RECIPE FOR DESTRUCTION, SUPREME INJUSTICE
by James P. Anderson

After being wrongfully convicted and sentenced to
California Death Row over 22 years ago (1979), the
California Supreme Court "DENIED" my "DIRECT APPEAL"
on May 14, 2001. (The decision for the Habeas Corpus
Petition is still pending; it was filed by
court-appointed attorney Alister McAlister). Documents
and records are readily available that show every
court appointed attorney representing me in court has
had difficulties with the California Bar Association
and has been "suspended from practicing law several
times," including an alcoholic (Keith H. Long) who had
seriously contemplated suicide "several times."

The Attorney currently appointed (Alister McAlister)
has proven himself to be "grossly incompetent," since
his appointment by the Supreme Court in 1994. I
actually wrote to the Supreme Court requesting that
the court "Relieve" both Alister McAlister and
California Appellate Project Attorney Aundre M. Herron
as my Death Penalty Attorneys, because "NEITHER" would
investigate relevant issues or obtain simple
documents, records, articles etc. directly related to
proving my innocence (most of these request could have
been accomplished by a simple phone call). The Supreme
Court failed to respond to my mailings.

An example of the Attorney's "Gross Incompetence" is
that I phoned McAlister on May 17, 2001 to inquire
about time restraints on filing motions etc. After
answering my questions McAlister stated, "Oh, by the
way, the Supreme Court reached a decision on your case
three days ago." When asked what the decision was
(twice), McAlister simply repeated his statement,
adding, "I'll send you a copy of the 73 page decision
if you want me to." To date (20 days later), I have
not
received a copy of the Court decision.

McAlister also waited until May 25, 2001 to file the
required "Appellate petition for Rehearing." The
court's time limit for filing this petition is 15
days; otherwise, any and all reversible issues that
the Court "DID NOT" rule or reach a decision on, can
"NEVER" be raised again in a court of law. However,
McAlister only raised (cited) 0NE issue in his
"Petition for Rehearing." Needless to say, there
were/are "MANY"
different issues that could've/should've been cited in
this petition. (But with my NOT having a copy of the
court's decision as a guideline or to refer to for
specifics, it's impossible for me to name the specific
issues or how many there are. It should be noted, too,
that McAlister filed my Direct Appeal, Habeas Corpus
and Appellate Petition for Rehearing without giving me
the opportunity to review and/or discuss the contents
prior to his submitting these petitions to the Court
(defendant or appellate has the "Legal Right" to
review all documents prior to filing).

Equally important, McAlister confirmed during a
December 2000 phone call that he had NEVER possessed
or listened to six cassette taped interviews of a
prosecution witness (Debbie Baros), whom the courts in
two different states had deemed to be "Extremely
Mentally ill and delusional." Also, the court
"REFUSED"
to allow "The Jury" to be informed of her mental state
(this includes her having given birth to four
different imaginary children, an imaginary car/truck
accident in
which one of the imaginary children was killed, an
unadjudicated 1978 homicide statement that she knew I
was a member of the Mafia and that I possessed
"Telepathic powers" etc., etc.  Ironically, while
Debbie Baros invented or dreamed the four children
described on the prosecution's cassette taped
interviews, she actually had given birth to two
children, but they were taken away from her by the
State of New Hampshire in 1987 or 1988 as a result of
her sexual abuse. Again, the jury was NOT informed of
these facts. (These documents are accessible through
the state of New Hampshire Child Protection Services.)

Each person reading this article should also be
informed that the victims of this crime were/are
white, and that there were all white jurors (which is
a Prima Fascie Wheeler Motion Mistrial). As well, I
have in my possession court transcripts and a letter
from a Municipal Court Judge that confirms and clearly
states that the Prosecutor of the 1979 Trial
intentionally lied to both the Trial Judge and Jury,
stating that the states alleged witness (the person
that actually committed the crimes) had been given a
polygraph test to eliminate the witness as having been
the perpetrator of the crimes, but the facts and
record prove UNDOUBTEDLY that NO P0LYGRAPH TEST was
ever given to this alleged witness. A "PART" of the
murder weapon was also found "IN THE JACKET POCKET OF
THE WITNESS." All facts considered, I believe that any
reasonably
sound-minded person would agree that my conviction and
sentence were politically motivated, and that "Racism"
was/is a major factor.

As a result of the ongoing medical neglect and
deliberate indifference (see facts page), I'm unable
to pursue legal research for both the legal and
medical matters, and would appreciate any competent
legal assistance in preparing petitions for the Court
which would remedy both the wrongful conviction and
medical matters.
