November, 2003
The press considers Daniel Wade Moore's civil suit against the City of Decatur a top
news story. The Daily gave it a headline. The Huntsville Times and Channel 48 gave it
prominent coverage. Local radio stations used it as a lead story during their breaks. At
the same time, there has been no press coverage at all of the State's "appeal" to the
Alabama Supreme Court. Sensational lies sell better than the facts and the law; in other
words, the press will never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
If, on the other hand, you are interested in the facts and the law regarding The State of
Alabama v Daniel Wade Moore, it is available here, in the form of the petition to the
Alabama Supreme Court. Presumably, the "currency" of the criminal justice system--of
the "legal" system, is fact and law. The State of Alabama v Daniel Wade Moore proves
this is not the case. Instead, the system is "owned and operated" exclusively by lawyers
and the profit motive. Sociopathy is hardly limited to violent criminals. And the more
hysterical and unethical these sociopathic lawyers are, the more they are rewarded.
Judge Glenn Thompson awarded Daniel Wade Moore a second trial because his friends
asked him to. It's as simple as that. Judge Thompson has never identified how the jury
was prejudiced in the first trial, which is what the law requires. He has grossly
misrepresented the facts, manipulated and ignored the very laws he is sworn to uphold,
and made a mockery of any concept of justice. He has failed miserably to perform the
two most important duties of a judge (according to the American Bar Association)--to be
efficient, and fair to all parties.
Simply put, you can be neither efficient nor fair when you give the defense lawyers free
rein. Daniel Wade Moore not only got a fair trial--he got a trial absurdly biased in his
favor. And unless the Alabama Supreme Court intervenes, that bias will continue with a
second trial. And yes, it's possible that the most heinous killer in local history, matched
to the crime by DNA and a mountain of other evidence, could walk free.
Money, power, and politics trump the facts and the law--at least they do in Judge Glenn
Thompson's courtroom.
Without Supreme Court intervention, Daniel Wade Moore will receive a second absurdly
biased trial, and a hundred more opportunities to escape responsibility for his crimes. In
simple terms, he will get a new trial because of a list of clumsy lies from Catherine
Halbrooks and Sherman Powell.
Halbrooks and Powell say Karen had a daily male visitor.
Halbrooks and Powell say they were on pornographic websites that promote sexual
liaisons--their "offer of proof" Judge Thompson used to allow in temporary Internet files
from our computer.
Halbrooks and Powell say the bloody pubic hair belongs to me, and that no DNA test
matched Daniel Wade Moore.
Halbrooks and Powell have overtly violated professional ethics.
These violations are serious.
Through the links above, you have access to more facts in this case than has been
published by the parasitic, hypocritical local press in five years.
See for yourself: in the world of sleazy lawyers, everything is normal.
The rape shield law is getting more coverage right now than at any time in history.
Why? Because Kobe Bryant is charged with rape, and his defense lawyers intend to
introduce the victim's past sexual history as evidence. The lawyers have already used
a preliminary hearing to slander the victim for the press, and to identify the victim by
name. They claim the rape shield law only applies to trial, not in public preliminary
hearings ( a bizarre notion in itself).
Here is the latest. Just keep in mind that Alabama's rape shield law is even stricter
than Colorado's. The only exception Alabama law allows is if the past sexual behavior
of the victim "INVOLVED THE PARTICIPATION OF THE ACCUSED." Is Judge
Glenn Thompson accusing my late wife of having sex with Daniel Wade Moore? Is he
ignorant of the law? Or is he just a profoundly biased judge?
