"I'm eating a big, fat crow sandwich right now."
-Nancy Grace, ex-prosecutor, Court TV, after a jury voted against prosecutors paying huge sums of taxdollars to secret informants who confessed to extortion, purjury and fraud, resulting in "Not Guilty" verdicts for Michael Jackson (Grace was 100% sure that both Jackson and the airline pilots were guilty and 100% wrong that prosecutors were telling the truth)

"The new head of the Transportation Security Administration has called for a broad review of the nation's air security system to update the agency's approach to threats and reduce checkpoint hassles for passengers. The TSA is struggling with new cuts in the screener workforce imposed by Congress while its new leaders hope to improve the agency's poor reputation among air travelers by introducing more customer-friendly measures. The TSA memo proposes to minimize the number of passengers who must be patted down at checkpoints. It also recommends that certain categories of passengers be exempt from airport security screening, such as members of Congress, airline pilots, Cabinet members, state governors, federal judges, high-ranking military officers and people with top-secret security clearances. The proposal also would allow ice picks, throwing stars and bows and arrows on flights. The proposal also would give screeners discretion in determining whether to pat down passengers. For example, screeners would not have to pat down 'those persons whose outermost garments closely conform to the natural contour of the body.'"

"That morning he was trying to go through [airport security] with his Starbucks coffee, and got arrested in this case. Because if he'd not thrown that cup [of coffee] away, I don't think he would have been arrested [for DUI]."
-Beth Karas, Court TV, after the jury verdict against Thomas Cloyd and Christopher Hughes, June 8, 2005 (arrested for "pissing off a peon" TSA cop employed by US Department of Homeland Security WHO ORDERED HIM TO THROW THE COFFEE AWAY - Catch 22)

"On July 1, 2002, at 10:10AM while emplyed by Globe Aviation Services, I Manuel Salazar security screener observed observed a Captain enter a security checkpoint at the Miami International airport. He entered the security checkpoint with a cup in his hand, at which time a female security screener advised him he was not allowed to enter with an open container. The Captain discarded the open container."
-Manuel Salazar, unsigned unsworn letter to FAA, TSA, Globe Inc and Miami-Dade Police Dept

     Beth Karas: "There were plea negotiations, but the judge rejected them. The deal was that the pilots were to plead to the felony and take 14 months in prison. Defense attorneys - not the ones who tried the case but some of our commentators - tell me that there are real appellate issues and are confident that it will be reversed. There's a good chance that Cloyd and Hughes will sit in prison pending an appeal."
     Emanuella Grinberg: "They face up to five years in prison, or as little as probation."
     JT: "Up to 5 years in prison isn't that a little harsh? What I don't understand is why they were prosecuted under driving laws as opposed to FAA laws?"
-Court TV, "Pilots convicted," June 8, 2005

"Two former America West airline pilots convicted of operating a plane while intoxicated must remain in jail before they are sentenced next month, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge David Young ruled Thursday. But Young said he would not release the two men after their conviction for what he called a ''horrendous'' crime. A jury convicted the pair June 8 after a three-week trial."
-Scott Hiassen, Miami Herald, "Convicted America West pilots denied bail at hearing," June 16, 2005

"A Florida judge sentenced former America West pilot Thomas Cloyd to five years in prison and co-pilot Christopher Hughes to two and a half years in prison Thursday for operating an aircraft while intoxicated. Judge David Young told Cloyd, 'Frankly, sir, I have no sympathy and sentence you to five years in prison.'"

This Prosecution Is A Crime

1st-Time DUI-Convicts Face 5 Years in Prison for Victimless "Crime"

SUMMARY

Illiterate fishmouthed prosecutor and Court TV conman perp propaganster lies to gang-rape responsible Amerikans for the New World Order's Police State Gulag slave plantation - Gay judges don't give a shit when "supportive" families throw their kin under the bus by calling them "alcoholics" at sentencing hearings - Gay judges love to break up families and send hetero men for gang-rape in Big Brother's Gulag - That month Court TV CENSORED the trial victory of IRS CPA COP Joe Bannister who proved THE INCOME TAX IS VOLUNTARY and based entirely on fraud by Gangster Government AND THE EDUCATED INTELLIGENT JURY AGREED

MIAMI, FLORIDA - You know you have a challenge when Court TV is morphing your mugshot into subliminal graphics to sell sponsorship, and provides you your own special DUI website to showcase Big Brothers' allegations against you (but none of the evidence entered by your defense lawyers). Or when TheSmokingGun.com TV (logo of the "Clenched Fist" of the Communist Party) keeps tabs on your bar tab. Or when Findlaw.com puts your case files on the same page with President Bill Clinton-Blythe IV's impeachment trial. (But Findlaw "forgot" to post the open public records of George Bush Junior's and Dick Cheney's three DUI convictions, three RICO class actions for perping the 9-11 terrorist massacres, or Bush's rape lawsuit in Houston federal court, or Bush's felony cocaine conviction, or Bush's revoked pilot's license for disobeying direct order for a drug test, or Bush's 6-month sentence for desertion of Air National Guard during time of war?). Or when CNN does a special report that traffic cops are paid $100,000/year overtime pay to testilie, er, testify in court.

You know you have a problem when the minimum fee to hire a competent lawyer for a DUI trial is $25,000, per person - IF you can find such a lawyer specialized exclusively in DUI defense AND who enjoys WINNING jury trials on a regular basis.

Showing weakness and begging Capo Al Capone to stop mugging you is a fatal strategic mistake. Florida's grumpiest retiree Al Capone laughs at those who beg him for mercy. Capone's brother was a cop, and his St. Valentine's day hitmen wore police uniforms. Billionaire Capone lived a billionaire's lifestyle of the homicidal and infamous, under bodyguard protection by the Miami police, prosecutors and judges.

Today, two airline pilots were convicted of their first DUI, and face a precedent-setting sentence of five years in state prison. Wow - jumping from two days in county jail to five years in state prison - this Alcohol Prohibition sure has spun out of control! Next thing you know, prosecutors will be seeking Death Penalties and Life in Prison for DUI, and classifying this victimless crime as a "terrorist act". Oops - too late - that's already The Law!

One year in prison costs taxpayers over $50,000 per prisoner, not counting the $100-million cost of building the prison. So this DUI trial may cost taxpayers over $500,000, and cost the pilots millions in lost income, along with destruction of their families' lives. That's what they get for drinking a cup of coffee, then "pissing off a peon" (what copsters call the "crime" of "contempt of stupid cop").

At least the judge rejected the prosecution's extortion offer of 14 months in state prison for a first-conviction DUI. Probably because the standard first-offense plea agreement is 13 months and 28 days less.

You remember Florida: that sunburned state that gave Amerika the fraud of convicted drunk-driver Bush and twice-convicted drunk-driver Cheney vs. Gore, Terri Shiavo's torture-murder by order of civil martial law, and provided thrice-convicted felon Georgie Bush Junior's "My Pet Goat" alibi, four days after his brother had declared martial law. The Florida that landed those men to the Moon, er, "moon", and returned them safely to Earth, with their amazing survival of the massive doses of solar and cosmic nuclear radiation, as if they had merely sunned themselves under an umbrella on Daytona Beach. The same Florida that refuses to arrest millions of criminal alien terrorists (nor even write them traffic tickets!), while jailing productive US citizens who dare attempt to travel the highways and airways. The same Florida that refuses to arrest the terrorist "president" who mass-murdered 1,000s of Amerikans on September 11, 2001, as proven by evidence entered in federal and state courts. THAT Florida.

In the DUI trial and on TeeVee, a big deal was made of the pilots' credit-card receipt from the restaurant. The First Officer invested $122 on his 4-man flight crew, including tip. Big fucking deal. My own family spends $10,000 on alcohol drinks for three people at dinner (to celebrate winning a big verdict for their client, who paid the tab). Sure, the pilots could have gone to a burger joint and carried a couple of 6-packs to their hotel rooms for $20, but playing pool builds more comraderie and is more intellectually and phsyically stimulating than laying on their hotel beds gawking at sleazy prostitutes on Court TV.

