Shannon Signore and Jonathan Burke assume all black men are criminals who should know the law – if that were true there would be no need for the Sixth Amendment
5 Years Illegal Pretrial Detention – Neronha hesitated to act
“As Attorneys General, we will carefully scrutinize each and every action taken by this administration. If the Constitution or federal law is violated, we will not hesitate to act.” (RI AG Peter Neronha)
It is believed that RI Attorney General Peter Neronha’s above press release statement is untrue. The case of State of Rhode Island vs. Victor Colebut is evidence of the government violating the United States Constitution to secure a wrongful conviction by any means.
The Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office and many of the Court’s Judicial Officers as well as members of the Rhode Island Public Defender’s Office have knowingly violated the Rhode Island Constitution and the United States Constitution.
RI AG Peter Neronha did not act.
Constitution of the United States
Sixth Amendment
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.
Constitution of the State of Rhode Island
Article 1 Section 10. Rights of accused persons in criminal proceedings.
In all criminal prosecutions, accused persons shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury; to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against them, to have compulsory process for obtaining them in their favor, to have the assistance of counsel in their defense, and shall be at liberty to speak for themselves; nor shall they be deprived of life, liberty, or property, unless by the judgment of their peers, or the law of the land.
Justifying a Fourth Amendment Violation in a Home by Overzealous Law Enforcement Officer’s is a Public Danger
Section 14. Presumption of innocence — Securing accused persons.
Every person being presumed innocent, until pronounced guilty by the law, no act of severity which is not necessary to secure an accused person shall be permitted.
He dialed RI 911 for medical assistance; the police responded he was handcuffed and forced out of his home while barefoot and nearly naked in February. He was transported for ‘investigatory’ purposes to the police station where is was locked in a cell; isolated for 10 hours.
At 9 am Monday morning he should have been presented before a magistrate or justice; he was not.
A violation of the Federal Constitution Rule 5 (McNabb-Mallory Rule) and the State of Rhode Island Rule 5(a) Initial Appearance requirement as well as the Corley case law was ignored. Detective Hans Cute and Detective David Silva proceeded to abuse the Reid Technique to obtain a statement to obtain incriminating evidence to use against the 911 caller.
Section 13. Self-crimination. No person in a court of common law shall be compelled to give self-criminating evidence.
To secure a conviction by any means is the worst type of prosecutorial misconduct.
Constitutional Violations in the prosecution of this case were ignored by Attorney General Peter Neronha while his assistants, Shannon Signore and Jonathan Burke, viciously prosecuted a case with insufficient evidence for five (5) years. Systemic Racism and Inequity in Rhode Island is a serious public issue.
Pawtucket Police Exploited a RI E-911 Medical Emergency Call – Violated the caller’s human and Constitutional Rights and made an unwarranted felony arrest in a home – Violated RI Gen. L. 12-20-7 Right to Use the Telephone by locking the 911 caller in a cell for 10 hours – Violated Federal Rule 5 and State Rule 5(a) Initial Appearance. Abused the Reid Techniques during an accusatory, incommunicado lengthy interrogation that began more than 6 hours after the man was arrested in his home and taken into police detention.
Justifying Police Dispatcher Negligence is a Public Danger
The Pawtucket Police Department Policies and the RI Good Samaritan Act were enacted to encourage individuals to dial 911 when someone is overdosing without the fear of the police exploiting the call to make a felony arrest and that is exactly what the police did on Februray 17, 2020 when Kristine Ohler overdosed inside of Mr. Colebut’s home.
A call for an unconscious woman located at a Pawtucket Public Housing residence where known recovering addicts with criminal records lived.
JUST BECAUSE THE POLICE LIED ABOUT THE 911 CALL AND THE PROSECUTOR’S SOLD THE JURY THE POLICE FABRICATED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STORY TO COVER-UP THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW THE PAWTUCKET DISPATCHER DELIBERATELY CANCELED ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT AND THE PARAMEDICS IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACTS
Pawtucket dispatcher, Michael Fidalgo, on duty on February 17, 2020 was not called to testify at trial; why not. He needed to tell the jury why he canceled medical assistance and the paramedics for an ‘unresponsive female’ – why he STAGED the EMTs and basic life support – why he chose to dispatch a ladder and water engine – why he re-routed the call to the police – why he falsely reported an ‘unconscious female’ as an ‘unknown medical’ – why he falsely reported the 911 call as a death investigation. A life was lost and the dispatcher who would not dispatch Emergency Medical Services (EMS) walked away unquestioned; how convenient.
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha has never investigated the 911 Call Taker, the Police dispatcher or a RI E 911 MEDICAL EMERGENCY CALL AND HOW IT WAS HANDLED when a LIFE was LOST; why not?
Kristine Candace Ohler’s condition worsened and became fatal while in the care, custody and control of the Pawtucket Police and Fire Departments for 24 minutes. The police did not DISCOVER an unconscious woman Victor Colebut dialed RI 911 to and begged and demanded a rescue and medical help for a NON-RESPONSIVE FEMALE. The facts do not lie dishonest people do.
When the EMTs finally arrived 33 minutes after Victor Colebut dialed 911 Kristine Ohler had no active bleeding. According to the treating EMTs she had bruising on one side of her face – that was consistent with her passing out, falling and hitting her face as she had numerous times before.
February 17, 2020 Kristine Candace Ohler overdosed. The only difference from any other time Kristine Ohler overdosed and passed out is the fact that she was inside of Victor’s apartment when it happened.
If she had passed out outside in the street and Victor dialed 911 and the police responded and learned about the active no contact order then he may have been arrested for that and violated for bail and served his 90 days for a 46g.
The Pawtucket police fabricated a murder and extorted a statement to prove corpus delicti to cover up their own negligent conduct that led to the sudden death of an overdose victim who was denied medical assistance. Once they gained entrance into Mr. Colebut’s home they abused their power and his Constitutional rights and neglected to do no harm and a life was lost.
It is believed Detective Hans Cute called David Silva who was the mastermind behind the how to and the two of them conspired and worked hard to frame Victor Colebut.
To disregard the Pawtucket Police Department policies and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Telephone policies and the Good Samaritan Law just to justify dispatcher misconduct and an unlawful false arrest is no harmless errors.
