You can sit there in trial and defend your ass all you want against it... and if the scumbag sits on the witness stand and says nothing but "I was afraid" you are getting hemmed up. I know... I fought it in trial and lost.

I have Police reports saying he admitted to a detective he lied. no help.



What is referenced in the thread about what Rackoff said in my mind and perspective is true. I think it is all about generating revenue and padding the DA/prosecutor/City Attorneys' resume. The judicial system has NOTHING to do with justice.

I know of a guy who refused to take a plea bargain and the judge forced it on him, saying "You confessed to breaking the law and I'm not wasting the court's time and money on a jury trial, so I'm accepting a plea of guilty and you can't appeal." Appointed attorney said nothing, transcript went "missing," and that was that. Rural one judge county in another state with zero judicial oversight.

Sounds like when the video of my questioning went "missing" when the detective went way off on a tangeant that had nothing to do with the issue at hand. I even asked for it during discovery. City Attorney's office said, "I'm sorry the Aurora PD does not have the video of your interview.
