Questions presented
-
Whether the lower courts erred regarding the denied evidence, violating the defendant’s constitutional right to a complete defense, if the evidence denied would have better shown the jury the defendants “willfulness” “reasonableness” and “state of mind” at the time of the alleged crime, proving that the defendant had no mens rea?
-
When the Appellate Court instruction is vague regarding the District Court improperly ordering restitution as a penalty due immediately absence of statutory authority, and it damaged the appellant, what can be done to correct it?
-
Should the DOJ lawfully absolve the IRS, Prosecutors? or Judges? who seemingly have no accountability, and flagrantly twist, distort and mock a defendant’s religious beliefs at trial, then weaponized those miss-stated beliefs in the media, leaving the slandered appellant indefensible?
