    Again, nothing in your post means anything to this case. The court doesn't care that you claim you have changed, doesn't care that the booking photo looked bad, and the court doesn't care that your attorney "knows you didn't do it." The court doesn't care what you think the definition of a drunk is.

    All that matters is what the prosecutor can convince the jury. The facts are pretty clear: you resisted arrest with force. The arrest was lawful. You had a warrant, you refused a lawful command.

    Your own testimony is going to be attacked, as is the testimony of your friends. You were intoxicated. Period. Whether you believe you were or not, your opinion doesn't matter.

    Don't like what you are hearing? I will refund every cent you have paid for my time- which comes to-

    nothing. Go talk to the lawyer you are paying. He has to be nice to you, he is your employee.

    My god man.I didnt say about any of the ive changed,about my attorney knowing i didnt do it,or the definition of a drunk being brought up in court.
    That was and I quote "to help you understand me,are Local PD,and my situation" for further understanding.Im not stupid enough to believe that has any relevance to my case in a court of law.

    The Booking picture CAN be used as leverage as it is the only physical evidence I have besides my witnesses and my own testimony.Yes i was intoxicated (legally so) I DID not not resist with force as I had already previously explained i did not resist at all. It would have been impossible for me to do so...and for the arrest being lawful it actually wasnt....Because,They didnt identify me.Therefore they did not know i had a warrant. They just ripped me out the car and began beating.Which again is unlawful.Not reading mirandas (meh thats just a myth) they dont really need to.And AGAIN(HOW MANY TIMES MUST I STATE THIS)I absolutely , and Positively DID NOT refuse a lawful command I followed their every request with complete compliance and respect.Even as i was intoxicated they might not have that on their reports therefore they can not bring that to court.My lawyer is not CONTACTABLE for the last time....That is why i am turning here for help.But every single post that you have made thus far has helped very little(but I am grateful for the little advice I received from you). I dont blame you for believing them over me as will everyone else.Also dont forget i had an Unitoxicated witness also....Dont get me wrong I appreciate the little advice and help you have offered but your help does not compare to the constant siding with the LEO's and I am begging to suspect you just may be an LEO....Because of course your going to protect your own kind. But I am still going to have to reiterate, apparently, that I was compliant,respectful,did not attack anyone at all,was not breaking not one law,and was not identified before the attack therefore not making the arrest lawful in anyway shape or form.Saying they did not have a positive identity on me and did not know who I was or about my bench warrant for (violation of probation and no not because of a failed drug test but because my lack of funds....)Like I have already said please try to understand that their are infact "crooked" LEO's and I happened to be a victim of police brutality and now am being accused of something I did not do.I know its hard for you or anyone else to believe...especially saying im sure youve heard it a thousand times on these forums.But my case is the real deal and I need real help.If you can not offer me any help and or advice and choose to believe them over me that is fine.But, if that is the case please stop posting in this thread for I am seeking just that, Advice and help.How to prove my innocence,What possibilities i have that may help , where or who i can go to for further help.And most of all to prove my innocence...

    On a side Note:If their is anyone out their a little more open minded to as what goes on in the "real world",the questions in my previous post were never answered...these answers are crucial to the way I approach this...My days are numbered.My pre-trial is in 16 days to be exact. So some advice/answers/and help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

    EDIT:
    divemedic : I have reviewed your posts and you seem to like bashing people aside from myself instead of offering help 8 times out of 10......not a very inspiriting person are you?

    actually, most of divemedics bashing was when he and I butted heads. While his style is not always what I like to see, when he posts, he is generally correct. If you need somebody to be nice and give you warm fuzzies, you would go to oprahs website. While you may not like it, the law can be very cold and it does you no good to have people give you answers just to make you feel good. You want facts and advice? Sometimes the cold truth is the best way to serve it.


    So, there is not really anything I can add other than you got an attorney for $1k?

    I do not know an attorney that will take a misdemeanor case for that let alone the several felonies you are most likely facing.

    Something doesn't sound right with the entire situation and although I do not trust a lot of cops, this situation, as you write it, just does not sound kosher.

    I do see you did change your story here from "I was not drunk" to "I was legally intoxicated". Since you have problems with the facts here, all I can suggest is have faith in your attorney or get another one. Changing the story does not do well for you here or in court.

    and if we are contactable, your attorney is contactable. He has a phone and most likely a website. Phone calls and emails will serve you well.

