The Faces attached to Augusta, Georgia Scandal

 

Judge James G. Blanchard Jr - oversight for fair trial and discovery of truth for the 2007rccr00181 Augusta, Georgia capital punishment case.  He released trial transcripts in 2021 for the 2008 trial. The State's intention to go after recidivism was stated for the record from the beginning the trial. The stolen goods associated with the trial were mostly costume jewelry and a bag of pennies. The first witness stated for the record that she was NOT HURT.

Hugh Hadden - public defender that brought to light that the first witness' daughter resided within a block of the District Attorney's own residence. In addition, Sheriff Strength was on site and lead a 10 to 15 men search team for "mostly costume jewelry" and a "bag of pennies" at 1 am in the morning in January 2007.

Ashley Wright - 2008 Assistant District Attorney that stated that she did not have to prove "any-"  to get her promotion. In fact, by any means necessary, the capital punishment trial needed to be expedited or eliminated in time for the promotion calendar date two days later.

Terry Spratlin Leverett - the first witness on the stand in January 2008. She stated for the record in the trial transcripts that she was not hurt. Her January 2007 medical records stated that there were no signs of injury. No biological fluids were found. No fingerprints were found. She entered into rest in January 2013.

Daniel J. Craig - 2008 District Attorney that forced the grand jury indictment in 2007 and masterminded the whole capital punishment case for his own 2008 promotion to judge. 

There are other accomplices associated with additional actions to cover-up this wrongful incarceration/scandal over the last 15 years. Augusta, GA judicial system has known about this injustice for at least the last eight years. This article will be updated as needed.

Coastal Federal Credit Union was the mechanism being used for full political warfare. The closer that I got to closing on my real estate the more insane the financial scene was becoming.

March 2021

Official Court Reporter Tammy Bussey informs our campaign that a judge is reviewing Michael's case regarding release of his trial transcripts. Michael has been requesting these transcripts for 13 years now. He has never seen them despite case 2010 CV 2368 in Lowndes County Georgia should have required them.

April 2021

I visit Richmond County and Columbia County courthouses. Judges Wright and Craig are headquartered in Augusta Richmond County. Blanchard Jr is headquartered in Evans Columbia County, Georgia.

Online/Social media Trial transcript series is posted to expose the key points associated with the trial.

The Department of Justice interviews inmates at Smith State Prison regarding inmate safety investigation, and Michael is transferred to another prison facility.

I begin new role in USPS. Lateral move.

April 2023

Attorney Tanya Jeffords reaches out. She remembers the case but genuinely does not remember her involvement. Attempt to reach lead public defender Hugh Hadden was unsuccessful.

The good fight continues.

DNA Report Publish for #exonerateMichael Case

Georgia states "report can not be reproduced except in full without written permission of the laboratory.

This is the 2 pages of the DNA Report surrounding the #exonerateMichael case.

It is up to the state to figure out how there is an external DNA match. 

No fingerprints found.

No signs of bodily injury.

No forced entry.

NO internal Vaginal DNA Match

No DNA Expert Testified

So why does

Michael Christopher Blocker

Have a Life without Parole sentence attached to a Nolo Contendere in the Southern District of Georgia?

Come on Judge J. Randal Hall, Judge Danny Craig, Judge Ashley Wright, Judge James Blanchard, Jr.?

Out of all the folks you all railroaded in Augusta, GA - Michael's case is the most ridiculous, outright disgusting case of prosecutorial misconduct that is on the books. You all should be under the prison for the death of my uncle and my aunt as well as the collateral damage you all created trying to cover one fucked up decision after the next. I'm sorry for my casual words. I was much more professional in 2015. Professionalism got me still fighting into 2020.

Please exonerate Michael immediately or just die. Soon. There will be plenty of people raising up a glass! (Versus the old Rebel Yell!)

Public Defender Hugh Hadden Admissions (10-cv-2368)

Hugh Hadden states "I had no difficulty dealing with Mr. Blocker.  I found him, frankly to be an intelligent young man, very easy-going, and quite pleasant to work with." (HT 16)

Hugh Hadden had been duly sworn during his testimony. (HT 7)

In 2010, Mr. Hadden admitted to handling over a hundred or probably several hundred felony trials. (HT 8)

Mr. Hadden firmly states that DNA evidence placed him (Mr. Blocker) at the scene, but Mr. Hadden implies that he personally has some doubt that Mr. Blocker raped the victim.  So he vaguely mentions that "Mr. Blocker gave two statements to the police that were inculpatory" in order to make him feel better about his implication.

