Dear JLI ;
 Reading your article in the Guild
 Notes Vol. 45, 2020 and I do agree 100%
 and then some that the legal system in
 the U.S. needs to transform. It needs
 to grow and not remain a system of
 Prejudice and bias, only to support justice
 for the few. Our legal system is BOGUS,
 artificial in its failure to reciprocate true
 justice, equality, and due process for all people ...
 human beings. The system is extremely
 bias to prisoners seeking to exonerate
 themselves as pro se litigators, and just
 as bias of jail house lawyers seeking to help
 others.
 In my 22 years incarcerated in the
 Georgia Department of Corrections, (GDC);
 by the way Georgia system does not
 believe in correcting anyone ... GDC is
 just warehouses for human beings; I have
 -1-
 witnessed and experienced much of the state
 & federal legal system's prejudice and bias
 actions. Whereby the counts and working
 with GDC will breach, infringe, violate,
 discredit, fabricate, contradict, confiscate,
 deprive, ignore, remove, destroy, vanquish,
 isolate and transfer you when as pro se,
 there are clear undisputed facts, grounds for
 rescinding your criminal conviction or
 presenting a civil action case with merits.
 In my experience also, I find that
 many so called help groups speak the same
 redundant phrases, words such as ... "change
 will not happen until we strengthen the
 power of people". I've read and heard it
 all put many different ways, but guess
 what ?!?! In 22 years it has only
 gotten worse where the people don't
 care and are so misinformed and mis-
 lead by government and the media.
 There are thousands of innocent men,
 women, fathers, mothers, sisters of brothers,
 family love ones incarcerated doing longer
 sentences than those men and women
 whom are truly criminal minded in nature.
 And to mention the thousands of us
 Veterans whom have harsher sentences
 also, who are not criminal minded.
 I've been transferred 15 times and
 at one point of any litigation I was trans
 ferred to 7 prisons in 7 years because
 -2-
 I was pro se ad have no family in Georgia
 having Been a soldier stationed at Ft Benning,
 Columbus, GA in 1997. I've been doing
 battle with the legal system of GDC; able
 to keep bringing my case back to the courts
 because I've learned to think outside
 the box and it helps that I have a valid
 jurisdiction issue, as well as a breach
 of contract and right to counsel issue on
 first direct appeal.
 Yet even thoughI have several valid
 Constitutional grounds ... I still sit here
 incarcerated for felonies I did not commit.
 I've written many attorneys and groups that
 say and claim they can and want to
 help incarcerated people but
 none every really want to rock the
 boat enough to make the necessary
 Changes need in America's society:
 And, power to a few people is not it.
 Most people are ignorant and not well
 educated to comprehend what the
 federal government vs. the government
 are, let alone the law with it's
 various levels of execution. If all the
 help group want to make a time and lasting
 Change for the betterment of the People
 then it's time to push for better educ
 ation in our schools and colleges, service to
 our Nation with allegiance and pledge
 to our Flag. Most people don't ever
 realize or know the "Pledge of Allegiance"
 -3-
 says "... one Nation" ..."indivisible with
 liberty and justice for all ".
 Well we don't act as if we are one
 nation for we are divided in many ways,
 ie, color, race, religion, sexual behavior,
 and politics just to name a few major issues.
 But how will this Nation stand if we remain
 divide between a Republican Vs a Democrat?
 What ever happen to just being an American ??
 Do you know that when you travel to other
 Countries the people there see you as being
 an American and not all the other divided
 lables we put on ourselves. Government
 and the media keep The people divided to
 keep people under control so the few can
 do as they please ... the very rich
 corporations & people (families) in power
 keep it that way. And The people, well,
 their happy with the hand outs free
 food money housing, not realizing
 the Constitution Rights they will
 give up and loose. "A population of Sheep,
 in time, will surely beget a government of Wolves."
 Thomas Jefferson said it well... "A society that will
 trade a little liberty for a little order will deserve
 neither and loose both." Look at the 2021
 Presidential Election ad during swearing-
 of the new President ... where were all the
 People, citizens ? ? D. C. reminded me
 of one would see in Russia on China !!
 For what it is worth, I gave you my
 2 cents. Would like a response, peace be
 within you all .

 RE: Jailhouse Lawyers Initiative: Practice Modules International Human Rights Law
 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Bernstein;
 I've done what I can to provide a response
 to the questions this course provides. If there is
 anything else need to be completed please address
 the matters withme a I will do my best to
 get it done. Thank you both.
 I. Introduction to Lesson ; Discussion Question:
 Human Rights to me are rights that every
 Person, human being, sentient beings possesses.
 Rights that are endowed simply because ones
 essence, spirit has been gifted with life...
 Suth into this realm. Rights that should
 not be denied now, taken from any sen-
 tient being without a just cause. And
 -1-
 cause for one can only be a violation of
 a primary universal law of ... "First
 do not harm ... self and others."
 Being a ZenBushi , I followa warrior's
 path . I am a practicing Buddhist, I
 know as a human being action is required to
 do what is righteous ... protecting others.
 Hence, l
 "Preserve rather them distroy; avoid
 rather than check; check rather than
 hurt ; hurt rather than maim; maim
 rather than kill; for all life is
 precious, nor can any be replaced."
