" Until I'm found competent, I don't see how that is relevant. I have retained counsel. I would like counsel to come forward and represent me, Mr. McAfee in the background. "
Due process of law, therefore, in the prosecution of contempt, except of that committed in open court, requires that the accused should be advised of the charges and have a reasonable opportunity to meet them by way of defense or explanation. We think this includes the assistance of counsel, if requested, and the right to call witnesses to give testimony, relevant either to the issue of complete exculpation or in extenuation of the offense and in mitigation of the penalty to be imposed. See Hollingsworth v. Duane, 12 Fed.Cas. 359, 360; In re Stewart, 118 La. 827; Ex parte Clark, 208 Mo. 121.
COOKE V. UNITED STATES, 267 U. S. 517 (1925)
"I remember one woman walking by," said Jason Washburn, a corporal in the US Marines who served three tours in Iraq. He told the audience at the Winter Soldier hearings that took place March 13-16, 2008, in Silver Spring, Maryland, "She was carrying a huge bag, and she looked like she was heading toward us, so we lit her up with the Mark 19, which is an automatic grenade launcher, and when the dust settled, we realized that the bag was full of groceries. She had been trying to bring us food and we blew her to pieces."
"During the course of my three tours, the rules of engagement changed a lot," Washburn's testimony continued, "The higher the threat the more viciously we were permitted and expected to respond. Something else we were encouraged to do, almost with a wink and nudge, was to carry 'drop weapons', or by my third tour, 'drop shovels'. We would carry these weapons or shovels with us because if we accidentally shot a civilian, we could just toss the weapon on the body, and make them look like an insurgent."
"what would be the capacity of law enforcement
and of the courts to SUPRESS this kind of SPEECH?" -Judge A. Howard Matz, PRE-TRIAL HEARING OF KILLERCOP.COM
I'm all a Twitter waiting to see your reaction, to my reaction, to your Treatment and the promised Restoration. You'll just die when you see what I have in store for everyone involved in the story in 2010.
In fact, don't even think about it, especially the cowards and babies! But always remember, children, evil only triumphs when good men or women do nothing.
THE END.

"A conference or hearing 'only' on a question of law." Okay, the word 'only' appears "clearly defined" to me. Kinda like the word no. And the word all.
A.K.A. THE CASE OF "A FACTUAL QUESTION OF WHOIS CONFUSED"
So, is judge A. Howard Matz incompetent, or did he break the law, and conspire with two other attorneys to do it? He did arrange the secret hearing personally...Lets ask The Wise Latina. CONFUSIUS
Since, by Judge A. Howard Matz' own ruling and decree, the factual question and thereafter NATURAL illegal finding, of one of the people's competence, or incompetence, thus and therefore said people need not be present in the room, or even the same state, before ONE finds them "incompetent" enough to be sent off for a mental "treatment." And said treatment may begin at anytime, before the finding of a fact!

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