Speaking of prostitutes, as the DUI half-jury deliberated, Court TV's Nancy "Buy My Book" Grace confessed her "fear of 'runaway juries'", and her "love for prosecutors who bully soccer moms in DUI trials". Graceless "forgot" to mention the little fact that this case was appealed all the way to US Supreme Court, preferring gossip about Michael Jackson's invisible jury, held hostage in its 5th day of jury deliberations. Tort Reform: juries should get a max of 5 minutes to vote on any case, or charges should be dismissed.

It's noteworthy that Court TV's expert journalist in this DUI case was Emanuella Grinberg, a rookie college graduate residing in Canada and Mexico. Is she an American citizen? Does she have half-citizenship? She is not a lawyer, nor a paralegal, but is a staff writer for ComixPedia, with an article titled, "Nudity in Webcomics". Young and dumb. An expendable whore for the multinational anti-American media cartel. Is she moonlighting for an intelligence agency? CIA is advertising this week on college campuses for assassins-in-training, with $100,000/year "spy" scholarships (CIA even pays for high school "spy" (drug-dealing) scholarships).

Court TV, in its unfair and biased style, posted boilerplate prosecution checklists but zero defense documents, which might have shed light on TOP SECRET DUI defenses the media-govt syndicate never wants you to know (most so-called "DUI lawyers" are also illiterate on this topic). But then again, defense lawyers appeared grossly ineffective, incompetent, lazy and/or corrupt, for apparently failing to make ANY of the standard (but Top Secret) DUI-Specialist defenses that routinely shatter a DUI prosecution as the fraud that it is. Defense lawyers and defendants dropped the ball by not posting all their legal docs online for the media and public, with PR statements to counter lies perped by prosecutors and media cartel.

This is where Mike Jackson proved his superior intelligence, with his family and friends in court every day even for motion hearings, PR professionals speaking his case, even ex-lawyers testifying for him in court. Every defendant should learn this lesson of influencing a jury, judge, prosecutors, media and public, with the jury on its 6th day of refusing the judge's extortion attempts to convict.

Court TV's mission statement appears to be jury tampering, especially on this DUI case, since DUI-Defense specialists are banned from CTV. Arrest Nancy Grace (he said sarcastically), and sue her for slander and libel for falsely repeating her claim the pilots were the only ones to drink their overpriced bar tab, as proven by the restaurant's covert videotape!!! Nancy Grace and her fishmouthed partner Kimberly Newsome are a disgrace to journalism (but an asset to USSA's Gulag Police State).

Every Amerikan shall lose cherished rights of freedom as a result of this precedent-setting case, as Homeland Security Gestapo now classifies coffee, and reading about your legal rights (or lack thereof), as "proof" of DUI. Airport security video proved the pilots were stone-cold sober as they walked perfectly for long distances, so TSA banned those videos from the public under court-injuncted "National Security"! Talking, walking and standing are the foundation of FST Junk Science.

It's like the Feds censoring their airport security videos on September 11, 2001, that failed to show a single Arab hijacker board one of the doomed airliners, and after the Pentagon's videocams failed to show an American Airlines Boeing 757 pacifying the Pentagon. Or the Feds censoring 12 security videos from the trial of Sergeant Timothy McVeigh, when the videos showed the Oklahoma City Fed Building blowing up 10-seconds before the little truck bomb blew up, proving the Feds bombed their own building from within. Or when my own car was stolen by police and its mafia towing contractors, then police ignored several supoenaes for the in-car videotapes, which resulted in massive and unprecedented financial and legal repercussions against the crooked copster crooked courts, and crooked politicians.

Do you care that DUI is now classified as a terrorist act punishable by death? Do you care that this precedent-setting case resulted in first-conviction DUIs jumping from 2-days in county jail to 5-years in state prison?

Do you really want all restaurants to secretly videotape you eating dinner, then testifying against you in court?

Do you care that there is currently NO "passing score" for blood-alcohol tests - which are ONLY taken AFTER a person is arrested for DUI. Do you care that you can be convicted of DUI with a score of 0.00%? Do you care that DUI machines CANNOT test for alcohol? Do you care that Alcohol has NO "odor of alcohol", proving every cop and prosecutor a liar and perjuror in court?

Did you know that EVERY juror has the legal right and responsibility to rewrite, judge and VOTE on the law in every case? Back in Prohibition days, juries would consume the evidence of moonshine, and aquit the bootleggers for prosecution's "lack of evidence". Judge's routinely abuse this power via there usurped authority as "13th Juror", which Court TV mockingly calls its straightjacketed "reader polls".

Did you know you can drink 24 beers every day and keep a blood-alcohol level of 0.00%, according to government Driver License Testbooks?

Did you know that cops, prosecutors and judges calculate blood-alcohol level based on instantaneous IV injection of alcohol? Did you know that in this case, prosecutors alleged the pilots each drank 5 beers in 5 minutes, within one hour of flying their airliner, with absolutely zero evidence nor testimony of that fraudulent allegation?

Did you know that alcohol is a stimulant that improves driver performance, according to all medical experts? Did you know that the US government requires all combat pilots to fly under-the-influence of prescription stimulants and narcotics, or face court-martial for disobeying a direct order? Do you know what Equal Protection doctrine is?

Did you know these 2 pilots were already jailed in the Loony Bin for 30 days by FAA as condition to get there license back, without trial, without appeal? Did you know that medical malpractice is rampant in 99% of "Rehab/Detox" Loony Bins, routinely resulting in death? Did you know that US MDs genocide 2.5-million Amerikans every year in Death Camps?

Did you know that the pilot's defense attorney Rubin is an ex-cop? Was he required to fail an IQ test like all other cops, or is he just another lazy lawyer without any education in DUI defense? Or did he intentionally sell out his client, while cashing a fat paycheck? How much did these pilots have to pay for their crappy defense - $20,000 each or $50,000 each? Defense lawyers failed to call an expert witness to easily destroy the Police State's bogus DUI Machine, and bogus "Field Sobriety Test". TSA banned videotape of FST from the public because it proved the pilots were perfectly capable of flying and were not "impaired" in the slightest. Defense called only ONE witness (the ground crew tug driver of the plane), while prosecutors called 18 witnesses at taxpayer expense.

Can you say "Ineffective Assistance of Counsel" and "Legal Malpractice"?

Did you know that half of US freight trains have replaced drivers with robots, and pilots are next on the chopping block? Do you want to bet your life by flying on a remote-controlled airliner? That would cure all DUI pilots. Or Big Bro will simply kill the entire airline industry and ban all travel via its new Internal Passport Nazional ID sytem convicted-felon Bush just signed into law. How long will airline passengers continue to pay to be strip-searched in public by TSA cops (a/k/a illegal aliens)? How long will Bushes' Department of Homeland "Security" continue to keep the border wide-open? Hell, this week, Bushes' border guards allowed a mass-murderer through customs unmolested, literally carrying the bloody chainsaw used to dismember his victims. I feel safer already. NOT!!!

Pilots were handcuffed and convicted for DUI just like President George Bush Jr (also convicted for narcotics) and Vice President Dick Cheney (twice convicted for DUI)

Court TV's Living-Dead Talking Heads were temporarily shocked out of their sociopathy, when their live coverage backfired as the jury verdict was read. The pilots and their wives burst into tears, sobbing, and hugging each other for 20 minutes non-stop, in perhaps the final farewell of their lives. Then the pilots were stripped of their clothing in open court, fingerprinted, handcuffed, and jailed, after the judge denied defense oral motions for bail during appeal (as routinely granted in criminal trials, such as dumb Martha Stewarts verdict for volunteering to open her big mouth to police, then volunteered to go to prison during her appeal, which she would probably have won anyway). Defense lawyers dropped the ball by not having a prewritten motion for bail during appeal.

Lawyers joke that at least they don't go to jail when they make mistakes. That's the gullible client's job.