 - Bushido
 Most important Human Right to protect is the
 " Right to Freedom the pursuit of happiness."
 However, the sad thing is that the " US.
 Constitution's Bill of Rights" and the "13th
 Amendment " and the "14th" Amendment do
 exist but are most difficult to obtain.
 "We The People " no longer comprehend
 the magnitude of these rights let alone,
 know how to ensure those rights are not
 violated by the government (Federal and
 State entites). To put it plainly ...
 people are ignorent about government.
 Today's America (the alleged United States
 of America) seems to believe it is better to
 always be political correct than to rock
 the boat... to stand up for truth, justice,
 -2-
 equality. The righteous path is alway more
 difficult to walk but sometimes lifte gifts
 humanity with a person who sets the ex-
 ample to call others to follow. But all to
 often humanity bites back and that person
 has hisacher like cut short. However, life
 is a cycle a we as a human beings often
 repeat our mistakes made by our ancestors.
 People, the human species will have to make some
 hard choices to over come our ignorance; to
 move beyond the greed, the hate, the anger,
 the delusion fabricated by Governments.
 But first we must come together to see
 that humanity is just one small speck of
 dust afloat in the vast space we call a
 universe. If we cannot cometogether ...
 our existence, the human species, will be
 cut short . We must make some hard
 choices or else our cycle of destruction will
 continue to be exploited by the government
 corporations that place fear and suffering
 over peace and joy.

 Really !! Which rights are respected,
 protected and fulfilled in the U.S. ...
 "NONE OF THEM -ALL OF THEM ARE
 FREQUENTLY VIOLATED !! "
 My answer hero is simply the fact. If one
 ses clearly with half a brain or possesses any
 understanding of how US. conducts it
 political agendas, government, corporate
 managements. Then one should have the
 insight to see that the US. is not really in
 the business of establishing any actual
 concrete civil on human rights for people,
 now for any other nation's people.
 Just look at the historical record of the US.
 I say this because the very system of govern-
 ment this Nation was built upon has
 its flaws and early on some of the
 "Founding Fathers" forseen the potential
 for this newly formed government
 of freedom to be transformed into
 -4-
 tyranny. Not necessary for one person as a
 tyrant but in the US ..... the STATE/
 FEDERAL Corporations have become a legal
 person with rights and tyranny has prevailed.
 [COMPARE] "Experience hath shown, that
 even under the best forms of [government]
 those entrusted with power have in time,
 and by slow operation, perverted into tyranny. "
 "A society that will trade a little liberty for a
 little order will deserve neither and lose both. "
 "Resistance to tyrants is the obedience to God. "
 "I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hos-
 tility against every form of tyraning over the
 mind of man. "
 (All) -Thomas Jefferson, 3d President
 of the US. 1743-1826
 In the US. today ... freedom and the
 pursuit of happiness are illusions. How
 does the simple, ordinary person go up
 against a corporation (STATE/FEDERAL enties)
 that do not physically exist to sit in court
 next to the district attorney opposite of a
 petitioner and his attorney?
 What civil and human rights can one
 actually prevail in the any STATE or FEDERAL
 Judicial System structured to favor the STATE or
 FEDERAL corporations. The historical proof is in
 fact that most all the gaines made for civil and
 -5-
 human rights come into existence 40-50
 years ago. The government is broken
 and political, governmental, corporate,
 changes must occur in the US. Our Nation
 is not " Home of the Brave, Land of the Free"
 when people remain ignorent under political,
 governmental, corporate tyranny causing
 the people to remain silent to afraid
 to act or to state the truth.. Sadly, if one
 is not political correct in one's actions and
 speech . One will soon have their civil and
 human rights stripped away ... violated.
 No there are no patterns in how the STATE
 or FEDERAL governments operates. They just simply
 do it ... violate civil and human rights when
 it becomes convenient. This is all the time
 until someone with enough backing is done
 wrong. Then that person may be left alone
 by the STATE of FEDERAL government(s) for a
 period of time or until some government
 employee figures out a loophole, then starts
 to go after that person again. The battle is on going.
 Reflection Question:
 I have no list ... when I see that all
 civil and human rights have continued in
 this world regardless of governments, Nations
 signing or ratifying any bill or treaty.
 Throughout the history of humankind,
 one group has violated the rights of another
 group. And the US. government are no different.

 I am a simple man and simplicity is
 natures way. It is life at its best. what
 life is about. Life is itself simple.
 For me all the rules, laws, policies etc, etc.
 are foolish when there is one simple rule
 all can live by that covers everything .
 [ "1st do no harm"... to self and others e
 xcept in the defense of life. ]
 In the western society, " The Christ" put
 it another way ... " Love thy neighbor"
 and " Do to others what you would have
 them do to you. "
 How much simpler can it be put?
 " Probably all laws are useless; for good man
 do not want laws at all, and bad men are
 made no better of them ."

 Everyone, all people should have the right
 to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
 But we all know it is not being done...

 Activity 4
 Reflection
 No ! Local gounment officiale do
 not respect anyones civil right!! Especially
 here in the southern states. I'm incar-
 cerated in the state of Georgia and from the
 start of my ordeal. I have had my civil
 rights repeatedly violated with prejudice.
