Mario Torres v. Mike Hansen, et al.
Whether Contra Costa County California's blanket policy of depriving a criminal defendant, the facts and the evidence (exculpatory or otherwise), surrounding their arrest and incarceration is an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law - and if so whether the policy violates a defendant's right to counsel, right to the due process of law, right to a fair court proceeding/trial, and my right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. I am alleging this is a policy that has been practiced and enforced by and/or, with the knowledge of the officers of the court, representing the Office of the District Attorney, Office of the Public Defenders & the Superior Court. The policy is said to stem from an unspecified California Supreme Court ruling claiming that it is unsafe for a criminal defendant to obtain facts or knowledge of his case exculpatory or otherwise.

Whether the lower courts were in error refusing to take my declarations, as truth. Declarations based not on heresy, but firsthand knowledge.
Whether the office of the public defenders and the public defender can be held liable for refusing to properly train and hire deputy public defenders, for practicing and enforcing a county policy of depriving a criminal defendant knowledge of the facts and evidence surrounding their arrest and incarceration, any and all pre-trial knowledge of any and all unprivileged information, to deprive a criminal defendant discovery that would allow him to educate himself in matters of his arrest and incarceration.
Whether allegations that the defendants conspired to get me unlawfully convicted, are legitimate, taking into account I was deprived knowledge of the facts and evidence surrounding my arrest & incarceration. Deprived discovery. Put on trial even after questioning the legality of being put on trial while deprived of the facts and evidence of my arrest and incarceration. The fact that all of the times I questioned the courts about the legality of my criminal proceedings, are not reflected in the transcripts. The fact that I was unable to confront a witness against me (Zierke) during my criminal trial.
