Keep up the good work!!!
EUGENE, Ore. - Teachers in the Eugene School District unanimously agreed to cut their own pay next school year in the hope they will avoid layoffs.
The teachers voted Monday night to cut seven days of work in the 2009-2010 school year, a move that equals a 3.5 percent pay cut.

russ & alex go to florence
FLORENCE — Lane County’s sheriff and district attorney will head to the City of Rhododendrons on Wednesday to talk about public safety in an effort to clear up misconceptions about the government’s budget woes and gather feedback from whoever shows up.
The lunchtime meeting at the Siuslaw Fire Hall will be the first of a series of meetings throughout the region to talk about the county’s understaffed jail, patrols and prosecution, Sheriff Russ Burger said.District Attorney Alex Gardner said another purpose of the meeting is to clarify what can and can’t be done to solve some of the county’s problems.
“Some people think public safety gets all the money,” he said, noting that the slice of the general fund going to public safety has shrunk from 70 percent to below 57 percent. “It could get even worse.”

Dear Mr. Frederickson,
On December 9, 2008, I watched the Oregon Parole Board (Steven R. Powers, Darcey Baker, Candace Wheeler) vote 3-0 to deny your daughter’s request for parole on the grounds that she “remains” a danger to society.
A few days later, I went to the Clerk’s Office at the Wayne Lyman Morse Federal Courthouse and wrote a check for $45.00 so that I could look at the file of one of Diane’s two habeas appeals (96-cv-0900-HA!) of her illegal sentence from Lane County Circus Court Judge Gregory Foote based on her wrongful conviction by a jury hoodwinked by Mr. Foote for a crime that was committed by a drug dealer named James Claire Haynes and financed by a drug dealer named former Lane County District Attorney J. Patrick Horton.
At the time (~12.15.08), I did not know Horton from Hugi, Foote from Staffel, Wuest from Alton or Haggerty from Marsh. Now I know the truth about how your grandchildren were assaulted by James Claire Haynes and your daughter was framed by former Lane County District Attorney J. Patrick Horton and his cronies (former Lane County Sheriff David Burks, Springfield Police Chief Jerry Smith, Lane County Circuit Court Judge Gregory Foote).
At the time, United States (OR) District Court Judge Thomas Coffin was a Federal investigator investigating the Lane County District Attorney (Horton) and Sheriff’s (Burks) Offices because cocaine kept going missing from the evidence room. I suspect that Federal Judge Coffin has known the truth all along. Similarly, I suspect United States (OR) District Court Chief Judge Ann Aiken, a former Lane County Circuit Court Judge (and personal friend of Mr. Foote) has known the truth about Foote, Downs, Horton and Hugi for a very long time.
Eugene-based/Morse-housed Chief Judge Aiken and Judge Coffin collaborate with their Portland-based/Hatfield-housed colleagues Ancer Haggerty (96-cv-0900-HA) and Malcolm Marsh (CV 04-6215-MA) to continue to illegally, unethically and cost-ineffectively incarcerate Ms. Downs for a crime financed by former LCDA Horton. Ms. Aiken and Mr. Coffin tolerate the following unprofessional, unethical and hopefully illegal behavior of their colleagues:
1. (February 8, 1999) former Oregon District Court Chief Judge Ancer Haggerty rejects Diane’s habeas petition without a hearing (96-cv-0900-HA).
2. (November 15, 2000) Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Justices Kozinski, Schwarzer and Kleinfeld affirm Judge Haggerty’s February 8, 1999 decision. (99-35266)
3. (June 1, 2006) Oregon District Court Judge Malcolm Marsh rejects Diane’s habeas petition (CV 04-6215-MA)
What a mockery Chief Judge Ann Aiken, former Chief Judge Ancer Haggerty and Judges Thomas Coffin and Malcolm Marsh make of the Constitution that Pat Tillman (AZ), Marc Lee (OR), Cody Eggleston (OR) and Thomas Tucker (OR) died for.
I am sorry that the state of Oregon continues to waste its excruciatingly scarce resources abusing your daughter.

