ANOTHER DUKE UNIVERSITY HORROR IN LOUISIANA PRESIDENT OBAMA ....
Primary tabs
PAT ROBERTSON, HAS THE LORD GIVEN CHIEF JUSTICE EDWARD DUFRESNE JR + THE STATE OF LOUISIANA A WAKE`UP CALL 4 YEARS OF MISTREATING HIS POOR ???
MAYBE WHY EDWARD DUFRESNE JR IS STILL A CHIEF JUSTICE IN LOUISIANA IS ONLY BECAUSE HIS CRIMINAL ACTS WERE INFLICTED ON POOR AMERICANS
PRESIDENT OBAMA ???
*** OUR GREAT COUNTRY IS SOMEHOW STILL ALLOWING CHIEF JUSTICE EDWARD DUFRESNE JR OF THE LOUISIANA STATE APPEALS COURT 2 JUDGE OTHERS IN AMERICA ???
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FORMER CHARGED CRIMINAL NAMED GIDEON FROM FLORIDA IN 1963 ENABLED ALL OF OUR AMERICAN POOR THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE PROPER LEGAL REPRESENTATION AFFORDED THEM IN OUR U.S.CRIMINAL COURTS NATION~WIDE BY THE LEGAL VICTORY WITH HIS FEDERAL APPEAL CASE IN OUR U.S.SUPREME COURT.
*** THESE REPORTED ON CRIMINAL ACTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE U.S. 5TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS IN LOUISIANA AGAINST 2,500 POOR AMERICANS SHOULD BE THE NEEDED PROOF TO ANY SANE AMERICAN THAT ANOTHER GIDEON ALSO NEEDS TO BE AFFORDED BY OUR U.S. CONGRESS OR U.S. SUPREME COURT TO ALL OUR POORER AMERICANS FOR THEIR STATE & U.S. FEDERAL RE~TRIAL APPEALS !!
THE CURRENT FACADE OF FORCING INNOCENT POOR GED EDUCATED PRISON INMATES TO ATTEMPT TO GAIN NEW RETRIALS THEMSELVES FROM THEIR PRISONS NATION~WIDE WITH OUR U.S.FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS NEEDS A 2010 REALITY CHECK !
EVERYONE HONEST & EVEN DISHONEST IN OUR AMERICAN FEDERAL APPEAL AND VARIOUS STATE APPEAL JUDICIAL PROCESS KNOWS THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR CURRENT 100,000 INNOCENT POOR THAT ARE CURRENTLY TRAPPED IN OUR U.S.PRISONS WITH REAL CRIMINALS HAVING 0 CHANCES OF EVER RECEIVING ANY JUSTICE ( BEING SET FREE ) WITHOUT PROPER LEGAL REPRESENTATION BEING AFFORDED THEM ....
ARE OTHER AMERICAN FEDERAL APPEAL JUDGES AND STATE APPEAL JUDGES ( LIKE CHIEF JUSTICE EDWARD DUFRESNE OF LOUISIANA) NATIONWIDE ALSO DENYING POOR INNOCENT PRISON INMATES NEW RE-TRIALS ( WITHOUT EVEN VIEWING THE APPEALS) BECAUSE THESE POOR FOLKS CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO PROPERLY FORMULATE THEIR FEDERAL & STATE RE~TRIAL APPEAL LEGAL CASES ???
PRESIDENT OBAMA, DENYING OUR INNOCENT POOR IN U.S. PRISONS THEIR POSSIBLE FREEDOMS ARE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ISSUES THAT NEED CHANGE !!!
IF THESE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY BEING INFLICTED ON THE POSSIBLE INNOCENT IN OUR U.S. PRISONS IN LOUISIANA ARE NOT CORRECTED PRESIDENT OBAMA ~ THEN WHAT IS TO BE WITH THE OTHER VARIOUS U.S. STATES ALLOWING THESE SAME EXACT INJUSTICES TO BE INFLICTED ON THE INNOCENT POOR IN THEIR PRISONS ???
POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS BEING INFLICTED ON ONLY POOR AMERICANS NATION~WIDE (TROY DAVIS OF GEORGIA, MUMIA ABU~JAMAL OF PENNSYLVANIA ) , FALSE IMPRISONMENT FOR AN ESTIMATED 100,000 INNOCENT POOR AMERICANS WHO OBVIOUSLY WERE NEVER AFFORDED A PROPER LEGAL OR INVESTIGATIVE DEFENSE AND NOW THE HORROR OF OUR JUSTICES TO DENY NEW TRIALS IN LOUISIANA. WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THEIR APPEALS ???
WILL THIS DEMOCRATIC US CONGRESS INVESTIGATE AND CHANGE THESE JUDICIAL INJUSTICES BEING INFLICTED ON OUR POORER AMERICAN’S ???
THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF OUR UNDERFUNDED JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT NEEDS…C*H*A*N*G*E…….
THIS HORROR HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A TRUE EVENT AFFECTING THE ENSLAVEMENT OF OUR POORER INNOCENT AMERICAN’S, & ALL OF AMERICA NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THIS SAME EXACT TREATMENT NATION~WIDE OF OUR POORER INNOCENT CITIZENS NEEDS A FORMAL US CONGRESSIONAL, U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND WORLD COURT INVESTIGATION !!!

I’m a little late on writing about this story (via several sources), but it sure is a doozy.
You know how it’s common knowlege that most appeals aren’t successful? Well, if you were a pro-se petitioner in Louisiana for the last 13 years, you knew that you wouldn’t win. Why is that? Because the Chief Judge of their Court of Appeals directed his clerk to summarily deny all appeals from pro-se petitioners without circulating the appeal to other judges.
The clerk, ridden with guilt, committed suicide earlier this year and left a note confessing everything.
This immoral and apparently illegal policy was in place until Jerrold Peterson, the staffer charged with implementing it, blew his brains out in May of last year. Peterson was driven to it in part, his suicide note suggested, by guilt over the nefarious tasks the judges made him perform.
In his note Peterson explained how the court gave indigent appellants the bum’s rush.
Although every criminal writ application is supposed to be reviewed by three judges, he was deputed to winnow out any that had been filed pro se and arrange for their automatic rejection.
Thus were an estimated 2,500 appeals deep-sixed without any judicial consideration whatsoever.
Now, facing public embarassment and possible ethical violations, the Louisiana Supreme Court has stepped in and asked…get this…the same appellate court to look at the appeals again. Note that they did not ask the Court to conduct an investigation into this practice, but simply to consider those appeals that were so summarily denied.
Because, if we placate the defendants with another cursory look at their appeals, we can sweep the ethical violations under the carpet.
At first this whole thing seemed rather odd to me. After all, how is this even possible? Here’s how:
Edward Dufresne, Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit, took charge of pro se appeals in 1994. He then had Peterson prepare rulings denying writs for all of them and signed off “without so much as a glance,†according to the suicide note. “No judge ever saw the writ application before the ruling was prepared by me,†Peterson wrote in a second suicide note to the Judiciary Commission.
The rulings also bore the names, though not the signatures, of judges Marion Edwards and Wally Rothschild. Neither Edwards nor Rothschild had any clue as to what was in the applications, or even knew that they had been filed, according to Peterson.
So you’ve got one complicit judge and maybe three. But there are 5 more on that court. What of them? Are we to really believe that these 5 (or 7) other judges never once questioned the stark absence of pro-se appeals? Particularly in Louisiana, whose system has the following characteristics:
About 90 percent of criminal defendants in Louisiana are indigent.
Louisiana only provides post-conviction legal aid in death penalty cases. Everyone else must either hire a lawyer, find a lawyer to handle their case pro bono, or handle the appeal themselves. Obviously, most have no choice but to opt for the latter.
One criminal defense lawyer in Louisiana told me that if you’re convicted of murder in Louisiana and you’re innocent, you’re actually better off getting the death penalty. At least then you’ll get a team of lawyers, investigators, and experts to help with your appeal.
This from a state whose criminal justice system was already crumbling. It’s hard to believe that people such as Judge Dufresne take an oath to uphold the law and to prove equal protection under it. Disbarment may be enough, but only barely.
Justice delayed is no justice at all.
