a) If not, is such a conviction and sentence void and/or voidable?

b) Does the fact that the Graft is paid by and/or laundered through a Pension Fund diminish the effect of the Graft on the subject-matter jurisdiction?

Must Petitioner's conviction and sentence be vacated due to the fact the judge in Petitioner's trial shall [and/or is] receive Graft for the conviction and sentence - pursuant to Turney v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510 (1927) and Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (1972)?

a) If so, is Petitioner considered a "slave" since he is now held as a collateralized commodity by an Arizona confederate corporation even though Petitioner has not been "duly convicted" in a court of competent jurisdiction as required by the Thirteenth Amendment and Article III of the Constitution?

b) If so, should Petitioner be "Emancipated" pursuant to the Emancipation Proclamation and/or the Thirteenth Amendment and/or this Supreme Court's holding in U.S. v. Amistad, 40 U.S. (15 Pet.) 518 (1841)?