Do you want to live in a Loony Bin for enjoying a single beer at dinner, as dictated by the current law? Why does Court TV ban all DUI Specialists? Do you care about America? Or do you worship the Police State's Gulag?

Gulag Pilots Guilty of Trusting Police State Copsters

by John Lee
Pirate News TV
June 7, 2005

Illiterate pilot sentenced to 5 years in prison for not reading this website - Court TV donated one billion dollars in free advertising to billionaire pedophile Michael Jackson after prosecutors' star witness confessed to perjury and fraud resulting in a jury verdict of "Not Guilty" on all charges - Prosecutors paid Wacko Jacko's accusors with taxpayer-funded New Identity with FREE HOUSE, FREE CAR AND GOVERNMENT FINANCED JOB - Court TV never announced the names of Jackson's accusors and never showed their faces

This week, Court TV is "covering" two show-trials: the DUI-terrorist trial in Miami of two airline pilots defrocked for alleged drunk-driving their "doomed" passenger jet, and the 60th day of pedophilia-on-parade in the sleazy shakedown of near-billionaire Michelle, er, "Mike" Jackson. Mr. Jackson faces 20 years in prison, while the pilots "only" face five years in prison.

Today, Court TV wasted its trial coverage by gossipping endlessly about the invisible Jackson jury, which is locked up for deliberations. Court TV's Nancy "Buy My Book" Grace confessed her "fear of 'runaway juries'", and her "love for prosecutors who bully soccer moms in DUI trials". Ex-prosecutor Grace bragged that she ought to profit from the murder of her ex-fiance. (Bitch probably killed him herself, he wrote sarcastically.)

Court TV's website only posts unsworn reports by police in this DUI case, but not defense legal documents that might reveal Top-Secret defects relevant to all DUI prosecutions.

This DUI verdict will have tremendous repercussions for every airline employee (for those who survived the axing of 100,000 aviation professionals since 9-11-2001), AND for every car-driver and passenger in USA, including those who never enjoy the health benefits of alcohol.

This public lynching-by-DUI is infinitely more important to every American, and has already been appealed to the US Supreme Court, a point ignored by Court TV. Apparently, the "High Court" now ordained that federal property is the exclusive jurisdiction of the states, a point that will potentially move 1,000s of DUI trials out of federal courts and back to state courts, which have no jurisdiction. This decision by the Supremes presumably will deny US prosecutors the right to prosecute terrorist cases originating from airports, all of which are impotently policed by US marshalls and illegal aliens employed as "security guards" by US Department of "Homeland Security".

Isn't that more important than Mr. Jackson's wee wee-wee?

Court TV's coverage of this show-trial is biased in love of Big Brother's Police State. The word "alleged" is apparently not part of Court TV's vocabulary. Its "trial coverage" apparently is defined as pontification by talking heads on a pre-conceived verdict, who are embedded as far-removed from the courtroom as possible. To be fair to Court TV, every other mainline-media-cartel "news" outlet is also guilty of this crime, by censorship of valid defenses - and prosecutorial fraud - in every DUI trial in Amerika.

Terror Tempest Bullshit in a Coffee Cup

US Dept of Homeland Security identified two airline pilots as "terrorists" with "resonable suspicion" of DUI/terrorism based upon pilot asking to read a "new regulation" banning cups of coffee ("which might hide a gun!").

Never mind that pilots are trusted to carry guns at all times - including walking through airports and while piloting airliners - as a prudent no-cost deterant to hijackings.

Jet pilots are paid by the government to fly faster than 500mph - well above the legal terrestrial speed limit. Cops are paid to fail I.Q. tests. Yet it was "suspicious" to the cops for a pilot - to say, "That shit doesn't apply to us!"

"Dumb cops, dumb cops, whatcha gonna do, whatcha going to do with a low IQ?"
—Jay Leno (rider of a 266MPH street-legal jet-engined All-American sportbike), NBC TV, Tonight Show (testified in the Michael Jackson trial re the accusers' attempt at financial shakedown)

"We don't like to hire people that have too high an IQ to be cops in this city."
—Keith Harrigan, Assistant City Manager of New London, Connecticut, Associated Press, CarTalk.com, "Connecticut Police applicant files federal lawsuit -- told he was 'too smart'," May 30, 1997

So keystone cops arrested the entire planeload of travellors as they were towed out for takeoff, destroying travel plans for hundreds of people, and destroying profitability for the bankrupt airlines. These DUI arrests made a laughingstock of the airline industry, which was already dead on its feet after the terror massacres of September 11, 2001.

The Facts of this case:

• Two airline pilots purchased food and beverages from Mr. Moe's restaurant, which covertly videotapes all its customers, and "conveniently" gives those tapes to police (and is probably paid a bounty as a "confidential informant"). The restaurant gave its customers' credit card receipt to police, confessing its price-gouging of $120 for a $20 meal for four people.
• "Cops" falsely alleged they "smelled the odor of alcohol" from the pilots (a boilerplate allegation verbatum in every DUI arrest). Never mind that alcohol has no odor. Actually, these private corporate security guards, employed as subcontractors by US Transportation Security Agency and US Department of Homeland Security, were impersonating "law enforcement officers", since they are not actually "government employees". These security guards may have been illegal aliens (a/k/a terrorists), since 30% of airport screeners were illegal aliens.
• The pilots were suckered to volunteer for "Field Sobriety Tests", that "precisely measure brain damage" by a cop waving his finger in front of a person's face (the so-called "Horizontal-Gaze Task" nastagmus 'test'). 80% of sober cops fail these bogus tests during routine training, which have no "passing score". Caffeine and nicotine prevents any sober person from passing a "failure-designed" balance test.
• The pilots were suckered into "confessing their crimes" (before any requirement for Miranda Warnings), by admitting to police they drank responsibly within the past 24-hours. The pilots were not aware of Amerika's current total Prohibition on responsible use of alcohol ("zero tolerance" ban for "over-age adults"). While the pilots did not testify against themselves during the jury trial, they already testified against themselves BEFORE their arrest, by confessing their consumption of alcohol within the previous 24 hours, and confessing where they consumed that alcohol. Their "defense" lawyers then broadcast the videotape of their clients consuming alcohol (confession on videotape), not only to the jury, but to the entire world on TV. The pilots' families also testified against them re consumption of alcohol, during the sentencing hearing (which resulted in maximum sentences).

The police are not aware that police confess a person can drink 24 alcohol-beverages every 24 hours and maintain a 0.00% blood-alcohol level ("Retrograde Extrapolation"), according to official government publications.

"Cloyd and Hughes were taken to a police station, where they consented to a breathalyzer test at 1 p.m., yielding results of .091 and .084, respectively. Florida's legal limit is .08. One prosecution expert suggested Cloyd's blood-alcohol level could have been as high as .15 and Hughes' as .137 when they first arrived at the airport."
-Mallory Simon, Court TV, "Judge hands down prison sentences to pilots convicted of operating plane drunk," July 21, 2005

"Miami-Dade police officer Harold Ruffner testified Cloyd's first sample, at 12:53 p.m., registered an alcohol level of .091. A second sample, blown into the machine three minutes later, registered an alcohol level of .090. Hughes' first test, administered at 1:07 p.m., registered an alcohol level of .084; his second sample, three minutes later, registered .081."
-Emanuella Grinberg, Court TV, "Judge tosses juror in trial of pilots accused of operating plane intoxicated," June 3, 2005

"Breathalyzers don’t actually measure alcohol. What they actually detect and measure is any chemical compund that contains the methyl group in its molecular structure. There are thousands of such compounds -- including quite a few which can be found on the human breath. And this machine that determines a person’s guilt or innocence will "see" all of those chemicals as alcohol -- and report a falsely high "blood-alcohol" concentration (BAC)."
-Lawrence Taylor, attorney-at-law, DUIblog.com, "Why Breathalyzers Don’t Measure Alcohol" February 2005

