Defendant, Craig D. Buckley, in assertion of his rights pursuant to U.S. Const., Amend. VI, XIV; Colo. Const., Art. II, Sec. 16, 25, respectfully requests that this Court reschedule the Probation Revocation hearing, originally scheduled for 1 hour on September 25, 2014, to a 4 hour hearing on a date to be determined by this Court. It is the Defendants assertion that, in light of new evidence obtained as a result of his conviction in Boulder County District Court case #13CR114, that 1 hour is insufficient time to defend against the new charges of violation of probation. In support thereof, the Defendant asserts as follows:
1. This matter comes before the Court regarding Probation Revocation in the matter of Weld County Court case #11M578, People v. Buckley.
2. On September 20, 2012, the Defendant was convicted of one count of (M3) Harassment of his former employers, for having demanded by email that they remove a lien from his home. At issue, in addition to all matters plead in the Defendants Rule 35(c) Motion filed with this Court on December 3, 2012, are three facts: (a) that on April 17, 2011 Colorado Attorney General J ohn Suthers filed a Motion with this Court to quash the subpoena of Defendants witness J ames F. Hartmann. The Motion was plead, on April 19, 2012 by assistant Attorney General Matthew D. Grove. The record of this Court shows that the Defendant was not allowed by this Court to speak, nor in any way respond to the Attorney Generals pleading of this Motion. The record of this Court indicates that J udge Michele Meyer quashed the subpoena, stating that any relevant testimony by J ames Hartmann was available to the Defendant as part of the record of the Court in the underlying civil case, Weld #09CV991, Buckley v. Dream Stone, Inc. et. al. This is now proven false. (b) That, 2 in violation of the Defendants rights under C.R.S. 16-11-102, that the Pre-sentencing report was both falsified, and concealed from the Defendant until mere minutes before the sentencing hearing. Attached to the pre-sentence report was an affidavit in support of arrest warrant sworn by the arresting officer, signed by no judge, and concealed from the Defendant for 607 days; until the morning of sentencing. (c) That the Defendant had attempted to sue the victims for wages due upon termination of employment, and the prosecution had concealed the fact that the victims had committed (F4) Perjury in the First Degree, and (F4) Attempt to Influence a Public Servant, having falsely sworn to both the Weld County District Court, and the Colorado Division of Labor that neither had jurisdiction over the Defendants accrued wage claim, because the matter was before the other, and falsely swearing to government agencies that the Defendant was not entitled to an award of accrued wages, because he had not worked for the victims for a full year.
3. On J une 17, 2010 J udge J ames Hartmann had stripped the Defendant (civil Plaintiff) of all evidence relevant to the Defendants (civil Plaintiffs) claim for accrued wages, in violation of C.R.S. 8-4-110(2) of the Colorado Wage Act. Previously, as will be proven before this Court, J ames Hartmann had issued an order forcing the Defendant (civil Plaintiff) to pay the victims (civil Defendants) fees for their defense of a Motion for consolidation for which no fees were awarded. The Defendant had refused to submit to the jurisdiction of a Court which would not comply with the law, and the Defendants (civil Plaintiffs) case was dismissed, an award of attorneys fees was granted the victims civil Defendants, and a lien was filed against the Defendants home.
4. Three years later, the victims had sought to attack the Defendants (civil Plaintiffs) wages and property through interrogatories. The Defendant had refused to comply with the alleged void Orders of the Weld County District Court. On J uly 21, 2013, the Weld County District Court initiated a raid on the Defendants home, in support of an alleged void civil judgment in the Weld County District Court case #09CV991.
5. Ten days later, on J uly 31, 2013, the Defendants home was again raided by police, this time charging him with one count of (F4) retaliation Against a J udge.
6. On April 22, 2014, the Defendant was convicted on one count of (F4) retaliation Against a J udge in Boulder County District Court; J udge Andrew Hartmann presiding.
7. On April 21, 2014 Weld County District Court Chief J udge J ames F. Hartmann, under direct examination by Boulder County DDA Catrina Weigel, testified against the Defendant. J udge J ames Hartmann is alleged to have committed (F4) Perjury in the First Degree to effect the conviction of the Defendant in this second criminal matter. Germane to this matter, an to be proven by defendants witness Catrina Weigel, is Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnetts continued obstruction of justice in concealment of said perjured testimony.
8. The record of the Boulder Court indicates that Boulder County District Court Case #13CR114, People v. Buckley prosecutor Catrina Weigel did knowingly and with malice conceal evidence from the trier of fact, and suborn felony perjury from Peoples witness J ames F. Hartmann. The testimony elicited from Peoples witness J ames Hartmann does not appear on the record of any Court, and but for Colorado Attorney General J ohn Suthers obstruction of J ustice before this Court on September 17, 2012, Assistant Attorney General Matthew D. Groves false swearing before this Court on September 19, 2012, and J udge Michele Meyers refusal to allow the Defendant opportunity to argue in opposition to J ames Hartmanns Motion, it is the Defendants assertion that he would have elicited J ames F. Hartmanns perjured testimony two years ago, and there would be 3 no lien on the Defendants home, no garnishment of wages, and no compounding of criminal charges against the Defendant.
9. Boulder County DDA Catrina Weigel has been subpoenaed to appear before this Court to testify as follows: (a) the charging instrument in this case was falsified, (b) the pre-sentence report was falsified, (c) the Prosecution in this case, in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), concealed evidence, and (d) Colorado Attorney General J ohn Suthers has Obstructed J ustice through fraudulent concealment of a material witness.
10. Further, the Defendant will prove, based on the record of this Court (a) that the sentence is illegal, (b) the underlying conviction in this case was obtained by fraud, (c) but for deprivation of the Defendants rights by Colorado Attorney General J ohn Suthers, and Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, no such second crime of (F4) Retaliation would ever have occurred.
11. In Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), Due Process requires that a prosecutor disclose material, exculpatory evidence that would either prove the defendants innocence, mitigate the level of culpability, or otherwise favorably impact the defendants case. The Defendant has demanded that the Prosecution produce specific exculpatory evidence prior to the scheduled September 25, 2014 hearing, and Weld County Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wrenn has flatly denied those requests.
12. It is the Defendants continued assertion that this Court has no jurisdiction, pursuant to C.R.Crim.P. Rule 35(a), to enforce a sentence (nor revoke probation) obtained through a falsified and concealed pre-sentence report, nor to uphold a conviction, pursuant to C.R.Crim.P. Rule 35(c), obtained through a falsified and concealed charging instrument, obstruction of mitigating witness testimony, concealment of mitigating evidence, and prosecutorial and third party attorney misconduct. The Defendant will require more than 1 hour to defend his rights.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant respectfully prays this Court, reschedule this matter for a 4 hour hearing. It is the Defendants assertion that due to the complexity of this matter and the new evidence obtained in Boulder County, #13CR114, coupled with the advisement of rights, plea, Prosecutions case, Defendants pleadings and exhibits, testimony to be elicited from the Defendants witness, and ruling, that a 1 hour hearing is vastly insufficient to protect the Defendants rights, and does not serve justice.
FURTHER, the Defendant respectfully requests that said hearing be rescheduled until such a time as the Prosecution decides to comply with Brady v. Maryland.
Respectfully submitted this 19 th day of September, 2014.
