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.

I start to publish lost 1990 paperwork (#round2mark3 campaign) that I found while staging my real estate property in preparation for full political warfare.

December 2018
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.

I intentionally released my 1990 assailant name with a younger photo for press recovery at a later date. This released Coastal Federal Credit Union's grip and my closing went through.

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.

Tammy Bussey notifies me via phone call that Richmond County court reporter has judge's decision but court reporter emails me later that she has received nothing.

The prison was on lockdown for most of the month completely throwing all communication with Michael out of sync.

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.

Davis, Chapman, and Wilder are unable to assist with the correcting of the injustice. Pro se motion to withdraw the guilty plea is still last entry in case management for 2007rccr00181

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!)

Michael Christopher Blocker was never a person of interest in the 2007 rape case!

In order to protect the identity of the deceased victim, I had never posted this information. Now, I really don't care since she took her lie to her grave, and this is my fifth year trying to get my cousin exonerated.

Michael Christopher Blocker had no sex crimes in his background. He was never a person of interest in the 2007 Alleged rape.

The sketch of the 2007 rape suspect was a dummy "premade" sketch. The leads that came in on a "phony sketch" that the victim just went with was quite interesting. Ultimately, other people with their own agendas framed Michael Christopher Blocker for a rape where there was NO proof that the rape occurred.

There was never a rapist. The rape has always been listed as a SECONDARY charge but it has Michael Christopher Blocker trapped in a life without parole sentence by Danny Craig who received an immediate promotion two days after railroading an over medicated defendant.

Judge James Blanchard Jr oversaw this Injustice against Michael Christopher Blocker in 2008.

The #exonerateMichael campaign is in its fifth year of this good fight.

Southern District of Georgia: Augusta Strange Prosecutions

Stand with this Veteran (Alleged Whistleblower) sentenced in Augusta, GA


Alleged whistleblower real name is Reality Winner.  She was Allegedly the source of this June 2017 "The Intercept" article pictured above. Her sentence- the longest ever handed down for an "unauthorized disclosure to the media" was to make an example of her like all the other strange prosecutions in Augusta, GA according to the leaders of the #freeRealityWinner campaign.


As Harper's magazine referenced a "usual pattern" in Augusta, GA at the beginning of election years.  Like in the 2004 Election year when (now Judge) Lisa Godbey Wood strangely prosecuted Senator Walker.

In 2005, Sports Illustrated then highlighted a 30 year sentencing of James (Jimmy) Lee Davis in Augusta, GA prosecuted by (now Judge) Daniel J. Craig in a 2002 trial. This was another strange prosecution in the Southern District of Georgia. (Not necessarily an election year but definitely motivated by the major golf tournament held there.)

In  Election year 2008, Michael C. Blocker had his "Trial by jury" stolen from him on the third day of trial (January 16, 2008) for a crime that he did not commit by District Attorney Daniel J. Craig.   Then Governor Sonny Perdue appointed Daniel J. Craig judge two days later (January 18, 2008).  Judge Craig has been running uncontested in elections since then.

Former Governor Sonny Perdue is now under Trump's administration.



I have been trying to get Michael C. Blocker released from false imprisonment since 2015 using the #exonerateMichael campaign.

One of my #exonerateMichael followers sent me this statement above referencing Judge Craig as a Nazi.

Federal Judge J. Randal Hall and Brian K. Epps has repeatedly ignored our #exonerateMichael requests for release.  Hall has repeatedly protected Judge Daniel J. Craig.  Lisa Godbey Wood referenced from Harper Magazine article earlier is on the same bench as J. Randal Hall.

Trump, Perdue, Craig, Hall, Epps, Wood are all clearly connected.  As of March 2019, Michael C. Blocker filed a complaint for Civil Rights Violation in the Augusta Division because the violation happened there.  We are praying that the Southern District of Georgia recuse itself from the process.  We also pray that all the unjust sentencing in Augusta, GA ends. In addition,

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.)

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?

J. Randal Hall Denies Motion for Temporary Restraining Order

Schmitt versus Reimer et al (cv 110-102)

Judge J. Randal Hall denied Mark Schmitt's emergency motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction on September 14, 2010. Footnote 3 states " For instance, the Court notes that Judge Craig has asserted the defense of judicial immunity, which may serve as a complete bar to all claims against him. "

My layman's understanding is that Judge Craig contended that he was virtually and literally "untouchable" in 2010. 

He is due for re-election for another 8 year term this year (2016.)  He is running uncontested.  Surely, God will not let this happen.

I have been told by a few people that the FBI and US Marshalls have overlooked accusations surrounding Judge Craig countless times. Some are in disbelief that he is still in power.

The #exonerateMichael campaign has focused on Judge Daniel Craig because he was the District Attorney responsible for the false imprisonment of Michael C. Blocker.  

