IN THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA
Amos King
Case No. CRC 77-01696
vs.
77-02173
State Of Florida
CFANO
Division I
PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF
On January 21, 1997 Petitioner filed in the trial court of the Sixth Judicial
Circuit a "Motion For Post Conviction/ Habeaus Relief" which the trial
court treated as a successive 3.850 motion.
On April 15, 1997 Circuit Judge Brandt C. Downey III dismissed the 3.850
motion pending clarification of counsel. See the Florida Bar Inquiry/Complaint
Form herewith as an exhibit.
The relief sought from this court is to get an attorney(s) appointed, the
motion refiled and ruled on.
Petitioner asks Justices Overton, Wells, Harding and Shaw remove themselves
from this matter for bias. One of the issues in the 3.850 deals with
a communication between trial judge John S Andrews and then Chief Justice
B F Overton in 1978 that tells how Judge Andrews entered into secret deals
with the prosecution for the testimonies of inmate witnesses and that these
judges along with them Chief Circuit Judge Patterson knew Petitioner was
owed a new trial before the completion of his trial & direct appeal
& has covered it up all these years. Petitioner filed a
complaint with the JQC whose director Brooke S Kennerly wrote Petitioner
the matter should be dealt with in the courts.
The disqaulification of the other justices for their bias in denying Petitioners
Habeus March 25, 1997 thereby condoning perjury, fraud, denial of due process,
equal protection, & above all not postponing their judgements til the
above mentioned motion came up from the trial court (as Petitioner had
requested) with the explanation for its late filing which is that all of
Petitioners' appelate attorneys which now number about twenty (20) over
nearly as many years lied to Petitioner about the contents of the trial
record claiming they couldn't raise issues not therein. Petitioner
can document ten (10) years of vigorously trying to obtain his trial records
& a New York Church actually paid an attorney of Petitioners'
in 1987 for a record that he never delivered nor refunded the money.
These justices are willing to send Petitioner to his death after a trial
according less process than a DUI or misdemeanor trial.
Petitioners' attorneys over the years have told him in their own ways they
weren't free to litigate for him a new trial and put the truth in their
work because either their bosses or forces beyond them wouldn't let them.
Larry Spalding who was the Director of CCR for years and Petitioners' attorney
for years told his policy to the Gainesville Sun, Friday July 5th, 1996.
"Most of those cases were very poorly tried at the trial level," Spalding
says, "The question is how do you unravel it...it is so screwed up.
If you sign a (death) warrant defense attorneys may come up with something
that gives the guy a new trial. If he gets a new trial at this stage,
he may walk because it has been so long. So you just kind of pretend
it is not there."
Such comments from Spalding while director of CCR set the two death rows
in mutiny against him. It was also clear to all his personnel were
restricted in conjunction with his statements. Because Petitioner
litigated with others against Spalding & his unethical behavior his
lawyers and current CCRCs' personnel are hostile to Petitioner and won't
answer his mail. This blacklisting is pretty widespread & Petitioner
fear infect some of the justices on this court as well. Petitioner
was one of several who communicated with the Honorable Lawton Chiles about
the Spalding matter that was part and parcel of the mentioned mutiny that
led to Spalding's dismissal. Mr Michael Minerva, the former director
of CCR with essentially the same staff, lefy, by Spalding declared in federal
court that he and his staff had an irreconcialable difference and conflict
with Petitioner and couldn't represent him.
Attorneys at the former VLRC promised then failed to act on Petitioners'
behalf, admittiing they were under pressure not to.
One can just glance at the record of those death sentenced prisoners past
and present who've had successive motions and petitions filed for them
by CCR, VLRC, the CCRCs, and by many of Petioners' past attorneys to see
that gross discrimination has gone on, is going on. From what Petitioner
can discern from reading the opinions and talking to fellow prisoners the
overwhelming majority of them are inferior to Petioners'.
Petitioners' now proposed 3.850 alleges two instances of newly discoverred
evidence, fraudulent physical evidence, and perjury by two key witnesses
including by the prison counsellor ( who's committed over 100 acts of same
since).
Petitioner allegedly attempted to murder and much more in a case thats
largely of a circumstantial nature. Petitioners motion also alleges
additional instances of judicial bias among a host of other prima facie
issues deliberately covered up or ignored in the past. Petitioners'
former appeals have all been frauds.
Just last month Petitioner recieved another part of his trial record deliberately
kept from him nearly two decades. As a result Petitioner has had
a falling out with numerous attorneys due to his unique treatment including
once having the Honorable Claire Luten dismiss attorney Baya Harrison for
deceit.
One of the attorneys at VLRC told Petitioner that Justice Overton was a
former circuit judge in Pinellas County & Petitioner would meet with
hostility there as did happen.
Therefore Petitioner asks this court appoint or order an attorney(s) be
appointed to this case who'll represent this matter unbiasedly in the trial
court & refile Petitioners' motion & get a ruling on it.
And any other relief this court deems appropriate.
