Question presented

Whether seven constitutional violations — including violations of the Fourth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments — over 120 Brady violations, and more than 200 acts of prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, including the trampling of the Petitioner’s rights, blatant injustice, and a mockery of due process, are supported by the Supreme Court. All questions pertain to the wrongful charging, prosecution, and conviction of an innocent person — the Petitioner — by a prosecutor and judge. The exposure of these wrongful and deliberate actions was obstructed by the appellate court for the Eighth Circuit, Western District of Missouri, in St. Louis, for the apparent purpose of shielding those involved. The questions here are: Q:1 Whether a judgement of acquittal of my case should have been granted due to 7 Constitutional Violations, over 100 Brady Violations and over 150 Prosecutorial and Judicial acts of Misconduct? Q:2 Whether the restitutions were wrongly and nefariously imposed utilizing false charges? Q:3 Whether the Appellate Court collaborated in their sudden 11th hour denial of my Appeal, violating my rights to protect the prosecutor from exposure of his lawless acts?