 Below are some of the key events. .. my
 Prima facie facts/evidence.
 In the July of 197, my and rights were violated
 when I was wrongfully shot in the lowerback
 and right leg by a deputy sheriff in County,
 Georgia with a shotgun. I would have
 died that day had I not swiftly turn and
 ran into an open feild when he first raise
 his shotgun towards me ( 10 meters away).
 I had no weapon in my hands so I bolted
 off in the opposite direction other officers in
 pursute. When at 30 meters I was hit from
 behind, thrown in the air by Deputy
 Shotgun. I ran because Deputy and
 his Sheriff have been shooting
 -8-
 at me while I was in my cherry pickup
 for hours ... I was not willing to come
 out after they disabled my truck by
 shooting out all four times just after
 ran me off, the road in a botchel
 spinout attempt, hitting the pickup in
 the rear. Besides, I was the wrong
 skin color in a small town in Georgia.
 The shift and deputy misused deadly
 force as I never posed a threat of any kind
 to any officer or person there at the scene.
 It was about a 5 hour stand off where
 they both did $5,000.00 dollars of damage
 to my pickup (Insurance fay out). Using
 their shotguns and 45 pistol, they were
 trying to kill me in my truck. I was
 not stepping out ... but when my back
 window Klinally started to fall out.
 I had no choice but to run out of my
 truck as I saw what was coming
 next ... a firetruck with a water canon.
 Other officers were there, (Redacted) P.D.
 GA. they Patrol, but none took part in the
 shooting at one even after I let them
 know l had a weapon. But when
 I was on the road just before the deputy
 shot me in the back. I had stood there
 with my hands in the air no weapon
 in than). The weapon was zipped up in
 my pouch. I never pointed at any one or
 posed a threat to any officer warrenting Dep.
 to shoot me. No other officer did
 and as I ran into the field.
 Right to access justice & Right to be
 -9-
 fortune and other cruel inhuman or degrading
 treatment of punishment ... in violation
 of UDHR /ICCPR/CAT
 The wrongful use of force (excessive, deadly
 force ) by two deputy officers of the law vio-
 lated the rights not to be caused severe pain and
 suffering; not to be punished without trial;
 or arrested by excessive, deadly force.
 Likewise, the prosecutors, judges and defense
 attorneys did far worse to me, My bullet
 wounds have long healed with little pain remain-
 ing. But the violations at my trial, sentencing
 and post trial remedies caused me far greater
 pain and suffering that cut into my heart and
 mind. I lost two decades plus with my
 kids, family, love ones that I can never
 get back. The hardship, the suffering, the
 loss my love ones , I will never know...
 the fact 's they will not know mine either.
 I have lost my kids to time and there are
 now grandkids that do not know me at all.
 And if not for my sister I would know nothing
 of what my kiss went through without me
 in their lives. I suffered mentally and
 emotionally for a bit but it still cuts
 deep in my heart to know my kids suffered
 without me ... vindictive Ex-wife.
 I lost my father in 2009, and a brother
 in 2019 and two uncles, and a aunt, and one
 cousin in these past two decades.
 Because of prosecutors prejudicial protection,
 the judges failures to comport justice and equality,
 -10-
 and the defense counselor's omeffective
 assistance at trial and appeal phase. I
 now sit incarcerated with a (redacted) year
 Sentence to serve (redacted) years to mit, the Secondary
 case gave me (redaced) years
 to serve (Redacted) years. (run concurrent)
 No judicial officer cared if my rights
 were violated during the trial or post trial
 Phases nor did any of them care that as
 an active duty service member, I was shot in
 the back, deadly forced use in an arrest, that I
 was wrongly tried in a state forum rather
 than UCMJ jurisdiction, toant , I never
 waived my military jurisdiction. Plus
 no one cared that I had no appeal coun-
 selor for my first direct appeal in my 40
 year sentence and spent my first .... 4 years
 incarcerate in a stateprison on active duty
 status. My civil & constitutional rights
 were seriously violated by state officials.
 [ shot in July 1997 - put out of the Army
 in September of 2001] All civil and
 Constitutional violation accured to me
 still as an active duty soldier. US Army
 knew they screwed up and gave me, ...
 Otherthan Honorable Discharge, but 3
 months short of allowing me a 20 year
 retirement.
 Prison officials are no better and I've
 had a numerous civil and constitutional
 violations occured over the past two plus
 -11-
 decades, I have had religious and legal materials
 confiscated and destroyed. Officials would confiscate
 and destroyed. Officials would confiscate the materials
 as access property ... then refuse to allow me to
 send the materials home as an indigent prisoner.
 Contrary to GDC policy. (GA Dept. of Corrections)
 I was also denied legal mail rights to send
 and receive in a timely manner. I was
 forced to mis court deadlines loosing civil
 cases. Plus at one point I was placed on
 the bus for transfer missing court deadlines.
 I was sent to Seven prisms in seven years
 spending 3-4 months to 16 months at
 one prison. Mail system in prison is broken
 and it takes months at times before your mail
 catches up to you ... a week dely is costly in court.
