COMPLAINT (AMENDED or NEW, as JUDGE JONES DEEMS BEST)AS IN 2008 “BROKEN GAVEL” JUDGE CONVICTIONS, VIOLATIONS OF THERACKETEER INFLUENCED CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS ACT 18 USC § 1962(C)

1. Wetsel, Prosser and Thomson “ruled the roost” as a RICO in the Courts of Winchester for

years, conspiring to subvert rules of Due Process and any sense of Justice or decency.

On 10 January 2011, Thomson was arrested for Evidence Tampering and Witness

Tampering to cover-up phone records of a drug dealer, Jovel. On 21 January 2011,

the same day the Plaintiff filed a Citizen Petition for Special Grand Jury naming John Prosser as

a Respondent / Defendant, Judge Prosser announced a “surprise”, early retirement. On 15

February 2011, Wetsel conspired to cover-up wrongdoing and committed “Jury Tampering” by Perjury

with his false statement filled “Supplemental Grand Jury Instructions”. On 17 February 1999, when

LaNell Hockman attempted suicide, a Confidential Informant reported “Paul Thomson is skimming

money from drug dealers.” On 17 December 1997, a Northern Virginia Daily news report

revealed over $300,000 of drug money in a non-audited Police Account. On or after 5 October

1994, Thomson and Hockman, conspired to alter some Court Transcripts, a form of Evidence

Tampering and Witness Tampering to cover-up phone records of a drug dealer, Marshall.

“Broken Gavel” or “Broken Balance” or “Broken Justice” RICO Complaint against Winchester! page 1

UNITED STATES OF AMERICATHE WESTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA

Harrisonburg Division

Prosser and Randy Bryant, if not also Wetsel, quietly aided and abetted that conspiracy of

removing a witness, Amy Ruble, from the murder scene of drug dealer Carlos Marshall, who

owed $1600 to Amy Ruble to pay for the phone she provided to the drug dealer. Police

Detectives Bailous and Sobonya tampered with Evidence and Witnesses to frame as the

gunman a Citizen who was a “recreational drug user” not a drug dealer, like Carlos Marshall

and others that John Prosser knew and identified to Franklin Washington hours after the murder.

The second string members of the Conspiracy team were Iden, Abrams, and Bryant, who in

later investigations of the Jeff Washington case, conspired with false statements to conceal the

facts of the case, and to cover up the truth. As does any Citizen, Plaintiff has a Right to the

honest services of a Public Servant, yet both Wetsel and Iden, have concealed Truth from the

Plaintiff, while others have committed other Felony offenses. Under 2010 Virginia Law § 26-72, the

Plaintiff can act as an agent and attorney for Jeffrey Franklin Washington, unable to afford yet more

dishonest Bar licensed attorneys like Prosser & Bryant ($33,000), and others ($75,000 & $5000).

2. In Title 18 United States Code is an apt definition of the public service of John Wetsel,

John Prosser, Paul Thomson, Alex Iden, and the others named in this ongoing Conspiracy:

§ 1346. Definition of “scheme or artifice to defraud”

For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes

a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.

3. Since 15 February 2011 and before, Wetsel, Iden, et al, did injure Plaintiff Manship

in the Due Process Exercise of his Rights to Equal Justice under this Constitution.

4. On 21 March 2011, before Plaintiff received the Judge Johnson ORDER of

18 March 2011, an experienced Private Investigator advised Plaintiff Manship that

Federal Court Judges have authorized funds to assist an In Forma Pauperis litigant

in the proper presentation of the case before the Court. With the Grant of In Forma

Pauperis by Judge Jones, Plaintiff Manship herein makes a MOTION FOR

COURT ASSISTANCE for a Private Investigator, much like the Court Interpreter to


interpret a “foreign language” to here have an “interpreter” of the “legal language”

demanded by the Court for Criminal or Civil Charges required for properly “state a

claim on which relief can be granted”, so to avoid a repeat of the injustice of the

Plaintiff’s Court filing “must be dismissed for failure to state a claim.” A fair

opportunity for a Citizen’s Relief from injustice is a duty of any Court, state or federal, and

“Rules of the Court” must not be so dense as to trump the Rule of Law and render Justice

blind to evil.

