Question Presented (from Petition)

Why did the U.S. government allow Del. Deluca to arrest and detain Petitioner at the Orlando County Jail on December 30. 2007 without counsel? Why wasn't counsel provided to Petitioner on .lanuary 3. 2008 when Det. Deluca tried to interrogate Petitioner at the Orlando County Jail \Vhefl Petitioner signed 'NO' on his Rights Advisement Form and asked the ,detective to speak to an attorney? Why was Petitioner INDICTED on January 24. 2008 without the right to counsel? Did this nor violate Petitioner's Fifth. Sixth and Fourteenth U.S. Constitutional rights?

Is it not a Fifth. Sixth and Fourteenth U.S. Constitutional right to have Det. Deluca read the Rights Advisement Forni to Petitioner instead of Petitioner reading it to himself silently? Shouldn 't the tape recording done by Del. Deluca on December 30. 2007 be played to this Court showing Det. Delucas having Petitioner read the Rights Advisement Form silently to himself violating the Petitioners Fifth Amendment right?

Why did the U.S. government allow Petitioner's Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth U.S. Constitutional rights to be violated by showing an unreliable eyewitness four or five single photographs on January 3. 2008 after Petitioner had already been arrested and detained in Orlando County jail on December 30, 2007 by Del. Deluca? The unreliable eyewitness was shown four of five single photos on .lanuary 3. 2006 by Det. Deluca and is this not widely condemned by the U.S .. Supreme Court?

Why was Petitioner denied a fair trial by violating his Fifth. Sixth and Fourteenth U.S. Constitutional Amendments by not providing hini counsel prior to or on the date of his January 24. 2008 indictment? Isn't this a serious Sixth Amendment violation to be indicted on January 24, 2008 and then not appointed counsel until March 11, 2008? And the whole time being held in county Jail since December 30. 2007 on the same charge?

Why has not the U.S. government condemned the false testimony by Det. Deluca on July 14. 2009 after Petitioner has shown in all of his appeals that on January 3, 2008 the Petitioner did sign his Rights Advisement Form 'NO' "If you would like to speak to us now?" Petitioner also at that second asked to speak to an attorney. Is this not a severe Fifth. Sixth and Fourteenth U.S. Constitutional violation that Petitioner has endured?

Why has the U.S. government allowed Petitioner's Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to he violated by defense counsel's failure to not request the Florida standard jury instruction 3.6(1) to the jury? Is this not a Fourteenth Amendment violation of lack of due process by not having the alibi instruction not be given to the jury and Sixth Amendment violation as shown by prejudice done be defense counsel to Petitioner?

Why has the U.S. government constantly denied Petitioner over the last six years his Fourteenth Amendment rights of due process and Sixth Amendment for effective assistance of counsel NOT to have the Technical Service Report done by Det. Deluca on December 29, 2007 which included bloody footprints at the scene of the
