Corruption in Oregon "Justice" System
As many of our viewers may well know, Oklevueha Native American Church have been suffering some pretty serious victimization at the hands of Oregon government, especially since the filing of our injunction and lawsuit against the federal government at the beginning of this year, but what many of us have seemingly overlooked, including we the people who reside in the state, is the depth of corruption that has in turn become unavoidable for seeing as our members victimization intensely continues under the guise of "Justice" within the Judaical branch of their government's system, and damn it we Will be the ones to expose it as well as at the Front lines demanding proper change.
As two of the ONAC KM members face criminal prosecution for nothing more than being honorable people, even by societies as well as the states "legal" definition, one member being deprived of "Due Process" among other things within the judicial system of the Oregon court system, assigned "Court Appointed Legal Counsel" but who continues to be deprived as well as being juggled around instead of receiving his entitlement of and To such counsel, has ultimately led to the light of truth being shined within the "Public Defense" system of Oregon's judicial branch of government, and rising alarming questions to say the least.
The road leading us to this all begins with the common practice of a court arraignment proceeding within the Marion County Oregon's Circuit Court, when two church members who were acting in nothing other than complete "Self Defense" as defined within state law, were instead charged and then arraigned on "Assault" charges. Now, before conclusions are jumped to, it should be known that the church members did not according to definition of state law commit any crime, including "Assault" against anyone, in fact, the facts and eye witness accounts prove quite the contrary, but ultimately because the Oregon ONAC church, Kautantowit's Mecautea, or "ONAC KM" as they're best known and referred to as have been suffering such extreme and illegal retaliation attacks by Oregon "legal representative agencies" such as this court, ultimately have found some rather damning information proving the depth of such corruption far within the state of Oregon's legal system that Needs to be known by the masses if positive correction is ever to be had.
As this member was out-right deprived of his right to consult with his "Court-Appointed counsel" and a complaint was drafted and lodged with the state BAR association, a rather shocking and yet amazing fact was found in that the "Public Defenders" resource option as assigned by the presiding judges of the court, is in fact a "Contract" had between the state of Oregon and (get this), a Privately Owned Corporation! Yes, you read that right, we said that the Public Defenders are in all truth and actuality a Privately Owned company who is Contracted with the state judicial branch of government, meaning in lamens terms, that the state of Oregon has officially privitized and ultimately De-railed any hope of concept of "Justice" within their legal system of government!
Our primary sign of proof was found when a formal complaint was filed against Ms. Julia Hyde, a rather commonly found "Court Appointed attorney" within the Circuit Court of Marion County, Oregon. In order to file the complaint, certain information such as her address had to be obtained - no big deal most would think, but as it would be discovered as well as confirmed by the court itself via they allowing a "co-worker" attorney to officially Withdrawl as the members counsel on the grounds of his complaint against her "co-worker", created a "Conflict of Interest" to which ultimately the court agreed and relieved her from the case.
For any who wish to confirm this fact for themselves, you are encouraged to go to the Oregon Secretary of State's page and do a what they call an "Assumed Business" name search for: PUBLIC DEFENDER OF MARION COUNTY INC., all capitol letters as we Are talking about a business entity afterall. What you will find is two names that pop up, on being: MARION COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER, INC. which shows as "Inactive" but yet "Current" and then the one we're focused on which is listed as both "Active" and "Current". We encourage all our readers to click on and explore both, but ultimately we redirect your attention to the company at hand as it's they who are currently contracted to profit off of the guise of their being actual justice within the state's judicial branch of government.
Here is the direct link for our readers convenience
When you click onto the link for this company, you will find three people named as being the structural foundation for the company - the registered agent, president, and too, a secretary. The state requires at least One of these three positions for all businesses established within the state of Oregon... this company has all three, though it appears as though their president has changed occupants since the formulation of this company.
Let us focus our attention for a moment specifically upon the companies "registered Agent" beings it's they who ultimately are the representative figurehead of the company, which in this case is a woman named Ms. Jessica Kampfe. A brief google search of Kampfe reveals that she has been a practicing attorney for a grand total of 8 years, and to quote her via avvo.com, "She thinks that being a public defender is the most fun that anyone could have while practicing law."
Jessica Kampfe's "official title" according to the search results on avvo.com states that she is "The assistant executive director and a trial attorney with the Public Defender of Marion County", though they seem to have left off the "Inc." confirming that it is through a private company to publicly inquiring minds, especially those thinking that Public Defenders, especially those appointed by courts are actually focused on justice rather than profits.
We say this because of our next point of issue as well as concern, the point of "court-appointed" legal counsel.
Most people who are asked as to who if any would or should be appointed legal counsel by the court are quick to respond something to the point of "Indigent people", meaning people "Who cannot afford an attorney themselves", in fact, that is exactly how the Miranda Rights are still currently read to suspects facing criminal charges and possible prosecution within the state's legal system: "If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you." To most, such a statement would mean that a person who needed but couldn't afford an attorney's help in preparing a defensive position within their judicial system would be Given an attorney Without charge to aid in their representation, right... WRONG.