"Once used as an indisputable technique for convicting people suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or DUI / DWI, alcohol breath analyzing machine’s results are being thrown out and considered inadmissible as evidence by some judges. Hart County Municipal Judge Frank George last month acquitted a driver who had registered above the legal limit on the breath test, saying he believes the test alone is not sufficient evidence of drunken driving. For example dental work such as plates or bridge work, consumption of antibiotics, diet pills, and even M&M candy and white bread can cause alcohol breath analyzing machines to register as much as a .08, putting a person over the legal drinking limit without the presence of alcohol says William C. Head, who is also founder of the Drinking Driver's Defense Network. Head reports that he has been successful in excluding breath test results in 100% of his breath analyzer test cases since January of 1995. 'The accuracy and reliability of breath testing is a growing issue of concern nationally and really needs to be looked into by our state officials,' he says."
-Atlanta Journal Constitution, "Alcohol Breath Test Machine's Accuracy Disputed Nationally," June 14, 1996

"A district judge has ruled that key components of Virginia's drunken driving laws are unconstitutional, citing a decades-old U.S. Supreme Court decision. The state law presumes that someone with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher is intoxicated, denying their right to a presumption of innocence, Judge Ian O'Flaherty ruled in dismissing charges against at least two alleged drunken drivers last month. 'I am sure there will be lawyers out in the field making similar arguments tomorrow," Steven Oberman, chairman of the DUI defense committee at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said in a telephone interview Thursday.' Corinne Magee [The Magee Law Firm, PLLC, 6845 Elm St McLean, VA, 703-356-7500], a defense lawyer who first successfully argued the issue to O'Flaherty, said the ruling is based on a 1985 U.S. Supreme Court case that deals with prosecutors' obligation to prove all elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Magee said Virginia's law presumes the blood-alcohol level at the time the test is taken is equal to the level at the time of the offense, even if the test occurs hours after police make a stop. O'Flaherty declined to comment; rulings in District Court are made orally so there is no written ruling outlining his rationale."
-CNN, "Judge: Va. drunken driving laws unconstitutional," August 12, 2005 (DOH!)

"It was a creative legal argument -- perhaps brilliant, some said -- and after a brief reflection, a Fairfax County judge bought it, declaring that key components of the state's drunken driving laws are unconstitutional. In a decision that could prompt similar challenges nationwide, Judge Ian M. O'Flaherty cited a decades-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling when in the past month he dismissed charges against three alleged drunk drivers. O'Flaherty, one of 10 judges who preside over traffic cases in Fairfax County District Court, ruled that Virginia's law is unconstitutional because it presumes an individual with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher is intoxicated and denies a defendant's right to the presumption of innocence. As a district judge, O'Flaherty does not establish formal precedent with his rulings. But reports of the constitutional argument have quickly found their way onto Web logs and into the offices of defense attorneys and prosecutors across the country, prompting some to explore tactics to exploit or attack the Fairfax decisions. 'There will be similar motions everywhere, no doubt about that,' said Steven Oberman, chairman of the DUI defense committee at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. 'There are lawyers everywhere who are looking at this issue again in a different light.' A lot will depend on each state's interpretation of its drunken driving laws, Oberman added, and whether a person with a 0.08 blood alcohol level is presumed, by law, to be intoxicated. If so, as is the case in Virginia, other elements must still be proven, including whether the defendant also failed a roadside sobriety test. Corinne Magee, the attorney whose challenge of the state's drunken driving law led to O'Flaherty's ruling, said the decision was based on the 1985 U.S. Supreme Court case Francis v. Franklin [471 U. S. 307 (1985), 11th Circuit US Court of Appeals], which dealt with a prosecutor's obligation to prove all elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. After closely reading the decision, Magee said she realized that it could apply to the state's drunken driving laws. 'I expected him to convict on other evidence in the case,' Magee said of O'Flaherty, who presided over the case in which her client was accused of driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.21, more than twice the legal limit. 'I was surprised when he dismissed the case . . . but I think it was based on a very careful reading of the Francis case.' Magee said she was troubled by the law because it presumes intoxication at 0.08 and that the driver was at that level while driving, even if the test was administered hours after the driver was stopped. She said a person's blood alcohol level can fluctuate depending on when the last drink was consumed and how that person's body metabolizes alcohol. 'If this ruling became the law of the land, it would be devastating for all DUI cases,' Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Robert F. Horan Jr. said. 'For all these years, it has passed muster, and now one judge has decided it doesn't. "Our hope is to get it through to circuit court and let it play out and go from there.' Moreover, Horan said, O'Flaherty misinterpreted the obscure and rarely cited 20-year-old case. Because of carefully phrased statutes, defendants in drunken driving cases have to prove they were not intoxicated, he said. Because prosecutors can appeal only cases dismissed by a circuit court judge, Horan said his office plans to prosecute three other DUI cases in circuit court. O'Flaherty did not return a call seeking comment. A. E. Dick Howard, a constitutional law professor at University of Virginia, said O'Flaherty's ruling appears misguided, an 'idiosyncratic ruling' that if followed could 'create massive upheaval and seismic shock in courtrooms across the country.'"

"A jury instruction that creates a mandatory presumption whereby the jury must infer the presumed fact if the State proves certain predicate [471 U.S. 307, 308] facts violates the Due Process Clause if it relieves the State of the burden of persuasion on an element of an offense."
-US Supreme Court, Sandstrom v. Montana, 442 U.S. 510 (1979)

Sandstrom v. Montana made clear that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the State from making use of jury instructions that have the effect of relieving the State of the burden of proof enunciated in Winship on the critical question of intent in a criminal prosecution. Today we reaffirm the rule of Sandstrom and the wellspring due process principle from which it was drawn."

"Jurors watched two hours of footage from a bar surveillance camera Wednesday showing two America West pilots shooting pool and drinking beers. Defense lawyers played the video during cross-examination of bartender Alvaro "Balo" Simpson. Thomas Cloyd and Christopher Hughes, who are accused of operating an aircraft while intoxicated, ran up a bar tab of 17 pints. The video footage was shot from the surveillance camera above the pool table at Mr. Moe's cantina. Simpson testified the video did not refresh his recollections of exactly how many times he served Cloyd and Hughes. In the video, the defendants were not seen guzzling as many beers as their $122 tab implied. The men did, however, rack up countless pool games with strangers and exchange hugs with fellow drinkers as the evening went on."
-Emanuella Grinberg, Court TV, "Defense shows video of pilots appearing to drink less than bar tab suggests," May 25, 2005

"To show the amount of beer consumed by two former pilots on the eve of a cross-country flight, prosecutors lined up 14 empty glasses on the witness stand Tuesday during the testimony of the bartender who served them. Alvaro "Balo" Simpson, who works at Mr. Moe's sports bar in Miami, testified he served America West pilots Thomas Cloyd and Christopher Hughes several pints of Sierra Nevada from 10:30 p.m. to 4:15 a.m. — before they were scheduled to pilot flight 556 to Phoenix at 10:38 a.m. on July 1, 2002. Simpson testified he did not remember serving the two pilots all of the beers, but remembered that first officer Hughes paid the $122 bar tab [including food and drinks for four or more people - JL] after disputing it with Cloyd. On cross-examination, however, he testified that neither man got out of hand. 'Did they display any visible signs of intoxication?' Cloyd's attorney Donald Foodman asked. 'Not to the point to stop serving them,' he said. The jury of six men and one woman also saw several clips from Mr. Moe's surveillance cameras showing the pilots, dressed casually in shorts and T-shirts, shooting pool and saying good night to two colleagues who left them just before 12 a.m."

