Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether law enforcement officials can systematically violate an individual's constitutional rights with impunity and whether a defendant retains fundamental due process protections during criminal proceedings

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Does holding a position with the local executive branch of government , be it, prosecutors, detectives, or sheriff automatically give them permission to brake the law themselves, the very law they swore to uphold, in the form of purposely and repeatedly denying, and/or ignoring an individuals state and constitutional rights? 2. Do I still hold the right to confront my accusers in the 19CR case? 3. Do I still hold the right to make and keep my plea of not guilty, without having my own attorney change that plea in open court by way of telling the jury in my absence that indeed I was guilty . 4. Do I still hold the right to a fair direct appeal without interference from facility staff members by way of opening legal mail out of my presence and discarding parts of it that could help me regain my freedom before sending the rest of it back to my attorney with out reason? 5. Do I still hold the right to have any and all evidence against me to be tested and brought before the court?
