We got documents on CJ from the US District Court,Western WA, in Tacoma. Pretty skimpy but informative on why CJ has been held for two months since his arrest on August 18. As noted earlier, CJ has been indicted, clubbed with a blunt instrument: COUNT 1 Beginning on or about June 23, 1997, and continuing through December 9, 1997, at Tacoma and elsewhere, within the Western District of Washington, CARL EDWARD JOHNSON, did threaten to kill certain federal law enforcement officers and judges of the United States, with intent to impeded, intimidate, or interfere with said officers and judges on account of their official duties. All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 115(a)(1)(B). Dated September 30 1998. The June 23 and December dates bracket the messages cited in the complaint by Jeff Gordon, and discussed here. The grand jury must have base its charge on Jeff's complaint for there's no explication of the charges in the indictment. (See the complaint at: http://jya.com/cejfiles.htm.) On the date of the indictment a bench warrant was issued for CJ's arrest. It was returned on October 9 marked "returned unexcuted - warrant issued in error - per AUSA Robb London." CJ was in Springfield during this time. There were two handwritten notes. One says: "Called Tucson - Have Mag case on 98-2824M. Undergoing psych eval. 8/26/98. 520-620-7200. The other: "10/5/98. Per Tucson, Deft in Psych Eval. Unsure of dates in order to figure Speedy Trail." A Case Status form, dated September 22, 1998, notes that CJ is in detention based on a District of Arizona order, with the note, "8-18-98; now awaiting compentency evaluation and R40 hearing." At the bottom the form states "The estimated trial time is 4 trial days." What's screwy about all this is that when the grand jury returned the indictment and a bench warrant was issued, CJ was in Springfield but the AUSA seemed not to know it, or didn't tell the magistrate who issued the bench warrant, although the notes in the case file clearly showed that this information had been recorded. Who knows what else the grand jury and judge was told or not told by the US Attorneys and the IRS -- the public record tells naught. And CJ's right to a speedy trial, though noted, is overridden by the prolonged psychological evaluation process, as well as overlooked or ignored communications between WA and AZ. And the buffoonish bench warrant? That appears to indicate incompetence in the US Attorney's office -- that's AUSA Robb London in charge (not to slight Katrina Pflaumer, USA, and William Redkey, AUSA, who also signed the indictment). And the four days for a trial for alleged murder attempts? Is this real? Or is this threat of quick vicious justice by biased attorneys with vengence in mind, coupled with the prolonged delay, a ploy to coerce CJ to plead? Brings back memories of Jim Bell's punishment by delay, isolation, manipulation, change of jails, and coercion, with a plea bargain just to get the the psychological torture to stop. Wonder if Jim and CJ are allowed to swap tips and tricks on surviving political imprisonment in the United States of America.
