About Me
NOTE: The original charge (18 USC 371) the U.S. Government illegally took me from my home in Belize was dropped by the Government. To get the nightmare over I agree to pleas guilty to one count of making a false statement. It was my agreement I would receive probation and be sentenced with in 90 days according to the federal rules of procedure.
I was finally sentenced 2.5 years after my guilty plea. To increase my sentence Judge Norton wrote an order declaring that Kazakhstan was a party to the Hague in 2008 therefor all adoptions the agency had conducted starting in 2008 should have been done under the Hague Convention. This was and still is applying the law ex post facto. Kazakstan was not a party to the Hague Convention until May 2012, therefore the increase in my sentence was based on an incorrect interpretation of the law. I was sentenced me to 18 months in prison and restitution for adoptions that were done correctly. A copy of his order #249 showing his wrongful application of the Hague laws. You can find a history of adoption laws from Kazakhstan on the Dept. of State website as well as here. To date there have been zero adoptions conducted under the Hague Convention Rules between the U.S. and Kazakhstan. I believe Judge Norton was mistaken about the law due to proctorial misconduct. The prosecutors kept telling the judge that Kazakhstan was a Hague Country. It was in 2017 when they were telling the judge but it was not in 2008 to May 2012 when the adoptions in question were conducted. This is just one example how federal prosecutors can twist the truth.
"The hardest thing I had to learn while being prosecuted for a white collar crime is the "big lie" propaganda technique. This technique is widely used in the criminal justice system. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." Tell the public and/or court information over and over then quote your past statements and refer to those statements as the truth and soon everyone will believe you.
The 2nd hardest thing I had to learn is the concept of Prosecutorial immunity. Prosecutors have absolute immunity in the United States. Prosecutors cannot face civil lawsuits for prosecutorial abuses, no matter how severe. There are exceptions but rarely enforced. See Sidney Powell's comments on this and read her book Licensed To Lie.

My StoryMy story is about a prosecution gone wildly wrong. It is about a political agenda to shut down international adoptions, an overzealous prosecutor, prosecutorial misconduct and more...
