Halburn Loses Again
In a unanimous memorandum decision in the case of State of WV v. Mark Halburn, issued on April 15, the West Virginia Supreme Court has handed Mark Vance Halburn yet another loss. This makes Halburn’s third loss before that body.
That’s right Halburn. You lose again.
All new court, but we’re still laughing at you, bitch.
And it’s basically a NO SOUP FOR YOU, no oral argument decision for him. They didn’t even need to hear his decrepit lawyer’s presentation.
Halburn was convicted by a Putnam County jury in 2017 of violating a personal protective order granted to Dr. Joseph Matusic.
He appealed the conviction to Circuit Court, where it had to be heard in Cabell County, due to all the judges in Putnam County recusing themselves. Cabell Circuit Judge Paul Farrell affirmed the ruling from magistrate court.
His argument for appeal is the same old litany of excuses that Halburn always trots out.
“I can do whatever I want. I’m the news media.”
“My 14th Amendment rights were violated.”
All pretty much what was expected.
No, jerkoff, your First Amendment rights weren’t violated.
The First Amendment does not give members of the press immunity from criminal prosecution for criminal acts.
Halburn’s excuse seems to be, “But WOWK went onto his property. I can too.”
As Matusic testified, “I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.’
The hilarious thing in all this is how many times a court has told him in multiple ways that he’s not media.
Halburn argued that Cpl. Johnson’s violated his 14th Amendment rights because Johnson failed to interview him before seeking an arrest warrant.
Cpl. Johnson had probable cause to arrest Halburn based on Dr. Matusic’s statement and the pictures Dr. Matusic took Halburn sitting in his car in Dr. Matusic’s driveway. All the deputy would have gotten from Halburn is lies and bullshit. He doesn’t have to hear a criminal’s story before he gets a warrant.
For these reasons and others, the Court affirmed the Circuit Court’s decision.
Read the entire order affirming Halburn’s conviction here:
A packed courtroom in Huntington was the scene on May 24th where more than 20 spectators (and 5 bailiffs) waited for the inevitable show… which never happened.
It appears that all of Putnam’s circuit judges recused themselves, so Cabell County Circuit Court Judge Paul T. Farrell was appointed to handle the appeal.
Cabell County Circuit Judge Paul T. Ferrell
Halburn’s elderly lawyer, Christopher Butch, was there and argued the appeal on Halburn’s behalf. A ruling is expected soon.
Since Halburn had a jury trial in magistrate court, the appeal is strictly a review of the record for any errors that may have occurred. PutnamLIES.com’s legal corespondent says it it highly unlikely that any errors will be found.
Court watchers also reported that Mr. Butch may have withdrawn from the case after the hearing.
Why the no-show by a guy that has loudly proclaimed his innocence from the rooftops and literally tells his attorney what to say?
Because of the outstanding warrant in Kanawha County.
Halburn knew if he showed up he’d be arrested, so he was no longer interested in appearing.
Skip a futile appeal vs. an arrest and probation revocation. A no brainer even for a psychopath with no brain.
Halburn fled the state in January, returning occasionally, but staying with various degenerate friends to avoid detection by law enforcement.

Halburn’s Harassment Goes Too Far
Loses Visitation With Son
So, what’s Mark Vance Halburn’s vendetta against the Nazarene Church all about?
Here’s a partial explanation.
West Virginia Nazarene Camp in Summersville
Law enforcement sources tell PutnamLIES.com that Halburn’s son attended a church camp in Summersville run by the Nazarene Church last June.
Shortly before the camp got underway, Halburn found out the boy would be attending camp there, and began harassing the camp operators relentlessly.
He started publicly on May 27 by asking on his Facebook page: “FB friends: Would you allow your child to attend a church camp, in less than a month, that was cited for 15 violations, by its county health department, a few days ago?”
Nice overuse of commas, by the way, from a so-called professional writer.
He wasn’t worried about the condition of the camp or concerned for the campers. It was just another one of his attempts to harass, abuse, control, and punish his second ex-wife by preventing his son from attending that camp.
