"About My Trial" and APPEAL
Yes I had a trial, where I was represented by an incompetent attorney who had never handled a capital case. This attorney was so incompetent that he doesn't hire an investigator, and he doesn't even go across the street to to the Sheriff's Office and look at the physical evidence that they have. This attorney fails to cross examine witnesses. What took place with my trial, you can't even call it due process.
When my appeals get started, the Judge David C. Wiggins who appointed this incompetent attorney to represent me at trial, is now handling my appeals. On June 18, 1996 I'm granted a hearing on ineffective assistance of counsel called (IAC) and prosecutoral misconduct. The judge then sits on the case for eleven years. Why? Well because my incompetent Attorney had become a Judge, and my lying ass prosecutor who put me on death row, and allowed the trigger man a deal that would put him back in the street was also now a judge. So Judge Wiggins lets my appeal sit dormant for over a decade in order to protect these two judges who were my trial attorney and trial prosecutor. Trial, I didn't have a fair trial. And these appeals have been a damn joke. And our screwed up American Justice System wouldn't have - and couldn't have done this to a rich man. But I'm poor white trash, who's been represented by state paid attorneys, who don't give a damn about anything other than the financial gain they're going to earn off my case number. So no-one can tell me I had a trial or due process. What I had is a screwed up experience with the United State Judicial System that screwed me over while it perpetrated this Equal Justice crap!
I can show you case law where Judge Wiggins should have disqualified himself once my trial attorney and prosecutor became judges. My attorneys and I filed the proper motions for disqualification, but he didn't want to lose control of the case he wanted to be able to manipulate these appeals, appointing what counsel he wanted etc etc. The fact remains, that there's been no fair trial or due process in this case. It's been one screw up after another.
Judge Wiggins appointed Henry Davis to represent me in 1990. Mr. Davis had never handled a capital case. And you look at other capital cases, they had two attorneys, one of which has to have some type of capital experience. NO - what happened in my case should never have happened. I'm going to dive into this much deeper in the coming months, and show you just how poorly that I was represented during this piss-poor ass trial I was given. 'Cause it was a fraud, plain and simple. There is so much injustice in the American Judicial System and there's absolutely no reason or excuse for this injustice that's focused on the poor.
Thank you for your time.
In peace and love,
Ronnie

I'm all for a vigorous defense where applicable. A convicted murderer (not once..but twice) is a stretch by any imagination.
No appeals will ever release you from incarceration due to your convictions. Get over yourself.
Should you escape death, you'll still be facing life without parole. That is what happens when you play god.
Might I suggest you now adapt a kinder, gentler approach to life? Accept your situation for what it is and make the best of it.
Rather than rant and rave - try to minimize the acts that got you there. DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY WOMEN).
Do your time with some dignity - something you have not shown in the past. Respect them and they will respect you.
(Especially the tone is somehow different than usually. Sounds more like constructive criticizing than in the past.)
Anyone who contributes to or entertains his rants might want to consider the others incarcerated who would benefit from our insight and possibly our support.
BTB has alot of inmates who have very actionable cases...whose lives may very well be changed by public demonstration.
Personally, I'm going to assist those who have a chance. To throw good money after bad is not my idea of support. I want to help those who have a chance at life.
Then I´d like to say how sorry I am at your loss, as well as everybody else´s who lost a loved one by murder.
It´s a terrible pain to lose someone one loves anyway, even by natural death, but I imagine it´s a hell more terrible if it´s by a crime because then it´s so unnecessary and senseless.
Josie Clark was a perfect example of the use and abuse Ronald Clark has visited on people in his life. She spent 10 years in a prison for Ronald Clark. He never even uttered her name. He never tried to vindicate her. He left her hanging to dry.
Now, let's not forget that Clark has been tried AND convicted of (two) murders. Both were death but one was overturned to life without parole.
Ronald Clark has *other* murders in his closet. You can only be put to death one time, though.
