RI Prosecutors Oppose Bail and Ignore the Rules, Statues and Constitution and Hold Without Bail (HWOB) – P1-2020-1991ADV

Rhode Island Constitution Article 1 Section 9 (R.I. Const., Art. I, Sec. IX) Right to bail — Habeas corpus was/is applicable to Mr. Colebut in District Court Case 62-2020-03831 and Superior Court Case P1-2020-1991ADV and has been violated. RI Art. I § 9 states in pertinent part: “All persons imprisoned ought to be bailed by sufficient surety, unless for offenses punishable by imprisonment for life…when the proof of guilt is evident or the presumption great. Section 9 of the RI Constitution goes on and states clearly that, The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety shall require it; nor ever without the authority of the general assembly.”

RI Gen L § 12-13-1.1 Hearings when state opposes bail section (a) addresses how the courts are to handle the prosecutions opposition to bail – that is when they argue that the defendant should be held without bail (HWOB), the RI Statue § 12-13-1.1(a) states in pertinent part: “In all cases where the state opposes the granting of bail in respect to offenses punishable by imprisonment for life…or of an offense punishable by imprisonment for life pursuant to the provisions of R.I. Const., Art. I, Sec. IX hearings shall be held in the superior court unless arrangements are made by the parties for a stenographic or electronic recording of proceedings in the district court.”

The rules and statues also require that when presented as a bail violator the court and defendant shall be given a copy of said violation report. After being unreasonably, unnecessarily and unlawfully locked in a cell on Monday, February 17, 2020 at approximately 1:21 AM and held incommunicado at the Pawtucket Police Station (and not being presented before a magistrate or judge on MONDAY morning at 9:00 AM) until Tuesday morning February 18, 2020 at 9:00 AM when presented in District Court Mr. Colebut. The defendant never received a bail violation report on March 4, 2020 in District Court Case 62-2020-00738

Rule 5 (a) is very clear in its language; “Any person making an arrest without a warrant shall take the arrested person without unnecessary delay before a judicial officer of the District Court for the division in which the arrest was made or in which the crime was committed.” Also, in Rule 5(a) it is clearly stated, “When a person arrested without a warrant is brought before a judicial officer a complaint shall be filed in accordance with Dist. R. Crim. P. 1(d) and (e). Whenever an arrest shall be made, the arrested person shall be afforded a prompt hearing for the purpose of admission to bail before a judicial officer of the District Court or bail commissioner.”

We cannot ignore these facts; on May 7, 2020 while Mr. Colebut was held at the Adult Correctional Institute, Intake Service Center he did not know anything about the new charge in District Court Case 62-2020-03831. Mr. Colebut was not physically presented in court, his name was forged on official documents.

On May 7, 2020 while while Mr. Colebut was locked up and serving 90 days for the 46(g) issued on March 4, 2020 in case 62-2020-00738 due to the new charges in case 62-2020-02013 the prosecutors faked a 46g and bail violator presentment in District Court Case 62-2020-03831 – for the same incident on February 17, 2020 – Mr. Colebut was not provided with a copy of that violation report on May 7, 2020 in District Court Case 62-2020-00738

The Pawtucket Police never proved Corpus Delicti they relied on a coerced statement obtained during a police detention and incommunicado, inhumane, lengthy interrogation that began more than six (6) hours after the RI E-911 caller was seized and arrested in his home without a warrant or probable cause in violation of Rule 5(a) initial presentment.

Two (2) months after the body was destroyed by cremation and evidence was allegedly lost e.g., patient’s top, hospital gown, I/O needle in the right tibia, the LMA BIAD mask and tubing etc., and after receiving the final toxicology report in late March of 2020 the medical examiner who performed three autopsies on Feb. 17/18 of 2020, Dr. Patricia Ogera, suddenly ‘amended’ her final autopsy report on May 4, 2020 and later on May 24, 2020 Dr. Patricia Ogera also amended the death certificate. Then on May 7, 2020 the police filed an indictable offense in district court to stop the defendant’s re-admittance to bail hearing that was scheduled for May 18, 2020 and canceled because of prosecutor misconduct and a fake 46g.

State of Rhode Island v. Victor Colebut – P1-2020-1991ADV

Shannon Signore and Jonathan Burke had a copy of he ‘original recording’ of the RI E-911 Call that Victor Colebut made on February 17, 2020 the night in question in this case and they intentionally withheld the dispatcher’s identity and the records of that 911 call from the defense for more than four (4) years – This is a viscous prosecution

Why would the Assistant AG’s, Shannon Signore and Jonathan Burke Hide Dispatcher Negligence?
