My name is Lonnie T. Ledbetter and I live in El Dorado, Ca. A few years ago I stumbled onto a crime being committed by the Government in Yolo County, California. I was arrested on a misdemeanor and was offered eight years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea. I declined their offer and for more than eight years have suffered atrocities and human rights violations much too numerous to be adequately covered in this message. I will list some of the more important ones and hope you might be able to tell me where to find help. I was first subjected to a pre-trial hearing which was held behind locked doors and closed to the public. The only person's present were the judge (Donna Petre), and my assigned public defender (Donald Lown). The district attorney did not even bother to show up. After being returned to my jail cell I filled out a petition for a writ of Habeas Corpus. Without going in to details it took three years for that petition to get through the courts. It was denied at every level and was actually held by the Circuit Court of the United States for the ninth circuit for more than two years. The Supreme Court of the United States refused to issue a writ of Mandamus. A little more than thirty days later it was denied without a hearing or explanation. While all of that was going on I was held for eighteen and a half months without benefit of a jury trial. After filing the petition for the writ, the judge, public defender, assistant district attorney (Robert L. Day), and court stenographer (Susan Gorsch) falsified the transcripts from my preliminary hearing to conform to the complaints made in the petition. Those transcripts are filed under two different numbers to this day in the county recorder's office. I made forty seven court appearances and spent eighteen and a half months trying to get a jury trial. I finally pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in exchange for being released with a sentence of time served. I have subsequently filed more than twenty five lawsuits in the federal courts and have been under attack by the F.B.I. who use's everything in their inventory to intimidate and torture me. High-Tech equipment is used on me in my home and I am continually harassed on the highways. All local news media is somehow being suppressed and my telephone is tapped and my U.S. Mail is confiscated if it is addressed to anyone that might be of help. Of the twenty five lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, the following charges have been labeled frivolous. Denial of privilege of Habeas Corpus. Denial of access to U.S. Courts for more than eight years. Eight Years of torture by the F.B.I. and various local police agencies. Attempted murder of U.S. Citizens, by agencys of the U.S. Government. Cruel and unusual punishment. Use of automatic weapons placed around my home for the purpose of intimidation. Destruction of my home by the F.B.I. Mock trials and hearings behind locked doors. Conspiracy between my public defender, the assistant district attorney, and the presiding judge to falsely imprison me for eight years for the sole purpose of offsetting arrest statistics with appropriate prison statistics. Bad faith prosecutions. Torture of U.S. Citizens by the U.S. and State of California Governments. False imprisonment. Illegal search and seizure. Confiscation of U.S. Mail for the purpose of keeping me isolated. Denial of due process of law. Denial of the right to a speedy trial. Denial of the right to be represented by counsel. Denial of the right to a fair and impartial judge. Denial of the right to trial by jury in both criminal and civil cases. Perjury by court officers. Perjury by court appointed professionals. Denial of right to call witnesses on my own behalf. Denial of the Equal protection of the law. False arrest. Police brutality. Falsification of court transcripts by judges, public defenders, assistant district attorneys, and court stenographers. Extraction of false confessions by use of false imprisonment. Mind control techniques being used on citizens by the F.B.I. Violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States by the President of the United States. Denial of all human and civil rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Illegal actions by a U.S. Magistrate. Criminal cover-up by state and federal courts. Falsification of court documents by court officials. All of the above charges were made in the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of California and were judged frivolous and dismissed without plaintiff ever seeing a jury or opposing counsel. Following is a list of those case numbers for verification through the court. All dismissals have been upheld by the Circuit Court of the United States and labled "NOT FOR PUBLICATION". Certiorari has been denied by the United States Supreme Court. CIV-S-89-1339 CIV-S-89-1336 CIV-S-89-1337 CIV-S-89-1338 CIV-S-89-1340 CIV-S-89-1420 CIV-S-89-0142 CIV-S-90-0245 CIV-S-90-0284 CIV-S-90-0286 CIV-S-90-1434 CIV-S-90-1439 CIV-S-90-1530 CIV-S-90-0037 CIV-S-90-0055 CIV-S-90-0080 CIV-S-90-0081 CIV-S-92-0081 MISC-95-0322 All of the above cases have been dismissed and judged frivolous and labled "not for publication". There are still three cases pending in the District Court and one in the Court of Appeals. Of the cases in the District Court, one case (Civ S-95-1929) is against the State of California for which the clerk has entered a default but refuses to issue the judgement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It has been in default for five months and is for $275,000,000.00. Another case (Misc.-95-0278)has been filed against the F.B.I. and has been held by the court for more than eight months and the clerk's office continues to refuse to issue process in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. I continue to be denied access to the courts and continue to be tortured by the F.B.I. and other police agencies. All telephone calls I attempt to make for help are intercepted by the F.B.I. and all of my U.S.Mail is confiscated. I just recently discovered the Internet and will continue to try to get my story out by Email. I had a home page unitl last night. When I tried to view it this morning I found that all of my files had mysteriously dissappeared off my computer. When I attempted to re-install my home page my access was blocked and my phone connetion went dead. So if you receive this message, please try to acknowledge receipt of it by Email to dotm@inreach.com . If I am successful in getting this message to anyone, I would appreciate it if you would pass it on to anyone and everyone that will read it. I'm praying for responses to be sent to the U.S. District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of California, 650 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, California 95623, United States of America. The District Court has now labelled me a vexatious litigant in an attempt to keep me out of the courts. It probably would have worked except the F.B.I. refused to stop the torture which leaves me with nothing to lose. The F.B.I. has obviously decided that my death will be the only acceptable end to this ordeal. The purposes of the actions by the Yolo County Court, and the Federal Courts is to cover up the conspiracy that was revealed to me through my eighteen month ordeal there. The courts are handing out, outrageous prison sentences to all out of county residents arrested there, for the purpose of offsetting an astronomical arrest record being created by arresting local residents and releasing them so they can be re-arrested. The purposes of all this is to justify the construction of a $600,000,000.00 marina. The Federal Government is contributing to this elaborate conspiracy by donating $50,000.00 periodically to Yolo County for conducting so called sting operations which add to the already astronomical arrest records. Due to my attempts to expose this government corruption I have been subjected to tortures that are much to bizarre to even be mentioned here but can be proven if I ever get a jury trial as guaranteed by the seventh amendment to the Constitution. I am constantly harassed on the highway by hundreds of automobiles. I presently live on California state highway 49 which normally handles three or four cars per hour, but since I moved here seven months ago the traffic has increased to more than one hundred cars per hour which goes night and day through rain or shine. Some of the less drastic tortures include the artificial infestations of my home with rats, mice, earwigs, spiders, snakes, living funguses, etc. These have all been complained of in the U.S. District court and have been labeled frivolous. On March 16, 1996, my mother died in the Hospital when she learned that she no longer had a home to return to. She had shared the nine years of torture and just could not go on. So far, I have lost my mother, my home, my family, my friends, all of my possessions collected over fifty years, all of my mother's possessions collected over seventy five years. This letter only scratches the surface of what has been done and is being done to me every day. Knowing how outrageous all of the above sounds, I would like to say that all court documents are available for fax to anyone that might be interested. I am interested in reaching human rights organizations that are willing to help. If that is impossible I would like to reach large numbers of people willing to write to the District Court and the President of the United States and request that I be given and immediate jury trial in accordance with the Constitution. At the present time the State of California is in default on a $275.000.000.00 lawsuit. The default has been entered by the clerk but Dan Wagner of the District Court refuses to issue the judgement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The clerk's entry of default is available by fax to any interested party. Any help you may be able to give me will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Lonnie T.