downs, boots and proctor
In the file of 96-cv-0900-HA (one of the habeus petitions filed by Diane Downs), there is a piece of paper stamped with the numbers 5003212 and 9120313. (Personally, I would stamp each page with ONE number and have the numbers range from 1 to the total number of stamped pages instead of stamping each page with two numbers between 5 and 10 million.)
This paper consists of a list of hand-written notes dated 5-21-83. It describes 7 phone calls received (by the Lane County Sheriff’s Office?) from people alleging to have information about the shooting on Old Mohawk Road in Springfield on May 19, 1983.
Item #2 reads: Joe Isaac 688-1008 overheard conversation at work that a co-worker thinks he knows the suspect but is afraid to give info due to the “suspect” being affiliated with the Free Souls. Isaac works at W side post office 687-6633 for further info.
Had this lead been followed up on, it almost certainly would have led to James Claire Haynes. But of course, LCSO Sheriff Burks and Detectives Dick Tracy, Kurt Wuest and Doug Welch were in cahoots with JCH, who had been hired by LCDA J. Patrick Horton.
This piece of paper (5003212/9120313) alone should be enough to justify overturning the conviction of Diane Downs.
On Monday, March 23, 2009 I met a man at Sheriff Road Crew who has the same relationship to Christopher Boots and Eric Proctor that Joe Isaac has to Diane Downs.
But while Joe Isaac heard about the murder of Cheryl Downs after it happened, Greg Wiseman overheard people talking about the murder of John Oliver before it happened.
Mr. Wiseman told me that he was at a party when he overheard people talking about murdering John Oliver before it happened. He was very young (13?) and when John Oliver actually was murdered, just like he’d heard, he freaked out. I think he went to the crime scene and encountered Springfield Police Department then-Sergeant/now-Chief Jerry Smith, who bullied him into keeping quiet about what he knew.
In addition to meeting Mr. Wiseman and hearing about the murder of John Oliver in Springfield, OR on June 7, 1983 and the Jerry-Smith-enabled false conviction of Eric Proctor and Christopher Boots (defended by Mary Ann Bearden) for the very first time, I also met someone who was at Diane Downs’ trial.
While I did not enjoy being one of Deputy Spicer’s slaves for 24 hours last week and am not looking forward to 24 more hours this week, I do appreciate the access to useful informants. Aside from Mr. Wiseman and the fellow who still believes Christie was telling the truth at Diane’s trial, I also met a guy who told me that when Sheriff Burks was top gun, the drug dealers paid him $25K/week – often dropping off the money at Sheriff’s Road Crew sites like the one we were at! I also learned Sheriff Burks' secretary (whose daughter was a tweaker) would sell info for $500.
Sheesh….the way things are going, I might meet James Claire Haynes himself on Deputy Spicer’s bus this week!

hoffman destruction company
If it were possible to turn dirt into water, you could fill up a nice-size mountain lake with what’s coming out of the ground to make room for a basketball arena and parking garage at the University of Oregon.
But it isn’t, which means finding someplace to put a quantity of dirt that would top off the beds of more than 100,000 full-size pickup trucks. That’s a lot of dirt.
Fortunately for Hoffman Construction, the general contractor on the arena project, all that earth doesn’t have to be hauled all the way to the mountains. It’s all finding homes within about a 20-minute drive of the pit off Franklin Boulevard.
In fact, the 320,000 cubic yards of material coming out of the pit is something of a windfall for a couple of Lane County operations, which get it delivered free of charge.
“That’s a heck of a deal,” said Patti Hansen, who oversees the Short Mountain Landfill as head of the Lane County Waste Management Division.

