ED BROWN REFUSED TO PARTAKE IN A FEDERAL TRIAL WHEN THE COURTS USURPED THE POWERS OF THE JURY

This is the "Keep It Simple and Smart" (KISS) message that everyone needs to spread far and wide:

The courts, by using these pattern criminal instructions - see below - are violating our 6th Amendment Right of Due Process and a fair trial.

Here's the link to Judge McAuliffe's jury instructions. Here are the two key sentences of "THE LIE" that Judge McAuliffe states in the very beginning, verbatim, as follows:

"You are the sole exclusive judge of the facts."

"You are to apply the law as I give it to you from these instructions to the facts as you find them to be from the edvidence."

Here's the image of the actual jury instructions where Judge McAuliffe states this as follows:




So "the law" is basically whatever Judge McAuliffe "says it is" - ie. verbatim from the jury instructions above...

Judge McAuliffe and the US District Courts, are violating our 6th Amendment Right of Due Process and a fair trial.

U.S. Constitution: Sixth Amendment
Sixth Amendment - Rights of Accused in Criminal Prosecutions

Amendment Text | Annotations

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Here's an example of the pattern criminal jury instructions Judge McAuliffe used to violate Ed and Elaine Brown's 6th Amendment Right of Due Process and a fair trial.

Chapter 1.00

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Committee Commentary 1.02

2005 Edition

The Committee made no change in the instruction.

A panel of the Sixth Circuit quoted paragraph (4) of this instruction and stated that it cured any confusing statements made by the district court during voir dire. United States v. Okeezie, 1993 WL 20997 at 4, 1993 U.S. App. LEXIS 1968 at 4 (6th Cir. 1993)(unpublished).


1991 Edition

The jurors have two main duties. First, they must determine from the evidence what the facts are. Second, they must take the law stated in the court's instructions, apply it to the facts and decide whether the facts prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. See Sparf v. United States, 156 U.S. 51, 102-107, 15 S.Ct. 273, 39 L.Ed. 343 (1895); Starr v. United States, 153 U.S. 614, 625, 14 S.Ct. 919, 923, 38 L.Ed. 841 (1894).

The jurors have the power to ignore the court's instructions and bring in a not guilty verdict contrary to the law and the facts. Horning v. District of Columbia, 254 U.S. 135, 138, 41 S.Ct. 53, 54, 65 L.Ed. 185 (1920).

But they should not be told by the court that they have this power.

United States v. Krzyske, 836 F.2d 1013, 1021 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 832, 109 S.Ct. 89, 102 L.Ed.2d 65 (1988); United States v. Avery, 717 F.2d 1020, 1027 (6th Cir.1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 905, 104 S.Ct. 1683, 80 L.Ed.2d 157 (1984); United States v. Burkhart, 501 F.2d 993, 996-997 (6th Cir.1974), cert. denied, 420 U.S. 946, 95 S.Ct. 1326, 43 L.Ed.2d 424 (1975).

They should instead be told that it is their duty to accept and apply the law as given to them by the court. United States v. Avery, supra at 1027.

Here's an example of what can happen in a tax trial when even one juror knows the truth about the true power of the jury "to ignore the court's instructions and bring in a not guilty verdict contrary to the law and the facts."
