Re: FINAL WARNING
Dear Mr. Murphy:
I have been informed by my client that she was forced to call the police on Friday, Febnrary
18, 2000, as the result of your violent conduct. Angela indicates that you were angry and upset and
that you expressed these emotions with both language and actions which were inappropriate at best,
and which maybe the basis for serious criminal charges.
The fact that you were unable to control yourself in front of your children is most troubling.
They deserve a feeling of security from each of their pazerns and actions like those that occurred last
Friday destroy that feeling of security and cause children to face many issues that they are not able
to deal with at ages four and six.
I have advised Angela that she has the right to petition the Court under the Protection From
Abuse laws. This is a public proceeding where she would testify as to your behavior and ask the
Court to issue an order which would restrict your cornact with her and with the boys and remove you
from the marital home. Under the current legislation, the impact can be far reaching as it is reported
to a national information network. A PFA order can limit your ability to own and use firearms and
obtain some types of employment. It can even impact on your ability to serve as a volunteer in
activities in which your children aze involved for many years into the future.
Angela has indicated to me that this is not the first time that this has happened. She has told
me, however, that she does not want to subject you to the public humiliation that will come through
this court action if she can be assured that you are in control of your emotions and your behavior.
As indicated in my prior letter to you, Angela wants you to continue to play an important role in the
lives of the children and that will not happen if you have the restrictions of this type of court order.
Mr. Scott Murphy
Page Two
February 22, 2000
I have warned my client about the dangers of failing to file an action for protection but I
respect her decision based upon all the circumstances that are in place at this time. I want you to
know that it must be the last time that this ever occurs. Please consider this to be your first and final
warning on this issue. In the event that you choose to engage in any behavior of any nature which
is violent or threatening, I have instructed Angela about the proper steps to take to protect herself
and the children. She will file a Protection From Abuse action which will became a public record and
which have the negative connotations that I have described above. There will be no additional
chances or special circumstances which will excuse another incident.
I want to offer a final thought for you to consider that may help you in this matter. I
understand from speaking with Angela that you want to try and negotiate a settlement of all of the
issues in this matter on your own. I respectfully suggest that it is not prudent for you to try and do
so because of the high degree of emotionality that exists between you and Angela at this time. Please
retain a competent lawyer who will assist you in all matters related to your separation and divorce.
I sincerely believe that you and your entve family will benefit from you having the assistance of
counsel during this difficult time.
truly yours,
Carey Daley

