Wishing New year’s progress to all the community people pushing for change!
In regards to application for the Governor’s pardon, it is my wish that you kindly mail the original form enclosed to California’s newly-elected Governor G. Newsom by certified mail (and please return a copy to me).
Recently, I petitioned the Justices of the US Supreme Court in DC, requesting that they act as the “13th juror” by acknowledging the 12 jurors’ documented acquittal of me; thereby they would run those corrupted and lying judges such as William H. Orrick, D. Lowell Jensen and other criminals alike out of the picture. (They are playing with people’s lives; it has become a game to them.)
If the new governor is who he claims to be, for prison reform, he could use cases such as mine to send a clear message to the corrupted Parole Board: its days of making its own laws, in frame-ups, will not be tolerated.
My case is evidence: I’ve been in prison over half a century because the Board does not release victims of racist frame-ups, hate crimes, unless they have been driven crazy or peoples opposed to racism publicly campaign against the scum’s cover-up.
The jurors in my case ruled me ‘not guilty,’ and documents by jurors B. J. Suares and David F. Smith tell some of what the jurors found illegal in how my case was handled, and required that high authority correct such illegalities, that go all the way back to the 1963 frame-up leading to my original imprisonment, and continuing through the way the judge railroaded me in the 1970 Marin courthouse case despite the jury’s ruling for my factual innocence of the charges.
Since the out-going Gov. Brown did not act, the new governor’s task regarding my acquittal in the latter case is simple: “Review the record!”
The jurors in my case, little though many community members may know, gave videotaped testimony regarding their vote to acquit me. Yet for years, the corrupted judges have failed or refused to address the acquittal issue all of these since a judge deemed me convicted and sentenced me; instead the appellate judges keep mouthing off about Magee, Magee, Magee again, filing too many legal documents.
Either the US Supreme Court of the new Governor of California are in a position to recognize the judges’ abuse of power, and to put an end of the injustice of my continued incarceration. I will never accept slavery! No matter how many criminals in high places seek to justify it.
