Don and Teri Adams Background: Letter of Trey Mayfield to 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals

Don Adams | 9/24/2006 | Earl N. "Trey" Mayfield, III, Esq.

[TAdams8591]

People have gone to great lengths (both in real life and on the net) to distract and scare us off this case and even off this board. Despite that, we are NOT going to QUIT or LEAVE.

[backhoe]

backhoe, Thank you for so well maintaining the archived posts, and for posting the links. We are deeply grateful for all the support after all these years. : )

I greatly appreciate your kind words- I am just "an old keyboard cowboy," you and Don were in the trenches. My highest regards to you both.

[Palladin]

Please remove me from this PING list.

Thank you.

[TAdams8591]

Thank you. : ) But being a keyboard cowboy is being in the trenches and is NEVER easy, don't sell yourself short.

We well understand our chances, JAJ. But we've been at it far too long to quit now.

I wasn't suggesting to quit.
I was suggesting that it never should have gone on so long.
With people pleading guilty in criminal cases I would expect civil cases to be easier.

Just wondering why they didn't seem to be easier.

[TAdams8591]

Agreed. No doubt the case should have been concluded, and in our favor, by now.

When the civil end began, Ed Rendell was campaigning for governor, which slowed the deposition and judicial decision process. When the Third Circit court rendered it's decision (among others not in our favor) that our case was not a Federal matter, and should be remanded to State Court, we appealed. Because Midge Rendell, wife of Ed Rendell sits on the third circuit, we requested the Third Circuit recuse itself which they did. A hearing will now be conducted by the three judge panel tomorrow.

[Just another Joe]

Ahhhhh, OK. It starts to become clear,
I wish you and Don all the luck in the world and hope you win BIG.

[RadioAstronomer]

Thanks for the update!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Thanks for the ping. I was just thinking about this case yesterday (the Lynne Stewart sentencing reminded me another Lynne, the corrupt D.A. Lynne Abraham, which reminded me of this case)

March for Justice bump

Adams BUMP!

[Syncro]

we are NOT going to QUIT or LEAVE.

Yer damn right!

I remember this as if it was yesterday.

Some things need to be fought until the last blow is thrown.

Thanks for the post, Physicist

Everyone should also know it was Rendell who told Morris to have Don prosecuted by filing a private criminal complaint. We have it in an affadavit supplied by someone listening in on that phone conversation.

[geezerwheezer]

Rendell should have to go to a proctologist every day for a year. This dude is bad to the bone and the MSM refuses to believe it or even report it. Good luck, and do you plan on selling the Govenor's mansion when you own it?

[Taxman]

Taxman Bravo Zulu to Don and Teri Adams (and to you, as well, Physicist) for keeping the faith in the justice system, despite all manner of adversity! Surely you will prevail!

This incident triggered the March for Justice on Oct 31, 1998, as has already been noted, and the March for Justice is the reason I (and, I suspect, many other FReepers) joined FRee Republic.

What a wonderful ride it has been since then! I very much regret that Don and Teri got assaulted for exercising their First Amendment rights, but the upside of that incident has paid enormous dividends.

We have made a difference, FReepers, and we must continue to do so!

Not to change the subject, but we have a chance to make a difference on November 7.

We must vote to keep the Democrats FRom assuming control of the US Government -- VOTE! and get your FRiends, neighbors and relatives to VOTE.

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, and Harry Reid, Majority Leader of the Senate should be all the inspiration you or any other conscientious American needs for motivation!

Voting Republican on November 7, irrespective of your disillusionment and differences (and, I must confess that I have more than my fair share of them!) with the Republican Party, should be a no-brainer once the horrific notion of Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid takes ahold of your thinking mechanism!

Democrats simply must not be allowed to gain control of the US Congress!

And, to keep that FRom happening, we must Get out the Republican Vote!

Now, get to it!

How did it go today?

We feel generally well represented by our attorney, Trey Mayfield, who made a solid case on our behalf.

The three judge panel consisted of a Reagan appointee, a Carter appointee and a Lyndon Johnson appointee. The hearing was about an hour in length. One judge was particularly adamant this case was a free speech and constitutional question.

Because this hearing is of a more delicate nature than the others, we do not feel at liberty ourselves to discuss it in greater detail and hope you all understand. Some media was present from the Philadelphia Inquirer and Bulletin. We hope they cover the matter and then we (or who ever sees it first) can post it on this thread, by itself or both.

Thank you and everyone so much for your interest and concern. Please keep us and this case in your prayers.

Physicist, when you have the time, I would be most appreciative if you could ping the list again. And thank you again, for your excellent work. As I was just saying to Don, I marvel at the fact that you are always so thorough, and never make a mistake.
