Today’s Legal Thoughts…

I happen to agree with the “Got Milk” esq poster in black and white that adorns my Lawyers office that reads “Abolish The Death Penalty”. I’d also like to see the moronic Three Strike Law abolished. As all Laws are over used, miss used and plagued with human error… Sending a human being to a box for life at a cost of over $55k a year to you and me for a graham of narcotics on a 3rd strike case for substance USAGE is beyond my ability to comprehend…

When did substance USAGE become a “violent crime”? This is without a doubt the most violent form of Civil Rights violations being perpetrated upon those that are the have not’s in our society, as well as an obvious appropriation of CA State tax revenue. Can you imagine what our state society would be like if each of the inmates rolled up for life for usage were given $55k a year and housing?

No wonder Socialism is taking hold. We have bureaucratic and legal socialism cloaking itself as capitalism today and somehow they are getting away with it. It’s the same reason, the power/greed reason, that the Org’s like MADD and Roe v Wade figureheads now are against the movements they created…

The Santa Clara Innocence Project… Why don’t we ask these innocent folks how they enjoyed California State run (Anything) Much Less Health Care?

Mashelle Bullington
Wrongfully incarcerated for nearly four years
Thirteen years later, name and conviction record finally cleared

In 1995, Mashelle Bullington was wrongfully convicted of using a firearm in the commission of an auto burglary (called a personal use gun enhancement). She was pulled from her life and two small children and imprisoned for nearly four years. Ms. Bullington completed her prison term in 1998. In the years since, she has reunited with her children and built a successful career as a project manager for a Silicon Valley technology support company. Yet, despite her success, she continued to be plagued by the horror of that experience and the stigma of a violent felony conviction on her record.

Through the work of Deputy District Attorney David Angel of the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, and District Attorney Investigator David Hendrickson, it was uncovered that the victim in the case had either been seriously mistaken or had outright lied about the firearm. On November 20, 2008, NCIP attorney Kathryn (Katie) Ross, in collaboration with the Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney, petitioned to have Ms. Bullington’s gun enhancement vacated based on the newly discovered evidence. Judge Douglas Southard of the Santa Clara County Superior Court granted the petition, vacated the gun enhancement, and reduced the case to a misdemeanor. A decade after she was released from prison for a crime she did not commit, Ms. Bullington’s name was finally cleared.

NCIP wishes to salute the Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney, particularly David Angel and David Hendrickson, for all of their work on Ms. Bullington’s case.

Albert Johnson
Wrongfully incarcerated for over 11 years

Albert Johnson was arrested in 1992 for two rapes. From the moment of his arrest, Johnson maintained his innocence and requested DNA testing to prove it. Even though it was available and police had obtained rape kits, neither the prosecution nor Mr. Johnson’s attorney sought DNA testing. Finally in 2001, in response to Mr. Johnson’s motion under the new post-conviction DNA testing law, the court ordered testing. Those tests revealed that Mr. Johnson could not have been the perpetrator of one of the rapes, and the court reversed that conviction. A search of the DNA database identified that actual rapist, but he remains free because the statute of limitations has run so he can no longer be prosecuted.

Four days after Mr. Johnson’s release from prison, police re-arrested him, claiming he had to serve time for a one-year prison infraction for being caught with a knife in his prison cell. NCIP swiftly obtained Mr. Johnson’s exoneration for that conviction where prison documents revealed that Mr. Johnson had been wrongly held responsible because the weapon that was planted by a white supremacist gang.

Though Mr. Johnson has been exonerated of two crimes, he is precluded from proving his innocence in the other rape because prosecutors claim that the evidence has been destroyed.

