Non-violent offender gets Lockdown in Augusta, GA Jail

"If you recall, she stated that Michael was placed on lockdown and would not be able to have visitors until Tuesday when he was released from lockdown. Michael wanted to make sure that his dad did not show up for visitation unnecessarily."

Based on this April 27, 2007 letter from the PRIVATE Attorney that the Blocker Family hired, Michael C. Blocker was on lockdown at the Augusta, GA jail despite the DNA Report only confirming his presence as a burglar.  Michael was never a "monster."  Both private attorney and public defender never described Michael as violent.  There was never any proof of violence in this case except how the Richmond County jail, Richmond County Court System, and the Georgia Prison System has subjected Michael C. Blocker to unfair and unconstitutional treatment due to gross prosecutorial misconduct and racketeering.

The personal lockdown in 2007 and the 2016 prison facility lockdown wreaked havoc on Michael Blocker mentally, but he relies on his Christian faith as a Jehovah Witness to weather this storm.

Michael C. Blocker filed a complaint in 2007 with the Georgia Bar surrounding the inadequate law services provided by this private attorney.  The Georgia State Bar was unable to satisfactorily settle Michael C. Blocker's grievance.

"I further informed you that my fee to try this case would be in the $30,000.00 to $50,0000.00 range and that was an amount that you could not afford."

Since when goes a burglary case cost $30k to $50k?  If he had that kind of disposable money, then he would not be a burglar is just my guess.

So everybody is always quick to say - get a private attorney . . .   well, here is proof of what hiring a private attorney gets you in some cases  . . . NOWHERE!!!

#exonerateMichael

A non-violent offender should NOT be sentenced to life without parole.  This false imprisonment at the Georgia State level is unconstitutional.

Injustice continues in Augusta, Georgia

 The #exonerateMichael campaign continues.

As I continue to connect the dots in Richmond County, Augusta, Georgia, I realized that the current 2016 mayor Dr. Hardie Davis Jr., who has served as a pastor, took over Edward Tarver's Senate seat in 2010. Dr. Davis was elected mayor in 2015, but he is definitely not new to the Augusta, Georgia political scene.



From: Ballotpedia

2010 special election

On February 2, 2010, Davis was elected to the Georgia Senate from Georgia's 22nd Senate district in a special election to replace Ed Tarver, who resigned to be a U.S. Attorney. Davis defeated Harold V. Jones in the runoff election.^[5] Davis received 5,802 votes in the election, while Jones received 4,656 votes.^[6] 

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!

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.

COUNSELLORS,  Can you find in your heart to correct this situation by releasing Michael C. Blocker?  It would be greatly appreciated.

Blessed are the Homeless For They are Free

The first time that I saw a homeless man was in Grand Central Station in New York City, NY.  The gentleman was passed out on the stairway.  People were walking right by him getting on and off the trains.  In my mind,  I saw a man in need of help.  My first instinct was natural.  I was "concerned" for another human being.  I wondered if this man was dead or alive.  There were no mobile phones back then. I appeared to be the only one making such a fuss about a man being passed out.  Then a kind stranger said to me that the man was probably homeless and sleeping, and that it would be safer to leave him alone. I took this stranger's advice.  From that point on, I learned to ignore the homeless population.  It was the safe thing to do.

Now, twenty years later, I, like many of you, have also ignored the prison system because I felt only bad people were trapped in it.  It was the safe thing to do.

Now, it is the time of awakening. 

Ignoring mass incarceration is no longer the safe thing to do. 

People are being railroaded into mass incarceration for crimes that they did not commit on a regular basis regardless of educational background. The traps are constantly being reset.  Now, I have a cousin trapped in the system with a life sentence for crime(s) that he did not commit.  I am being told that it happens all the time.  How can modern day slavery be commonplace in 2016?  How can people turn a deaf ear to allow this injustice to continue?  Surely, people must see that this "organized criminal injustice system" becomes stronger every single time someone gets railroaded without any contest.  The court systems are out of control in towns such as Augusta, Georgia, USA with erroneous arrest dates on file, missing trial transcripts, and other corrupt malpractices.

Mass incarceration makes homelessness look like a "walk in the park" for at least, the homeless are

FREE.

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?

Rapist gets life in prison, no parole by Sandy Hodson

Is Michael C. Blocker under False Imprisonment in Georgia?

Michael C. Blocker is being detained in a Georgia prison based what seems to be an unlawful guilty plea.

The Guilty Plea seems unlawful for the following reasons:

• The plea was involuntary.
• The plea was not knowingly.
• The plea was not intelligently.
•  Michael C. Blocker states that he was on medications during the trial that began on Tuesday, January 15, 2008.
•  Michael C. Blocker had ineffective assistance of counsel.
• AND The trial transcripts are missing!

Since the trial transcripts are missing, prisoner Michael C. Blocker's statements seem just as credible as those who prosecuted him.  He should have been presumed innocent until proven guilty especially since there was NO reported Rape DNA.

Furthermore:

• The State failed to get a trial conviction.
• The State can not try Michael C. Blocker again without risk of double jeopardy.
• The State's primary witness is now deceased without a trial transcript testimony.

Let us also recap recent media coverage of the prosecution team on the Michael C. Blocker "rape case":

NOTE: This article hints at a romantic link to D.A. Ashley Wright.

I digress here.

The bottom line:  

• Michael C. Blocker was denied a change of venue in spite of his "high profile" case.
• Michael C. Blocker plead NOT GUILTY.
• No evidence has been presented to support a "Life Sentence without Parole" (LWOP Sentencing).
• Michael C. Blocker waited in Richmond County Jail for about a year for a fair trial that was stolen from him.
• Michael C. Blocker's family was quoted $30,000 to $50,000 by a private attorney to try his case.
• Michael C. Blocker had ineffective assistance of counsel on multiple habeas corpus filings as well.

This alleged False Imprisonment of Michael C. Blocker should be resolved as soon as possible.
