Questions presented
-
Are Due Process and the Right to a Speedy Trial violated when the State repeatedly fails to provide timely and complete discovery and/or fails to provide evidence, including potentially exculpatory evidence, altogether?
-
Is Due Process violated when a Judge fails to read the mandatory opening statement including descriptions of right to counsel, right to appeal especially when the litigant before him is pro se?
-
Is Due Process violated when a pro se litigant is held in contempt of court when not all of the elements of contempt are met (as acknowledged by the Appellate Court) and when the litigant is not timely provided with a copy of the order holding him in contempt?
-
Is Due Process violated when City Prosecutor admits that the Contempt ruling by the Judge was a “Set-up” meant to paint the Plaintiff as a trouble maker for this and other court cases.
-
Is Due Process denied when Plaintiff is a known, effective Republican political activist, Commissioner and Chairman for at least ten (10) years. The City has harassed Plaintiff for years with lawsuits with approx imately 95% of them being dismissed. This contempt ruling is one (1) of these spurious issues.
-
Should Case Law address lawfare in a State that is effectively one-party rule? This includes: failure to follow Rules of Court, business relationship of Court to Mayor, failure to provide a Court Order per Rules of Court/Law, failure to provide discovery, failure of Prosecutor to meet filing deadlines, and more.
