Open Letter: To Washington County Criminal Court, Pleadings

MOTION TO DISMISS

Washington County Cpourthouse — Criminal Court

In the matter of,
STATE OF OREGON V. WOLFE C050042CR

I. Defendant seeks to have the plea bargain of February 16, 2005 dismissed and have all record and fees of this matter expunged.

A. Defendant was given a felony conviction by the court, and received five years probation. As part of the plea bargain, defendant was required to register as a “low risk sex offender”, for life. This punishment was grossly unfair and unconstitutional based on the facts in the case, as described in the enclosed attachment, “3 Americas”.

B. Defendant’s physical impairments, along with the hostility toward all sex offenders, regardless of their level, has made this burden extremely unjust, in light of any public interest it may serve.

II. The Supreme Court ruled that in all felony cases it is unconstitutional to be convicted by a jury that is not unanimous. Defendant would argue that the Court’s decision should also apply to a plea bargain, that had been made under these circumstances, since the threat of a unconstitutional conviction played a role in Defendant’s accepting the plea bargain.

A. In November of 2004 Circuit Judge Robert Heard, acting as a private attorney, informed me that Oregon and one other state allowed for non-unanimous verdicts in criminal felony cases.

III. The undue duress placed on Defendant, a severely disabled person during incarceration, was a violation of his civil rights. Defendant seeks to have his 2005 judgement reversed.

A. Because of Defendant’s severe disabilities and the compromising position that confinement presented Defendant made the decision under duress to accept a plea bargain from the District Attorney of Washington County, Robert W. Hermnann. “One of the primary factors that led to this decision was based on defendant’s understanding that the District Attorney would only need ten out of twelve jurors to convict.
