Section
1 provides a copy of Harmon Wilfred's Case History starting in 1988 in
the form of a letter dated July 8, 2000 presented to Mr. William B
Moffitt, President of the National Association of Criminal Defense
Lawyers (NACDL). This Case History was presented to the US Justice
Department in October, 2000. Mr. Moffitt, having accepted a $10,000 USD
retainer and accepted the case with the promise "he could never be
influenced off the case by any government threats or coercion” did
indeed mysteriously abandon the case. After 6 weeks of not returning
phone calls from Harmon or his Toronto attorney Alan Gold (Moffitt’s
colleague and friend), Harmon realized that Moffitt, like many before
him, had been “got to”. Ironically, on the NACDL website, it clearly states "You have fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Know your rights. Exercise them".
Included
is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s article from the website of the NACDL
stating, “The war on crime has become a war on the Bill of
Rights.” Also attached is a NACDL News Release entitled "Winning at Any
Cost: Prosecutorial Excess Distorting America's Justice System". The Gazette article quotes the 5 part series by Ken Armstrong and Maurice Possley called “Trial
and Error: How Prosecutors Sacrifice Justice to Win” which focuses on
prosecutorial misconduct depicting prosecutors giving false evidence and
violating constitutional rights to win cases, thus themselves
committing felonies and sending innocent people to prison and sometimes
death row. The NACDL News Release is a composite report of investigative
reporters across America documenting criminal activity on the part of
prosecutors on the local, state and federal level flagrantly violating
the very constitution and laws they are sworn to defend.
Index of PDF Documents in Case History Section 1:

Pg 2-10 National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers website articles and News Release
regarding Prosecutorial Excess
Questions:
1. Bill
Moffitt was initially very positive about the case and the children so
why did he abandon the case? Who influenced him / who got to him?
2. Did
DA John Suthers’ influence reach as far as silencing the President of
the NACDL or was the influence from higher up the political ladder?
3. How sick is the US
Justice System when even the NACDL posts on their website news releases
stating there are felonies being committed by prosecutorial attorneys
who give false evidence and send innocent people to prison? As
Harmon's case is definitely a case in point, why did Moffitt, as NACDL
President, walk away from the very principals the NACDL is sworn to
uphold?
