If you read this and would like me to add some one to it let me know I will gladly add them it is sad very sad that these people are corrupt and do not care about their clients
PUBLIC PRENTENDERS CONT.
Ever ask for a lawyer because you could not afford one? And the one that you get will not do anything to help you ?Well you are not alone!! This is happening all over the country. Lawyers seem not to care if their clients are guilty or not. sometimes false reports are given to the courts and the prentenders do not even check to see if it is true. If a person used your name and was arrested you pay the price. Don't think your prentender is going to do anything to help. Because there is not enough money in it for them.
Public prentenders oops public defenders
"Public prentenders that prentend to defend"
The Public Defender Creed "I am a public defender. I am the guardian of the presumption of innocence, due process, and fair trial. To me is entrusted the preservation of those sacred principles. I will promulgate them with courtesy and respect but not with obsequiousness and not with fear for I am partisan; I am counsel for the defense. Let none who oppose me forget that with every fiber of my being I will fight for my clients. My clients are the indigent accused. They are the lonely, the friendless. There is no one to speak for them but me. My voice will be raised in their defense. I will resolve all doubt in their favor. This will be my credo; this and the Golden Rule. I will seek acclaim and approval only from my own conscience. And if upon my death there are a few lonely people who have benefited, my efforts will not have been in vain." Jim Doherty, Cook County, Illinois Public Defender
IT IS A SHAME THAT A LAWYER THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DEFEND PEOPLE FORGOT ABOUT THIS CREED! OF COURSE OUR CORRUPT COURTS DON'T HELP ONE BIT. A PERSON COULD LEARN FROM JIM DOHERTY.

A BROKE SYSTEM
"Give me a blow torch and a pair of pliers and I can make anyone talk"
"AL Capone"
This is what the states attorney Doug Hoffman must of thought when he threatened Hailee Moore when she told him she did not want to testify against Aimee Bockhol to bad the papers are printing one side of the story we have asked them to interview the family but they have not as of yet. I want every one to know how corrupt the county of Jefferson in Mt Vernon is how can a states attorney threaten his own witness and Hailee told this to all of Aimee family even the fact that McKenzie Green was self mutilating himself in the court house and no one knew this!!
What a joke this is!!
Our parents taught us right from wrong always to respect our elders , the police because they would help you and that our courts were fair and had equal justice for every one. We grew up believing in God and that everything had a reason for it. Well our courts are corrupt the judges are corrupt the cops still take payoffs and are even more corrupt then ever The whole judicial system is broken your not even safe in your own home.
"How many more cases of wrongful conviction have to occur, before we can all agree, that this system in Illinois is broken, Stated the former Governor Ryan in 2003 when he stated there were to many wrongful convictions in the state of Illinois and the whole country the courts in Jefferson County Mt Vernon IL. are also corrupt along with many other counties here
please donate and help us raise money for her appeal and a new lawyer

Aimee
Aimee was looking forward to going to college and had just decided she wanted to go into nursing she also had told her older sister she wanted to go to California to visit her and her nephews.
On March 14th 2012 Mackenzie Green forced his way into our home and her life has become a nightmare please donate and help us raise money for her appeal and a new lawyer You can write to her at Aimee Bockhol 911 Casey ave c/o Jefferson county Jail Mt Vernon Il. 62864
The Nightmare begins
I want the public to know that a terrible injustice has been done in Jefferson
County, Illinois. On March 14, 2012 my daughter Aimee was assaulted by a
neighbor McKenzie Green after he broke into our home. We called the police who
came to our home, and the officer took the word of the intruder and arrested my
daughter! Aimee is 19 years old and only weighs 105 pounds. She was only
trying to defend herself against a man who towered over her and for this SHE was
arrested! Aimee is sitting in jail to this day.
There were three people in our home where this happened but the policeman who
answered the call refused to interview any of us! The police department has yet
to interview any of our witnesses to this crime. As you can imagine, a small
girl like Aimee suffered injuries as a result of the assault, and the police
officer didn't even take pictures of her bruised face and body. A neighbor who
was standing in our yard was also a witness and saw what was happening as
McKenzie broke our door and entered the house. I had to watch helplessly as a
policeman arrested and then drove away with my little girl, still hurting from
her injuries she got when McKenzie beat her.
No one ever read Aimee her Miranda rights. Aimee has never been arrested
before.
The local authorities are refusing to allow my family to file home invasion and
harassment charges against McKenzie Green.
Her public defender won't answer her letters or even to talk to her. Aimee
wrote a letter to him (the only way she can contact him from jail) asking him to
speak to me as her mother, and he didn't respond to this letter either.
The court has made Aimee's bond so high that we can't pay her bond to get her
out of jail, and so she is still there. Having to sit there day after day is
very frightening for all of us...especially for Aimee. The Jefferson County
state's attorney knows there is exactly no evidence to hold her, and insists on
trying this case. There can be no evidence because Aimee was only defending
herself....this man broke into OUR home! We want accountability! We want Aimee
released immediately and returned home!
The policeman who answered the call and the sheriff's deputies have already lied
in court documents.
Apparently law enforcement authorities here are very corrupt, and it's very
frightening to learn that they've done things like assaulting teens in a group
home and tazeing children...and these are the same people who now have my
daughter. I've discovered that even though lawsuits have been filed by their
victims, the police officers who have done these terrible things and more, are
still on the job have never been remanded for what they did. They seem to think
they are above the law and this is all a funny joke.
PLEASE HELP! I am demanding justice for my daughter and will post updates here.
Additionally, I'm asking for court watchers for her case. Please let them know
someone knows about this and is watching.
Her attorney's name is: Bob Verhines. His phone number is: 618-244-6013.
Please call him and demand to know why he is not doing anything in this case to
free my innocent daughter.
The state's attorney's name is: Darrin Rice. His phone number is 618-244-6013
(the numbers are the same because they are all in the same courthouse). Please
ask him why a innocent girl is sitting in jail there. There are laws in place
to protect people in their homes, but it seems in this county law enforcement
and the courts are making their own laws.
With police and courts like this in Jefferson country, no one is safe as long as
they stay in their positions. How can a person defend themselves and feel
comfortable in their own home with people like this who are supposed to protect
us but won't ?

