Just a quick note to give you the latest update on my
case. The judge heard oral argument on the motion to dismiss in the
furtherance of justice. This court proceeding went well, my lawyers did a
great job of spelling out why the case should be dismissed. The
judge reserved decision, but he did send my attorneys a letter out a few
days afterwards. A copy of this letter is attached for your information. Judge
Fiorella indcated that he would be out of town and did not have enough
time to produce the written decision before his departure. He went on to
state that based on his tentative decision there would be no need
for a trial. It's clear that Judge Fiorella was planning to
dismiss the case against me on October
16, 2012. We were instructed that he would issue a written
decision and order on the morning of October 16, 2012.
Yesterday October 16th, the Judge responded to a
motion put in by the DA, to reconsider his decision of dismissal in light of a
recent bogus arrest made on myself, and new pending charges. The judge reserved
decision again and has given my lawyers time to respond to this motion, and gave
time for the DA to respond to our response of their original motion to not
dismiss these charges. To note, if you have time to read the DA’s motion to see
it’s desperate attempt to paint me as a criminal and to pretend to have the
public’s interest in mind, while the whole time guzzling up tax payer money on
a politically motivated prosecution. Also to note in both alleged crimes, there
was no one harmed besides myself, no property, no person, nothing, not even
threatened, only the police were ones to use force and violence, and they of course
to date have not been held accountable, and the original charges stem from over
a Year and half ago! The next court date the judge will most likely give his
decision based on the new developments. Both the new arrest and the old case
are scheduled for November 15th, in City Court 50 Delaware at 9:30 in part 11, and at 2pm in part 6. Below is an explanation of the newest
charges. Thank you to all the supporters, friends and family!
Thursday, October 4, 2012, I was planning on
participating in a soccer game at 7:30pm
after having worked at the bookstore. I never made it to that soccer game
thanks to the Buffalo Police Department. I rushed out of the
bookstore to go home to grab my equipment and a sandwich. I parked right
in front of my house, on the right side of the street but in the wrong
direction. I have done this for years without a problem. I
am regularly unloading my vehicle or running into my house
to grab something then running off again. (Don’t worry I won’t be
anymore!) When I came back out there were no police officers, but there
was a box in the passenger side seat that I had to move to have enough room for
my friend who was going to the soccer game with me. I ran the box inside
into the house and less than a half minute later when I returned to
my vehicle there were two officers. Attached is a statement prepared
by the officers, which is not an accurate description of
events. Since the DA reads and tries to use everything I write or
speak on in the court against me, I will let just make use of the officers
statement. I was charged with OGA obstruction of governmental
administration. In addition, after being placed under arrest the police
found a pocket knife in my jacket pocket. I am now facing a
felony charge of criminal possession of a weapon because I have a prior
misdemeanor conviction. The police booked and processed and I was
required to spend a night in jail before I was arraigned before City Court
Judge Craig Hannah the following morning. My truck was impounded, even
though my father was there with keys to move it. The DA asked for $15,000
dollars bail for me, which my attorney, Daire Brian Irwin,
vigorously argued against. Fortunately, I was released without
bail and placed under supervision- probation every two weeks, I
cannot leave Erie County
without a permit. At a court appearance on October 10, 2012, we had on the new charges, the DA
asked for a month to investigate this new "crime." My lawyer
says such a move is seldomly asked for and it has these new charges looming
over head for the judges decision in my other case! At this case the DA
offered my lawyer to bargain, to take combined plea deal for both cases. No
thank you, both are garbage, and I will fight both. After that deal didn’t work
the DA filed a request of the court asking Judge Fiorella to reconsider
his decision to dismiss the charges because I parked the wrong way and I am
such a bad guy.
The entire amount of time from when I first talked with
the police to being arrested and being put in the back of the car was
brief. We did not get that on video, *a very important tip, when ever
you are in contact with the police begin taping immediately* Here I
have a video of friends and neighbors watching my truck be towed and me being
taken away and them trying to get some explanations as to why this is
happening, how this is protecting and serving the community? Just keep in
mind I was already arrested and in cuff’s in the back of this car when this
video was taken.

Things
I will say-
-This
pocket knife I had was a wedding present, which I received as being a
groomsman in the wedding of a childhood friend this past summer. My
name was actually engraved on the side of it.
-I
was respectful and cooperative during the entire incident and did not do
anything improper.
-I
was in front of my own home. The police knew this after I told
them and this fact was confirmed when I provided them with my drivers
license.
-The
knife is sold in New York State
freely and legally.
-Though
they searched for drugs and nothing was found. It should be noted
that I don’t drink or use drugs.
-That this was an unjustified
arrest and stop and frisk that is getting way out of control all over the USA.
-Why
is the DA so hellbent on trying my case, and now using this incident which is
ridiculous that should have no bearing of what happened in a case that took
place over a year and half ago?
I
ask every one who can please come out next month Thursday, November 15th
at 9:30 a.m. Part 11 with Judge Hannah, and the same date to part 6 at 2pm with
Judge Fiorella, Buffalo City Court, 50 Delaware Avenue, to await a
decision on my motion for dismissal in the original case, where I was
brutalized a year and a half ago simply for exercising rights
guaranteed by the First Amendment and Article One, Section Eight of the New
York State Constitution.

The inquiry into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya by conservatives to this point has been little more than an expression of white supremacy and political theater. What the inquiry is saying is that only "American" lives matter and not the lives of the thousands killed in Libya or those that are still being killed and displaced from their homes due to ethnic cleansing by forces backed by the United States.
