I knew it but couldn’t prove it then (2015). See PDF:
I-knew-itShockingly, William Laubenheimer, died recently (RIP) so I can’t ask him to opine on the recent revelations. This is one instance where I think his demise was simple coincidence, thus the exception to my “rule” of not believing in coincidences. Regardless, with the limited information I had at the time (2015), I made a compelling argument that Ashely’s team was lying. As a consequence of Joe Howard’s refusal to comply with my e-mail demands, we can now conclude he was a part of Becker’s railroading conspiracy…
Let’s break it down. The NY Public defender’s office confirmed that I’m entitled to my case e-mails by complying with my request to turn them over (even though some e-mails appear to be missing, probably deleted on purpose — Whether that purpose was benevolent or nefarious will probably never be known).
Without knowing the exact mechanism of my railroading in 2015, the above pdf shows that I had a specific idea of what actually occurred when I declared that: “All these facts indicate that the visits never happened… or occurred inside a hidden iframe…”
When you google: “What ABA rules are violated when a defense attorney ignores his clients demand to prepare for trial and instead negotiates a conditional plea agreement?” Google will return a lengthly list of potential violations, thus explaining Joe Howard’s refusal to produce the requested e-mails. Especially since the chain of e-mails exchanged on July 30, 2015 prove he violated those ABA rules!
On September 4, 2025 I sent the Nebraska Counsel for Discipline a complaint about Howard’s failure to comply with my request for those incriminating e-mails. I await their reply…
