"LAW? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' LAW!" SAYS CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER!

Presented below are some (but not all) of the holdings of appellate courts, including the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, that TOTALLY CORRUPT JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER SIMPLY IGNORED AT TRIAL, EVEN THOUGHT PROVIDED WITH THESE VERY CASES IN PLEADINGS BY DEFENSE COUNSEL.


As usual, Salisbury wrote no briefs in opposition, and never once cited a controlling case authority during this purported trial, COMPELLING EVIDENCE THAT HOLMAN OWNS COLLIER AND CAN RELY ON COLLIER TO DO HIS BIDDING, WELL OUTSIDE THE FRAMEWORK OF THE LAW. 


I suspect that COLLIER was watching TV re-runs of Judge Judy, rather than reading the briefs of defense counsel which advanced the controlling law.  But then again, COLLIER doesn't need to read NO STINKIN' LAW!






Collier’s rulings ignored and contravened the prevailing law, including precedents and holdings of the United States Supreme Court, despite having been fully briefed on the law by defense counsel. 

The prosecutor cited no law during these proceedings. Following are some, but not all, of the cases that Collier, despite having been fully briefed on them, simply ignored in “fixing” this case for the county prosecutor:

Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 635 (1886)
         - “Constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. *** It is the duty of the courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.

Pointer v. Texas, 380 U.S. 400, 403-406 (1965)
         - The right of cross-examination, guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, is a fundamental right essential to a fair trial

Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961)
         - Evidence seized in violation of the Fourth Amendment is not admissible at trial

Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573, 586 (1980)
         - “When police conduct a warrantless search, the state bears the burden of establishing the validity of the search.

Washington v. Texas, 388 U.S.14 (1967)
         - Sixth Amendment right of a defendant to compulsory process extends to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment

Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 61-62 (2004)
         -  “The Confrontation Clause commands, not that the evidence be reliable, but that reliability be assessed in a particular manner: by testing in the crucible of cross-examination.

Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 315-318 (1974)
         - Denial of the “right of effective cross-examination” is “constitutional error of the first magnitude” requiring automatic reversal

Sparf v. United States, 156 U.S. 51 (1895)
         - It is the duty of the court (not the prosecutor) to expound the law, and the jury to apply the facts to the law, otherwise the stability of justice and personal rights are jeopardized

Brown v. Payton, 544 U.S. 133 (2005)
         - “It is…elementary law, federal and state, that the judge bears ultimate responsibility for instructing a lay jury in the law.”

Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963)
         - State’s obligation to disclose information and evidence favorable to the defendant

United States v. Agurs, 427 U.S. 97, 104 (1976)
         - “… the Court has consistently held that a conviction obtained by the knowing use of perjured testimony is fundamentally unfair,[Footnote 8] and must be set aside if there is any reasonable likelihood that the false testimony could have affected the judgment of the jury.”


United States v. Agurs, 427 U.S. 97, Fn 7 (1976), citing Mooney v. Holohan, 294 U.S. 103

         - Due process of law “cannot be deemed to be satisfied by mere notice and hearing if a state has contrived a conviction through the pretense of a trial which in truth is but used as a means of depriving a defendant of liberty through a deliberate deception of court and jury by the presentation of testimony known to be perjured. Such a contrivance by a state to procure the conviction and imprisonment of a defendant is an inconsistent with the rudimentary demands of justice as is the obtaining of a like result by intimidation.”

United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, Fn 8 (1985)
         - “…the Brady rule has its roots in a series of cases dealing with convictions based on the prosecution's knowing use of perjured testimony. In Mooney v. Holohan, (1935), the Court established the rule that the knowing use by a state prosecutor of perjured testimony to obtain a conviction and the deliberate suppression of evidence that would have impeached and refuted the testimony constitutes a denial of due process.”

Hoffa v. United States, 385 U.S. 293, 307 (1966)]
         - Government invasion of the defense camp compels conviction to be set aside as constitutionally defective

Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 241 (1983)
         - Probable cause, to be determined on the totality of the circumstances, requires corroboration of a tip by independent police work/investigation

Whiteley v. Warden, 401 U.S. 560 (1971)
         - Criminal complaint not setting out a statement of essential facts does not pass constitutional muster

Davis v. Mississippi, 394 U.S. 721, 724 (1969)
         - There is no exception to the rule that evidence seized in violation of the Fourth Amendment is inadmissible at trial

Gray v. Mississippi, 481 U.S. 648, 668 (1987)
         - “We have recognized that "some constitutional rights [are] so basic to a fair trial that their infraction can never be treated as harmless  error." Chapman v. California, 386 U.S., at 23. The right to an impartial adjudicator, be it judge or jury, is such a right.