David Cooley, 49, a 21-year Air Force veteran who had worked for Lockheed Martin as a test pilot since 2003 committed suicide today and wasted $140 million of American taxpayers money by intentionally crashing a radar-evading F-22 that was capable of carrying air-to-air missiles and of ground attack as well.

lane county abuse of prisoners
Dear Christy,
Thank you for listening to me earlier this afternoon. I am a former UO psychology professor and former director of the Decision, Risk and Management Sciences Program at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VA. I am currently an unpaid activist focusing on malfeasance and incompetence in the Lane County and Eugene governments, with a focus on the criminal justice system.
Due to whistleblower harassment from Lane County District Attorney Alex Gardner, I was sentenced to 9 days of jail or “equivalent.” Equivalent is the Sheriff’s Work Crew, which I did yesterday and today. It has come to my attention that about 6-10 people a day are sent to work at the Waste Management facility near Goshen. I am terrified to report back tomorrow at 7:30 because I am afraid of this assignment, based on what I have heard about it. And I am horrified and outraged that the Lane County Sheriff’s Department and the Lane County Wastewater Management Department collaborate in violating prisoners' civil rights.
Prisoners are forced to walk through human feces and syringes. They are exposed to rabid rats and skunks. They are sprayed by skunks. They are forced to interact with rotting skunk corpses. These are violations of people's civil rights, which exposes Lane County to dozens of lawsuits from people who are abused in this way.
In a March, 2006 Order and Opinion regarding a civil suit against the City of Eugene, Federal Judge Thomas Coffin noted that in order to win a civil suit against a municipality, the plaintiff must show that the municipality was deliberately indifferent to the plaintiff's constitutional rights. Berry v. Baca clarifies that it “must be a conscious or deliberate choice among various alternatives.”
Prior to today, the management of Lane County could argue that it was not aware that it was violating the constitutional rights of prisoners assigned to the Sheriff’s Work Crew who were assigned to the Waste Management facility. But after today, the decision to expose people to rabies, hepatitis and other feces/syringe/rodent borne adverse effects can be viewed as a conscious and deliberate choice.
Even if Lane County does not ethically care about abusing prisoners in this way, it might want to consider the financial consequences associated with continuing this epidemic of civil rights violations.
Thanks,
Deborah Frisch, Ph.D.

poet's corner
In Tucson, I lived in a neighborhood called Poet’s Corner. Actually, “lived” is too strong a word to describe my existence from September, 2003-June, 2006. “Barely survived in a quasi-molten state” would be closer to the truth. Apparently, neurons melt at 100 degrees. That means your neurons are melted in Tucson, 95% of the time. But no one in Tucson seems to notice because well, their neurons are melted. But I noticed.
Tucson is a huge gravel pit that people pretend is habitable due to the Federal government’s success so far in bullying relatively water rich states to tithe some of their aqua to their amigos caliente. Tucson is a great place to live, if you’re gravel. Otherwise, it’s exactly like hell, only the margaritas are better.
I was very excited when I learned that one of the streets in Poet’s Corner was named after a poet named Joyce Kilmer.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth.
Poe, Edgar Allan.
Burns, Robert.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell.
But then I found out that Joyce Kilmer was a man, whose most famous poem was Trees.
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
I was very disappointed that Joyce was a man until I did some research and discovered that Joyce Kilmer’s wife Alice was also a poet and the famous Trees poems sounds exactly like Alice Kilmer’s other poems and nothing like Joyce Kilmer’s other poems. I am 99% sure that Alice Kilmer wrote the four famous lines of Trees and Joyce Kilmer wrote the eight non-famous lines.
After a few months in Tucson, I mimicked Alice Kilmer’s Trees.
I sure would like to see a tree
The kind in OR, not AZ.
A Douglas fir would sure be sweet
I’m getting tired of mesquite.
I don’t remember when I was introduced to Robert Service. Hmm. If I hadn’t moved to Tucson, I would not have met Robert Service or had a bond with Robert Lehner. That almost makes it worth it. [It's a moot point, since meeting Edward Abbey's ex-wife Renee Downing made Tucson worth it!]
One of my favorite Robert Service poems is Comfort.
Say! You’ve struck a heap of trouble
Bust in business, lost your wife;
No one cares a cent about you,
You don’t care a cent for life;
Hard luck has of hope bereft you,
Health is failing, wish you’d die—
Why you’ve still the sunshine left you
And the big, blue sky.
If Alice Kilmer rewrote Robert Service’s Comfort along the lines of Trees, it might go like this:
Nothing else can cure my ills
Quite as well as daffodils.
Of roses I have had my fill
Of daffodils I never will!
Winter’s over – spring is here!
Ground is dry – sky is clear!
Ciao to cough – adieu achoo
Yikes I’m writing in haiku!

