Greetings,


In 2004, one Month after receiving a Bachelor of Physics degree from the College of Charleston, I was arrested for D.U.I. After being detained, my blood alcohol content registered at 0.02%. Due to this BAC applying to minors, I thought the arresting officer, Andrew " A.J. " Heaton, would allow me to leave. Unfortunately, he did not. He subsequently wrote a provably false police report, and I spent the night in the Anderson City Jail.


When the proper time came, I pleaded innocent to the charge. I requested an attorney, but I was told that if I didn't pay a fee for a public defender's service, I would be denied an attorney. At the time, I had no money, and thus, I couldn't pay the fee. However, I argued that the Constitution doesn't state that one pay a fee in order to be tried fairly in a court of law. Unfortunately, my pleas fell on death ears. I would go on to be prosecuted by attorney Chrissy Adams, who was running for office at the time.


After being found guilty by a jury ( who were not my peers ), Judge Hugh Wellborn originally sentence me to public service on the weekends. My finding of guilt was an adjudicated sentence. After finishing my community service, I was supposed to report to Judge Wellborn's court, and possibly have the charges dismissed. Chrissy Adams vehemently disagreed with the sentence, and she complained to Judge Wellborn about it. Two or three days later, Judge Wellborn said " I'm really, really sorry, but I must sentence you to jail. "

There are far too many flaws about this issue to comment upon at this time. Just suffice it to say that, since 2004, I have never received a job offer. I am now 46 years old, and I face the very real prospect of never working due to this circumstance. It is my hope that the court will see it fit to review this trial, because it is easy to prove it to be Unconstitutional ( in many more ways than I've mentioned here ).

Kind regards,


George Walker
