Justice For Sgt. Benefield- No Vet Left Behind


Justice For Sgt. Benefield- No Vet Left Behind
The Issue
We the People of Rome & Floyd County call on Sheriff Dave Roberson, as a Constitutional Officer, duly elected by the People to uphold the Constitution to interpose on behalf of Sgt. Henry Benefield. As the supreme law enforcer of Floyd County, the Sheriff is duty bound to refuse to carry out unconstitutional decisions such as that made by Judge Johnson on March 16th, 2026 in Floyd County Superior Court that granted Sgt. Benefield’s ex-wife a writ of possession rendering this 79 year old 100 percent disabled veteran, his son and daughter-in-law caregivers, his two adolescent grandchildren, and his 77 year old brother diagnosed with an intellectual disability, to imminent homelessness and the inability to safely recover from a major surgery set for March 27, 2026. The US Constitution, 5th Amendment states: No person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Whereas pertinent evidence was excluded from being heard in court, due process of law was not achieved and the US Constitution was violated. The US Constitution, Article III. Section 2 states: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution…. Whereas the judicial system is not granted powers to render unconstitutional decisions, violating the supreme law of the land, which is the US Constitution, the decision made on March 16th, 2026, noted above is null and void. The Georgia State Constitution, Article I., Section I. states: Paragraph I. Life, liberty, and property. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property except by due process of law. Paragraph II. Protection to person and property; equal protection. Protection to person and property is the paramount duty of government and shall be impartial and complete. No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws. Whereas those entrusted to act on behalf of the government are duty bound to protect people and property with equal protection of the laws and as stated above did not allow pertinent evidence to be admitted, the judicial decision violated the Georgia State Constitution. God’s law, The Fifth Commandment: Thou shalt not steal. God’s law, The Tenth Commandment: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, …nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s. Whereas Sgt Benefield holds deed and title to the property which his ex-wife vacated in October of 2023, forcible removal can only been seen as Government sanctioned tyranny, depriving Sgt Benefield of his God given rights to his property. The facts are: Sgt Henry Benefield is a 100% disabled retired decorated combat veteran who served two tours in Vietnam from 1966-1969. Among his decorations, include 2-Bronze Star Medals and the Army Commendation Medal. He retired from the Army, Chapter 61, honorably discharged medical retirement in 1990. He purchased the 10.5 acres in Floyd County in 1990, following his retirement. He was married in 1982 and raised 3 step-children in addition to having his own son by this marriage, Matthew, who is currently caring for his father and uncle on the property along with his wife, Tori, and their children, ages 11 and 14. Divorce from his wife was finalized on June 4, 2025 with much discovery not allowed as evidence in those proceedings. Failures of the judicial system to hear the following evidence in the eviction case: Guardianship Ad Litem was appointed on a permanent basis by Floyd Probate on December 21, 2023 to an attorney from Cobb County, Diane Woods, due to incapacity related to severe PTSD without any evidence that next of kin was sought to act as guardian. On May 12, 2025 the guardianship was transferred to Tori Benefield, daughter in law, because “the current Guardian is not effectively carrying out her duties as Guardian for Henry Benefield.” Despite needing a guardian and having one in place, the courts did not allow his guardian to speak on his behalf during the final or recent proceedings. His ex-wife withdrew over $300,000 from their joint bank account between 2018 and 2023 without Sgt Benefield’s knowledge and was not acknowledged by the court, yet she still seeks compensation of $210,857.59 which led to the writ of possession of his personal property and residence. We the People appeal to the Sheriff of Floyd County, the deputies of the Sheriff’s department, and all elected officials within Rome and Floyd County that swear an oath to uphold the Constitution to step in as the lesser magistrates and stop the unconstitutional act of physical removal of Sgt Benefield from his property and residence in Floyd County. The lesser magistrate doctrine declares that when the superior of higher civil authority makes unjust/ immoral laws or decrees, the lesser or lower ranking civil authority has both a right and duty to refuse obedience to that superior authority. [Pastor Matthew J. Trewhella, https://defytyrants.com/ We the undersigned stand with the law abiding lesser magistrates that are duty bound to interpose between the unjust and unconstitutional court decision of March 16, 2026 and Sgt Henry Benefield. Tori Benefield, Guardian and Daughter in Law Kristie L. Miner, Candidate Georgia State House of Representatives, District 13 Republican Candidate, Georgia State House District 13 Rome/Floyd