"The liver can oxidize one drink per hour. Spacing your drinks over a longer period of time will slow the rate at which you become intoxicated and indicates responsible drinking habits."
—verbatum quote from Tennessee Driver Handbook and Driver License Study Guide (1999 - 2005, also available in Spanish)

"Retrograde Extrapolation" is a pseudo-scientific guestimate of how fast alcohol is absorbed by the person's gut, combined with a guestimate of how fast a person's liver can demolish the alcohol molecules and convert them into vinegar piss.

image by John Lee

Instead of telling a truth, cops, prosecutors and judges invented the fiction of "Pseudo-Retrograde Extrapolation", that presumes the "alcoholic" injected himself by IV with pure alcohol (bypassing delayed absorbtion through the gut), and presumes drinking every drink instantaneously, with an initial sky-high blood-alcohol rate that decreases slowly with time.

image by John Lee

To have the blood-alcohol level alleged against these pilots, they would each have been required to drink 5 drinks during the one hour before their flight, which would have rendered them too drunk to walk, much less follow the massive checklist for jump-starting their aircraft.

The Law of This Case

During National Alcohol Prohibition (The Great Depression and Rise of Organized Crime), jurors exercised their Constitutional right to decide the law of any case by consuming the evidence during jury deliberations, forcing the judge ("The 13th Juror") to dismiss charges of bootlegging for "failure to prosecute". Every juror in every trial has the legal right and responsibility to vote or veto every law relevant to that trial ("legislating from the jury box"). This power of citizenship is censored from every citizen, by collusion between the government fool, er, "school" system and the multi-national media cartel. Judges routinely exercise their own power of "jury nullification" in every trial ("judicial discretion"). Prosecutors and police routinely exercise their own powers of "jury nullification" ("selective enforcement"), during their own ex-parte summary hearings (i.e. "traffic stops").

JURY NULLIFICATION.
The acquitting of a defendant by a jury in disregard of the judge's instructions and contrary to the jury's findings of fact. Note: Jury nullification is most likely to occur when a jury is sympathetic toward a defendant or regards the law under which the defendant is charged with disfavor. Except for a statutory requirement to the contrary, a jury does not have to be instructed on the possibility of jury nullification.
—Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law 1996

LAW OF THE TRIAL.
A legal theory or court ruling that is not objected to and is used or relied on in a trial. [Neither party objected to the court's jury instruction, so it because the law of the trial.] CF. LAW OF THE CASE.

"You are the exclusive judges of the facts in this case. Also, you are the exclusive judges of the law under the direction of the court. You should apply the law to the facts in deciding this case. You should consider all of the evidence in the light of your own observations and experience in life. COMMENTS 1. This instruction must be given in each case."
—Tennessee Pattern Jury Instructions (T.P.I.) - CRIM 1.08, JURY: JUDGES OF FACTS AND LAW (2003)

"'A criminal defendant has a right that the court instruct the jury of its inherent right to disregard the law and the facts in controversy and to nullify.' The NH House has passed an act (HB 122) insuring the right of juries to judge the law, as well as the facts in the case, ensuring the power of jury nullification. The bill is sponsored almost totally by Republicans, so that means the Senate should pass it as well, and Governor Benson will likely sign it. One of the cornerstone issues of Libertarianism is about to become the law of the land in New Hampshire. Although mention of Jury Nullification has always been allowed in New Hampshire courts during closing arguments, this bill will enumerate that power into law."

I also liked to request a jury charge under Article I, Section I of the Tennessee Constitution: 'All power inherent in the people - Government under their control. That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.'"

Homeland Security Gulag

The Anti-Patriot Acts define every Amerikan as "domestic terrorists", since EVERY "crime" is now defined as an act of "terorrism", including DUI and parking tickets ("it might be a car-bomb!"). Death Penalties are now routinely legislated, prosecuted and adjudicated for almost every "crime", including DUI.

US Department of "Homeland Security" (what a funny name!) is directed by Michael Chertoff, who is a Commie-Czech-born Jewish citizen of Israel (which has been under martial law since its takeover of Palestine in 1948). His baby cousin Benjamin Chertoff attacked this author for daring to ask "Who shot down 'United Airlines Flight 93'," and Colonel Donn de Grand-pre answering, "It was Major Rick Gibney of the North Dakota National Guard."

Mad-Mike Chertoff wants the Pentagon to shoot down all US aircraft that routinely deviate from robotic flight plans, and murder all passengers on board, and murder all innocent bystanders pancaked by flaming debris. President (sic) Bush Jr. signed executive orders granting Israli Mossad a blanket "License to Kill" Amerikan citizens ("terrorists") at will, in Amerika, without arrest, without trial, without appeal.

"President" Georgie Bush Junior (what a funny concept!) ordered that all US borders remain wide-open to invasion by "illegal-alien" Death Squads, and granted amnesty to 30-million criminal alien terrorists already inside USA (who are immune to arrest for civil traffic citations, since they did not volunteer for Driver License contracts).

Court TV prosecutors celebrate destruction of family and looting of taxpayers as copilot hugs his stewardess wife and kids goodbye for the next 5 years

The ulterior motives for routine prosecutions of pro pilots for victimless "pre-crimes" is to destroy the US airline industry, and to eventually ban most travel in Amerika "for homeland security", but to remove ALL pilots from the cockpit, and replace them with "perfect" robots flying insanely expensive Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), each requiring an army groundcrew of Mission Controllers (and overpaid government contractors). This is the publicly proposed fate of airline pilots and military pilots, eliminating the demand for multi-milion-dollar retirement pensions.

This fate has already befallen drivers of runaway freight trains, half of which are already under exclusive operation by remote control, with no human beings allowed on board. Today, large remote-controlled aircraft routinely take-off and land at US airports, playing chicken with airliners in competition for the unfriendly skies.

Slaughterhouse 911

Dial 911 and Die is the catchy title of a law book by "Jews for the Preservation Of Firearms Ownership" (JPFO.org). It confesses the legal fact that government and police have zero responsibility for public safety. Police are not even required to respond when you dial "911" and report a burgler with a machete breaking into your home. When that burgler kills you, your family has no legal right to sue the government for its failure to save you.

It's also VERY odd that Big Brother named its 911 Emergency Dispatch system for SATAN, as confessed by Revelation 9:11, in the Christian Bible. Why do you think "your" government would do that? Is that some kind of inside joke, by the queer folk who romp nekked in the California redwoods and perform ritual human sacrifice to a 50-foot-tall concrete idol of Satan, er, "Molech", er, "The Owl of Bohemia", at Boehemian Grove presidential retreat and homosexual nudist colony?

Just the thought of Georges Bush and Bill Clinton-Blythe IV (Lawrence Rockefeller's bastard) holding Tricky Dick Cheney's dick and writing their names in the pine needles is enough to scare most people into voting Constitutional, Libertarian or Green. (See the Hollyweird dark docucomedy "Teddy Bear's Picnic".)

Pentagon and CIA's Operation NORTHWOODS (declassified by US Congress in 2000), confessed our US government's plan to "hijack" US airliners by remote-control - and blow them up by remote-control - to blame innocent foreign "enemies" and "justify" invading those nations and slaughtering its citizens (and murdering 1,000s of US soldiers), even hiring those "enemy" soldiers to attack US military bases overseas, and ordering US soldiers to sabotage US military assets and perp terrorist attacks against Amerikan citizens in USA. At least Psycho Big Brother planned to swap the real airliners with fake CIA robots, then repaint the "live" airliners and give the CIA agent-provov\cateurs "new" ID (or rather, revert to their original identities).

Machiavelli must be masturbating in his grave, fantacizing about his ruthless offspring fornicating in coffins at Skull & Bones.

President (Ha!) George Bush Junior is currently sued in federal and state courts for perping the terrorist massacres on September 11, 2001, and is currently facing indictment for terrorism by criminal courts in New York City. (Read the court documents at the lawyers' website: SueTheTerrorists.net and 911ForTheTruth.com) Yet who gets massive police escort through airports, and who gets strip-searched in airports? Who profits by trillions of dollars in "anti-terrorist" government contracts, and who pays trillions of taxdollars to "fight" terrorism?

"One time, back in the fall, they said a 100% chance tomorrow. I thought: 'That's a very high percentage. How do you know that? Are YOU doing it?' I mean, how do you know all that? You know, if you are going to call people 'traitors' and bring that up, I can mention a few people who I think are a lot more 'traitorous'!"

