This is not a lost cause… Troy only lost because he was incarcerated when this case came up and he was not notified. He is only incarcerated because they made his life so difficult on probation by deliberately making homeless and participate in mandatory programs daily that he could not even work. This man has a home but they won’t allow him to go home to it. For him it was the better choice to go back to prison to finish the time because they made it impossible to exist outside prison. Suffolk County, NY is so corrupt that the police are arresting law abiding registered citizens that spend time at locations other than their home address, under the guise that they “moved” and didn’t register the new address as their home address! They do this because the current SORA law allows sex offenders to register their primary address and spend as much time as they want away from that address. Most of the people arrested in Suffolk take a plea because they know all the lawyers are part of the political corruption and they won’t be honestly defended at a trial. To make matters worse you can’t get a fair jury trial because the charge “failure to register” already imprints a prior sex crime in the jurors minds even if it was not against a child thats what they usually believe. Either way they already want to convict the person before trial starts. This is all being accomplished through Suffolk’s new Community Protection Act that was mysteriously passed as an emergency, giving a publicly well known hater of registered sex offenders, and her like minded pals the right to stalk, harass, and accuse registered citizens using the Suffolk County police dept to back her up and enforce her and her friends accustaions against registered citizens. Police in Suffolk have submitted false documents against people just because they are registered as sex offendres. Defense offered is all part of it and there is no shot at a defense against this kind of corruption. It’s so deep no lawyer would attempt to go against it. We really need Janice’s help out this way!