down by law
In 14.5 hours until I’m Sheriff Russell “burglar” Burger’s biach. Just remember if you see me walking down the street, walk on by.
And if you see me on the side of the road, no matter how menial the task I am performing or how bedraggled I look, here’s what I’m thinking:
I am picturing Lane County Commissioners Faye Stewart and Bill Dwyer and Lane County Budget Committee Chair David Crowell wearing pornographic cow costumes like the ones found on the web site of United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex “boner4bovines” Kozinski, engaging in pornographic activities with LCDA Alex “I got a perfect 100 on my IQ test” Gardner and Lane County Circus Court Judge Gregory REDACT Foote.

abbey and morse
The one thing we could do for a country like Mexico is to stop every illegal immigrant at the border, give him a good rifle and a case of ammunition, and send him home.
A good philosopher is one who does not take ideas seriously.
Edward Abbey
When I entered the Wayne Morse Federal Building at about 2:00 p.m. yesterday, there was a small demonstration of immigration reform activists on the large sidewalk area on the southwest side of the courthouse. Since I parked on the southeast side of the courthouse (next to the faux-adobe cinder block structure that is being preserved for obscure reasons), it was easy for me to avoid the mass activists. There was a Eugene Police Officer standing inside the building, next to the metal detector, staring out the window.
When I left the building at about 3:00 p.m., I had to fight my way through a crowd of densely packed people that extended all the way up the steps of the Courthouse. I had to get my Pat Tillman on in order to successfully complete my egress of the Federal property that was suddenly getting its Tijuana on. I am not joking. It was infuriating and could easily have been terrifying and it was done under the watchful eyes of the Eugene Police Department officer who was now stationed outside the building but was limited to protecting the entry to the building, not the 30 or so steps leading up to it.
I’m not sure if the EPD officer who stood and watched me fight my way through the hordes of people on the stairs at 3:00 p.m. was the same guy who was staring out the window at 2:00 p.m. I’m not sure why he did not assist me break through the crowd of people on 100% of the steps of the courthouse, obstructing my egress. By the time I got to the ground, I had a little standoff with two people who acted like they weren’t going to get out of my way and were prepared to force me to digress from the linear path I was on to my vehicle, parked at a meter a few hundred feet east.
The collaboration between Homeland Security and the Eugene Police Department at the Wayne Morse Federal Courthouse on March 20, 2009 was just like their collaboration at Ken Kesey Plaza on May 30, 2008 – so comitragically incompetent, they make the Keystone Cops look like Starsky and Hutch.
Thank you to the demonstrators for making me see that Edward Abbey’s suggestion was not a joke, like I thought prior to March 20, 2009 but a sound policy suggestion that President Obama ought to seriously consider!

three naughty pigs
To: Patty Perlow, Chief Deputy, Lane County District Attorney
From: Deborah Frisch
Re: three more felonious p-words (8.20.06)
Since the three year statute of limitations for felonies is approaching, I’d also like to set up a time to file allegations of felonies by EPD Officer CT Vreim, EPD Officer Conner and EPD Sergeant Marsh on August 20, 2006. After a male alleging to be an EPD officer called me on the phone and telephonically harassed me for a half hour, three EPD officers drove outside of the Eugene city limits and assaulted me and kidnapped me and held me hostage at 101 W. 5th Avenue for 20 hours.