Government as God

Is Amerika's new god, "In Government We Trust"? Who is YOUR God?

It has been said that almost nobody would cannibalize flesh if they witnessed events in a slaughterhouse.

I was shocked the first time I saw the innards of a supersonic General Dynamics F-111 slaughterhouse, as a gatlin-gun mechanic and nuke-bomb loader in The US Air Force. When I helped build my Dad's homebuilt jetplane, drilling giant holes in the plastic wing and glueing its fuselage together, I blinked when the offer came to buzz the international airport and military base in it at 450mph.

The first time I soloed a private airplane - dodging airliners and military tankers in competition for the runway - I was shocked at how many mistakes a pilot can make and still be congratualed by the control tower: "That's the best touch-and-go landings we've ever seen!" (Do they really say that to all rookie pilots? Not! At least they didn't have to watch a repeat of my first landing exhibition, of How to Bounce an Airplane on Its Nosewheel while calmly yelling "Holy Shit!" "Don't talk, FLY Young Grasshopper," my Zenmaster advised through clenched teeth.)

The first time I participated in a mock trial in a real courtroom - pretending to be a cop on trial for shooting a rival in the ass - I was shocked at how easy it was to "TestiLie" - as cops boast in their autobiographies (University of Tennessee, audit 3L "Trial Techniques", taught by ex-homicide prosecutor Bob "Dr Death" Jolly). When I won my first trial pro se in state court - against a team of government trial lawyers - I became the first of Dr. Death's law-school graduates to win a trial, which he thought was quite funny.

My family of trial lawyers and judges have some interesting observations about their profession (or lack thereof):

"I've never won a trial. I've had 1,000s of trials. I never watch court cases on TV to see how they turn out. I never lose sleep when my clients go to jail."
-My sister, the licensed pilot and a government-employed "Public Defender" practicing in a large city

"I've never read the entire Tennessee Code, Title 55, of the Motor Vehicle Code."
-My Dad, the US Air Force colonel and private jet pilot who specializes in motor-vehicle crash cases, including the 9-11-2001 trillion-dollar terrorist class actions sued against the Saudi Arabian royal family and Usama Bin Laden, past-president of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, candidate for US Senate, former Court Clerk and Master in Tennessee, and a past-president of the Tennessee Constitutional Convention

"My client was running nekked in the woods, and another hiker got mad and started a fight, resulting in arrest of my client. It turned out the hiker who started the fight was prosecuting attorney. My client kicked his ass. Ha! After I kicked his ass in court, the three of us ran up a $10,000 bar tab in celebration, billed to the client!"
-My brother, the lawyer, licensed pilot and new aircraft salesman

"My god! A judge was arrested for using a peterpump on himself in court?! During a murder trial?! It doesn't surprise me."
-My cousin, the state appellate court judge (CNN TV News, CNN.com, Reuters, "Judge suspected of masturbating in court," June 24, 2004 )

Judge Donald "Peterpump" Thompson

"A former judge convicted of exposing himself while presiding over jury trials by using a sexual device under his robe was sentenced Friday to four years in prison. Donald Thompson had spent almost 23 years on the bench and had served as a state legislator before retiring from the court in 2004. He showed no reaction when he was sentenced. At his trial this summer, his former court reporter, Lisa Foster, testified that she saw Thompson expose himself at least 15 times during trial between 2001 and 2003. Prosecutors said he also used a device known as a penis pump during at least four trials in the same period. Thompson, 59, was convicted last month of four felony courts of indecent exposure for incidents that took place in his Creek County courtroom. Thompson, a married father of three grown children, testified that the penis pump was given to him as a joke by a longtime hunting and fishing buddy. ``It wasn't something I was hiding,'' he said. He said he may have absentmindedly squeezed the pump's handle during court cases but never used it to masturbate. Foster told authorities that she saw Thompson use the device almost daily during the August 2003 murder trial of a man accused of shaking a toddler to death. A whooshing sound could be heard on Foster's audiotape of the trial. When jurors asked the judge about the sound, Thompson said he hadn't heard it but would listen for it. Police built a case against the judge after a police officer testifying in a 2003 murder trial saw a piece of plastic tubing disappear under Thompson's robe. During a lunch break, officers took photographs of the pump under the desk. Investigators later checked the carpet, Thompson's robes and the chair behind the bench and found semen, according to court records. Carmelia Brossett, a senior probation officer for the state Department of Corrections, said in a presentencing report that Thompson refused to undergo psychosexual testing. ``Thompson's denial of the offense would likely present difficulty, if not inability for treatment providers to provide meaningful and beneficial sex-offender treatment,'' she said. The jury recommended a sentence of one year in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count. The jury foreman has said it was the jury's intent that Thompson serve the full sentence. Judge C. Allen McCall denied a defense motion asking that Thompson be allowed to remain free pending an appeal. Thompson was also ordered to pay a $40,000 fine."
-Murry Evans, Associated Press, London Guardian, "Judge Gets 4 Years for Exposing Himself," August 18, 2006

When I first heard eyewitnesses to what military pilots do behind closed doors at the Officers Club, I realized Big Brother only promotes employees who party hard. It's how pilots routinely relieve stress from their obcessively disciplined job.

Do YOU want to trust your life to a robotic pilot on pins and needles, wound up tight and ready to explode? Or do you want a relaxed pilot with sanity intact? Do you want a freeman to pilot your plane, or do you want a slave?

During the Gulf Wars, Big Bro ordered that EVERY combat pilot, combat driver and combat soldier consume mind-kontrolling stimulants and narcotics, as condition to employment, for face felony conviction for NOT flying blind. In other words, stimulants and narcotics IMPROVE flight performance of pilots.

Alcohol is classified as a STIMULANT during medical testing, as proven by every person who chooses to drink alcohol for its anti-depressant effects. If it were a depressant, no one would spend wages to buy such a downer, only to contemplate suicide then pass out.

"Most studies of nerve conduction and transmission, EEG records, and behavioral performance indicate stimulant actions of low doses and depressant actions at high doses."
—H. Wallgren and H. Barry, "Actions of Alcohol"

"Neuronal activity is stimulated by low concentrations and depressed by high concentrations of alcohol."
—B. Kissin and H. Beglleiter, R.G. Grenell, Journal on Biology of Alcoholism, "Effects of Alcohol on the Neuron"

This government policy requiring "GO-PILLS" and "STOP-PILLS" for military pilots is relevant to the DUI trial of airline pilots, since this is a violation of of constitutional Equal Protection doctrine: what's good for government employees is the law for everyone else.

Who do you trust with your life, a minimum-wage renta-cop paid "commission" for convictions ("overtime pay" to testilie), who has zero knowledge of biology, chemistry, engineering and flight operations - or do you trust a multi-licensed jet pilot with a million-dollar education?

If the bullshit's thick, you must aquit.

PS: Court TV's "coverage" appears designed with the sole purpose of influencing jurors to "accept their impotence" (brainwashed with BS). I dare you to give a copy of this report to jurors in this case....

Hello,

I'm sick of hearing incompetent talking heads on Court TV, and incompetent lawyers on Court TV, lynching the two airline pilots in Miami this month. They were sentenced to 4 and 5 years for first-conviction DUI in a parking lot. The only "evidence" of "drunkeness" was carrying a cup of coffee. No kidding.

It was a disgusting circus of incompetence of the "justice system".

I'm hoping that since you guys are the experts at DUI law, someone in your office might have something intelligent to say about this landmark case that has already been appealed to US Supreme Court (denied cert on interlocutory appeal), which Court TV "forgot" to mention in its 24/7 stakeout of this trial.

Perhaps you could write a brief article about this case in your blog?

I've read Mr Taylor's books and most of his excellent website, but I'm hoping someone will comment on this case, based upon an intelligent look at the facts and law. Even a law journal article would be helpful, but I haven't found one so far.

