Dawn, I have read the e-mails regarding your legal issue.  From my situation I can tell you that the person&#8217;s legal ability is sub-par.  However, I can&#8217;t publicly disclose what I know.  If your attorney wants information regarding my experience I will send a letter via sealed legal mail.  Simply provide your lawyer&#8217;s information and information as to specific details being sought.  I will gladly help if I can.</ p><br />
As to my legal situation, there isn&#8217;t much which I can disclose since my last posting.  I will tell everyone that on 10/25/11 the Honorable Douglas Rayes denied my request to have the state produce “Brady” material withheld during my trial.  His determination is going to be presented to a higher court for review. </ p><br />
I can say that I have been in contact with the Justice Department in Washington D.C. regarding the witness tampering that happened in my trial.  Also, I was contacted by a Michigan county attorney and I subsequently returned evidence to support the witness tampering.  But at this time I cannot disclose anything else.</font></p>

By:  Carl D. Davis<br />
November 17, 2011
<p />
</font></div>
<p><font face=serif size=4 color=navy><br />
 On November 8, 2011, I sat and watched as the Republican front-runner for President of the United States, Herman Cain, categorically deny multiple sexual harassment allegations.  I saw a man full of pain, anger and frustration trying to not only save his political career but also trying to save his reputation, his life and the life style he has grown so accustomed to.</p>
<p />
All I could do was sadly shake my head because I knew it was already too late.  Once the sex-based allegations were made his nightmare had just began.  And before it is over with, and it is never completely over with, he will know a new level of anguish, frustration and pain.  Mr. Cain is now a marked man for life.  Sadly, I watched a man trying to defend the undefendable.</p>
<p />
For several years now, from the confinement of an Arizona prison, I have been speaking out against the rash of unsubstantiated allegations and the destruction which always accompanies them.  Regrettably, I now have this message for Mr. Cain.<br /></font><br />
<font face=serif size=4 color=firebrick>Mr. Cain,
<p />
From inside these prison walls I sadly bid you welcome to our world.  A world in which you are truly guilty until you can prove your innocence.  A world in which unsubstantiated allegations, no matter how old, can destroy the mightiest of men.  You are now a full-fledged participant in the sex offender witch hunt.  You are now a member of the “Oh, it could never happen to me club!”
<p />
Tragic isn&#8217;t it?  In the court of public opinion, which is being presided over and controlled by the major media conglomerates, you have already been convicted.  Guilty, based on nothing but unprovable, unsubstantiated allegations.  No evidence, no proof, not even a trial and Mr. Cain, pray you never have one!  Because if you were to go to trial the “Guilty &#8217;til proven innocent” doctrine will destroy you along with everyone and everything you cherish.  The chances of winning in an actual court of law are very slim once you have been branded and convicted of sex based allegations in the court of public opinion.
<p />
Tragically, you have gained membership in one of the most prolific witch hunts of our time.  As its newest member and victim, you are about to learn the harsh reality of what improvable and unsubstantiated allegations can do.  The harshest reality of all this may be the fact that this label, this stigma, will now follow you and your family for the rest of your lives.
<p />
With my deepest regret, I sorrowfully welcome you to the witch hunt.  Our world.  Our nightmare.  Your struggle has just begun.<br />
<br /></font><font face=serif size=4 color=navy><br />
                                                                                    From the Inside,<br />
                                                                                    C.D. Davis  66882</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face=serif size=5 color=navy><b>FROM THE INSIDE</b><br />
By:  Carl D. Davis<br />
September 26, 2011
<p />
</font><br />
<font face=serif size=4 color=navy><br />
In Maricopa County, Arizona, the former county attorney Andrew Thomas is being investigated for the vindictive and improper actions he and other prosecutors who worked for him used to intimidate and harass other county officials who disagreed or opposed his positions, practices or policies.  Of course, these are people of substantial financial and political affluence.<br />
<br />The depth and extent of the misconduct and abuses employed by Andrew Thomas and his staffers are being laid out for all the public to see.  Ironically, these allegations being leveled at Andrew Thomas and his staff, are the same allegations we the “have nots” have been alleging all throughout Andrew Thomas&#8217; reign of terror as Maricopa County Attorney.  So many of us who are currently in prison, falsely accused and unjustly convicted, victims of the Andrew Thomas regime, have time and time again tried to make the public aware of all the misconduct and injustices which were so commonplace in the Andrew Thomas regime.  A regime not predicated to justice under the “tough on crime” standard, but instead predicated on winning for the sake of career and political ambition and advancement.  Lives destroyed, families shattered and torn apart.  Well intended laws manipulated and broken. All for the sake of winning.  Justice was just an afterthought.  A word to be used to disguise the abuse of power which ran rampant throughout the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s office during Andrew Thomas&#8217; reign of terror.  And we, the “have nots” were easy prey for this regime because they knew no one would care.  And they have been proven right.  At least up to this point.<br />
<br />The question I now ask is this. Once Andrew Thomas is disbarred, and he will be disbarred, will the F.B.I. And the Department of Justice take a seriously hard look at all the convictions obtained during Andrew Thomas&#8217; tenure as Maricopa County Attorney?<br />
<br />Although we are all suppose to have a constitutional guaranteed right to due process and equal protection of the law, still it took the unlawful and improper actions against a few people of political and financial affluence to bring attention to the improper and unscrupulous practices and misconducts which have become commonplace in the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s Office and the Maricopa County criminal judicial system.<br />
<br />So now, how long is it going to take before we, the “have nots”, are granted our right to due process and our right to equal protection of the law?  We that have been victimized by the Andrew Thomas regime.<br />
<br />This I ask from the inside of these prison walls.</p>

