Wrongful Convictions Blog 
I have accomplished a feat .. no one .. in the American judicial system has ever been able to accomplish before. Never.
I filed a PCR Petition, as crudely as it is, whereas, a Special Prosecutor could not nor did not deny even one of my claims of legal and constitutional violations, to wrongfully incarcerate me, therefore admitting to all. (Trial Rule 8)
Never in American history has any prosecutor admitted to what they have in my case. .. NEVER
NO attorney .. in American history .. none .. has ever accomplished this feat.
No TV program (48 Hours/Dateline/20/20) or any documentary focused on wrongful prosecutions/convictions has accomplished what I have .. none.
So, I must ask .. If I am unable to obtain justice .. or unable to obtain any help in obtaining justice .. who can
In the Netflix documentary “Making of a Murderer” .. which raised more questions than it answered.
These questions were put forth:
“The question of this series is not innocence or guilt. The question is, was this a fair process.”
“The filmmakers explain how you may not have as firm an understanding of justice as you think.”
———————————————–
Show one other case where a Special Prosecutor has admitted…ADMITTED to what they have in my case. Just one…there is none.
1. Invalid lesser included being determined for a self-defense case
2. Lack of evidence to file
3. Constitutionally mandated probable cause proceedings eliminated
4. Altered states evidence
5. Judge Webster lied to conspire to suppress a not guilty verdict
6. Double jeopardy
7.) Tainted improper voir dire.
8.) Exculpatory evidence withheld from the jury.
9.) Altering of 2005 trial transcript.
10.) Judge Jon Webster refused to recuse himself when asked.
11.) Failed to re-try in a timely manner.
12.) Ineffective assistance of counsel.
13.) Invalid aggravating sentencing factor(s).

Now show me one case where a Judge has refused to rule in a civil case (in favor of the Petitioner) after the Respondent has admitted to every allegation of wrongdoing / damages claimed … TWO (now 3) years after receiving the Respondent’s reply … but instead has asked the Petitioner to clarify the legal basis for the Petition … when they are clearly defined in the Petition and Addendums. Just one…there is none
The state could not deny therefore admitted to every averment presented.
1. Invalid lesser included being determined for a self-defense case:
Violates: Indiana Law: IC 35-41-3-2 Qualified immunity from legal jeopardy; Wright v. State, Macon v. State, Champlain v. State, Webb v. State, Loza v. State of IN; and French. 273 Ind. at 255. 403 N.E.2d at 824,”
(All of this was addressed in an Addendum filed with the Petition)
2. Lack of evidence to file
Lack of probable cause to initiate a criminal case: violates the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, IN state constitution and IC 35-33-7-2
3. Constitutionally mandated probable cause proceedings eliminated
Failure to hold a probable cause hearing violates; IC 35-33-7-3.5 and are Constitutionally mandated through: Gerstein v. Pugh and County of Riverside v. McLaughlin
4. Altered states evidence
The altering of states evidence is obstruction of justice and in violation of federal ‘color of law’ statutes.
5. Judge Webster lied to conspire to suppress a not guilty verdict
Since this is unheard of, I am sure it would constitute obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct
6. Double jeopardy
Violates the U.S. Constitution
7., 8., 9., are all acts of obstruction of justice

If I have a Special Prosecutor .. admitting to what they have and I am unable to get help .. how do people who must prove their innocence .. get help? I’ve already proved my innocence and can’t get help
“How is the criminal justice system functioning, is it delivering on it’s promises of truth and justice.” ?
What better case exemplifies just how flawed and corrupt it truly is?
After a Special Prosecutor…admitted…they wrongfully convicted an innocent man of an invalid charge, they improperly included…with NO probable cause to initiate the case, altered evidence, suppressed a jury’s NOT guilty verdict so they could violate the double jeopardy clause … another Special Judges refuses to overturn the conviction.
“How is the criminal justice system functioning, is it delivering on it’s promises of truth and justice.”
..you be the judge