5. On 15 February 2011, Mr. Wetsel violated his trust as a judge by issuing to Jurors

of the Winchester Grand Jury a “Supplemental Grand Jury Instructions”

document that contained both false and misleading statements, that in effect

was Jury Tampering by Fraud or Deception by the presiding judge, that did

injure the Right of the Plaintiff to a fair and Due Process hearing before the Jurors

in the Plaintiff’s petition for a Special Grand Jury as is his Right under Virginia law.

6. Mr. Wetsel failed to honor minimal standard of Due Process, or fair play in the level

playing field of our Courts, by his negligence in providing a copy of his

“Supplemental Grand Jury Instructions” to Plaintiff Manship PRIOR to Manship

testifying to the Grand Jurors, as Plaintiff requested in the second paragraph of his

4 February a.d. 2011 letter of reply to Judge Wetsel’s 25 January 2011 letter of

response to the Plaintiff’s 21 January 2011 Petition for Special Grand Jury.

7. The presiding judge, Mr. Wetsel, did NOT identify and prevent a Conflict of Interest by the Jury

Foreman, Mr. Butler, who as Vice Mayor or City Councilman, had voted on Mr. Sobonya in a

closed personnel meeting after a Police Internal Investigation of wrongdoing by Sobonya and

allowed Sobonya to testify to the Grand Jury as an “expert witness” rather than as Defendant.

8. Two “Defendants” or “Accused Parties” in the Petition for Special Grand Jury,

namely Mr. Iden and Mr. Sobonya, with the complicity of the presiding judge,

Mr. Wetsel, conspired to undermine the testimony of Plaintiff Manship, by “under the

color of law” playing on their positions of authority to manipulate Jurors’ decisions.


Both Iden and Sobonya should have “recused” themselves so not to abuse their positions.

Wetsel violated his duty to provide for a fair hearing by allowing such manipulations.

9. As reported on 22 March 2011 by both The Northern Virginia Daily and The Winchester Star,

the presiding judge, Mr. Wetsel, in a pending Criminal matter before this Western

District of Virginia federal Court, United States v. Thomson, allowed Defendant Mr.

Thomson to totally unsupervised access to a Federal Witness, Lemuel Roberts, in the

case against Mr. Thomson in the Jury Room of the Winchester Court on 8 March 2011, to aid

and abet ongoing attempts at Obstruction of Justice by attorney Thomson, defendant.

10.In 2011, Thomson and the daughter of LaNell Hockman, Nanette Boden, have now been

charged by Federal law enforcement authorities with Evidence Tampering and Witness

Tampering with ONE current drug dealer, Jovel, who owns a phone and phone records.

After her arrest, with the aide of Boden, Paul Thomson has been charged with Evidence

Tampering and Witness Tampering with two more drug dealers with phones and

phone records, one being Lemuel Roberts. Way back in 1994, Thomson and his

mistress Court Reporter LaNell Hockman conspired to alter the Court Transcripts of

5 October 1994 to remove the name of Amy Ruble who owned the phone that drug

dealer Carlos Marshall used, and had run up a bill of $1600 that she was demanding

money from Marshall to pay. Leopards don’t change their spots, and liar-lawyers like

Thomson, Iden, Abrams, Bryant, Prosser and Wetsel don’t change their “spotty” behavior.

