DNA Report Publish for #exonerateMichael Case

Georgia states "report can not be reproduced except in full without written permission of the laboratory.

This is the 2 pages of the DNA Report surrounding the #exonerateMichael case.




It is up to the state to figure out how there is an external DNA match. 

No fingerprints found.
No signs of bodily injury.
No forced entry.
NO internal Vaginal DNA Match
No DNA Expert Testified
So why does
Michael Christopher Blocker
Have a Life without Parole sentence attached to a Nolo Contendere in the Southern District of Georgia?

Come on Judge J. Randal Hall, Judge Danny Craig, Judge Ashley Wright, Judge James Blanchard, Jr.?

Out of all the folks you all railroaded in Augusta, GA - Michael's case is the most ridiculous, outright disgusting case of prosecutorial misconduct that is on the books. You all should be under the prison for the death of my uncle and my aunt as well as the collateral damage you all created trying to cover one fucked up decision after the next. I'm sorry for my casual words. I was much more professional in 2015. Professionalism got me still fighting into 2020.

Please exonerate Michael immediately or just die. Soon. There will be plenty of people raising up a glass! (Versus the old Rebel Yell!)

Prison Sentences: Will Georgia ever take ownership of endangerment of their Correctional staff?

Georgia blames the correctional officers for their own deaths.

Inmates: Rowe, 43, has been serving life without parole since 2002, and Dubose, 24, began a 20-year sentence in 2015. Both were convicted of armed robbery and other violent crimes. They have been cellmates more than once in Georgia's prisons, had known each other for "quite a while" and may have planned the escape together, Department of Corrections Assistant Commissioner Ricky Myrick said.

It is Interesting that the two "so called violent" prison escapees did NOT go on a killing spree from Georgia to Tennessee. In reality, Rowe and Dubose were never "killers" prior to their Georgia sentencing.  So what does that say about the Georgia Department of Corrections?

So let's recap again:  Georgia's excessive sentencing caused the escapees' desperation for freedom at the cost of the correctional staff's lives, and then Georgia Department of Corrections blame the dead correctional officers for being dead.


Putnam County prosecutor (i.e. the State of Georgia) now is considering another excessive sentencing for the two prison escapees. The death penalty?  Why?  You just blamed the dead officers for their own death.  The Escapees did not kill anyone else.  So where is the logic?

Georgia is NOT taking ownership of how they need prison sentencing reform at the court level.  They are sentencing too many people for life that ARE NOT KILLERS.  

People habitually carry concealed weapons with or without a permit. "Armed" is commonplace in 2017.   Let's look at "Robbery?"   Bank levies are legalized robberies of your bank account.  Everyday Americans are constantly being robbed by poor decisions and capitalists take advantage of it.  White collar robberies are happening just as much as blue collar petty scams.

So everyone is trying to get their taste of the American dream sometimes legally, but by unethically means like bank levies and sometimes, it is just that good ole illegal heist mentality that continues from the days of Christopher Columbus.

It is all the same thing. Georgia needs prison sentencing reform.  The sentencing computation no longer computes to correct anything.

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.

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":

Richard Roundtree and Ashley Wright

Richard Roundtree (formerly Sergeant and Prosecutor)

Judge Daniel J. Craig (formerly District Attorney)

Ronnie Strength (formerly Sheriff) and Richard Roundtree (current Sheriff)

District Attorney Ashley Wright (formerly Assistant District Attorney)
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.

The Presumption of Guilt in Augusta, Georgia Rape Case

Augusta Chronicle article dated January 14, 2007 re: "Affluent suburb."

According to Augusta Chronicle staff writer Justin Boron, 
Sheriff Strength said
 "the attacker's choice of a victim so much older than himself has led investigators to believe they are dealing with someone abnormal."

"Alleged Rape" Suspect Michael Blocker describes how the jail obtained his buccal swabs:
I was taken downstairs from the 6th floor in Richmond County Jail to the 1st floor and placed in a restraining chair, handcuffed behind me and legs shackled.  I was forced to open my mouth so a detective could place two Q-tips in and rub them around my jaw.  He then placed them in an envelope and I was taken back to the 6th floor.  I was locked in my cell and wasn't allowed to come out since my interview after my arrest.

Sheriff Strength said his office will not let this type of criminal remain on the streets. "Guys like this, we're going to catch him," he said.


On Tuesday,  January 8, 2008, Assistant District Attorney Ashley Wright states "I don't think that I can make him anything but LWOP. Sorry." (LWOP means Life without parole)

"Alleged Rape" Suspect Michael Blocker says

he remained in the Richmond County Jail on the 6th floor for around a year.  After the absence of his 1st bond hearing where his private attorney did not show, he waited for another bond hearing to be scheduled, but it never was.  His private attorney who was quoting $30,000 to $50,000 to try the case withdrew; thereby leaving his defense in the hands of a public defender who did not  even question the "alleged rape" victim upon the defense's turn to cross-examine the witness on the stand.