Why? (Because there exists Exculpatory evidence!)

1) There was another person (co-defendant) at the scene. (HT 24)

2) No DNA Expert ever testified  (1:16cv00034)

3) No Rape DNA was ever found. (1:16cv00034)

Mr. Hugh Hadden admits that Mr. Blocker's case drew a good bit of media attention just because of the particular area of town where it occurred.  (HT 14)

Mr. Hadden admits that for lack of a better term, (Mr. Blocker's case) was a high-profile sort of case. (HT 15)

--------- end of Hadden's admissions ------

Let's be clear:

1) Mr. Blocker had a "burglary" background. (The same as many sheriff deputies who "legally steal" on behalf of debt collectors.)

  

2) There was DNA evidence supporting Mr. Blocker being at the scene because of a potential exchange of "stolen goods" IN ORDER to NOT LEAVE ANY FINGERPRINTS. (No fingerprints were found.)

3) Everyone who interacts with Mr. Blocker concludes the same thing . . .

• Intelligent
• Easy-going
• Pleasant

4) There is NO EVIDENCE of ANY VIOLENCE IN THIS CASE (2007-RCCR-0181)

5) If Mr. Blocker did enter a guilty plea knowingly, it was based on the admission of BURGLARY only.  He NEVER admitted to The rape nor Kidnapping charges.   He NEVER signed any paperwork with RAPE nor Kidnapping Charges on it.  

6) There does exist guilty plea paperwork reflecting all three charges with Mr. Blocker's signature; however, THERE IS NO PROOF THAT ALL THREE CHARGES were listed on the paperwork at the time that Mr. Blocker signed the paperwork. (HT 150, HT 151, HT 152, HT 154)


FURTHERMORE,  Isn't it UNLAWFUL to have a NOLO  CONTENDERE Plea for this type of case (2007-RCCR-181) where recividism was also stacked on?  (Hugh Hadden and Ashley Wright signed off -pictured above.) (HT 155)

Hugh Hadden, you failed Mr. Blocker in 2008 case (2007RCCR00181)

and 

you failed Mr. Blocker in 2010 case (10-cv-2368)

That is TWO STRIKES  . . .

I'm preparing documentation for the Georgia Supreme Court . . . I really don't want to see you get a STRIKE THREE for Daniel J. Craig's  2007 grand jury indictment that needs to be dismissed. (Motion to DISMISS is already filed)

Plus, I have a copy of Supreme Court of Georgia Remittitur, Case No. S11H1214 (2011)  (Surely, the Supreme Court would be upset to know about all the negligence and prosecutorial misconduct in these cases.)

• Jimmonique R. S. Rodger, Deputy Director of Georgia Public Defender Council kindly informs us that direct appellate rights have ended.

State Exhibit 6 was Weak before the Jury was even charged in 2008

Ashley Wright (the State) request to charge the jury dated 2007; yet, certificate of service to public defender Hugh Hadden is dated 2008. (Pictured above)

 . . . and in the form set forth in the attached Exhibits 1 through 15.

Pictured is Exhibit 6.

As the #exonerateMichael good fight continues, Mr. Blocker noticed that Exhibit 6 was missing from the paperwork that I mailed to him.  I thought that maybe it was missing as a result of a copier paper jam, but no, upon examining the original paperwork, Exhibit 6 (six) was truly missing from the rest of the pages.  Luckily, I remember seeing that document within a MASTER set of paperwork.  I found it!  It surrounds reliability of Identification.  This exhibit is so weak that I do not understand how the State was even able to Charge the jury.

Let us examine Exhibit 6.

"Identity is a question of fact for you to determine.  Your Determination of Identity is dependent upon the credibility of the witness or witnesses offered for this purpose. You should consider all of the factors previously charged you regarding credibility of witnesses."

1. Mr. Blocker was arrested one week after alleged burglary and alleged rape "monster hunt."  
2. The mugshot which the alleged victim picked out from the pre-existing mugshot collection that was presented to her did not look like Mr. Blocker.
3. No rape DNA match was EVER identified.
4. The allegedly victim fabricated other parts of her story like outgoing phone calls on the land line which proved be to falsehoods.
5. The "second burglar" concept was never addressed possibly because a separate "deal to squeal" was worked out?

Shall I continue?

Rest assured that Michael Christopher Blocker did not sit in jail for a whole year just to sign a guilty plea for crimes that he DID NOT commit.  The State is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct surrounding the phony indictment 2007-RCCR-181 The State should be ashamed of robbing Mr. Blocker's parents of their health so that they could use Michael Christopher Blocker as a scapegoat to get a series of promotions during the 2008 election year.