Plaintiff to advise her of the situation. Plaintiff went immediately to the school and picked up
Logan to avoid a potential incident when Defendant returned at the end of the school day to get
the child. After the school telephoned Defendant and told him that Plaintiff had picked up
Logan, from appro~mately 2:45 p.m. until 12:45 a.m. on September 8, 2001, he repeatedly
telephoned Plaintiff's cell phone and left messages on her voice mail, called her home and left
messages on her home answering machine, telephoned her place of employment, went to her
home questioned her neighbors as to her whereabouts, and telephoned Plaintiff s parents in
Iowa and left messages their answering machine causing them to be alarmed and concerned for
her safety and that of the children. Fearing for her safety and that of her children, Plaintiff went
to MidPenn Legal Services to t"ile a Protection From Abuse action. Due to the late hour,
MidPenn Legal Services staff contacted the on-duty District Justice, Thomas A. Placey.
Plaintiff Filed a Petition for Emergency Relief from Abuse on September 7, 2001. See attached
Exhibit A, incorporated herein by reference. District Justice Placey issued an order against
Defendant protecting Plaintiff and her two minor children, Logan Thomas Murphy and Connor
Jacob Murphy, and further ordered that that Defendant refrain from having any contact with
Plaintiff and/or the minor children, including restraining Defendant from going to Plaintiff s
residence, her place of employment, the minor children's school, and from harassing Plaintiff,
her relatives, and the minor children. Plaintiff hand-delivered a copy of the order to the
Pennsylvania State Police in Carlisle.
At approximately 12:30 a.m. on September 8, 2001, Pennsylvania State Police troopers went to
Defendant's residence to serve him with the Emergency Relief from Abuse order. When
Defendant saw the State Police cruiser, he sped away with the parties' son, Connor, in the
vehicle with him. At 12:45 a.m., Defendant called Plaintiff's cell phone from his residence and
Plaintiff advised the police. The Pennsylvania State Police served Defendant with a copy of the
Emergency Relief from Abuse order at his residence. Plaintiff suffered reasonble fear of
imminent serous bodily injury.
19. Prior incidents of abuse that the Defendant has committed against Plaintiff or the minor children,
(including any threats, injuries, or incidents of stalking) are as follows:
On or about September 6, 2001, Defendant arrived at Logan and Connor's soccer game, and
approached Plaintiff several times during the game and harassed her about their pending
divorce and support issues. As Plaintiff got the children into the car to leave, Defendant blocked
her car by parking his car vehicle in back of hers, leaned his head in the back window of her car
over the heads of the children and demanded that Plaintiff talk to him. When Plaintiff refused to
talk to Defendant and tried to lock the car doors, he used his set of Plaintiff s car keys to unlock
the doors. Plaintiff held up her cell phone and told Defendant that she would ca11911 if he did
not leave her alone, and when he did not stop, she telephoned 911 for help while he continued to
yell at her. After she told him the police were on their way, he left. The Pennsylvania State Police
responded and filed harassment charges against Defendant.
On or about September 5, 2001, Defendant telephoned Plaintiff and told her that he was going to
block her car with his vehicle at the children's soccer game on September 6th.
On September 4, 2001, after he received a certified letter from Plaintiffs divorce attorney,
Defendant went to the children's day care facility, and signed both the children out. Unknown to
the day care worker, Defendant did not leave the premises with the children, and instead, took
them to a room adjoining their day care room, told them to stay in the room, and went outside to
wait for Plaintiff to arrive to pick the children up. When Plaintiff arrived, Defendant
approached her, yelled at her about the letter he received, and continued to yell at her as she led
the children to the car. Defendant followed Plaintiff as she drove home with the children, and
tailgated dangerously close to her car until she turned to go to the Pennsylvania State Police
barracks, and he drove away. Plaintiff feared for her safety and that of her children.
On or about August 17, 2001, when Plaintiff arrived at Defendant's residence to pick up their
children, Defendant got into her vehicle with the children, and despite Plaintiff repeatedly telling
him to get out of the car, he refused. Plaintiff drove to her home with Defendant in her car.
When Plaintiff tried to get into her residence to call the police, Defendant took her keys and
refused to give them back to her. Plaintiff used her cell phone to ca11911 for help. The
Pennsylvania State Police responded and Defendant left.
On or about July 16, 2001, Defendant went to Plaintiff s workplace, yelled at her and argued
with her, and refused to. Plaintiff and her supervisors warned Defendant that they were going to
call the police. The Susquehanna Township Police responded and escorted Defendant off the
premises and advised him not to return.
On or about June 12, 2001, during a support hearing at the Cumberland County Domestic
Relations Office, Defendant became argumentative, and yelled and pointed his fmger at Plaintiff
and her counsel across the table causing them to fear for their safety. Plaintiffs counsel
requested that a DRO enforcement officer accompany her and Plaintiff from the building for
their protection against Defendant.
In or about spring 2001, Defendant refused to leave Plaintiffs residence, restrained her, and
when she called 911 for help, he left. The Pennsylvania State Police responded.
In or about summer 2000, Defendant was reprimanded at his place of employment, Corning
Frequency Control Group, and was required to seek counseling to address his volatile behavior
due to his threatening and alarming behavior toward co-workers.
In or about February 2000, after Plaintiff filed for divorce, Defendant argued with her, slapped
her, shoved her against against the wall, and blocked the doorway with his body trapping her in
the room. Plaintiff reported the incident to the Pennsylvania State Police, who filed harassment
charges against Defendant. Defendant paid the fines.
In or about May 1999, Defendant grabbed Plaintifff by the arm, dragged her across the room,
and punched her in the stomach. Plaintiff sustained abrasions about her arms, and soreness
about her stomach and neck as a result of this incident.
From approximately 1999, until March 2001, Defendant abused Plaintiff in ways including, but
not limited to shoving, punching, dragging her about, pulling her hair, and restraining her.
Defendant telephoned Plaintiff at her home, on her cell phone, and at her place of employment
several times each day despite being told not to. In addition, on several occasions Defendant,
who is an avid hunter, threatened Plaintiff by telling her that he knew of places where she (her
body) would never be found.
20. The Defendant has used, or threatened to use, the following weapon(s) against the Plaintiff or the
minor children:
._... ._. I. .. ... 5ti tli:` ~:
a. any and all fu'earms and/or weapons, including, but not limited to: a handgun.
b. handguns,
c. shotguns,
d. rifles,
e. automatic weapons, and
f. bows and arrows.
21. The police department(s) or law enforcement agencies that should be provided with a copy of the
protection order are:
PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE
MT. HOLLY SPRINGS POLICE
DAUPHIN COUNTY DISPATCH
SUSQUEHANNA TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPARTMENT
22. There is an immediate and present danger of further abuse from the Defendant.
23. Plaintiff has suffered out-of-pocket financial losses as a result of the abuse described above. Those
losses are:
lost wages and day care costs as a result of the incident on September 7, 2001.
24. FOR THE REASONS SET FORTH ABOVE, I REQUEST THAT THE COURT ENTER A
TEMPORARY ORDER, and AFTER HEARING, A FINAL ORDER THAT WOULD DO THE
FOLLOWING:
a. Restrain Defendant from abusing, threatening, harassing, or stalking Plaintiff and/or
minor children in any place where Plaintiff may be found.
b. Awazd Plaintiff temporary custody of the minor children and place the following
restrictions on contact between Defendant and children:

either in person, by telephone, or in writing, personally or through third persons,
including but not limited to any contact at Plaintiff s school, business, or place of

and/or visitation with the minor children.

I am in receipt of a faxed copy of a Motion for Continuance of a hearir7y scileuuled for
Wednesday, September 26, 2Q01. The purpose of this letter is to object to the continuance. 1
have subpoenaed several witnesses who will be available on September 2s, z0D1.
Although I did request a continuance from the hearing scheduled on September 79'" to
its presently scheduled date of September 26, 2001, I did so as defense wunsel. Counsel for
Patitinner has much mare time tq organize the case, subpoena witnesses and prepare to
pror..eari than does defense counsel who is brought into the case suddenly.
Finaliy, k)y the terms of the temporary Order, Mr. Murphy is not permitted to see his
children. He avers them is nn basis in law for the temporary Protective Qrder or fpr the
roetriction on his custodial ritUhts Nevertheless, he offered to sign a Consent order, not
admitting to the allegations, if he could return to the status quo with regard to time with his
children. M~. Murphy insists on supervised visits and no agreement is possible. Therefore, we
especially request that tha hearing on the 28tH of September go forward aS Scheduled.
Thank you far your holp.
