Protect Our 6th Amendment Rights
Every day good decent honest people go to work doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. They just want to do their jobs, go home and live their lives. The same holds true for most of the people in the law enforcement, the judicial system and social workers. Most people want to do their jobs and go home to their families. However, there are a few bad apples in every profession. I fully support the people in Law Enforcement. I have the highest esteem for those in Law Enforcement, the Judicial Systems and Social Work.
I fully support our good officers in doing their difficult jobs. I fully support the officers in ICE and the Border Patrol. My cousin Chris worked for C/BP for thirty years before retiring. In 2015, Chris was the Director of Operations for all of C/BP. Both of my brothers and myself worked in the Social Work fields for many years. My brother Mike was Director of County Mental Health in El Centro, CA. He worked in the Social Work arena for over fifty years. My good friend Dean retired as a police sergeant from a major city in the Metroplex. (Dean never pulled his gun on anybody in his forty years on the police force. The same holds true for many officers. They just want to do their job and go home to their families.) My neighbor Dan is a retired fire fighter from the city of Richardson, Texas. I know how hard good officers work.
I have a problem with officers who use their badge to target “problematic” people. I have a problem with officers who forget that other people work hard and want to go home to their families. In the “Why Me” section I detailed some of these officers in the letter to my friend “Tina”.
Plea Agreements Destroys Our Due Process
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
People sitting in jail for years for their refusal to sign a plea agreement, or pay an outrageous bond forfeiture. Court appointed defense attorneys work with prosecutors to convict people with plea agreements. Defense attorneys throw cases. Judges knowingly allow travesty of justice in their courts. Our political and judicial systems need to be cleansed and sanitized.
In Kentucky, a sheriff killed a judge for running a sex prostitution ring. In Rains County, Texas, a Judge allegedly threatened to have a person killed if he would not sign a plea agreement. There are police departments who can make problems “go-away” by disposing of problematic people. People are left in jails for years waiting for trial. Since the person is charged but not convicted, there is no oversight agency looking into their cases. How prevalent are these cases in our country? There are politicians who use this system to stay in power. How many people have been Clintonized? They tried to do it to Trump. They did it to Stephen K. Bannon.
Our rights cannot be suspended by an over burdened court.
