Chavis Carter Case: Will Cochran Firm Avoid Lawsuit?

Hours remain on the Arkansas statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit for Chavis Carter. He was the young Black man who was searched twice, handcuffed behind his back, and shot to death in a Jonesboro, Arkansas police car. Carter was shot in his right temple, although he was left-handed. Time is running out for the Carter family to file a pro se lawsuit, because they certainly do not have real lawyers.

On August 3, we will hold a rally at the Georgia Capitol from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. against brutality and in-custody deaths. Notices about the rally were censored. Therefore, each Monday throughout August after August 3, rallies will be held from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Georgia Capitol Building (August 10, 17, 24, and 31).
Chavis Carter's death paved the way for other black men to be shot while handcuffed behind their backs and have their deaths ruled suicides. Numerous other men of color have been declared to have Houdini powers, able to bend their bodies like most professional contortionists cannot in order to shoot themselves with fire arms that mysteriously escaped police searches. Whenever such a death happens, police usually site the Chavis Carter case to prove that it has happened before. The Cochran Firm has apparently set a new precedent with its fraud against the Carter family.

Who's fault is it that The Cochran Firm defrauds grieving African American families throughout America in order to save police departments and major corporations from paying just restitution to Blacks for catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths? I blame journalists, including Black media companies, consumer protection agencies, judges in certain courts who seem to collude against African Americans to withhold due process of law, and of course, police unions and major corporations, who I suspect actually pay for the frauds against police victims' families and other African Americans who were injured or killed as a result of negligence or abuse. I try to warn my brothers and sisters, but the government either sent or allows hackers who takeover my telephones, destroy my computer equipment, and edit my articles to limit my ability to reach more African American families with warnings about The Cochran Firm frauds. It's an apparent CoIntelPro thing. Therefore, I also must blame my readers who do not all share my articles about The Cochran Firm's many frauds in order to help inform the public. "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." Dr. Cornell West recently criticized Black journalists on the video embedded below, calling them sell-outs:

@CornelWest calls black journalists sell-outs, and I solute him for doing that. They're like Esau, who traded his birthright for a bowl of soup. They sell-out grieving black families for advertising dollars and favors by people dedicated to "protecting the status quo," which is elite white supremacy, and "keeping wealth out of black hands." Those were two stated purposes of the FBI's CoIntelPro program, which supposedly ended in the 1970's after the Church Committee hearings, but you cannot prove that by me. https://youtu.be/M4oFpwrqxPQ



I figured Chavis Carter's family would become Cochran Firm fraud victims, which is why I added them to the growing list of defrauded Black former clients, attorneys, and a law firm years ago. "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm"

African Americans are being persecuted for Johnnie Cochran's success exonerating O.J. Simpson, former Black Panther Party leader Geronimo ji Jaga Pratt, and declaring in 2002 that he planned a Jim Crow and reparations lawsuit against the USA and major corporations that used leased slaves. It must be fun to "get even" by misusing Johnnie Cochran's name to lure unsuspecting African Americans.

Chavis Carter's statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit passes within hours. I wonder if The Cochran Firm and police have an after party planned.

Notice: Hackers destroyed the operating system in my computer on July 3, after I exposed the fact that The Cochran Firm has been pronounced nonexistent as a law firm by United States District Court, Central District of California ("USDC"), in May 2015. If you look online, you will not find media reports about that important news. The Cochran Firm appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court, where the matter is being litigated now. I was doing my very best to let the public know about USDC's righteous decision and court order when hackers destroyed my computer on July 3. I have not heard Dr. Cornell West's video about sell-out Black journalists yet, because hackers disconnected the audio capacity on the borrowed computer I now use. GOFundMe at http://gofundme.com/ys9shks > Please help me get new computer equipment so that I can continue advocating against disparate treatment in the American justice system based on people's race, economic class, and mental health status.

My family was probably the first to be punished with denial of due process of law by racists and Black Confederates who misuse Johnnie Cochran's name. See "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal" online. The url to Larry's website is in my signature block below. The mentally, physically disabled Black man died by undisclosed means after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis in 2003. Johnnie Cochran was terminally ill while The Cochran Firm defrauded the Neal family. Cochran was afflicted with inoperable brain tumors almost immediately after contracting to sell interest in his firm to Southern white supremacists and Black traitors like Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq. Cochran's civil rights lawyers were fired or forced out of the firm immediately after his death, per a former Cochran Firm attorney, Shawn Chapman-Holley. (Google "Controversy at The Cochran Firm," an NPR interview with Chapman-Holley, 2007).

