Blacks in New York are Turning Deaf Ears to Black Victims © By Alton H. Maddox, Jr. (Attorney-at-War) After I was fired from Harlem Assertion of Rights in 1976 for refusing to betray the parents and students of Cooper Junior High School, 120th Street and Madison Avenue in Harlem, I started to practice criminal law. This firing had been prompted by the Gang of Four to satisfy the racism of Mayor Abe Beame. Any public school, of Black students, that was succeeding, had to be closed. When I started the practice of criminal law, the court system was a police state. Black lawyers were forbidden from sitting on the front benches and their clients had to wait until the cases of white lawyers had been called. When a Black defendant was on trial and requested water, the court officers would always fill the pitcher with water from the toilet. No one had the temerity to complain except myself. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau summoned me to his office. My constructive escorts were Cong. Charles Rangel and the late NYS Secretary of State Basil Paterson. Dr. Calvin Butts, C. Vernon Mason and Sterling Johnson, the special narcotics prosecutor, and now a federal judge, heard Morgenthau read me the riot act. I must learn to behave like all Black judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers and law enforcement officers --or else. Afterwards, Morgenthau would falsely charge me with assaulting court officers and obstructing justice. I would also be prosecuted on a false disciplinary complaint after I had beaten the criminal charges in Manhattan. No hearing was held but this unproved charge and conviction provided the basis for an illegal, five-year suspension on August 1, 1994, from the practice of law. This illegal suspension resulted from a judicial conspiracy. Now, New York, without according me any semblance of a hearing, is claiming in Brooklyn Federal Court that I was disbarred in 1994. At worst, I should have been reinstated to the practice of law in July 1999. The suspension order of August 1, 1990, in providing the basis for a five-year suspension, falsely represented that I had been disciplined in Brooklyn for assaulting the court officers. I had not. I was acquitted, after a jury trial, in People v. Maddox. A five year suspension was not only arbitrary and capricious but also cruel and unusual. It has amounted to an “indefinite suspension” from the practice of law. This illegal suspension is akin to the “indefinite suspension” of Ray Rice from the Baltimore Ravens. This judicial conspiracy was extended to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. A separate license to practice law existed in Brooklyn Federal Court and in Manhattan Federal Court. I am still licensed to practice law in any federal court. This is why the City of New York rushed into Manhattan Federal Court on September 6, 2014 to settle the so-called Central Park 5 while I was in Staten Island because of People v. Ramsey Orta, the videographer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner. I have never been accorded a hearing in any federal court. The settlement hearing was initially scheduled for October 2014 at the earliest. Twenty-seven years ago, Tawana Brawley was found with her body smeared with feces and bearing racial epithets and exhibiting other evidence of having been raped. Black people have refused to perceive this rape as a class action or a derivative action. Instead, it is a personal injury action. After a key, female official of National Action Network was also raped by ten men, no one in the Black community sees it as a class action. Ten condoms were found at the crime scene. She was also drugged. The white prosecutor has refused to prosecute the white conductor of the freight train, Sanford Rubenstein and attorney for National Action Network. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is now saying that this is another false allegation against white men. He said the same thing after DSK of the IMF had raped Nafissatou Diallo in his hotel room in Manhattan. Instead of a judge dismissing the indictment, according to law, he, instead, unilaterally and illegally dismissed her claim as being perjurious. Now, Bill Cosby is being fried on belated and time-barred accusations by white women. On WWW.REINSTATEALTONMADDOX.COM, I write journal-like articles almost daily at a cost of Twenty-five Hundred Dollars monthly, at my expense, to enlighten my people. Most Blacks are in prison not because of race but because of ignorance of the law. Whites do not have to play the “race card.” This website seeks to substantially reduce the number of persons entering in the prison-industrial complex. Only one percent of the persons who receive these missiles, as Sis. Utrice Leid describes them, make any donation of any kind to support the website to combat state-sponsored violence and the prison-industrial complex. If I could find investors who would give me temporary relief, I would be able to help Tawana who is impoverished, unemployed, and destitute and has a child. While white women were fashioning a Womens Equality Agenda for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Black women chose to keep quiet. No help is accruing to Tawana Brawley. White supremacy is a class action because it is an action against a class of descendants of enslaved Africans. Predators, acting under color of law, are not only jeopardizing our daughters but also our unarmed sons. So far, no Black father of a victim has taken any action against a white supremacist. Of course, any response should be a group action and not an individual action. I agreed to provide pro bono representation to the Brawley family. Steven Pagones is unable to show that New York had subject-matter jurisdiction over his claims. I was also able to convince the jury in Pagones v. Maddox, et. al. that Pagones was one of the attackers. Yet, Pagones is able to convince the Commonwealth of Virginia that Tawana should be subject to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. I satisfied my part of the bargain. Now, the Black community must step up to the plate. Tawana Brawley also needs an attorney. Visit WWW.REINSTATEALTONMADDOX.COM for my political and legal writings. IMPORTANT NOTICE For more than two decades, several thousand persons have received my invaluable, writings on politics, law and military science, free of any cost, even though the fixed costs to publish them including research, writing, editing and publishing have exceeded over Twenty-five Hundred Dollars monthly. There is also now a need to upgrade equipment, legal literature and software and to resume the practice of law as the private attorney general without “judicial bullying.” “Freedom is not free.” No one should ride the back of another person. This is an accounting principle. Make contributions for a free and educational press and for a legal defense fund for the U.S. Supreme Court to redress an odious grievance and provide an emergency, legal defense fund for Tawana Brawley only to: Friends of Alton Maddox P.O.
