On February 16th 08 I was assulted and almost beaten to death by 3 white surpremist at a Dennys resturant here in Shasta County, by luck people in the resturant (white)came to my aid.  It was the scene of a old western bar fight, tables chairs, people thrown everywhere, the police say it was just short of a riot, I informed the police it was the same white supremist that has assulted me 4 times in the past (police report made) the last time leaving me in a bloody mess..I told the Redding Police Dept the name of the person(s) who assulted me for the 5th time.. 

I went to jail, the police dept cause I am black automatically ran my name, I said I'm the victim..police said sorry you have a failure to appear.

(FTA), how could this be, shouldnt I go to the hospital like the other victims here, innocent bystanders...you look OK to us....I went ot jail on a FTA, I was in court 4 days prior for that FTA, The judge dismissed it and the DA found another Judge to sign it the warrant filing charges on the FTA the prior judge dismissed....my Public Defender name is Ted Loos --
(530-245-7598) 

I hearby give consent to anyone who wish to look into this case or incident, I will give it in writing as well...I need help...I have been OR'd for 7 yrs. 

2. Charles Peterson 

Mr. Peterson has also suffered greatly by false charges by lying witnesses, who stole from him and then because he was black, the police came and arrested him, instead of questioning the girls. Evidently the girls are users of drugs, and were coerced into telling a untrue story, and even though they keep not showing up in Court to tall their lies, the Court will probably find him guilty anyway and send him to prison for something he did not do. 

Mr. Peterson is now represented by Max Ruffcorn, who was not prepared for trial, and on transcript at the Marsden hearing, Max Ruffcorn, Public Defender, told Judge Curle that he didn't need to talk to me about my trial/case, therefore leaving Mr. Peterson in the dark, and very unable to give important information to prove that he is innocent. Mr. Peterson got a letter from the Public Defenders office asking for the names of his witnesses, and the fact they should be provided in a timely matter. Mr. Peterson was confused by the letter because the Public Defender's office has had the witnesses names for over 3 years. And as recently as 3 months ago my witnesses show up to court, and had traveled far to get there just to be told it was postponed again. But none of the prosecutors witnesses had to show up, Mr. Peterson tried to represent himself in order to get the information that he would be entitle to so he could defend himself. Judge Curle denied the Marsden hearing, what is going on here? Even the code book says that Attorney must communicate with his client and keep him informed. Mr. Ruffcorn told the judge he didn't need to do this, its all on transcript at Court. 

On march 26th I went to jury trial and was shocked to see my Public Defender was not Defending me in a the same capacity as the D.A but was very somber and obvious not asking with confidences the right questions towards the said victims nor to the police officer in question. The D.A stood and approached the jury and as I witnessed won the jury over with smiles and evidence that the judge wouldn't let my defense have the same access too but allowed the evidence to still be used in the court. this is what the judge allowed.(1) Computer hard drive evidence and copies of the computer hard drive.when my Public Defender via me asking him to ask the court (judge Curle) can we the defense see and have the same access to the same hard drive and or have a copy of the copies.The D.A replied the hard drive is missing and the copies of the hard drive is not all there as well.. The judge allowed the evidence 

(2)When evidence was presented showing said officer planting evidence in my apt.the D.A and my public defender off the record approached the bench and then the judge dismissed the evidence and my Public Defender then told me we don't want to open those can of worms,(meaning that's the time when you were forced to admit to said crimes while in a program that required the admission of guilt in order to even be in said program were else People vs West the court Error in allowing me to be admitted in said program when my innocence is/was my only defense. Meaning the whole time I am saying I am innocent) therefore all admitted guilt under duress and direct threat of prison not be allowed). 

When said victim admitted while on the stand that she indeed would and did do anything including lie to get her drugs when faced with criminal charges pertaining to drugging and robbing of me her lie was to say I had sexual contact with her when as the police report clearly indicated the police officer coerced said victim to accuse me of the said allegation of sexual contact.. My Public Defender never brought this to light or in front to the jury. I asked my Public Defender to ask the police officer while on stand "is it most likely that a known drug dealer to allow a police officer to search his/her home.the officer said "YES".. 

The next day my nephews fiancée told me that she had a sexual relationship with the D.A Tommy Anderson..i was shocked.when the D.A saw my nephew in court with me he in turn called my family member and told her not to support me and that I was going to be convicted. not in those exact words but he indeed made contact to discuss my case with my family member.after learning about this info I then asked my family member what is really going on.She told me she was sleeping with him as friends and that the D.A also was sleeping with a friend of hers who now and then made Porn movies..I said WOW.I asked her (Melissa Holmes) if she would come to court in my support she said the D.A told her Not too that I am  a bad man. Upon leaving the court house for lunch. I with my girlfriend and another older friend (Grandmother in support) were standing out front of the court house talking when I saw court bailiffs gathering around me. I thought "now what did I do". they said they just got a complaint of some type of disturbance in front of the court house.all the bailiffs gathered close to me as if it had to be me, I was with two white older females and the only people in front of the court house so it had to be me why the were called. I made a comment that why because im black it has to be me why the call was made.I was scowled by the bailiff for that comment.turns out it had nothing to do with me.so I asked then, why was I surrounded by bailiffs. 

