Why Five years for a Trial, Not Guilty Verdicts in Abington Virginia Terror Trial Are Snag for U.S. Page1

Herbert G Evans Jr. wins his Case, his Freedom and Battle against the False Charges Of Convicted Convicts, U.S. Government and FBI Hebert Evans Jr. was falsely accused of being a terrorist!!!

November 15, 2007 , As the Jury asked their one question of the court, "Why has it taken Five years to give this man his trial?" And then return their Not Guilty verdict for the 79 Year old Mr. Evans
Abington Virginia, Nov. 14th - In a 2nd major crushing loss Government prosecutors which pursued Mr. Evans conviction for five years, a jury in Abington Virginia failed to return guilty verdict Wednesday on a criminal charge against a 79 Year old Military Veteran; an innocent man falsely accused of being a terrorist!!!
How that could have happened to a 79 year old, US Military Veteran? A USA 20 year Veteran Falsely Accused Of Terrorism!!!

Mr. Evans 74 year old retired Military veteran went to the Rural Development Agency (RDA) office in Wytheville, Virginia, in November 2002, complain about a wrong past due note on a housing loan, "Evans became "extremely angry and loud" according to the clerk at a (RDA) with whom he spoke and allegedly made threats involving terrorist acts with chemical and biological weapons."

Mr. Evans was imprisoned for five years after being falsely accused of being a terrorist, a misdemeanor charge of "Forcibly, assaulting, resisting or impeding" a federal USDA employee under 18 U.S.C.A. 111(a) (1) with a maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment. ... After Five Years a Abington Virginia court found Mr. Evans not guilty

Then Judge informed the Jury that it wasn't their concern on "Why has it has taken Five years to give this man his trial?" in delivering their verdict. But ultimately, the jury in Abington Virginia that heard the case found him not guilty of the alleged charge of "Forcibly, assaulting, resisting or impeding" a federal USDA employee,

As well as in a previous trial on 24th September 2007 in Abington VA where another Jury team returned a not guilty verdict "As the Judge told the Jury you should be Proud and hold Heads up , no greater honor" for their leadership who deliberated only 10mins and entered a Verdict of NOT Guilty to a 2nd felony charge For the 79 year Old Mr. Evans,

The Jury heard the real truth that Mr. Evans actual did not "Forcibly, assault" the federal USDA employee nor threaten any one but simply went and proofed with receipts from his payments to the USDA who is supposed to supply housing to low income veterans like Mr. Evans, the RDA had in deed tried to foreclose on his house with several errors they had made in house payments he was just trying to protect his home his castle, Mr. Evans Falsely Accused Of Terrorism now another US innocent victim of the Sept. 11 attacks; the fact that someone is accused by the Bush administration of being a terrorist does not, in fact, mean that they are a "terrorist."

"The Jury "The real Americans", to say categorically that there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Evans has committed any offense or that his activities constitute a threat neither to the security of USA nor to the Rural Development Agency (RDA) office in Wytheville, Virginia.

It looks like the US Government have managed to persecute an innocent 79 year old, US Military Veteran , and that the terrorists have won another minor victory - this is not acceptable, and the politicians who are responsible must act to remedy this situation. The tragedy of the violation of a human's rights, 5 years of 79 year old Veterans life gone, now having to start over again after losing ever thing he worked for.

Herbert G Evans Jr. wins his Case, his Freedom and Battle Page 2
Against the False Charges Of Convicted Convicts, U.S. Government and FBI

Evans thrilled over his freedom and victory proudly stands between his two Public Defenders you battled and won against The US Government and FBI on 24th September 2007 in Abington VA,

24th September 2007 in Abington VA , Evans freedom and victory was due to The Public Defender's fight to expose the truth about Two convicted convicts; who were convicted of selling OxyContin and possessing Firearms with more than 20 year sentences facing each of them, were working as Government/FBI informants and were Conspiring with the FBI in order to have there sentences reduced by John L. Brownlee, United States Attorney , Randy Ramseyer Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia, in which the Two convicts; Conspired and falsely claiming as well as accusing that a 79 year Old retired Military Veteran Mr. Evans, wanted to kill a Federal Judge, in order for the Two convicts to have their more than 20 year sentences reduced.

