J.  The Trial Testimony of Roy “Al” Leighton Was Materially Altered.

Judge Collier deliberately and unlawfully made material alterations to the cross- examination trial testimony of Roy “Al” Leighton, a State’s witness.  Judge Collier deleted those portions of the record where he stopped and prevented defense counsel from fully and fairly cross-examining Mr. Leighton.

Once again, Mr. Hartman’s post-trial motions provided a roadmap for the material alterations the judge made in an attempt to deprive Mr. Hartman of a fair hearing on appeal.

In his December 7, 2009 Additional Authorities brief, at Pages 34-35, Mr. Hartman memorialized Judge Collier’s interference with defense counsel’s full and fair cross-examination of Mr. Leighton:

When defense counsel asked Mr. Leighton to confirm that he had advised deputies that there was no burglary of his home, the Court did not allow the witness to answer and prevented defense counsel from pursuing this line of questioning.

The Court prevented defense counsel from cross-examining Al Leighton regarding the statements he made to sheriffs’ deputies at his home, the scene of the alleged offense on May 27, 2009.  Specifically, Mr. Leighton informed sheriffs’ deputies that Matthew had not burglarized his home and that he did not wish to pursue criminal charges against Matthew.  The defense was also stifled from eliciting additional exculpatory testimony from Mr. Leighton regarding information he provided to Deputies Clinage and Telatko on May 29, 2009, when they conducted an additional interview of him at his home.

The Court also prevented defense counsel from cross-examining Mr. Leighton as to his known prior traumatic brain injury and the manner in which such injury may have affected his sensory abilities to perceive and process events and information. Such cross-examination was relevant for the jury to assess Mr. Leighton’s ability and inability to remember events and conversations accurately.

A complete, thorough, and diligent review of the testimony of Mr. Leighton given during cross-examination, found at Pages 227-265 of the corrupted “official” transcript discloses that the attempts by defense counsel to cross-examine Mr. Leighton about his statements to sheriffs’ deputies at the scene of arrest, including his statement to them that Mr. Hartman had not burglarized his home, and attempts to inquire as to Mr. Leighton’s traumatic brain injury, have been deliberately deleted from the transcript.

A copy of Pages 34-35, taken from Mr. Hartman’s December 7, 2009 Additional Authorities brief, is attached as Exhibit Seventeen.
