I certainly did not read all of RipSaw's original post, no need, and way too much drivel. As it only takes one paragraph to figure he don't know much about anything. Basically saying that a cop isn't or can't be a "witness" in court...is ridiculous. Any third party is not needed if said cop sees evidence of holes, or "catches you in the act". PERIOD.
Where do people come up with this stuff...or are they just seeing what they can stir up ?
Another ad hominem attack. I told everyone already, I am use to it and it's the way most people act when their mind can't accept the truth. As for the cop when he, as you put it, catches you in the act of MD, he has made a legal determinations that you are breaking the law, committing a "Crime"....and since I don't know much about anything, maybe you should go look up what constitutes a crime in this country, try Blacks Law dictionary, it's the one they use in court against you.
Furthermore, any cop can be impeached and his testimony thrown out for making legal determinations,... he is not qualified to be an expert in the interpretation and application of the laws. If you don't believe this, ask him on the stand when they are prosecuting you for MD somewhere they think you shouldn't be. The prosecutor will jump up screaming objection, the witness is not qualified to testify to that....they will impeach him for you. Move for dismissal, because now they have no witness against you doing anything. An impeached witness' testimony cannot be taken. case closed. but what do I know, I've only done it dozens of times in a real court.
For others here trying to learn how to protect yourself....here's how it works. When you ask him on the stand when they are prosecuting you for MD, if he is qualified to make determinations, or if he is an expert in the interpretation and application of the laws of the state of Texas,..he can only answer yes or no, anything else is non-repsonsive and you should object to that. If he says no, move for dismissal of the case because he just testified that he is not qualified to make determinations. case closed. If he says yes, he is lying under oath, because the only person in the room qualified, under their rules and laws is the JUDGE ! But none of this matters because the prosecutor will object to the question if he is smart, but he isn't smart because when the judge sustains the objection, he has just impeached his own witness against you. The only witness they have. case closed.
In most cases the judge will allow testimony from an impeached cop in the court anyway, to help his buddy the prosecutor out of a pinch here, and railroad you..... in which case he has colluded with the prosecution and sided with them, and has violated your due process to a fair trial, automatic overturn on appeal and sanctions on both of them from the appellate court judges will follow. If the judge allows him to testify and he says he can be an expert, then ask him if .....when you decided I was breaking the laws, was that a determination ? He is hung right there. His decision to arrest and charge you is a "determination of the laws" on his part, and he is not qualified to make determinations because the judge has just ruled he isn't and has taken his testimony anyway......see how crazy it all is ?.....but what do I know ?.....not much of anything I guess.
Treasure Hunter maybe this thread on second thought should be deleted, and OP be banned.
I can see no real reason for such a thread, except for to start something ?
I ask ripsaw in this day and age why is it that someone can be charged, and CONVICTED of murder without a body ? Again suggesting that a cop or DA have nothing to do with anything does strongly suggest that Jason in Enid is right on the money, your an over educated jail-house lawyer, who actually knows little beyond your fantasies and I'd like to paraphrase,but don't want to go to the rude route.
Good luck on your release.
Judge, jury, and executioner ? You must work for the state in some capacity ? Second thought ? wasn't your first thought the same thing ? the same opinion that I know nothing according to you ? I have proof of what I write, do you have proof the cop can be a witness ? Please post it, I already have posted my proof above.
Ban em,... ban em all .....and let's get rid of these clowns that would speak the truth for all to see...is that it ? gee thanks.
Rude ? It's a little late for that don't you think. I have been in court 100's of times helping people to defend themselves from attack. Never been in jail to study law. You guys crack me up with this jailhouse lawyer stuff and spewing opinions about how crappy my character must be, without ever having met me.
As for murder with no corpus delecti...they can't be arrested and convicted....legally. They must have had a lawyer help them get to that point,....... railroaded them along with their buddy the judge and prosecutor. Doesn't matter though, can easily be overturned on appeal and challenging the original jurisdiction. Jurisdiction may be challenged at any time, including after a conviction.
over educated...... fantasies ?.....sorry, wrong on both counts. I never finished high school, and my fantasies as you refer to them,..... have actual proof from court documents. Do you have proof of your assertions here ? Please post them if you do.