Kenneth Foley
Wrongfully incarcerated for 12 years

On March 9, 1995, Foley and his co-defendant were charged with burglary with an arming allegation. During the trial the actual perpetrator testified that he was responsible for the crime and continued to take the blame for years. However, the jury chose not to believe him. After re-investigating Mr. Foley’s case, the Santa Clara County District Attorney recommended Mr. Foley’s sentence be recalled and later filed a Motion to Dismiss Priors. NCIP filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus seeking reversal of Mr. Foley’s burglary conviction. The court reversed Mr. Foley’s burglary conviction as NCIP had requested, struck all but one prior, and released Mr. Foley on his own recognizance. With the assistance of the law firm of Howard Rice Nemerovski Canady Falk & Rabkin, NCIP is currently seeking compensation for Mr. Foley under Penal Code section 4900 et seq., which provides wrongfully convicted individuals $100 per day for each day of wrongful imprisonment.

Armando Ortiz
Wrongfully incarcerated for nearly six years

Armando Ortiz, age 16 at the time of his arrest for a double murder, was represented by a juvenile court attorney who discovered nine alibi witnesses who placed him at a party at the time of the murders. When Mr. Ortiz’s case was transferred to adult court, Mr. Ortiz was appointed a new attorney, Ernest Kinney, who ignored the overwhelming alibi evidence and put on virtually no defense. Though no physical evidence tied Mr. Ortiz to the murder scene and the circumstantial evidence was weak, a jury convicted Mr. Ortiz of the murders as well as two related robberies and an unrelated assault, and he was sentenced to two terms of life in prison. Appellate attorneys Cliff Gardner and Lazuli Whit, who had worked extensively on Mr. Ortiz’s behalf, referred his case to NCIP. NCIP attorneys and students convinced a judge to overturn his murder and robbery convictions based on ineffective assistance of counsel. The Innocence Project continues to pursue relief for Mr. Ortiz on the assault charge so that one day Mr. Ortiz may be free. The two murderers of the victims in this case remain unidentified.

Ron Reno
Wrongfully incarcerated for almost six years

Ron Reno was convicted of gun possession in 1997. When police arrested him he insisted that he knew nothing about the gun and that police should look for a man named Marsh. Mr. Reno maintained that Marsh had hidden the gun in a boot box. Neither police nor Mr. Reno’s own attorney made any effort to find Marsh. Mr. Reno was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life under California’s Three Strikes law. Several years into his sentence he encountered Mr. Marsh in prison, who freely admitted that the gun was his. Mr. Marsh felt it grossly unfair that Reno should be serving a life sentence for something he didn’t do, so he provided a declaration and met with the district attorney, reiterating that he had hidden the gun in the boot box without Mr. Reno’s knowledge. NCIP filed a writ of habeas corpus arguing that this new evidence proved Mr. Reno’s innocence and subsequently negotiated his release with the DA’s office.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
Wrongfully incarcerated for over five years

In 2002 Jeffrey Rodriguez was arrested for robbing an employee of Kragen’s Auto Supply in the loading dock of the store. Mr. Rodriguez’s first jury trial hung 11-1 in favor of acquittal; on retrial, the victim’s identification changed drastically and the prosecution used questionable physical evidence tied with expert testimony to place Mr. Rodriguez at the scene of the crime. The jury convicted him, and he was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment. On appeal, Mr. Rodriguez’s conviction was overturned. NCIP student Curtis Macon assisted Santa Clara County Deputy Public Defender Andy Gutierrez in discovering new evidence that led to the dismissal of all charges against Mr. Rodriguez prior to his third trial. After serving over five years in prison for the crime, Mr. Rodriguez was released in 2007. The real perpetrator of the crime has yet to be identified. As in Mr. Foley’s case, NCIP is seeking compensation from the State for Mr. Rodriguez’s wrongful incarceration.