Corruption in Jefferson County
On July 10th Aimee went to trial
THE PLAYERS:
DOUG HOFFMAN HEAD STATES ATTORNEY DARRIN RICE STATES ATTORNEY
JUDGE NICOLE VALLANI
TODD RINGEL: PUBLIC DEFENDER
. She had a new lawyer his name is Todd Ringo and he replaced Robert Verhines. her trial lasted all afternoon and the sheriffs department officers Adam Barbain and Detective John Kemp also deputy Jordan could not even keep their stories straight they stated under oath that they did not have to read Aimee her Miranda Rights and that taking statements from key witnesses was not important to do ! They never took any weapon from our home either!! That was not important to them, the real reason that they never took any weapon is they had touched the knives that were on the kitchen counter. and so if they would of thought they had anything they had already tainted the evidence if there was any .
Todd Ringo asked deputy Adam Barbain if he had spoke to anyone that saw it in the home and took statements his reply was he could not remember who he talked to but he had clearly stated in his statement to the grand jury that he had spoke to Aimee's mother . Which was another lie because he never spoke to her .
The deputy did not think it was important to read her her rights or even take any statement from the witnesses. this deputy does not need to be on any police force since he can not do his job.
McKenzie Green lied on the witness stand he gave three different stories and took 5 minutes to answer a question as to why he was actually there. never was it brought to light that McKenzie is a drug addict and a thief also he had been told numerous times to stay away from our home!
Hailee Moore was threatened by Doug Hoffman prior to the trial. he told her after she had told him she did not want to testify because she was not with McKenzie any longer and he was violent towards her that they had split up. Doug Hoffman had told Halie that he would put her in jail if she did not testify . he had to badger his own witness because he did not have a case!!!
Aimee had testified that she had told McKenzie to leave and not come back he insisted on breaking into our home! he also lied and stated that he was coming to ask Aimee mother to do his income taxes, knowing he was told she would not do them and he was not allowed on the property.
When Todd Ringo asked McKenzie why he came there he could not keep his story straight! This was a home invasion and we were never even allowed to press charges but instead they state has drug Aimee through this mockery of a trial and slandered her name.
The jury members were instructed not to come by our home or the home where Mckenzie and Haliee had lived. After the trial my oldest daughter and her sister and their uncle were sitting in my yard and saw a jury member drive by our home! Who is to say she did not come out there even befor they reached their verdict or any other jury member?
We have so called police officers here that could not tell the truth on the witness stand and had told several different stories and the judge never threw this out of court due to the fact that there was no Miranda rights read, the cops could not keep their stories straight and they had lied to a Grand jury!!
then you have a states attorney that threatens their main witness with jail time because she knew it was all lies!! Because she did not want to go and testify!
Aimee wanted to be a nurse and fought this case so she would not have any felony charges on her record she is innocent!!
We do not know how a jury even convicted her for this charge of aggravated battery one jury member worked with Aimee sister and never told any one.
Aimee goes for sentencing on August 22 at 9 am
