I dont think that monsoor was out to get i think that he developed what detectives called tunnel vision i had heard a lot of things about him being narrow minded. Once he made his mind up there was no way of making him change his mind and so that that leads to some Serious Problems when youre dealing with a Homicide Investigation detective months to search on mike ryans criminal record apparently using the wrong birthdate he had the wrong date of birth for him and if he had the right data birth and he checked criminal records back then he would have found just a few months prior to the dork alister slaying ryan had allegedly held a knife to a friends throat over 12. 00 which you would think would cause you know detective to consider him a little more seriously you know for the defense he was investigating eventually like bruce youre going to have a detention here during which time a judge is going to make a determination as to whether youre going to stay in jail or you can be released while you wait your trial will listen that a lot of money for attorneys youre not going to see her basically you go in there with your hands tied behind your back because of the power that we give to Police Officers in this nation.

A study of defendants in kentucky found that individuals in jail were over 3 times more likely to be sentenced to prison than those who are released and showed up for court in regular clothes. They can charge over a dollar a minute calls to and from your lawyer your son or daughter or your dad would want to do the county jail its not fair because they dont treat you in any type of respect hes supposed to be innocent until Proven Guilty ok with this is a place where theres a show that. Innocent until Proven Guilty originally meant. Nobody should ever be denied a trial and it was created as a protection against torturing people into confessions was established as a shield against mob mentality and which. In this presumption of innocence until Proven Guilty is the foundational notion of civil justice. Was a teenager who was walking home from school and someone accused him of stealing a backpack the police didnt do any investigating they just arrested him and the next thing you know to the point of course madeline known as do his family couldnt afford the 10000. 00 bail he missed his sisters wedding the birth of his nephew and so many family events after nearly 3 years of unimaginable torture incarcerated without a trial he was finally offered a deal if you would plead guilty theyd let him go she told me if. I could get. Him jailed in june he was suddenly free with no explanation no apology no nuffin they just said. Dont worry about. 3 years and. The new yorker report of the cliffs relatives study was inflicted by paranoia suspecting cops or other Authority Sectors where. After a few years after he was released from wreckers island browder took his own life.

In 1986 tim was 19 years old he got involved with a girl who was in some trouble shes living with this guy she starts insinuating that shes been sexually abused her like a dummy im contemplating going to get her stuff she says that hes got a gun so you know you got to be careful the guy that were going with hes a class go with us take our own guns they start wrestling over this gun i step out of the bathroom. Fight or flight. No secu says just done this is theres no excuse for it i did theres no excuse pulled out my gun i start shooting and listens to 25 years life in california prison system thames 1st advice to new fish is simple star with youve got 2 eyes and 2 airs and one mouth. So you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than youre saying if you dont take that advice a usually going to dig yourself a hole. Was put in a cell alone and i started hearing this scraping sound gets louder and louder new persists and finally you know theres a hole in the wall now and im like leave me alone youngster you know whats up my name is bobby hes im a christian you have to worry about me im ok one cigarette you smoke and he wants the bible study with me and he read the bible and about hope and about now truth basically had told him everything that i was arrested for which youre turning to and for years and not much you said here still no use was help you with your case anything that i could do and you know by the way do you have any money that i could you know i dont have any money in and you know if you can help me out with some money my dad put money on his books for him and my attorney comes down and has a tape recorder and pushes play. And its Robert Hughes on the tape saying im in liskeard in the 7000 model of the county jail and and you know he he ran down how he killed his mom. My jaw is just on the table i cant believe it this is my friend this Robert Hughes this christian this good guy my case was the 4th case 4th defendant against whom Robert Hughes had come forward and claimed a confession in the span of about a year and a half i think for about a decade prosecutors had this corrupt alliance with jailhouse informants who would. Either make up or try to solicit confessions from fellow inmates and then use that information to try to get leniency on their own case their own sentence there was a shift in my attorney with the tape of Robert Hughes he gave up on me. I saw it in his eyes. I saw his eyes. Lose had been incarcerated now for a year as long as its been which was in comprehensible to me that anybody can spend a day let alone close to a year behind bars for something he didnt do now i have another year to wait potentially and so much trial one of the times when i came back up front Juvenile Hall when they were seated me said wait a minute the date of birth here this guys over 18 he cant associate with other minors because bruce is now an adult they put in the box which means solitary confinement. To a state wide prisoner Hunger Strike began 11 days ago at a protest over terri confinement conditions and now more than 2300 inmates are refusing to eat solitary confinement prison. 