[AKidsRight.Org] Your FEEDBACK: Asking to be charged on 100 driving incidents.

jmurtari@AKidsRight.org

Good People & People of Faith,

The bulk of this email contains your FEEDBACK on my recent message
about asking to be charged by the DA for over 100 incidents of driving
with a suspended license.  It generated a LOT of feedback.  There were
a couple of excellent web sites mentioned with case law in this area.

If you would like to read my letter and motion to the Court (which
includes the complete background of what happened and how I ended up
$55,000 behind) check the following.

For the story, please see:

For even more background see:

My Trial is scheduled for 8:30 AM on Dec 12th, in Lyons, NY -- which
is half way between Rochester and Syracuse. It would certainly be nice
to have some people there with me.  If you think you can make the
trip, please let me know and I look forward to seeing you.  Hopefully,
we'll be able to talk before and after the Trial. To pull up an
on-line map just use the Village Court address: 79 William Street,
Lyons, NY 14489

Thanks for writing. I think you will find a full explanation here:
http://www.AKidsRight.org/support/lyons2.pdf that should answer all
your questions.  I'd welcome any thoughts you have after review.

Thanks for the message. I actually thing I've provided quite a bit of
financial support for my son.  If you have time, please read the
entire history at http://www.AKidsRight.org/support/lyons2.pdf It's
about 8 pages, I'd welcome your perspective after you've had a chance
to review.

Thank you very much for the link.  I 've had a lot of replies and
yours has been the most useful!  I might be able to reuse a lot of
that and submit the arguments to the Court now.

I saw your web site, very cute son you have there!  Sorry to hear what
happened to you.  I see you quote Martin Luther King.  For those that
can I do think we need to take action and demonstrate a willingness to
sacrifice for what we believe in. We have more history at the site:

Well, the fact I drove over a hundred times is the truth and they know
that I have been driving (its a necessity).  Regarding the other
clams, it is true they can say many, many things.  I can't control
that.

Thanks for the kind words and the words of prayer. Guidance in

Regarding John Murtari:

   I have known Mr. Murtari for over ten years.  I too have suffered a
   loss of my only child through "no fault of my own".  My daughter,
   now 16 was allowed to move out of Wisconsin years ago by a judge
   who has shown no personal interest in my daughter or me to date.
   Like Mr. Murtari, I am ready, willing and able to support my
   daughter when she is with me.  I am a fit parent who is capable of
   providing a warm and loving environment for her.  Unfortunately,
   through no fault of my own, my daughter is forced to live in a
   father absent environment where numerous studies have shown will
   give rise to a higher rate of teenage pregnancy, depression as an
   adult and poorer grades in school.

   Mr. Murtari is ready, willing and able to provide that same warm
   and caring environment to his son Dominic; however, he is not
   allowed to do that.  His son now lives thousands of miles away
   through no fault of John's.  Forcing John to pay child support and
   then taking away his driver's license without a jury trial of our
   peers is like the Chinese government or Stalin's former government,
   who take away basic freedoms based on rumors and innuendo.
   Mr. Murtari is guilty of no crime.  

   If freedoms that other citizens enjoy are taken from him, he should
   be first and foremost allowed the opportunity to defend himself in
   front of a jury of his peers.  Recent polls have shown that the
   general public is sick and tired of the way "family" courts treat
   fathers.  I believe that if given the opportunity, no jury would
   take away his right to drive.  Mr. Murtari deserves praise for his
   efforts to stop our government from harming our children.  His
   actions help make our country a better place to live and raise our
   children.  If only our founding fathers could know how fathers are
   being treated today, they would have made sure that this would
   never happen.  Do what is right and don't hold Mr. Murtari
   responsible for laws that are unconstitutional and harmful to our
   children.  Either give Mr. Murtari a jury trial, or leave him
   alone.

				Sincerely, 
				Malcolm Hatfield, MD

Yes, as you, I found it hard to believe until I saw it happen to me
with my own eyes.  That is the obstacle we face in reform; convincing
people of the need for reform without them having experienced it.

Yes, it was not easy.  If you have not read the details/history,
please look at the document:

Thanks for the call last night.  I went to the website and read the
act.  I liked it very much.  Judicial misconduct review should be
conducted by plain citizens, just as you say.  It should be done in
all states.

That is a great idea.  We could actually put it on the website.  My
big problem is just getting someone to help and just take care of it.
You know how it goes, lots of ideas but it is hard to find folks who
have time to help.  I may try to see if I can bring a tape recorder to
get an audio recording.

[ NOTE: I did contact the Village Court.  There will be a Court
Reporter there that day to record the proceeding ]
