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!

Incompetency and Conspiracy in the Courtroom in Augusta, GA?

On January 23, 2008, Michael Christopher Blocker writes:

Mr. (Hugh) Hadden:  Would you please send me my sentencing papers and let me know what measures that I can/should take to go about getting my sentence reduced.  This is Michael C. Blocker and you and I just finished my trial/plea last week (1.16.08).  I read the newspaper articles and watched the news.  I'm very confused. Please help.

Sincerely,

Michael C. Blocker

******

Michael C. Blocker already had his G.E.D.  This educational achievement is clearly reflective in his letter.

However, Jodi Thigpen, Administrative Assistant to Hugh M. Hadden, prays that Michael will take the time to further his education as seen in the January 30, 2008 letter pictured above.  A G.E.D. is an excellent start for educational achievement, but the public defender's office seemed to be uninformed about the educational level of their client, Michael C. Blocker, that resulted in a guilty plea for a life sentence for a crime in which he did not commit.  Why is that? 

So let's look at the sentencing to "life" performed by Judge Blanchard Jr. as pictured above.  

Judge Blanchard states:

However, the Court system cannot forgive you for what you've done because the acts that you've committed were vile, despicable, criminal acts, whether you were under the influence of drugs or not.

******

News Flash:  Judge Blanchard is responsible for his courtroom whether or not the public defender office and district attorney offices were both wrong about the DNA report being a match for rape.  There was no DNA match for rape.  There was NO Internal Vaginal DNA match. Period.  There was NO proof that a rape occurred.  Period.

Judge Blanchard Jr. only orders a sentencing transcript.  The trial transcripts for the first 2 days of Michael C. Blocker's trial were never ordered.  Without the trial transcripts and without effective assistance of counsel, Michael Christopher Blocker has been unable to successfully appeal his case.  

Court Errors, Incompetency, and Conspiracy lead to Michael Christopher Blocker being sentenced to a life sentence for a crime that he did not commit.

Ex parte Communications Prerequisite for Augusta Georgia Writing Campaign

Ms. Roth from Judge Blanchard Jr's office informed me in a November 10, 2015 letter that Michael Christopher Blocker plead guilty after some hours of testimony at trial.  According to Augusta Chronicle reporter Sandy Hodson, Michael Christopher Blocker was into his third day of trial before a guilty plea was entered.  Does "some hours of testimony" sound the same as "a three day trial?"

After talking with Cheryl Gordon in the Clerk of Criminal Courts office, she can not tell from his file how many days of trial actually happened.  She only knows that the defendant pled guilty.

My November 2, 2015 letter to Judge Blanchard Jr's office was a request for the courts to correct Michael Christopher Blocker's unlawful plea as quietly as possible.

My October 29, 2015 letter to private attorney Willie Saunders was also an attempt to quietly get Michael Christopher Blocker's case quietly resolved since Mr. Saunders had collected payment from the  Blocker family.  Of course, this letter was sent prior to my public announcement that there was NO RAPE DNA Match connecting Michael Christopher Blocker to the alleged rape victim.

Of course, the District Attorney attached to Michael Christopher Blocker's case was Daniel J. Craig (now, a widely respected judge).  In my October 20, 2015 letter to Judge Daniel J. Craig, I emphasized that my cousin was a non-violent offender, and 2016 was an election year.  Again, this letter was sent prior to my public announcement that there was NO RAPE DNA Match connecting Michael Christopher Blocker to the alleged rape victim.

In summary, I have been trying to get my cousin exonerated quietly since October 2015.  If the courts would have sentenced my cousin to 20 years, then I would have respected the harsh sentencing because my cousin was a repeat offender.  Non-violent, but still a repeat offender.  However, a life sentence was just a bit greedy for a non-violent burglar in Augusta, Georgia.  Would you not agree?

It is now 2016, and my #exonerateMichael campaign continues. 

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.
