Let's look first at the authorized statement of Meade's latest victim: Michael :
For Immediate Release September 16 2012
--- BEGIN Authorized Statement ---
The incessant ad hominem attacks on my character by
Darren Mitchell Meade
would probably need a small book to adequately address each of the many
allegations. However, in the interests of brevity I will attempt to
reduce my response so as to retain the reader’s attention.
It is my humble request that parties interested in perceiving
the truth or falsity of either Darren Meade's assertions, or for that
matter my response, do consider the source of the allegations before
placing any value on the substance.
The following 30-second video clip was recorded by an unknown
person and distributed anonymously some time ago. Therein,
Darren Meade
in his own words demonstrates the gleeful satisfaction he derives from
tormenting the targets of his Internet smear campaigns. In this case, it
was the renowned Stanford educated physician Dr. Scott Connelly:

Here is Darren Meade's Litany of Allegations Against Michael of Rexxfield:
"Michael is a Registered Child Abuse and is on Iowa Central Abuse Register."
RESPONSE: This is a blatant lie.

"Michael had an arrest and conviction for domestic battery in 2000."
NOTE: The irony of these allegations will
not escape most readers. Darren is referring to an event on December 20,
2000 when I was wrongfully jailed overnight, and subsequently cleared.
Whereas, on that
very same day, Darren Meade became subject to a
domestic restraining order filed by Laura J. Kelley who reported Darren
Meade's stalking and violent outbursts.
Link: Darren Meade's Restraining Order by Laura J. Kelley Colorado (Dec 20,2000).
RESPONSE: True in part, lies in part. I was
arrested, not convicted. On December 20, 2000 my ex-wife Tracey
physically assaulted me after a customer went bankrupt owing my company
$26,000. She began kicking holes in the wall of the office with her
boots, I restrained her and she began stomping on my feet.
Photographs of holes kicked in wall by Tracey
After things cooled down I announced my intention to divorce. 45
minutes later I was in handcuffs and I spent the night in jail. However,
what Tracey meant for evil God meant for good, and I had the privilege
of sharing the Gospel with an elderly man who had intended to kill
himself when he was released the next day. At that time, the other 10
inmates in the shared cell stayed awake with myself and "Jim" listening
to this good news until about 5 am. Tracey begged me not to plead
innocence because she said her ex-husband would use my testimony against
her false allegations to gain an advantage in the custody battle of
their son Bert, my stepson. I agreed to plead no contest to disturbing
the peace. That way, I would not need to testify that Tracey filed a
false police report. Hindsight has 20/20, if only I had done things
differently, Bert & my kids would not have to have witnessed a
murder; Bert would not have been forced to participate in the crime
after the fact. More importantly, Dustin would probably be alive, and
who knows, maybe I would be back in Australia with my children?
"Michael is a bigamist"
Darren wrote: "Tracey's husband even married another woman while still married to Tracey" and
"Michael and Tracey went on with their fragile marriage that finally ended in 2008."
Response: The marriage ended in March 2004 when I
survived Tracey's attempt to murder me. The judge issued an
interlocutory dissolution of marriage on December 3rd 2007. I married my
current wife in early 2008.
"Michael has been diagnosed with a mental illness"
These excerpts for the final decree for the marriage dissolution sums this up well:
"Tracey would, at times, give information to medical care
providers, in an attempt to have physicians find that Michael has a
mental condition. She would be involved when Michael was seeing his
family physician… At one point Dr. Brinck, a psychologist, diagnosed
Michael as being bipolar….Michael was examined by Dr. Charles E. Murphy.
In Dr. Murphy's opinion, Michael is not bipolar. Dr. Murphy's diagnosis
is post-traumatic stress syndrome and ADHD. The weight of the evidence
establishes that Michael is not bipolar."
"Michael is a criminal hacker"
RESPONSE: Darren Meade attempted to extort
from me the meager sum of $5000 in October 2011. After my refusal, he
set a deadline of October 31. He followed through with his promise. In a
coup d'état he was able to persuade a Fox News Journalist that I was a
criminal hacker, and these allegations graced the front page of
FoxNews.com on January 20, 2012.
Whereas, in the following e-mail message sent by Darren Meade to
a department of justice attorney just three months before the extortion
demands, Meade describes me as a victim of the crime syndicate of which
he now tries to persuade readers I am a connected:

"Michael failed a polygraph"
RESPONSE: Below is a hyper link to the
polygraph in question and as can be seen there is no reference to
"failure"; in fact the polygraph operator determines the results to be
"inconclusive" -- this does not indicate deception but rather
confusion
or anxiety. There were three questions in the polygraph, one of which
was something to the effect of "do you know the identity of the second
intruder". Whereas, although I initially strenuously defended my
ex-wife's actions in the 2001 homicide, the evidence I saw with my own
eyes planted seeds of doubt as to the veracity of her account of that
fateful night. In fact, I never really believed there was a second
intruder. The investigators told me later that that was most likely the
reason the results were ambiguous. After this revelation I volunteered
for a third polygraph which is also linked below.