Peter Rose
Wrongfully incarcerated for nearly 10 years

In 1994, Peter Rose was arrested for the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl who had been badgered by police to name someone as her assailant. She told law enforcement officers she could not identify the perpetrator. Following a coercive three-hour interrogation, the girl tentatively identified Mr. Rose as her rapist. When NCIP’s now-defunct Golden Gate University office began working on Mr. Rose’s case, officials maintained that all evidence had been destroyed. Students found one remaining piece of evidence at the lab that had originally conducted blood typing on the evidence and filed a motion for DNA testing. The DNA testing conclusively demonstrated that Mr. Rose was not the rapist. Mr. Rose’s conviction was reversed and he was released from prison. With the help of the law firm of Morrison & Foerster, Mr. Rose received over $300,000 after filing a compensation claim with the State Board of Control for his wrongful conviction. The real perpetrator of the rape has still not been identified.

John Stoll
Wrongfully incarcerated for nearly 20 years

John Stoll’s case grew out of the 1980s child molestation hysteria that led to the convictions of scores of innocent people in Bakersfield, California, and other communities throughout the country. His 1985 conviction was based solely on the testimony of children who had been subjected to coercive interviewing techniques by Kern County social workers, sheriff’s officers, and other county authorities. Officials pressured six young children into falsely testifying they were sexually abused by Mr. Stoll and three other adults. No physical evidence corroborated their testimony. A jury convicted Mr. Stoll of 17 counts of child molestation, and the court sentenced him to 40 years in prison.

In 2002, NCIP and co-counsel California Innocence Project filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Mr. Stoll. Following full briefing, the Kern County Superior Court ordered an evidentiary hearing be held. During the hearing five of six former child witnesses recanted their testimony. The court found that Kern County had obtained Mr. Stoll’s convictions in violation of his constitutional right to due process because they were based on unreliable testimony procured by county employees’ improper interviewing techniques. This district attorney’s office admitted it could not retry him and dropped all charges. Subsequently, NCIP filed a compensation claim on behalf of Mr. Stoll, and the State of California awarded him over $700,000 for his wrongful conviction. The two California Innocence Projects, along with several civil rights attorneys, have filed a federal civil rights suit against Kern County and the others responsible for imprisoning Mr. Stoll. That suit is now pending.

The Obama Budget

November 9, 2009

Due To The Arrogance Of Government To Spend What It Does Not Have…

There are three ways we can deal with paying for all of these programs and the National debt that is now being piled up on top of the two failed and broken socialist plans we already have in place. That is if we are concerned with avoiding the bankrupting of America and the world.

OPTIONS:

1. Renegotiate the loans

2. Do nothing

3. Go to war

My prediction is that within the next 5 years we will be in a major World War…

Americans Are Stupid, Greedy and Lazy Fools…

And I’m talking about you, not the rich bankers. You Mr and Mrs. average  American should be rioting in the streets. Military gurds should be needed at those homes of representitives that voted to suck all the remaining life out of America.

 

I will inform my employees today that it’s looking more and more like I will be forced to cut their wages soon. This will come as a big surprise to them all. A surprise because the decision for health care was already decided at our Company. Early last year I ended our Blue Cross coverage because it was either health care for a month or two and then bankruptcy or, having the freedom of choice to end coverage for a month or six until we get stronger and then get back on the system.

 

Now that we live in a socialist country where the business owner is unimportant and the focus is on the importance of Government and what it can con it’s people into believing.  How is a company like mine, a struggling one, going to pay the penalties for not paying into the HC system? As it will cost another $4,000.00 a month  that we do not have. Yep, you guessed it, out of the workers salaries it will come… and this is just the start.

Question: Did anyone take into account the loss of revenue that was once generated by way of taxes and paid to the Government by insurance and medical revenues?

Fire Mark G. Yudof & The University of California Staff NOW (Part #3)

As if it were not bad enough in California I stumbled across this beauty this evening. My calling for the resignation and/or firing of Mark G. Yudof, the head of  The University of California school system. While under his leadership the UC system overspent to the tune of $800,000,000.00 essencially bankrupting the School system.

