Prosecutorial Misconduct.

January 9, 2014 at 8:18 P.M. An attempt to sign-in was obstructed by a page bearing the notice: "Error 503." I will do my best to continue writing from my home and from public computers. More New Jersey scandals and crises will be discussed soon. 

I was sorry to learn of the death of Amiri Baraka. My thoughts and good wishes are extended to all who knew and admired Mr. Baraka as well as his writings.

The circus-like atmosphere surrounding revelations of deliberate traffick ("traffic" or "traffick" are both hunky-dory) snarls, as political weapons, in Fort Lee has led to the unconvincing spectacle of North Jersey Democrats expressing "outrage" at bare knuckles political tactics. Compared to Bergen County's Democrats Governor Christie is St. Francis of Assisi.

Mr. Christie's blunder in trusting his assistants -- Christie is unlikely to be so stupid, I hope, as to place lives in danger to score political "cookie points" or extract tribute from the "Jersey Boys" -- is soon to be surpassed by new alleged bribery scandals affecting Mr. Menendez. 

Senator Menendez's far worse offenses do not seem to interest the media, for some reason, but they do concern the FBI and Senate's Ethics Committee. 

More about all of this will be discussed soon.  

January 8, 2014 at 2:02 P.M. Efforts to prevent me from posting new items have not been successful, so far. I will try to continue writing from multiple public computers in New York.

"Rampant Prosecutorial Misconduct: Evidence is Often Withheld From the Defense, and Courts Rarely Step In," The New York Times, Sunday Review, January 5, 2014, p. 10.

Government lawyers are ethically and legally obligated to disclose (rather than to lie about and hide or destroy) exculpatory material. There is to be no "secret evidence" nor any accusatory proceedings in the American legal system. No statements should be submitted to any tribunal in America that are not subject to cross examination and review, including so-called experts' reports from the likes of "Terry Tuchin" and/or "Diana Lisa Riccioli." ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

Ethics lawyers do not get to decide what is relevant for discovery purposes, nor what is "exculpatory" -- or helpful for the defense -- but they are required to make ALL files pertaining to a targeted individual available for review and inspection by their "victim." ("New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.") 

With regard to ethics proceedings, in fact, regulators are never to solicit grievances against a defense attorney who is designated, for political reasons, for destruction. They are certainly not to submit fraudulent or purchased testimony, lie about the fact later, nor to conceal or hide evidence. Shame on you, Mr. McGill. ("Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" and "New Jersey is Lucky Luciano's Havana" then "John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption.") 

Ethics officials must disclose the full truth concerning colleagues and clients to whom they have spoken about an attorney, usually behind his back, to make all slanders of an attorney known to him or her, and to say exactly when they have spoken to individuals about someone chosen for legal/illegal assassination through economic and professional harm, and in other ways. (Again: "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

"Conversations" between or among ethics attorneys and a target's colleagues and/or clients should never be held before the filing of grievances that are often solicited and purchased from bogus witnesses in New Jersey. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

Among the persons spoken to, unethically, by the Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE) officials in my matters were Douglas Fleischer, Esq., Armando Hernandez, Esq., Mr. Espinoza and many others, including judges at the time (like Emile DelBaglivo) who were instructed to "give him" -- meaning me -- "a hard time." 

Giving me a "hard time" involved attempting to damage my clients' interests regardless of the law. For this reason, I found it necessary to appeal a number of Municipal Court decisions and reverse them, even if local officials were a tad miffed about my "arrogance" in doing so. ("Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Ms. De La Cruz, did you write letters "on behalf" of so-called former "clients" of mine without identifying yourself to them (or me) in accordance with ethics rules? Ms. Kriko? Gilberto Garcia? John McGill? Edgar Navarrete? ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" then, again, "John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption.")

If you can get away with the commission of such horrible crimes against a disfavored defense attorney, together with lying about and covering-up what you have done, OAE, then why not continue to target attorneys whose efforts do not meet with the approval of powerful officials and judges who tend to dislike "radicals" or anyone presuming to defend or speak for some of the least popular persons in our society while insisting on RESPECT for Constitutional and human rights? No reason. Ethics mechanisms then become a means of enforcing political conformity. Being a defense attorney is not a popularity contest.

It is important for prosecutors "to play fair, not just to win. This obligation is embodied in the Supreme Court's 1963 holding in Brady v. Maryland, [sic.] which required prosecutors to provide the defense with any exculpatory evidence that could materially affect a verdict or sentence."

