      How many times you’ve<\/em> gone to court & the only people who know what’s going on<\/em> are the attorneys & the judge?  How many times have you witnessed an innocent person got shoved under <\/em>simply because they didn’t know<\/a> the rules<\/a>?  It happened in my case<\/a> and<\/em> to many other Water Protectors at Standing Rock<\/a>.  Because I’ve been privately studying jurisprudence (the scientific study of law)<\/em> for years & now see<\/span> <\/em>how “lack of information” can destroy peoples’ lives, I’m passing on this knowledge on via www.ReUniteTheStates.org<\/a> so we can all know the rules <\/em>so that no one <\/em>gets shoved under ever again.  Besides the website, there is an important petition – please take a moment to sign “teach jurisprudence in high schools<\/a>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

    At Standing Rock<\/a>, we took a stand for the water, tribal rights, & both natives & non-natives stood together & suffered &\/or witnessed rampant <\/em>Color of Law Crimes<\/a> (<<<< read that if you haven’t). <\/span><\/p>\n

    Some Water Protectors <\/em>have had their rights violated in the courtroom <\/em>as well as a result of various forms of courtroom abuse<\/a>.  For example, in my case<\/a> and several other Water Protector <\/em>cases, the South Central Judicial District<\/a> (which maintains jurisdiction over Morton County<\/a> & surrounding counties)<\/em> utilized an illegal Media Policy<\/a> to deny<\/em> civilians’ right to film court proceedings<\/a>.  While this type of policy is typical for courts to institute, it is <\/em>a tactic used to hide courtroom abuse<\/a> from reaching the public eye.  In my case<\/a>, for instance, the transcript from my arraignment<\/a> omits<\/span><\/em> specific key legal terms<\/a> I stated.   Due to the fact that Water Protectors were prevented from filming, many will lack evidence as to what actually occurred in the courtroom, especially <\/em>if their transcripts are inaccurate.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Another type of abuse I experienced that others may have experienced is that two different Notices to Appear (in court) were sent to two different addresses.  My Notice to Request State’s Discovery<\/a> sent from the State’s Attorney’s Office, however, was sent to a third different <\/em>address.  According to my State’s Discovery I later received, however, I only gave officers one<\/em><\/span> address at the time of my arrest.  Due to the fact that both <\/em>my Notices to Appear <\/em>were sent to two different addresses, I missed one of my appearances & was thereby penalized.  Thankfully, because I have my phone calls to the Morton County Clerk of Court<\/a> recorded <\/em>thanks to the Automatic Call Recorder App<\/a>, and<\/em><\/span> because I ordered a copy of my State’s Discovery (you can do the same!<\/a>) I have evidence<\/em><\/span> my Notices to Appear were in fact sent to two<\/em><\/span> addresses I had never given them.  If I did not have the State’s Discovery & recorded phone calls as evidence, my allegations would be considered hearsay & I wouldn’t be able to prove my case.  That is why I’m urging Water Protectors to “get your ducks in a row”\u2014 get all your paperwork in order, <\/em>write your testimony<\/a>, order a copy of your State’s Discovery<\/a>, & prepare to go on the offense<\/em> in federal court.  The fight is not over!<\/span><\/p>\n

     You<\/em><\/span> can order a copy of your court transcripts <\/em>from the Morton County Clerk of Court<\/a> by calling 701-667-3358 or <\/em>by emailing 30clerk@ndcourts.gov<\/a>. If you call, we recommend using the Automatic Call Recorder App<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

     If the transcript you order from the Morton County Clerk of Court<\/a> is inaccurate, we recommend ordering an audio recording<\/em> as well in order to prove the inconsistencies between the transcript & what actually took place later<\/em> in federal court.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

     Wilson v. The State of North Dakota<\/a> is an example of one <\/em>water protector’s quest to bring accountability through such means.  Here are the audio files being used to prove the transcript from the court recorder were inaccurate via omitting key legal terms:<\/span><\/p>\n