It caught my attention because Mr. Yudof was complaining that he did not receive enough Government funds (Tax revenue) to operate the school system. Long story short, Yudof, through the years leading up to this recession spent budget after budget in whole thinking that money grew on trees.

But now I see it in a  more sinister. Now the depth of their depravity, the Socialist mindset wherein spend all you want, no matter if it achieves a goal, just spend… …and that’s how the Socialist would have you believe children learn. By passionate fundraisers, not skilled faculty. For no matter what method of teaching the Socialist employs, it’s the money that is always the factor.

Then I cannot think of one aspect more imperative to the learning of a College student in the CA UC system than the grotesque and vile practice it is for the UC system to land in the number one position of donors to the Barack Obama Campaign…

University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
Citigroup Inc $701,290
JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132
Time Warner $590,084
Sidley Austin LLP $588,598
Stanford University $586,557
National Amusements Inc $551,683
UBS AG $543,219
Wilmerhale Llp $542,618
Skadden, Arps et al $530,839
IBM Corp $528,822
Columbia University $528,302
Morgan Stanley $514,881
General Electric $499,130
US Government $494,820

So this winter when we hear of all the pay cuts in teaching, how oh so woe is me… Rememberthat they need to “Believe” in “Him” (Barack Hussein Obama). To contribute to “Change” they need to sacrifice because the savior is coming! Hell, they were only doing what their leader had done. For it is better to feed the political rhetoric and party line, thus feeding the “Great Black One”, our Narcissist-In-Chief Barack Hussein Obama’s crooked campaign.  Rather than to feed themselves.

This is the Socialist, the Liberals CRISIS. Not the torpedoing of the housing market by means of bullying local Banks to loosen guideline and start printing bad loans (sub prime)… Now, and mark my words, we are going to be subsidizing the “private” contributions given to Barack Obama’s campaign via the employees/staff of the UC California system, with a Federal pay raise in the midst of this Obama recession… Watch Socialism adhere to truth and reality. It’s awesome.

PS: Is that not an amazing figure? Goldman Sachs paying less than a national add campaign’s figure to get the AIG/Sachs’s insurance payout bought and paid for…

Goldman Sachs $994,795

Smell That? Ahh… Now That’s What Barack’s Been Cooking…

Do we need to say “We told ya so?” No, because you all know that life brakes down this way;

Big Government = Bad for America

Less Government Control of your money = More money for you.

Now the inherant reason that we, as rich elitist’s do not use the Government as our Concerge service that we outsource all of our life to just to make it easy on ourselves is because we fought a bitter battle to end slavery. Putting our neighbor into Governmental slavery is What? A very bad thing to do…

Martial Law, Conservitive “Right Wing”’s a Flapping

Horrible Films About the Truth..

September 23, 2009

The All-New Conservative Liberal Party; We tell you yes to everything

In my scouring the internet for modern day Conservative groups that are carrying on the values of Conservatism in this very greed-filled progressive age. The first website to hit at the top time and time again was the New York State Conservative Party. The page that I landed upon I’ve copied over and reposted it listed below.
On the surface it may be so obvious that as a sign of our times it’s missed. The New World Order if you will, backwards. Again my search was to find one conservative organization that was forwarding the ideals of fundamental conservatism… Just one ideal and it could be just simply “to conserve”.
No, what I find now instead is the New York “Conservatives” bitching about tax revenue and ways to help build up that Government… What in the Hell are you people thinking of backing additional “revenue” for Government? These guys are the new- Conservative Liberal Party, Progressives dressed in Republican Red. “SHAME”.
So you read it and figure out how they came to killing these pieces of parchment called the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We wanted to be nice to them and no one stood up against them. Too bad, I am:
This organization is a SHAM. They Assimilate and appease and in doing so they are giving the farm away. Someday everyone is going to be sitting here under Martial Law with everyone yelling terrorism this and terrorism that. What is without a doubt a terrorist act, is President Barack Obama and his Staff threatening “Martial Law” should the TARP funds Bill not pass. His further neglecting to reinstate a single American Right that Bush tore down and that Obama vowed to reinstate is proof that Obama is Bush…
Not a single Executive Order repealing the Bush atrocities… He has just one Order that says he will look at the order in a year and condemns the previous Orders… But does nothing about them. “Change” is what happened to Obama.