    Your own posts is where I get my information. You yourself said that you wanted to do a dental impression. Maybe you don't know what the means, but what it means to me is that they take an impression of your bite, and compare it to bite marks on the cop. In order to do that, the cop must have a bite mark on him, so that they have a reference to compare to your bite impression.

    That means the cop was injured by SOMEONE. Are you insinuating that the cops bit each other to frame you? That is going to be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to prove.

    By your own admission, from your previous posts: (this is what the jury will hear)

    i was out for a FEW bud lights 6 in 6 hours to be exact including 2 shots so by all means i wasnt drunk....
    at least 8 drinks in 6 hours. Depending on your metabolism, you could have been drunk.

    You said:
    well i never got my wedding ring sized so it fell off and i went lookin for it ...the officers approach the car and tells everyone hands up opens the backseat drivers door...and tells me "GET OUT!" only words i say to the officer is "yes sir" and start nudging my way over to the door...The whole car ride their i keep askin whyd yall beat me up? I was just lookin for my wedding ring!"
    So which is it, did you comply immediately, or were your hands not visible, while you looked for your ring?

    Also, you then go on to say:

    Also did I not say I had a Designated Driver...not a DUI driver,also in my research even if i had "bit" one of them look up "resisting unlawful arrest" it would actually justify me defending my self if I am suspected I am being a victim of police brutality all the way from assault on a LEO to shooting one.but im not sure if i can plea guilty and throw that in as a defense?
    That seems to me that we are not getting the whole story. If you hit an officer, expect to be charged. If it is your contention that you were resisting an unlawful arrest, what makes you feel it was unlawful?

    I am not a LEO, but I am a BS detector. I am a rescue diver, paramedic, firefighter, and I also teach classes and consult businesses in subjects related to those fields. I spend my entire career listening to people's stories and explainations, and I know a tall tale when I hear one, and your story has holes that I could throw a heroin addict through. (Note my screen name) If I heard this as a juror, I would not believe you. I testify in court a lot, and I sometimes give classes in that field. I have been in this career for over 20 years. I have seen my share of court cases, both civil and criminal.

    Think about that for a minute...

    I have not even heard the prosecution's story, and I am already doubting you. You can think I am being rude or mean all you want, but put yourself in the jury's place. Remember that felons cannot be on a jury, and by and large, the majority of people who actually show up for jury duty are retired persons and government employees, as they are the only ones who can afford to miss time from work.

    I am not being mean, but I am direct. Some people don't like that, because I don't always tell people what they want to hear. One thing is, I do not lie, and I do not give people false optimism. It is what it is. I am like this in my career as well. If you are going to lose a leg from the accident you were in, I will tell you. With me, you know exactly where you stand.

    I do not like or dislike you, as I do not even know you. I am just telling you what I see.

    ETA: I did not bash you, nopr have I been rude. I have just been blunt. I am not a ra-ra cheerleader, nor am I the glee club. Again, it is what it is.

    Default Re: Charged With Something I Didn't Do

    This is the same problem im having with everyone else and this is also why im afraid to plea not guilty but my heart is telling me to do it.This is where it stands and hopefully fills these "holes" that you guys are missing.Id prefer you to be blunt and straight forward and not sugar coat anything.But my problem with you was that I was asking for anything that might help my testimony and instead you chose to find "holes" in my story.
    From the top and shortened.

    Wedding Ring falls off and I go down to look for it.
    Flashing lights behind us I immediately sit up and we pull over.
    LEO comes up to the car with a flashlight telling everybody hands up.
    My hands go up.
    He opens the drivers side back door.
    Im sitting passenger backseat.
    He tells me to get out.
    I say yes sir and with my hands still up scoot my ass over to him.
    Im ripped out the car thrown on the ground and being beaten for about 10 seconds.
    Im trying to cover my face but they cuff me and request for back up.
    They continue to beat me.
    Backup arrives seconds later.
    The backup LEOs taze me in the throat and the spine while the other officers continue to beat me.
    The entire time I stay compliant and the only movements I make is my head to face away from what was hitting me.
    I say nothing.Im shaken up.I have no clue what is going on.
    I at first think they must of thought I was somebody else.
    They drag me to the other side of the street where the backup LEOs car is parked.
    They step on my gallbladder.
    Throw me in the back of the squad car.
    Where I begin to ask repeatedly why I had just had my ass kicked and that I was just trying to find my wedding ring.
    Then im taken to the station placed in a holding cell.
    Face first cuffed and told not to move.
    I dont.
    Hours later the officers pull me off the ground.
    Im Stripped of my possessions and a booking picture is taken.
    Until then they finally get a look at my license to find out who I am and get a positive ID on me.

