 of the Family Code, or the child has been released into the custody of the department or a licensed adoption agency by the adoptive parent or parents. (3) As used in this subdivision, "relative" includes a member of the child's birth family and nonrelated extended family members, regardless of whether the parental rights were terminated, provided that both of the following are true: (A) No appropriate potential caretaker is known to exist from the child's adoptive family, including nonrelated extended family members of the adoptive family. (B) The child was not the subject of a voluntary relinquishment by the birth parents pursuant to Section 8700 of the Family Code or Section 1255.7 of the Health and Safety Code.
[Latin, On the first appearance.] A fact presumed to be true unless it is disproved.
In common parlance the term prima facie is used to describe the apparent nature of something upon initial observation. In legal practice the term generally is used to describe two things: the presentation of sufficient evidence by a civil claimant to support the legal claim (a prima facie case), or a piece of evidence itself (prima facie evidence).
For most civil claims, a plaintiff must present a prima facie case to avoid dismissal ofthe case or an unfavorable directed verdict. The plaintiff must produce enough evidence on all elements of the claim to support the claim and shift the burden of evidence production to the respondent. If the plaintiff fails to make a prima facie case,the respondent may move for dismissal or a favorable directed verdict without presenting any evidence to rebut whatever evidence the plaintiff has presented. This is because the burden of persuading a judge or jury always rests with the plaintiff.
Assume that a plaintiff claims that an employer failed to promote her based on hersex. The plaintiff must produce affirmative evidence showing that the employer used illegitimate, discriminatory criteria in making employment decisions that concerned the plaintiff. The employer, as respondent, does not have a burden to produce evidence until the plaintiff has made a prima facie case of Sex Discrimination (TexasDepartment of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U.S. 248, 101 S. Ct. 1089, 67 L. Ed.2d 207 [1981]). The precise amount of evidence that constitutes a prima facie case varies from claim to claim. If the plaintiff does not present a prima facie case with sufficient evidence, the judge may dismiss the case. Or, if the case is being heard by a jury, the judge may direct the jury to return a verdict for the respondent.
Prima facie also refers to specific evidence that, if believed, supports a case or anelement that needs to be proved in the case. The term prima facie evidence is used inboth civil and Criminal Law. For example, if the prosecution in a murder casepresents a videotape showing the defendant screaming death threats at the victim,such evidence may be prima facie evidence of intent to kill, an element that must beproved by the prosecution before the defendant may be convicted of murder. On itsface, the evidence indicates that the defendant intended to kill the victim.
Statutes may specify that certain evidence is prima facie evidence of a certain fact.For example, a duly authenticated copy of a defendant’s criminal record may beconsidered prima facie evidence of the defendant’s prior convictions and may be usedagainst the defendant in court (Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 18-3-412 [West 1996]). A Civil Law example is a statute that makes a duly certified copy or duplicate of a certificateof authority for a fraternal benefit society to transact business prima facie evidencethat the society is legal and legitimate (Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 10-14-603 [West1996]).
Herlitz, Georg Nils. 1994. “The Meaning of the Term ‘Prima Facie.'” Louisiana LawReview 55.
(pry-mah fay-shah) adj. Latin for “at first look,” or “on its face,” referring to a lawsuit or criminal prosecution in which the evidence before trial is sufficient to prove the case unless there is substantial contradictory evidence presented at trial. A prima facie case presented to a grand jury by the prosecution will result in an indictment. Example: in a charge of bad check writing, evidence of a half dozen checks written on a non-existent bank account, makes it a prima facie case.