He complained non-stop that the camp had health code violations. He actually went to the camp on June 2 and met with an inspector for the Nicholas County Health Department there.
Were there violations? Yes. Minor violations like peeling paint, burned out light bulbs, and missing mulch on the playground. The inspection was made a month BEFORE THE CAMP EVEN OPENED and all violations were corrected before it opened.
It’s a CHURCH CAMP, not a Hilton resort.
On June 15, a hearing was held in Cabell County and over Halburn’s objections, the mother was granted the right to send the boy to camp.
Once the camp started, the harassment increased.
Halburn inundated the camp director with texts.
The director finally texted Halburn telling him he was not allowed on camp grounds.
But on Wednesday, June 21, Halburn returned to the camp anyway. At that point, HE called the Sheriff’s Department and demanded they help him get to the boy.
When they arrived, they escorted him onto the camp grounds. Because the police brought him onto property, he was not trespassing.
Halburn’s plans were unknown. What did exactly he want? To see the boy? To talk to him? To kidnap him? It was unclear.
Think of how embarrassing it would be for a 9 year old to have his 400 pound, sweating bully of a dad barge into his camp with a police escort demanding to see you where you’re with other kids. This poor little boy will have to live with this for the rest of his life.
Despite his efforts, Halburn was not allowed to see the boy and was was escorted off the property.
Shortly thereafter, a protective order was issued in Cabell County.
The kicker here?
It wasn’t the Nazarene Church that got the order.
The DVP was issued to the mother on behalf of the son.
It states Halburn cannot directly or indirectly contact his second ex-wife or the boy.
It has since been extended.
The Dad of the Year has not seen the boy since late June.
However, Halburn has had it in for the Nazarene Church for much longer. It could be connected to his obsession with Dr. Joe Matusic and his family as well.
Dr. Matusic tells that part of the story:
“My ex-wife’s Winfield Daycare was scheduled to move into the Teays Valley Nazarene Church on Teays Valley road in August of 2013. Mr. Halburn’s child was still enrolled at the daycare. When Mr. Halburn found out where we were moving, he called many of the church board’s members and threatened to sue them if they allowed our daycare to move to their church. The church board then terminated our lease, effectively closing that daycare.”
Halburn even posted video of him going to that church to harass them about it.
Three months later Halburn attempted an explanation for his actions concerning the camp .
“I run a news site. I do kitchen inspections. I did one on a Nazarene camp where they sent my son. I’ve done it on many camps and 280 locations I’ve done kitchen inspections on. The health department does them. I just report the facts.
The camp had 15 violations which is about 3 times what other camps have had. And I met with a health department administrator by appointment, Next thing I know they’re falsely accusing me of taking pictures of the girl’s dorm. One, I didn’t take pictures. two, I (unintelligble). and three, there were no girls because the camp wasn’t even in session for two and a half weeks later. But yet they went ahead and lied and said that I did that. We have an affidavit from the health department administrator saying I didn’t take pictures. None of this matters to the court. All they say is well you can’t see your son.”
Except Halburn DID take pictures at the Camp on his June 2 visit.
One of the pictures of the camp Halburn claims he didn’t take.
Oddly enough, Halburn NEVER previously reported about any camp inspections until AFTER his vendetta against the Nazarene Camp began.
What kind of asshole harasses a church and its leadership ?
It’s not their fault this godless heathen’s obsession with his blog, his vendettas against virtually everyone, and his abuse of his second ex-wife destroyed his marriage.
It’s not their fault that he had almost no visitation and now has NO visitation.
That’s ALL on him and his aberrant behavior.
It’s your fault Halburn. All of it.
You walked away from your family through your actions and bad decisions.
How’s that crusading journalist bullshit working out for you now?

Just a brief wrap up on the sentencing.
With the threat of an extended jail sentence hanging over his client’s head, Halburn’s doddering lawyer Christopher Butch, immediately started offering multiple excuses why Halburn shouldn’t go to jail.
Halburn has sleep apnea and diabetes.