2. Kidnapping ORS 163.225 Class B felony
In contrast to 2108-26446, in 2106-16276, there is no conflict of interest with the LCDA and thus, I would be fine talking to Mr. Hasselman, Vill or Lane about the matter.

Re: three more felonious p-words (8.20.06)
Since the three year statute of limitations for felonies is approaching, I’d also like to set up a time to file allegations of felonies by EPD Officer CT Vreim, EPD Officer Conner and EPD Sergeant Marsh on August 20, 2006. After a male alleging to be an EPD officer called me on the phone and telephonically harassed me for a half hour, three EPD officers drove outside of the Eugene city limits and assaulted me and kidnapped me and held me hostage at 101 W. 5th Avenue for 20 hours.

Being prosecuted by JoAnn Miller, defended by David Saydack and judged by Douglas Mitchell is like turning your fate over to a team from the Special Olympics.

The [snivilian review] board’s leading proponent of reviewing cases in private has been Chairman Norton Cabell. He resigned Wednesday for personal reasons, Reynolds said.

I am in the process of taking various legal actions related to what I allege to be whistleblower harassment by Mr. Gardner. Unless Mr. Gardner mails me a notarized letter alleging in writing that he did not communicate with the alleged victim in the Lane County Courthouse on November 4, 2008 I will assume this allegation is true and present it as true to Oregon District Court Chief Judge Ann Aiken, Oregon Court of Appeals Chief Justice David Brewer and other relevant decision makers.

eweb's coed
But on Tuesday, the [EWEB Riverfront Master Plan] advisory team, working by consensus rather than majority vote, decided to endorse Rowell Brokaw’s higher fee.
Wow. In the name of progressiveness, Jeannine Parisi (EWEB Public Relations Department) and Nan Laurence (Eugene Planning Department) facilitated a team that used a process that favors bullies (consensus) over a process that favors fairness (majority rule), in the name of eugene sustainable/progressive/participatory/woowoo values.
You gals are giving Sustainability Manager Felicity Fahr a run for her Franklins as most Pathological Allegedly Progressive public servants in Eugene!
I couldn't agree less with the Will Rogers who said "I never met a man I didn't like."
I couldn't agree more with the Will Rogers who said "I don't write jokes. I just watch the government and report what I see."
Save the riparian ecosystem glorified in Ed's Coed and Animal House!
Just say NO to EWEB's Master (and I do mean masta!) plan!

Re: followup to yesterday’s request
Dear Angela,
I want to set up an appointment as soon as possible to view 2106-16276 which is 100% closed and 2108-26446 which is now 100% out of the hands of the LCDA. Prior to his departure, Mr. Harcleroad stated in writing that I could come to your office and view 2106-16276 whenever I wanted. I want to view the file or files today or tomorrow since the courthouse is closed on Friday and I have to report for sheriff’s road crew next week.
So please do not ignore the request the way you have ignored 100% of the public records requests I have submitted since Mr. Harcleroad was replaced by Mr. Gardner. [As you know, you responded to 100% of my public records requests submitted during Mr. Harcleroad's tenure. In contrast to the bipolar attitude to public records requests exhibited by LCDA, EPD PIO Melinda Kletzok has responded to almost 100% of my requests during the tenure of former Chief Lehner and Chief Kerns. SPD PIO has responded to 0% of my requests.]
Please call me and let me know when I can come view these files, the way I viewed the LCDA's file of EPD officer Shawn Trotter's manslaughter of Ryan Salisbury.
Thanks,

heckled at china blue
china blue is closed today through march twenty-something. yesterday, i was sitting next to a table of people who were obviously math grad students. as i left, i started in on my favorite joke:
you know, i was in a pi eating contest last week....i got through 3.1415 but i couldn't eat 9.
but right after i said "week" one of the geeks said "yup, that's what it looks like."
wow. harsh. heckled in the middle of my own joke. i bet that would not have happened to me on march 16, 2009 if i'd been doing the three hots and a cot thing at 101 w. fifth avenue, as deputy lcda miller requested.
speaking of which, epd captain swenson was shocked to see me at the civilian review board meeting in the aptly named mcnutt room last night.
he said "hey, deb, what are you doing here - i heard you were in jail". kind of like going up to your mother-in-law at thanksgiving and saying "hey, what are you doing here - i thought you died during your last round of chemotherapy!"