Today in my P.O box I get a letter from SSI saying I have multiple warrants for my arrest and that starting in May 1st 2008 they will withhold my benefits til the matter is resolved. This is all that I know on this Issue. 

My public Defender gave me wrong court dates or it was just a miscommunication between me and the public defender. On the 28th of  Feb I showed up to court along with my witness who has filed documents saying she had court on this date with me, I was arrested on the spot while standing in court, I looked at my Public Defender and out loud said "what's going on, what did I do wrong". He said you missed a court date, I said that's impossible, I have not missed a court date in 8 yrs, and if I did, you would have asked the judge to give you 15 mins to call me and I would have been here, you never called me .not only that you didn't call me a day before or the day of court or even the next day to tell me I missed court, in fact you didn't call me any day after and its been almost 2 weeks, instead you waited til I walked in to be arrested. I was arrested on a FTA (failure to appear) and was able to see the judge the same day, the judge saw that it was a miscommunication and  indeed i never missed a court date in 8 yrs and ordered my release, the D.A said he will file charges on the FTA, the judge said you can do that but it probably wont hold, 
4 days later a warrant signed by a different judge went out for my arrest and I was arrested and had to used my rent money to bail out of jail and  now SSI is withholding my benefits saying I have warrants. I asked my Public Defender (Ted Loos) to get this problem resolved and have the FTA thrown out or can I get my money back, he said its nothing he can do it's a civil matter and to be sure I let him know where I moved too, My public defender told my witness not to have any contact with me prior to court on the 2nd of April, my witness has been in my life for 9 yrs and we talk almost everyday during the 9 yrs, never about my case cause she is just a friend.now she is being told not to talk to me at all, I don't understand why. 

Ted Loos.Public Defender.530.245.7598 

I will try to terminate Ted on Wednesday the 4th My next court date 

P.S     I told my public defender about the possibility of sexual contact between my family member 
(Melissa Holmes) and the D.A... I only told my Public defender How did the D.A know about Melissa Holmes? I believe my public defender informed the D.A of Melissa Holmes which means Ted Loos is giving vital info to the D.A and not working in my best interest.

Today april 2nd 2008 i went to trial thinking its my day to be heard.Finally my side of the story would be told..and again i was so so wrong,only one side of this whole case is being heard or addressed, i did however was allowed to have two of the four witnesses to be put on the stand in my behalf..both witnesses were right on target explaining how i could have never done these said allegation against me..and what type of man i am..the D.A had another plan for my witnesses, his plan had nothing to do with the questioning of my witnesses, his plan (see transcript 
04-02-08) was to send hidden influences to the jury, to put thoughts that will be set in their minds, not once not twice not three times but four times, 

Prior to the statements the D.A made, the court (judge curle)had made it clear the statements i made while under direct threat and under duress while in a program not be used (mentioned) in court or infront of the jury ie...(are u aware mr peterson admitted guilt)..objection by my public Defender,sastain...first warning, the D.A ended up doing it three more times, by this time the damage was done...My public defender ask for a mistrial, the judge simply DENIED the request for mistrial.. 

i requested a Marsden hearing so the judge cleared the court room, i explained to the judge no part of my story is coming out, that the D.A and my Public defender agreed that as long as i dont take the stand the D.A wont bring up in court how i admitted to the allegation..i then told the judge i was threaten into admitting and always claimed im innocent which is why i was terminated from the program thinking now im going to prison for not admitting even more guilt,...mr peterson i understand you are(were)between a rock and a hard place, but that issue has been address.i said judge the D.A has mentioned statements from that program to influence the jury more than once, my public defender sits as if there is nothing that can be done, there is only one side being heard...motion for marsden DENIED At this point i was angry but didnt show for fear of hurting my case...it was just to many things not allowed to be heard in my favor including one of the most important issues, Why i contacted the police in the first place, cause i had been giving asprin which turns out to be what knocked me out, then robbed..the jury would never know...now im being charged for those asprin cause it turned out to be a controlled substance,this whole case is dead wrong and i am not recieving a fair trial..the truth of the matter is... 

8 YRS ago i was told by shasta county Public Defenders Office (transcript 04-23-01) that i would not recieve a fair trial and probally will go to prison.. I have lost all faith in the LAW in shasta county.... 

To actually witness a police officer out right LIE and the D.A and judge supported that LIE has shocked me to a point of never trusting the LAW again.
