Long story short, I am...Thank you for writing this. Long story short, I am trapped in a hell right now because a certifiably insane woman, who stole a car, impersonated a police officer, was herself documented committing A&B, calling a policeman a rapist (the two had never met before) falsely-accusing both her parents, has falsely-accused me of assault. Problem is, it did not happen, there was no witness nor evidence for that reason. She logged a "refusal" when the local police insisted she should go to the hospital when she thought to claim her finger as "injured" (assault here in this charge was defined as NO physical contact having happened) and she refused to go the hospital to have the finger, actually arthritic and not having ever been injured, looked at. The local DA refused to acknowledge that 23 days before accusing me falsely, she committed a home invasion. Some of the very same police personnel who attended to my arrest took her out of the home invastion, wherein she freaked out burly construction workers. After the false-charge against me, and this seems significant, the same court refused to let her have a restraining order against me, I Was able to get one against her, and another court, in face of the charge against me, has provided me with full custody of our daughter, 13. Also, she gouhlishly brought our daughter to my arraignment. I did not do that when she came back from a 2-week psychiatric evaluation to face an A&B she Did commit against her boyfriend. Meanwhile, the DA refuses to acknowledge that my accuser has done all these things, and is being arraigned next month herself for the stolen car and mayhem she committed in January. The DA, blindly, and with malice against me, still expects to put me through trial. Oh, and my accuser, in another psychotic state, reported her own mother as molesting my daughter over the weekend. My former mother-in-law, while preparing for church, had squad cars pulling up to her house yesterday because this woman, insane, gets rights that the local DA takes from me.Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545352536999276794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-7048750312047220432011-03-31T23:14:54.008-04:002011-03-31T23:14:54.008-04:00Sorry, pal.

The state is providing the apparatus for a trial, and it is supposed to be fair.<br /><br />Gee, Buzz said the state did not "get a fair trial" in the Tonya Craft case. The state was not being tried; I can tell you that Tonya did not receive a fair trial, not with Gregor, Arnt and outhouse having illegal strategy sessions on how to rig a conviction.<br /><br />And please don't tell me that prosecutors "seek the truth." If you are telling me that subornation of perjury is "seeking the truth," then you must be an employee of or associated with the LMJC.<br /><br />Furthermore, states and their justice systems don't have "rights." They have powers. Individuals being tried have "rights."<br /><br />So, all I can say is that you truly are an idiot, as anyone who would defend the conduct of Arnt and Gregor either is dishonest or incredibly stupid.<br /><br />By the way, it is "You're wrong," not "your wrong."

He considered the seat House took but decided not to run.<br /><br />Can't have a DA who thinks the state has a right to a fair trial. Both sides have a right to a fair trial. The prosecution seeks the truth; proving that the evidence is sufficiently credible to prove every element of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Defense attorneys do not want that system to even suggest to jurors that the trial or their job has anything to do with seeking, finding or determining the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-80583401867596533902011-03-31T22:12:02.859-04:002011-03-31T22:12:02.859-04:00So, 10:09, what you are saying is that there shoul...So, 10:09, what you are saying is that there should be no real checks on prosecutors. First, I doubt that they would be defending themselves all the time.<br /><br />Second, it is obvious that immunity has turned prosecutors into a heavily-protected class of people. Legally, they pretty much are invulnerable. And you see the results.William L.

It was a bench trial and he received one day in jail.<br /><br />Nifong never was charged with a real crime and he certainly did not have to face what the three young men and their families faced when Nifong lied to get the indictments.

Therefore, prosecutors can't really put people in prison for laws which aren't violated under Constitutional law. Right? If that's right, why are we here? Their logic makes as much sense as a teenager doing something because everyone else does. That dog just don't hunt.<br />There are good prosecutors who follow the legal canons. But those people are just as bad as their evil brethern when they don't stop the travesties by refusing to allow them. The Supreme Court also handed down another decision either yesterday or today basically holding up the ones you cited, Bill. That one was in Texas, where a man was on death row because the prosecutor didn't pass on exculpatory evidence. Harry Connick Sr was the DA in that case but I can't remember the incarcerated man's name. Ruth Gingberg wrote the dissenting opinion. Very strong but she stopped short of actually saying prosecutors should be held civilly and criminally responsible for their actions.KC Sprayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090961846554719289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-15662751701323627102011-03-30T18:24:53.531-04:002011-03-30T18:24:53.531-04:00Greetings Dr Anderson