In between doing all the legal work on my case, crusading against the injustices of the S.O. witch hunt, and trying to survive the chaos of prison existence (there is no life here) I have managed to have collections of my poetry and short stories published via e-book.  My poetry is the reflection of a very personal side of me.  My short stories very much reflect the not so serious side of me.<br />

A.S.P.C. Tucson Winchester<br />
P.O. Box 24407<br />
Tucson, Arizona  85734
<p />
</font></div>
<p><font face=serif size=4 color=navy><br />
It amazes me just how upset some in our society are because the Casey Anthony jury got it right.  Those of us who are still sitting in prison, because the system got it wrong, are shocked the judge and jury actually got it right.  The reality is, the prosecution did not present one shred of viable evidence to directly link Casey to her daughter&#8217;s alleged murder.<br />
For those of us, who have been through a trial fighting for our lives, only to find the deck stacked against us as we slam head on into a perverted and corrupt justice, this verdict is one of those “yes” moments for us.  As I sit here in prison, there is not a day, an hour, or a minute that goes by in which I don&#8217;t think about, “Innocent until proven guilty and proof beyond a reasonable doubt”.  As my earlier “From The Inside” postings have started, I have been existing in an Arizona prison since 2006.  Convicted without any kind of evidence or proof ever being presented.  For more than five years now I have been fighting to get my conviction overturned.  But so far not one court in Arizona is willing to take jurisdiction or the responsibility and admit the “innocent until proven guilty” doctrine was abandoned and the “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” standard was never met.<br />
In the Casey Anthony trial the constitutional ideal of innocent until proven guilty was upheld and the reasonable doubt clause of the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was adhered to.<br />
Regardless of what you or I may personally feel or think about Casey&#8217;s guilt or innocence the simple fact of the matter is the prosecution, which has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, could not prove it.  As an innocent man, who has been unconstitutionally convicted and imprisoned, I applaud the judge and jury in Casey&#8217;s trial.  As I sit here writing from the confines of an Arizona State Prison all I can say is “Yes!  They got it right!  They actually got it right”!</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face=serif size=4 color=navy><br />
  I have been asked why I am pursuing federal charges rather than state charges regarding the witness tampering in my Arizona case.  Actually, I have been in contact with both state and federal authorities.  The reason I could pursue federal involvement is, the crime which I have somewhat disclosed on this site occurred across state boundaries.  I wish I could disclose more information but I can&#8217;t just yet.  I only want to disclose enough to establish that there can be great injustice in the criminal prosecution of false allegations of sexual abuse.  Also, I do not disclose anything before the proper authorities are informed.  With that said, I will disclose that the Michigan authorities have also been notified of this criminal activity.  The state of Michigan incurred a financial cost due to this criminal activity.  But let me get back to the original issue.</p>
<p />
            Under Arizona law, the crime of witness tampering and intimidation is a Class 5 felony.  That is punishable by a term of imprisonment up to one and one-half years.  However, if charged under the federal offense of 18 U.S.C. 1512 (b), the punishment is significantly higher.  That law states:   “(b) Whoever knowingly uses intimidation or physical force&#8230;with intent to:  (1) influence, delay, or prevent the testimony of any person in an official legal proceeding&#8230;shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years or both.”  So, as you can see, federally the consequence is actually much worse.  And to make it even more harsh for the individuals who do such a crime, they could be charged both in state court and in federal court.  So I don&#8217;t think I would rest easily if I were such a person.  At any given time it could be embarrassing to be handcuffed while at work or at home.</p>
<p />
            Thanks for everyone&#8217;s attention to my Blog.  I appreciate the recent influx of visitors.  This is both supporters and those who wish I would simply give up.  Being falsely accused, unjustly and improperly convicted, to simply expect me to be quiet, just isn&#8217;t going to happen.  I can&#8217;t wait until the whole truth can be disclosed. </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face=serif size=4 color=navy><br />
When anyone reads my blog it becomes obvious that, in my opinion, justice is not very fair in Arizona.  Now, I am openly putting justice in Arizona, to another test.</p>
<p />
