John Brown's Affidavit Transcribed
JAY
CAMPBELL AND
KIRK LANE
PLAINTIFFS
vs. NO. LRC970328
CITIZENS
FOR AN HONEST GOVERNMENT, INC.,
d/b/a INTEGRITY FILMS; JEREMIAH FILMS, INC.;
AND PAT
MATRISCIANA DEFENDANTS
I,
John Brown, after being duly sworn, state:
1. My name is John
Brown.
2. I have been
named by Pat Matrisciana as a source of information for
allegations pertaining to Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane
contained in a video entitled Obstruction of Justice and
produced by Mr. Matrisciana.
3. Pat Matrisciana
asked me about a statement that people allegedly meeting
the description of Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane pulled up
next to a telephone booth where Kevin Ives and Don Henry
were; grabbed the boys; threw them in the back of a
police car; and drove away with them on the night of the
boys’ death and I told him that any such statement was
uncorroborated and I did not think that there was
anything to it.
4. I also told Mr.
Matrisciana that he should not implicate Jay Campbell or
Kirk Lane as being involved in the deaths of Kevin Ives
and Don Henry because there was no documented
justification for such an implication. I warned him
against making such a statement in the video and told
him that if he made such statements he would be sued. In
fact, prior to the video being produced I even informed
Mr. Matriciana that I had a signed confession from an
individual(unrelated to Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane)
taking responsibility for the deaths of Kevin Ives and
Don Henry.
5. I have watched
the video and since watching it have not told Pat
Matrisciana that the statements in the video pertaining
to Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane are true. After watching
the video I did notice, however, that the portions of
the video containing statements from me were edited and
spliced to give the appearance that I made a statement
that was never made by me.
Further, affiant
sayeth not.
STATE
OF ARKANSAS
COUNTY OF PULASKI
I, John Brown, do hereby state that the statements and allegations contained in the above and foregoing document are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
