On 6 March 2013, the defense called
Paul Feinberg and Rashidah Tarver to the stand to testify. Mr.
Feinberg is a prominent attorney in NJ and Ms. Tarver is a school
teacher. The defense also called Paul Bergrin's daughter Beth to
testify. Of course none of these three defense witnesses would need
to consider pleading the Fifth on the stand; they're all upstanding
citizens that have never been charged with any crime.
Paul Bergrin did not have the
opportunity to question the next witnesses. Jamal McNeil and Edward
Peoples are convicted felons and the government refused to afford
each immunity from prosecution as is given to its own witnesses that
testify. In this sense, it is certainly an unequal system. Government
witnesses that have participated in crimes get a free pass on the
crimes discussed, but defense witnesses are threatened with
prosecution if any statement implicates them in the very same crime.
The government stated in advance of
today's proceedings that the Fifth Amendment could be an issue for
many of Bergrin's witnesses. I described how that works in favor of
the defense in my last post and now you see how it worked in favor of
prosecutors yesterday. Both Jamal McNeil and Edward Peoples opted to
pass on testifying today shortly after arriving at the courthouse.
Each of these men were actual witnesses that would have informed the
jury of false testimony by government witnesses. The truthful
testimony was stifled.
One thing is absolutely clear here: The
government has no interest in the truthful testimony and will use the
Fifth Amendment to stifle it whenever possible. Government
prosecutors do not represent the people or truth and justice; they
represent the system and the government.
I certainly hold no ill will towards
McNeil or Peoples. I saw it coming. Each was willing to get on the
stand and speak the truth about what happened in specific situations;
however, not at the expense of their own lives. Who could blame them?
No matter really. I feel that Paul
Bergrin has revealed Anthony Young's version of events to be a
complete and total theater production; one in which government agents
and prosecutors are complicit. Paul Feinberg was Anthony Young's
attorney briefly back in late 2004, early 2005, following the murder
of Kemo Deshawn McCray. Rashidah Tarver was Young's girlfriend during
that time period and up until he set her house on fire - literally.
Read Paul Feinberg's testimony from the
first trial beginning on page 24 and concluding on page 37. Read Ms.
Tarver's testimony starting on page 37 and ending on page 60 of the
transcript:
US v Bergrin 11_9_11 (link removed - contact me privately for a copy)
If you've read this part of the
transcript, I do not need to inform you of the holes in Anthony
Young's testimony. In the beginning, Oscar Cordova with his inaudible
tapes were the government's best witness in this prosecution, but as
we are all aware, Oscar's testimony was a complete failure. Hell, the
idiot actually impersonated a female when he called-in a death threat
against himself - that is warped, and criminal.
The next best witness in this trial was
supposedly Anthony Young and his twisting of the "No Kemo, no
case" statement. In reality, it's all lies. Young never went to
the auto body shop to melt the gun that he never used to kill Kemo
Deshawn McCray.
Bergrin's daughter Beth testified as to
why he was in Chicago back when Oscar claimed he was there for a
meeting. Of course nothing from this alleged meeting is even on the
inaudible tapes. Bergrin was there to meet his young grandchild for
the first time and stayed the night at his daughter's home. He flew
back to NJ the following day.
Doesn't it bother you when you figure
out that the government's main goal and only goal is to deceive you?
It seriously bothers me.