11.The concerned Citizens who have contacted the Plaintiff to advance Truth and

Justice in the Courts include (1) the mother of the child of the murder victim Carlos

Marshall, where Defendants “judge” Wetsel, “prosecutor” Thomson, and “defense

counsel” Prosser were the “first string” team of conspirators covering up the Truth of

who killed her daughter’s father; (2) a former policeman and private investigator; (3) a

second private investigator with extensive experience in over-turning false murder

convictions; (4) a local business owner; (5) a limited “Pro Bono” lawyer, and (6) a close


neighbor of a “Confidential Informant” who revealed that Police Detective Bailous

knew the Court Transcripts had been altered in the Jeff Washington case, the

travesty that is the fundamental cause for the June 2010 Special Prosecutor to be

named; with the CONNECTION being the 1994 “Telephone Records” of the Drug Dealer

Carlos Marshall on the phone of Amy Ruble that led to the Thomson - Hockman

“Evidence Tampering” and “Witness Tampering” by altering of Court Transcripts to

remove any mention of Amy Ruble, as proven by the hand-written notes of Defendants

Prosser and Bryant, the same “pattern” as recent 2010 & 2011 “Telephone Records” Thomson

Evidence Tampering and Witness Tampering to remove Nanette Boden.

12. Like as is written in the BROKEN GAVEL INDICTMENT USDC WD La. 5:07 CR - 50097:

A. AT ALL TIMES MATERIAL HEREIN:

1. The defendant, JOHN E. WETSEL, Jr., is a public officer holding a high-level,

decision making position, namely a judge elected by the General Assembly of

Virginia, serving in the 26th Judicial District of Virginia. On 15 February 2011,

Wetsel did commit the Felony Act of Perjury by submitting a document with false

statements to the Winchester Grand Jury to injure Plaintiff in his Right to Due

Process in a legal proceeding before that Court body. The stated Cause is

Conspiracy to Violate Civil Rights for which Relief is sought is for the U.S. Attorney to

assist the Plaintiff to prosecute and convict this man for Perjury and Jury Tampering, a

judge who has violated the Trust of the Citizens of Virginia, and so is not entitled to

any form of Judicial Immunity. Monetary damages to the Plaintiff as the Jury decides.

a. Given that Plaintiff Manship wrote to Judge Wetsel on 24 October a.d. 2008,

seeking the Judge to act in accordance with Virginia supreme Court Rule 1.1, to


declare VOID Ab Initio the Paul Thomson prepared and seriously flawed “Alford

Plea” Plea Agreement, signed in his Court on 28 February a.d. 1995. despite the

fact that the Plea Agreement included two Abduction charges that Judge Wetsel

on 15 December 1994 had written a letter to prosecutor Thomson stating did not

apply in this case based on recent case law. And in paragraph 4 of the Thomson

Plea Agreement that was COERCED upon Jeffrey Franklin Washington by a

Conspiracy between Prosecutor Thomson, Defense Counsel Prosser, and blind-

eye acceptance of trial Judge Wetsel, was a provision where Washington could

withdraw from the Plea Agreement if it was changed. AFTER SIGNATURE BY

WASHINGTON, the PLEA WAS CHANGED as the two abduction charges were

removed, as they had been removed BEFORE signing the Plea Agreements with

John Doleman and others. That change “invokes” the “escape clause” of

Paragraph 4, yet Washington was NOT given his Plea Agreement “Contractual

Right” to withdraw from the Plea. While not online in the 2011 Rules of the Virginia

supreme Court, the 2002 Michie printed book of Rules of Virginia supreme Court,

on page 4 are five applicable paragraphs with titles:

Time limit not applicable to orders void ab initio.“Void Judgment.”

Void decree or order is a nullityThis rule is not a limitation on power and authority of court to vacate void order.

