Statement

This is the continuing behavior of the prosecutor since inception of the case, previous prosecutor was also partaking in same type, which included threats, intimidation, as well as not providing documents necessary to properly defend case in the guise that the documents aren’t available. This also constitutes conflict of interest since he and others involved including detectives have personal relationships with the detectives at the time of investigation which also contributed to improper investigation procedures and incomplete evidence as well as not even attempting to obtain any exculpatory evidence that could show the accused’s innocence. I have attached one of the emails I have in my possession but have been unable to obtain further documents to prove allegations stated above.