Court TV's "legal expert", Emanuella Grinberg, is a journalist who just graduated from college, lacking any law degree. Her specialty was writing articles about pornography in comic books. During this trial, Court TV's Nancy "Buy My Tabloid Book" Grace confessed her "fear of 'runaway juries'", and her "love for prosecutors who bully soccer moms in DUI trials". The best part of Court TV's coverage was ex-prosecutor Grace holding up a giant "Crow Sandwich" and taking a bite out of it, but that was re her failure to correctly predict the simultaneous verdict in the Michael Jackson trial, because she ignored the confessed perjury of Jackson's government-employed accusers.

Either Court TV's trial coverage was 100% biased in favor of the prosecution, or the pilots' lawyers were guilty of malpractice, at best. They did not can any expert witnesses to rebut breath-alcohol machinery, nor to rebut the FSTs, while Florida called 18 witnesses.

Defendants did not testify, but they previously "volunteered" for the Loony Bin "Detox/Rehab", which is a literal confession to the "crime" of alcoholism, and this WAS used against them in court. Especially when the pilots' family and coworkers "confessed" their "alcoholism" for them in the sentencing hearing: "They are doing such a good job briefing other airline pilots on the dangers of getting drunk on duty". As George Gordon School of Common Law advised when talking to police and in court: "Just say NO - Sit down and shut up". $5,000 fines with 5-day/week AA meetings, plus state prison, plus a lecture and insults from the gay judge, who apparently loves sending heterosexual family men to gay prisons, and thus destroying their wives and children as well.

US Dept of Homeland Security censored the FST videotapes from the public, and possibly censored them from the jury. Yet Court TV looped the video from the restaurant the pilots ate dinner in, which only showed the pilots shooting pool, while displaying the credit card receipt for a $130 for 4+ people, like that was all that's required for a lynching.

My own brother-the-lawyer ran up a $10,000 bar tab for 3 people, celebrating a trial victory, billed to his client. His naked client had whipped a prosecutor on top of a Tennessee mountain, then my brother whipped the prosecutor in court. My wife works in the restaurant business, and they routinely have customers with $30,000 "bar tabs" (especially wedding receptions), although she was assaulted once by a drunk lawyer featured on Court TV. So I'm not impressed by a pilot spending $130 on his flight crews' espri d'corp, or staying up all night, when they normally work the night shift.

In this DUI case, the retrograde extrapolation did not add up to the testimony entered into evidence by the prosecution. I call this "psuedo-retrograde extrapolation". According to Tennessee Driver License Handbook, since a liver can burn one beer per hour, thus a normal healthy person can literally consume 24 beers per day and keep a BAC of 0.00%. But "psuedo-retrograde extrapolation" ignores this fact, and presumes injection of alcohol directly into the blood - not one beer per hour, but the entire amount in one dose, and then only at the time alleged for the last drink consumed normally. This appears to be what heppened in the pilots' case.

Is it possible for someone in your office to make a comment or calculation on this issue?

I asked a panel of lawyers this question on WLAC AM radio, on their weekly "Legally Speaking" talk radio show. Ed Fowlkes, on the show, wrote the "Book on DUI" (in Tennessee), which I have a copy of. It only covers Tennessee Rules of Procedure in preliminary hearings in lower-tier courts (that would apply to any misdemeanor case), and nothing in criminal court, and nothing about details of DUI law. When I told him what the BAC in this case was alleged to be, he laughed and replied, "Then they MUST have been drunk!" I replied on the radio, "Well Lawrence Taylor would disagree with you." The next week, Mr Ed admitted that Tennessee does not currently have DUI Certification for lawyers. Tennessee Bar Association et al are considering such certification and specialization in 2006, but even that does not guarantee "enthusiastic defense", since it requires only that a lawyer handle 50% of his caseload in DUI courts, and requires letters of approval from DUI judges. WINNING DUI CASES IS NEVER REQUIRED. A LAWYER CERTIFIED AS A "DUI SPECIALIST" CAN STILL LOSE 100% OF HIS DUI CASES. Frankly, I'm not sure I would trust any lawyer on that panel with any legal matter whatsoever. It's almost better to be pro se in a DUI trial, than to spend $20,000 to $100,000 on a lawyer who will only sell you out to his alcoholic friends ("Sober as a Judge").

I'm a disabled "Gulf War veteran", fighting a Social Security Disability claim in ALJ courts for the past 7 years, waiting for a date in US District Court. One thing I'm doing is homeskool in paralegal certification. I prefer specialization in motor-vehicle law, since I spent many years racing cars in Europe, against some of the most-overpaid racers in the world today. I have won several trials pro se in city court and appeal to state circuit court, and in other courts, as both defendant and plaintiff.

Did you know that by using a Homestead Exemption, an "indigent" pro se can avoid all payment for "losing" a "misdemanor citation" case in "traffic court" or "misdemeanor court", according to Judge John Rossen in Knoxville City Court, in his final order in Knoxville vs William Pittman, a case I coached to "victory"? I also got that court clerk fired for theft and extortion of subordinates paychecks, and many other felonies, after I subpoenaed him to testify in my own pro se case re his Top Secret court docket of 125,000 annual misdemeanor citations with zero accountability of revenues. I also got over 100 city employees fired for felony theft of motor vehicles, and even the mayor sued his own ex-employees in 2 class actions for contract fraud, to cover his own butt in a cross-complaint against my own two class actions.

So motor vehicle law can get interesting. In my case, I'm only litigating "parking tickets" and lack thereof, and dozens of tow-truckers and cops are now facing grand juries and IRS auditors for car theft.

Maybe when I pass my paralegal certification, I'll apply to work for a DUI specialist, if there are any in Tennessee. If I don't recover my health, then I at least don't want to live in a Police State.

Drunk alcoholic pilots who are drunk on the job are a bad thing, but that was never proven in this trial. Any comment on this case will be appreciated.

As for Judge Oberman, chairman of NCDD, I heard him tell a lecture at UT College of Law that "alcohol has an odor", and I pointed out that he was incorrect, since pure alcohol has no odor, and he conceeded that point to the class. That was a "big" point of "evidence" in the pilots' case, according to Court TV, with the TSA cop testilying that he/she "smelled the odor of alcohol", without any objection from defense counsel (ex-cop, not certified in DUI defense). The pilot stated it was mouthwash, which, of course, would give a false reading on a BAC machine, had defense counsel bothered to argue that issue.

Thank you for your time,

PS: I'm a pilot and I helped build my dad's plastic jet-prop aircraft, and no, its wings didn't fall off when the Tower begged him to buzz the international airport at 450mph. I also worked on supersonic swing-wing bombers in USAF. I worked for a law firm on wrongful death cases of people tortured and murdered by police, including an ex-cop beaten to death during a "DUI traffic stop", and an unconvicted diabetic tortured to death in illegal solitary confinement by denial of all water, food and medical care. I have worked as an unpaid "citizen informant" in a successful arrest and conviction for murder of a serial-killing hitman with a false passport employed by our Gangster Government's police as a "confidential informant". I have personally gotten over 100 police employees of Gangster Government fired for felony car-theft and theft of traffic court revenues, plus 4 class actions and pending grand jury indictments in that case. i have personally prosecuted criminal charges against commanding officers/pilots in US Air Force, resulting in their removal from command in time of war. I'm not against "law enforcement", I'm against Gangster Government's Police State Gulag full of innocent sheeple.

"There's a report out tonight that 24-years ago I was apprehended in Kennebunkport, Maine, for a DUI. That's an accurate story. I'm not proud of that. I oftentimes said that years ago I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much and I did on that night. I was pulled over. I admitted to the policeman that I had been drinking. I paid a fine. And I regret that it happened. But it did. I've learned my lesson."