After trial in Arizona I learned that there was witness tampering and influencing which took place during my trial.  Only now, in May, did I acquire the evidence to support that these crimes did occur.  Not only did a state crime occur, but a federal crime as well.  From this evidence, I have informed both federal authorities as well as state authorities to inquire if formal charges can be brought against this person.</p>
<p />
On May 2nd, 2011, I wrote an introductory letter to the United States District Attorney&#8217;s Office.  In part I stated:  “While I could pursue state law violations&#8217;, this is not my preference.  I am concerned that the state agency which prosecuted me, the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s Office, will not have the incentive to pursue evidence capable of overturning their own conviction.”</p>
<p />
Then, on May 5th, 2011, I also wrote an introductory letter to the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s Office which states in part:  “I have been provided evidence which supports influencing a witness in violation of A.R.S. 13-2802 and tampering with a witness in violation of A.R.S. 13-2804 which had a direct effect in my conviction for the above cause number [CR-2005-011629-001 DT].  Arizona has jurisdiction over this issue pursuant to A.R.S. 13-108.  Likewise, the federal attorney&#8217;s office would also have jurisdiction.  My problem is compounded for various reasons.  First, I do not know if anyone from the M.C.A.O. knew this tampering and influencing occurred or directed it to occur.  Second, I realize I could be perceived as being vindictive.  Also, I do have concerns your office will not aggressively pursue and prosecute the individual.  As a result of these concerns, I have chosen to supply the Federal Attorney&#8217;s Office this information prior to disclosure to your office.  On April 4th, 2011, the Phoenix Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was also informed by the victim of the intimidation.”</p>
<p />
Also, for those who have followed my legal updates, this is not the instance in which I said earlier that my conviction would be overturned.  The reason I am choosing to post this issue so openly, I want the world to know that state and federal crimes occurred within the time period of my Arizona case affecting my trial.  I have the supporting evidence to prove the criminal activity, so I am interested to see if Maricopa County will investigate.  If they do not, it will be additional supportive evidence of injustice in Arizona.</font></p>

I want to tell everyone things are moving forward.  Jim, the information you have acquired has been forwarded.  I have chosen to pursue utilizing the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office first.  You will know what I have disclosed before this message gets posted.  There will be a ripple effect.  However, after much consideration I felt it was best.  In the event of more attacks on the baby, I think it will protect baby piggie&#8217;s toes.  If there is anything I have learned, detailed history is a good friend.  The lawyer has sent me all the information I needed.  Now on to the hard part, responding without disclosing.</p>
<p />
            It was a surprise to hear from you.  While your message was not posted for your protection, I did get the basics of what you said.  I can only hope things get better for you.  Most of the history I already knew.  Moving there I found ironic.  If she opened the phone book she may learn I have cousins nearby.  They don&#8217;t have the same last name as me.  My grandma&#8217;s family was from there.</p>
<p />
            As for yourself, it seems to me you need help.  It saddens me to hear what you are doing to yourself.  More honestly, it tears my heart apart.  If you realize that you need help, why not get it? You need to get out of the situation you are in.  Once you figure out who is part of your problem, only then can things get better for you.  Why can&#8217;t you realize how she destroys those around her when things don&#8217;t go her way?  Consider several of the males in her life.  Donald, Ryan, Bobby or me.  Don&#8217;t you notice any pattern?  If I was “him” I would reconsider being married.  How then do you possibly view it as a good thing for her to care for any child?  As for wanting to help, simply stand up for what is the truth.  But there may be consequences.  I am sure you will now be questioned as to why you wrote to me.  Should you choose to do so again, that is up to you.</p>
<p />
            As a side note, I have a cell mate who wrote a book.  I have repeatedly been the recipient of the suggestion that I should write a book (you know who you are my mouse).  Anyhow, I have watched this book go from handwritten pages to being available as an e-book on multiple popular web sites.  It was quite an impressive process for an inmate.  The book is entitled “The Love of the Truth, Sound of the Last Trump”.  He did the cover art and several internal illustrations.  The ASIN number is B004TZ08AY.  Check it out if you are into reading books purchased on-line.</p>