I suspect that Judge Daniel Craig influenced another North Carolina judge to make me a "pet project."  I have not secured the name of the local NC judge that signed off on the writ of execution and the latest series of extortion attempts against my assets.  However, I will count on the FBI to finish connecting the dots.

Regardless, if my suspicions are correct or not,  I am making room for a new best friend. (A safe.)

Judge Daniel J. Craig: Forever Entitled to Absolute Judicial Immunity?


"Judge Craig contends that he is entitled to absolute Judicial immunity as to those claims that arise entirely from his conduct as a judicial officer . . . ."


Presiding Judge: J. Randal Hall  
for case CV 110-102


"But nothing can compare with the loss of the relationship I had with my only-child-Adrianna. Adrianna was only 6 when I was forced to litigate 2 Federal Lawsuits from South Carolina in 2010."

"My ex-wife's attorney charged me nearly $43,000 for a so called no fault Georgia divorce and for an attorney that I didn't hire.  I paid nearly  $90,000 for several different attorneys, private detectives, and appeal attempts in just the divorce case. And when the dust settled, my only child (now 12) was kidnapped (judicially and maternally) and thus prevented from any contact, a 28 year ATC career destroyed, and assets and income of over 1 million dollars were either stolen and/or destroyed."

Mark Schmitt, Pro Se Plaintiff  (Notified over 500 attorneys for help and got no takers.)

********

 I say Augusta, GA can not afford eight more years of this circle of power and oppression. Over a decade in power has been long enough.  Change has to come.

Please help all the families who are suffering under the corruption in Augusta, GA.

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.


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

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.

Introducing Michael Christopher Blocker and Why I'm Fighting for Him


Michael Christopher Blocker in his younger days. 

Me:  (cousin) Michael, I have been told that you were a bit of a hellraiser on the streets.

Michael:  Well, Cuz, that was an understatement. (and he goes on . . . .)

But on a separate note,  I have been told:  "If you can not be good, then be good at it."

The reason why I started this article in this format was because some people still want to judge Michael by his past.  He has matured.  People need to know that.  Sometimes people in general need a little extra time to pull their act together. It's life.  However, they do not need to spend the rest of their life in prison to pull their act together.  Especially not, under false imprisonment.

Now, people probably may ask, why do I have a "dog in this fight?" 

Well, it all began in December 2014.  My dad took me to see my uncle Henry (Michael's dad) who was in specialty care.  My dad was very concerned about his brother's health.  This concern had a domino effect on me.  I was concerned about my dad and my uncle.  It was also on this visit that without my uncle uttering a word, he commissioned me.  Commissioned me for what?  I did not know,  but I knew that he was fighting for his life. Then when he passed six months later, and I did not see Michael at the funeral.  I knew Michael was born, but his name was not brought up besides being listed in the obituary.

I began looking for Michael online in September 2015.  I knew that both of his parents had died, and it seemed like Michael was non-existent. As many of you know or do not know, I have a computer science/software engineering background.  It was my first career. The hair industry is my second career.  I am an honors college graduate. (i.e. I earned all of my degrees.) I saw quite a few cases online where Michael was trying to accomplish something.  I decided to reach out to him with a simple one page letter, and a four page letter came back. His fight became my fight at that point.

There was nothing that made any sense about his trial, sentencing, nor guilty plea for a life sentence.  After reviewing the facts surrounding the case, the burglary was the only thing that was obvious.  Rape and kidnapping seemed far fetched to me.  Then when I received the DNA Report from the GBI and realized that they did not even have a "rape DNA match," I could not believe that he was used as a scapegoat for others to get promotions during the 2008 election year.

But, after reviewing some prominent Augusta, Georgia cases such as the "counterfeiting Masters badges case of 2001/2002," sentencing in Augusta, Georgia has been described as a "confluence of power and privilege" according to Michael Bamberger of the Sports Illustrated Vault.  District Attorney Daniel J. Craig  was also associated with James Lee Davis' case netting in a 30 year sentence for "bogus Master's badges."


Excessive sentencing may be common in Georgia, especially, Augusta, GA, but Michael's life sentencing and trial transcripts that were never authorized are beyond excessive.  It has been simply unbelievable.

Since I have been assisting with Michael's fight, his life was threatened in March 2016 and one of his letters that I sent certified was refused in April 2016 due to a "Master Witness List" that I was returning to him.

He is a "pro se" petitioner who was given his complete discovery file years ago.  He is a non-violent burglar who was framed with rape and kidnapping charges.  He has tried multiple times to get exoneration.  I really believe that his spirit was tired and broken with the passing of his parents and getting one door after the next closed in his face in his efforts to vacate his life sentence.

Michael now has a new hope, and I am dedicated to his release.  It is the right thing to do.

One of my clients mentioned starting a petition on "change.org"  I will keep everyone posted when it is set up.  Thank you in advance for your continued support!

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?