The Grand jury INDICTMENT should be removed and Michael Christopher Blocker should be exonerated.

Judge J. Randal Hall displays RACIAL BIAS in DENIAL of Hearing

According  to CV 110-102 Mark Herbert Schmitt v. Susan M. Reimer, et al. Footnote 1 reads:  "While Plaintiff does not identify his motion as an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, based upon the substance of the motion and Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court shall construe it as such."

Mark Schmitt is a White male with 28 years air traffic control experience and a work safety record in the top one percent of any controller.

Judge J. Randal Hall showed leniency based on Schmitt's "pro se" status to hear the motions as presented.

While, Michael Christopher Blocker, a non-violent Black male pro se petitioner with a  G.E.D. who is simply asking for a hearing is DENIED by Judge J. Randal Hall stating in CV 116-034:  Petitioner's motion offers no facts or law at all, much less any "of a strongly convincing nature."  The best that this Court can discern, Petitioner wants this Court to simply change its mind for no reason at all.

NO REASON AT ALL?

Michael Christopher Blocker whose private attorney and public defender both failed to notice that the expedited DNA Report showed no DNA Match for Rape and with Mr. Blocker's limited education, he has toiled to the best of his ability to vacate a life sentence without parole for a crime that he did not commit for the last nine years.

FURTHERMORE:

If Michael Christopher Blocker did not have concrete evidence of gross prosecutorial misconduct surrounding (former A.D.A) Ashley Wright, (former D.A.) Daniel J. Craig, Judge James G. Blanchard, Jr., etc, then a hearing would have already been ordered for "pure entertainment" alone.

However, the Honorable Judge J. Randal Hall continues his pattern to protect the judicial immunity of Judge Daniel J. Craig and associates in his one paragraph order denying Mr. Blocker a hearing that he so deserves based on the very same sentencing transcript that is claimed to be so damaging to his defense.  In reality, the sentencing transcript damages the State more than the defendant.

On a separate note,  Why did it take three months for Judge J. Randal Hall to respond with a one paragraph denial to CV 116-034?  Mr. Blocker's motion for reconsideration asking for another venue as well as a direct response from the Sam Olens, Attorney General, himself was received around 6/28/2016.   Yet, the motion remained pending for three months just for a simple one paragraph denial on 10/5/2016?

If the heist of my bank account was supposed to intimidate me from using my freedom of speech, then you are sadly mistaken.

You all have destroyed the lives of so many families regardless of race, but your biased response to Mr. Blocker's request for a hearing shows an inconsistency in how you construe "Black pro se petitioners" compared to "White pro se plaintiffs."

Maybe the ACLU would be interested in this discriminatory behavior?

Augusta, Georgia: Small Town Connections Lead to President Obama

In 2009, President Barack Obama nominated and appointed Mr. Edward Tarver to United States Attorney, Southern District of Georgia.  President Obama inspires transparency, but I have not found anything transparent about Mr. Edward Tarver since I begun seeking his assistance in December 2015 with my #exonerateMichael campaign.

2009 US Attorney Nomination link:  http://www.savannahtribune.com/news/2009-10-07/Front_Page/Tarver_Nominated_to_Serve_as_United_States_Attorne.html

The sealing of Edward Tarver's contested divorce grabbed global attention in 2012. Article link:

http://m.chronicle.augusta.com/news/crime-courts/2012-04-01/richmond-county-has-2-recent-high-profile-sealed-divorce-cases#

I also found Edward Tarver and Judge J. Randal Hall have been working together at least since 2012. An article link:  https://www.fbi.gov/atlanta/press-releases/2012/two-augusta-businessmen-sentenced-to-federal-prison-for-mortgage-fraud-scheme

In a previous article, Judge J. Randal Hall denied Michael C. Blocker a hearing due to successive attempts to be exonerated from a crime in which he was framed for.

A potential February 2016 Facebook link between Tanya Jeffords and Edward Tarver.

Attorney Tanya Jeffords, Attorney Alexia Davis, and District Attorney Ashley Wright have history together as shown in a previous article on this blog.  

Augusta, Georgia is a small town in the grand scheme of things.  It is not uncommon for the judges, attorneys, and prosecutors work tightly together.  Or is it?

