SUPREME INJUSTICEby James P. Anderson After being wrongfully convicted and sentenced to California Death Row over 22 years ago (1979), the California Supreme Court "DENIED" my "DIRECT APPEAL" on May 14, 2001. (The decision for the Habeas Corpus Petition is still pending; it was filed by court-appointed attorney Alister McAlister). Documents and records are readily available that show every court appointed attorney representing me in court has had difficulties with the California Bar Association and has been "suspended from practicing law several times," including an alcoholic (Keith H. Long) who had seriously contemplated suicide "several times." The Attorney currently appointed (Alister McAlister) has proven himself to be "grossly incompetent," since his appointment by the Supreme Court in 1994. I actually wrote to the Supreme Court requesting that the court "Relieve" both Alister McAlister and California Appellate Project Attorney Aundre M. Herron as my Death Penalty Attorneys, because "NEITHER" would investigate relevant issues or obtain simple documents, records, articles etc. directly related to proving my innocence (most of these request could have been accomplished by a simple phone call). The Supreme Court failed to respond to my mailings. An example of the Attorney's "Gross Incompetence" is that I phoned McAlister on May 17, 2001 to inquire about time restraints on filing motions etc. After answering my questions McAlister stated, "Oh, by the way, the Supreme Court reached a decision on your case three days ago." When asked what the decision was (twice), McAlister simply repeated his statement, adding, "I'll send you a copy of the 73 page decision if you want me to." To date (20 days later), I have not received a copy of the Court decision. McAlister also waited until May 25, 2001 to file the required "Appellate petition for Rehearing." The court's time limit for filing this petition is 15 days; otherwise, any and all reversible issues that the Court "DID NOT" rule or reach a decision on, can "NEVER" be raised again in a court of law. However, McAlister only raised (cited) 0NE issue in his "Petition for Rehearing." Needless to say, there were/are "MANY" different issues that could've/should've been cited in this petition. (But with my NOT having a copy of the court's decision as a guideline or to refer to for specifics, it's impossible for me to name the specific issues or how many there are. It should be noted, too, that McAlister filed my Direct Appeal, Habeas Corpus and Appellate Petition for Rehearing without giving me the opportunity to review and/or discuss the contents prior to his submitting these petitions to the Court (defendant or appellate has the "Legal Right" to review all documents prior to filing). Equally important, McAlister confirmed during a December 2000 phone call that he had NEVER possessed or listened to six cassette taped interviews of a prosecution witness (Debbie Baros), whom the courts in two different states had deemed to be "Extremely Mentally ill and delusional." Also, the court "REFUSED" to allow "The Jury" to be informed of her mental state (this includes her having given birth to four different imaginary children, an imaginary car/truck accident in which one of the imaginary children was killed, an unadjudicated 1978 homicide statement that she knew I was a member of the Mafia (There are No African Americans in the Mafia) and that I possessed "Telepathic powers" etc., etc.). Ironically, while Debbie Baros invented or dreamed the four children described on the prosecution's cassette taped interviews, she actually had given birth to two children, but they were taken away from her by the State of New Hampshire in 1987 or 1988 as a result of her sexual abuse. Again, the jury was NOT informed of these facts. (These documents are accessible through the state of New Hampshire Child Protection Services.) Each person reading this article should also be informed that the victims of this crime were/are white, and that there were all white jurors (which is a Prima Fascie Wheeler Motion Mistrial). As well, I have in my possession court transcripts and a letter from a Municipal Court Judge that confirms and clearly states that the Prosecutor of the 1979 Trial intentionally lied to both the Trial Judge and Jury, stating that the states alleged witness (the person that actually committed the crimes) had been given a polygraph test to eliminate the witness as having been the perpetrator of the crimes, but the facts and record prove UNDOUBTEDLY that NO POLYGRAPH TEST was ever given to this alleged witness. A "PART" of the murder weapon was also found "IN THE JACKET POCKET OF THE WITNESS." All facts considered, I believe that any reasonably sound-minded person would agree that my conviction and sentence were politically motivated, and that "Racism" was/is a major factor. As a result of the ongoing medical neglect and deliberate indifference (see facts page), I'm unable to pursue legal research for both the legal and medical matters, and would appreciate any competent legal assistance in preparing petitions for the Court which would remedy both the wrongful conviction and medical matters.
