]]> Comment on $600,000 Verdict in False Imprisonment Case in Fairfax County by Jeff Deese.

Sr Fri, 06 Aug 2010 16:52:34 +0000 http://laconiclawblog.com/?p=777#comment-24210 This sort of thing happens regularly to the poor people that can not afford to hire an attorney. Myself, I've spent approximately 4 months out of the last twelve in a county jail here in Alabama, due to false arrest made by local law enforcement officers in Chambers and Lee County. Attorney are not available to the poor to do battle with the government. The corruption that goes on, particularly to the poor, is tremendous. Several years ago I got accused of slapping a 15 year old teenager, whom is the prosecutors nephew. I got acquitted of the charges, ( TWO YEARS LATER), but still I spent 4.5 years in prison over that false arrest, based on the an illegal probation violation. That violaion was the arrest for the fase charges. I spent the following four and a half years in the Federal Courts. Representing myself because I didn't have money for a lawyer and because the corrupt government officials that got envolved are so big that they had control of the federal (District and 11th Circuit) judges that interceptted my cases as soon as they hit the courts. If I wer black the NAACP would have been there for me and things would have been different. The ACLU of Atlanta didn't help; on the contrary, they stole evidense I sent them to prove an 11th Circuit Judge was conspiring with others to violate my rigts in order to protect the other corrupt government officials that had gotten involved. Your story is good but the unwritten facts makes it minute, really. Apply that money to prosecuting the corrupt government officials that allowed/ allow that sort of thing to happen, then you will really have did something toward combatting the problem.
