Trial To Begin June 6, 2011

The day has come and tomorrow is opening arguments. We are both nervous about trial and going in front of a jury of Mark’s “peers”, yet happy to finally have the opportunity to have the truth come out in a court of law.

Some of the recent developments include:

**Phoenix Police Fallen Regime --The very regime that the Baseline taskforce operated under is falling apart. County Attorney Andrew Thomas has been investigated (not on this case) and will no doubt lose his license to practice law due to corruption and abuse of power. (Thomas withheld the Terry Wayne Smith 160+ page report from Mark’s defense team.) Also double dipping Police Chief Jack “I Am Not Stepping Down” Harris has resigned after a fraud investigation by the Office of Inspector General. I am told Harris was the ringleader of the burglary of our home last summer in a desperate attempt to find any information that would help their case against Mark. Explains why two computers and a cell phone were taken, nothing else. Only items with “data.”

**Detective Dave Barnes, who was one of the detectives on the Baseline Investigation, will be a witness for us, not the State. As a result, not only has Barnes has been harassed by Phoenix police brass and placed on administrative leave, he also finds himself charged in other matters - all a direct result of this case. Judge Granville asked the prosecutors to give Barnes immunity at the trial, but before he could even finish his question, prosecutor Susanne Cohen’s response was “No!”  (Dave Barnes has information on the Terry Wayne Smith cover up, the disappearance of Mark’s cell tower location records, and searches of our home.)

**Not only did Phoenix Police, County Attorney Andrew Thomas, prosecutors, William Clayton, Suzanne Cohen and Patty Stevens, knowingly withhold the 160+ page report on Baseline suspect Terry Wayne Smith, they had the nerve to file a motion to try to prevent that evidence from being used at trial. Prosecutors lost that motion and not only will Rusty Stuart take the stand, the officer who wrote the report and took it numerous times to the Baseline task team, only to be told to go away, but Terry Wayne Smith will be on the stand as well.

**During jury selection any jurors who understood anything about DNA were removed by prosecutors. Speaks volumes that they wouldn’t want anyone to see what crap their so-called DNA evidence is.

These are only some of the things that have taken place. We hope to shed light on it all at trial.

Stay tuned.