Legislative Alert

Uncollected Tax Dollars

January 15, 2008

We thought you would be interested in the following letter that has been sent to the members of the Legislature by Mr. Arthur H. Katz, Executive Director of the NYS Wholesale Marketers and Distributors.

January 10, 2008

Dear Legislative Member:

SHAME

Why do we continue to permit annual sales of 400 million packs of untaxed cigarettes to Indian sellers when it is known that illicit reselling is funding terrorism?

In America, our greatest triumph is adherence to the rule of law. Where laws end, terrorism begins. In 1994, the United States Supreme Court ruled (in Attea v. New York State) that New York was within its right to tax all cigarette sales to non-tribal members. Yet in the twelve years since that ruling the Pataki administration did not attempt to apply the law to a single Native American sale. Therefore, lacking accountability, these untaxed sales have reached an astounding 40 million cartons annually with lost revenue to New York State of $20 million per week or one billion dollars per year.

*It should be noted, since our first letter dated August 6, 2007, New York State has lost an additional $440 million in revenue, why?

Shame:Major illegal profits from these sales are funding terrorism while the New York State treasury is robbed!

The connection between Native American untaxed cigarette distribution and the funding of terrorism is well established and documented by New York and Federal agencies, public officials and numerous criminal court cases. Among some recent examples:

New York City 11/03/2007,  Rep. Anthony Weiner and state senator Jeff Klein, in calling for a congressional investigation and putting additional teeth in existing federal laws , issued a press release that documented several recent government cases which uncovered the funding of Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. They also quoted public officials who have stated that illegal cigarette profits have become one of the leading sources of domestic terrorist funding. ATF agent Patrick Awe, who testified before the US Senate, stated “… the link to terrorism has been established”.

v      Cattaraugus Indian Reservation 09/20/2006, Karim H. Nassar from Canada pleads guilty to smuggling $500,000 of cigarettes off the reservation for general market consumption and sending profits to Hezbollah guerillas.

v      Dearborn, 05/29/05, nineteen men are federally indicted for a smuggling operation that evaded “tens of millions in state cigarette taxes” by purchasing truck loads of untaxed product from a Western New York State Indian Reservation and reselling in New York and Michigan. The profits were funneled to Hezbollah.

v      The New York State Tax Enforcement Group arrested a couple in Brooklyn who were part of a group of 200 terrorists smuggling and reselling into New York City.

v      Police commissioner, Ray Kelly in a speech before the United Nations, states that the smuggling of cigarettes is the leading means of funding forterrorist organizations.

v      New York Post 10/16/07 State Senator Martin Golden who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, states that “ATF has opened hundreds of illicit cigarette trafficking cases; … [having] links to extremist groups such as al Qaeda … He adds that ATF senior intelligence analyst William Billingslea wrote in the Police Chief Magazine that, “Because of the immense profit, illicit cigarette trafficking now rivals drugs as the method of choice to fill the bank accounts of terrorist groups.” Golden goes on to say,   “The solution is simple. Both federal and state laws are already in place, and the courts have reaffirmed their constitutionality. What we need now is a governor with the guts to enforce them. The result of not enforcing the law has transcended the issue of Native American sovereignty into an issue of national security.”

