Judge J. Randal Hall falls under Chief Judge Lisa Godbey Wood jurisdiction. In June 2016, Judge Lisa Godbey Wood's office was courteous enough to inform me to speak with the clerk of court about my complaint against Judge J. Randal Hall and his denial of Michael Christopher Blocker to a hearing.
Then in October 2016, Judge J. Randal Hall's response to Mr. Blocker's motion for reconsideration was the "wrong answer" as far as I am concerned. Apparently, my dissatisfaction was unclear or maybe it was clear. Regardless, I decided to look into Chief Judge Lisa Godbey Wood's history.
Here's what I discovered associated with Former Senator Charles Walker's "strange" prosecution case:
According to Scott Horton's article ( October 22, 2007 Harper's Magazine) http://harpers.org/blog/2007/10/the-justice-department-raises-a-rebel-yell-the-strange-prosecution-of-charles-walker/
"However, as promised, Thompson’s successor, Lisa Godbey Wood continued the investigation against Senator Walker. This investigation resulted in the indictment filed against Walker on 142 counts of mail fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy, including numerous counts related directly to his service as a member of the General Assembly. He was accused of “theft of honest services,” which is a standard prosecutorial approach to bringing federal charges against state officials accused of corruption. Following the usual pattern, the indictment was handed down at the beginning of the 2004 election season and was loudly trumpeted to the Georgia press."
Also, regarding Charles Walker, according to Stacey Eidson's article (March 11, 2015 MetroSpirit) http://metrospirit.com/next-chapter-charles-walker/#.WDH4cNIrLAU
“I don’t think you should use the criminal justice system as a weapon against your enemies,” Walker said. “I just don’t think you should use the criminal justice system as a tool in your own war chest in the game of politics. It’s not right.”
Especially when it comes to hurting other members of a person’s extended family, Walker said.
According to the Teresa Stepzinski (May 5, 2010 The Florida Times-Union):

I remind everyone that a 2007 simple burglary is at the root of all of this discourse. This matter could have been quietly resolved one year ago (2015) by vacating a life sentence because the 2007 expedited rape kit and DNA report NEVER supported a rape ever occurred.
In the words of U.S. District Judge Dudley Bowen as stated during Charles Walker's sentencing, "he wanted to send a message to other "would-be corrupt politicians." (MetroSpirit, 3/11/15)
Mr. Charles Walker is a prominent Black man who exhausted every angle to get justice and a fair hearing.
To Southern District of Georgia: Looks like its time to send out a message to the "White" would-be corrupt politicians!!!!! There's plenty of names to choose from!
#exonerateMichael from FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Honorable J. Randal Hall, Honorable Dudley H. Bowen, Jr., and Honorable Brian K. Epps are all 2017 federal judges for Augusta Division for Southern District of Georgia. Brian K. Epps was the individual who produced the 2016 Report and Recommendation on Michael Blocker denying him a habeas corpus hearing based on inaccurate information. It looks like it would be a "cold day in hell" to get any justice any time soon in Augusta.
ReplyDeleteIn May 2017, judge J. Randal Hall became Chief Judge.
ReplyDeleteMichael Christopher Blocker realizes that he should have been charged with the MISDEMEANOR of trespassing in 2007. NOT Rape NOT Kidnapping NOT even simple burglary!