The bottom line: 

• Rape and kidnapping charges for case 2007rccr00181 should have never gotten past the grand jury.
• A public defender should never allow a defendant to plead guilty while having knowledge that the defendant is under the influence of medication.
• A judge should never coach a defendant having knowledge that the defendant is under the influence of medication.
• A State prosecutor should not send her girlfriends over to an overmedicated defendant to manipulate the defendant to make her job easier.

If you have been following the #exonerateMichael campaign, then you know the four names attached to my bottom line summary.  

Hopefully, the Atlanta FBI can make indictments sooner than later. Michael C. Blocker has already given me a statement.  The family hopes that he will be released from false imprisonment soon.

DNA Expert NEVER testified in 2008 Walton Way rape case

According to the sentencing transcript on page 10,  Assistant D.A. (now, D.A.) Ashley Wright states:

MS. WRIGHT:  I believe that we do not need to go any further in establishing a factual basis, as the Court has heard the evidence and the Court, of course, is aware that we would be providing a DNA expert from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab to indicate that there is a match to the defendant or his identifical twin.

NOTE:  Daniel J. Craig was the D.A. on this case.

*********

So, in the first two days of the 2008 Walton Way rape trial, the DNA Expert from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations NEVER testified.  Why?  A life sentence for a "non-violent" man was on the table, and the most important piece of the case, the DNA Report, was NEVER confirmed by a DNA Expert.

There was a "burglary"/external vaginal DNA sample taken, and a "rape"/internal vaginal DNA sample taken.  NO "rape" DNA match was ever reported.  If the DNA Expert could have testified, then maybe that person would have better explained the DNA Report and how to read it when you have burglary and rape charges STACKED within one case. However, none of this happened.  The State relied on its own limited understanding of how to read GBI DNA Reports.

In addition, in my opinion, most people would probably find it hard to believe that a burglar with his hands full of stolen goods would put all the money, jewelry, and coins down for a quick one minute rape, but the lawyers in this case apparently felt it made sense.

Again, burglary is wrong.  

Stealing is wrong. 

False witnessing is wrong. 

Railroading defendants with crimes that they did NOT commit is wrong.

Paperwork Continues to Support an Unlawful Guilty Plea in Augusta, GA

This letter dated Wednesday, January 30, 2008 says:

Mr. (Hugh) Hadden:

Would you please send me a copy of the plea I signed on the 16th of January as well as some information or what I need to do to try and get my time reduced if possible. 

Sincerely, 

Michael C. Blocker

An associate with Al Sharpton's National Action Network stated to me that after a plea is signed, then the defendant should get their carbon copy of the document immediately.  So for Michael C. Blocker to request a copy of the plea in this letter(above) written after arriving at the prison as well as mentioning in a separate court hearing that he did not remember seeing anything about a life sentence on any paperwork that he signed, continues to support my December 2015 theory that the State altered the guilty plea after Michael C. Blocker signed it.

Since burglary was the first count on the indictment, and burglary was consistently listed first throughout the guilty plea, it is a reasonable assumption to think that the guilty plea only showed twenty years for burglary when Michael C. Blocker signed it.  Then "NO CARBON COPY" was given to him because the "guilty plea" was probably altered after his signature to include a life sentence for rape in which he adamantly denied.  He had sat in jail for a whole year prior to the trial because he refused to plead guilty to rape.

Overmedication, ineffective assistance of counsel, and conspiracy contributed to the false imprisonment of Michael Christopher Blocker.  I started a "change.org" petition that is focused on preventing anyone else from having to suffer excessive sentencing under "a man without mercy," and to release Michael C. Blocker as soon as possible.

Coincidence or Conspiracy in 2008 Three day Rape Trial?

Did seven attorneys make the same oversight while reading an expedited Georgia DNA report?

Let us review Case Facts:
1) Augusta, Georgia was looking for a rapist for about a week prior to picking up (veteran burglar) Michael Christopher Blocker.  The alleged rape of a 74 year old woman from an affluent Augusta neighborhood made regional news coverage.

2) Another 63 year old woman from Phinizy Road in Augusta, Georgia also claimed she was raped about three weeks after police had Michael Christopher Blocker in custody.  It would appear that Augusta, GA had a second rapist on the loose according to Augusta Chronicle staff writer Adam Folk, 2/19/2007 article http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2007/02/19/met_117126.shtml

In addition, according online Augusta Chronicle subscriber/commentor: ww1949, dated 2/20/2007

"It turns out that this woman has made the same claim before. She will not let investigators in her house, take a rape test or have an interview.
This was said on the afternoon news by a police officer.
If true, she needs to be the one in jail."