 Here the right to contact theoutside
 world; the right to property; the right
 to access education; the right to access in for-
 mation were all violated. UDHR /ICCPR/
 Mandela Rules
 The GA Board of Pardons & Parole Is just as
 broken and corrupt and caused just as much
 Suffering mental and emotional pain as
 the judicial system. The frustration comes
 when there is no valid legal reason not
 to make parole as per the law allows , but
 the parole board claims unfettered discretion
 to deny parole at any time for any reason.
 The board members are petty tyrants and unjust
 officials. By Law I was eligible to Parole in 2005.
 -12-
 However, I was given a TPM (Tenative
 Parole Month) of July 2028 (90% of my sentence
 prior to parole eligibility). I sought civil action
 and before I could complete the process. The board
 dropped my TPM to July 2015. It was still not
 right, contrary to established law at the time
 of my arrest. I sought another civil action
 that took years to get a response through
 the judicial process. My TPM remained at
 2015 but I have been denied parole
 four times for frivolous reasons. I
 still st wrongfully incarcerated and the
 parole board has pushed back my parole
 (TPM) to July 2028. So they still have
 manage to force me to do 90% of my
 sentence contrary to established stadel and
 federal law. I have copies of the boards deniels.
 The Billof Rights, 14th Amendment do
 not carry much weight when your just one
 indigent prose petitioners behind bars.
 And I really don't see where International
 Laws & Treaties will change much in the
 U.S. The US. may sign bills and
 treaties even ratify some of them
 but that still does not mean govern-
 ment officials will stop violations of
 civil and human rights in the US.
 Our historical record shows that the
 people will always suffer at the needs
 of State/Federal government and its
 corporations. Yet, I will never give
 up on this righteous battle for my freedom
 and pursuit of happiness.

 ment or punishment.

 2) CATIC/USA/CO 2, Paragraph 19
 Of which Mr. statement of
 being placed into isolation for 22 years did
 inflict both mental a physical suffering.
 Where by punishment was intentionally
 inflected because he would not turn informant.
 Critical Reflection:
 A. This is an account of what happens to me
 Right to medical care (UDHR / ICESCR/Mandela
 Rule/Bangkok Rules)
 During my arrest attempt in 1997, the
 deputy shooting me in the lower back and right
 leg with his shot gun did try to kill me. He
 would have if I did not turn away to rum. Plus
 it help he did not know how to lead with
 his shotgun. Hence 6 of the 12 rounds of shot
 missed me at about 30 meters away.
 From the inception of my incarceration
 I was forced to endure physical and mental pain
 and suffering because of extremely poor medical
 care. After just 3 days in the county hospital I
 was forced to walk with crutcher through
 the hospital into the back seat of a police
 care and taken to the county jail. Struggling
 with the crutches was extremely painful,
 when my right femme was fractured It had
 a rod placed in it. I was no in a leg brace
 nor cast ... painful, yes, but also humiliating.
 -15
 I were only an hospital gown that was
 not tied doute - my whole back side
 was completely exposed to the public.
 In three days my leg was still swollen
 and I could not bend my knee at all.
 But offices still had me slide into the
 back seat of their patrol car and again I was
 in severe pain.
 Once in the county jail, I was placed
 in a one man cell with an older guy. He was
 on the bunke. I was forced to sleep on the floor
 in a boot with no way to elevate my right right
 leg. My leg swelled twice its size from my ankle
 to my hip. Thepain and suffering became
 worse. I struggled just to get to the tolet and
 it was a meter away. It was worse trying to
 sit on the toilet where one round still remained
 in me where I need to sit and I could not
 bend my right leg at all . This went on
 for months and no physical therapy because
 of the extreme swelling of my whole leg.
 County jail medical records can verify the
 swelling and the jail house records can verify the
 one man cell I was in July of 1997 to about April
 1998. Where there was no physical therapy nor alowd
 to go outside for yard . Some time later I was put in
 an over crowded 12 man cell were I was on the floor
 for a few months Then moved to a 4 man cell where
 I remained till I went to the State Prison system.
 By then I was doing my own P. T. d and got way better
 yardtime.
 I spent from July 1997 to December 1998
 dealing with my physical and mental pain and
 suffering alone. I have no family in Georgia.
 -16-
 I was stationed at Fort Benning and my
 military chain of command stop caring
 to see me within 4 months after being
 wrongfully gundown by the deputy. Over all
 I only have my command see me F
 our times. With no one to talk to and
 no support from the Army ... 1 began to
 slip into a very dank place and needed
 a way out. Body weak in sever pain, with a
 broken right femur caused by one of the
 rounds. That round later had to be removed
 because it caused me sharp hard pain every
 time I tried to walk. It was sitting right
 on top of my nemes. Likewise, my mind
 was fractured into a thousand pieces as I
 experienced all the emotions from one extreme
 to the other ... anger, hate sorrow, pity. When
 alone I even broke down and cried. But what
 tore at one the most was fear of the un-
 know... this dankness within me was growing.
 I spent just over a year and a half for my
 final trial and did not know what to expect
 ~ a state prison. I ended up at
 Prison with a darkness in me.