I have a friend who is a cop who says that in his experience, probably 75% of auto accidents have a DUI component. They just can't prove all of them. When the perpetrator is killed in the accident, there is not always an autopsy--particularly if there is not enough of a body left to do a full autopsy. The one-beer-per-hour argument is specious. I doubt seriously that the pilot and co-pilot were limiting their intake to one drink per hour. Otherwise, it would have taken them 17 hours of steady drinking to run up a $170 bar bill even at $5/per drink ($170/$5 per drink/2 drinkers). What produces intoxication is the fact that if you drink 5 beers per hour, the liver doesn't work any faster. It still oxidizes alcohol at the rate of one beer per hour. You can argue until the cows come home whether the sentences were "fair"--there's hardly a soul in prison who got a "fair" deal--but the pilots behavior can not be justified.

Get over your brainwashing, before it kills you. Allegations of 20,000 annual deaths by drunk drivers are based entirely on statistical fraud and medical malpractice. The majority of those deaths are PRIMARILY due to nonexistant driver training (like pilots got 100 years ago), defective motor vehicle design (exploding Pintos, et al), defective highway design (guardrails planted 1-foot deep etc). Medical doctors routinely falsify blood tests of crash victims. For example, it is impossible to test blood for alcohol of a dead person, unless the blood is ONLY taken from the heart itself, and even then it is only accurate if death is instantaneous, which it almost never is. Otherwise, the gut bursts in a crash and undigested alcohol/food mixes with blood. Loss of blood also changes alcohol concentration, etc, etc. Blood routinely ferments in test tubes and this literally grows alcohol. Everyone has alcohol in their blood 24/7, even when they never drink alcohol, since it is a natural part of the body, just like hydrogen peroxide. Methanol is in all fruits and veggies. NO MACHINE CAN TEST FOR ALCOHOL, AND NO MANUFACTURER GUARANTEES ITS PRODUCT UNDER WARANTEE TO TEST FOR ALCOHOL (DOH!). Most people who die after crashes die not from the crash, but die from lack of medical care (cops outnumber ambulance crews 10:1, and cops NEVER provide first aid to crash victims, even when 10 cops are standing around a crash victim), or die after medical doctors screw up, such as broken bones causing fatal blood clots, or infections caught from filthy hospitals and doctors not washing their hands. Medical doctors MURDER over 2.5-MILLION Americans EVERY YEAR in medical DEATH CAMPS, with immunity from arrest. If you are in a crash, you are better off going home than to a hospital, statistically speaking. Gangster Government wants to murder 90% of all humans, including 90% of Americans, and then steal all their wealth. That's the dream of all criminals. All cops are career criminals, since their illegal ticket quotas and illegal arrest quotas are felony racketeering and organized crime. Police Death Squads murder 1,000 Americans every year by Summary Execution during CIVIL Service of Process of CIVIL "Misdemeanor Citations", including murder of 1/3rd innocent bystanders. Our Gangster Government perped the September 11 Massacres, as confessed by Gangster Government on TV and in current class actions in federal and state courts and in state grand juries in NY City. TSA copsters in airports are 30% illegal aliens, and cops refuse to arrest and deport 30-million illegal alien terrorists, while wand-raping American citizens walking through airports. Prohibition only protects drug-dealing gangsters who now run our government, and raises their profit margin, proven by Bush Gang's Iran-Contra convictions. Wake up before those psychos kill you.

"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5) Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate of 3 million(14) multiplied by the 14% fatality rate he used in 1994 produces an annual death rate of 420,000 for drug errors and medical errors combined. Using this number instead of Lazorou's 106,000 drug errors and the Institute of Medicine 's (IOM) estimated 98,000 annual medical errors would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. An estimated 164 million people—more than half of the total US population—receive unneeded medical treatment over the course of a decade. What's iatrogenesis? From the Greek roots iatros = doctor & genesis = caused: DRUG IATROGENESIS -- Prescription drugs constitute the major treatment modality of scientific medicine. With the discovery of the 'germ theory,' medical scientists convinced the public that infectious organisms were the cause of illness. Finding the 'cure' for these infections proved much harder than anyone imagined. From the beginning, chemical drugs promised much more than they delivered. But far beyond not working, the drugs also caused incalculable side effects. The drugs themselves, even when properly prescribed, have side effects that can be fatal, as Lazarou's study showed. But human error can make the situation even worse. As few as 5% and no more than 20% of iatrogenic acts are ever reported. This implies that if medical errors were completely and accurately reported, we would have an annual iatrogenic death toll much higher than 783,936. In 1994, Leape said his figure of 180,000 medical mistakes resulting in death annually was equivalent to three jumbo-jet crashes every two days. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day."

The panel of six men arrived at their decision after about six hours of deliberation, which began Tuesday afternoon in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. The two men bowed their heads as the verdicts were read aloud in the same courtroom where Ted Bundy was convicted of murder and O.J. Simpson was acquitted of road rage. Attorneys for Cloyd and Hughes declined comment, as did jurors, although one man simply said that the panel had followed the law.

  "Over the last twenty years, the Western world's attitude toward nudity in forms of pop culture has shifted toward a more liberal attitude at an unprecedented rate. Images of nude bodies and sexual themes that used to be confined to either underground or exploitive – i.e., pornographic – venues have today become a mainstay of most primetime programming and blockbuster cinema. A recent Comixpedia.com discussion attempted to gauge whether the same trend can be detected in webcomics. Simply put, in the words of one contributor – Pepius: 'Aside from a pornographic comic, nudity should be only used for the sake of the story.'"

• Breathalyzer & Breath-Tester Accuracy Facts & Information
  Brief Reports on Breath Tester Accuracy Issues
  by David J. Hanson, Ph.D.
  "An overview of issues involving the use of breath analyzers is found in Breath Analyzer Accuracy. Breathalyers can be very inaccurate. Breath analyzers (Breathalyzer, Intoxilyzer, Alcosensor, Alcoscan and BAC Datamaster are common brand names) don't actually test blood alcohol concentration (BAC), which requires the analysis of a blood sample. Instead, they estimate BAC indirectly. Different types of machine use different techniqes and larger machines generally yield better estimates than do hand-held models. Therefore, some states don't permit data or "readings" from hand-held machines to be presented as evidence in court. South Dakota does not even permit evidence from any type or size breath tester. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has found that dieters and diabetics can have acetone levels hundreds and even thousand of times higher than that in others. Acetone is one of the many substances that can be falsely identified as ethyl alcohol by some breath machines. One investigator has reported that alcohol-free subjects can generate BAC readings of about .05 after eating various types of bread products."
• National College of DUI Defense
  The American Bar Association, in 2003, recognized DUI Defense Law as a specialty area in the practice of law, and in 2004 the ABA awarded its "Certificate of Accreditation" to the Board Certification program of the National College for DUI Defense. The NCDD is the only organization in the country accredited to certify lawyers in the DUI Defense Law specialty practice area. ABA accreditation is currently recognized in 20 states. DUI cases are especially complex because they require defense counsel to understand scientific, as well as legal processes. The legal issues are wide-ranging, involving search and seizure, due process, illegal interrogation, denial of counsel, and evidentiary issues. These legal issues intersect in a DUI case with scientific areas of expertise, such as anatomy, biology, chemistry, physiology, and toxicology, as well as pseudo-scientific areas such as field sobriety testing. DUI defense counsel must also have a working understanding of the operation of breath test equipment, hospital testing equipment, and instruments utilized by forensic laboratories in the process of testing for intoxicants.

  "If the police officer asks you to perform the field sobriety tests, refuse to participate in this roadside sham. You not only have no obligation to perform field sobriety tests, your refusal to perform these so-called tests is inadmissible against you in courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Furthermore, there is no penalty imposed upon you for refusing to attempt these discredited 'tests.' The 'tests' are most difficult to pass, especially since you are required to perform them under the watchful eye of the officer with the power to arrest you. In many cases, the officer has already made up his mind to arrest you. He wants you to attempt these 'tests” so that he can inform the jury how badly you failed them. And no matter how well you may believe that you performed on these 'tests,' the officer will likely testify that you failed the 'tests' miserably. Why help the officer build his case against you? The police refer to these exercises as 'tests' to give them an aura of scientific validity. These exercises are more the product of imagination rather than science."