Shame:  Why has leadership not acted to enforce the law and protect public safety?

v      Newsday 11/06/2007, “Trial of smoke-shop millionaire set to begin”.  In a criminal case heard before the Eastern District Court, RodneyMorrison a Costa Rican, who is an “Indian” through marriage, has offered to put up $56 million cash for bail. This criminal case involves massive amounts of cigarettes that were sold tax free to and from an Indian reservation.It certainly should not surprise anyone that the purchase of tens of thousands of cartons of cigarettes from just one of these Indian stores is not for personal consumption. The Distributor who supplies the “store” should know that those cartons cannot be consumed legally without taxation. The manufacturers who supply the distributors receive a mandatory report each week that states how many cartons go towhom, and yet continue to allocate and sell this product. These outlets are the major source of counterfeit and untaxed cigarettes sold in high taxed localities (NY) to complicit stores and street merchants.

Shame:  Manufacturers who are allocating and their distributors who are selling should have knowledge of the laws requirements.

On April 12, 2005 legislation was passed that required the collection of taxes on all Indian sales of cigarettes, motor fuel and other products to non-Indian New Yorkers starting 3/1/06 (without exception) and was signed into law the next day.  It was with both courage and conviction that Sheldon Silver and Joseph Bruno led the legislature to overturn Pataki’s ill-advised veto, demonstrating their understanding of the urgency for stopping this outflow. The methodology of tax stamping of all cigarettes and the issuance of “exemption coupons” to tribal members was conceived 12 years ago and favorably ruled upon by the US Supreme Court.

Shame: NYS State government still continues to invent ingeniousexcuses for non-enforcement.

During his final year in office, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, in various correspondences, made it crystal clear that current law prohibited the shipping of untaxed cigarettes within New York. And further, that manufacturers, truckers, distributors and Indian traders who aided and abetted or criminally facilitated these shipments would be guilty of crimes against the State. Recently, Attorney General Cuomo, under an order from the Federal Eastern District Court, testified that the state’s policy of forbearance (i.e. non-enforcement) was not a valid defense for the causing to be sold or the causing to be shipped of untaxed cigarettes for resale to non-tribal members. In another criminal case heard before the Eastern District Court; Judge Hurley ruled that there was knowledge of the illegal use and therefore criminal aiding and abetting.

Shame:  As yet, there is no State enforcement and criminals and terrorists continue to grow rich.

The Math:

From 1996 – 2006 there was a recorded twenty percent reduction in the national

cigarettes sales (excluding New York State).

In 1996 New York State Taxes were paid on 127 Million Cartons Sold.

In 2006 New York True Consumption should have fallen to 102 Million Cartons 

Actual 2006 New York State Legal cartons sold amounted to only 62 million!

That equals a loss of 40 million cartons sold in 2006!!

Shame:

A $Billion give away of our taxes!

It is patently absurd to argue that Native American sovereignty can only be preserved by allowing them unregulated access to FORTY MILLION cartons of untaxed cigarettes annually. This would amount to a staggering EIGHT BILLION cigarettes smoked per year by 2,500 adult Native American smokers in New York.

Shame: Let us not fall asleep at the switch again!  Solution: Tax Stamp all cigarettes!

Summary of some Applicable Laws that may be violated are:

The Jenkins Act; The Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act 18 U.S.C.Sec.2342; New York Public Health Law1399II; NYS Tax Law, Article 20, Sec. 471E; Criminal Facilitation, Article 115 NYS Penal Law; provisions under The National Security Act.

Whyhave we suffered 12 years of non compliance and the feeding of terrorists? Why have the cigarette manufactures continued to allocate millions of cartons of cigarettes to Indian sellers knowing exactly what is being shipped to each Indian store?  Why has Albany not exercised its duty to protect its citizens by simply upholding the law?Why have these complicit venders been permitted to become the leading source of untaxed cigarettes sold in the 50 states? It certainly cannot be up to Native Americans, manufactures, or recalcitrant Public Officials to dictate the terms of our safety. Our Supreme Court has already spoken. Now our elected officials must act by recognizing that where law dies, terrorism lives.

Shame:  The failure of Government and manufacturers to act in these past twelve years is a classic case of politics and greed vs. country!

Sincerely,

Arthur H. Katz

Executive Director
