When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

How this Mess started

This is how my predicament in Chesapeake JDR got started.

On December2nd of 1995, it started at a visitation with my son. My mother and I travel to Chesapeake to see my four months old son. On this visits things didn’t go as plan, Ten minutes in the visitation I was arrested on two charges, which was the same charge but the charge was filed by Christine and her mother Edna.

This upset my mother a lot; it took about four for me to be process at the City jail and release on a PR bond since I had no criminal background at the time. On the way home my Mother was driving since she claimed that she didn’t like my driving. I guess that was because my mother was a formal school bus driver and more careful then I was. She had never been stop for any traffic violation in her life, till that nite.

We had to drive through Emporia, which if you have been through there or live nearby knows it a speed trap. Yes even if you are going three miles over they will pull you. To say the least my mother wasn’t herself that nite. She snapped at the officer and told him of her day. I guess after running her license and saw it was clear decided not to give her a ticket just a warning.

This is how the sorry sad mess started.

The only thing that happen that day that was ok, was seeing my son and those photographs I took that day of him and my mother.
