Former prosecutor and judge Clifford J. Minor has confessed to taking a bribe, procuring a false confession, lying to investigators, and falsifying documents. Before serving as a prosecutor and a judge, Minor was a police officer. He later ran for mayor of Newark.
At the heart of the case is a confession by Jamal Muhammad to a gun charge. The actual culprit was Abdul Williams, but Williams had a much longer record and would have received a long sentence. Minor took $3,500 in two payments from Williams to act as Mr. Muhammad’s lawyer and arranged the confession (which Minor knew to be false). Remarkably, Muhammad was paid only $1,500 to take the fall. If this were a legal transaction, Minor would have been accused of ineffective counsel to boot.
Minor, 68, pleaded guilty to six criminal charges.
He was at one time the chief administrative judge in Newark.

Yes…I did Divorce law as well….I was fairly adept at what ever I took on…really….I became quite compulsive about my cases…so I feel your pain….

Sounds like you are using compulsive to mean competitive
**************
No as compulsive as you….I intended to offend…To keep the upper hand…..So don’t fuck with me….Got it…..

Did Federal Criminal Law as well…

That sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

No Kay….The people I represented had no value for Human life and yours would not be worth much to them….Pleased don’t insult your intelligent to expect one to fall for that….You are not that good…

Yes Kay….You do lie…and one lie on here and you are done…and to lie to a judge about activity outside the court…is still a lie regardless if you told the truth in court….its called credibility…which you lack….

Now that sounds like you are connected to my third party defendants.
*****************
Kay, you set yourself up in your own lies…the shit stinks and you do not like the way it smells….or what it is costing you…..
_____________________________________
What happened was that I was sitting in jail with no sentence and no scheduled trial and no lawyer and no charges and no speedy trial notice and no habeas information and no federal rules of criminal procedure.
****************
Kay, You were being held for contempt….No notice, no sentence, no trial schedule, no right to an attorney until a HEARING, a CONTEMPT HEARING was to be held….the judge had not made his mind up if he was going to sentence you to jail…. a legal quagmire you were in….and guess what…if he had given you jail time…he did not have to give you credit for the dead time….Not Funny if it had happened to me….But you seemed to be deserving….
*********************
All I really had were some notes I brought with me, some stuff hubby sent, the CRS, and an incomplete American Jurisprudence.

So he could have said that he feared for your safety and done to you what they are doing to Pvt. Manning…..Oh yeah….and you would not have had anything…..My condolences to anyone involved with you…..

There was a big section in AJ about Duress. I copied parts of it and turned it into a motion and it is in PACER in D of Colorado 02-cv-1950 docket 641.
***************
Well if you have lost your only option is to appeal….
*****************
Then an attorney working in a private law firm proposed to Nottingham that he put my husband in jail to retaliate against my filing another complaint. So with no criminal charge, former judge Nottingham set a contempt of court hearing to discuss whether to put my husband in jail. They brought me in to witness against him or to threaten and upset him to get at me.
*******************
You are delusional… if the Hubby did not sign the complaint….he was not subject to the Jurisdiction of the court….You are lying about something…..Oh what could it be…. also…spousal immunity is greatly recognized in Federal Court…
*******************
In AJ about duress it said that if you are under threat you can legally lie to get safe. For instance, you can tell a rapist you won’t report if he lets you go and then you can still testify against him.
*******************
Med Nurse….I think its time…..Give her a good shot while she is held down…..she does not understand the law….
***********************
So I relied on a theory of duress to get out of jail. Nottingham insisted I file motions to dismiss and I called them motions to dismiss under duress of jail.
**********************
I bet the Judge was ecstatic…. I know I am….I just can’t figure out you went to Jail or proposed to the Judge he read your long handed dribble….I bet he was amused….really amused…
*****************************
That is consistent with the principle that you can’t be required to chose between two rights.
******************
Say what…..I am more lost than you….And you are out in left filed… I have seen home runs with less air between them and home plate than you and your reasoning…What kind of Mushrooms did you ingest? Was it voluntary….or did they just look pretty…
*******************
That is why my $50 offer extended to only written documents I filed in federal court.
******************
Try 550.00 an hour….You jest….50 dollars….haha….maybe I need some gas…..That is funny..
Anyway, have a good evening.
***********************
And to you too….I suppose if we don’t hear from you for a while…it will be because the Judge has already made reservations in your name……
That is funny don’t you think?
Sorry, the principle that you can’t be required to choose between two rights. I guess you could call that a right to not be extorted.
That’s interesting that I am on a blog with, apparently, a retired divorce attorney, and that divorce law was known for extortion.
This also connects to my underlying facts that a restraining order was issued against me under the statutory basis that I had an intimate relationship with my neighbor. Which of course I did not.
There really a difference in presumptions to extend intimate relationship law to neighbor law. You choose who you have an intimate relationship with and if you decide to end it, there is practically always a move. Part of the law involves children.
Yes it is degenerating AND I am off to a birthday party.
HOWEVER I can not resist responding to

