assistant: Hysterical reaction on PLEASE to anyone who mentioned possibility of false
accusations was the main reason I founded and continue to moderate this echo

assistant: Hello, Rick:  Thanks very much for your information.  I will indeed call
VOCAL and get first hand knowledge.  That's always in order.  I still want to
know about VFALSAC.  Is it a support group, or activist group?  Any
literature? I want very much to compile a resource list of groups which help
the wrongly accused of any crime, and/or who help right wrongs.  I know of
Centurion Ministries, but aside from my recent knowledge about VOCAL and
VFALSAC, know of no other groups or individuals.  I just feel that those of
us who have been exposed to injustice (personal, family, or friend) could
help remove some big stumbling stones for those coming after.  Looking
forward to knowing about VFALSAC.  Thank you.

assistant: Hello again, Rick... no sooner had I replied to your first, than I found your
second message.  Thank you _very much_.  I will try to find FMS, or ask this
BBS to carry it.  Also, in your Child_Abuse_Issues forum, is there any
discussion about finding legal help for wrongful charges/convictions or
imprisonment?  I need to connect with someone/s who can help my daughter.
Very wrongful prosecution by a DA bent on evil.  A _judge_ testified _for_ my
daughter, but her judge "misheard" it.  Later voted worst judge of county.
Not my purpose to enter into particulars, except to get myself in the right
areas. I will look for Child abuse issues, so I may learn more what that's
about. Again, thank you.

was proper. The tests had shown that the defendants were telling the
truth about how police handled the search.
   The appeals court sent the case back to the trial judge to
reconsider whether the polygraph tests should make a difference in his
ruling on the police search. Prosecutors in the case conceded that
polygraph testing could no longer be barred under Daubert, but argued
that the results in their case were properly excluded.
   Lawyers said the Fifth Circuit decision leaves open the possibility
that the court would allow polygraph evidence to be presented to
jurors as well. In the past, many courts have raised concerns that
jurors would be overly influenced by lie-detector results. But similar
concerns also have been raised about DNA evidence, which has become
more common in criminal cases, even though expert witnesses sometimes
disagree about the results.
   Judges believe that "polygraph evidence will overwhelm the jury,
which clearly doesn't happen," Prof. Raskin said.

assistant: VFALSAC is only a FidoNet Echo. It is not a  "support group or activist
group", it is simply the acronym I created several years ago when I founded
the "Victims of False Accusations" echo topic on FidoNet. I was and still am
active in the nationwide VOCAL organization, and did not want to give any
impression of an official connection between this echo and VOCAL, although
the subject matter is the same. I shall, after this post, repost the VFALSAC
rules.

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Perhaps you are what they call a `neo-Nazi'. I know of nobody else who
supports Nazi-ism and you are the only person who recommended Nazi-ism
and anti-Semitism.
Except in the Lazarus household??? Arise from the dead, Lazarus. Arise
from the dead!

assistant: Bob of 1:114/74.2, writing to Rick typed:
And I really appreciate your efforts and the tone of this echo...Even though
I don't post very often, I read it every day and find that the situation that
my wife was placed in several years ago is not unique and so we do not feel
so alone in our emotional state...She was falsely accused of shaken child
syndrome and convicted...She is now home after 18 months of the state
penetentiary and is doing quite well...The upside to our story is that the
CPS worker testified that she was _not_ a threat to her own children and we
were able to keep them.
Again, Bob, thank you for your efforts!

Write your reply.

assistant: With pleasure, Rick!  Centurion Ministries, address, 32 Nassau St., 3rd
floor, Princeton, N.J., 08542, Phone (609) 921-0334.  CM is a non-profit,
with full time staff of 3, and volunteers.  Reverend Jim McCloskey founded
it.  Work on cases in U.S. and Canada.  The brochure I have from them cites
12 innocent people freed from either long-term prison or death row (!).  My
understanding is that they take cases only after other appeals have been
exhausted.  Some of these people were mentioned in "Presumed Guilty," a book
by Martin Yant, formerly of the Ohio Dispatch (I think it's "Dispatch"
without looking it up). We know Marty Yant--specifically went to Columbus,
OH, to meet him.  One heck of a dedicated man.  He plans to do a story on
"our Innocent" one.  As usual, for those who have a heart to help humanity,
there is no dearth of work, so they're often overworked and over-reached.
Centurion also only takes on dire cases precisely because they lack
resources.  It comes down to money, perhaps, and that's why we're interested
in networking--what scattered people cannot do alone, many can.  Thanks,
Rick, for advising me that PLEASE and...Child_Abuse, was it, generally don't
discuss wrongful allegations or convictions.  Did you answer my other
questions--about your interests?  I am at a total disadvantage until I get a
system to operate downloads.  A friend gave me a message retrieval system,
but after installing, it didn't work.  Meanwhile, do you believe, I have to
take notes when I read anyone's message? I will learn (or get the right
system).  Thanks again.  Just wrote to someone else that I asked a popular
columnist to run my request for groups or individuals interested in righting
wrongs.  If that works, our list would be on it's way!  Blessings.