As a reporter he’s subject to be attacked in jail.
No, he’s subject to be attacked in jail because he’s a punk asshole. As he found out in South Central when the Creeper slapped the taste out of his mouth.
He even claimed Halburn is the “caregiver” for his sugar mama Barbara who seems to have nothing more wrong with her than her eyes don’t always look focused. She almost looks like a blind person. She is still able to accompany Halburn to all his court appearances though.
Nonetheless, it is she who is Halburn’s caregiver since she has shacked up with him at his one bedroom garage apartment in Dunbar and is now paying his bills since his income is below minimum wage.
Butch told about Halburn’s job stocking convenience store shelves for Footprint Retail, and bragged that he pays his child support regularly.
All $ 177.20 of it. After the original amount of $613.77 was reduced three times.
He did everything but fall to his knees and shout,
“He ran out of gas. He had a flat tire. He didn’t have enough money for cab fare. His tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole his car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T HIS FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD! ”
Halburn himself refused to admit any wrongdoing or express any remorse for the crime of which he was convicted and again attempted to offer his tortured version of the story. Halburn kept repeating his wrong address excuse. It’s just another version of the “Use the side gate” story. Magistrate Hunt immediately cut him off and told him to tell it to the appeal court. “We’re not here to rehash the trial, we’re here to talk about sentencing.”
At that point, Dr Matusic read his victim impact statement where he detailed Halburn’s stalking over the period of the last several years.
After all that, Halburn insisted, “I have never threatened him. That’s a lie.”
Magistrate Hunt then told Halburn, “I know from personal experience… You make impossible demands on people. Then you get upset when they don’t do it. So you have to understand why people feel the way they do. You make impossible demands that they can’t meet. It’s not possible.”
At that point, Hunt read the sentence and terms which we detailed in the earlier article below.
Of course Halburn had to play the sympathy card again and said, “I have a permanent hearing loss and a ringing from a mistreated ear infection. I had a hard time hearing what you said a few minutes ago.”
So Hunt repeated it for him.
“Your sentence is 90 days suspended and 2 years unsupervised probation.”
And then, Halburn’s attorney, the obviously confused Fossil McLawyer asked, “When does he have to report your honor?”
Hunt replied, “It’s unsupervised. He doesn’t report anywhere.”
Butch seemed dumbfounded when he asked again, “The 90 days?”
Halburn then had to explain it to his own lawyer, “She suspended it.”
Hunt tells him, “I suspended the 90 days.”
And with that, Halburn walked out with two years probation and bimonthly mental treatment hanging over his head.
An appeal has been filed and PutnamLIES.com will have more on that as it develops.

Matusic’s Stalker Walks, But…
Found guilty by a jury of his peers for stalking Charleston pediatrician Dr. Joseph Matusic and his family, Mark Vance Halburn was sentenced today in Magistrate Linda Hunt’s courtroom.
Halburn gets 90 days jail time suspended, and TWO YEARS PROBATION (unsupervised). Court ordered psychiatric counseling. No fine, only court costs of $1182.70 payable within 6 months.
Here are the details:
Halburn was originally sentenced to 1 year in prison, until the prosecutor pointed out the maximum under the law he violated is 90 days for first offense.
So he got 90 days, suspended for 2 years while under probation. So in essence Matusic gets an extended 2 year personal safety order and Halburn must keep his nose clean for that period.
During the probation, Halburn can’t:
Violate ANY law of any state.
Possess, drink or associate with anyone drinking alcohol or other intoxicant, meaning if his sugar mama Barbara has a glass of wine or a beer at diner, he violates the order.
Visit any establishment whose primary business involves alcohol, that does not include a restaurant that serves alcohol, because that is not the primary business.
Associate with any disreputable person, I guess Suxt0n is included in that!
Have any weapon.
Have any contact, direct or indirect, or cause anyone else to contact Matusic or a family member, including adults (usually PSOs don’t include other adults, just minors).
