Pro Se Petitioner Victor Colebut was Blindsided Again

* 1/21/2025 – Order Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied *

* Stastical Closures 1/21/2025 Decided on Merits Petition/Relief Denied *

The Prosecution Never Met Its Burden to Hold Victor Without Bail According to Rhode Island Constitution Art. 1 § 9 when it opposed bail on July 29, 2020

RI Gen L § 10-9-1 General right to writ “Every person imprisoned in any correctional institution or otherwise restrained of his or her liberty, other than persons imprisoned or restrained pursuant to a final judgement entered in a criminal proceeding, may prosecute a writ of habeas corpus, according to the provisions of this chapter, to obtain relief from the imprisonment or restraint, if it shall prove to be unlawful.”

RI Gen L § 10-9-18 (2022) Discharge on failure to show cause for restraint “If no legal cause be shown for the imprisonment or restraint, the court shall discharge the party therefrom.”

A Bail Hearing was Never Set According to Laws and Victor has been unlawfully detained in pretrial status without bail or being tried for 4 years 11 months and 5 days as of January 23, 2025

In April of 2024 Victor became Pro Se and the first Pretrial Motions where filed by the defendant himself after 4 years of this type of abuse of powers by officers of the courts and those who work under the color of law.

The only other Pretrial Motion Filed was for a Speedy Trial and that was filed on August 31, 2020 by the Rhode Island Public Defenders who later on October 7, 2020 passed on the hearing without Victor knowing what happened and while he was waiting for his prompt and speedy trial.