Shame on you if you do not share this article with your friends and online networks. Help ensure that The Cochran Firm cannot defraud another Black family like it did to the survivors of Chavis Carter, John Crawford, III (Ohio Walmart police victim), Tory Ward (Georgia police victim), Stanley, a St. Louis police victim, the Ramapough People, a Native American tribe in the New Jersey area who suffered catastrophic injuries and deaths due to environmental racism ("Mann vs. Ford"). There are many other fraud victims, including some I do not yet know about (Google "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm"). Unless the Ninth Circuit Court does the right thing and upholds USDC's decision, The Cochran Firm's frauds against Black legal consumers will continue until we end it ourselves by "shining the light of truth upon it," like a courageous Black journalist in the 1800's, Ida B. Wells. I am doing my part to save grieving African Americans from being defrauded by lawyers who work to reduce or eliminate payouts to its clients by police departments and big businesses. Please join me. "Open your mouths for the poor and needy and all who are appointed to destruction" (Proverbs 31:8-9).

Human rights advocate, Nancy Lockhart, said, "It will be a shame if Chavis Carter's family does not file a timely lawsuit with the court - even if they must use a sheet of notebook paper." Letting wrongful deaths go unchallenged puts other people at great risk, as has already been proved from the Chavis Carter "suicide."

Especially if you are afraid to speak out against oppression, please GoFundMe: http://gofundme.com/ys9shks

Former Black Panther Party member and human rights advocate Lorenzo Ervin commented on the fraud against Chavis Carter's survivors: "Mary Neal, it's been three years since the fatal police shooting of Chavis Carter in the back of a police car in Arkansas; yesterday they had a 3-year anniversary. Do you know that the Cochran Law Firm still has not filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family, saying that they are waiting on the cops to give them the bloody clothes that the man was wearing? Even a paralegal or first-year law student knows that when you as Plaintiff file a lawsuit, you can then seek civil discovery to obtain that and other discovery items. They clearly are stonewalling, just as you have been saying. If they do not file the lawsuit, of course, the family loses their chance to even bring the case. Just another case that has been sold out in the name of Johnny Cochran, who was a champion of using the law to advance civil rights."

The next article in this "FreeSpeakBlog" is "Rally Against Brutality and Deaths in Custody" about our rally at the Georgia Capital on August 3, between 11am and 2pm. Larry Neal's secret death in custody convinced police that getting victims away from commuters with video cameras helps cover-ups, and there have been plenty of catastrophic injuries and deaths behind bars ever since. Killing people after arrests avoids the media frenzies that deaths of people like Kelly Thomas caused. The article about the rally is highly censored. I placed 35 paragraphs in the article about the Georgia rally, numbered with Roman numerals. On my view, hackers placed a black banner across most of the article to hide the news you need and deserve. I will read it on radio Wednesday at 3pm on "Human Rights Demand" channel at Blogtalkradio. Deaths in custody of people like my brother, Larry Neal, Sandra Bland and Freddie Gray are easier to contain. "The Root" reports there was another in-custody death of a Black woman in Ohio last weekend. #SayHerName - "Ralkina Jones, 37, Found Dead in Cell Sunday; Arrested Friday After Domestic Violence Incident"

We the People have our own mass media through the Internet. If we all use it wisely and share the news courageously like Ida B. Wells did, we will not depend on journalists who are sell-outs. Nobody should be caught unawares about The Cochran Firm fraud like Chavis Carter's family was. I hope to meet you at the Georgia Capitol on Monday, August 3 at lunchtime when we will also discuss H.R.2646 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." That is a federal bill introduced by Rep. Murphy (R-PA) and Eddie Johnson (D-TX) to provide subsistence assistance and mandated psychiatric treatment for people with serious mental illnesses (instead of warehousing them in solitary confinement or killing them in our streets). If you never heard about that U.S. congressional bill, it is only because of media sell-outs who work for prison investors. YOU MUST BE THE MEDIA AND HELP SHARE IMPORTANT NEWS. I rely on you.