AND THE BEST PART IS:Halburn has been ordered to see a psychiatrist every 2 weeks for 2 years or until released, with biweekly reports going to the court.
If he violates any of these terms, he immediately goes to jail for 90 days.
Halburn has filed a motion to dismiss, motion to vacate, motion motion and appeal. BUT the appeal can only be based on errors in the original jury trial. No errors, no new trial. It will be denied.
PutnamLIES.com urges anyone who spots Halburn violating any of these conditions to send us pictures as proof of the violation.
There’s no way on God’s gray earth that this fat bastard can keep his nose clean for two years.
We will have more details as they become available.

Convicted Stalker Gets Temporary Reprieve
Scared shitless and desperate to do anything to delay going to jail, Mark Vance Halburn has managed to get his sentencing, scheduled for tomorrow, delayed. Supposedly because of a “family medical issue”. Which is bullshit because Halburn has no family in the entire state.
He’s talking about Barbara, the woman who he’s currently leeching off of. They’re not married, so she’s not family. Shacked up sugar mamas don’t count in the eyes of the law. Legally she’s an just another unrelated person. It’s like “My neighbor is having surgery.”
Too bad.
Appointments like this aren’t just scheduled yesterday. Those are typically made weeks or months in advance.
So why didn’t he mention it three weeks ago when he was found guilty? They had to adjust for everyone else when they set the date. It’s bullshit.
Whatever evidence he may have provided to prove the illness was probably fabricated. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s done it.
She’s not sick or he’d be looking for sympathy on Facebook from his audience of flying monkeys, sycophants, and fellow disaffected dads. The last time she had an “episode” it was all he talked about. Endless updates about her condition, tests, prayer requests, etc.. The past several days? Crickets.
All this does is delay the inevitable. You’re going to jail, Halburn, Delaying it isn’t going to make the sentence any shorter. This isn’t going away. You can’t run and you can’t hide.
No word when the sentencing will be rescheduled. He will have to wait until after he’s sentenced if he wants to appeal

GUILTY!!!
Silver Bracelets For…
MARK VANCE HALBURN
A PutnamLIES.com/Trash Bloggers Alliance Exclusive Report
After a 3 1/2 hour trial today in Putnam County magistrate court, Mark Vance Halburn was was found guilty of violating a personal safety order issued against him on behalf of Dr Joe Matusic.
It took the jury just 10 minutes to return a guilty verdict.
The day began when Halburn arrived at the courthouse and started barking out orders to his attorney, Christopher Butch. The first thing he did was hand him a piece of paper and said, “These are questions for you to ask me.”
He then sat in the waiting area and prayed out loud for the jury to understand that he had the wrong address.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.”Matthew 6:5
He also brought his Sugar Mama, Barbara, for support. And to go to his car and get his root beer that he needed.
Babs just can’t stop playing Bingo Blitz even when her boy toy is on trial.
Once in court, Halburn’s ancient attorney Christopher Butch appeared clueless and shook the whole time. But that was OK because Halburn seemed to run the whole show, sitting back in his chair like he owned the place, telling his attorney what to do and say, shoving papers at him the entire time and whispering to him every minute or so. The poor guy couldn’t keep his concentration because of it. To the point where Halburn was told by the judge several times to be quiet and the prosecuting attorney asked “Which one of these men is counsel”?
It was a cut and dried case.
In his opening statement Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Lawson told the jury there were only two things to remember. There is a protection order, and that Mark Vance Halburn went to the home. The rest you hear, he said, is just smoke and mirrors meant to distract.
Lawson entered the order as exhibit 1, then a Google Earth shot of the Matusic property showing how you can’t see the house from Peach Ridge because the driveway is about a quarter of a mile long,
Exhibit 2: View of Matusic’s driveway from Peach Ridge Road.
then pictures of the three no trespassing/ private property signs he passed coming up the driveway, then a picture of the mailbox with large reflective numbers on it and lastly a photo of Halburn’s car in Matusic’s driveway.
Exhibit 4 – Halburn driving his car up Dr. Matusic’s driveway.
