Question:
The pretrial hearings were set. The hearing was pertaining to both cases against me which consisted of seven counts. My dad also stood accused on the Indiana indictment which consisted of just 4 of the 7 counts. I had seen my dad since I moved to New York and only spoke to him once a few weeks prior when he got robbed at gunpoint. I felt really bad for him and even though I was still upset with him for always being there for everyone else instead of me. I decided to call him because I had been a victim of violent crime several times myself in Indiana and knew how traumatizing it is and how I was never the same afterwards. I cannot remember the last time that I had spoken to him but I do remember the one time that he was there for me after I was robbed at gun point.
The guards came to my cell and handcuffed me to take me to the pretrial. Although he had cut me loose, Mark's words about being guilty until proven innocent popped into my head. I was embarrassed to be handcuffed in front of my grandma and the rest of the family when this was not even a violent offense. I will never forget how sad and depressed my friends and family looked over the situation while they were sitting and watching the entire scenario unfold. The assistant prosecutor on the New York case, Barbara Brooks, came out. She looked high strung, acting as if she was strung out on crack, fidgeting back and forth and nervously tapping at either her pen on her pad or her foot. The prosecuting attorney, David Capp didn't say much nor did he seem to know what was going on. He was there though. The assistant prosecutor for the Indiana case, Jesse Barrett was there as well. He was a guy in his thirties with balding hair. He said that he had just been assigned the case and had to review it so he really did not have much else to say. Barbara Brooks had withdrawn from the Indiana case because she did not know how to prove the case. It seemed the case was so weak that none of the other attorneys in the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Indiana wanted to take the Indiana case. Mr. Barrett, the newest and thus, the lowest attorney on the totem pole got the case handed to him. Judge Jon E. DeGuilio entered next. He was tall and looked out of it like he was on sedatives. He had very low energy and did not seem to have a clue about what was going on. My public defender, Robert Truitt, was running late and finally arrived fifteen minutes after the judge had entered. He brought this big briefcase in and pulled out a folder. I looked at the folder and it had "stolen gun" written on it. I told him that was not my case but he just looked at the judge and apologized for being so late.
Barbara Brooks immediately in a panic told the judge that the speedy trial requirements did not apply here since it was a complicated case and they needed time to review the documents. The government had already supplied the documents on a disc to me on both cases which I was able to review. None of the typed documents on the Indiana case were signed or dated. On the New York case there were just a few typed applications that were signed and dated but nana's name (grandma) was clearly forged on those applications. Andrew Weiske's name was typed as the loan interviewer on the New York properties and the few typed applications that had "signatures" of nana also had his signature on the applications as the loan interviewer. The rest of the applications just like on the Indiana case were not signed or dated. On all of the applications on the Indiana properties, the loan officer's name, Andrew Beam was just typed in. My dad and I wanted a speedy trial but the judge quickly said that it would be delayed to give the prosecutors time to review all of the documents. That was strange because usually the documents would have been reviewed prior to the indictment but according to the prosecutors they needed to look at the documents.
My "lawyer" just sat there the entire time and had that deer in the headlights look. My heart sunk to my feet as I saw the disaster slowly unfolding in front of me. I asked the judge if I could have another lawyer appointed to represent me since my public defender had never represented a white-collar case before and didn't seem to competent enough to understand the case or how to defend the case. The judge denied my request. Soon after the marshals handcuffed me and transported me back from the hearing back to the jail. My attorney and I did not relate with each other. I was not a hardened criminal, so I did not fit in jail. In the end, I preferred to just wait alone in my cell because the other inmates keep telling me that I liked like I didn't fit in and didn't belong in jail. I grew up being bullied and put down my entire life being called a gay fag so was used to never fitting in.
I still could not understand why I was charged because I never took any of the applications and my only responsibility on the New York properties that my grandma purchased was to disclose paying the down payments which I did. The loan officer never did an application with me on behalf of my grandma nor did I provide him with any false information as the indictment charged me. On the Indiana properties I was living in New York and Anrew Beam was the loan officer and the one listed on all of the applications in the government's evidence. I had never promised "good tenants" or "good homes" that would never need repairs. That is impossible to assure someone of. I had never provided any false information. I just went back to my cell and waited and didn't even eat that night. My trial on the New York properties was only a few weeks away as I waited in a word that I did not fit in and sunk deeper into depression.