Judgments that are void may be attacked in any court at any time.

b. Judge Wetsel ignored Plaintiff Manship’s letter, so Plaintiff Manship testified

against Wetsel in the Courts of Justice Committees on 4 February 2009, to

torpedo Wetsel’s ambitions to serve on the Court of Appeals of Virginia, yet John


Wetsel failed to honor Canons of Judicial Conduct to recuse himself as

Presiding Judge over the Grand Jury convened on 15 February 2011.

c. Judge Wetsel conspired to deny the Plaintiff fair access to the Grand Jury by

writing and issuing to the Grand Jury instructions that contained (1) False

Statements, (2) Misleading Statements, or (3) Statements based on out of date

Court handbooks, all as part of a conspiracy with others named above, Iden and

Sobonya, to wrongfully influence the deliberations of the Grand Jury of Winchester

on 15 February anno domini 2011. And even in the mere proceeding as the

presiding judge over this Winchester Regular Grand Jury where the Plaintiff was

seeking “a Special Grand Jury... composed of from seven to eleven citizens

of a city or county, selected by the Circuit Court and summoned to

investigate any condition which tends to promote criminal activity in the

community or by any governmental authority, agency or official.” “The

Special Grand Jury, composed entirely of private citizens, is the one non-

political body with legal authority to make such investigations.”

d. Wetsel violated the Canons of Judicial Conduct in his Conflict of Interest as the

trial judge on the case the Petitioner was seeking the Special Grand Jury to

investigate.

2. The defendant, PAUL H. THOMSON, is a public officer holding a high-level decision

making position, namely the elected Commonwealth Attorney from 1986 to 2002,

and to date, STILL, an “Officer of the Court” as a member of the Virginia State Bar.

Former Prosecutor Paul H. Thomson is related to a powerful political dynasty of

Virginia, and for over two decades acted with the attitude of “Commonwealth laws for


common folk did not apply to him”, as one of his fellow Commonwealth Attorneys

said to the Plaintiff on 9 December 2010 after Manship spoke to the Criminal

Justice Services Board, “Yeah, Paul had an overly inflated view of himself.” and

then suggested the word, “Hubris”, the Greek word for “Pride before the Fall”. On

or about 4 January 2011, Manship met with Virginia State Police Detective Martin

Chapman to address the corruptions and conspiracy of the case of Thomson against

Jeff Washington and report the “Thomson is skimming money from drug dealers”

in the 02/17/1999 Police Notes. On 10 January a.d. 2011, Paul Thomson was

arrested for Evidence Tampering, Witness Tampering, with Drug Possession

charges added days later in a recent case, yet the same type of behavior

Thomson practiced in his case against Washington. On 18 August a.d. 2009, Paul

Thomson running chased Manship walking down the street, yelling at and making

threats at Plaintiff Manship when as a Process Server, Manship gave Paul Thomson a

Court document from Jeffrey Franklin Washignton. The Cause is Violation of the Trust

of the Citizens, Perjury, Evidence Tampering, Witness Tampering, and threats to the

Plaintiff in August 2009, the Relief sought is is for the U.S. Attorney to assist the

Plaintiff to prosecute and convict this man for violations of law in 1994 on to this day.

3. The defendant, JOHN R. PROSSER, was an “Officer of the Court” as a member of

the Virginia State Bar, on or before 16 August 1994, when he assumed the duty as

Defense Counsel for Army Veteran Jeffrey Franklin Washington, until 1995 when

he, Prosser, did the “Fee, Plea, and Flee” concept of Defense Counsel Advocacy, by

undermining, and then leaving the case without pursuing any Appeal, and then

Prosser was rewarded for his “cooperation” in the Alford Plea Agreement with his


nomination to be judge, where Prosser was a public officer holding a high-level,

decision making position, namely a judge elected by the General Assembly of

Virginia, serving in the 26th Judicial District of Virginia. Thank God for small favors, a

curious 11 days after Paul Thomson was arrested by Federal law enforcement

authorities, and the same day, 21 January 2011, as the Petition for a Special

Grand Jury of Plaintiff Manship where Judge Prosser was named as a subject for

investigation, Judge Prosser submitted a “surprise” retirement letter to the Chief

Justice of the Virginia supreme Court. On or about 25 July 2008, Plaintiff Manship, a

man who has testified in 1990 before Congress on a bill to help the Coast

Guard better fight the Drug War and in 2007-2008 had served as a Drug

Demand Reduction Officer for the Civil Air Patrol, was “by accident” or by

Divine Providence, in the Courtroom of Judge Prosser, to witness a fairly

pretty white woman confessed to Guilt on TEN DRUG CHARGES, but

then Judge Prosser strangely SUSPENDED ALL JAIL TIME ON ALL TEN CHARGES.