The red marker indicates the location of Halburn’s car in the picture above.
Magistrate Linda Hunt accepted them all into evidence and they were shown to the jury.
The Prosecution called just one witness. Dr. Joseph Matusic.
Dr. Matusic did an excellent job on the stand.
He testified to the long term harassment and stalking by Halburn. He explained about the pictures of Halburn’s car taken in the driveway.
The defense tried to bring up a lot of crap such as “Halburn is a local reporter and was going to get pictures” and “Why did you let Channel 13 on your property and not Halburn when he was just doing his job?”
The simple answer given was, “I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.”
At that point the prosecution rested its case.
The defendant’s first witness was a Putnam County Sheriff Deputy Shawn Johnson who testified that he went and took the report, went to the courthouse to verify the protection order and also spoke with Hurricane Fire Department.
Next, when Halburn took the stand they couldn’t shut him up. He would elaborate on anything and everything and talk and talk. The magistrate called him down multiple times because he would drone on and on. She finally said, “Just answer the questions”!
The answer to “did you go on to this property” isn’t a 15 minute response.
Halburn claimed he had an email of the broadcast text sent to him by someone who worked (supposedly) at one of the television stations that he tried to enter as evidence. Magistrate Linda Hunt shut that down quickly. He wasn’t allowed to enter any of his material as evidence. The look on his face was priceless when he had to come to terms with the fact that nobody cared about his mountain of useless, irrelevant and inadmissible evidence.
Halburn repeatedly tried to bring in what everyone told him on the phone and persisted with it. The Prosecutor’s objections for hearsay were sustained every single time.
Then the lies started.
Halburn lied and said that he got lost and turned onto a public road. Except it was a driveway with no road sign on it, a mailbox clearly marked with large reflective numbers and 3 no trespassing signs. He then drove up a 1/4 mile driveway to a house that can’t be seen from the road.
This shows the distance Halburn had to travel up the Matusic’s driveway from the main road. Almost 1400 feet.
Halburn had to make a conscious effort to go out Peach Ridge Road. It’s not on the way to anywhere. He intended to go there. It’s not a thruway or side street. He drove 2 miles out a road that goes nowhere. Halburn knew exactly where the Doctor lives.
The route to the house.
But Halburn wants a jury to believe that an address that was clearly on the protective order that he was served with was one he didn’t know.
And that he just made a mistake.
Halburn can’t stop at someone’s house, ask if that’s Matusic’s property and then make the choice to continue to the property and call it an accident. If it was “an accident,” when the person told him it was Matusic’s property he would have turned around and gone home.
Halburn continued to lie and said he was at the bottom of the driveway, except the Prosecution had pictures showing he was at the top of the driveway.
Lawson did a great job of tripping up Halburn’s defense on numerous inconsistencies, such as Halburn stating that he was given a wrong address from Hurricane Fire Department. The house number was on the mailbox at the main road and it is the same as was on the protection order. So that claim was disproved quickly.
Halburn tried to say he never came up the driveway and was nowhere near the house, but when shown the photos of his car at the top of the driveway, he admitted that it was his car.
Halburn continued to use his lame excuse that he was given the wrong address and he was there to take pictures for his news website because he is a “News Reporter.”, He got called out on that by Lawson who pointed out that it’s already been decided by the courts that it is a blog. At that point, Halburn slung his fat ass back in the chair until it looked like it was going to tip over.
On several occasions Magistrate Linda Hunt actually rolled her eyes at Halburn’s statements.
Halburn told the jury that Matusic followed him and therefore that negated the intent of the order.
The jury obviously thought that was just more of Halburn’s bullshit.
Halburn also wanted the jury to believe that Matusic called the police after Halburn blatantly violated the third personal safety order issued against him because Matusic was somehow trying to affect a motion to a family court judge that Halburn filed weeks earlier for sole custody of his son.
At one point, Halburn told his attorney to have Matusic’s fiancee thrown out for “Witness Intimidation.” Halburn’s sugar mama told the judge the fiancee was talking and helping out during the trial.