I am sorry that most links in this article are not live, but hackers attack my articles for justice when I use the "compose" view rather than writing in html. Just copy and paste the links into a new tab to reach the targeted data. Thank you for caring and sharing.

IRP6: They Suppress Black Achievement Then Call Us Lazy

The IRP6

In March of 1892, Ida B. Wells, a journalist and former Memphis school teacher, started a crusade against lynching after three friends of hers were brutally murdered by a Memphis mob. Tom Moss and two of his friends, Calvin McDowell and Henry Stewart, were arrested for defending themselves against an attack on Moss' store. Moss was a highly respected figure in the black community, a postman as well as the owner of a grocery store. A white competitor, enraged that Moss had drawn away his black customers, hired some off-duty deputy sheriffs to destroy the store. The black store owner and friends shot at the white men, not knowing they were police officers. The blacks were arrested and lynched. Ida B. Wells wrote a scathing article about the lynchings, then left Memphis and never dared to return. (These events are covered more fully at "The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow" link provided at the end of this article.)

When African Americans accomplished economic success during and since Reconstruction, racist white supremacists destroyed them and their achievements. This happened  in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rosewood, Florida, Forsyth County, Georgia, as well as in Memphis and other towns, and it still happens today. Learn about IRP-6, five black and one white computer software executives who went into business together and had every expectation of running a multi-billion dollar enterprise, selling custom software to government entities. The six executives of IRP6 are imprisoned today, arrested for something that should have been addressed in civil court, if at all.

The long story shortened is that IRP6 developed software and showcased it to the U.S. Government, and were asked to custom the software to certain specifications. This required the company to contract with temporary agencies that provided technicians to help with the project. The IRP6 incurred expenses they were not able to cover timely but expected to make full payment upon the sale of the software or ascertaining a business loan. Before either of those could happen, the federal government charged the executives with fraud connected with the company's indebtedness to temporary agencies. The government actually staged a raid on the computer software firm and held its executives and employees at gunpoint while removing its records and computers. Some people believe the intention was to capture the software without paying for it (looting). IRP6 were later arrested and charged with fraud on the temporary agencies. America has returned to "debtors' prisons".

Racism seems evident in the IRP6 case, as it clearly was when towns and communities founded by blacks were destroyed after the Civil War. Even the U.S. Government was dedicated to suppressing blacks. From the 1930's until it was discovered and exposed in the 1970s, the FBI ran a covert program for the express purpose of suppressing black people and others who championed human and civil rights. It was called "CoIntelPro." Two of its declared aims were to maintain the status quo (white supremacy) and prevent the rise of a "Black Messiah." After the civil rights era, criminal prosecution largely replaced mob violence, mass lynchings and looting to bankrupt and penalize blacks who dared to violate the status quo rule by endeavoring to achieve independent wealth.

What happened to IRP6 serves as a warning to other black experts to seek employment among companies founded by whites. Do not establish your own companies and compete with them on any level, or you may be jailed like IRP6 or lynched like Tom Moss, Calvin McDowell and Henry Stewart were in Memphis in the 1800s when the grocery store Moss owned drew customers from a white retailer. The system still suppresses black achievement, then calls African Americans lazy.

Below is a press release from "A Just Cause." Please help by sharing information about the six computer software executives who are being punished for achieving success in the 21st century.

The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 27, 2014

The IRP6 case concerns an African-American company (IRP Solutions Corporation) in Colorado that developed the Case Investigative Life Cycle (CILC) criminal investigations software for federal, state, and local law enforcement. The IRP6 (Kendrick Barnes, Gary L Walker, Demetrius K. Harper, Clinton A Stewart, David A Zirpolo and David A Banks) were convicted in 2011 after being accused of mail and wire fraud. (D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA). The IRP6 have been incarcerated for over 18 months in federal prison in Florence, Colorado while their case is under appeal.

Court records show that the IRP6 challenged the proposed jury instructions but their challenge was denied by federal Judge Christine Arguello. Records show that the IRP6 requested that the jury instructions include a definition of scheme to defraud and that the jury instructions would elaborate on the term “intent."

