Request for help!

Jason’s latest appeal was rejected from the court of original jurisdiction.  The appeal included an example of judicial misbehavior by a judge of that court named Judge Julie Field.  The judge assigned to Jason’s case a number of years ago, after Judge Gilmore recused himself, was Judge Dave Williams.  When Jason’s appeal came into the court it was given not to the assigned J. Williams but to J. Field and she rejected it.  Because she was accused of bias in Jason’s appeal she ethically should not have been given the appeal to review and deny.  This is an obvious ethical violation.

Jason’s complaints to the CO Commission on Judicial Discipline have not addressed the ethical violation.  A cover up attempt was “Oh, we decided to change your assigned judge three weeks ago and not inform you.”  This does not address the fact that J. Field, who was complained about in Jason’s appeal, did not have the right to review and reject his appeal.

This is “par for the course” in how his appeals have been treated.  Avoidance!

Jason is asking for help from an organization called Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System which is in Denver.  He is hoping you will write a couple of lines in support of him.  If you know Jason then you could say something about his non-violent character and how he would have to been seriously provoked to do anyone harm.

If you don’t know Jason you could say something about how the CO Commission on Judicial Discipline is compounding the ethical violation by not addressing the ethical violation.  The difference in sentencing between second degree murder, which he was coerced into confessing, and crime of passion (provocation) murder is 15-20 years.  Here is the link to write a couple of lines. http://iaals.du.edu/about-the-institute/contact-us/
