I watched Brian DeQuincy Newman’s funeral on the internet because I could have been prosecuted for contempt of court if I had done what comes naturally to my decent upbringing: offer my condolences in person.
I regret to say that I would have had only a prayer of forgiveness for Brian Newman had I gone to his funeral. He sat on Columbia’s City Council after I had been once more falsely arrested as if I were an animal and had my wrists bruised in the process. That 8 July 2010 false arrest of myself on two more false criminal charges (of which I was, thank God, later exonerated) was to pressure me to plead guilty to ANOTHER SET of two false criminal charges against which I had represented myself WITHOUT A LAWYER and with none other than Judge Clifton Newman presiding. Thank God, the jury refused to convict me after six hours of deliberations into the late evening of Friday, 26 February 2010, requiring Judge Newman to declare a mistrial.
Immediately thereafter, I gathered OBEJCTIVE EVIDENCE that 365 perjuries, forgeries, fabrications and subornation of perjury were used against me in that trial. TO THIS DAY, all concerned refuse to look at my evidence. And to deter my pursuit of a speedy retrial or dismissal (which, thank God was ordered by another judge 30 months later), the same prosecutor who had caused my first set of false charges kept hurling more false criminal charges at me.
To City Council, I took photos of my bruised wrists due to the brutality and corruption of Columbia’s Police Department (“CPD”); and I specifically directed a reference to my trial on the first set of false criminal charges to Councilor Newman.
He responded with a political nod of his head and a glassy indifferent look in his eyes, as if I were an animal talking to him.
Sorry, both judges Newman! If I had reason to be grateful to the late Brian Newman, I would have been effusive about it.
But the only way you can honor the memory of a flawed son and brother is to remedy his sin of omission by doing what he failed to do: investigate those who bring false criminal charges against the innocent for the financial gain of the false accusers.
History is like Karma. You know what they say the latter is.

Why do you have to publish this about Judge Newman? It makes no difference now at all. Fits just can’t help itself to try to be first. This was a sad and private time for Judge Newman and you should have respected him enough to give him his space.

That is what Judge Newman was asking for and Justice Beatty denied him that space. Beatty made this reportable news not Newman. FITSNEWS is reporting in a completely legitimate manner.