Court transcripts show that David Banks argued before the court regarding jury instructions. “I want to at least get on the record for the moment, Your Honor, …we presented our definition as far as ‘scheme to defraud’ was concerned. And we would ask that, …Your Honor, that the standard definition that is a part of the mail fraud Instruction 4, under U.S.C. 1341(b), annotated as is in that statute”, argued David Banks, IRP Solutions COO (IRP6). “And I guess we question -- this looks like a -- now the Government has made what looks like a substantial change to the way the statute currently reads," Banks elaborated (D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA, 27 September 2011).

According to transcripts of the trial, Judge Arguello rejected the IPR6 request to provide clarification in the jury instructions regarding “intent.” “The defendants' competing instruction on that included lengthy definitions of "specific intent to defraud" and "materiality." The specific intent proposed by the defendants was "an evil ambition to deceive or swindle or to deprive someone of something of value and to cause financial harm." And the Court found that definition to be confusing and an unnecessary substitute for the Tenth Circuit Pattern Instructions," states Judge Christine Arguello, Federal Judge, United States District Court for the District of Colorado (D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA, 27 September 2011). “The Tenth Circuit has observed that "The term 'specific intent' is often confusing, requiring further elaboration to clarify precisely what the accused must know and intend," added Arguello (D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA, 27 September 2011).

Court records further show that Judge Arguello stated, “I also found it unnecessary to include the defendants' proffered instruction entitled "mistake, negligence and recklessness," because it contains overly broad statements of the law, and would be distracting to the jury.” (D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA, 27 September 2011)

According to the court transcript, the IRP6 argued that it was important that the jury instructions elaborate on the subject of “intent." “… Obviously the underpinnings of our defense will be based on that specific intent," petitioned Banks. “And the reasons we engaged in the business we engaged in, the reason we engaged staffing companies in the first place, obviously is going to go to the core of the specific intent to defraud. We just don't think that the intent to defraud clearly annotates that specific intent of requirement. So that would be our objection," Banks objecting to the judges comments that further clarification of “intent” was “unnecessary." Court records show that Judge Arguello denied the request of the IRP6 (D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA, 27 September 2011).

“Providing clarification is exactly what the IRP6 wanted to do," asserts Sam Thurman, A Just Cause. “According to the transcript, it doesn’t appear that the Tenth Circuit prohibits using the term ‘specific intent’, it seems that they have stated that it requires further elaboration. We question why IRP6’s request to ‘elaborate’ was rejected," adds Thurman.

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) compiled a report for Congress on mail and wire fraud. The report included a section on elements of mail and wire fraud. The CRS report states, “Intent: Under both statutes (mail and wire), intent to defraud requires a willful act by the defendant with the intent to deceive or cheat, usually, but not necessarily, for the purpose of getting financial gain for one’s self or causing financial loss to another. A defendant has a complete defense if he believes the (alleged) deceptive statements or promises to be true or otherwise acts in good faith. A defendant has no such defense, however, if he blinds himself to the truth. Nor is it a defense if he intends to deceive but feels his victim will ultimately profit or be unharmed.” (Congressional Research Service: Mail and Wire Fraud: An Abridged Overview of Federal Criminal Law, Charles Doyle, Senior Specialist in American Public Law, July 21, 2011, http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41931.pdf)

“According to the Congressional Research Service, an element of mail/wire fraud clearly calls out ‘intent’. The fact that the judge did not allow elaboration on this subject in the jury instructions is troubling and makes one wonder if the jury had been provided additional definitions and/or explanation, would they have returned a different verdict," ponders Thurman.

A Just Cause is an advocacy group that is examining the case of the IRP6. “A Just Cause is troubled by cases like the IRP6 where there are several apparent irregularities," states Thurman. “When we look at the compilation of findings in this case, it makes the organization push even harder for an inquiry or investigation into the initial investigation, the indictment and the trial of the IRP6," concludes Thurman.

The case of IRP Solutions (IRP6) is currently under appeal (US District Court for the District of Colorado, Honorable Christine M. Arguello, D. Ct. No. 1:09-CR-00266-CMA; Case Nos: NO. 11-1487, Case Nos. 11-1488, 11-1489, 11-1490, 11-1491 and 11-1492). Appellate Court panel includes the Honorable Senior Judge Bobby R. Baldock, Honorable Judge Harris L. Hartz, and Honorable Judge Jerome A. Holmes.