As it turns out as seen in the case of the churches one member Michael Minter, not only was he assigned an attorney by the court whose company refused to let her handle, but a BILL has been issued to Mr. Minter for approximately $405.00 for the attorney's "services" which ultimately were refused and deprived being given him! The frustration that resulted from such the situation ultimately led to ONAC church leaders trying to find proper resolution for the members situation. Among the coarses of action was a formal filing against the original court appointed attorney, Ms. Julia Hyde for failing to do her duties as a court appointed counsel. Though Ms. Taylor knew and acknowledged having been appointed Mr. Minter's counsel, her "Company" ultimately Refused to allow her to do her court-appointed job, ultimately in turn, breeching her contract with the courts as well as the assigned client.
How it is that a company feels they have the right to over-rule a direct order from a residing judge of the state court is beyond questionable in itself, the fact that they in turn decided to assign another of her "co-workers" who ultimately too would "bow out" of representing the case nor helping the client on the grounds of him not tolerating Ms. Taylor "Not doing her job" as being "A conflict of Interest" intensifies the situation to the level of alarming.
What with a "Bill" already entered in and part of the official case still tormenting the church member, combined with the fact that not only she but her co-worker neither will actually handle the case still at hand, one wonders where such a position would then leave an alledged "defendent" in the Oregon criminal justice system, I mean what with the state's "Public Defenders" being a privately owned company who now proclaim themselves to have a "Conflict of interest" as a whole for one employee Not doing their Job, what happens next?
Apparently as it would turn out, the clients "case" would be thrown out onto some sort of attorney table pool and either "grabbed" by a pro-bono attorney, or left stagnet, which as no surprise to Oklevueha Native American Church leaders, both ultimately has happened to the case involving our member Mr. Minter.
The "Public Defender" companies Second attorney that They assigned to Mr. Minters case, an attorney named Ms. Shannon Douglass, who actually seemed willing to put forth a positive effort in fulfuulling her companies contract agreement with the court and state but whom ultimately was stopped yet Again by the "company", assured Mr. Minter that his case was "Quickly grabbed" by a private attorney named Ms. Susan Taylor, which ultimately was presented to him by Douglass as being an "excellent sign" with the assurance that she "Will take it to trial" and "likely easily win" was shuffled off toward her path, where ultimately again, he was "rejected" as a potential client on the grounds of "Conflict of Interest", not because of company politics though like with the others, this time it was decided because the second church member declared "defendant" from the same Self-Defense situation was a former client she had defended more than 20 years Prior To the date of this alledged incident.
Though no details other than that have yet to be attained, along withthe fact that each church members case remains separate, meaning not conjoined making the members "Co-Defendants", Ms. Tayler, whom along with Ms. Douglass who actually looked at the cases details both concur that the church members position is a clear case of "Self Defense" meaning "Not Criminal in nature", though will likely ultimately be dismissed once the facts are presented and made known to the courts, but Ms. Taylor presumes that the two members cases will end up consolidated Before they are dismissed because they both stem from the same incident near the same time frame with the same alledged victim, the grossly intoxicated transient who ultimately physically initiated an assault upon Mr. Minter.
Looking a bit more broadly into the state of Oregons "Public Defenders" across the state, it is found that Marion County Oregon is NOT the Only county court system who have established "Contracts" with privately owned companies who in turn are guarenteed appointment as legal representation for those who wind up inside the states criminal justice system entitled to court-appointed counsel. Questionable in itself as that may or may not seem to be, the fact that "bills" result for such services both to the indengent defendants as Well as to state tax payers make it highly questionable to the degree of alarming for those and their families who find themselves in such a situation such as this.
Now, we Presume that when everything is said and done in Mr. Minter's case, that the "Bill" in the official record he alledgely owes to Ms. Hyde will likely be removed, especially considering she didn't do her job at All which would otherwise justify such a bill at all, but of coarse only time will reveal whether that's in fact the case or not, as too will we see if there is any "Bill" at all if and when a defendant actually Wins the case being charged against them. ONAC KM leaders, being focused on proper justice beyond even the realms of this case or any case involving a church member express great outrage in discovering this type of corruption being not only tolerated but commonplace within the states judicial system assure our readers that this issue will not be layed to rest until proper correction needed to ensure proper justice within the governments system is attained.
Church leaders are disappointed extremely at the entirety of Mr. Minters situation, "First for having to suffer as an unrecognized victim from the state's "victim", second, for he and his families sufferings because of that failure of factual recognition, and third because of this corruptions impact depriving our church member the right of Due Process as well as Right of a Speedy Trial and ultimately being deprived of proper justice."
In the meantime, Oklevueha leaders encourage everyone to share this shocking realization with others so that they too can ponder the reality of corruption in Oregon as well as other states judicial systems who also exploit the judicial systems of government for profiteering as we believe that such blantent abuse doesn't stop at the Oregon border, and likely does expand into states where you and your loved ones are affected and should be concerned. We also encourage you to not only stay tuned for future updates and news needing known and too, that you share the wisdom and knowledge with any and all who will listen.