That “Sweetheart Deal” by Prosser did “not pass the smell test”. Reports exist of

attorney John R. Prosser being involved with drug use. Prosser failed to state

a Conflict of Interest as Rudy Powell’s former counsel. After the arrest of former

Commonwealth Attorney Paul Thomson by Federal agents on 10 January 2011,

Petitioner Manship learned from a Confidential Informant who played football with

Prosser’s son that many students at Handley High talked about the facts of the elder

Prosser using cocaine. Petitioner seeks to find corroborating informants. Defendant

Prosser self-admitted playing basketball with drug dealer Carlos Marshall, and

Prosecution Police Interview with Rudy Powell testified on 17 August 1994,


within 24 hours of the murder of Carlos Marshall that Carlos had been beat up

by out of town thugs on the basketball court. Defendant Prosser’s former client,

Rudy Powell mentioned a local thug’s name, Scott Jackson, but was

immediately silenced by Defendant James K. Bailous, then the primary

Winchester Police Detective in the case, but whose presence during the Police

Interview was “HIDDEN” on the front page. Why HIDDEN? A page of notes in

Prosser’s own penmanship that shows many reasons any competent counsel

would have gone to a jury trial, yet he coerced a false form Alford Plea from his

client Jeff Washington. The Plaintiff’s Cause is Violation of the Trust of the

Citizens, Perjury, Evidence Tampering, Witness Tampering, the Relief sought is for

the U.S. Attorney to assist the Plaintiff to prosecute and convict this man.

4. The defendant, David P. Sobonya, is a public officer holding a mid-level, decision

making position, namely in recent years an FBI employee with access to Case files

as a FOIA inquiry response employee, and until some months after a Winchester

City Council Closed Session Personnel Committee meeting that followed a Police

“Internal Investigation” demanded by Franklin Washington, father of “inmate” Jeffrey

Franklin Washington, who is the victim of Evidence Tampering, by then Investigator

Sobonya. Sobonya served as a Police Investigator in Winchester, Virginia from

16 August 1994 or before, until leaving the Winchester Police force in 2008. Police

notes of 02/17/1999 show Investigator Sobonya was present at an “emergency” meeting

with high-level city leaders within 20 minutes or so of learning from a Confidential

Informant, that Commonwealth Attorney, now Defendant, Paul Thomson was:

“skimming money from drug dealers”.


Policeman Sobonya allowed Paul Thomson to remain in a position of trust.

The Police Notes show Thomson’s drug connection was reported to the FBI.

No FBI investigation report is known to exist. Now Sobonya works for the FBI.

Defendant FBI agent Sobonya was subpoened by Defendant Alex Iden to

testify to the Winchester Grand Jury that met on 15 February 2011, an odd or

unusual or improper procedure by Iden and Sobonya, if not quite illegal.

Sobonya also did Evidence Tampering altering the proper completion of the GSR

Tests, with slight variance in his notes of 1 and 8 September 1994, showing a cover-

up. Suborning Perjury, or Witness Tampering, is shown in Paul Thomson’s “Plea

Agreements” with several drug dealers. The Plaintiff’s Cause is Violation of the Trust

of the Citizens, Perjury, Evidence Tampering, Witness Tampering, the Relief sought

is is for the U.S. Attorney to assist the Plaintiff to prosecute and convict this man.