"I applaud the patriotism of public defenders and especially the Jury team "As the Judge told the Jury you should be Proud and hold Heads up , no greater honor" for their leadership who deliberated only 10mins and entered a Verdict of NOT Guilty to felony charge For the 79 year Old Mr. Evans, as well as the Public Defenders the late Monroe Jamison , Nancy Dickenson and Public Defenders Investigator Gina Humphrey ; that worked so hard over the past five years to investigate this complex criminal Government conspiracy scheme and uncover the truth of the false imprisonment of Mr. Evans as well as bring the wrongdoers to justice."

"I commend the highly qualified team of Public Defenders and investigator from the Western District of Virginia, for developing a defense and exposing the false imprisonment of Mr. Evans, that addresses the criminal violations falsification of the Two convicts, ensures strict compliance in the future, and serves as a strong warning to the Government Informants' who may consider illegally conspiring against innocent people to further their cases"

"The convicted criminal's falsification of information and Government conspiracy is a very serious breach of the public's trust in Judicial System. Today's Not Guilty plea marked a significant milestone in the fight against Government and FBI corruption by Convicts and FBI Informants' who seek reduce sentences , as well as to illegally enrich OxyContin type corporate profits at taxpayers' expense"

This Not Guilty Verdict for MR. Evans; demonstrate Public Defenders steadfast resolve to investigate any individuals who would defraud Justice System, such as the Government/FBI convicted convicts informants, which were Conspiring with the FBI in order to have there sentences reduced . The Public Defenders are committed to working with other law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Attorney to fight this type of Government and FBI corruption as well as the false imprisonment innocent people such as MR
Evans.

The fact that, Mr. Evans was found not guilty; tells me that our freedom and liberty are still intact "thanks to power f the people". And that the 20 years he spent in the Air force and Army defending the Bill of Rights" your rights" founding forefathers' Constitution, Was not wasted service time for my country. "The American creed of freedom, liberty and justice for all!!!!"
Thank you for your unending public service and my Freedom and Victory, Thank you for taking over my case and for getting my Life, Freedom and Family Back; Herbert G Evans Jr. and Family

Where Is the American Freedom, "The Star-Spangled Banner?" The Freedom it represents, land of the free , the blessings of liberty, In a 5 year Fourth Circuit case, United States v. Evans shows the ludicrousness that attaches to the prosecution of crime when criminal intent is disregarded.

Mr. Evans 74 year old veteran went to the Rural Development Agency office to complain about a wrong past due notes on a USDA housing loan, Evans became upset and angry with a clerk at a (RDA). Evans advised them that he was not attempting to threaten the employee, but instead "the system."

He has already lost 5 years of his life, his Social Security Benefits, his personal property, his savings and his home in VA. In which the Rural Development Agency (RDA) office in Wytheville, Virginia auctioned off in April 2006.

Abominable conditions of Evans confinement; Spending 1, 778 days of his life lost in the system!
Evans case was in limbo for 5 years now, awaiting what the last step his freedom; Evans now 79 years and was just released from prison on 26th September 2007, and now finally free on the 14th of November 2007.
New River Jail: Mr. Evans placed in a prison Pod (no larger than a court room) with 112 inmates, where sleep on the floor four months and where the Two convicts were working as Government/FBI informants; Conspired with the FBI falsely claiming as well as accusing that a 79 year Old retired Military Veteran Mr. Evans, wanted to kill a Federal Judge, in order for the Two convicts to have their more than 20 year sentences reduced.
Bristol Jail, Virginia: Evans has held in isolation at the Bristol Jail, Virginia for most 2004 & 2005 in solitary confinement in his 5 x 8 ft concrete cell for 24 hours a day, where he shredded news papers into 15 inch squares pads woven together and stacks the woven pads on top of each other in order to elevate his swollen feet to reduce the swelling from where he suffers from diabetes, poor circulation, High blood pressure and very little exercise.. Also Evans described in letters from where he was held at Bristol Jail, Virginia of where a young 19 year boy hung himself in his cell which had a 7/24 hr surveillance camera.