Blouise did not call AY or anyone else “Jim” in the comment above. There is a troll named “Jim” in another thread and Blouise was inviting AY and the rest of us over because playing with Troll Jim is more fun than messing with you, Kay.
Blouise called you “Jim” above at 4:12 P.M.
I added the Old since you didn’t know about the federal rules of criminal procedure being amended in 2002 and talked about when you were litigating. It seems that you were in state court… maybe a divorce lawyer?
No I didn’t “continually lie about my case”….
Back up my name calling with real proof….Ok….You are annoying….You make an afternoon with Jeffrey Dalhmer look like a cake walk….You have stated that you are going to kill yourself…Some don’t think thats a good Ideal….I on the other hand believe that if thats what you want to do…then do it…I am a firm believer in the Hemlock Society….You have continually lied about your case…or maybe you are so far in over your head you cannot remember shit from shinola….Take your choice….What Defamation..Truth is an absolute defense….I don’t think many on here would agree with my assessment about you…and I have never posted under Old Jim….are you saying you have multiple screen names to go with your multiple personalities…..
Dear Old Jim AKA Anonymously Yours
I was merely asking you to back up your name calling with real proof.
Please cut out the defamation if you can’t back it up.
What part of NO don’t you understand. No one as far as I am concerned has offered you legal advice except to obtain professional help either legal or psychological….you have drawn incorrect conclusions…. what does your doctor say about this….
Posted the same for jim on the thread Blouise is talking about.
sorry, that comment was not clearly written. Someone was talking to me here.
I meant you shouldn’t feel bad not knowing about the Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 42 being changed in 2002 regarding contempt to reflect the 1987 decision of Young v. United States ex rel. Vuitton , 481 U.S. 787 (1987)
As far as proof that I lied in federal court filings how about I offer a $50 reward for proof of perjury using federal criminal standards related to my verified documents? This offer does not apply to out of court lies, I am not putting every word I ever said up for review, only those in federal court filings. And it doesn’t apply to typos or non intentional misrepresentations. There is one I made recently in federal court and I don’t know how to correct it. I was in a hurry and I didn’t look up the law number because I thought I remembered it and I wrote 1985(1) instead of 1981 referring to the sections of Title 42. Maybe I should send in a notice of errata but I dismissed the case. I guess I will do that, it couldn’t hurt.

And just when and where exactly did you say I “lied” without being under duress of jail….
I don’t think you should feel bad not knowing that. I bet that if you did a survey of lawyers most of them probably don’t know.
Ok, so what are you saying that we ddo not have to know the new rules? You must have had one hardassed acid trip….still seeing colors? Things melting?
I am not sure what the hell you are saying Kay? I don’t really care as you have proven yourself a LIAR. That is enough for me to know about you. You lie.
Dear Anonymously Yours
Like I said I like to know who I am dealing with. You wrote ” When I actively litigated…”. This suggests that you may have been in practice before the Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 42 was amended. That was only 9 years ago.
See if I were not here blogging with you I would not have picked up on the significant of that date.
Per Cornell Legal Institute.
NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES – 2002 AMENDMENT
The language of Rule 42 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Criminal Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only, except as noted below.
The revised rule is intended to more clearly set out the procedures for conducting a criminal contempt proceeding. The current rule implicitly recognizes that an attorney for the government may be involved in the prosecution of such cases. Revised Rule 42(a)(2) now explicitly addresses the appointment of a “prosecutor” and adopts language to reflect the holding in Young v. United States ex rel. Vuitton , 481 U.S. 787 (1987). In that case the Supreme Court indicated that ordinarily the court should request that an attorney for the government prosecute the contempt; only if that request is denied, should the court appoint a private prosecutor. The rule envisions that a disinterested counsel should be appointed to prosecute the contempt.
Rule 42(b) has been amended to make it clear that a court may summarily punish a person for committing contempt in the court’s presence without regard to whether other rules, such as Rule 32 (sentencing procedures), might otherwise apply. See, e.g., United States v. Martin-Trigona , 759 F.2d 1017 (2d Cir. 1985). Further, Rule 42(b) has been amended to recognize the contempt powers of a court (other than a magistrate judge) and a magistrate judge.
Blouise,
I am kinda of pissed for being taken for a fool…
That maybe true Blouise….But I am deeply incensed by this moron…Playing us like a fool… When I actively litigated….well lest just say….I could be very provoking…..once but for a Prosecutor stepping in the way of his peaceful client in the witness box saying how peaceful she was she would have hit me…. she stood up and took a swing….I got a loss out of that one…my client insisted on testifying….. he was much worse…. They both claimed to be peaceful….yeah right…
