HELP PLEASE!


A free man must be able to endure it when his fellow men act and live otherwise than he considers proper. He must free himself from the habit, just as soon as something does not please him, of calling for the police.

Excerpt from one of his hearings:


CORRECT. I THINK THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THE DRUG USAGE, THE SEED PROGRAM ITSELF, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO THE DEFENSE COUNSEL AT THE TIME OF THE INITIAL TRIAL AND RESENTENCING. WHAT HE DID HAVE FROM THE MOTHER THE MOTHER ULTIMATELY TESTIFIES, EVEN AT THE EVIDENTIARY HEARING, THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY DRUG USAGE. THE STATE DOES NOT DISPUTE THAT. WHAT SHE DID KNOW, I AM SORRY, FROM THE POINT OF THE SEED ON. SHE CLEARLY KNEW THAT HER SON HAD A PROBLEM. THAT IS WHY THE SON WAS TAKEN FROM HER. HE WAS NOT TAKEN UNBEKNOWNST OF HER, OUT OF HER NOME HOME, AND PLACED IN THE SEED PROGRAM AS A TEENAGER.

WHAT THE NATURE OF THE EVIDENCE DEVELOPED?

I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS DETAILED DEVELOPED. THE SISTER HAD NO INDICATION OF HIS DRUG USAGE AND CERTAINLY THERE IS NO RECORD, CERTAINLY PRIOR TO SEED, OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS KNOWING ANYTHING OF THE FIRSTHAND BASIS, AS FAR AS PARTAKING OF DRUGS WITH THE DEFENDANT OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE WITH RESPECT TO THE DRUG ISSUE IS THAT, DURING THIS GUILT PHASE, IT WAS GOING FORWARD WITH THE THREE OTHER CODEFENDANTS THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH, THIS SO MANY OF THE DEPOSITIONS TAKING PLACE MUCH MULTIPLE ATTORNEYS. EACH -- PLACE WERE MULTIPLE ATTORNEYS, EACH ATTORNEY FOR EACH CODEFENDANT, AND ANYTHING THAT THE WITNESSES KNEW, AND THEY DEPOSED MANY OF THE ACQUAINTANCES OF THE DEFENDANT, HIMSELF, AND QUESTIONS WERE ASKED ABOUT THE DRUG USAGE AT THAT POINT, AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ANYWHERE IN THE RECORD, AND SPECIFICALLY, TOO, ROBIN FERDELLA WAS DEPOSED PRIOR TO THE GUILT PHASE WRKTS DEFENSE ATTORNEY PRESENT AS WELL AS THE OTHERS AND SHE WAS THE DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME, AND SHE KNEW OF NO OTHER TYPE OF DRUG USAGE OTHER THAN MARIJUANA, SO MR. O'LEARY'S BELIEF AT THE TIME AND, I WOULD SUBMIT, WHAT IS ACTUALLY TRUE TO THIS DATE, IS THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THAN AS YOU MENTIONED WHAT THE BOYS IN HIS GROUP WERE DOING, SMOKING SOME POT AND DRINKING SOME BEER.

Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.

Friends, one of our own is on death row for participaing in a murder. Part of his appeal was based on the damage the Seed did to him.  A further excerpt:


HE DECEMBER TESSFIED IN 1991 THAT -- HE TESTIFIED IN 1991 THAT IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO HIM TO OBTAIN MR. WALTON'S SCHOOL RECORDS. MR. WALTON DIDN'T MENTION ADDICTION TO HIM, SO HE DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HE DIDN'T BOTHER TALKING TO THE SISTER, KIMBERLY WALTON, WHO WAS IN THE SAME SEED PROGRAM WITH MR  MR. WALTON. IT WAS HER TESTIMONY THAT WAS PRESENTED AT THE EVIDENTIARY HEARING IN 1991 THAT EXPLAINED THE NATURE OF THIS EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM AND HOW DAMAGING IT WAS TO PEOPLE WHO WENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
Rulers who wish to subvert the public liberty may have found an established clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate it, needs them not.

a description of the crime from the web


Date of Offense:  06/18/82
Date of Sentence:  03/14/84

Circumstances of Offense:

Richard Cooper was convicted and sentenced to death for his part in three murders that occurred during the course of a robbery on 06/18/82.

Eight-year-old Chris Fridella contacted police in the early morning hours of 06/18/82, notifying them that his father and two of his father?s friends had been shot.  When authorities arrived at the scene, they found Steven Fridella, Bobby Martindale, and Gary Petersen dead, lying face down on the floor with their hands bound behind them.  The victim?s wallets had been rummaged through, and the house had been scoured in an apparent search for valuables.

Approximately six months later, Robin Fridella, Steven Fridella?s ex-wife, furnished police with information that pointed to Richard Cooper and his accomplices: Terry Van Royal, Jason Dirk Walton and Jeff McCoy.  During an interview, Cooper confessed to the murders and relayed the following information in his statement.  The four men had planned the robbery for over a week and, on the evening of 06/17/82, they went to the Fridella residence.  Jeff McCoy stayed in the car while the other three men entered the house.  Cooper, Royal, and Walton rounded up the adults in house, tied their hands and laid them down on the living room floor.  Eight-year-old Chris Fridella was ushered into the bathroom.  Walton searched the house while Cooper and Royal guarded the captives.  One of the captives was able to identify Walton, so, Walton pronounced that all three men must be shot.  Walton commanded Cooper and Royal to open fire on the captive men when his own gun misfired.  Upon leaving the house, Walton told Cooper that one of the men was still alive, at which time Cooper re-entered the house and shot Fridella again.

Either cocaine and marijuana are terribly dangerous substances, and breaking the law by consuming them is a major offense that should be severely punished, or these are minor, personal matters that do not really count in the big picture of a man's life. If the latter is the case, then the rationale for a bloody, costly and futile war against drugs simply disappears.

excerpt:

"evidence was also introduced which revealed that Walton had abused drugs as an adolescent and teenager, and had been enrolled in a radical therapy program which likely left him severly emotionally scarred, but which had not halted his continued abuse of illegal drugs."


Someone please say something..I think I remember this guy.





When Plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in a society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.