last night's meeting
at the eugene civilian review board meeting last night, police auditor reynolds provided an update regarding the Eugene Police Department's collaboration with Homeland Security to agitate peaceful anti-pesticide activists into a physical altercation at ken kesey plaza at broadway and willamette on may 30, 2008.
ian van ornum wound up at the wrong end of a taser deployed by epd officer judson warden. officer warden was the first epd officer to deploy a taser after the policy was introduced last year. in the inaugural taser incident, officer warden electrocuted vito devaliti because a gang of 14-year olds had told 911 that mr. devaliti had a gun. he actually had a cigar case and charges were never pressed against him.
during roundupgate, two citizens were assaulted and three were falsely arrested. ian van ornum was tased by epd officer judson warden. david owen was physically assaulted by epd sergeant mike gilbert. van ornum, owen and farley were arrested. i am not sure if epd sergeant solesbee, the mastermind of the plan, actually assaulted anyone.
former lcda douglass harcleroad stole the case from the eugene municipal court in june. http://www.articlearchives.com/government-public-administration/government-bodies/71662-1.html
harcleroad declined to press charges against warden, solesbee or gilbert. he decided to press charges against van ornum and farley but not owen. he did add a new name to the list, someone (X) who was not arrested on may 30, 2008.
ms. reynold's update was to alert the audience to the date of mr. van ornum's trial (april 14, 2009) and speculate on what might occur there (jury selection, voir dire). ms. reynolds misspoke and alleged that mr. van ornum was facing felony riot charges. this is not true. the two men who were threatened with felony riot charges (farley and X) backed down at the 35-day settlement conference. van ornum, who is only facing misdemeanor charges, chose not to back down at that, even though there was no sentence involved, just public bootlicking. mr. van ornum is laying the groundwork for a civil suit in Federal court and is willing to risk a few months in jail in order to earn $1 million. stay tuned.
p.s. ms. reynolds did not note (but carol berg-caldwell did) that sergeant solesbee arrested activist josh schlossberg on friday night and threw him in jail. pound for pound, javelinas like epd sergeant bill solesbee, detective mel thompson and officer jimmie mcbride would contribute more to society if they were converted to chorizo and served with eggs and taters.

As you know, I paid you $2407.30 to represent me in Lane County Circuit Court Case 2106-16276. I recently noticed that the copy of the probable cause statement prepared by EPD Officer CT Vreim (391) regarding Case 06-16135 that you provided me (Exhibit A) is not signed by a Lane County Circuit Court Judge.
I assume that a lawyer of your stature would not proceed with a case like this without a copy of a probable cause statement signed by a judge. That is, I assume that you have in your possession a copy of the enclosed probable cause that is signed by a Lane County Circuit Court Judge. Please let me know when the copy is available for pickup.

jimmie "felon" mcbride, epd
A state arbitrator has ruled that Eugene police officials were wrong to discipline a patrol officer for punching a handcuffed suspect who he believed was about to spit on him.
In a Feb. 28 written decision, arbitrator Gary Axon said the city did not have just cause to suspend officer Jimmie McBride for 40 hours without pay after former Police Chief Robert Lehner concluded that McBride used excessive force during the Aug. 24, 2007, arrest of Daniel Grey.
Axon, an arbitrator with the state Employment Relations Board, ordered the city to repay McBride the wages and benefits he lost during his suspension.
Axon’s conclusion that McBride used appropriate force to arrest Gray came after the city police union appealed Lehner’s decision to punish the veteran patrol officer.
Lehner upheld then-Capt. Pete Kerns’ recommendation to sustain an allegation that McBride went too far when he struck Grey with the back of his fist.

