27 years in prison for 'should have known' her daughter was in danger.What happened?
suppressed evidence:
When her grandparents were present Kelsey continued to "swing her arms like she was trying to hit GM," "scream" "throw all her books across the room" "cried most of the visit" "hitting her head with her hand and telling the grandparents to 'stop it'" "scratch grandpa" "continue to be mean to grandpa" "pinching and pulling at grandpa's arm" "Kelsey yells at grandpa 'No, No'" "trying to be mean to GM by pulling her hair" "keeps to herself, not wanting to interact with the grandparents" and attempted to hide from them so often it was noted as "She has been doing this at every visit."

but not once display this activity while in the presence of her mother?

Fascinatingly, DA Richard Smothermon fought and won for the suppression of this evidence during the trial of Kelsey's mother, Raye Dawn; sadly only one of the virtually countless mishandlings of Kelsey's case.

Shortly after being charged, Michael Porter began to correspond with Kathie Briggs and her daughters Shirica Howard and Jeanna Fowler in a series of emails that began in December, 2005 and lasted for the first two months of 2006. The alleged conspirators exchanged phone numbers and even met in secret to discuss the case and the evidence that could be mounted against Kelsey's mother and her family.
Kathie Briggs didn't hide want she was looking for in her emails. She took the time to meet with the person arrested for the murder of her granddaughter. Kathie even mentioned seeking charges against Gayla Smith, Kelsey's maternal grandmother, who was never suspected of anything. This shows how blind the hatred had become:

"I am sure you know who all I am interested in, but mostly Gayla or any family member…" Kathie Briggs to Porter

"First of all, I want Raye Dawn in jail and I want her charged with murder." Kathie Briggs to Porter 1/24/06

Michael Porter never went to trial for Murder and Sexual Assault. DA, Richard Smothermon gave him a plea agreement with the amended charge of Enabling Child Abuse, then used his testimony in a trial against Kelsey's mother. Smothermon has since moved Porter out of state to serve his time and his whereabouts are kept hidden "for his protection" according to a spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Kelsey's mother, Raye Dawn, was found guilty of Enabling Child Abuse, despite the lack of any evidence showing her knowledge of Porter having laid a hand on Kelsey prior to her death. The DA released information before Porter's trial regarding their interview with a school counselor.

According to the DA, six days after Kelsey's death Porter's eight-year-old daughter,
Whitney, told a counselor at school, Katherine Reynolds,
that her dad was nice to Kelsey when people were around, but when no one was looking her father was mean to her.

The DA went on to share that Whitney described how she saw Porter hit Kelsey's head on a brick wall when no one was around. Whitney didn't share this with anyone until after Kelsey's death. To this day no evidence has been presented of Raye Dawn ever seeing any abuse by Porter.

27 years for 'Should Have Know' her daughter was in danger is overkill at it's best.

The DA released information before Porter's trial regarding their interview with a school counselor.

According to the DA,

six days after Kelsey's death Porter's eight-year-old daughter,
Whitney,
told a counselor at school, Katherine Reynolds,

that her dad was nice to Kelsey when people were around,
but when no one was looking her father was mean to her.

The DA
went on to share that Whitney described how she saw Porter hit Kelsey's head on a brick wall when no one was around.

Whitney didn't share this with anyone until after Kelsey's death.

To this day no evidence has been presented of Raye Dawn ever seeing any abuse by Porter.

She lobbied to enroll Kelsey in a "play therapy" program in an effort to determine if anything outside of a medical condition was happening to her daughter. Kelsey's mother received authorization for that program in the mail the day Kelsey died.

Despite the lack of any evidence showing Kelsey's mother having had warning of such a vicious attack,

a jury convicted her on the basis of Kelsey's death

. The DA asked the jury to find her guilty solely on contested evidence and the fact that Kelsey's step-father committed the act.

Raye Dawn is now appealing a 27 year sentence for a deed she did not commit and no evidence shows she allowed.

Without a cause identified Kelsey was removed from the guardianship of her paternal grandmother (Kathie Briggs) on May 3rd and taken into DHS custody to be placed in a foster home. Kelsey was placed by DHS in the home of Gayla Smith (Kelsey's maternal grandmother) where she remained for a month and a half from May 4th until June 15th. During this time visitation for her paternal grandparents (Kathie & Royce Briggs), her mother (Raye Dawn Smith) and her step-mother at the time (Ashley Briggs/ Lytle) were scheduled at DHS offices. Kelsey's father (Lance Briggs) was out of state during this time and according to DHS visitation logs her step-father (Michael Porter) had one in-person visit with Kelsey during these six weeks.These visits were Kelsey's only in-person contact with these people while she was in foster care.