(2)
Inconclusive polygraph result by O'Brien
(3)
Subsequent polygraph results with clarified question:
"If we assume there was a second man, do you know his identity?"
"Use of hacking code via the Internet to tamper with the jury convened for ex-wife's murder trial."
RESPONSE: This allegation is simply absurd.
However, if we were to entertain the suggestion for a moment, an
objective reader should be able to just as quickly dismiss it because
Darren Meade did not raise this allegation until long after my ex-wife's
murder trial; more to the point, he did not raise this allegation until
he realized that his other character attacks were not gaining the
traction he had hoped. In fact, this gradual escalation and elevation of
flaming aspersions is his modus operandi in any distortion campaign he
runs, no matter who the target.
"Witness Protection Program."
Darren M Meade alleges that: Iowa prosecutors allowed me to stay in a
witness protection program so that my ex-wife's defense attorney could not serve me with a subpoena.
RESPONSE: The fallacious nature of this
allegation is evidenced by the following facts (a) the program that was
protecting my children and me was under the California Secretary of
State,
(b) the murder was being prosecuted through the state of Iowa and
(c) Iowa officials have no say in what the California secretary of state does for its residents.
"Michael Was Founded for Child Abuse and is on Central Abuse Register."
RESPONSE: This is true; however, the findings were reversed soon thereafter. Darren Meade in keeping with his distortion tactics (watch,
he will start using this term to describe me soon) is
taking a snapshot in time, but not giving the reader the benefit of
subsequent events. His propensity to do this should give readers cause
to dismiss everything he writes as deceptive.
Subsequent report leading to reversal of child abuse finding.
Nevertheless, the findings were based on the testimony of
Tracey Richter and Bert Pitman. Tracey is a three times convicted felon
for and Bert is being considered for criminal prosecution for perjury
during the murder trial of his mother. This is a matter of public
record.
- Tracey Richter Perjury Conviction Clay County Iowa
- Tracey Richter welfare fraud conviction Douglas County Nebraska (Plea bargain downwards from original 3rd degree criminal impersonation)
- Tracey Richter's Conviction for Murder in the first degree Sac County Iowa
- Tracey Richter's Harassment charges Pocahontas County Iowa (resulting from foiled murder for hire of me. She escaped conviction of this one)
Tracey was also
indicted as a result of an FBI investigation into passport fraud. She successfully obtained a passport using false name and was considered a flight risk.
Link: Tracey Richter's indictment FBI investigation into passport fraud
Tracey was also found to have forged the final the force
divorce decree between the two of us, wherein she added a clause giving
her permission to get passports for our children without my permission.
Sheriff's report on divorce decree forgery by Tracey Richter
Moreover, Judge Duffy, in his (genuine) final divorce decree found as follows:
"Tracey is very deviceful; She usually has a plan or
scheme to effect a purpose. The following incidents establish crafty
schemes by Tracey:….One week after Michael filed the petition for
dissolution of marriage, Tracey filed a petition for relief from
domestic abuse….Tracey used this process in an attempt to gain advantage
over Michael on the custodial…..Tracey has made attempts to establish
that Michael has committed child abuse…In fact,. she conceded that it
was not child abuse. Later, Tracey made vigorous attempts to obtain a
founded report.
There is no founded child abuse report to support
Tracey's theory of child abuse by Michael. The court finds that Tracey
has failed to establish that Michael committed child abuse…. The Court
also finds that Tracey has failed to establish a history of domestic
abuse."
"Firearm offences"
Darren wrote:
"Michael Roberts is photographed with one of many handguns
he purchased in violation of Court Orders after his conviction of
Spousal and Child Abuse. The photograph is with a sniper rifle. Police
reports allege he threatened to kill a Chicago detective with a sniper
rifle and that he (Roberts) is a very good shot. Roberts is on an audio
recording with another young man he mentors discussing having this young
man kill someone to ‘protect the inner sanctum’ or Roberts new business
enterprise with a .50 caliber hollow-point bullet which just explodes
his brain, the same as used by the rifle in the photo with Roberts
above."
Response:
- I have never violated a court order (with the exception of
being in arrears for child support due to injuries sustained during an
attempted murder at Tracey's hand in 2004)
Approval from Iowa Dept. Justice Crime Victims Compensation Program for medical expenses incurred after attempted murder.
- I have never been convicted of spousal OR child abuse. [Link: Proof]
- I have never owned, held, touched or fired a 50 caliber weapon.
- The photograph of the rifle to which Meade refers was
taken in the late 90s, five or six years before my ex-wife temporarily
obtained a restraining order prohibiting me from buying firearms. This
order was dismissed after it was determined the allegations were
unfounded in order to gain an advantage in the child custody issues.
- The police report in question was filed by Tracey's
younger brother, Detective John B. Richter of the Chicago Police
Department. He made this report on October 29, 2011 this was the
Saturday immediately following the first week of his sister's murder
trial and by this time it had become apparent that things were not going
well.
- Detective Richter, to the best of my knowledge is
currently being investigated by the Chicago Police Department internal
affairs, and the civilian oversight organization to which Internal
Affairs answers called "City of Chicago Independent Police Review Authority". [Complaint ID : OPS-9432]
- Coincidentally, both Darren Meade and Detective John
Richter apparently reported that unknown persons had thrown rocks or
bricks through their windows at about the same time (I do not have
dates). Darren was in California, Richter was in Illinois.
- I am not in an audio recording discussing killing someone
with a 50 caliber bullet. I was present with an individual who made the
statements, and I was the person recording the conversation and who
subsequently provided them to Darren Meade and law-enforcement because
Darren Meade was the "someone" the person was fantasizing about killing.

