2A Ray makes oral objection to case; 70 jurors file in

Defendant in bogus case makes allocution of his right to be heard despite attorney representation

After an argument with his attorney, Ben McGowan, 2A Ray this morning stands at the podium in the courtroom of criminal court judge Amanda Dunn and forces into the record of the case his objections to legal points that he says contribute to the case being irregular and prejudicial.

He says he has a right to speak as himself in for himself in the trial even though he has an attorney, who represents him but does not have authority to overwhelm his right to be heard by himself, per the 6 amendment of the federal constitution.

The judge says, “you have a lot of issues with how the case is prosecuted,” hence the jury of his peers. They make the decision how the case is prosecuted, she says, and the objections he raises are “raised in front of the jury.”

2A Ray says his constitutional rights are violated, that the trial proceedings are peculiar. In 2020 he appeared for trial in front of Tom Greenholtz, but the DA was not present. He says the grand jury that initially indicted him is slighted in the superseding indictment, but that also the grand jury that indicted him was acting on prejudicial grounds, using a long-unused alias as his real name with his real name being presented as the alias. Mr. Rzeplinky tells judge Dunn that the case is prejudiced on many points.

Mr. Rzeplinski says district attorney Coty Wamp who was counsel in the Hamilton County sheriff's office prior to her election as prosecutor, worked on the case and has an unfair bias via involvement in her 2 roles.

Judge Dunn says Mr. McGowan argued Brady evidentiary rule violation allegations and malicious prosecution claims — and she denied them all.
