Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the presumption of innocence mean that if a judge will not read everything a defendant in a criminal case submits to the court that the judge must rule in favor of the Defendant?

Doesn't a defendant in a criminal case have the right to assistance of counsel?

Doesn't the U.S. Constitution and federal law allow a defendant in a criminal case does to attack a completely unconstitutional, illegal and unjust decision?

Why cannot Mr. Verkler get protection from double jeopardy?

When was the U.S. Constitution changed so a defendant in a criminal case can be subject to an infinite excessive amount in fines without court order, be denied an hearing or any due process or private property taken be taken for public use without just compensation?

Since USA breached the plea contract and refuses to remedy the breach that the Defendant may rescind the contract and withdraw the guilty plea?

Since when can the court make up any standard it wants to commit a crime against a person?

Doesn't a US citizen have protection under the Constitution and the Law?

Isn't it true that there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution or federal law that gives anyone in the government authority to commit a crime, a tort, conspire or lie against an American?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the presumption of innocence require a judge to rule in favor of the defendant if the judge will not read everything the defendant submits?
