ASSERTING CONTROL OF MY OWN REPRESENTATION

As I address this blog to you members sitting on my court of public opinion. I am mindful of having the freedom to assert control of my representation before you. This is me – it’s who I am – no pretense – it’s my story being told by me, and I am inviting you to become involved in it – I am asking you to judge me, and the facts I present before you. I believe my life and freedom rest in the power of this courts verdict – as this is my appeal of last resort to overcome the miscarriage of justice that has haunted me for 30 years – as an innocent indigent unjustly convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to death. The State of Florida appointed attorneys to represent me throughout the appellate process – I intend to present evidence before this court showing all of the attorneys appointed to represent me, abuse two loopholes in the law. Allowing them to suppress and oppress their own misconduct in obstructing justice though denying me the representation of the facts showing I did not receive a fair and impartial trial. The two loopholes in the law I am pertaining to in essence state – those convicted of a capital crime do not have the right to self representation on appeal – nor are they entitled to effective representation of counsel. These loopholes in the law leave the door open – inviting abuse through violation of the integrity of the law to enter. Because they place the fate of the indigent and innocent solely in the hands of the attorneys forced on them. In my case these loopholes in the law reveal a faction within Florida’s legal community who are not only guilty of abusing and violating the integrity of the law, but complicit in the criminal enterprise of racketeering to capitalize off of Florida’s 51 million dollar a year capital punishment scheme. These are strong allegations, and I will use this blog to bring out the evidence to support them in detail. Once this court of public opinion understands how the failure to bring the five trial level

attorneys forward to address the irreparable prejudice the withheld favorable evidence had in denying a fair and impartial trial. It will be easier for this court to understand and to weigh the evidence I present of racketeering by a faction within Florida’s legal community = BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE POWER OR CONTROL OF HOW I AM REPRESENTED …

Respectfully
