The priorities of the Committee For Public Counsel Services indicate they do something beyond providing defense counsel to indigent defendants. Like all bureaucracies the main purpose is to maintain itself and to grow larger. It is curious that when the Cambridge police were hired to arrest me on behalf of a local crime family, the CPCS provided a charming young lady who provided no counsel and laughed at me when I was being questioned. It shows that even among the allegedly public spirited (taxpayer funded) CPCS lawyers, they pick and choose who to help and who to let the government do what it wants to do.
During that masterpiece of a police frame-up seven lawyers were paid to not put on any defense. One judge threatened that if I testified about what the police did to me, he would stop the trial and have me put into a hospital. Another judge refused to appoint any legitimate defense attorney and forced me to represent myself. So much for paying lawyers with taxpayer funds.
Why not let defendants appear by themselves. At least they may get a hearing instead of being framed by lawyers and police. The incident occurred five years before Judge Wolf exposed the James Bulger FBI informant abuses, up to 60 homicides protected by the FBI. 17 years later Bulger is finally on trial and gets better representation than I ever did. The Boston FBI used the MA state courts to put four white men (Peter Limone, Joe Salvati, Louis Greco and Henry Tameleo) in prison for a murder they did not commit. This all indicates that the courts are as corrupt as the political system and the legislature in Massachusetts.
Courts get less scrutiny than the other branches of government and voters remain silent about the pervasive corruption. This goes on openly in a state dominated by education. In state where education is dominated by Harvard University. Five law schools in the Boston area remain silent along with the several government schools, and the many political science departments. What are they teaching in the Massachusetts universities?
