Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the presumption of innocence and due process require a judge to rule in favor of the defendant if the judge will not read everything submitted or the prosecution admits innocence?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Does the presumption of innocence and due process mean that if a judge will not read everything Mr. Verkler, the Defendant in a criminal case submits to the court, or if the prosecution admits that American is actually innocent that the judge must rule in favor of the Defendant? Doesn't a defendant in a criminal case have the right to assistance of counsel? Doesn’t an American defendant in a criminal case have the right to effective — assistance of legal counsel? How many times does Mr. Verkler have to win his case before it sticks? Doesn’t Mr. Verkler as a defendant in a criminal case have the right to appeal and attack a completely unconstitutional, illegal, baseless and unjust decision? Since USA breached the plea contract and refuses to remedy the breach can’t Mr. Verkler rescind the contract and withdraw the guilty plea? Can USA add to a defendant's sentence without a court proceeding? Doesn't a US/Washington State citizen have any protection under the Constitution and Laws? Isn’t it true that there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution or federal law that gives the government or anyone in the government authority to commit a crime, a tort, conspire or lie against an American? ii
