• Jermaine Pearson DNA EXONEREE CASE PROFILE
    My son is incarcerated due to lack of evidence in this case. The Supreme Court has asked the judge on Jermaine's case to remand the case. the United States Supreme Court grants certiorari and reverses a decision of a state supreme court or a Federal appeals court, it may remand the case. Likewise, an appeals court may remand a case to a trial court. A remand may be a full remand, essentially ordering an entirely new trial; when an appellate court grants a full remand, the lower court's decision is "reversed and remanded." Judge Lieber has failed to abide by The Supreme Courts guidelines.

  • Stop the Abuse of Mentally Ill Prisoners in SC
    I am a person with a serious mental illness. Five percent of the population suffers from a mental illness. Mental illness is not a crime; it is a brain disorder. Systematically torturing, abusing and neglecting prisoners because they have brain disorders is depraved and deplorable, and should never be permitted anywhere for any reason.

  • Justice for Kelly Thomas! The case needs to be retried.
    I am just a normal law abiding citizen that happened to hear about the news of the man Kelly Thomas. I watched the ~30 minute raw video footage of the police officers beating Mr. Kelly Thomas. When the verdict was released today (1/13/14) on the news where the officers were found "Not Guilty" on all counts, I was completely shocked. I don't agree with the jurors' decision and that they must have missed some important facts that were witnessed in the video. The case must be retried.

  • Allow "Company Police" In The State of Florida!
    Company Police will be able to take away the call load on the local law enforcement departments and bring safer communities to the State of Florida making it a safer and better destination for residents and tourists. Doing so will bring more tourists, jobs and funds for the State of Florida. Many times, security companies call on the local police department for a crime that they are witnessing and the local police department is tied up with another call. Allowing Company Police will bring a better response time and get more criminals off the street as well as bringing the call load off of the local police departments.

  • Do NOT parole pedophile Arthur Sobey
    Inmate Arthur Sobey was sentenced to 25-30 years for the systematic, manipulative prolonged sexual assault of a child under the age of 10. A 404 hearing during trial heard many but not all of the voices of children he had systematically abused prior. His next parole date is scheduled for February 2014. Even if he is not paroled the criminal justice system is mandated to release him in May of 2015 after only 15 years. Children are not safe as long as he is allowed to roam. If released he will have enormous resources since the military chose not to take away his pension even though law allowed it. Keep your children safe from this predator. Speak out against parole for Arthur Sobey.

  • PETITION TO INDICT CORRUPT LUZERNE COUNTY OFFICIALS
    Facts Which Support Grand Jury Indictment On April 29, 2010, members of Dallas 6 covered their cell windows and doors with bedding in order to protect themselves from impending physical harm because officers were beating prisoners who submitted information to an outside abuse report. Defendants, Dallas guards acted to assist one another in viciously beating the Dallas 6 on video tape and acted to cover up these assaults by creating false official reports to conceal the abuse. On or shortly after 4-29-2010, members of Dallas 6 received misconducts for refusing to obey an order. Dallas 6 by and thru the Human Rights Coalition in May of 2010 filed a criminal complaint against the Dallas guards in relation to the events. On June 14th, 2010 a member of the Dallas 6 filed a civil action against Luzerne County District Attorney and Dallas prison officials for turning a blind eye to assaults and refusing to investigate criminal violations committed by guards in solitary confinement. Dallas prison lawsuit was printed in “Wilkes-Barre Times Leader” newspaper on June 17, 2010. On June 19th, 2010, the District Attorney’s office sent SCI Dallas a letter to investigate the assault claims of the lawsuit against Dallas and Luzerne prosecutors. June 2010, Dallas prison appointed Lieutenant John Martin to investigate claims within the lawsuit, and in the process of Martin being appointed to investigate the lawsuit, Lieutenant Martin sent reports of April 29th, 2010 to state trooper C.J. Wilson and in turn fabricated riot charges. State police and the district attorney waited until Judge Wetzel denied injunction on civil action in July 2010 and immediately fabricated “riot” and “aggravated harassment” charges. In April 2010 there was no mention of a riot at Dallas prison in any of the prison reports, however after civil and criminal complaints were filed against them they retaliated and changed the incident into a “riot.” Lieutenant John Martin knew there was no riot, so he waited until a lawsuit and criminal complaint was filed against Dallas and sent reports to state police and the district attorney. In early August of 2010, the Human Rights Coalition released a report about the incident, describing a protest and bloody assaults by guards. On August 2nd, 2010 Human Rights Coalition attended a House Judiciary Committee hearing on solitary confinement and mentioned the reports of cruel treatment at Dallas prison involving the Dallas 6. On August 18th, 2010, Judge Tupper sent Dallas 6 riot charges by registered mail. The Dallas 6 were not read their Miranda rights and furthermore the complaints did not mention who was allegedly “assaulted” or “harassed” in this incident, even though one of the Dallas 6 was charged with assaulting six officers whose names are not mentioned in the complaint or affidavit of probable cause. Without being arraigned or given minimum disclosure of the witnesses or victims in this case, the Dallas 6 were taken to two separate preliminary hearings and denied the right to call “witnesses” on their behalf (September and November 2010). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had 180 days to bring each defendant to trial. The Commonwealth claims to have initiated these charges in July 2010. This would mean the Commonwealth had until January 2011 to bring each defendant to trial, at the very latest February 2011. President Judge Thomas F. Burke has been notified of all violations mentioned herein and has not acted to correct these violations of law. As President Judge, per PA Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 116, Judge Burke has the authority and the duty to bring his judicial district officers in compliance with the law. It is a legal maxim that he who condones a bad act conditions it. Here we are nearly 4 years later and the court, DOC and state police are still pressing on with a case illegally and without regard to the law or proper criminal procedures. Even though the Kid for Cash Scandal has come to an end, the corruption in Luzerne County remains. The defendants are acting above the law and should be properly reprimanded. Luzerne county courts, the state police and the DOC should be on trial, not the Dallas 6.

  • freedom
    historic examples of police brutality and the fact that anyone in america can fall victim to the unjust horrors of the prison industrial complex make changes to the status quo inevitable. these changes won't result from those people benefiting from the system but the victims. the time is now to advocate for freedom and not passively stand aside, indifferent, while many of our fellow americans are abused by unjust men who abuse authority we trusted in their hands.

  • Schenectady man highly over sentenced for a crime...must read
    Lawrence's sentence was way to much and it needs to be looked into. There were many "behind the scene" issues that were not brought to the publics knowledge. Again the connections the victim had. The judge even stated to Lawrence "this is a excessive sentence, but were going to give it to you anyways". One of his codefendents is on his third felony and again will be walking the streets before Lawrence. Lawrence was promised the world and than given two weeks to decide on a 15 year sentence. Again, nobody hurt, nobody injured, no fire, no previous record, worked hard to com home on bail and did just that. His sentence was wrong, it needs to be looked into further or reduced greatly. He has much support, everyone that knows him knows the amazing person he is. We will support and fight this.
