This is important because my son, and I are suffering at the hands of an unjust court, and seeking investigation, and relief, into our wrongful convictions by the District Attorney, and 20th Judicial District Court in East Feliciana Parish. We are innocent victims of unfounded criminal charges, persecution, and malicious convictions. I feel this was done in retaliation because I filed a complaint/and on Youtube (1st Amendment Right), after being falsely arrested on a felony theft charge I didn't commit. I hired a contractor, ( Ms.), during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I overpaid the contractor when I failed to deduct prior payments I had advanced him. When I asked him to return the check, $7574, he refused. I stopped payment. He illegally withdrew the funds from my account electronically. My Credit Union, Pelican State gave me a Forgery Affidavit in error to dispute the bad transaction. The money was replaced in my account. I held the money anticipating a compromise, or small claims court. He filed criminal charges against me, alleging I said he forged my name by using the Forgery Affidavit, and stole his labor when I stopped payment on the check. I was arrested, jailed and placed on a $15,000 bond. There was no Preliminary Hearing. I was later maliciously convicted and remanded back to jail on a $25,000 bond, ( Cruel Unusal Punishment, and Excessive Bail), 8th Amendment. There was no prior investigation by the D A's office, or Sheriff . The contractor was unlicensed and unbonded, didn't supply building materials per his contract, used some of my old building materials, and the job was never finished.
Recusal of the D A was denied. My Credit Union admitted their mistake in a letter of apology, and to Probation and Parole in a Pre-sentence Investigation. My conviction remains. I receive $558 a month, and ordered to pay $388 a month, (Cruel and Unusual Punishment, hardship), the 8th Amendment. This is unfair and illegal. These fees should have been at least calculated based on my earnings, as directed by the Appeals Court. During the Summer of 2009, my then 17 year old son, Matthew was accused of indecent exposure by a 51 year old senior educator, while working at his school as he had done without incidence since age 15. She claimed she saw him indecently exposed while walking on a hall behind her. There were no witnesses. I asked to see school cameras, but was ignored. When I voiced suspicions about her story, why she followed him alone down stairs? and didn't report it until several days later, and told me she asked him if he was modeling for her, etc.? When I voiced my suspicions to the superintendent about this educator, she filed charges against Matthew. D A, Samuel C D'Aquilla, serves as legal counsel to the school board, taught at my son's school, prior to becoming D A, already had a vendetta against me and had previously told me he would arrest, and jail my son in the presence of others, (a conflict of interest). Recusal of the D A was denied.
When Louisiana Board of Education (Lester Hitchcock) said they couldn't legally keep Matthew from attending his school. He returned August 07, 2009. Then a senior educator in the middle school filed a complaint alleging she had seen him as well, but didn't say anything at the time? Again no cameras, no witnesses, and I was ignored. Both applied for restraining orders? Matthew maintains his innocence, and has never acted any ways inappropiate, or did anything remotely closed to what they alleged, and why senior citizens, old enough to be his grandmother? There was no evidence of a crime, and no investigation. He was never offered an opportunity to tell his side of the story, nor was I. First he was placed on a $10,000 bond, then Illegally removed from school, placed on a 72 hour hold, but jailed for five days, and placed on a $40,000? He eventually returned to his school, and graduated, but still had two counts of Felony Indecent Exposure (Obscenity) against until recently, April 24, 2012. He was maliciously persecuted and convicted of 2 counts of Attempted Obscenity. He is 20 years old. His life is ruined. He is scheduled to be sentenced in August. My property is still being held. Neither one of us can move forward, get jobs, etc. We are not second class citizens. We are Americans! I feel the charges and convictions against us are retalitory and unfounded, and misuse of the criminal justice system to destroy us, a hate crime! Neither one of us had criminal records. This petition is important because we need relief from the injustice that has been done against us, and our wrongful convictions overturned. We would like an opportunity to show evidence to a right law authority of our innocence.
Many Innocent people have spent their entire lives imprisoned, some executed. This happens to the poor continously. Most are African American, (Systemic Racism). Billions of tax dollars are wasted this way. Louisiana has the higest incarceration rate in the entire world. MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP PROSECUTORIAL/JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING VICTIMIZED, RESULTING IN INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING WRONGFULLY DISPLACED TO THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
Investigate, Stop, Malicious Prosecutions/ Convictions in (E F P) Louisiana, USA
