Recently, I received a letter I had requested from Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh describing the police corruption and harassment he has gone through in Lexington. His story is identical to mine and others. The stories just take place with different people in different places but the patterns are the same. Lexington has a fraternity type of police force that has gotten away with too much for too long and now believes it can do as it pleases to anyone it chooses.
Please listen to this plea from Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh and do what you can to help him. Feel free to contact me with any information you might have to help his case, my past cases or the murder of Deborah Wardlaw. Confidentiality, as always, is assured.
Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh:
While it might be beyond my ability to convey a respectable version of my dilemma in this small allotment, I wish to emphasize from the onset that the affects of what has happened to me cannot be understated and that if this account is somewhat beyond the standard length, it is so for the depth of the actions taken against me by a power well beyond my capacity to contend with.
As such, I would implore that my circumstance be given attentive and thorough consideration as I am, quite literally, under the most oppressive and sweltering attack at the hands of the Lexington Police Department; an attack which I fear will not end until either I have been unjustly incarcerated, murdered or until such time as responsible parties are held accountable for a most egregious affront to liberty, justice and all things idealized by civilized humanity.
Let the facts be submitted to an impartial eye.

Even sadder is the fact that the chance of a criminal defendant in financial circumstances below upper middle class obtaining access to competent, experienced counsel is a total crap shoot unless the defendant has political connections or the alleged offense is of such a high-profile nature (murdering a movie star or the like) that the so-called "celebrity attorneys" pick the case up for the camera exposure (and in most cases have their staffs -- admittedly usuall pretty competent -- do everything but the facetime).
Before you ask, I do three times the state bar's requested number of hours of pro bono (free) legal service. The real source of the problem is that taxpayers simply will not fully fund a legal services agency for such people because they are convinced that the vast majority of defendants are guilty anyway (which is actually true statistically speaking, but that does little to console the truly innocent person being railroaded through the system for whatever reason (spite, coverup, incompetence, take your pick). Such agencies are ALWAYS operated on a shoestring and are pathetically understaffed in relation to the caseload.
Nobody has yet taken my suggestion that we allow the self-interested lawyers who never do an hour of pro bono if they can avoid it to assuage their guilt or more realistically just get out of the requirement, by paying a substantial annual fee that would then be passed directly through to the legal services agency (ies).

Pro bono work is good for the soul. We need more attorneys who would stand up for the innocent but can not afford adequate representation. Usually these are the easy target for prosecutors fast track to advancement.

That's a great idea. I will promote it, giving you credit for the idea, if you don't mind.

Unbelievable corruption of law enforcement and judicial system. The sad truth is the defense attorneys will not go against the local prosecutors or law enforcement.