 The violations & protected treates:
 1) Right to justice violated; UDHR/ICCPR/
 Mandela Rule
 2) Right to medical care violated; UDAR/
 ICESCR/Mandela Rule/Bangkok Rule
 -17-
 3 ) Right to be free from torture and other
 cruel, inhuman, or degrading
 treatment or punishment was
 violated. UDHR/ ICCPR/
 Convention against Torture ... (CAT)/
 Mandela Rule / Inter-American
 CPPT
 4) Right to contact with the outside
 world was also violated.
 UDHR /ICCPR / Mandela Rule
 Added # 4 ... being in a one man cell and
 the four man cell had no phones and
 it was extremely difficult to get any
 guard to let you out to go use the phone,
 could not call my family or chain of command
 when I needed to 1.
 B. Really, all experiences occurring in a prison
 are some form of a violation of human
 rights or laws. A human being incarcerated
 after 5 years become comes affected by the
 poison if he is weak in body, mind, and spirit.
 I was blessed to find any way out of that dank
 place. After 23 years, and (redacted) more to
 max out I've to the conclusion that
 it does not matter what an indigent
 pro see prisoner does in the "STATE OF GEORGIA's"
 corrupt judicial system ... the courts/judges/
 prosecutors/and even defense attornies will allow
 -10-
 a pro se prisoner with no collateral to
 succeed in obtaining his freedom. Even if
 that prisoner has clear, vested Constitution
 Law or "STARE DECISIS" grounds for relief...
 that prison will not be allowed to prevail
 in any court. "The Good O'Boy" system
 is alive and well practiced accross this
 Nation, expecially in the southern states.
 Truely how can any person prevail
 against the government corporation when
 all attorneys, district attorneys, and judges
 are all loyal to members of the same
 Bar Association ??
 Jus compare, form the past four
 decades, how many cases have been
 won in the cants ... have prevailed
 compared to the millions of men and
 women that The United States have
 incarcerated . It is their courts their system.
 It simply does not matter if the pro see or
 with an unskilled attorney for defense mos...
 it simple won't allow prisoners their
 freedom:
 Serious change is needed the judicial system
 where words like truth, justice, and equality
 have been twisted and fall empty, powerless
 before the courts ... judges who come from the
 Bar Association. There needs to exist a completely
 Seperate path to judgeship with no ties to the
 Bar Association on to any political party.
 America was never meant to be divided
 by political factions of any kind or states rule.
 There was a time when America was
 -19
 "One Nation...indivisible with liberty
 and justice for all." Look how far we
 have fallen as "We The People "
 I do see a need to bring all Nations under
 one Civil Law (Common Law) for the one
 world we now all exist on. Maybe there
 is a better way to advocate for better fair-
 ness and justice by adding International Human
 Rights Law in to Stateof Federal formulas.
 But one still is stuck within their judicial
 System with its wide spread corruption
 It is a system that has more loopholes and
 red tape than any other in the US.
 However, I will always advocate for the
 truth, justice and quality of all sentient beings,
 I will do my best to bring down this corrupt
 system and open the doors of freedom
 for my fellow prisoners, people.
 I still believe "the pen is nighter than
 the sword. " But as a warning ( US Army
 Ranger) I will never gave up the righteous
 battle for truth, justice, & equality
 "Though I be the lone survivor ,
 Rangers Lead the Way. "
 Thank you for this opportunity to broden
 my skills and help others. Sorry but I
 had to put some of any personal views in it.
 Peace and joy be within you all.
 Respectfully
 :)

 RE:
 Response to your JLIN
 Issue #3 | April 2022
 Dear Tyler Watson, ESQ ;
 I see all the time in groups or agencies
 that put out newletters asking for information on how
 to help ... but I never see where help has been
 given and the requester (prisoner) walk out of
 prison . Please don't get me wrong ... you
 and all the people out there mean well and
 even provide a valid need for many
 of the incarcerated people, to include my-
 self. But most of us, still sit behind
 these walls wondering when all this support
 is going to really make a difference for
 us all ??
 I myself have over 20 years in prison
 for felonies that were fabricated by the
 DA here in Georgia ( , Ga ) , As
 a jailhouse lawyer from the start of
 -1-
 my incarceration in 1978 ... I've wittenad
 called "100s" of attorneys, agencies, groups,
 etc etc, asking for assistance is any form.
 The answers are always the same in the
 end ... they are sorry they can not assist
 me ... provide names of other groups or
 agencies ... then tell me not to give
 up. Hell, I'm incarcerated for
 felonies l did not commit. I'll never
 give up till 1 clean my name)!!
 My point here is that even if one
 has a valid. .. 100% and then some...
 violation of one's Constitution Rights...
 No one really cares to put their" head
 on the block" to assist you.
 On my own I've filed 100's of
 documents/pleadings/motion for my
 fellow prisoners and myself. And unless
 you have a honest-just judge you will
 never get out of prison. And lets
 take my case for instance : I received
 a (Redacted) year sentence to spend (Redacted) years
 (Redacted) on parole and (Redacted) years to serve
 (Redacted) with (Redacted) on parole. I won't get
 into all the details but my case was
 split into two to ensure a conviction.
