Current Status

Dear Inspector General,

Having exhausted all available options available to me, despite my having exhibited due diligence to obtain exculpatory data and documents pertaining to me, which would have assisted me in my establishing my innocence, my efforts continue to be thwarted and stonewalled leaving me with no option other than to plead for your assistance in;

Other than that, I have been left with no option but to involve the media, a step that would only make this quest of mine a dog and pony show, something that would be nothing but counterproductive in the long run. Recently there has been much in the news media pertaining to the elaborate planning, execution and coverup by the Saudi Government and its Crown Prince Muhammed Bin Salman in the killing of one of its citizens, Jamal Khashoggi. The egregiousness of that act is along the same lines as to what the United States Government did in my case, with perhaps the only difference being that unlike Jamal Khashoggi, I am still alive even though serving a life sentence in a United States Penitentiary.

Background:

My targeting by the ATF Agents and their confederates from other State and Federal LE agencies began shortly after I moved to London, Arkansas in late 1999 setting up my Medical practice in adjoining Russellville, Arkansas, when Special Agent of the ATF Warren Newman came under the mistaken belief that his niece, Ellie Harris had overdosed on medications that were obtained from me and that I was somehow responsible for his divorce.

Numerous "Sting Operations" were conducted by Agent Newman and his confederates in an attempt to make me violate the law over the ensuing years. All of them were aborted as they were unsuccessful in their goal of making me succumb to them.

On February 3, 2009 explosion in West Memphis, Arkansas led to Dr. Pierce being injured. A month later a box of 40mm HE grenades was "found and excavated" by two individuals, Mark Rinke and Ryan Kimbell. There was vehement testimony from them at my trial in that:

• a) the box that contained 98 40 mm HE grenades were completely buried in the ground
• b) that it took them 20 mins of excavation to get it out of the ground and
• c) that the pictures of the scene of the "finding" were taken by Officer Smith of the Arkansas Police few minutes later after the 911 call was placed.

The photographs were evaluated by three PhDs in the fields of Soil Science / Geology, Botany and Photogrammetry. In addition, there was a Crime Scene Recreation at the same site of the "finding" where an identical box was buried and subsequently excavated.

The Government could not obtain expert opinions in any field to refute what the experts have stated based on scientific facts and principles.

The issue is rather basic and even a fifth grader of average intelligence could infer that a) there was no excavation, let alone 20 minutes of it as Rinke and Kimbell had claimed b) that the hole was not a few minutes old but rather an old depression that had existed at the site for weeks or months and c) that it was not big enough to have contained within it in its entirety a box the size depicted in the Government's pictures, the box being 18.5" in length, 7.5" in width and 14-15" in height as its internal dimensions.

The Eighth Circuit Court Of Appeals claimed this very fabricated evidence as being "overwhelming evidence of guilt". The District Court refused to allow an Evidentiary Hearing on this matter which would have answered a lot of questions about the "fabrication and planting" of the evidence which would have been scandalous, exposing egregious conduct of the ATF Officers, AUSAs and the individuals who participated in the endeavor which was clearly and convincingly a "Fraud On The Courts".

This coverup is no less egregious than the planning, killing and the coverup associated with the killing of Jamal Khashoggi by Government entities, with the only difference being that in my case there was an attempt to legitimize it through the Court system. In denying me even an Evidentiary Hearing, the District Court stated a) that I was time barred in raising the 5th Amendment Violation issue as my Trial/ Direct Appeal attorneys had not raised the issue in my Direct Appeal, and that I was now time barred, b) as regard to the 6th Amendment Violation as it related to Ineffective Assistance by my Trial Counsel, the Court ruled that not obtaining experts and raising the issue of evidence fabrication and its subsequent planting by Government entities would not have been believed by the Jury, making me appear as if I were a crank, something that would have led to my conviction of the more serious bombing charges, for which there was no evidence and c) I could raise the issue in a subsequent "Actual Innocence" claim, which would in any circumstance be a high hurdle to cross. With the Government withholding my FOIA data and document request and its various agencies withholding data under the guise of it being "Exempt" from being released makes my job of proving my innocence even harder, if not entirely impossible. This has become a Catch-22 issue for me despite the fact that the data I am seeking has been withheld from me in violation of Brady and Giglio, data that I was slated to receive prior to the commencement of my trial.

One does not have to be an Expert or hold a doctorate degree in any relevant field to apply common sense when viewing the Government presented pictures. In fact, even a fifth grader of average intelligence would come to the conclusion that the evidence presented by the Government was an impossibility. There is no way that individuals with superior IQs such as the United States District and Circuit Court Judges could have missed the overt findings of fraud. They simply just wanted to coverup for their Government confederates. There is no other plausible explanation for their turning a blind eye to such obvious findings.

The Government's deceit did not stop here. In the pictures taken the following day March 4, 2009 which were not introduced at trial it is painfully obvious that the ATF Agents, whose names were never divulged, tried to "freshen" the hole to make it appear to have been recently excavated to conform with the testimonies of Rinke and Kimbell.

In not granting any form of Hearing the District Court successfully kept issues from being litigated, investigated and hence exposed such as:

There are more questions in this case than answers. This case has uncanny similarities to the much talked about Khashoggi case. Only the Government did not use a Bone Cutting Saw to do their coverup, they used the Court system in an attempt to show a degree of refinement over the Saudis.

I can assure you that no matter how hard you try, given your influence, power and position you will not be able to get either Ryan Kimbell, Mark Rinke or ATF Agent Warren Newman, the principle obvious actors in this crime to talk or interact with you. It does not take one to be a genius to figure out that a crime was committed by the Government and its confederates and their talking with you would defy the basic laws of self-preservation.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could either;

This is only the tip of the iceberg as there are numerous other issues that arose when the Government chose to alter the facts to make the means justify the end. Do contact me if you have any questions or queries or if I could assist you in any way.

Yours sincerely,