allegations of Tracey Richter's brother Detective John Richter dated
October 29, 2011.
VIDEO/Audio snippet of the .50 Caliber monologue.
"Michael bought a house for another woman in Florida in 2004."
RESPONSE: Whereas, Tracey went to Florida
first to look at houses, she sent Michael and his stepson and son to
Florida a week or two later to look at her short list. He signed a
contract on the house they both agreed was best. While Michael was in
Florida, Tracey flew to London to be with her lover Tom Buehlmann. I had
previously discovered this relationship, I confronted Tom by telephone.
He apologized and said he had no idea she was still married and
promised that it would not continue. Tracey's relationship with Tom
began late December 2003 or very early January 2004. I did not meet the
"other woman" referred to by Darren until April 1st, 2004 after I
realized that Tracey's affair with Tom was ongoing.
"Michael stole Tracey’s identity"
RESPONSE: Tracey's team is getting good
mileage out of this allegation. In 2005 or 2006, I leased a large Dell
computer/server through "DFS" which is Dell Financial Services.
Unbeknownst to me, the lease had both my name and Tracey's name attached
to it from previous purchases while we were still together. Tracey
filed a police report for identity theft, she also filed allegations in
the civil divorce process. I contacted Dell, they removed her name, end
of story.
"Michael found shell casings at murder scene."
Darren wrote: "Michael Robert claimed to
have then cleaned the home and located shell casings within an hour of
taking possession of the home that were missed by CSI investigators."
RESPONSE: This is just one of many examples
of the incompetence of the investigators and earlier prosecutor who let
the murder go unpunished for almost 10 years.
"Michael's relationship with Dustin Wehde, Tracey's murder victim."
Darren wrote: "In his mentorship of Dustin, Michael Roberts had Dustin work on creative writing exercises that often were violent in nature."
Response: Says who Darren? Please provide
original source documentation, or a witness who has not been convicted
of either murder or perjury.
"Crime Scene Photos"
Darren wrote: "The crime scene photos were shown to me personally in 2010 by Michael Roberts." (referring to a document referencing the 'pink notebook' evidence).
Response: I challenge Darren to testify to this under the penalty of perjury.
"Life Insurance on Tracey & Michael's kids"
Darren wrote: "Tracey had a considerable life insurance policy as did the children."
Response: Tracey had taken out $100,000
insurance policies on each of the three children before the murder. She
had asked me to co-sign this one night when insurance agent was in our
home, I refused because I thought the idea was repulsive. However, I
finally consented to a $10,000 funeral policy for each of the kids under
protest because she just wouldn't leave me alone. Evidently, the
documents subsequently placed before me to sign were in the full amount
of $100K as later attested by insurance agent later.
Furthermore, in the year before the murder Tracey had stacked
my life insurance policies with at least three, possibly four policies
totaling somewhere in the range of 3 to 5 million dollars. I did not
know about this until I filed for divorce in 2004 and her first husband,
Dr. John Pitman, told me I need to go looking for them. I did, and what
I found blew me away. While Tracey was visiting her lover Tom, I
received documents in the mail from lifequote.com where she had applied
for an additional $1 million in coverage of my life only a few days
before she attempted to murder me in March 2004 by drugging and
suffocation. This was followed up by an e-mail message after I diverted
Tracey's business e-mail address to mine.
Exhibits:
- Chase Life Insurance Cancelation
- AmerUsLife Insurance Cancelation
- USAA Insurance Cancelation
- Lifequote Application
- Detailed account of Tracey's attempted murder of me in 2004
- Approval for criminal compensation for medical expenses associated with head injury from attempted murder.
