Sitting in Volusia County Courthouse in Daytona, Florida
after listening to the public defender offer two years probation as a plea
bargain presented by the DA. The threat
of using a juvenile record to link another crime makes it easier for everyone,
except the innocent accused of the crime. The police who target, the public defender who
is so backlogged in cases he is lucky if he remembers the name let alone any
information regarding the case. Now the
victim has moved and the State will have to fly him back in for the trial. Who is ready for trial or is everyone
continued so the wave will crash in the future?
A prisoner speaks up as to his lack of representation by the
public defender. The Judge was getting
upset as to the options, self representation, use the public defender given to
him, or continue for more time. Pushed
to continue by his jeering public defender, the man is continuing to bank roll
the jail a little longer. The deputy
reprimands a prisoner looking into the public seating, the defendants awaiting
their fate, the victim ready to testify.
The jesting matches of Justice, whose sharpest tongue is the
sword of choice, the letter of the Law applied by those who memorize common
statues and tortes. Processing like
cattle in a stockyard each to a different pen. Most being sent out to fatten some more,
hopefully another charge is acquired and the plot thickens. The poor, ignorant,
and trusting people who believed there was Justice served in court. Instead they are lambs led to slaughter,
processed into a system that is run by the wolves, licking their chops at the
innocence of new stock. Not knowing
their Civil rights and the devious actions that are used in prosecuting the
innocent. The majority looked like they
had no home to keep themselves let alone the retirement for the criminal
justice system that eats high on the hog of the poor.
Heaven forbid the Cannabis charge carries more time then
grand theft auto. Hearing that over the disrespectful
Assistant District Attorneys sitting in a group in the jury box, talking over
the people in the court room, like a reunion catching up with each other’s
lives. How can anyone hear the
seriousness of the Judge trying to do a good job preventing the travesty of
innocent guilt?
Another prisoner speaks up regarding evidence the public
defender will not present for the plaintiff that would result in a
dismissal. The arrogant attitude of the
public defender controlling the lives of people is overwhelming. A deputy asserting his authority to the people
sitting, pointing his finger to someone who had quietly communicated to a
prisoner loudly ejected her from the courtroom. Then denied the prisoner his day in
court. If they did not show support
would seem more the criminal act.
Sober, mentally alert, competent to make a decision in the
sentencing, or do they just want to hurry the process along so they would not have
to waste another day, waiting in the cattle line for processing.
Sitting in court I see more injustice then justice. This
free attorney appointed for your defense is nothing short of a railroad into
the prison system. They play with
peoples lives like they do not care, the puppets on a string dancing merrily
along for the paycheck. Officers getting
ready to pounce on the prisoner speaking, his paperwork not catching up, lost
in the system. What system, other than a system of revenue to profit off the
disease and decay in Society. I see no justice being served.
After speaking with the public defender who suggested an
unreasonable plea bargain we requested he asked for dismissal due to prejudiced
evidence with malicious prosecution. The
State’s witness had not complied with the requested deposition and moved out of
State. Instead the public defender
requested another continuance. Isn’t he supposed
to represent the good of his client? To
disregard requested actions and seek further delay shows adequate cause to back
up in the system. How many innocent pleas just to get the charges over with or
get sentenced for crimes they do not commit? Why do we have a criminal justice
system? It is not for the profit,
because crime does not pay.
