I am looking for some Case Management Freeware, but first let me give a
background:
I am assisting a woman who is charged with "Group Use of National
Forest Land without a Permit." The US District Attorney is seeking a
prison sentence.
The woman was on the land concurrently with a gathering of about 26
thousand people who gathered to pray for peace. The Forest Service is
prosecuting her because she refused to apply for a deniable permit for
herself and the other 26 thousand people before going to the wilderness
to fellowship and pray. It is the position of those assembled that one
does not need a license for peaceable assembly and worship, these acts
being rights antecedent to government. Furthermore and individual
cannot stand as surety for 26 thousand other people without their
express consent. To do so would be fraud on a massive scale. Any who
would apply for such a permit would be open to thousands of civil
lawsuits on his lone self.
On top of that, for questioning an officer about his motives, the woman
is being charged with "interfering with the duties of an officer" and
"blocking a Forest Service road." She asked for names and badge numbers
of officers present. Their ultimate response was to say that her query
constituted "obstruction" and charge her with such. Also, it is the
Forest Service that was setting up road blocks and searching people's
vehicles without warrants.
The US District Attorney also said this individual woman is responsible
for "junk vehicles littered all over the national forest" and the
"destruction of a sensitive archeological site" which site was actually
a ten-year-old garbage dump full of whiskey bottles and campers' trash
which the assemblers helped clean up.
Then she was charged with "failure to appear" although notice to appear
was not served. This is a matter of record and not in argument at this
time. Basically, what began as a ticket with a collateral fine of $100
is turning into a dog-and-pony show that could get this woman months in
a federal prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
Thus I am looking for Legal Case Management Freeware to organize all
data to mount a vigorous pre-defense until competent counsel can be
enlisted to take the ball and run. I cannot afford the bucks for paid
suites as this case and related events have depleted the cash supply.
My only alternative is to put dozens more hours into finishing a
program of my own. But events are moving too quickly for me to finish
it in any useful timeframe. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Please post to usenet any reply; I will not get any messages sent via
email.