Roanoke City Jail, VA: In letters from Evans, where he spent most of 2006 and the first part of 2007, in solitary confinement at the Roanoke City Jail, VA. Where Evans describes mistreatment being like torture, verbally harassed on his cell intercom, scalded, humiliated, brutalized by six guards and showered soaked in his cell, while the guards allowed other inmates to throw water in cell for 4 weeks during Christmas and the new year, as well as Evans reports that he was totally confined to cell in February2007 with out privileges' to shower nor shave, in a way that sounds (reminiscent of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.)

Conclusion

"Bush World Order" American Freedom to Fascism nation, transgression to presidential dictatorship of the Soviet and Nazi Era as well as Government operated under the illusion of freedom."

I am distressed and disgusted by the actions of the Bush government, and yes Evans had been wrongfully incarcerated for 5 years.

In his fight of injustice with his interest and protection of his mental as well as his bodily integrity where the relationship between the right to be free from torture and the right to freedom of thought as well as to clear his self of the allegations (alleged misdemeanor charge and alleged Charge "threatening life of a judge via an informant to the government), in his fight to shed more light on the unjust nature of the whole legal system in an unfair system that would rubber stamp the charges without question?

Are the erosion of fundamental Constitutional Rights, human rights and the civil liberties occurring in the United States of America, Freedom to Fascism? Psychiatrists were frequently employed by the Communist Soviet Union to forcibly drug any citizen, to cover up mayhem, where dissidents were often declared insane, then drugged and imprisoned in psychiatric hospitals prisons to keep them quiet to silence critics, but Evans an veteran who severed in Strategic Air Command and who fought against the communists in WWII, Korea and Vietnam never expected such tactics to be used by our own government.

For speaking his mind "He stated that the United States was heading towards communism and was not a free nation any longer." As well as voicing his opinion, could be deemed subversive and mental your condition questioned by the Government. Which now can get you long terns in prison these days as in the sorry methods of our government as it plays games with American citizens., the rightist of the right-wing courts, upheld Evans detention, much as they had done in the numerous case before and increasing case now, as Evans has learned over 5 years of incarceration, the government civics lesion of this present Administration, thinks it can walk all over the Bill of Rights" your rights" and get away with it. When one plot fails, they have another up their sleeves. And when they run out of tricks, they turn their energies to making a criminal case against you, all in the great cause of liberty and justice for all.

" AT THE HEART OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH LIES THE RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST ABUSE AND TO VOICE UNPOPULAR AND EVEN POLITICALLY IN CORRECT OPINIONS"

Evans has already lost 5 years of his life, his Social Security Benefits, his personal property, his home and his savings. Yes Maybe Mr. Evans alleged Comments were right, "the government was out to get him" as well as his comment to the RDA agent "He stated that the United States was heading towards communism and was not a free nation any longer."

Is there no accountability for this type of Bush government and the federal judiciary that enforces the government's political agenda politics, transgression to Soviet and Nazi Era? Instead of investigating and punishing the real criminals… murderers, thieves, rapists, federal officials are moving heaven and earth to avoid a public trial that should expose the fact that a man has been held in prison so long without a trial for speaking his mind, "United States was heading towards communism." With blessing of the court, they can force an individual with whatever potion MIND-ALTERING DRUGS the government's doctors wish to use to experiment with, in an attempt to mold a person's will to the government's purposes.

Of course, most of us realize that injustice like this happens in third world dictatorships, but this is happening right now in the United States.
Apparently, attempting to maintain the appearance of a fair judicial system is more important than the fundamental right to a fair trial. It appears to be an example of an abuse of power and judicial corruption.

Is there justice for all in the United States of America, or just courts that do the bidding of the connected?
You be the judge.

"America should applaud the real patriotism of public defenders and especially the Jury team "The Public Defenders who delivered there two major crushing losses to the Government prosecutors; The Public Defenders that worked so hard over the past five years to investigate this complex criminal Government conspiracy scheme and uncover the truth of the false imprisonment of Mr. Evans as well as bring the wrongdoers to justice."

Unfortunately, there remains a number of World War 2 veterans who haven't received any support from the US Government, specifically from the Philippines. It's sad that these veterans who have fought up to now for their rights, are already starting to die one by one due to old age and sickness. They may be Filipinos, but remember that they too fought for America. Give what is due.