The visits took place at DHS offices in designated visitation rooms where participants could be observed through one-way glass. Observation consisted of one or two DHS aide workers at any given time. These aide workers would then write notes on what they observed throughout the visit. This is our glimpse of Kelsey's interaction with these people while on a level field. This is where we see through the eyes of a trained DHS worker unconnected to either side of the custody battle.

Kathie Briggs

Kathie Briggs:
Paternal Grandmother

The first scheduled visit after Kelsey was taken into DHS custody on May 3rd was with her paternal grandmother on May 6th. According to the log the first thing Kelsey did was "yell at GM (grandma)."

What follows over the next many weeks remains consistent with few variations. When her grandparents were present Kelsey continued to "swing her arms like she was trying to hit GM," "scream" "throw all her books across the room" "cried most of the visit" "hitting her head with her hand and telling the grandparents to 'stop it'" "scratch grandpa" "continue to be mean to grandpa" "pinching and pulling at grandpa's arm" "Kelsey yells at grandpa 'No, No'" "trying to be mean to GM by pulling her hair" "keeps to herself, not wanting to interact with the grandparents" and attempted to hide from them so often it was noted as "She has been doing this at every visit."

When we cast our eyes on Kelsey's visits with her mother, Raye Dawn, we see "excited to be with Mom today" "She went right into her arms" "hugs and kisses today" "Kelsey talked the whole visit" "Mom painted Kelsey's fingernails" "Kelsey told Mom she missed her" "she woke up when she heard Mom's voice." Kelsey; she reacted the way she felt.

On one visit Kelsey "told her Mom that Daddy Mike hurt her head." At the time of the visit, May 18th, it had been more than 16 days since Kelsey's last contact with Michael Porter. The aide noted it and Kelsey's mother, Raye Dawn, spoke with DHS regarding Kelsey's statement. The very next day Kelsey had two scheduled visits: first with her grandparents, Kathie & Royce Briggs, and the second to follow immediately after with her mother and Michael Porter (Porter's first since Kelsey went into DHS custody). When the aide went to retrieve Kelsey from her visit with the Briggs, Kathie claimed "when Kelsey saw Mike she crawled up on her lap and said she did not want to see him." Yet, when the aide "carried Kelsey into the room she was happy to see Mom and Mike." "At no time did Kelsey show any fear of Mike." Two weeks later in a visit with Kathie they "were sitting on the couch talking about their feet when aide observed Kelsey saying Daddy Mike hurt my feet" yet Kathie "did not comment on this." Kelsey mentions Mike where the aide worker can hear her only twice (once to her mother and once to Kathie) but only the mother acknowledges it. Who exactly was and was not looking out for Kelsey?

Raye Dawn allowed her daily life to be an open book to DHS. Even in testimony DHS stated that she was "completely cooperative" and that she did "everything that was asked of her."

YOU ARE CYBERSTALKING A TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRL. The DA shared none of this. IT IS ALL LIES. Whitney loved her father, and he loved her. It's common with pedophiles and child abusers. They usually hurt the child they are not related to by blood. But, you would know, right? SUE CYR IS STALKING AND TERRORIZING A CHILD.

There is no hope for Sue Cyr, and her sick fixation on Raye Dawn Smith. Her children have suffered repeated abuse throughout their lives. And this is the failure of the DHS for sending back those eight innocent souls who were sent back to her dangerous care.

post your proof,

you don't have it,

you don't even have the correct names of my kids.

you are just making it all up.

my kids are all healthy, happy, functioning working adults who do not crave the pain of others, nor are they felons, and a couple of them are old enough to be grandparents.and they have never been hospitalized while in my care.

Great another pile of crap posted by a lunitic and being responded to only by the persdon weho posted it!

Yes Sue, it's a FACT. Woment wo ALLOW theri chgildren to be bbused and murdereed are hels responsible for their CRIME.

As fra as you sayinf "no". Your egg supply is dried up so you dome have to worry. Too band you were not so carefully when you should have been, it could have perevented eight children form being subjected to a nut like you for a mother not to mention the endless stream of losers you dreagged home to play the daddy role.

And according to your past posts your OLDEST is 34 years old. FYI that is NOT old enough to be a grandparent.

Maybe your youngest (who is 12-14) needs to hurry up and get knocked up so she can be a granny by age 28! Great life to wish on a cgild, you sick bitch!

When all else fails blame the attorney! Sue is alread grumbling about Jones too. I can't wait the hear Sue's argument with God when the time for THAT little discussion finally arrives!

I think the only person who UNDERSTANDS the case and KNOW every important detail (and can even make the ones dreamed up by JO become "real", is Sue.

Maybe she should be representing Raye Dog? Sue might even get the NONEXISTANT councelor to testify! Bet she woun't have her "innocent" client get within ten feet of polygraph equipment though!

Are you feeling rather compulsive and obsessive? Financial issues could be a problem,, especially if they appear to threaten your sense of emotional security. Don't let jealousy or envy make you do things that will set other people against you.
