JPFO ALERT: 

Could Science Prove You Guilty of a Crime You Didn't Commit?



Re: JPFO ALERT: Could Science Prove You Guilty of a Crime You Didn't Commit?

Saturday on 48 Hours Mystery, a man was convicted to life for killing a young
co-ed about named Maggie 25 years ago.  Oddly his DNA from saliva was present,
but so was a blood dropping from a 4 1/2 year old boy not responsible or near
the crime scene, which leads one to believe the evidence is not correct,
flawed, contaminated, or the lab tests faulty.  It's on appeal.  He's a model
citizen without any history of even a parking ticket or abuse toward anyone.

They can also plant false evidence and put you at the scene of any crime they
wish, especially if they want to silence a dissident who speaks out against our
tyrannical government, or to get a conviction by an over zealous prosecutor.

J. Edgar Hoover allowed an innocent black man sit in prison for 39 years, and he
had proof the man did not commit the crime.  It was on 60 Minutes, and he was
finally let go on information obtained by Senior Law Students doing a thesis
who investigated his case.

They call this a democracy!  There's hardly anything left of our Constitutional
Republic!  Instead of Padilla, it could be you next time, and you could be held
in Gitmo without due process, as a terrorist.  You are a terrorist, if Bush says
you are a terrorist, and you could be held indefinitely according to the
Supremes, just by putting your DNA at the scene of a crime for speaking out.

The law is suppose to be equitable and fair, whether you are white, black, or
pokadot, Christian, Jew, Muslim or a known serial killer.  It's suppose to be
based on facts and the law.  The accused is presumed innocent until proven
guilty, and it must be tempered with mercy.  Somehow "The facts and the laws
don't matter any more." -- Atty. Linda K.  She also says the only way we can
get our Constitutional Republic back, is to take back the corrupt legal system.

No wonder Sherman Skolnick is speaking out and among judge-accusers labeled
domestic terrorists.  States Skolnick: "This stems from recent secret meetings
of federal judges chaired in person or via teleconferencing by Antonin Scalia,
an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The judges asked for and
received from George W. Bush, an order signed by proxy Karl Rove, designating
certain persons linked to the court-reform group, as 'domestic terrorists'
during a 'war emergency.'"  A detailed summary of events that precipitated this
accusation may be found at

This ain't America anymore folks!  Who are they going after next, the lawyers
like Linda known as the "People's Lawyer" that fight for our rights, disallow
exculpatory evidence, hold them in contempt, change court transcripts in their
own hand writing, commit perjury themselves when they lie about, and exempt
from the law, threaten and intimidate lawyers, steal their office records, and
attempt to disbar or do disbar them?  Well it's already happened to at least
three good attorneys I know, and probably others I don't know about.

BCC: Like minded attorneys, and others.

ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP
America's Aggressive Civil Rights Organization

November 28, 2005

JPFO ALERT: COULD SCIENCE PROVE YOU GUILTY OF A CRIME YOU DIDN'T COMMIT?

In a criminal trial, we might be skeptical of the testimony of an eyewitness or
a psychologist. But when a forensic scientist or lab technician takes the
stand, we take notice.

So do juries.

But should anyone accept "scientific" testimony at face value? And more
importantly, are police and prosecutors putting innocent citizens through
hellish ordeals on the basis of many different varieties of questionable
"evidence"?

Last week, the journal _New Scientist_ dropped the latest bombshell. They gave
us one more huge reminder that government scientists and technicians are just
as fallible as anyone, and that "scientific evidence" may not be what it seems.

The new revelations are particularly important to gun owners.

SCIENCE THAT ISN'T

In the last eight years, serious doubts have been cast on the reliability of
fingerprint evidence and the honesty and competence of FBI lab work. More
recently, JPFO has exposed incompetence and lack of standards in the ATF's
firearms testing. (See links below.)

Now _New Scientist_
(http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg18825274.300) tells us that
"gun-shot residue" (GSR) used to "prove" that a person fired a gun in an attack
may not actually be GSR at all. And even if it is, it didn't necessarily come
from firing a gun!

Read the article. You'll learn, among other things, that:

* False GSR can get on a person's hands when they handle fireworks, certain
industrial tools, or brake linings.
(Apparently mechanics are particularly susceptible to being accused of
firearms-related crimes.)

* Even when GSR actually is GSR, traces on a person's hands don't mean they
fired a gun or committed any crime. The background amount of GSR found in a
crime lab, for instance, may be greater than that found on a defendant's hands!

* One of the best places to get GSR on your hands is -- this is ironic -- the
back seat of a police car.

Furthermore, there are no consistent standards for determining whether traces on
a person's hands are actually GSR, or what concentrations of genuine GSR are
required to prove anything at all.

Finally, the article doesn't say it, but it's probable that virtually every
recreational shooter is frequently covered with genuine -- but entirely
innocent -- gun-shot residue.

CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS

We have written before that prosecutors are increasingly concerned more with
their "stats" -- their conviction percentages -- than with actual justice.

Couple this with the vast number of new crimes constantly being created by
governments and with the outrageous mandatory minimum sentences for anyone
convicted of a "gun crime," and you have a recipe for disaster.

Furthermore, with programs like Project Safe Neighborhoods actively seeking to
prosecute "gun crimes" (including the most non-violent acts) no gun owner is
safe. If a jury hears that we have gun-shot residue on our hands or that our
fingerprints were found at a crime scene, they don't know enough to question
the "facts."

The "expert" from the government says it's true. And the "scientific evidence"
says it's true. And so off to prison we go ... for five or 10 or 15 years, or a
lifetime.

In a culture that truly respected the Bill of Rights -- a culture where laws
were few and understandable, a culture where government was limited and not
given so much automatic, unthinking respect -- abuses like this would be few
and far between. Prosecutors would not have such awesome power. Independent
agencies would have a stake in making sure that science was truly scientific.
And far fewer innocent people would be dragged into court in the first place.

We need to improve the science behind forensics. We need more honest prosecutors
and police departments. But above all, we need a Bill of Rights culture -- a
culture that values individual rights and seeks _true_ justice for all.

A Bill of Rights culture is something only you and I can create, one awakened
mind at a time. - The Liberty Crew
