unusual trial developing
by more(sorry) 10:47am Fri Mar 30 '01



Comes now the Defendant, James Dalton Bell, who declares that
he is effectively and unwillingly unrepresented, and that
his 6th Amendment Right to Counsel has been repeatedly and
intentionally violated since on or about December 1, 2000.
Defendant Bell has repeatedly sent letters to the court asking
for substitute counsel, and two separate motions by attorney
Robert Leen have been essentially ignored since mid-
December, 2000.

15. Defendant Bell would like to remind those who read
this motion that he has written every single word of it,
and believes that it will go far to show that, despite his
very arguable lack of tact, that he is quite capable of
assisting in his defense and is even more capable of
identifying sham proceedings.

16. Whereupon Defendant Bell motions the court for
the following sanctions to be imposed on the corresponding
officers of the court:

Attorney Leen: $5,000 per day subsequent to December 1, 2000,
and continuing until his removal by appropriate authority;
payable to Defendant Bell.

Prosecutor Rob London: $10,000 per day subsequent to
approximately December 1, 2000, and continuing until his
removal by appropriate authority; payable to Defendant Bell.

The Court, Judge Tanner: $5,000 per day subsequent to December
11,) 2000, and continuing until his recusal; payable to
Defendant Bell.

17. Defendant Bell motions the Court for immediate
removal of attorney Leen and prosecutor London by appropriate
proceedings.

18. Defendant Bell motions the Court, Judge Jack
Tanner, for his immediate recusal from this case.

Signed [Signature] 02/06/2001

14. On January 31, 2001, attorney Leen came for a so-
far "final" visit to Defendant Bell, where Leen made a
startling revelation: He said that he has been threatened
by "many" government people. Defendant asked him if he'd
reported these threats to any authorities and said "no." Def't
told him to report them, but he refused. Had Defendant not
"fired" Leen in early December, he would certainly have had
no-choice but to do so at this moment.

15. Defendant Bell believes that his Constitutional
Rights have been repeatedly and intentionally violated by
the both the individual and coordinated actions of attorney
Leen, apparently acting on behalf of and with prosecutor
Rob London, as well as with the knowledge and assistance of
the Court, Judge Tanner. The lock-step coordination of each
of these actors, particularly in the denial of effective
representation; the denial of discovery materials; the
blatant attempt at forcing Defendant Bell to sign the
Speedy Trial waiver; the emergency examination that the
failure of this extortion made necessary; and the failure of
the Court to rule on essential motions such as Change of
Venue and Representation; All of these make it impossible
to separate the responsibility and distinguish the misbehavior
of these players.

15. Defendant Bell would like to remind those who read
this motion that he has written every single word of it,
and believes that it will go far to show that, despite his
very arguable lack of tact, that he is quite capable of
assisting in his defense and is even more capable of
identifying sham proceedings.

Declan fights subpoena
by WWW 8:22am Fri Mar 30 '01


By this motion, non-party witness Declan McCullagh ("McCullagh"), a reporter for Wired News, an online news magazine published by Lycos, Inc., seeks to quash the trial subpoena served on him by the Office of the United States Attorney. That subpoena requires him to testify for the government at the trial of James Dalton Bell and produce copies of two articles written by McCullagh and published by Wired News ("the Articles"):

"Crypto-Convict Won’t Recant," published April 14, 2000; and
"IRS Raids Cypherpunk’s House," published November

I wonder... with the judge recently finding that those abortion terrorists *can* publish a web page listing and advocating murder of doctors, why is James Bell still in jail for publishing a page with names of tax officials and advocating their murder? Its exactly the same thing! Just one is prolife bs which politicians turn a blind eye to and the other is anti government! Behold how your corrupt leaders arbitrarily enforce the law!
