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.

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.

Release Michael Christopher Blocker from false imprisonment in Georgia!

Are the State prosecutors Guilty of Racketeering in Augusta, GA?


The Richmond County state prosecutors have used the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") to charge others, but are they guilty of violating this act themselves?

Victim: Michael C. Blocker

The Criminal enterprise includes but not limited to
Richmond County Judicial Court System and/or State of Georgia.

Criminal Activities Include but not limited to:
Robbery and/or Theft of a Trial by Jury
Robbery and/or Theft of the Right to Appeal
False Imprisonment of Michael C. Blocker

Statute of Limitations
According to www.gabar.org, the statute of limitations for Georgia RICO violations is five years from the time the prohibited conduct ceases.   Michael C. Blocker has been imprisoned since January 2007 and he is still under false imprisonment and/or unlawful detainment at the time of the publishing of this article.  Although, his 2008 trial was stolen and may be out of the statute of limitations, his January 2013 petition for appeal is NOT out of the statute of limitations.

Blocker versus Danforth 
CV 112-168
1-31-2013
Judge: J. Randal Hall

Original burglary case:
Offense date:  January 9, 2007
Arrest date: January 15, 2007
Last Appeal request: January 31, 2013

Because Michael C. Blocker was arrested about a week after the burglary and alleged rape, State Prosecutors have NO PROOF that Michael C. Blocker was "high on drugs," and they have NO Proof that a RAPE even occurred on January 9, 2007.

Reporter Sandy Hodson states in her Thursday, January 17, 2008 article that he (Michael C. Blocker) had been adamant from the time of his arrest that he did not rape the 75-year old cancer survivor in her Walton Way home.

BELIEVE ALL or NONE of the Story!
If Michael C. Blocker says that he was possibly high on drugs when he burglarized the Walton Way home, but He is adamant that HE DID NOT rape this woman, then the State has to accept his WHOLE statement as the truth or none of his statement.  They can not say that the defendant was "too high" to remember the "one minute rape."  There is NO PROOF that the defendant was "high on drugs" one week prior to his arrest.  There is NO PROOF that the defendant raped anyone.

#exonerateMichael

There are several articles on this blog with names of State prosecutors and attorneys, etc. that should be investigated for "RICO" violations surrounding the false imprisonment of Michael C. Blocker. 

FBI Augusta:  ANY STATUS?
Georgia Attorney General Olens:  ANY STATUS?

Was Semen Present in the 2007 Walton Way Rape Case?


According to the investigator notes, there was a "discharge" present in one of the urine samples taken from the alleged rape victim. However, no expert witness ever confirmed that the "discharge" was actually semen.  

It is most likely that the age 74 "cancer patient with one lung" as described by Sandy Hodson's  1/16/2008 article was on daily medications to support her cancer survival.  In fact, the investigator notes actually show that the alleged rape victim was on multiple medications.  

Medications along with experiencing some trauma from being burglarized at 6' o clock in the morning timeframe could cause a hormonal imbalance in the alleged rape victim's body resulting in anything from overproduction of yeast or other discharge independent of the possiblility of semen being present.

As a reminder, NO internal vaginal DNA match was ever reported in this case.  In addition, NO trace evidence nor biological fluids were ever detected on the "green nightshirt with white lace trim, white bra,  and red floor runner rug" that were collected surrounding the rape case.

So, was semen present in the Augusta, Ga 2007 Walton Way Rape Case?

I conclude that the answer is "no."  No semen was present, and No rape occurred.

Augusta, GA: Missing trial transcripts for 2007 rape trial?



Augusta Chronicle staff writer Sandy Hodson wrote in her 1/16/2008 article that "the prosecutor told the jury that DNA evidence would link Mr. Blocker to the rape."  However, was the DNA evidence ever presented during the trial?

Apparently, it was not presented on the first day of the trial because I believe Ms. Hodson would have stated such a vital piece of information in her article summarizing day one of the 2007 Walton Way rape and robbery trial.

The trial began on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, and continued on Wednesday, January 16, 2008 according to Ms. Hodson's article.

Link to Article "Victim of rape relays ordeal" during the Trial:
http://m.chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2008/01/16/met_180573.shtml#gsc.tab=0

But where are the trial transcripts?