6 by sale everything is made of concrete even. In their 23 hours a day and hour out for recreation. You can be put into solitary confinement for any. Prison guard just get. Shamed hours an american was arrested in iran for accidentally hiking across their border they put him in solitary confinement i would definitely say that the situation california is more extreme the cells in california are smaller than the cell i was in iran and theres no windows in the cells in california the whole is considered torture by Amnesty International and the United Nations this is anthony graves hes an innocent man who was wrongfully convicted and. Spent 16 years in solitary no one can begin to imagine the psychological effects isolation has another human being 95 percent of americans who spend time in solitary report developing a serious psychiatric condition guys become paranoid schizophrenia in case sleep because they hear voices your more than 5 times more likely to commit suicide in iraq and i know of nobody being in solitary confinement for more than 2 years which is an extremely long period of time but in california in pelican bay state prison the average time is 7 and a half years. To 2 years bruce had been waiting for his child and gone over to this head day after day the judge would say but a jury would think when they had the transcript of detective months his interrogation of my client thats all they need to hear. All the lies all the inconsistency there would be no way he wouldnt be found innocent except the prosecutor filed a motion to deny him goose the right to make any mention of my clients name at the trial d on the grounds that we couldnt tie my crime to the crime judge turns my attorney what evidence do you have that mark runs times of this as well he was in the county he could have done it and the judge goes is that all you have because he didnt take the time to read the transcript or he was just on autopilot he was not paying attention he was an engaged he says yeah thats it and so. We couldnt tie my client to the crime that was the framework for my trial it is an absolute joke the resources prosecutors are persons Defense Attorneys just im brooks is the director of the california Innocence Project a Nonprofit Group dedicated to helping wrongfully convicted americans get out of prison prosecutors have a police force at their disposal as their investigators there they get the case. From the 1st moment its being investigated they have access to all the people who are involved and that its a defense comes late to the date we are at a total disadvantage the 6th amendment to the Us Constitution is supposed to guarantee the right to effective counts but as were seeing in america you have to buy your rights youre more likely to walk free if youre rich and guilty and you are if youre poor and the evidence is detected months theyre telling is Robert Hughes telling his lies. And no alternate suspects. And so im screwed. Theyre charging me with 1st degree murder which carries 26 years to life and stay frozen thats longer than ive been alive. A day and a half in my attorney comes to me in the holding tank and says the judge is willing to entertain a guilty plea in exchange for you through any sentence and out a guilty plea you know minus a guilty plea and he said i hear you and a close friend of the family my fathers best friend comes to the Juvenile Hall. Is you have to you have to accept this plea is the number of anything and in doing you know he says look any pounds of hand down on the on the bench that were sitting on. Those they are going to convict you of 1st degree murder unless you plead guilty. Hes practically crying as a minor. He was like do whatever you have to do to get home. Everybodys reaching for that you have preschool. And i mean its a russia and i think the resolution of this is this going to be a nasty war thats going to go on for maybe months as john in an already rejected its. Almost goes off to mediate because the fighting is too early on that people are now battling to see what territory they can get and i think when the fighting settles down and the lines are drawn and people realize that theyre not going to move forward or backwards then theyre going to turn to the other. As the u. S. Economy was booming growing numbers of people need homes. You can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of the were not financial inequality and the lack of Affordable Housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice so thats been a problem with the city will always turn him excited told me stay away almost. Half the food the food is low as he says yes that requires these folks. Vulnerable or abandoned on the streets to become invisible cops. Week of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan brings devastation to not go to north with relentless shelling of the local capital r. T. Reports from the area. 2 massive explosions in the very center of the city 250 millimeter. It is a massive rocket.