5. The defendant, ALEXANDER R. IDEN, is a public officer holding a high-level

decision making position, namely the elected Commonwealth Attorney from 2002 to

present, previously a City Councilman (maybe one of the City Leaders who

learned of Paul Thomson skimming money from drug dealers on

02/17/1999 ?) and prior to that, an “Officer of the Court” as a member of the Virginia

State Bar. Since assuming office in 2002, Defendant Iden has been involved in a

number of “cover-up” crimes in the Obstruction of Justice by his efforts blocking, or

delaying, the release of Exculpatory Evidence in the case of innocent Army Veteran

Jeffrey Franklin Washington. In the Winchester Police Chief letter of 28 July 1999,

where the Bailous termination was mentioned, Chief Gary Reynolds also echoed

Defendant Thomson’s words that he, Thomson, had made a “mess” of the


Washington case. In that same letter, Police Chief Reynolds also suggested that an

investigation be conducted by the Attorney General or the Supreme Court, as long

as the facts were presented. No such investigation was ever conducted of Thomson’s

drug connections or his other mess, and Iden did not “clean up the mess” when he was

elected in 2001 to replace Thomson, indeed Iden conspired to cover-up its crimes. The

Plaintiff’s Cause is Violation of the Trust of the Citizens, Perjury, Evidence

Tampering, Witness Tampering, the Relief sought is is for the U.S. Attorney to assist

the Plaintiff to prosecute and convict this man.

6. The defendant, MARC ABRAMS, is a public officer holding a mid-level decision

making position, namely second to the elected Commonwealth Attorney, both

Thomson and Iden, from on or about 16 August 1994 to present, and prior to that,

an “Officer of the Court” as a member of the Virginia State Bar. Defendant Abrams

has been involved in a number of “cover-up” crimes in the Obstruction of Justice by

his efforts blocking, or delaying, the release of Exculpatory Evidence in the case of

innocent Army Veteran Jeffrey Franklin Washington. The Plaintiff’s Cause is

Violation of the Trust of the Citizens, Perjury, Evidence Tampering, Witness

Tampering, the Relief sought is is for the U.S. Attorney to assist the Plaintiff to

prosecute and convict this man.

7. The defendant, RANDY BRYANT, is a public officer as a “Substitute Judge” and as

an “Officer of the Court” as a member of the Virginia State Bar. Defendant Bryant

has been involved in a number of “cover-up” crimes in the Obstruction of Justice by

his efforts blocking, or delaying, the release of Exculpatory Evidence, and writing

false statements to the Virginia supreme Court, in the case of innocent Army


Veteran Jeffrey Franklin Washington. The Cause is Violation of the Trust of the

Citizens, Perjury, Evidence Tampering, Witness Tampering, the Relief sought is is

for the U.S. Attorney to assist the Plaintiff to prosecute and convict this man.

8. The defendant, LANELL HOCKMAN, is a functionary of the Court as a Court

Reporter entrusted to honestly and completely transcribe the Court record.

Defendant Hockman has been involved in a number of “cover-up” crimes in the

Obstruction of Justice by her efforts blocking, or delaying, the release of Exculpatory

Evidence in the case of innocent Army Veteran Jeffrey Franklin Washington. The

Cause is Violation of the Trust of the Citizens, Perjury, Evidence Tampering,

Witness Tampering, the Relief sought is is for the U.S. Attorney to assist the Plaintiff

to prosecute and convict this woman.

9. The Defendant, James K. Bailous, was a public officer holding a mid-level, decision

making position, namely served as a Police Investigator in Winchester, Virginia until

he was terminated in 1999, near which time Defendant Paul Thomson protested to

Police Chief Gary Reynolds the “surprise” termination of Investigator Bailous. A

revised personnel action removed the stain of termination from the Bailous file.

Bailous was later terminated from the Berryville Police Department, reportedly for

being caught having sex with a citizen in the back seat of a police cruiser. Similar

antics by Bailous outside of his uniform circulate about the town of Winchester. The

wife of Police Investigator Bailous was a first cousin to Murder suspect John

Doleman, so to avoid Conflict of Interest, Bailous should NEVER have been

involved in the case. Transcripts show Bailous was “secretly” present on 17

August 1994 when witness Rudy Powell said that “John Doleman did it”, and later


Doleman had a POSITIVE Gun Shot Residue Test, yet Policeman Bailous steered

the investigation toward the innocent Army Veteran Jeffrey Franklin Washington.