3) So two elderly Augusta women had been caught in "untruths" within a month of each other.

• Alleged Walton Way rape victim claimed her rapist made a phone call after robbing and raping her, but before leaving the premises.  The police found this statement to be an untruth. However, this Walton Way alleged rape victim welcomed having investigators into her house, taking a rape test, and interviewing.  She even had her "green nightshirt with white lace trim, white bra, purse, and wallet laying out ready for inspection when the sergeant arrived.
• By 2/20/2007, Deputies said there was no evidence to support the alleged Phinizy Road rape.

4) Assuming that the following attorneys/lawyers and/or judges reviewed the DNA Report provided by the GBI surrounding the alleged 2007 Walton Way rape incident:

• Daniel J. Craig
• James G. Blanchard, Jr.
• Willie Saunders
• Ashley Wright
• Hugh Hadden
• Tanya Jeffords
• Alexia Davis

Not one of these individuals with a law degree examined the DNA Report with an objective mind?  No one noticed that there was NOT an internal vaginal DNA match (i.e. no RAPE DNA Match).

Michael Christopher Blocker can not believe that this DNA oversight by possibly seven counsellors was coincidental.  He does not believe all the promotions were coincidental in 2008 shortly after his case was wrapped up.  He does not believe that a "burglary" case would have sufficed for promotions when it was an alleged rape case that grabbed regional media coverage.

The alleged "20 year guilty plea" option was presented to Michael Christopher Blocker on the 3rd day of burglary/rape/kidnapping trial based on newspaper reports. Michael Christopher Blocker says that the DNA Report was never presented during the trial days, and the forensic investigator's testimony seemed to support his innocence. 

Judge James G. Blanchard, Jr. did not request trial transcripts to be made available so we really do not know what "compelling" testimonies happened to convince Michael C. Blocker's public defender Hugh Hadden to allow a jury to be DISMISSED on the third day of trial.  

In addition, why would public defender Hugh Hadden allow his overmedicated client to sign off on a life sentence under the assumption that it was a 20 year plea agreement?  

Michael Christopher Blocker feels that "everyone" got paid or promoted to close his frivolous rape trial and bury the case precisely why trial transcripts were never ordered.  Trial transcripts are required in order for defendants to appeal cases.  All judges are aware of this fact.

Interestingly enough, the same case that possibly triggered promotions in 2008 may be the same case that will cost D.A. Ashley Wright and Judge Daniel J. Craig re-election in 2016.  Currently, these two are uncontested. Ashley Wright was Assistant District Attorney in 2008 while Daniel J. Craig was District Attorney. Their titles are now District Attorney and Judge, respectively.  I find it discomforting to know that they are not being challenged in the upcoming 2016 elections.  

Don't you?

Why didn't D.A. Daniel Craig lead the 2008 high profile rape trial?

District Attorney (now Judge) Daniel J. Craig was "front and center" trying to convince a grand jury that a 2007 burglary case was really a rape and kidnapping case.  Even the grand jury was not impressed enough to list rape nor kidnapping as the first count.  The first count of the true bill was burglary.

It is my understanding that District Attorney (now Judge) Daniel J. Craig mislead the grand jury to believe that there was a "Rape DNA Match" where there was none.

Interestingly enough, District Attorney (now Judge) Daniel J. Craig allowed Assistant District Attorney (now D.A.) Ashley Wright to take the lead on the frivolous rape trial in 2008.  Should we ask why?  This is where the plot thickens.

Was D. A. Daniel Craig trying to informally recuse himself?

1)Did he and the alleged rape victim's extended family reside within a block from each other and had too close of a personal relationship?

or

2) Did D.A. Daniel Craig have a personal vendetta against defendant Michael Christopher Blocker based on a middle school/juvenile incident surrounding other close friends of District Attorney Daniel Craig?

or 

3) Are both scenarios possibly true?

Michael Christopher Blocker maintains that there has been a long standing conflict of interest which should have required District Attorney (now Judge) Daniel Craig to be recused from his burglary case and his rape trial.

In addition, 2007 Burglary turned rape case was so high-profiled that a change of venue should have been granted when Michael Christopher Blocker asked his public defender Hugh Hadden for this request.  Public defender Hugh Hadden failed to pursue a change of venue according to defendant Michael Christopher Blocker.

So why did District Attorney (now judge) Daniel J. Craig step back from the high profile rape trial allowing A.D.A. Ashley Wright to lead in 2008?  