 -2-
 I know it have valid issue because on my
 own I have had my "writ of Certiorari" to
 the US Supreme Can't excepted four (4)
 times now [denied # 14 Jan. 2020 (3rd time) ;
 denied Jan . 10 , 2022 case (Redacted)) (4" time) ;
 Petition for Rehearing denied Man. 21, 2022]
 But I learned early on that the
 courts will not allow indigent pro see
 prisoners prevail in their counts.
 Oh ... some of my valid issues ... (1)
 shoot in the back and (R) leg by a deputy sheriff (w)
 with a shotgun during an arrest (misuse
 of deadly force) and lived (my skin is brown);
 (2) reindicted 3 times, case split in to two
 cases, one charge to face 200 years ;
 (3) juny found one not guilty of (Redacted) and
 (Redacted) which does not place me at
 the alleged crime scene but court allowed
 (Redacted) and (Redacted) to
 stand with on evidence, to support alleged
 felonies that indict state some state some crime scene,
 date/time; (4) I never had an appointed
 attorney for my direct appeal for the (Redacted)
 year sentence; (5), at times arrest
 I was a US Army Active Duty Service member,
 never waived UCMJ rights/junediction,
 -3-
 I had right to UCMJ ... plus I spent the
 first 4 years in state custody (prison)
 as a service member. US Army knew
 they screwed up and could not dishonorably
 discharge me. jurisdiction issue is valid.
 I have 8th/ 6th/14th Amendment
 violations that are well established
 as "law of the land" but the courts will
 not grant me relief. I have 6 ( SIX )
 more years to max out my (Redacted) years;
 plus I’ve been parolable since
 2005 fu GA law, you tell me
 where the problem is ? I know that
 the entire judicial system is corrupt
 and in their courts...all judge and kings-
 tyrants and there courts.
 But if you really want to make a
 differents... start with one and we
 can open the door to 1000's of Veterans
 that are stuck in Georgia's corrupt system.
 I'm not the only Veteran stuck.
 I awant your prompt response and peace
 be within you. I will never give up
 the righteous battle for justice and
 equality.
 Respectfully,

 RE: Battling for Justice-Equality-Truth
 Dear Mr. Walton, Esq.
 I've been wrongfully incarcerated
 by the State of Georgia for over 20
 years now. I have 6 more years
 to maxout my (Redacted) years of incar-
 ceration with 10 years of probation.
 And in Georgia...probation is simply
 a way for the state to ensure you
 will be returning to prison to com-
 plete your protection behind bars.
 I've been diligently battling the
 Courts ... State & federal with several
 valid issue to have earned my pro se
 petitions the judicial blessing to
 reach the once hallowed grounds
 of the US Supreme Court ... four (4) times.
 I'm told the US Supreme Court only
 reviews about 250 pro se petition
 - 1 -
 for writ of certiorari a year. So you
 understand the uphill battles I have
 been engaged in. It is extremely
 frustrated to know your issues/com
 plaints are valid but no court will
 allow a prose indigent incarcerated
 prisoner overturn his unjust conviction
 from a truely corrupt state judicial
 system that does not comply
 nor comport any sence of true
 justice and equality for all people.
 Some would say, I just need to
 stop fighting the courts ...State of Georgia.
 But I can not...I'm a former
 US Army Ranger (SFC) and was raised
 in japan with strong loyalty and connection
 as a Zen-Bushi to never give up
 a righteous battle ... and not just for me.
 And besides, I'm not the
 only active-duty-service member the
 State of Georgia has tried, convicted
 sentenced, and incarcerated prior my
 discharge from active duty service.
 Yes, jurisdiction is one major issue
 I have in any case...I never waived
 my rights to UCM jurisdiction
 A second major issue is the
 state of Georgia the count never provided
 me with an attomey/counsel for
 -2-
 my first direct appeal for my Muscoge Co.
 Superior Court case (Redacted), Where
 I was forced to file any direct appeal as pro-
 se without the assistance of Counsel in the
 GA Court of Appeals, case (Redacted) [TRY TO
 SEE THE RECORDS]
 Another major issue is the fact, undisputable,
 that the jury did fine me not guilty of
 (Redacted) and (Redacted) ...which does not
 place me in the presence, nor at the
 scene of the allegation in the indictment
 as constructed/ fabricated by the prosecutor.
 But yet the court allowed(Redacted)
 And (Redacted) to stand
 without merit or facts to support them.
 Originally I was facing only a (Redacted)
 charge but my case was split into two
 cases, three indictments later facing a
 total of 100 years each case. (Marion Co.
 Superior CA. case (Redacted) was tried first)
 The reason is because of excessive use
 of deadly force during my arrest. The issue
 here is I was wrongfully gundown
 by a deputy (w) who shot me in the back
 and right leg with his shotgun after
 exiting my pickup, running into an open-
 feild. He would have killed me had
 I not turned and ran... at 10 meters I
 would be dead but at 30 meters half
 of the 12 rounds hit me from behind.
 -3-
 The deputy alleged I had a weapon in my
 had and pointed it at him. I never
 posed a threat to anyone with my weapon.
 It was zipped up in my pouch when I
 was shot down. Other officer were at the
 scene and none of them saw a weapon
 in my hand.
