More from the brief, referencing what I've already mentioned, the "creative prosecution" of Scott Wyatt:
"One could say that Scott Wyatt's 'Creative Prosecution'
legacy was seriously marred on May 2,
2011, however, when Weber County District Court Judge
Michael Direda ruled that Debra Brown was factually innocent. The judge vacated
Brown's murder conviction and dismissed the case. On May 9, 201 1, Debra was
released from prison after serving 15 years. The prosecution appealed the
ruling and on July 14, 2013, the Utah Supreme Court upheld Judge Direda's
finding of innocence. Under Utah law, Debra Brown was eligible for more than
$500,000 in compensation for the damages she suffered. - A pretty significant
price to pay for a prosecution's rush to conviction!
Lord Acton reminds us that "Power
tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are
almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority;
still more when you add the tendency of the certainty of corruption by
authority," and serves as a reminder of a local
vernacular which states: "We have learned
by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men as
soon as they get a little authority as they suppose,
they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion." Lord
Acton cautions us with an understanding that no matter how hard we try, "The will of the people cannot make just that which
is unjust.'
Lord Acton further reminds us, "Authority that does not exist for Liberty is not
authority but force,"
and he reassures us that, "The great
novelty of the American Constitution was that it imposed checks on the
representatives of the people." To be clear, Lord Action says, "By Liberty, I
mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in
doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and
majorities, custom and opinion," yet he warns us about the dangers of
the class warfare attributed to the appalling judicial situation here in Cache
Valley. "The danger is not that a
particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.'"
How protected do you feel by such a "creative" law enforcement group as we have here in the valley? Thanks, you can keep your protection to yourself--when it is so very "creative" that true laws, founding laws, laws that actually do protect and vouchsafe liberty are made blank paper by construction.
More to come...
Please help us fight this corrupt system with the help of our new attorney--Thanks very much! www.crowdrise.com/igavefirstcanyougive/fundraiser/bauninilson