A conspiracy of Police Investigator Bailous whose Conflict of Interest from the

beginning on or about 16 August 1994, is simply appalling. Bailous “silenced”

witness Rudy Powell after he identified a white man, Scott Jackson as a likely

white gunman, while identifying John Doleman as the man who did it, yet the

Bailous crimes were allowed and covered-up by Police Investigator Sobonya,

who covered-up the testimony of Kristen Black about a white man named

Scott who gave the murder victim $1000.

Northern Virginia Daily ace reporter Alex Bridges wrote in his article on 16 February

about the 15 February 2011 Grand Jury:

The eight-person panel came out of the secret deliberations after more than

three hours. Spokesman Michael Butler, a former city councilman,

told Wetsel that, after examining evidence presented to them,

they did not wish to be impaneled as a special grand jury.

That “clue” - “former city councilman” with added research reveals unstated Conflicts of

Interest of the Jury Foreman of the 15 February Regular Grand Jury of Winchester. The

presiding judge, John Wetsel, despite his two days of back to back “Hitler”

comparisons to Army Veteran Washington, and having been PREVIOUSLY RECUSED from

this Washington case, failed to self-recuse, and now refuses to “allow” the Motion for

Rehearing to proceed in his letter to Plaintiff Manship dated February 18, 2011.


In short, Wetsel as presiding Judge by his actions to Obstruct Justice in the Grand Jury process

joined in a Conspiracy with others to Violate the Civil RIghts of Plaintiff Manship and Citizen

Washington. In Title 18 United States Code is an apt description of the legal service of John

Wetsel, Paul Thomson, Alex Iden, John Prosser, and others in this ongoing Conspiracy:

§ 1346. Definition of “scheme or artifice to defraud”

For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes

a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.

Defendant Wetsel’s “Supplemental Grand Jury Instructions” written on or before

15 February 2011, are Violation of Perjury laws, if not laws against Jury

Tampering, for several good and sufficient reasons:

(1) One, Judge Wetsel’s document contains FALSE statements.

(2) Two, Judge Wetsel’s document contains MISLEADING statements.

(3) Three, it appears that Judge Wetsel in his “Supplemental Grand Jury

Instructions” referred to an out of date Virginia supreme Court Handbook

for Grand Jurors. The current edition is dated October 2010, and was

referenced by Manship in both his original Petition and his letter of 4 February

a.d. 2011 required by the 25 January Wetsel “Letter of Instructions”.

(4) Plaintiff Manship in the second paragraph of his letter of 4 February a.d. 2011 to

Judge John E. Wetsel, Jr. and Clerk of the Court Terrence Whittle, that

Petitioner letter required by the letter of Judge Wetsel dated 25 January 2011,

specifically stated:

Your second paragraph refers to “it is the policy of this Circuit…”. I

request to receive a copy of that Circuit Court policy, whether an


instruction or a manual so I may be fully informed and thus able to do

my best to advance Justice.

(5) At or about 3:04 p.m. on 4 February a.d. 2011, with a witness present, Petitioner

Manship face to face asked Clerk of Court Terrence Whittle for a copy of the

Circuit Court Policy, whether instruction or manual. Clerk Whittle said he did not

have any such local Circuit Court instruction regarding Grand Jury functioning.