Old Chief v. United States, 519 U.S. 172, 172-173 (1997)
         - “As to a criminal defendant, Rule 403's term "unfair prejudice" speaks to the capacity of some concededly relevant evidence to lure the factfinder into declaring guilt on an improper basis rather than on proof specific to the offense charged. Such improper grounds certainly include generalizing from a past bad act that a defendant is by propensity the probable perpetrator of the current crime. Thus, Rule 403 requires that the relative probative value of prior-conviction evidence be balanced against its prejudicial risk of misuse. A judge  should balance these factors not only for the item in question but also for any actually available substitutes. If an alternative were found to have substantially the same or greater probative value but a lower danger of unfair prejudice, sound judicial discretion would discount the value of the item first offered and exclude it if its discounted probative value were substantially outweighed by unfairly prejudicial risk. Pp. 180-185.”

Davis v. Washington, 547 U.S. 813, at 14 (2006)
         - “Through the in limine procedure, the (courts) should redact or exclude the portions of any statement that have become testimonial, as they do, for example, with unduly prejudicial portions of otherwise admissible evidence.

Trammel v. United States, 445 U.S. 40 (1980)
         - Individual cannot be compelled to testify against a spouse

Pennsylvania v. Ritchie, 480 U.S. 39, at syllabus ¶ 2
         - “Criminal defendants have the right under the Compulsory Process Clause to the government’s assistance in compelling the attendance of favorable witnesses at trial, and the right to put before a jury evidence that might influence the determination of guilt.

Holloway v. Florida, 449 U.S. 905, 907 (1980)
         - “Thus the Court more than once has expressed the understanding
that a lesser-included-offense (instruction) minimizes the risk of undermining the reasonable-doubt standard.


Sansone v. United States, 330 U.S. 343, 349 (1965)
         - “In a case where some elements of the crime charged themselves constitute a lesser crime, if the evidence justified it, would no doubt be entitled to an instruction which would permit a finding of guilt of the lesser offense.

State v. Morris, 2007-Ohio-3591, at ¶ 37
         - In the prosecution for alleged violations of 2911.11 ORC, “due process requires that the particularized nature of the accused’s conduct includes the behavior that demonstrates he committed an underlying offense.

State v. Hous, 2004-Ohio-666, at ¶ 11
         -  “…jury instructions given at the end of a trial cannot relate back to give an accused adequate notice of the charges against which an accused must defend….

State v. Hubbard, 2004-Ohio-5204, at ¶ 6
         - “Under Evid.R. 602, a witness may testify only to those matters of which he has personal knowledge…gained through firsthand observation or experience and actually perceived the subject matter of his testimony.

State v. Taylor, (1993) 66 Ohio St. 3d 295, 300-301
         - “For a purported excited utterance to be admissible there must 


have been: …(4) the declarant must have personally observed the event.

Cox v. Oliver Machinery Co., (1987) 41 Ohio App. 3d 28, at 35-36
         - “The key to the statement’s trustworthiness is the spontaneity of
the statement, either contemporaneous with the event or immediately          thereafter.

State v. Mitchell, 2007-Ohio-1696, at ¶ 19
         - “The Ohio Supreme Court has recently affirmed that recordings of 911 calls that were made to avoid immediate danger are not testimonial and do not violate the Confrontation Clause when the declarant is not available to testify at trial.”

State v. Henness (1997), 79 Ohio St. 3d 53, ¶ 1 of the syllabus
         - “…the testifying spouse remains incompetent *** until she makes a deliberate choice to testify, with knowledge of her right to refuse. The trial court must take an active role in determining competency, and must make an affirmative determination on the record that the spouse has elected to testify.

State v. Hunt (1994), 97 Ohio App. 3d 372, holding that a cross-examiner may not make testimonial assertions under the pretext of asking a question

You will note that I have cited 32 appellate cases above, just a fraction of the cases briefed to COLLIER by defense counsel, and precisely 32 appellate cases more than Salisbury cited at trial!

Of the 32 cases cited above, 24 of the cases cited here were decided by the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

Were it not for the fact that COLLIER is COMPLETELY CORRUPT, one might be led to believe that COLLIER lacks the fundamental ability to read with comprehension!

THE FACT THAT THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT HAS DECIDED ISSUES THAT COLLIER HAD PURPOSELY DECIDED WRONGLY MEANS THAT COLLIER HAS FORSAKEN A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO FOLLOW THEM, SINCE THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY THE LAW OF THE LAND. 

COLLIER, HOWEVER, IN COMPLETELY IGNORING THE HOLDINGS OF THE SUPREME COURT WITH THE INTENT TO RAILROAD AN INNOCENT MAN TO PRISON, CONTINUED TO PRESERVE HIS GRIP ON HIS LIFETIME, UNOPPOSED APPOINTMENT TO THE MEDINA COUNTY BENCH, COMPLIMENTS OF CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY DEM PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN. 

MUCH MORE TO COME ....
