Life Adventures of the Divine-Emerald
Welcome
I created this page as an outlet to allow myself the emotional healing, and self-discovery after my significant other was sentenced to life in prison on February 28th, 2024.
Instead of drowning in self-pity I decided to advocate for others who were wrongfully accused. Make sure you navigate the page and checkout the blog to get a better idea of who we are and why we are so passionate about this case. I don't expect everyone to understand our situation, as only a few can relate. One thing I do know, is this could have happened to anyone. It was a premediated attack against John.
Like every Sunday John was headed to his estranged wife's rental property to pick up their daughter and grandson for family dinner. A tradition they started months prior. John received a text from his daughter seconds prior to pulling down the road that said, "guess there's a problem now pick me up down the road LOL". John called his daughter and was sent to voicemail. He responded to the text, something John doesn't do often while driving. His response was simple "stay there I'm coming to the house".
John arrived at the house and was instantly met with aggression. The enraged man was waiting for John and when he noticed the car pull in, he ran to the steps, stopped and turned around to grab something. John removed himself from a vulnerable position and drew his weapon when the man reached for an object. The man did not flinch from the shot. Instead, he paused with his fists clenched waiting to attack. Given John's significant health issues he attempted to get the upper hand yet was quickly overpowered when a second male entered the affray.
John took 17 blows to the head, neck, and ear with metal pipes, which made the impact of their attack 10x more forceful. None of which was noticed on the video footage. This is just a small glimpse of everything that went wrong during trial. From a set-up to a cover-up, missing footage, altered crime scene, and unethical behavior from the State.
Make sure you subscribe and follow to get up-to-date information. From filed appeals to "affirms". Our fight will always be mighty, but my God is more powerful than any of this. Please continue to pray for John as his mental health has been compromised and the PTSD unbearable.

Psalm 29:11: "The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace."
Donations collected will allow us to continue to advocate for John and social injustice.
Advocate
My name is Megan Elizabeth, but I often go by "Red". I'm a 42-year-old brutally honest, transparent, loyal, socially awkward, single mama. I might possibly be the only woman you come across who trips up steps, wears her shirts inside out, and pushes instead of pulling when entering a store. I wasn't always this ravishing.
I wear my heart on my sleeve and have experienced the most detrimental heartache I ever imaged. I've always been the "people" pleaser until I shifted my focus on MY well-being and mental health.
In 2018 the light bulb went off and my weight loss battle begun. I spent the first 6 months making changes to my diet and slowly incorporated working out. It was a slow but steady process with amazing results. For the first time in over 20 years, I was under 200lb! I was on top of the world. My self-worth was the best it's ever been.
What does every single mama do when they reinvent themselves? They check the dating pool. In the fall of 2019, I joined Facebook dating and it's been a wild ride ever since.
Life hasn't always been kind, easy, or fair. I am a firm believer that God protects and guides us on our journey. I never imagined I'd be a "prison" spouse but here I am, in my 40's, loving and missing my babe, tremendously.
Three years ago I was living my best life with my favorite girls in Siesta Keys on vacation. We were less than 24hrs in when I got the call.
I've spent the last 16 months trying to dissect every piece of evidence from trial, using TikTok as my platform to share his story. I started a business, designed this page, and have educated myself on case laws in hopes that one day the truth will come out. Until then, I will continue to share his story, advocate for this misguided, pray for the broken hearted, and forgive those who have caused harm.

When I got pregnant at 19, I envisioned the white picket fence kind of fairytale life. The ones you typically only see in movies. Their father left when they were younger, and I was left to rock motherhood solo. Here we are nearly 22 years later, and both girls are thriving. The oldest is set to graduate next year with her degree in Criminal Justice and the youngest is headed into her 2nd year of speech pathology. I don't know how I did it, but we survived plenty of heartache, disappointment, and loss. By the GRACE of GOD we survived.
Our Story
John and I met September of 2019, in which neither of us were looking for anything serious. I just had just lost 80lbs and was feeling like a "baddie" so I joined the fairly new Facebook dating app. I had a few prospects but something about John that caught my attention. I think it was his smile, or maybe it was the awkwardness I could sense from the conversation. After three failed attempts of meeting up, I finally caved and asked him to join me on a brisk Saturday afternoon stroll. We walked for 90 minutes before I said, "okay I'm done". He walked me to my car, and I said "okay thanks" in my slightly annoyed voice, and we drove our separate ways. At that point I chalked it up to an "L" and started responding to some other guys. Later that night I got a text from John asking what my thoughts were, and I told him. I asked him what he thought and his response "I don't know I was going to ask this girl to dinner but don't know how she feels". My response, "how many girls are you trying to date from this app". He said, "just the cute red head". We ended up meeting that night at Denny's in Liberty. We talked for hours before I realized it was 12am. He gave me a kiss goodnight, and the rest was history.
Three years after John and I started our relationship an unfortunate twist of events occurred causing John to be convicted of felony murder in 2024. A year into his prison sentence and lost without him, I decided to do what anyone else would do. Fight! I have spent hours educating myself on the Ohio laws and Judicial Misconduct that happens during every case. From the set-up that started this whole ordeal, to the deficient investigation, and the corrupt court system, John didn't stand a chance. I will spend every waking moment getting to the truth and exposing the evil that caused unimaginable heartache for two families.
Thank You
One of my favorite bible verses
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11.
