SCOTUS: Can prosecutors be sued for framing defendants?

Nov. 6, 2009 Two African-American men wrongly imprisoned for 25 years filed a lawsuit against prosecutors for fabricating evidence against them. The Supreme Court hears the case Wednesday The US Supreme Court on Wednesday is set to consider an unusual question: Do Americans who have been framed by unscrupulous prosecutors for crimes they did not commit have a right to sue the prosecutors when the fraud is finally exposed? According to the Obama administration, the answer is no. Solicitor General Elena Kagan argues in a friend of the court brief that local, state, and federal prosecutors must enjoy absolute immunity from citizen lawsuits – even when they sent innocent men to prison for life by fabricating incriminating evidence and hiding exculpatory evidence. Those are the allegations in a case from Iowa set for oral argument on Wednesday morning.. » read more

All Ciavarella juvie convictions vacated Oct. 30, 2009 HARRISBURG – Seeking to remedy what it deemed a “travesty of justice,” the state Supreme Court on Thursday vacated the convictions of all juveniles who appeared before former Judge Mark Ciavarella from 2003 to 2008 and barred retrials in all but a small portion of those cases. The ruling essentially adopts in total the report submitted in August by Berks County Judge Arthur Grim, who was appointed to review all juvenile cases handled by Ciavarella after he and his co-defendant, former Judge Michael Conahan, pleaded guilty in February to corruption charges. click image to enlarge Ciavarella The high court based its ruling on Ciavarella’s admission that he accepted millions of dollars from the owner and builder of two juvenile detention centers to which he sentenced youths, as well as his “systematic” deprivation of the constitutional rights of juveniles who appeared before him.

Campbell vs. the US: Comprehensive Federal Lawsuit Against Forced Vaccinations Filed 10/23/09-3:30 PM PDT

Although it could have been filed on a narrower legal premise that might have made it easier to win in court, it was filed so that the larger context of the secret and sinister forces that have long controlled the governments of this world being finally exposed and thereby extirpated from this planet. It was filed in such a way so as not only to be heard in a court of law, but also to be heard in the court of public opinion, to help to win the hearts and minds of the people to a greater truth; to help win on earth the cosmic war now being waged for truth, rather than in this war to win but one more isolated battle.

New Shockwaves From Courts and Accounting Board The Next Financial Crisis Hits Wall Street, as Judges Start Nixing Foreclosures

Oct. 21, 2009 The financial tsunami unleashed by Wall Street’s esurient alchemy of spinning toxic home mortgages into triple-A bonds, a process known as securitization, has set off its second round of financial tremors. After leaving mortgage investors, bank shareholders, and pension fiduciaries awash in losses and a large chunk of Wall Street feeding at the public trough, the full threat of this vast securitization machine and its unseen masters who push the levers behind a tightly drawn curtain is playing out in courtrooms across America. Three plain talking judges, in state courts in Massachusetts and Kansas, and a Federal Court in Ohio, have drilled down to the “straw man” aspect of securitization. The judges’ decisions have raised serious questions as to the legality of hundreds of thousands of foreclosures that have transpired as well as the legal standing of the subsequent purchasers of those homes, who are more and more frequently the Wall Street banks themselves.. » read more
