Corrupt Prosecutors
Wow, I hope the jurors have been reading the news about the corrupt prosecutors and judges in Orange County. I doubt there is much in the OC Register, because they protect the justice system, but other papers have carried it. The prosecutor on Dean's case has been mentioned too. I hope this all helps with his appeal since we are appealing on the illegal and corrupt practices of the prosecutor. How are people supposed to get fair trials when the prosecutors get away with lies and subterfuge? Karma will come around. It always does.

Governor Brown
Recently in the news, there was a request for parole/pardon for a murderer, former Mexican Mafia member, who had a history of violence, and even killed someone in the jails in front of guards. Since his incarceration, he has turned on the mafia, and become an informant for all law enforcement about the Mexican Mafia. The FBI, and some prosecutors are behind him and think he should be pardoned. His last murder was in 1998. He did not even get life without parole, like Dean did. It amazes me still that Dean was given life without parole even though he has never been violent before, and does not have three strikes. How can that even be legal? Yet this Mexican Mafia murderer comes up for parole on a case that is not even as old as Deans? Dean was and is not a threat to society, yet the state will be housing him forever.
Governor Brown did not grant the Mafia informant parole, saying that because he was now a target from the Mexican Mafia, that he puts anyone near him in danger. Good for Brown. I agree.
I hope that one day, he will be granting Dean parole or a pardon. Dean will be 40 years old on March 11th. I had so hoped that he would be out by his 40th birthday. He has been punished enough for being involved in a gang.
I sure hope that the conscience of every jury member is preventing them from feeling true peace and happiness. It has to be gnawing at their soul whether they realize it or not. Passive people are the biggest cowards and losers in life. Mean people only bring misery on themselves, and kind people bring love on to themselves. Dean had no kind jurors. Too bad for them.

Helpful posts
Christmas has passed. We spent a nice family one, minus Dean of course. He called though and talked to many. He was lucky to have a delicious Christmas meal. Ironwood cooks special things for the holidays. The prisoners are grateful for that. Hopefully this new year will bring Dean's release.
We got two helpful posts on this blog recently. One sent us to the link for the Innocence Project. The other to a new podcast called Serial which takes a true crimes story and retells it in episodes, and lets the audience decide guilt or innocence. I think that Dean's case would be perfect for this type of thing. Now...how to get their attention to Dean's book is another thing.???? Any suggestions out there?
About the Innocence Project.... they were involved with Dean's case since the first conviction. They helped us with various experts. They finally had to give up when every effort to talk to the snitches was rebuffed. The innocence project believes in Dean's innocence from various other evidence and non evidence, but says that they cannot do anything about dumb juries. The only way to get a new trial is to win the appeal for one, or convince a snitch to change and tell the real truth to help Dean. So far, neither one has given results yet.
The Innocence project has helped win reversals with trials using DNA results that were not used in the first trials. This could not apply in Deans case. The DNA in his case complicated things in the minds of the jury.
But, Thank You to the person or people who left us these helpful links. We always look for new ideas in getting Dean's freedom.

News article on OC snitches
I just read an article in the OC Register on the use of jailhouse snitches by the prosecutors in Orange County. Not only do they use criminals to help them with their cases, but they spoil these criminals while they are in jail, and also pay them big money. Once they have the information that they want, they do not release it to the public defenders on the cases. Finally, a judge is acknowledging this corrupt behavior, but of course makes excuses for the prosecutors. Don't prosecutors realize that criminals lie, and that the info that they come up with could be totally bogus? Maybe, they do realize this, but do not care. Prosecutors move them in the jail close to someone or in the same cell with someone that they want info on. What I would like to know is: If the informant actually found out that the accused person was innocent, and the taped conversation has him stating his innocence; can that be used in court for the defendant? Most likely, the defense would never even know if such a tape existed. I wonder if one does in Dean's case. Maybe somewhere, a planted snitch in jail with him ,was taped and Dean declared his innocence.
It seems to me that many cops make up most of the evidence in a case, so as just to get it over with. As long as they are arresting a "criminal", then it is alright to frame someone. When it comes to gang members, no one cares if they are guilty or innocent of a crime, just as long as they are off the streets.
So if any one reading this is a young person who thinks joining a gang is cool, DON'T! You could get accused of a crime that you did not do, but because you are a gang member, you will get convicted in Orange County.
One of Dean's snitches was a professional one, and the other thought he could tell a fantastic story that would solve his problem of getting out of prison, and that Dean would be able to prove his innocence, and get free. His story was so unbelievable, that he thought jurors would be smart enough to see it, and let Dean go. Of course, he did not realize that it did not matter. Orange County jurors are not bright, and only want to lock up anyone who is or was in a gang. Then in the second trial, the two previous defendants with Dean turned on him, and thought that if they just stuck to this fantastic made up story, that a better jury would let him go, and then every one would be free; because when they turned, they became free from prosecution. They already knew the bogus story, because they sat through the whole first trial and listened to it. They already knew that Deans DNA was not on the sock with the victims DNA, and they knew that the DNA on his shoe was closer to their DNA then to Deans. Surely, a jury would understand that and not convict Dean.
Too bad that the prosecution would not give a deal to them for the real truth. They should have told the real truth anyway, but they did not want to go back to prison. They know that they will have to answer to God if they do not make this right.
It should be against the law to use criminals as snitches. Criminals are liars, and will say whatever they need to,, to get the deal and not stay in prison. Our justice system is very flawed.

October wedding
Here it is October already, and one week away from Andrea's wedding. It will be such a special event. Sadly Dean cannot be there, but he is so happy for her. She is marrying a wonderful man.
Dean received another long fan letter from a man who read and enjoyed his book. He went into depth about it, and Dean really felt good after reading the letter. Getting letters from readers and friends and writing them back is what makes Deans' life in prison bearable. Keep it up people.
Have a happy fall.

A visit from a Fan
This last week-end, a fan of Dean's book flew in from Washington to visit Dean in prison. She is an emergency care R.N.. I took her through the journey of the 3 hour drive, and the ordeal of going through visitor processing. She has a son going through difficult teen years. His situation is identical to what Deans was when in high school. After two days of visiting with Dean, she said "He is exactly what I pictured. I am even more sure now of his innocence, and that it is a tragedy that he is not out giving speeches to young people and parents." She wonders how any one could have ever thought that he was a murderer. Well, 12 dumb, lazy, punitive minded jurors did. Orange County is full of them, and the prosecutors know just how to pick them. Smart jurors always find a way to get out of jury duty. Such a sad pathetic system.
I encourage any jury member to write Dean in prison, and ask anything you want. He will answer you. If you want to visit him, ask him for a visiting form . You must get approved by the prison, but then you can go visit. He is open to talking to anyone. He has more forgiveness in his heart than I do. His address is at the end of his book or right here.