 I did not want to exit my truck
 where in a small town the deputy ran
 me off the road and he along with
 his shouff began to shoot at me
 without cause. they tried to kill me
 in my truck doing $5000.00 worth of 45
 and shotgun damage. (insurance claim)
 Hell, I was the wrong color and not about
 to come out after they started shooting
 at me. It's the South...Georgia !!!
 But I lived to tell it and no one cares.
 Especially the courts in the south !!
 It was when the DA discovered that
 there was no (Redacted) (results from the (Redacted))
 that the 3 indictments followed be-
 cause I refused to take the plan offer
 for (Redacted). The excessive use of force
 (deadly force) is being covered up, courts
 refuse to address it?
 Also, State of Georgia did BREACH
 my military enlistment contract as a
 3 part interfering with the contract
 by keeping me in custody throughout
 -4-
 trials, sentencings, convictions, and incarceration
 from July 1997 - September 2001 ... when
 I was officially discharged from the US Army.
 [ON RECORD]
 The Army know they did me wrong
 and that is why I spent 4 years
 at smith state prison as an active
 duty semice member ... the Army gave
 me "an other than Honorable Discharge".
 And just as a final issue, I would
 parole but like most of my fellow Veters
 incarcerated by "the State of Georgia," can
 not make parole ... especially if you're
 not from Georgia. No parole address to parole
 to. I've been parolable since 2005
 by law and my TPM was in 2015. I'm
 being forced to max-out my 30 years.
 My Voice is being buried, hell the
 State have done well to keep me down.
 But I thought the US Supreme Court
 would be true justice, equality.
 Here are my last cases from the
 USSC : (1) (Redacted), cent Denied=10 Jan
 2022 ; Rehearing Denied = 21 Man, 2022 ;
 (2) (Redacted) Habeas Corpus = 28 USCA }
 2241, Denied 15 Oct. 2018; Rehearing
 Denied=22 Jan. 2019 ; (3) (Redacted), Cert.
 Denied = 12 Dec. 08; Reh. 9 Mar. 09 ; (4) (Redacted),
 Cert. Denied=21 Feb '06; Reh. = 17 Apr. 06; (5) (Redacted),
 Cert Dinied = 15 Nov. '04; Reh. = 22 Feb '05; (6) (Redacted)
 -5-
 Cert Denied = 23 Feb. 04. (all my use Cases)
 I don't expect any response from
 you ... like many other groups or people
 l write, the answers are aways
 the same . But if you can, just
 pass my letter, story on to someone
 you know that may be able to
 assist one in my battle for justice
 and equality and truth. Thank you. :)
 I will never stop battling a
 corrupt system and like so many of
 my fellow Veterans incarcerated in
 Georgia. The "oath" I took
 to defend this Nation from foreign
 and domestic enemy(s) still weighs
 heavy in my spirit. It is sad that
 So many of us Veterans incarcerated
 have no way home and have lost so
 much more. Not much has changed
 in the south for Veterans since Vietnam.
 And some of those Vets are still here
 with one ... no one truely cares.
 Thank you for your time and
 Peace be within you . I am a
 Jailhouse Lawyer member trying to
 make a difference pro se. I could
 use some real assistance .

 RE : Assistance if possible
 Dear Tyler Waltson;
 I've been assisting some of my fellow prisoners
 in there fight to freedom but just recently,
 I and others here in Georgia prisons have
 come to an imposed denial of the right
 to appeal ... to be more specific ... prisoners
 can no longer file an out-of time appeal
 in the trial court as of March 2022.
 *Cook Vs State
 Up un till this case, the courts
 historical allowed prisoners to fill out of
 time, appears in the dual court. Trial
 courts rendered a decision and you went
 toward from there.
 But now the GA Supreme Court
 enforces the rule/precedent to file
 an out of time appeal in the Habeas
 Court, which circonvents the Court
 of Appeal is render a decision to an out
 - 1 -
 of time appeal. The GA Court of Appeals
 refuses to rule on it a motion. And
 when you go to the county court for
 a Heabeas Court, the court denied
 jurisdiction by saying they are not the
 trial court and the motion was
 not file on a GA promulgated form.
 What the HC court/state court is making
 us do it but the out of time request
 on a Habeas Corpus form. If we do
 that the court will construe it as a HC
 motion and deny it because most guys,
 prisoners and past the 4 year mark
 under the GA Habeas Corpus Statutes.
 I've written to the county Court and
 requested the court to provide me with
 the correct promulgated form for out
 of time appeal and for a void sentence.
 Thus far there has been no response
 to that letter. Plus the law library
 does not have any forms that are need for
 the above motions, just the standard
 State HC forms and civil Action forms.
 What I need is for some one to give
 me relevent cites, laws that will stop
 GA from applying, Cook vs St to deny
 prisoner their right to seek a out of
 time appeal ( in the trial courts or court
 of Appeals). The habeas court has already
 denied several people in this person
 when they has never had an appeal
 from their jury trial on like myself
 never had an counsel of 1st direct appeal.
 -2-
 Well aware of "Law of the Land" precedent
 cases by the US Supreme Ct .; sucha: Gideon
 vs Wainwright (1963) ; Douglas Vs Calif. (1963) ;
 Cronic, (1984) ; Evitt vs Lacey (1985); etc,
 etc.
 But Courts here do not seem to care.
