Chooey' Grange guilty of drug-ring murders
Spokesman Review, The (Spokane), Feb 18, 2001 by John Craig Staff writer

Portland resident John D. "Chooey" Grange was convicted Saturday of silencing two Rainbow Family drug-ring snitches by shooting them to death and burning their bodies last June when they were spotted at the Northport Bartre Faire.

Grange, 26, faces about 40 to 53 years in prison for the first- degree murders of Joshua Schaefer and Nick Kaiser, both 21, at a primitive cabin in the mountains 15 miles north of Colville. His use of a firearm may add five to 10 years to the total when Stevens County Superior Court Judge Rebecca Baker passes sentence March 29.

Prosecutor Jerry Wetle said the case gave county residents an unusual glimpse of the big-money, highstakes drug deals that occur in big cities with marijuana grown in rural northeastern Washington.

Within the counterculture Rainbow Family are drug rings that deal in huge sums of money and sometimes resort to violence to protect their interests, Wetle said.

 

Rainbow Family killer sentenced to 63 years

Man admits cover-up...

A man convicted of the drug related murders of two fellow members of the Rainbow Family was sentenced Friday to the maximum 63-1/2 years in prison.

Now 26, convicted trigger man John D. "Chooey" Grange likely will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Also Friday, two accomplices who testified against Grange received maximum one-year jail terms for rendering criminal assistance by helping cover up the murders last July.

Jeff Cunningham, 25, and Dane M. Williams, 27, helped Grange put the bodies into a vehicle and set it afire near the primitive cabin where the two 21-year-old victims were shot to death.

A hunter found the victims' bones about three months later on a logging road about 15 miles north of Colville. Nick Kaiser of Waynesboro, Pa., was identified from dental records. The body of San Diego resident Josh Schaefer was burned so badly it could be identified only through the testimony of Cunningham and Williams.

Kaiser's mother, Judy Kaiser, said the hardest day of her life was when sheriff's officers called to say they'd found her son's vehicle, "and could we please send his dental records."

 

There are 2 sides to every story. Two Rainbow sisters were murdered in West Virginia & the local authorities tried very hard to pin that one on Rainbows. It was revealed years later that locals had done the terrible deed.

Here's Chewy's side:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John "Chewy" Grange

63 years


My name is John "Chewey" Grange and my case is unusual to this organization. I was convicted of two murders. Both of the men killed I would have felt privileged to call a friend and the two men that testified against me, I did consider as friends.

I grew up in a bad neighborhood with not many opportunities away from hard labor or drug dealing. I was one of the ones to choose work. I have worked construction almost my entire life doing everything from plumbing to finish carpentry, to roofing. I started in these pursuits at an age of 15.

The prosecutor decided to make me out to be an enforcer and "hit man" for a fictitious drug organization that even the DEA testified did not exist. My two friends were given deals of one year to testify that I had committed these crimes. I was given life. There was no evidence against me, but for their words against me. What physical evidence was left, proved that they had not been telling the truth.

My entire world has been turned around because of this. I have been in prison for over two years. I have lost family members and have not been allowed to even go to their funerals. The girl I was going to marry left me, seeing no hope in justice being served. My mother still tells me how she cries every time she thinks about where I am.

I had never been convicted of a crime in my life and figured like most people that as long as I followed the laws I wouldn't. I would like to return home to my life, but with this current system it seems almost impossible.

Support is rare, so if you think you can support me or any one of these people on the wall, please contact someone and offer what you can. Thank you.

There's three sides to every story-- yours and mine and the cold hard truth (Don Henley). Thank you Hippiestead for presenting side two. The main reason I posted it is I was wondering if perhaps this might explain the muddled rumors regarding Rainbows murdering other Rainbows.........

 

ah well, beer in the main circle, for whatever reason, is kinda sad to me. it's the kind of thing that would have me getting up and walking away. i go to gatherings to try to escape the mundane bullshit of the workaday world and the presense of booze swilling drunks is one of those things i hope to avoid. if i wanted to hang out with drunks and smell their beer i'd go down to the local bar instead of trudging my camp gear miles into the woods. A Camp already owns the front gate, they even have their own bar but now a presedence has been set for it to be okay to bring booze into the main circle. doesn't seem fair somehow that i'm suppose to be accepting of their desires to drink but they need not be accepting of my desire not to be around them when they do. **shrug** i guess there's no point in asking if there's a backdoor around A camp as it seems the gathering is becoming one big A Camp. may as well stay home.
