- US Federal Law
I have a federal criminal complaint against me for threatening federal official. I have been fighting with the Government about veterans benefits. My contention with my lawyer is that she brought up none of the violations of that I asked her to bring up prior. Taking my words out of context, citing events with no supporting evidence, using photos to show me as an aggressor than not providing the video in pretrial discovery 90 days later, and stating that a threat was made when talking to myself leaving a facility and being followed by over 8 law enforcement officers. And that by me repeating what I said when asked by law enforcement what I said when talking to myself constitutes as a threat is ridiculous and violation of my 1st Amendment using civil rights, with me citing multiple Supreme Court decisions to support my argument. All I was told by my lawyer is that I have to wait till inditement to bring these things up. Im like if I can prove the criminal complaint bogus now why do I have to wait till Im indited to fight it or even get my restrictions addressed. Its literally what 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(2) states that a hearing may be reopened before or after a court's ruling on a detention motion at any time before trial if the judicial officer finds that new information exists that is material to the issue and Title 18, United States Code, Section 3141(a) gives "judicial officers" authority to make determinations regarding bail in all stages of a criminal case, up to and including the trial stage.
