J-accuse at the Juducial Committee Meeting

The Oklahoma House of Representatives Judicial Committee held a hearing yesterday at the Oklahoma State Capitol which featured speakers Richard Cornforth and Bill Bauer. The introduction was by Carl Weston of Tulsa.

Richard Cornforth presented the need for Judicial Accountability and Integrity Legislation and what changes need to be made in Oklahoma Law.

Bill Bauer presented testimony about the more than 184 known appelate court cases of prosecutorial misconduct recorded in Oklahoma History.

The opening statement was by State Rep. Tad Jones.

Judicial committee members in attendance were House Judicial Committee Chairman Opio Toure, Vice Chair Rep. Frank Davis and Rep. Jari Askins. The other nine Judicial committee members were not in attendance.

Yes, it was a great seed planting day at the Oklahoma State Capitol...........

It did take some time and some convincing to Representative Tad Jones as a acting on going legislature to get him to put us on the list to be heard. Although he got personal with the remark that he made by his wife being a lawyer, he shouldn`t have brought that up because his wife had nothing to do with why we were there. This goes to show how some of the brains work that we vote into office and we can learn by this experience and improve on it............

Yes, Richard did another great job educating the brains in the marble building. Believe me I was watching what was going on in the back ground in the other room while Richard was speaking and the two bar brain idiots were acting like clowns for distraction.

Yes, we did have some ears and their were some others there that was wondering if there was going to be a new law or bill proposed.

Although things didn`t pan out like we might wanted them to because most brains in our legislature haven`t experienced being riped off in the court system by their designing.

On another note, I was comfronted by two people that I did not know asking if we needed a lobbyist to help work any legislation that we were proposing. The next step in my opinion is to get the draft of the Judicial Accountability Amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution typed up into bill form to be presented this next legislative session coming up next year to get into committee and hopefully on the House Floor for a vote. I`m not sure now if Rep. Jones is willing to continue with this process but I will keep working him and other Representatives that are already in office. As some might know, I will be running again next year for State Office and their will be no question if I`m voted in getting legislation on the floor for a vote to hold these bar brains accountable.............

I will be making follow up contacts next week with the members of the panel that were there and that were not and I encourage you to do the same............

As I`ve said many times that this movement is controversial and we have to keep an open mindedness and think out side the box. The bar does not want us to succeed in what we have been trying to do to change the system and they are doing everything they can to fight back. We have to think of some positive unusual ways to work the system since we don`t have the funding as the bar does.............

The roots are growing........................
