Oct 15, 2024 - Stopped at a roadblock (license checkpoint). After invoking my 5th amendment right to remain silent, not answering questions unrelated to the stop and refusing non mandatory field sobriety tests, I was arrested and charged with DUI - Failure to Comply and DUI - Other substances.

Nov 14, 2024 - first pretrial conference. I was advised twice to "get a lawyer" while the judge refused to review evidence or hear duly filed and pending motions.

Feb 14, 2025 - appeared for trial without evidence or hearing. Prior to trial, prosecutor states in open court to me "you want a special judge and prosecutor, you're getting it. You're free to go." No order issued from the bench. No written order ever provided.
March 11, 2025 - follow-up call to Justice Court to seek clarification of the case status. Justice Clerk provided misleading and inaccurate case status information. I learned this by calling the Circuit clerk, who adamantly and profusely denied the Justice clerk's claims. These calls are recorded.

This is a true and correct timeline based on filed motions, recorded proofs of service and documented evidence.
Absolute immunity for sitting judges allows them to blatantly and willfully disregard the rights of a pro se advocate.
16 months have lapsed since arrest. This case is now entering appeal.

Judge calls the case.
Pro se: defendant objects to proceeding with trial at this time.
Judge: ok
Pro se: there's a pending motion before the court, mailed via certified mail on Feb 11 and delivered to the courts po box on Feb 14. The motion was received by the clerk on Feb 18. I have proof of delivery and a courtesy copy for your review.
Judge: denied. (Looks at prosecutor and nods) Continue.
Pro se: your honor this is a constitutional threshold matter and proceeding without review would further prejudice the defendant. Defendant respectfully requests the court give hearing on the pending Barker v Wingo motion and grant dismissal as required if a Barker violation is established.
Judge: denied, overruled. (Motions to prosecutor to continue)
Prosecutor: your honor....
Pro se: (interrupting) your honor, the defendant objects to proceeding to trial at this time.
Judge: why?
Pro se: your honor, there are multiple pending dispositive motions before the court which have never been scheduled for hearing or review. Defendant requests the court to provide hearing on existing motions.
Judge: such as?
Pro se: your honor, there is a pending motion to dismiss for constitutional violations of unlawfully extending a stop under Rodriguez v United States and related precedent and a motion for subpoena duces tecum. I have courtesy copies here for you.
Judge: denied.
Pro se: defendant requests his objections be noted for the record.
Judge: noted
Pro se: defendant objects to proceeding to trial at this time.
Judge: (stares without speaking)
Pro se: your honor, defendant has been unable to adequately prepare for trial due to failure of the state to provide states evidence despite multiple lawful and timely requests including a motion for subpoena duces tecum, which was unlawfully denied off record during an ex parte meeting between the former judge and prosecutor on Dec 11 and which no formal order was ever entered. To date, defendant has not received states evidence.
Judge: overruled, denied
Pro se: defendant objects to proceeding to trial at this time
Judge: (stares again) go ahead
Pro se: defendant has not received proper notice of this trial and only learned of it yesterday when the clerk emailed a copy of the arresting officers subpoena to me and called me to let me know I was scheduled for trial the next day.
Judge: overruled. We can do this all day. I don't care how many motions you bring, you're having a trial today.
------------------------------------
This really happened. What followed was a travesty of Justice. A mock trial ensued with prosecutor questioning the arresting officer and introducing evidence. I objected because I had not been given opportunity to review the evidence and chain of custody. Denied. I requested it to be noted for the record. During cross, the arresting officer made statements under oath which contradicted video footage. I objected on the record again to being unable to impeach the sergeant due to unlawful suppression of exculpatory evidence and requested dismissal. Again denied.
I made a statement for the record and rested the defense. I was found guilty and given a sentence.
The charges? Misdemeanor disorderly conduct - failure to comply and DUI - other substances.
16 months old. Barker assumes presumptive prejudice after 8 months.
The case is appealed. Let's begin to shed light on small town and rural Mississippi corruption, failure to supervise and lack of accountability.
@Desy_nvr2late@Rightanglenews I didn't debate the merits of the case. Do I think they are POS parents? I absolutely do but that does not change the law
@sowsauce85@Rightanglenews But they did use it. They bought that fancy house and that fancy vehicle. Now that judge could order them to sell the home but without a buyer, it just looks good on paper. It doesn't change the circumstances
You fail to understand as a minor he had no control over that money and if it's gone then his parents are the ones responsible for that fraud not him. And the eyes of the law when it comes to making judicial decisions about a person's indigent status they must consider that person's source of income and ability to hire defense. If the parents screwed up that money then let them be charged with a crime. It still doesn't matter when it comes to a plea for appointed counsel. The judge can order that they sell the home but then they have to hope somebody buys it. I'm glad you all know so much about the law though.
Semantics and emotion aside, if there's fraud involved, let Justice be served. People let the media inflame their emotions and tell them what to be enraged about. Whether or not his family embezzled the money does not matter. The law is fundamental and if he meets the definition of indigent and penniless, he will get that lawyer. I didn't say I agreed with it. I said by the color and standard of the law he is penniless and indigent. He has no independent source of income. He had no material control over the money that was donated to him under whatever auspices. As a minor his parents were in full control. If that money is indeed gone, they are responsible. Their bad faith doesn't change how the law is applied.
@Rightanglenews Truth of the matter is he is penniless and indigent. That's not his money that's his family's money. They have no legal obligation to support him or his defense. By the standard and color of the law he fits the criteria
@BConservat24972@Rightanglenews He is now a ward of the state. No matter what age you are when convicted of a felony and sent to State correctional facilities, you are no longer a free individual but a minor incarcerated individual under the care and ward of the state
@propublica I am actively fighting criminal charges resulting from a retaliatory arrest for exercising my rights at a roadblock. It has been stalemated in courts for almost 2 years and they are hiding behind Younger v Harris. Please help
@_BasedPerry@whiteatlas69@RobertA22711158@Rightanglenews I really don't care about either family though. All this media attention serves only to divide and distract. Legally, the kid (now adult) is indigent and penniless. My original post is based on law, not emotion. The law is only just when it is equally applied to all
@whiteatlas69@RobertA22711158@Rightanglenews I wasn't aware of all these details. The family should be forced to return those funds if not used for the intended purpose. But that doesn't change his indigent status. Crowdfunding defense is wild. Blowing it like there's no chance at conviction is crazy
@unbiasedignora1@elonmusk Nepal had a revolution, then they elected a new government on discord. I say the future is bright if we just remove the cancer in place now. First we burn it down; then we rebuild
