Dear Editor,
Police Officer Richmer Michel Patrick York is entitled to a just and fair court hearing which he has not yet received.
Police Officer R.M.P York is not a villain, nor is he a criminal but is rather a victim.
Police Officer R.M.P. York is an innocent victim that is being falsely and wrongfully accused of the shooting death of Mr. Hakeem Isidora. Officer York is also the victim of a distressingly faulty system – systemic malfunctioning law enforcement and justice chain involving the legal, Police Force, judiciary and penal prison system that have repeatedly skirted freely obtainable and easily accessible information that is vital, essential and directly related to Police Officer York’s court case, that if ever examined, would result in the consequential speedy exoneration and hasty release of Police Officer York from the present confines of prison.
This skirting of and omission of prior disclosure of information critical to the consequential exoneration and subsequent release from prison of Officer York represents a grisly violation of Officer York’s basic human rights to a just and fair trial in the court of law. This tragic violation of York’s right also represents a pitiful breach of the system of democracy.
The court proceedings, hearing and possible verdict relating to Officer York’s court case, slated for December 7, 2016, at the Philipsburg Courthouse, should not and cannot rightfully be the last hearing pertaining to Officer York’s court case until all of the relevant facts and pertinent information is properly and appropriately presented to the court in a manner and setting that is dignified and respectful of our democracy, judiciary and of the accused Police Officer Richman Michel Patrick York.
