Scarlett Wilson Fires Back

“While we push hard for justice through vigorous prosecution, we do so in a reasonable, honest and efficient manner,” ….. words one will never hear describing Jean Toal’s corrupt Office of Disciplinary Counsel where she can reward her servants and punish her enemies….. and have Don Beatty rubber stamp whatever she tells him to do.

Prosecutorial misconduct? In South Carolina?

Is the Pope catholic? well, we can’t use that one…

Can you keep your doctor? nope…not that one

Is Sen Graham a Reagan conservative? dang, not that one either…

Is Nancy Mace smokin’ hot? ding-ding-ding

The requirement that the prosecution prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of a crime in order to convict a defendant is often time consuming and expensive. The burden of proof imposed on the prosecution and the presumption of innocence granted every defendant are based on the “Due Process” Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

The realities of scientific testing, time constraints for trial, and costs to taxpayers “burden of proof” often forces prosecutors to threaten defendants with maximum prison sentences if they even contemplate going to a jury trial thus resulting in plea deals for admissions of guilt.

The realities for defendants accused of crimes are very large legal bills from dedicated defense attorneys, qualified expert testimony, and a prosecutorial misconduct often beginning with biased arresting agencies themselves extending to biased judges at all levels.

Anyone convicted of a crime has the right to appeal that conviction if they believe a legal error has occurred. If you have been convicted of a crime and plan to appeal, you are no longer known as the defendant, you are now the appellant in the case.

In criminal cases, an appeal asks a higher court to look at the record of the trial proceedings to determine if a legal error occurred that may have affected the outcome of the trial or the sentence imposed by the judge.

An appeal rarely challenges the decision of the jury, but
rather challenges any legal errors that the judge or the prosecution may have
made during the trial. Any ruling that the judge made during the preliminary
hearing, during pre-trial motions and during the trial itself can be appealed
if the appellant believes the ruling was in error.

A criminal conviction can be appealed on the basis that the strength of the evidence presented a trial did not support the verdict. This type of appeal is significantly more expensive and much more lengthy than a legal error appeal and even more rarely successful.

Two cases that caught my attention was the 1995 illegal recording made by sheriff deputies between a murder suspect and his attorney and the forensic gun powder residue tests effectively convicting Brett Parker.

1995:

You can dismiss all of this or sit down as adults and ask, is this where we are? A simple truth in all of this is if every person arrested and charged with a crime asked for a jury trial, our judicial system would collapse. If bonds were denied and jury convictions became the norm our industrial-prison complex would collapse.

My solution is to be honest in all of this. People are simply raised up by incompetent parents and educated in an equally incompetent education system then go out and raise their children the same way. This is the nexus for maladjusted juveniles and adults. The other solution is how tax payer revenue is actually spent must be adjusted in light of unequal amounts appropriated towards maladjusted adults in one form or another.

So where is the follow up?? have we dropped all this.
