Part One
I cannot help but to wonder what is in the mind of those who work and breath the Criminal Justice System? I like many of you watch true crime show documentaries, everything from one of my favorites, Forensic Files to the infamous Snapped. Each of the programs give the view a sense of safety and a hope in false security by documenting and sharing only solved crimes. Crimes usually of Rape and/or Homicide. We are violent Nation patronizing our fears with guns, and weapons of mass destruction. Unfortunately for our international reputation.
Just about forty plus years public school students learned the basics of the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, and we sang the National Anthem and Plagued our Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of American. We stood proud in separation of church and state. As we declared war on war by peacefully protesting it. In the way were men and (women) who were drafted into service, or should I use the Politically Correct term and say that they were forced into service. Many Republican Career Politicians of today were (what are still known as Cowards) Draft-Daggers.
We treated these fellow Americans as though they were nothing short of lepers. Socially humiliated and shunned from our sights. They are no longer unsightly; you and I both can see them (United States Veterans) of yesteryear and all the way up to yesterday. We have learned that they only fought the good fight, they were sent by our Politicians to foreign lands to stand up for democracy, liberty and freedom. They went there with good intentions; intentions that had a violent and distasteful after taste.
Our boys and girls came home maimed, mutilated, and in a terrible state of mental and emotional anguish. We weep for those that did not return, we pray for the well-being of the surviving families and fellow soldiers. It is our duty to give back to them what they gave up for us, in any way we can. Yet, there is an ugly reality to this scenario; the Criminal Justice System is fractured and broken. tens-of-thousands of our former military come home to only be misunderstood, unwanted and confused. They end up on the streets, homeless, many are addict and alcoholics, self-medicating the nightmares' of war away without success.
In our immediate fix for this is the only solution we can muster up; Incarceration! But, not just for them, we incarcerate anyone who does not have valid drivers license, an address (homeless), and the mental ill. We incarcerate innocent people every day, not only do we incarcerate them we prosecute them, persecute them and do not give a damned who cares. We are a vicious, morally bankrupt and apathetic society. We (I mean Americans) are the planet bullies, we have more people in jail or prisons than even China.
Denver District Courts the District Attorneys' Office, Probation Department, Colorado's Program for Monitoring Sex-Offenders, and the Denver Sheriff's Department have failed the Tax-Payers, and Citizens of the Colorado. And the Victims' Compensation Fund is over Funded and compensates Juvenile-Sex-Offenders. You find these articles in the Denver Post & West News by writer David Olinger: Audit Criticizes Colorado's Program for Monitoring Sex Offenders. Writer Noelle Phillips: Jail is Broken- Denver Post May 11, 2015. And on You Tube video with john Oliver on Sesame Street explaining 'Incarceration' to children. I will explain my personal experience with a Juvenile Violent Sex Child Sex Offender who was compensated by the Victims' Compensation Fund, and had Criminal Grand Theft charges dropped.
I am a 47 year old male with mental illness as a result of a traumatic childhood. In October of 2014 an estranged house guest took from my home a very expensive mountain bicycle. The person was introduced to me by a mutual friend as trustworthy, and reliable. I was told by both that he was 23 plus years who did not have identification because he was a one percent-er (a person who does not follow the ninety-nine percent of the law). I hear the oxymoron in that statement as well, you are not alone.
I was forced to press criminal charges to retrieve the bicycle. A few months later I was arrested for crimes I did not commit. I was charged with Pimping and Pandering a child, and sexual assault on a child. Turns out that our trustworthy friend was not who he presented himself as. In fact he was a juvenile sex offender and fugitive of the law. He had apparently ran away from his Foster family, after several sexual assault convictions on a person who could not speak for themselves. He had sodomized his much younger foster brother, and was forced by law to register as a juvenile sex offender. He had not.
When the foster mother came forth with further evidence on child pornography that could be found on electronic devices that he had access to, the Denver District Attorney Office dropped 12 of 13 charges against me. I was sent home on a Personal Recognizes Bond. I plead guilty to contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor: the Elements of the Crime have been deemed False and Untrue by the Court, with approval by the Prosecuting Attorneys.
I spent eight long months in jail fighting for my innocence. As a educated and trained Legal Assistant I accessed every bit of law I could to assist my attorneys in my case. I am horrified that one could be plucked from their lives on a whim, a whisper from an Accuser with an ax to grind. I could not understand the investigating officers' method of interrogation. I watched horrified the interview by the Sgt. Daniel Steele, as he spoon fed the entire statement to the accuser. the Accuser never once said, "yes or no" only, "uh huh" and "yeah man".
My life is in ruins, my reputation is destroyed, my mental and emotional stability is on a high-wire made of one single strand of hair. The D.A.'s office, and Law Enforcement have not a clue where this man is. He is now 18 years of age, a legal adult, a Violent Sexual Child Predator is on the loose, and you the public have not been notified.
Andrew James Lewis 18, is the Boogie-Man.... I have lost faith in Colorado Criminal Justice System, Law Enforcement (not only because they shoot & kill innocent people of color), and the Denver District Attorneys' Office. I have fallen victim to Prison's for Profit, and a Broken Judicial System. You should not lose the faith that I have. Keep punching!
