In federal court the conviction rate is 98%. That means even if you are wrongly charged and innocent you only have a 2% chance of being found "Not Guilty".
In Federal Court the Prosecutors have quota's they must make, not only for convictions but also for forfeitures of property.
The Prosecutors (AUSA's) in Federal court have a lot of power!
They control attorneys, the Marshall's, Agents in the FBI, the Warden at the Prison, the Judges, the detectives bringing them the cases, and even the defendants.
With all that power one might even wonder if there is really a 2% chance for the wrongly accused to be found "not guilty"?
What if you also add in the potential for corrupt behavior that can develop with so much power? Years of working with; and controlling the same attorneys and affiliates begins to create a network of individuals that owe each other favors, scratch each others backs, and even allows for situations where blackmail and kickbacks can enter into the picture.
In Federal court the charges are much more serious and the rules are broader for conviction.
If you are a defendant in Federal court with only a 2% chance, would you want your attorney to have to sign a contract with the prosecutor promising not to show you your discovery?
Would you feel comfortable putting your life, your freedom, your reputation and everything you own in the hands of an attorney that is willing to sign an agreement with the Prosecutor not to show you any of the evidence against you, and not to allow you to have in your possession any of the evidence being held against you?
You see nothing!
What if all the evidence is just fabricated garbage, and in reality the prosecutor has no evidence against you? What if she is just needing to do a favor for someone, or helping someone teach you a lesson because you pissed someone off in the Lawrence Kansas police department? What if in return for the favor of putting you away, she gets to keep the Property that she has liens and forfeitures against?
This sounds more like racketeering rather than Justice!
Kansas Department Of Justice Prosecuting attorney Terra Morehead has found a way to control the attorneys in order to accomplish just that! We have not found another Prosecutor at a Federal level outside of this Justice Department making attorneys sign such a contract.
By getting attorneys to agree to her contract she can control them and their clients. Here is the signature Page of the contract that a Public Defender that will be defending a client against Terra Morehead in Federal court must sign! To protect the identity of the source of this contract the names have been blackened out. I wonder if anybody has ever been found "not guilty" in this Corrupt Department of Justice?