If he needed to formally recuse himself, then a neighboring District Attorney from either Columbia or Burke Counties could have taken over thereby resulting in a change of venue to insure a fair trial for the defendant.  Of course, this did not happen.

I am hoping that the FBI can investigate this informal recusal or lack of formal recusal.

Second Burglar present in the 2007 Walton Way Rape case?

From Civil Action File number: 2010-CV-2368

Honorable Frank D. Horkan, Judge

On page 24, Michael C. Blocker mentions a "co-defendant who was caught."  This co-defendant gave Michael's name and became a witness for the State. Sounds like the old saying:

"One person does the crime, and let the other person do the time."

Regardless, did the alleged rape victim mention a second burglar?  She died in 2013, and Judge Blanchard Jr. never ordered 2008 trial transcripts.  I suppose- the alleged rape victim's testimony is in the grave with her.  It looks like we will never know the truth.

However, interesting enough, Public defender Hugh Hadden hands pro se petitioner Michael C. Blocker his complete file in 2010.

page 19, 2010-CV-2368 Lowndes County (Richmond County crime)

Note:  So defendants can get their complete file . . .  transparency is a beautiful thing.

It looks like the State was bluffing about the strength of their 2007/2008 rape case against Michael C. Blocker.

Yet, no one ever called their bluff until 

NOW.

Release Michael Christopher Blocker from false imprisonment in Georgia!

Sentencing Transcript Supports Unlawful Guilty Plea in Augusta, GA

Despite the fact that there was no DNA Match for rape and No evidence of a rape occurring, every authority that I have spoken has referenced Michael C. Blocker's guilty plea and sentencing transcript as proof of guilt.  So let us re-examine the sentencing transcript of Wednesday, January 16, 2008 for unlawfulness.

THE COURT: How far have you gone in school?

THE DEFENDANT: Eleventh grade.

THE COURT: Eleventh grade.

THE DEFENDANT: I got to the eleventh grade.

THE COURT: Do you understand the English language?

THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir

Before I continue with the sentencing transcript details,  let me summarize.  Michael C. Blocker only mentions that he did NOT finish high school, but in reality, he received his G.E.D. in 2003 which was five years prior to this sentencing.  If the COURT would have known of the  G.E.D., then there would have been NO NEED to ask Michael C. Blocker whether he understood the  English language.

THE COURT: Are you under the influence of any drugs, medicine or alcohol today?

THE DEFENDANT: No, sir. I take medication.

THE COURT: Beg your pardon?

THE DEFENDANT: I take medication, but I don't think it influences me.

RED Flag! Medication and the possibility of medications influencing the defendant's decision-making.  Where is the mental health expert?????  Is it wise to proceed with this guilty plea when the defendant is on medication without any medical professional present to clear him for competence to plead guilty?

THE COURT: What kind of medication do you take?

THE DEFENDANT:  

THE COURT: Does that affect you so that you don't understand what's going on?

I am sorry.  Is it wise to ask a man on medication if the medication affects his ability to understand especially when a "life sentence" is on the line?  RED FLAG.  Judge Blanchard Jr.:  Really?  I understand that the presumption of guilt was set in the court's mind, but objectively here, the defendant was NOT competent to plead guilty.

MS. WRIGHT:  Judge, the defendant would need to admit his guilt. There's a lot of if I did it in his statement. He would need to admit that he actually committed these crimes in order for the Court to accept his plea.

Wow! Assistant District Attorney Ashley Wright confirms that Michael C. Blocker NEVER CLEARLY admitted to rape and kidnapping.  Well, amazing!

THE COURT:  But he has pled guilty to the offense. You are pleading guilty to the offense?

Is Judge Blanchard Jr. coaching the defendant here?  Why does Judge Blanchard, Jr. use the word "offense" singular here?  There were three offenses - burglary, rape, and kidnapping STACKED.  The defendant had repeatedly admitted to the burglary; however, Michael C. Blocker adamantly denied both rape and kidnapping charges since the time of arrest.

THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.

THE COURT:  And you admit that after hearing that testimony that you did it; is that correct?

This line of questioning seems to be Coaching/Leading the defendant into a guilty plea by the judge in my opinion. My goodness.  This is quite fascinating. It would seem that this guilty plea is substantially unlawful in Augusta, Georgia.

In summary:

• No Rape DNA Match
• Unlawful Guilty Plea
• No trial transcripts were ever authorized despite defendant's repeated request.
• Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
• Reasonable Doubt
• Incompetency to plead guilty
• No proof of violence
• FALSE IMPRISONMENT

and so on.
