Biased Reporting of the Augusta Georgia DA election results

 

20 hours after the official 100% reporting and WJBF still had not highlighted and checked Williams as the winner of the Augusta Judicial Circuit in Georgia.

At 85% reporting, WJBF  had the losing candidate highlighted and checked for the Augusta Judicial Circuit in Augusta, Georgia.

November 2020 election

In fact, the earliest reporting of the Augusta Judicial Circuit results for District Attorney showed 100% reporting with 5301 votes for Paine and 4699 for Williams. Clearly, the biased mindset at WJBF was in place before the reporting ever began. Gotta love Georgia.

Justice System: The name is the game changer.

So I released my detailed account of my rape and kidnapping in November 2018. Unfortunately, what I learned is that Rape happens quite often.  There is a "rape culture' that exists. A "groping culture" also exists. I was quite saddened to hear this. Violent acts against women affect every woman differently. For me, my toxic relationship with Mark Lee Murray III became an ultimate tragedy that redirected my entire life's journey.

I was forced to release my assailant's name in December 2018.  The world stopped in silence, and it cleared a path for me to walk through. I have no regrets. It was necessary. Clearly, a prominent name is a gamechanger.

In June 2019, I asked Buncombe County District Attorney Todd Williams to file kidnapping charges against my assailant. Of course, my name is not prominent enough to get any prompt attention, but this week, progress was made.

My 1990 case is still visible in the system. When asked why didn't I file kidnapping charges in 1990? My response was that my story has not changed. I was pinned up in Mark's car for an hour against my will in a secluded area. It sounds like kidnapping to me. No further questions were asked.

I have secured advocacy in Asheville, NC.

The hashtag for my pending victory over my assailant is #round2mark3

My life has been hell with the post traumatic stress spilling into every aspect of my relationships including family.  I'm ready for due process. It is decades overdue, and God's timing.

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.

Augusta, GA: Was Burglar Railroaded with Rape Charges?

(Assistant) District Attorney Ashley Wright states "I don't think that I can make him anything but LWOP. Sorry." 

(i.e. LWOP means life without parole.)

Inmate Michael C. Blocker says that he thought that he was signing a plea deal for "Burglary" only -NO RAPE.  So what if the only count on this "Defendant's Change of Plea" was count #1 Burglary when the defendant signed?  Suppose Count #2 Rape and Count #3 Kidnapping were added to this document AFTER the defendant signed. #Railroaded

AGAIN, Inmate Michael C. Blocker says that he thought that he was signing a plea deal for "Burglary" only -NO RAPE.  So what if the "Burglary 1-20 years" was the only offense listed in line item #6 of this "Plea of Guilty (Nolo Contendere)" form when the defendant signed?  Suppose "Rape 10-20 or Life years" and "Kidnapping 1-20 years" were added to this document AFTER the defendant signed. #Railroaded

AGAIN, Inmate Michael C. Blocker says that he thought that he was signing a plea deal for "Burglary" only -NO RAPE.  So what if "Burglary" was the only unlawful act listed in line item #31 of this "Plea of Guilty (Nolo Contendere)" form when the defendant signed?  Suppose "; kidnapping ; rape" were added to this document AFTER the defendant signed. #Railroaded

Inmate Michael C. Blocker says (Assistant) District Attorney Ashley Wright was doing a LOT of writing before handing paperwork over to Judge James G. Blanchard, Jr. #Railroaded

The State could have wrapped this case up in 2007 by offering a "plea deal for burglary only," but (Assistant) District Attorney Ashley Wright and District Attorney Daniel J. Craig may have had another agenda for defendant and repeat (burglary) offender Michael Blocker.

As mentioned in a previous article on this blog, the rape case was EXTREMELY weak WITHOUT any report of an internal vaginal DNA Match. http://applebaumparadigm.blogspot.com/2015/12/2007-augusta-ga-rape-case-revisited.html

 As far as the kidnapping charge goes, initial charges were Rape and Burglary only.  Kidnapping Charge was added later.