The jurors were buying none of it.
The surprising thing is that they could actually find six people that didn’t already have an opinion of him.
Then the verdict came in and the words people have been waiting years to hear were read.
“We the jury be unanimously agreed to find the defendant, Mark Vance Halburn, guilty of a misdemeanor offense of violation a personal safety order. So say we all”
Halburn’s lawyer then asked about the sentencing.When asked by Magistrate Hunt if he wanted to do sentencing today, Butch said he didn’t bring his calendar.
She said “We can do sentencing today if you want.” Butch asked, “Is he going to be sent to jail today?
And then the real laugher came out.
Butch says, “We would ask that you suspend any sentence your honor.”
Hunt asked, “You mean suspend anysentence?”
Butch meant suspend it permanently.
The State then asked for sentencing to take place immediately, but Butch asked for 3 weeks.
They rambled back and forth for several minutes before settling on September 21 for Halburn’s sentencing.
Then Halburn and his entourage of lawyer and sugar mama shuffled out of the courthouse and to the parking lot.
Halburn and his party doing the walk of shame.
But before he left, Mr Environmental Consciousness dumped some trash from his car/pigpen into the parking lot before he pulled out.
Can you believe this guy? Who keeps their car this filthy?
Fatlock asking for a jury trial has bitten him in the ass appeal-wise. He fucked himself on this one.
Here is a little known fact of the legal system. Halburn chose a jury trial thinking he could trash his victim that much more or he chose a jury trial because no sane judge would believe any of his rants. Anyhow, if you have a bench trial with a judge, and you appeal, then you get an entire new trial at no expense.
Halburn lied about his “businesses” and other sources of income in order to get a court appointed lawyer for his criminal contempt trial so that wouldn’t have been any skin off his nose.
But if he wants to appeal a jury trial, he can only appeal on errors that may have arisen during the jury trial. He will not get a new trial, only an opinion from a judge about any errors. No errors, no new trial. AND he must pay thousands in court costs for the appeal. That’s money he does not have.
We should not make fun of nor torment the mentally ill.
Mark Halburn is an exception because he is the kind of mentally ill that is not bad enough to be in an institution, not mild enough for him to seek effective treatment and irritating enough to his fellow countrymen to piss off just about everyone he interacts with. Halburn is a blowhard and a bully who uses his “intelligence” and gifts of literary skills to extort local businesses out of some semblance of an income. Anyone who encounters Halburn can pretty quickly figure out that his elevator does not quite go to the top floor, but most also see that he is more the kind to post slanderous things than take physical action.
We all watch the news, we all see events where mass trauma and murder have been committed by the mentally ill. People whom others knew were dangerous, but had not quite committed enough to get them either incarcerated or helped before they hurt and killed others. Mr Halburn appears to fit into that category of pathology. We never know when Mr Halburn is going to go the next step but we should all be prepared for the day that happens and take appropriate action when it does. But until then, lets hope Halburn learns from this experience, hope that Halburn’s new cell mates can help him see the error of his ways, hope that Halburn’s sugar mama/girlfriend/ fiance Barbara is a good influence on him and calms the demons inside him even though she empties bedpans for a living and seems as dim witted as Halburn.. God knows his two ex-wives were never able to do anything.
But anyone who interacts with him should also remember this statement from his court ordered mental evaluation: “Mr. Halburn’s psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”
Mental illness often has patterns and cycles and Halburn’s now appears to be on the escalation phase.
In June, he was sentenced in Kanawha County to 6 months in jail for harassing WCHS Radio and the Mayor of Charleston. While awaiting this trial, he trespassed at a church camp and has a personal safety order from that incident which prevents him from seeing his own son. In the weeks after that, he visited several churches of the same denomination and left flyers on worshipers’ cars while they were attending church services.
Halburn will be sentenced on September 21 at 2:30pm. The State will ask for the maximum sentence of 90 days.
It would be better than jail for him to do the time in a mental hospital.
Actual incarceration isn’t going to fix his problem.
He needs to be involuntarily committed.