Ethics attorneys are held to an even higher standard that requires, for example, disclosing so-called "experts' reports" filed by "Terry Tuchin" and/or Ms. Poritz's then "lover," Diana Lisa Riccioli, as "therapist," either with the OAE and/or the New Jersey Supreme Court, or both. Neither Riccioli nor "Tuchin" (whatever his real name may be), evidently, possessed professional credentials in 1988 or since that time. ("Marilyn Straus Was Right!") 

Were judicial or other favors for Diana Lisa Riccioli exchanged for lesbian sex with the likes of Estela De La Cruz or Debbie Poritz? Probably. ("Sexual Favors For New Jersey Judges" and "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!" then "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")

This legal obligation of fairness and due process is systematically violated by N.J. criminal prosecutors and ethics attorneys, who should also refrain from thefts from those they litigate against. Right, Mr. McGill? ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "New Jersey Lawyers' Ethics Farce.") 

Crimes -- like tampering with witnesses and obstructions of justice -- may also violate the rules of ethics applicable to OAE attorneys. This is to say nothing of "interrogational torture" or even "backdating documents." (Again: "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli.")  

"Alex Kosinski, the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, issued the most stinging indictment of this systemic failure in recent memory. 'There is an epidemic of Brady violations [also prosecutors lying, withholding evidence is a kind of lying,] abroad in the land,' Judge Kosinski wrote in dissent from a ruling against a man who argued that a prosecutor had withheld crucial evidence in his case. 'Only judges can put a stop to it.' ..." (emphasis added!)

Usually, nothing happens to crooked government lawyers: Ms. De La Cruz, did you have sexual contact with Marilyn Straus while she was under hypnosis, or drugged, and/or at all? What name did you give to Ms. Straus, Ms. De La Cruz, at the time of your encounter? How many other persons "had their way" with Marilyn Straus on this occasion and/or on the occasion of "other" therapy sessions, Ms. De La Cruz? Diana Lisa Riccioli? Alicia Mucci? How much did you steal from Ms. Straus, "ladies" and "Terry Tuchin"? It is difficult for a woman to refuse consent to your "charms," Ms. De La Cruz, if she is unconscious when you seduce her. (Again: "Marilyn Straus Was Right!" and "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison.")

Is there anyone who can put a stop to New Jersey's continuing criminality in my matters? (Again: "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")

Mr. Rabner, are you too frightened or corrupt to deal with this matter which is affecting the remaining shreds of credibility of your state's Supreme Court? Are you frightened of the mafia, Mr. Rabner, or only of your own legal ethics establishment? Solomon Dwek ring a bell, Mr. Rabner? ("Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "What did you know, Mr. Rabner, and when did you know it?")

Lying by New Jersey government lawyers, incompetence, slovenliness, fabrication of evidence, paying persons to testify falsely, covering-up and more lying about their criminal frauds, means that innocent persons often spend years in prison or are otherwise adversely affected by tainted legal decisions and outcomes in comical proceedings. Some persons may die before receiving the justice to which they are due. ("Luis C. Taylor Serves 42 Years As An Innocent Man" and "Larry Peterson Cleared by DNA.")

Is Anne Rodgers, Esq., still a Union County Prosecutor? ("Justice For Mumia Abu-Jamal.")

Corruption among U.S. and N.J. government lawyers, especially as regards the tainted Office of Attorney Ethics in Trenton --

" -- creates a serious moral hazard, ... particularly since prosecutors are virtually never punished for misconduct. According to the Center for Prosecutor Integrity, multiple studies over 50 years show that courts punished prosecutorial misconduct in less than 2 percent of cases where it occurred. And that rarely amounted to more than a slap on the wrist, such as making the prosecutor pay for the cost of the disciplinary hearing." 

It seems clear now that the OAE lied, invented evidence, covered-up frauds, lawyers and others stole money and clients from my office, with their blessings in Trenton, and that there was an illicit political component to the effort to "get" me, to say nothing of hypnosis-based interrogations and sexual assaults against me. ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.") 

These facts have been known to the authorities in New Jersey and federal officials for some time. Nothing seems to happen in response to my requests for the truth from Trenton officials. How strange? Lulu? ("How censorship works in America.") 

No response has been received to my evidence of cybercrime and other censorship efforts against these blogs in violation of section 42 of the U.S. Code and applicable sections of the Constitution. To comment on my ethics or character seems a wee bit pointless or ridiculous at this time:

"The lack of professional consequences for failure to disclose exculpatory evidence only makes the breach of duty more likely. As Judge Kosinski wrote, 'Some prosecutors don't care about Brady because courts don't make them care.' ..."

Someone needs to make New Jersey care about the law and lawyers' ethics rules. Ironically, I may have to be among those persons contributing to the effort to force New Jersey's OAE to obey the law and conduct themselves ethically or professionally. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit" then "Is America's Legal Ethics a Lie?")