    As for the even "IF" I had bitten him there is grounds for an unlawful arrest. 1.Officer not getting a positive ID on me
    2.If i was being a victim or thought I was about to be a victim of an unlawful arrest would have given me the right to defend myself.Unfortunately I didnt and am still being charged as if i had.

    Heres what my lawyer had to say the only time I ever got a chance to speak with him.This was the day I got my court date adjourned for "Discovery Purposes".
    He tells me if I plea guilty to one account he can get me a 6 month misdemeanor or MAYBE probation.OR.I plea not guilty and they attempt to charge me with 2-5 year felony and I also pay my attorney another 5000$.

    I asked him about the cameras on the cars he said he would check into it.When he came out he claimed the cars had no tapes of the incident.

    He also said that he didnt really get it adjourned for discovery purposes his tactic was to "Let everything boil down.Let somebody else become public enemy number one.Everything will be fine." Well on his side of the world everything will be fine because he or his friend Mr.Prosecutor will get paid either way.

    This is what Dave(the guy who grew up with my lawyer)tells me."Hes a good lawyer.He knows people.Hes got alot of friends in those court rooms."
    My lawyer at one point "You couldnt have picked a better city to get in trouble in.Ive got some pull around here."
    Now get this.I sat as close to the prosecutors office as possible so I could hear what was going on in there.My lawyer is on the phone and you hear the prosecutor yell out "Tell Susan I said HI!"
    This worries me that they are this good of friends.
    It could be a good thing or bad thing for me.Its lookin to be a BAD thing.

    Another crucial piece of information that I left out. Straight from my lawyers mouth. "They said you looked like you were trying to hide from them.Thats why they pulled you over.Their claiming that you bit one officer and pushed another one.Now look I know you didnt do it.I seen your booking picture and it made me sick."

    This is why I have been trying to contact him from the very start about receiving a copy of my Discovery Packet,Investigative Report,and Police Report.Because as of right now.I have no clue what they are claiming I did.
    I have no clue if this man has bite marks on him.
    I have no clue if they even have it recorded that I had been drinking because I highly doubt it was noticeable besides maybe on my breath.
    Even then I was never given a breathalyzer so I doubt its in the report.
    Like I said before its possible that my teeth may have clenched on his fist or knee.
    But if that is where the bite marks are located how could that be assault.As that is just what happens when your hit in the jaw.
    If the bite marks are anywhere else I would want a Dental mold to compare the bite to.
    Because I know I didnt and wouldnt do something like that.
    What would possess me to jump from one side of the car to the other and bite an officer knowing I am not doing anything wrong?
    Certainly not because of a bench warrant for violation of probation.
    During a probation appointment I pleaded to just give me Jail time because I didnt have the money to pay them, and they refused.
    I violated from not paying them their monthly charge.
    So I most certainly wouldnt assault an LEO because I was afraid to go to jail before that is questioned.

    On a ending note.I would be crazy not to take the plea bargain.Especially knowing that I might only get probation.BUT,I know I was wronged.
    I know I did nothing wrong.
    My heart tells me to fight for what I believe in.
    What I know is right.
    That is why I am asking for any help on my side of the testimony.
    I know people will tend to lean toward the LEOs rather than a civilian.
    I need leverage.
    I have not decided yet whether I will take the plea bargain or not.
    I HAVE NOT plead not guilty yet. In 15 days I will have to decide though.
    If I dont feel I can hold up against their case then I will take the plea deal.
    I think.
    Something most certainly is amiss about this whole case.But its not on my side of the testimony.
    Also..I am going to look up my lawyers office and just happen to drop by today.
    Also I have that ex-Detroit cop meeting me today.He said he can help me by having me claim UCC and ?tribunal? and then taking this case to a federal or supreme court.Im not aware of what this means but hes going to explain it to me better over lunch and help me file.
    Any opinions on this?
    Im also wondering if I may get internal affairs,attorney general, and or ACLU.Involved.Ive tried contacting ACLU a few times already.
    Another question is even if i do take the plea deal.
    Can a service like Lee-Free or Sam Bernstein still help me to sue the city for misconduct?


    Sorry everything was so sloppy.Sorry this is so long.Sorry I left "holes" for you guys to fill with your own ideas at first.I am completely lost and looking for somebody with knowledge in criminal law to help me find my way.
    This is why Im here.
