"I will employ such means as are consistent with TRUTH and HONOR"

To comprehend the extent of misconduct perpetrated by state actors (i.e., police, District Attorneys, Public Defenders, and multiple judges) in my unlawful arrest and wrongful conviction, we must first understand the law, how it was deliberately misapplied, and identify the actors who violated their Oath of Admission. "...I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Colorado..." As stated in the Colorado Supreme Court case, People v. Moreno (17 Colo. 488, 492 (Colo.1971): "To support the issuance of an arrest warrant, the complaint must comply with the probable cause requirements of the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 7 of the Colorado Constitution, and rules 3 and 4 of the Colorado Rules of Criminal Procedure". - Fourth Amendment to U.S. Constitution -- "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searc...

The numbers found in the report only account for those people for whom misconduct and malfeasance were identified and addressed. How many people have remain incarcerated because of deliberate manipulation and misuse of the criminal legal sys...
