a light in the tunnel

This blog is completely true and verifiable, but for the sake of confidentiality, I

will leave out the name of the person that I am going to write about. OK?

So four and a half years ago a person was found guilty of a horrible crime that the

person didn't commit.

This person was found guilty of touching a child in an indecent way. The lawyer that

represented this person, was a public defender.

Though, there may be good ones out there, this particular lawyer was a complete and

utter disgrace as a defense attorney. His job was to defend his innocent client,

(remember the right... presumed innocent until proven guilty, beyond a shadow of doubt)...

not to let said client get railroaded, thrown to the wolves, to be devoured by a

system that was put in place to protect the innocent and punish the guilty.

The lawyer allowed a miscarriage of justice to occur, and the prosecution got away

with murder. They were allowed to tell lies on the stand, change their victim's

testimony, even the victim's mother changed her story from one day in the trial to

the next, and present new evidence the day of the trial. The defense sat there

dumbfounded, with no objections, just a dirty and unkempt appearance.

The defense attorney never called the client's witnesses. He said the client wasn't

incarcerated so his case didn't take priority, even up to one business day before

the trial. He allowed the 600 rule to pass, uncontested and violated several of the

client's constitutional rights.

The spouse of the client went to the State Representative. He listened and back

then, but could do nothing to assist.

The couple followed all the advice that the lawyer had given them,and trusted him to

steer them in the right direction, to no avail.

The client was found guilty on three charges, and was later sentenced to serve jail

time, be on parole and then serve a period of 3 years probation, and be listed on

Megan's law for a period of ten years.

After four and a half years, the couple found a lawyer to help them with the appeal

process and he told them that because the public defender had handled the case the

way he did, the client would not be able to fight the injustice that had been thrown

in their direction....

Here's the light in the tunnel.. The spouse asked the new lawyer to write a letter stating that the client had been wrongfully convicted based on constitutional rights being infringed upon and literally compromised, ineffective counsel and other various reasons.The new lawyer did just that and in one paragraph of his letter, he wrote those very words.

There was a second lawyer that tried to help get an appeal for the innocent client, stating the prosecution didn't have enough evidence to bring the client to trial and that the state handled it wrong.

The former state representative declared it a "witch hunt" way back then and decided that he would write a letter for the client to help in any way he could.

The spouse was so elated. The spouse decided to write a letter to the mayor, state representative, attorney general, the governor, and the president of the United states of America.

A good many people thought that the client was guilty as charged. The spouse never gave up hope and knew of the client's complete innocence. They dealt with public humiliation, public disgrace, the client was banned from ever going to the church that the couple had attended for a couple of years, the paper printed terrible lies, (which people think is the gospel truth, though it is usually a pack of made up lies.) The spouse lost their lively hood that kept them off welfare. On and on the
list goes. Their lives could never return to normal.

So the spouse said the letters will get sent and if the higher ups can do something to help, that is what is wanted and if not well, at least let the world know that the client was wrongfully convicted

My own personal point of view: there are perverts out there that are harming children. They do need to be stopped and punished with great severity, and may I add, that if a person is a true sexual offender that person needs to be locked away and receive major counseling and not be released until the authorities are certain beyond a shadow of doubt that person is well again.

On the other hand, there are people that are accused of committing horrible crimes against a child and they are truly innocent. But the Word of a child is powerful. There are those people that think that a child cannot lie, however, we all know that is simply not true. If a child wants to, they can surely tell a whopper of a story and make you believe, it hook line and sinker.

I firmly believe that if a "victim" is found to be truthful and has truly been harmed, then by all means get that dirty scoundrel away from society and lock them up so that they cannot hurt another person ever again.

If the "victim" has no physical evidence and is proven to be a liar, that person needs help and fast, before they destroy a person's life, family, and reputation that has been spotless in the community. The "victim" should also have to pay restitution if they go to trial and are later found out to be liars.


I know that this blog is most likely offensive to some viewers and for that I apologize. However, I personally know of three different people who are sitting in jails today, that I feel the system has locked up without any evidence to support their case. ( I know a lot jailbirds say they are innocent... and some of them are.)

Thanks for reading and the next time you read something in the paper, realize that there are two sides to every story and sometimes you only get part of the story. Not everything the paper prints is the truth!
