"AND I SAID THAT HE WAS ENTITLED TO [ASSISTANCE OF] COUNSEL AS OPPOSED TO HAVING A RIGHT TO COUNSEL." ~HILARY POSTASHNER, FEDERAL PUBLIC PRETENDER, CENTRAL DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA.

LOOMING

 

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular? But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

KILLERCOP HAS "NO RIGHT TO COUNSEL?"

A.K.A. The case of form over substance.

THESE ARE YOUR [CONSTITUTIONAL AND] STATUTORY RIGHTS. PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY.

YOU ARE "ENTITLED" TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL BY JURY OR BY A JUDGE ALONE IF JURY IS WAIVED.

YOU ARE "ENTITLED" TO BE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AT ALL STAGES OF THE PROCEEDINGS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR MEANS TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY, I WILL APPOINT AN ATTORNEY TO RE-PRESENT YOU WITHOUT COST OR EXPENSE TO YOU. HOWEVER, YOU MUST FIRST SUBMIT A FINANCIAL AFFIDAVIT FORM WHICH I MUST APPROVE.

YOU ARE "ENTITLED" TO SEE AND HEAR THE EVIDENCE AND WITNESSES AGAINST YOU AND TO CROSS-EXAMINE THOSE WITNESSES.

YOU ARE "ENTITLED" TO SUBPOENA WITNESSES AND COMPEL THE PRODUCTION OF OTHER EVIDENCE ON YOUR OWN BEHALF.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE COURT CONSIDER THE CONDITIONS OF YOUR BAIL RELEASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BAIL REFORM ACT OF 1984.

THE CLERK: "HILARY, CAN YOU MAKE ON THE RECORD THAT KILLERCOP REFUSED TO SIGN HIS STATEMENTS."

HILARY POTASHNER: YES, YOUR ODER. KILLERCOP DOES NOT BELIEVE HE UNDERSTANDS THAT FORM WELL ENOUGH TO SIGN, THE [CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS] FORM.

THE COURT:

ALL RIGHT. YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WITH HIM THIS MORNING. HE HAS READ THE FORM THIS MORNING?

MS. HILARY POTASHNER: NO, I WAS NOT THERE WITH HIM WHEN HE READ IT. HE STARTED AT THE TOP OF THE FORM TELLING ME THAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHO THE PLANTIFF WAS. AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME TO GO THROUGH THE FORM POINT BY POINT.

ANOTHER THING THAT CONFUSED KILLERCOP WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ENTITLEMENT AND A RIGHT.

AND I SAID THAT HE WAS"ENTITLED"TO COUNSEL AS OPPOSED TO HAVING A RIGHT TO COUNSEL. SO, IT WAS ON THAT LEVEL THAT THERE WAS A
NON UNDERSTANDING TO THE FORM."

BESIDES, HERE AT THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC PRETENDERS OFFICE, WE WORK FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND HUGE CORPORATIONS, SECRETLY, LIKE GLOBAL CROSSING. AND WE PREFER FORM OVER SUBSTANCE!!

WE ARE TRAINED TO CONVINCE EVERYONE TO PLEAD, BEG AND GROVEL, AS GUILTY. WE ARE EVEN TRAINED TO FALSELY CONFESS FOR THEM. AND TO COVER UP TORTURE.

BUT FOR A MOMENT, IN THE PRESENT-TENSE, NOT THEN, LET'S FORGET ABOUT THAT FORM.

WHERE IS THIS FORM REQUIRED BY THE LAW, WHICH DEFENDS THE RIGHT NOT TO BE TRIED? IS THIS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT? OR AM I NOW LEFT TO GUESS?

UNACCEPTABLE!

REMEMBER THAT LITTLE THING CALLED "DUE PROCESS" THAT SOMEONE; WHO REMAINS HIDEN BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN, LEFT OUT OF THE "ENTITLEMENT" FORM ABOVE? OPPPPS.

ALONG WITH OTHER RIGHTS.

LET ME GUESS, ANOTHER "MISTAKE??"

DON'T BELIEVE ME? NEED A SECOND OPINION?

THIS IS NOW WAR, OPENLY DECLARED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, IN BLACK AND WHITE. AND I HEARD THE FIRST SHOT FIRED AT ME, 12 YEARS AGO, LIKE A SHOT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD. YOU WON'T HEAR THE LAST ONE. IF YOU ARE LUCKY. AND PRUDENT.

AM I BEING CLEAR? GOOD, THEN I AM A HUMAN BEING CLEAR. BUT NOT A HUMAN BEING. PROBABLY.
