The great Thomas Paine warned us this would happen...... #criminal_justice_reform_now

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. 

                                                                              ------  Thomas Paine

I ran across this quote a few days ago and can't help but think how much of a harbinger it actually was way back then. it is a perfect warning of what can happen and go wrong in our justice system. My case is a perfect example of this quote. 

I was given 55 years aggravated for aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon. Aggravated assault means you have committed "serious bodily injury". In other words, someone is seriously hurt really bad, in order to get this great charge. But in my case, no cops were ever so much as even touched! Where is the "serious bodily injury" at? They say, I was gonna "attempt" to "try" and "point" 2 shotguns "while handcuffed " behind my back from a small closet, where it would have been "impossible", to have even turned the barrel of a shotgun to actually point it... "especially impossible", while being handcuffed behind my back, and then you have 2 shotguns that don't belong to me, and that don't have my fingerprints on them. I ask you all reading this today: is this not stretching the laws of an aggravated assault? Keep in mind, no cops were ever so much as touched by me. All I did was run from them. No injuries to them whatsoever, yet I was still charged and actually convicted  of a real aggravated assault causing "serious bodily injury" and given a 55 year sentence for this! If you don't believe me, just look into my case (see www.gofundme.com/ctlatinojr or www.ctlatinojr.info). Why am I being charged with "their" thought crime? Because it is a thought, their "thought crime" that this has been accomplished, I did not commit no serious bodily injury, therefore the only way to convict me on something like this is to have stretched and miss applied the laws here, just like fore-father Thomas Paine warned everyone of hundreds of years ago. This is becoming "thought crimes".

I can remember at my trial in the voir dire part when the district attorney over this trial, told all the potential jury members that he didn't want any "free thinkers" on his jury, now why would he not want anyone to think for themselves? Ladies and gentlemen reading this today, this case of mine is a text book 101, on Thomas Paine's quote, from years ago, warning us on what can go wrong, when prosecutors are allowed to stretch and miss apply the law. In my case, it is clear that I did not commit any aggravated assault with serious bodily injuries, yet I have been convicted of one anyways, through a loaded jury and a prosecution that stretched and misinterpreted the laws. I desperately need help exposing this, therefore I am pleading for the whole worlds help with this. Let's start up a conversation on this and Thomas Paine's quote becoming true. Let's challenge these thought crimes that are taking place, before they graduate. Lets use my case to get started, anyone who will look into my case will see that not only did I not do this, but even if I could have, it would have been impossible, yet I am still in prison over this 10 years later. In the interest of justice, please someone look into this I pray. Thank you so much and please share this blog as much as you can.

Thank you