jury of my peers
on march 4, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. lane county circuit court judge maurice merten approved my motion to waive my right to a jury trial and exercise my right to a bench trial. the way i figured it, since I was innocent and I believed the evidence would show that, i had a better chance with one moron who knows something about the law than with six morons who know nothing about the law.
heck, if lane county circuit court judge maurice merten had assigned me a jury of my peers after approving my motion to waive my right to a jury trial on march 4, 2009 at 9:30 a.m., he would have assigned 2108-26446 to a woman like debra vogt, lauren holland or cynthia carlson or maybe even lesbian like presiding judge mary ann bearden, right?

Deputy Lane County District Attorney JoAnn Olivine Miller, formerly of Tillamook, has been practicing law for 5 years.
Does anything say trailer trash quite as well as a capital letter inside your first name and Olivine for your middle name? Where'd the she-shyster with poor posture, diction and cognition get her degree? Did she save up enough proof of purchase seals from boxes of corn flakes and fruit loops to get a degree from the kellogg skule of law (which has no relation to the kellogg school of management at northwestern).
Being prosecuted by JoAnn Miller, defended by David Saydack and judged by Douglas Mitchell really, truly, madly, deeply is like turning your fate over to a team from the Special Olympics.

David,
On March 3, 2009 I accused Ms. Miller of prosecutorial misconduct for the dozenth time. One of the reasons the lawyer-client relationship broke down is that you failed to communicate to Judge Mitchell my allegation that on November 4, 2008 Alex "35.7% of Lane County voters chose me" Gardner collaborated with a pathologically perjurous, violently vindictive ex-acquaintance in order to punish me for making fun of him and his cronies (b-word eater bearden, c-word sucker foote, fag stewart, blobby green, thug harcleroad, j. patrick snortin' horton, assman rasmussen, ted crap, etc.).
Given my March 3, 2009 email to you, why did you lie to Judge Mitchell and say that the lawyer-client relationship did not break down until after the trial on March 4, 2009? Given the huge paper trail of my disgust at your blatant (and probably illegal) collaboration with the prosecution (you know, like Jagger did with Hugi) in the weeks leading up to the trial, why did you lie to Judge Mitchell about when the lawyer-client relationship deteriorated to the point where you could no longer ethically represent me?

Dear Christie,
I am not sure if daddy, your new mommy or your new daddy told you that I was convicted yesterday by a jury supervised by Lane County Circuit Court Judge Gregory Foote in the Lane County Courthouse (125 E. 8th Ave.) of murdering Cheryl, paralyzing Dan and injuring you on May 19, 1983 in an unsuccessful attempt to murder all of you and run away to Chandler, Arizona to be with the man of my dreams. No, not Christie and Cheryl’s dad, Steve Downs. No, not Dan’s dad, John Doe. I’m talking about the real, true man of my dreams- Nick Knickerbocker.
As you know, I disagree with your real dad and your fake mom and dad about whether or not I pulled the trigger on May 19, 1983. As you know, you and Dan have been legally prohibited from seeing your biological family (me, grandma, grandpa, uncle Paul) since June 2, 1983 as a result of an order from Lane County Juvenile Court Judge Gregory Foote.
Some day, someone will approach you and tell you you’ve been lied to. When this happens, do not tell your fake mommy and daddy. Tell daddy. Tell your teacher. Tell every grownup you can, except for your fake mommy and daddy.
Remember that I love you and Dan and always will. I have been in hell since James Claire Haynes killed Cheryl on May 19, 1983 and Gregory Foote stole you and Dan on June 2, 1983. Prison’s almost a relief.

