An update on my 18 month ordeal with the Western District of Oklahoma DOJ that opened with a shocking front yard gunpoint arrest and ended in a dismissal of all charges. This case had it all, including an ultra rare disqualification of the AUSA who brought the original and superseding indictment. A federal judge disqualified him because of relationships between himself, his family, and board members and shareholders of the bank and the University of Oklahoma.

In traditional criminal cases, wrongful conviction estimates are already terrifying. Some studies place innocence rates in the prison population around 4–6%, with certain categories even higher.
That is why many states have created Conviction Integrity Units. But even these reviews catch only a tiny fraction of the real problem. The National Registry of Exonerations recorded 147 exonerations in 2024, with CIUs helping secure 62 of them. Important work — but nowhere near enough.
Now look at the federal system.
Federal defendants almost never win. Most never even get a real trial. The pressure to plead is overwhelming, the indictment bar is zero, and acquittals are extremely rare.
In corporate-driven cases, it can be even worse. A powerful company can make a corrupt referral, shapes the narrative, hand the government a packaged “case,” and the individual target is suddenly fighting both the federal government and the corporation that created the false story.
If the company is wrong, biased, retaliatory, or commercially motivated, the damage is still done.
Careers are destroyed.
Families are destroyed.
Businesses are destroyed.
Freedom is taken.
And the company faces no accountability for setting the machine in motion.
This is a mockery of justice.
The cases discussed here are examples of how extreme the injustice can become when corporate referrals, weak safeguards, and federal prosecutorial power collide.
We need real reform:
• independent review before corporate-driven referrals become indictments
• mandatory disclosure of company conflicts and business motives
• penalties for false or misleading corporate referrals
• post-conviction integrity review at the federal level
• stronger safeguards before someone’s life is destroyed
Wrongful convictions are not just a state-court problem.
Federal injustice needs its own Conviction Integrity system — and it needs it now.

@ShamsCharania The upside to the OKC Thunder coming up short this season is the complete decimation of any national narratives that Wemby and the Spurs are 1.) ethical and 2.) don’t get special treatment. Get healthy and stomp these creeps next year
@ed_rosenberg Check out this DOJ weaponization case.
Lucky Ott owned Boerne Drug Company, a small independent pharmacy in Boerne, Texas (2014–2019). Like many pharmacies during the compounded-medication boom, it filled topical creams and gels for patients across the country through outside marketing firms and telemedicine networks.
In 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors in the Southern District of Georgia indicted him on a single count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and pay kickbacks.
The government alleged that Ott and co-conspirators paid over $1 million in bribes to doctors (via marketers) to generate unnecessary high-cost compounded prescriptions. Boerne Drug allegedly filled them, shipped the drugs nationwide, and billed insurers (including Medicare and Tricare) for more than $10 million.
The scheme supposedly relied on sham telemedicine call centers to obtain patient information.
Notably, Ott had never set foot in Georgia. The case was part of a broader DOJ crackdown on compound pharmacy marketing networks. He fought the charges for years. His co-defendants or associates faced related scrutiny, but Ott took it to trial.
October 2025 trial in Statesboro, GA: After the DOJ rested its case on Oct 27, the defense moved for judgment of acquittal. The federal judge granted it immediately, ruling the government failed to prove venue in Georgia and that the evidence did not establish Ott’s knowing participation in any criminal scheme. He was acquitted on the spot.
The “process” had already devastated his family: they lost their home, his parents lost theirs to help pay legal fees, and they’re now hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. He’s raising funds via https://t.co/7LdHG569n2 (currently ~$1.35k of $3k goal) for a June 11 trip to DC and seed money to launch the Justice Restoration Foundation — aimed at reforming how federal prosecutions can financially destroy innocent people even when they win at trial.
Full receipts and reports promised.
Onward. 🙏
@gentnerdrummond Wendy, could we get a rationalization for your husband’s dismissal of charges from the police brutality that ultimately resulted in the death of Lich Vu?
America, we have a problem.
A corporate giant like @amazon@netflix can hire elite former federal prosecutors working at high-end law firms, package a criminal referral to any of the 93 districts it has a connection with, and trigger the DOJ to pursue any individual for non-justifiable reasons.
The target victim never gets to tell their side to the grand jury.
The grand jury hears one side, often from a comically wrong scammy "indictment" you would expect in North Korea.
Then life is destroyed.
For the non-billionaire class, indictment means financial ruin, reputational destruction, and unbearable pressure to plead.
There is no fair fight.
There is no real trial.
There is only survival.
This is how the justice system has become a private weapon for powerful interests.
Not justice.
Leverage.
I listed 38 examples below which needs righting

The “grand jury” has become a grand joke.
There’s an old saying that a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.
Now add the modern version:
A major corporation hires a high-end law firm stacked with former federal prosecutors. They package a one-sided clown-show referral, hand it to their old buddy at their previous gig at the DOJ, and the criminal "justice" system is used to benefit the paying client.
The "grand jury" does not hear the full story. Neither the prosecutors nor the "jury" even knows the facts of the case, since the paying client wrote the libelous "indictment."
The public sees an indictment and assumes guilt.
And for an ordinary citizen, there is no trial, no fair fight, and no realistic way to survive financially against both the DOJ and a corporate giant. They are forced to "plea" to an unvetted, illogical "case."
I documented 38 concrete examples where this kind of system led to injustice, coercion, and destruction. 38 ham sandwiches.
Do you know anyone in law, media, politics, or DOJ reform who understands this problem?

@Amy_K_Nelson@JeffBezos@Amy_K_Nelson it takes either of these two to set off the public give-a-shit about justice:
1.) a person is perceived to have gotten off lightly i.e. under-punished
2.) political nexus
But over punished? Process punished? Process devastated?
Crickets.
@coffeyforok Incredible that for $17 million and having gone through two different failed contractors, us Oklahomans are back to square one with food in the state parks. Systemic incompetence meets failed governance structure
@Eddie_Rado It’s weird for @wemby to be young, athletically and physically gifted like no human before him, praised and talked up to have unlimited GOAT potential
And then at the same time also be complete chickenshit when things don’t go his way
