PACK THE COURT!
On August 11, 2023 at 10:00 am, in the 22nd Circuit Court for Washtenaw County, in PEOPLE of the STATE OF MICHIGAN vs. ROBERT S. WINBURN, a/k/a Scott A. Libby, Case No. 17-000654-FC, Courtroom # 4, Before Judge Arianne E. Slay, at 101 E. Huron Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48107.
Importantly, the issues being raised involve criminal justice reformer, revolutionary, and activist Robert Winburn, a/k/a Scott Libby, who has languished in illegal detention as a pretrial detainee for 7 years without remedy, and who had been placed under a draconian gag order which:
a) precluded speaking out;
b) precluded filing motions to contest police and prosecution misconduct;
c) denied self representation; and
d) subjected Winburn to prohibited involuntary servitude although he had not been duly convicted of any crime.
Now, all the chains have been lifted with a court ruling that Winburn has been improperly denied his constitutional rights as an American citizen and presumed innocent. A hearing is set before Judge Slay, Courtroom #4, on August 11, 2023 at 10:00 am on several motions to dismiss charges, including issues that could impact thousands of Michigan prisoners and pretrial detainees, predicated in pertinent part on Professor Robert W. Frey’s publication in INCORPORATION, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND THE GRAND JURY: HURTADO V. CALIFORNIA RECONSIDERED, 108 Va. L. Rev. 1613 (Nov. 2022), and Professor Roger A. Fairfax, Jr’s publication in INTERROGATING THE NONINCORPORATION OF THE GRAND JURY CLAUSE, 43 Cardozo L. Rev. 855 (2022), each of which advance the powerful argument that Michigan and 27 other states have been acting in derogation of the Fifth Amendment right to Grand Jury Indictment for all capital crimes, or serious offenses, and persuasively make the case that all Bill of Rights protections are now enforceable by “substantive” Due Process Clause guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment.
In addition, Winburn is advancing other major issues of significant public interest, including that he has identified an illegal policy, practice and custom of the Michigan State Police and Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office in improper coaching and indoctrination of government witnesses which has been uniquely identified and captured in pretrial stages of the case.
Just as importantly, Winburn is arguing that the former COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the Michigan Supreme Court (vetoing statutory and constitutional speedy trial guarantees) violated the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, and the specific guarantee of the Sixth Amendment of the right to a speedy trial, and relies upon an epic ruling of liberty and justice in UNITED STATES v HENNING, 513 F. Supp. 3d 1193 (U.S.D.C. CAL. 2021). Obviously enough, the ramifications in this case are high, and of extreme importance to criminal justice experts and reformers, and we need your help.
Please stand strong with us on Aug. 11 2023 at 10:00 am in Courtroom #4 before Judge Slay. Winburn is not just talking about it, he is in the battle field of legal combat, and has the potential to impact thousands of prisoners unjustly detained.