(6) In spite of the request prior to the convening of the Grand Jury of Petitioner

Manship, timely submitted to both Judge Wetsel and Clerk Whittle, Due Process

was violated by the presiding judge, John Wetsel, in his failure to provide IN

ADVANCE of the meeting with the Grand Jury, a copy of the “Supplemental

Grand Jury Instructions” authored by Judge Wetsel. Judge Wetsel conspired

to undermined this fundamental Citizen Right by his false and misleading

statements covered in the veil of Judicial “Supplemental Grand Jury

Instructions” as part of a conspiracy with Defendant Iden and Defendant

Sobonya to subvert the good purpose of the rarely used provision of the laws

of the Commonwealth of Virginia for a common citizen to Petition his fellow

Citizens on a Regular Grand Jury to Order the Court to convene and impanel

another group of fellow Citizens as a SPECIAL GRAND JURY summoned to

investigate any condition which tends to promote criminal activity in the

community or by any governmental authority, agency or official.”

“The Special Grand Jury, composed entirely of private citizens, is the

one non-political body with legal authority to make such investigations.”


Such Special Grand Jury must be able to be formed by the Regular Grand Jury

without deceptive instructions or other impediments by any current or former Public

Servant, whether that be a local or state or federal law enforcement agent such as

Defendant Sobonya or Defendant Bailous, a former or current Prosecutor like Defendants

Iden, Defendant Abrams, or Defendant Thomson, or a former or current Judge, such as

Defendant Wetsel or Defendant Prosser.

10.“BROKEN GAVEL” is the legal code name for the conspiracy of two judges and a

bondsman who were prosecuted beginning 10 October 2007 and convicted in the Western

District of Louisiana under the direction of a black man named Donald Washington.

11.“BROKEN BALANCE” or “BROKEN JUSTICE” are fitting options for code names for the

conspiracy of two judges, Wetsel and Prosser; two elected local prosecutors, Thomson

and Iden; an assistant prosecutor; and two policemen, in the Western District of Virginia, all

named above, in their ongoing “un-balanced” conspiracy to cover-up crimes all the way back to

16 August 1994, exposed by a black man named Franklin Washington and by the Plaintiff.

12.Donald Washington served as a U. S. Attorney. Franklin Washington served as a

factory worker. As “George Washington”, Plaintiff serves teaching We the People,

that in OUR Courts, federal courts or state courts ~~ position, power or privilege are

not rightly determinants for advancing Justice, while for the pauper, Justice is denied.

13. For this Civil Right of uncorrupted access of a Citizen to a Special Grand Jury, and Freedom

for Justice to prevail, I continue to pray and serve as a Journalist for Justice and Minister for

Justice, and herein seek the Relief of the United States Attorney and United States Courts.

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

Penmanship of Prosser - multiple indicators of innocence of his clientJeffrey Franklin Washington, yet Prosser, Thomson & Judge Wetsel together coerced an Alford Plea.

Six Witnesses and Policemen say there was a White Man gun man.Jeff Washington is a Black Man.

A Ski Mask was found NEAR the crime scene with a WHITE MAN hair fiber inside.

1. “Doleman told me JW not involved”, YET AFTER PLEA DEAL with Paul Thomson, says Jeff Washington was the gunman, HOWEVER, Doleman tested POSITIVE for Gun Shot Residue, while Washington tested NEGATIVE.

“Rudy says Doleman did it.”Later Doleman is POSITIVE on Gun Shot Residue Test.

“Rudy says Doleman did it.”Doleman is a Black Man, and Scott Jackson is white. Rudy Powell on 17 August 1994 mentioned Scott Jackson, was immediately silenced byDetective James Bailous, whose wife is first cousins with John Doleman.

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST Jeff Washington, THUS A FALSE ALFORD PLEA…U.S. supreme Court TWO-PART TEST:

(1) Evidence against the accused, and(2) Competent Counsel.

Based on this case review, of MANY “JW NOT GUILTY” witnesses, WHY did Defense Counsel Prosser brow-beat Mrs. Washington to BEG her son Jeff to take the Alford Plea of Paul Thomson? Is such behavior “Competent Counsel”??

“Scott gave $1500 cash in envelope to Carlos” is MORE data than either Rudy Powell stated in Police Interview of 17 August 1994, or Carlos girlfriend, Kristin Black interview with Police on 23 August 1994.Where did Prosser come up with the “extra” insider facts?