Why did you ask for the letters to be faxed to you, instead of to the court so Judge Mitchell could have seen them prior to Thursday, March 12, 2009 the way he had a chance to see your motion?
Why in the world would you go out of your way once again to withhold evidence that is favorable for the defense, after you admitted to the court that the lawyer-client relationship had broken down due to your chronic withholding of evidence favorable to the defense and engaging in other behaviors undeniably favorable to the prosecution?
You know, Dave, you shared with me that you personally believe that Deputy LCDA Miller does not personally like me. I’ll be straight with you too. I don’t think Mr. Volmert or whoever gave you this case likes you very much either. I’m looking at 9 days on the chain gang. You’re looking at a lifetime of post-disbarment, plan b employment.

I have met Mr. Ross [the non-LCPD court-appointed lawyer who would have represented me in the sentencing hearing, had LCCC Judge Mitchell approved LCPD Saydack's motion to withdraw as counsel post-conviction/pre-sentencing] twice before. The first time was in September, 2006 when i met with him to ask if he would represent me prior to retaining Hugh Duvall to represent me in a similar interpersonal dispute. I picked his firm out of the phone book because his law partner was Gary Carl, the man who built/first owner of my house.
In that case, I was handed a stalking petition, cited for stalking and telephonic harassment at 2:30 a.m. when a trio of EPD officers in two cars hightailed it out to my place outside of the limits of Eugene and hauled me into the Lane County Jail for 20 hours for text messaging a former tenant named Barbara Sloat Stipek (a teacher at Oak Hill School) after a man got on the phone, alleged to be an EPD officer told me not to contact her any more.
I text messaged U R NUTZ and that triggered EPD Officer Vreim and two equally synaptically-deficient sidekicks to kidnap me from my property outside of the city limits of eugene and assault me and hold me against my will, without legal authority at 101 W. 5th Avenue. [I did not notice until a few weeks ago that the probable cause statement was notarized but not signed by a judge, something Mr. Duvall failed to notice or chose to withhold from me.]
The second time I encountered Mr. Ross was in the courtroom of Judge Kasubhai while he, Ms. Miller and Mr. Volmert were privately discussing my private life. Mr. Ross might remember me if you say it was a day he was representing a tearful woman who was in handcuffs being guarded by a beefy female Sheriff's Deputy. I was sitting next to former LCDA Deputy Brian Barnes and a young African-American male. They chitchatted about basketball and mentioned LCCC Judge Kip Leonard.
I'm 100% sure that Mr. Ross will remember encountering me a few months ago in Judge Kasubhai's courtroom and 90% sure he won't remember encountering me a few years ago in his office.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I had previously gone to the office of Mr. Ross seeking legal counsel and he screamed at me to get out when he found out it was a criminal case, not the minor estate planning I said on the phone to secure a quick appointment.
That is, prior to hiring Mr. Duvall to represent me in a similar matter, I met with Mr. Ross and he screamed at me to leave when he found out it involved misdemeanor defense and not estate planning. Therefore, I would have even less confidence in his ability to represent me in this case than in Mr. Saydack's ability to do so, since Mr. Ross had previously alleged to me that he did not handle criminal cases like this.
Too bad the LCPD decision maker (Mr. Haz*?) didn't ask me to see if I had any legal contact with Mr. Ross, prior to assigning him as Mr. Saydack's replacement. Ouch.
Heck, maybe if I'd had:
a. Mr. Ross defending me and
b. Gary Carl as a defense witness to testify about whether he thought I was justified in spraying an allegedly illegal substance toward a feloniously-intended trespasser (i.e., a burglar) in the "mud room" of the house he built
I might have defeated Ms. Miller!

ostensible mitchell
March 11, 2009 Tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m., I will be sentenced by the allegedly honorable and marginally cognizant Judge Mitchell. Deputy Lane County District Attorney JoAnn Miller, who is prosecuting the case on behalf of Lane County District Attorney Alex Gardner, is recommending 30 days in jail.
