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.

Discovered that Davis, Chapman, and Wilder, LLC was Alexia Davis who was sitting at the 2008 trial.

March 2023

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.

J. Randal Hall acknowledges Brian K. Epps' "clerical" Error

According to 1:19cv036 J.Randal Hall acknowledges the "clerical" error made in a date in Brian K. Epps report; yet, J. Randal Hall fails to acknowledge that 10-cv-2368 was the first "2254 Habeas" filed in 2010/2011 in Lowndes County.

There are full hearing transcripts on this case/file.

Michael Christopher Blocker never received 2008 trial transcripts although he repeatedly submitted written requests for them.  His public defender Hugh Hadden showed up to this hearing with no trial transcripts either.  The Georgia State Bar Grievance Counsel Ms. Nash dismissed Mr. Blocker's grievance surrounding Hugh Hadden.  She says that "attorneys don't have to be effective nor have a strategy." (paraphrasing here)  

Even the Georgia Supreme Court recognizes Lower Court Case no. 10cv2368

The 2010 (10cv2368) hearing transcript is very damaging to the State of Georgia.  Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr is supposed to make decisions to save Georgia from paying out restitution.  Assisting J. Randal Hall and Brian K. Epps in trying to keep the blatant scandal BURIED outside of Richmond County, Georgia should violate the Georgia RICO laws themselves.  What a racket?!!!

#exonerateMichael campaign started in 2015 and is still fighting the good fight in 2019.  This case is Augusta, Georgia based. (Southern District of Georgia)

Acknowledgement from the Supreme Court of Georgia

This was not the first time that I had written the Justices of the Supreme Court of Georgia.  However, this was the first time that I received some sort of acknowledgement back from their clerks.  I believe that we need to file a different type of writ.  We still have not found an attorney willing to tackle the "untouchables" from the Augusta Richmond County, Georgia area. We are at a standstill right now.

The #exonerateMichael campaign will continue.  The November 2018 elections will hopefully open new doors for us.  The existing system just does not want to correct this injustice.  Everyone knows about it, but it is like a "game."  Let's see if they figure it out.  Unfortunately, Michael can barely get access to the prison's legal library.  I don't reside in Georgia.  It is just ridicious that no one can help finish this process.  The regional exposure and restitution from the State of Georgia should be enough incentive to bring Michael home for Christmas.  Is there one?

Judge J. Randal Hall Closes Case without Attorney General Olens' input

On June 3, 2016, Judge J. Randal Hall orders case 1:16-cv-00034 closed without Attorney General Sam Olens' input.  

On June 15, 2016, a representative from Sam Olen's office returned my phone call to confirm that their office provided NO INPUT regarding this case.  The representative suggested going through the 11th Circuit, but Michael C. Blocker says that the 11th circuit told him to go through the Federal Habeas process because of the missing trial transcripts and (unlawful) guilty plea.

Judge J. Randal Hall knew that Michael C. Blocker had filed previous habeas petitions over last several years when he granted Michael C. Blocker an opportunity to object to Magistrate Brian K. Epps' Report and Recommendation to deny Michael C. Blocker a hearing.  

In previous filings, Michael C. Blocker was not able to effectively present his defense.  Now, in 2016, he has been properly briefed on court errors surrounding his case, and he is now ready to present his defense:

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA

AUGUSTA DIVISION

 

CV 116-034

 

MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER BLOCKER,

Petitioner,

 

v.

 

FNU HALL, Warden and

SAM OLENS, Attorney General of the State of Georgia,

Respondents.

-------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIONS to MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

COMES NOW Petitioner Blocker with objections to Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation ordered April 18, 2016.

 

BACKGROUND

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (b) (1) (B) (ii) circumstances exist that render such process ineffective to protect the rights of the applicant.

 

The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation Background statements are inaccurate/incorrect in at least two occurrences.

 

I.             Report states that Petitioner pled guilty to all three charges: burglary, kidnapping, and rape.

II.           Report states that Petitioner filed his first § 2254 petition on April 26, 2012. Blocker v. Danforth CV 112-064

 

The DNA Report from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations only shows an “external” vaginal (burglary) DNA match.  THE DNA Report does NOT show an “internal” vaginal (rape) DNA match.

 

DISCUSSION

Based on the sentencing transcript for case 2007-RCCR-00181, Document no. 1

I, Petitioner Blocker, had been found competent to stand trial, but I was incompetent to plead guilty based on being under the influence of medication.

 

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.

 

No medical expert was present to confirm competency to plead guilty.

In addition, I never verbally stated that I committed rape nor kidnapping. 

 

MS. WRIGHT (A.D.A.): 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.

 

 

The judge then asked did I commit the crime. Again, while under the influence of medication, I assumed that the crime that the judge was referring to was burglary not rape. 

 

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

THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.

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

The DEFENDANT: Yes, sir

 

This guilty plea was unlawful due to incompetency to plead guilty and never stating that I raped nor kidnapped anyone.

 

Furthermore, my first § 2254 petition was on December 16, 2010 Blocker v.  Danforth   2010-CV-2368 Lowndes County, Georgia.   Document no. 2

 

In addition, The sentencing transcript, Document no 1, p.10 mentions that a DNA expert from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations was never called during the prior  two days of trial.

 

MS. WRIGHT (A.D.A.): I believe that we do not need to go any further in establishing factual basis, as the Court has heard the evidence and the Court, of course is aware 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 identical twin.

 

If the DNA expert had been called to the stand then the DNA expert could have explained the “burglary DNA match,” but the report did NOT support a “rape DNA match.”

 

 

CONCLUSION

Based on inaccurate BACKGROUND information within the April 18, 2016 Magistrate report, the DISCUSSION is MOOT as well as the CONCLUSION is MOOT.   This civil action should be GRANTED.

 

Michael Christopher Blocker

 

 

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

I certify that on or before May 21, 2016, I mailed/filed the foregoing via USPS to:

 

Attorney General Sam Olens

Office of the Attorney General

40 Capitol Square, SW

 Atlanta, Ga 30334

*end of text of document filed on May 19, 2016

Michael C. Blocker deserves a hearing in a different county.  Richmond County/Augusta, GA is incapable of allowing justice to prevail.  

Despite the "snail mail" of the State Prison System and the additional mailroom delivery challenges, Michael C. Blocker met the deadlines and provided credible instances of prosecutorial misconduct, but Judge J. Randal Hall only cares about covering up for his cronies.

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?

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.

Augusta, GA Rape Case: Plenty of Reasonable Doubt

Michael C. Blocker was arrested on Rape and Burglary charges according to this January 24, 2007 document.

The grand jury's true bill switched the order of the charges to Burglary (first) then Rape (second) and added Kidnapping (third).  Since this case was highly publicized as a rape case, then there must have been reasonable doubt surrounding the validity of the rape charge because the rape and kidnapping charges became secondary charges.

Furthermore, the arrest date in the Richmond County, GA case management database shows 1/15/2007 for the burglary charge; however, the rape and the kidnapping charges show an arrest date of 1/15/2008 which is a year after the burglary arrest, and the date falls during his actual trial date 1/14-16/2008.  Why are the arrest dates for the rape and kidnapping charges different from the burglary arrest date? 

I am hoping that Michael C. Blocker is released from all charges soon.  He deserves another chance as a freed man.  #exonerateMichael from false imprisonment.