            Keep connected for more forthcoming information.  Things are going to get interesting for some.</font></p>

  Well everyone I guess it is time for an update.  On February 17th, the Arizona Supreme Court declined to review my case.  That means I will begin my Rule 32 next.  I am still quite confident I will be getting a new trial.  Unfortunately, not on the issues raised in my direct appeal.  However, for the next trial I do know things that I will do differently.</p>
<p />
            I also want to address Jesse.  I see that you have revisited this site.  As always, I am happy to hear from you.  I am very happy that you are doing well.  I would like to know what you have chosen for a career.  You are more than welcome to write me directly, or to post here.  I want you to know I only wish you the best in life.  That is the same for Jasmin and your adopted siblings.</p>
<p />
            Once my Rule 32 is filed, I will share with everyone why I believe the case will be overturned.  However, at this time it isn&#8217;t filed.<br />

Well I want to give everyone an update. but first I need to answer two questions.  Those questions to me were:  Why did  I represent myself in Arizona and how many attorneys did I have and why did they step away?  I will answer the second one first.  That will help people understand the reason I represented myself.</p>
<p />
When I first got to Arizona I was appointed a public defender named Paul Klapper.  During our first face to face meeting, I informed Mr, Klapper that DNA and medical testing had been done on the girls and there was no medical evidence to support these allegations.  Mr. Klapper proceeded to tell me that I was wrong.  Remember I had already been through two trials so I knew the evidence in my own case.  Shortly thereafter, Mr Klapper was in an accident and had to take an extended leave from the public defenders office.  After writing several letters and receiving no response I called the public defenders office.  That&#8217;s when I was informed Mr. Klapper was not currently working and that my case had mistakenly never been reassigned to another attorney.</p>
<p />
After that telephone call I was reassigned to an attorney named Barbara Hull, also of the public defenders office.  Three months later she quit the public defenders office going back into private practice.  I was then assigned to Attorney Vonda Wilkins.  After meeting with this newest attorney, she informed me that she had never done a criminal sexual conduct trial.  I refused to entrust my case to that type of experience.  At that point I had been represented by the public defenders office for one year and not a single motion to move my case forward had been filed.  The only motions being filed by these attorneys were continuances. That is when I chose to represent myself.</p>
<p />
I actually do not regret representing myself.  Had I not represented myself, I would not have preserved so many issues for appeal.  When I began self representation I did not just sit back and wait.  I was very proactive.  I also did not do self representation as a &#8220;stall tactic&#8221; like so many inmates do.  I pushed to move my trial forward and objected to state requested continuances.  So Sharon, I hope that answer your questions.</p>
<p />
Now for an update on my proceedings.  I am currently waiting on the Arizona Supreme Court to determine if it will accept review of my case from the Arizona Court of Appeals.  It could be a couple more months before I even know if the court intends to accept review of the issues raised in my direct appeal.</p>
<p />
If the court declines to accept review of my case, I will need to pursue what is called a &#8220;Rule 32&#8243; petition for Post Conviction Relief.  At that point I present several remaining issues back to the trial court level and work back up the court levels again.</p>
<p />
Very recently I made a discovery that I suspect will be the reason my case is overturned.  However, at this time I cannot disclose what I know.  What I will say is that I am VERY confident I will get a new trial.</p>
<p />
Thank you Sharon for your questions.  If you have any other questions, or need more detail, please let me know. </p>