 GA Supreme in Atkins v Martin (1972)
 229 Ga 815 state, A writ & habeas corpus
 is never a substitute for appellate review
 to correct mere error of law"... " The
 function of the writ of habeas corpus is not
 to determine the guilt of innocence of a
 person accused of a crime and is not a sub-
 stitue for a review to correct error of law."
 Get now, all of the prisoners seeking
 their right to appeal /out of time appeal
 have to go to the Habeas court if you have
 facts/evidence of your innocence how
 can the HC court have juridiction
 over an out of time appeal when the
 appeal looks at guilt or innocence ?
 Can you help me out or point me to
 someone who can.
 Thank you for your prompt response
 to this ltte an peace be with you.
 Yes, I am a member :).

 RE: Information/Assistance
 Deaw Tyler Walton, Esq. ;
 Sir, I am most grateful to be a
 part of Jailhouse Lawyers Initiative and to
 receive all the information your program
 has sent to me. I have used somogy of it
 in cases I have worked on for some of
 the prisoners I have assisted.
 However, there is a group of us
 prisoners ...Veterans... that really
 need assistance in our cases as well.
 Veterans, like myself have some very
 strong issues that need to be addressed
 but the counts here in Georgia simply
 do as they please.
 -1-
 We, A and some assistance in these
 areas to free, Veterans from harsh
 and cruel sentencings and lack of juris-
 diction to try an active duty service
 member. EXAMPLES:
 1) GA lacks jurisdiction to try active
 duty service members but does
 without waives and even sends
 service members to prison who
 have not been discharged from the
 military.
 (There are 3 Veterans how incarcer,
 ated, tryed and convicted, while on activeduty)
 2) Service members and veterans always
 receive the maximum sentence, plus
 more serving time
 3) often without parole being provide
 or denied over and over again simply
 for being a veteran.
 Veterans cause the least problems in
 prison, are often working on details,
 but can not get parloled. In many
 cases, because Veterans are not from
 Georgia and have no address to parole
 to. Veterans are treated poorly as well.
 What I need is any assistance
 -2-
 you or any one in the program can
 provide me ie cases, research
 areas, any thing that can help me
 help our Veterans who can
 not get free for a Nation they served
 with honor.
 I'm sure the public has been
 kept in the dark about how Veteran
 have been treated by Georgia's corrupt
 judicial system.
 Please respond to this letter and
 I await your prompt response.
 Peace & joy be within you all this
 Holiday Season.
 Respectfully,
 prose, Veteran
 Ps: Another area is ... Veterans can not
 receive equal medical treatment be-
 cause state prison (in Georgia) does not
 allow its Veterans to receive VA medical
 care. So veterans suffer needlessly
 for things the state prison will not
 take care of. Need help!

Today's Prison Death
 28 Nov. 2023
 29 Nov 2023
 The foolishness and craziness and t
 he violence never stops no matter
 which prison I end up in. On this
 glorious day an officer female was
 harmed and two prisoners were stabbed.
 I should feel safety here at ,
 a private prion because there are
 more staff officers on duty during the
 Week day than my last prison… State Prison.
 But speaking from a professional
 stand point as former military senior
 non-commission-officer. The quality of
 and the training of prison staff/officers
 are just as poor, nonexisting at both
 state -of private prisons. It is truly part
 of the very real reason so many
 prisoners are being seriously harmed or
 Killed ... as well as officials in prison.
 Also true, is the fact that so many
 young people in prison (under 40 yrs old)
 have bent-minds ... being brought
 up, raised to believe violence is a
 first response to any type of dis-
 agreement, conflict they have with
 anyone. It is also, so sad to see
 when ignorant people pull out shanks
 (a blade) first and if it's a gang boy ...
 well, it may be shanks to jump on one
 guy.
 Doing time has shown me the
 ugliness of humanity which is not just
 the violence in prison It's also the
 thousands of people on the outside
 with their lackadaisical attitudes
 not to view prisoners ; nor care for
 the welfare of prisoners ... who are
 human being. People on the street tend
 to forget that prisoners are human beings,
 people, fathers, mothers, sons daughters,
 brothers sisters ... a dearly love one
 part of a family. A person stripped
 of not just his or her freedom but removed
 from their family. Whether incarceration
 was justly sought, lives were drastically damaged,
 families town apart, and sentencing often
 harsh, not always just. Families suffer
 more with a love one incarcerated.
 It is horrific for a family to find
 out that their love one will not be
 returning home because he or she was
 killed in prison ... over a conflict that
 did not have to end in a death.
 Overall, staff and officers are at fault,
 not able to adequately ensure a safe
 prison environment exist in prison.
 Improperly framed prison officials
 with poor attitudes and seriously lacking
 the necessary skills need to work in
 a prison setting is a cause for prison
 violence and death/ killings.
 Sad it is that most killings and
 violence goes unnoticed by the public
 because news medias do not care to
 report prison violence. People are not
 well informed about prison life unless
 a family member gets involved in the
 true cause of a love ones death.
 When any ones life is unjustly
 taken, cut short from a violent prison
 act ... all of humanity suffers.
 Especially the suffering felt by prisoner's
 family ... he or she is not coming home.
 Peace be within you all
