Anthony Hoti v. City of Warren, Michigan
1. On 12/11/2017 the City of Warren attorney Caitlin Murphy and the sitting juror Susan Palombo had prior secret conversations before the jury trial started in our case "City of Warren vs Hoti " as the court transcript shows.
Is it an external influence on the jury when the prosecutor and one of the sitting jurors had prior secret contacts before the trial starts?
2. On 12/13/2017 I was convicted by the jury on the charge of the "Disobey lawful command ".
The city of Warren's ordinance of disobeying lawful command states the following.
"No person shall refuse to obey the lawful command of any police officer, member of the national guard of the state, or member of the armed forces of the United States of America. No person shall fail to disperse when directed to do so by a police officer. "
The question presented for review is:
The second part of the ordinance states:
Does the police have the authority to disperse anybody anywhere within the city even if there is no reason for that order to disperse?.
3. When the police arrested me and my wife on 12/05/2016 there was no crime committed and police had no probable cause to arrest me.
The question presented for review is:
Is an arrest made for disobeying lawful command lawful if there is no crime being committed?
Whether the prior secret contacts between the prosecutor and a sitting juror constituted an external influence on the jury
