E. A Portion of The Suppression Hearing
Testimony of
Inspector
Hartman Was Deleted From the Transcript.
On August 21, 2009, Inspector Hartman testified in the
first session of a four-part suppression hearing. As defense counsel was examining Inspector
Hartman, the assistant prosecutor repeatedly interrupted and attempted to speak
over defense counsel, inappropriate courtroom demeanor, to say the least. On more than one occasion, the trial judge
unsuccessfully ordered assistant prosecutor Scott Salisbury to be silent as
defense counsel stated her position.
Nevertheless, the prosecutor continued his rants and failed to yield
either to the judge or defense counsel.
All the while, assistant prosecutor Matthew [MUSTAFAH FAOUQUOD] Razavi, who had been seated
in the gallery, had been repeatedly signaling the judge with “thumbs up.”
Eventually, the trial judge showed signs of anger, having
been unable to restrain the prosecutor [SCOTT SLEAZEBURY] who was by now completely out of
control.
During the entirety of the exchange between defense
counsel, the prosecutor, and the judge, Inspector Hartman sat silently and
patiently in the witness stand. The
trial judge eventually stated “Everybody kind of back off a little bit; just a
little bit.”
The judge then turned to Inspector Hartman, glared at him,
and stated, “You too.”
Then the judge glared once again at Inspector Hartman and shouted angrily
to him, “Get out of here!” The judge then ended the hearing, given
the fact that the prosecutor had no witnesses available and was unprepared to
meet his burden.
The inappropriate and unprofessional remarks of judge
Collier are nowhere to be founding the transcript of the suppression hearing
and have been deliberately deleted
from the “official” record. A copy of
Inspector Hartman’s August 2, 2011 Affidavit detailing the deletions of the
judge’s remarks from the record, previously filed as an attachment to
Defendant’s August 4, 2011 Petitioner’s
Motion to Correct Transcripts, is attached as Exhibit Ten.
