I have been trying to remedy myself of this dilemma for almost 6 years now........
I will start from the beginning......
I am a computer repair man,I now own a small computer repair business....
I bought a laptop computer from a Friend-of-a-friend,it was the whole I need money for probation story...I felt bad for the guy,so I bought it from him....
Next thing I know I am coming home and my whole house is surrounded by police...I still made no effort to evade,I get out of the car and the police pointed guns at me,my wife(who was holding my newborn child),and the two guys who were with me.Next they took us one by one into my house (which they had destroyed,including kicking the door down)I was last to be took upstairs,this is when they basically said, forget what he has to say,just take him to jail.At this point I refused to talk to them,this is when I saw just how crooked that they could be....They actually charged me with obstructing government operations,amongst the other charges.I was booked and not allowed to make a phone call,I was then locked down in a cell for a period of 72hrs (only allowed out for 20 mins to shower and no phone calls)before I was ever charged with anything. I saw the other guy who was with me and he had been choaked by the police officers,literally 1 bruise on one side of his neck and 4 on the other(obvious hand markings)!They had this guy confessing to every crime Gadsden had seen in years.This is the part where I made bail and was released.As soon as I got home, my well thinking wife, had made them give her the search warrant which justified them doing this to our home,THE SEARCH WARRANT HAD NO SIGNATURE ON IT!!!!!!!!
So I think I am all in the clear now right,any lawyer in his/her right mind would be able to get these charges dropped.Obstructing government operations,Receiving stolen property,and they also charged me with theft??,both 3rd degree felonies.Obviously I was wrong...four years have gone by and I haven't heard the first thing from my public pretender,except meeting him briefly in the beginning.I finally get a phone call(which I moved back home to Florida,jumping my bond)saying that I had missed my court date and a warrant had been issued for my arrest.At this point I went back to Alabama to handle my charges like a man...this is when I found out that he did not know the first thing about my case. He told me that the search warrant meant nothing,and that if I did not cop out to the charges today that I would be taken into custody and jailed until they decided to have another trial..Picking the lesser of two evils, I was forced to cop out to the theft charge.they gave me five years felony probation,with no time served,and this is the only charge I have ever had.I could go on and on about how they stole my legally purchased firearm and I also have another lawsuit for false arrest(completely unrelated).
Obviously I was railroaded by this system,I have to make this all go away.I cant believe a person could have there whole life effected like this and that they could get away with the civil rights violations that they did to me.I have been looking for someone to help me for so long that it feels like a hopeless cause,I have called lawyers,I have asked for help in every direction I can imagine,I am alone on this.Honestly I cannot live in a world where this could happen and could also happen to my children.I am so determined to put an end to it I would almost be willing to do anything.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