As stated in my previous articles on this blog:
  1. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations never reported ANY internal vaginal DNA match. (NO MATCH)
  2. The results from the sexual assault kit showed No abrasions, No bruises, zero tears, zero lacerations, zero bleeding, zero severity.
  3. "Alleged rape" victim was age 74.
  4.  "Alleged rape" victim says suspect made a phone call on her residential line before fleeing, but only incoming calls were on the readout. 
  5. It was 38 degree weather, and "alleged rape" victim says she was sexually assaulted in a green nightshirt with white lace trim; however, NO Biological fluids were detected at initial inspection by an on-site sergeant.

The family regrets the burglary.

In regards to the "alleged rape,"  the family is seeking the following at this time:
  1. Life sentence vacated 
  2. Fair trial (possibly in a different city)
  3. Exoneration of rape allegations


Awaiting status from:
  • US Department of Justice
  • National Action Network
  • American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

Life Sentences for Crimes in Prominent Neighborhoods

Quote from this June 10, 2013 article: "Also, crying intermittently were family members of the 20-year old defendant,  Chauncey Sterling, who could be sent to prison for life if found guilty."

Then on or around about June 13, 2013 Charlotte Observer Reporter Elizabeth Leland reports "Superior Court Judge Lisa Bell announced the mandatory sentence for Robert Barber's murder - Life without the possibility of parole." (LWOP)

I have written about this "Shooting of Hospital Executive" in South Charlotte, NC on this blog before. http://applebaumparadigm.blogspot.com/2013/06/chauncey-sterling-case-similar-to.html 

"Southpark's Foxcroft Neighborhood" wording implies that it is a prominent Neighborhood.  The life sentencing in this case seems to send a message of  "maximum" sentencing when crimes are committed within prominent neighborhoods.  

All Crime is wrong. I wonder if all the wrongful deaths as a result of police brutality will also yield "life without parole" sentencing for all the officers convicted?

On a separate note, here is a different article surrounding another prominent neighborhood in Augusta, Georgia named "Summerville."

"Summerville" Rape

The article dated January 31, 2007 states that an alleged rape of an elderly Summerville woman could send the suspect "back to prison for the rest of his life if convicted."  And you guessed it . . . the suspect was sentenced to life in prison on or about January 15, 2008 despite the fact that rape seemed to be fabricated.   You can learn more about this case at http://applebaumparadigm.blogspot.com/2015/12/2007-augusta-ga-rape-case-revisited.html

The bottom line is that there is a sentencing pattern for crimes committed in prominent neighborhoods.  The pattern is called "life sentences."

Chauncey Sterling Case Similar to George Zimmerman case


http://thecharlotteweekly.com/news/2011/06/hearing-set-in-trial-of-southpark-murder-suspect/

http://thecharlotteweekly.com/news/2011/07/breaking-da-wont-seek-death-in-southpark-murder-case/

 This article is based on information obtained from CharlotteObserver.com and The Stonehaven Community Patrol online article which was stated to be based off a Charlotte Observer article by Elizbeth Leland.

Prosecutor name: Clayton Jones
Murder Victim:  Carolinas Healthcare System executive Robert Barber

Defendant's attorney:   Scott Gsell
Defendant:  First time offender Chauncey Sterling (no prior record before the murder according to the South Charlotte Weekly June 9, 2013 online article)

It is my opinion that it is not in the best interest of the defendant to demonstrate how he murdered a man during his own jury trial.  This is just ridiculous.

Obviously, the young man seemed to be guilty of attempted robbery, but there was one gun standing between a White man and a Black youth.

This situation is very similar to the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman case in Florida.  If a gun is involved, then someone may get killed.

In both cases, the person bringing the gun to the fight ended up living.

So Chauncey Sterling did not die the day of the murder; however, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.     I am sorry for the Barber family loss.  I am sorry that Chauncey Sterling was still trying to figure out his purpose in life when he took Mr. Barber's life.

Chauncey Sterling seemed to be the typical misdirected Black youth according to what I have read.  Why would his attorney have the defendant demonstrate how he murdered a man in front of the jury?

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/testimony-wrapping-southpark-murder-trial/nYKdX/

This same defense attorney, Scott Gsell, lost a June 2011 case where Montrez Williams was found guilty of murdering two other youths who were bullying him. Williams was sentenced to life in prison.

According to the story from wbtv.com, Montrez Williams seemed to have been stuck in a position where he felt that he had to kill or be killed.  He made his choice.  I understand his choice.  Sometimes the devil gets into people, and they can not be reasoned with.  You can only hope that the police will be diligent in maintaining peace and preserving your rights to feel safe without having to take justice in your own hands.
