RE: Pattern of Civil Rights Abuses by Milwaukee Police Department

Dear Agent Carlson:

This is in follow up to my letter dated May 31, 2013 to you in regard to the FBI's current investigation into the Milwaukee Police Department ("MPD") for a pattern and practice of civil rights abuses.

I understand that arrests, searches and seizures without probable cause, a poor citizen complaint process, all could warrant federal intervention against the MPD for a number of continuing civil rights violations. So, a federal review here could, by design, encompass the set of facts that is affecting my case in my countless efforts of trying to prove my factual innocence through the MPD's continuous stonewalling my Open Records requests and internal complaints after I was framed by MPD detectives who had been involved in a drugs-for-guns investigation against Mohmammad Binwalee and his criminal organization before, during, and immediately after the August 19, 1989 murders of Binwalee and Dion Russell and by the MPD detectives who subsequently participated in the murder investigation of me in 1991.

In the meantime, you may wish to consider the circumstances surrounding the case of Barry Gibbs, a wrongfully convicted murderer, from the City of New York, was recently exonerated after he had spent more than eighteen years in prison. Mr. Gibbs' conviction was ultimately vacated upon the motion of the Kings County District Attorney because the only eyewitness came forward and recanted his testimony after learning of the New York Police Department ("NYPD") detective, Louis [redacted] who participated in the murder investigation of Mr. Gibbs was arrested on unrelated federal racketeering and narcotic charges several years earlier. As it happened, this NYPD detective [redacted] coerced the only eyewitness to identifying Mr. Gibbs as being involved in the murder, which showed that the detective himself had been motivated to actually fabricate evidence against Mr. Gibbs in an effort to protect a person believed to be associated with organized crime. And during Mr. Gibbs' endeavor to get complete exoneration, it was also revealed that the NYPD detective [redacted] maintained the victims' investigation file together with other homicide files regarding Mr. Gibbs' case in an unlocked file cabinet in an unlocked office of the detective's home.

In a similar way, I am driven to conclude, based on the circumstances of Mr. Gibbs' case, and based on the correspondences, with the enclosures of documentary evidence, that what I have sent to you so far, that an inquiry into the MPD detectives (Barry Debraska Jr. and Thomas [redacted] who participated in the drugs-for-guns investigation against Binwalee and his criminal organization immediately before and after the August 19, 1989 murders of Binwalee and Russell, including those MPD detectives (Brian [redacted], Vincent [redacted], and Paul [redacted] who participated in the subsequent murder investigation of me in 1991, should be made by the FBI to determine whether the "Itinerary of the 'As-Yet-Undisclosed-State-Evidence'" of my factual innocence that I am currently unable to get access through MPD's poor Open Records and internal complaints systems are in fact in some unlocked file cabinet in an unlocked room in those MPD detectives' possession or homes.

In short, I cite the cases of Barry Gibbs, as it sets forth detailed matters, as to which to provide the FBI the context of the required factual circumstances by analogy to allow the FBI's current investigation against the MPD to encompass the continuing civil rights abuses affecting my case in my ongoing attempts of getting access to evidence of my factual innocence through the MPD's poor Open Records and complaint systems, including the MPD consciously and deliberately causing my extended unjust imprisonment in that regard.

Think! Has a truly innocent person ever ended up making such serious charges that have consistently been made by me against the MPD unless those charges are true? Again, I've said my piece. I rest my case.

Thank you again for your continuing thoughtful consideration in my case. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at 920-324-5571.

Very truly yours,