Prisoner Michael Blocker ordered transcripts on 1/23/2008. He says no trial transcripts were included.

Then on 2/21/2010 Prisoner Michael Blocker sent a Pro Se Motion for Trial Transcripts; however, he has seen no trial transcripts. He seems to have received everything, but his trial transcripts.

A statement that I obtained from the court system says that Michael Blocker "chose to plead guilty after some hours of testimony at trial."  Is "some hours of testimony" equivalent to "two days of a trial?"

 Clearly, staff writer Ms. Hodson's article says:

  • There was (at least) a second day to the trial. 
  • Michael Blocker didn't remember any sexual contact with the woman.
  • Michael Blocker pleaded not guilty.
So what compelling testimony happened in this two day trial that would make Michael Blocker plead guilty to rape and waive his right to trial?

Where are the Trial Transcripts for case#2007RCCR00181? and Why is there a sealed Envelope attached to this case on 12/20/2007?

2007 Augusta, GA Rape: The Wrong Man Sentenced!



According to  reporter Lynnsey Gardner of WRDW-TV January 15, 2007 article, the suspect's father, the late Henry Blocker is quoted: 

"They've got the wrong man!  It's just not like Michael to do something like that to a 74-year-old woman.  When they do the DNA test, they should find Michael did not do it."

Then on February 15, 2007 as confirmed by Investigative Journalist Estelle Parsley of WRDW-TV who says they stand by their story that the Augusta, GA police records show a DNA match between Michael Blocker and the alleged rape victim.   The "two sentence" article is pictured above.  

To piggyback on the WRDW-TV story, I personally obtained the DNA report from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations this week to discover additional details:

The DNA report reveals two facts:
  1. "Internal" vaginal/cervical swab was tested from the alleged victim  AND "NO DNA MATCH to Michael Blocker" was reported.
  2. "External" vaginal swab was tested from the alleged victim and there was a DNA Match found attached to Michael Blocker.
Conclusion:   Michael Blocker WAS present at the crime scene as a burglar NOT A RAPIST. Michael's father was right!  Michael Blocker is a repeat offender of burglary and other NON-VIOLENT crimes, but never classified as a violent man in his past.  Michael Blocker is NOT a rapist.

So why is Michael Blocker now serving a LIFE Sentence for rape along with burglary and kidnapping sentences?

The Augusta, GA Court System says:  Michael Blocker plead guilty to burglary, kidnapping, and rape charges after some hours of testimony at a trial.

Inmate Michael Blocker says: He waited almost a whole year in jail for a trial. He refused the plea deals offered.  He was given medications prior to his courtroom hearings making his mind unclear.  He trusted his public defender's oversight because the public defender was recommended by his family's attorney who withdrew from the case.  Michael Blocker thought that he was signing a plea deal for twenty years for burglary only.  When the judge announced 20 years plus 20 years plus a life sentence, he knew that got railroaded by the Augusta, GA court system.  He was tricked into signing guilty pleas for all three charges while under duress on January 16, 2008.  He has been fighting for exoneration of the rape and kidnapping charges ever since.

Consistently, Michael Blocker has requested transcripts, case records, written letters, etc. year after year since 2008.

The alleged rape victim died at age 80 (eighty) in 2013.  It is a shame that the victim's rapist may still be at large if a rape indeed occurred. 

Also, February 20, 2007, one month after the Walton Way rape story, a 63 year old Phinizy Road woman claimed that she was also raped, but the deputies said there was no evidence to support that.  

Since Michael Blocker was in police custody by February 2007 at the time of the second reported rape of an elderly woman, maybe the "real rapist" struck again?  Or maybe both women fabricated their stories?  Does any of this case make any sense? This was a simple burglary case that turned into something huge!  Why?  Consider this: 

How many people received career promotions over Michael Blocker's "high profile" case?

Something to think about . . .   #exonerateMichael

Michael Blocker is NOT a rapist.  I am currently seeking attorneys to exonerate Michael of rape and kidnapping charges.

I encourage the FBI to investigate how people are being railroaded in Augusta, Georgia for crimes they did not commit.
