Even though this website has been intended to exclusively expose and emphasize on the manipulation of the inculpatory DNA evidence of my case. Through this page also, I will attempt to summarize in a chronological manner, each one of the areas in which the State Officials assigned to my case, manipulated in one way or another, my case. So, like a book which is written with multiple chapters intertwining all the facts, each and every State Officials’ misconduct of manipulation taken place in my case, has been exposed in the multiple pages written in this website. However, for those readers that were not able to grasp the multiple instances of manipulation by the various State Officials involved in this case, I will be breaking down those multiple instances of manipulation in a summarized chronological manner:
BSO Crime Lab DNA technician Donna Marchese, without doubt, manipulated the sole inculpatory evidence in this case–the green fitted sheet, on more than one occasion. Additionally, she also manipulated the DNA that she allegedly found on the fitted sheet while at the Crime Lab, as has been clearly exposed in the multiple pages of this website.
BSO Crime Lab DNA Population and Statistics Consultant Dr. Martin Tracey, without doubt, manipulated the odds of the calculation available at the time of my trial, by presenting to the jury, the much more prejudicial odds he obtained pursuant to the RFLP DNA testing procedures, which yield the much more prejudicial matching numbers of 1 in 14 billion people. Instead of presenting to the jury, the already available and less prejudicial matching numbers of 1 in 454,000 people pursuant to the PCR DNA calculation procedures. Dr. Tracey in fact, manipulated the numbers given to the jury by 13 ½ billion in order to show more prejudice towards my case.
Plantation Police Department Lead Det. Steven Geller, without doubt, manipulated the facts stated in the Probable Cause Sworn Affidavit prepared in my case in order to create probable cause for my arrest. This has been clearly exposed in the other pages on this website. Additionally, as clearly shown all over the face of this case’s record, Det. Geller manipulated and kept BSO Crime Lab DNA technician Donna Marchese under pressure while demanding her DNA matching results.
Coral Springs Police Department Latent Examiner Joel Geller, without doubt, manipulated the Police Department Latent Fingerprint Logs in order to incriminate me in one of the cases stated in the Probable Cause Sworn Affidavit to Arrest me. This way, making me look like the suspect of the unsolved cases. However, as explained before in the other pages of this website, I ended up going to trial on this fingerprint case and I was ultimately acquitted by the jury, after they concluded that Latent Fingerprint Examiner Joel Geller did in fact tamper with the fingerprint evidence of that case, as it was successfully proven at trial.
Assistant State Attorney Dennis Siegel, without doubt, manipulated the victim’s under oath statement in this case and furthermore, manipulated the original charging information by charging me with a life felony offense that never took place. These allegations have been unambiguously exposed in the other pages of this website. Additionally, Mr. Siegel charged me with a third degree felony offense which he knew or should have known had expired by Florida Law regarding the Statute of Limitations. In other words, I was prejudicially denied bail after being acquitted multiple times because of the severity and quantity of charges pending in this case.
The Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Ron Rothschild, without doubt, judicially manipulated the seriousness of the Assistant State Attorney Dennis Siegel’s misconduct as he charged me with a felony punishable by life in prison, even though, the victim’s under oath statements did not include such accusation, and the Statute of limitations have been already expired on the third degree felony Count. In fact, although the Judge ultimately granted my “Motion to Dismiss” the two unfounded Counts. When I moved for sanctions to be imposed against Mr. Siegel for committing perjury during an official proceeding, Judge Ron Rothschild denied my facially sufficiently filed motions. The Judge’s judicial manipulation of Mr. Siegel’s serious misconduct, ultimately permitted Mr. Siegel to still represent the State of Florida at my trial. Notwithstanding, the undeniable and obvious conflict of interest existing in this case and by the State of Florida being represented by Mr. Siegel.
The Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Alfred Horowitz, without doubt, judicially manipulated the case’s factual basis to prevent my successful acquittal in this case. Where I timely claimed the expiration of the sixty (60) day window period of the Florida Rule governing the Speedy Trial on Demand. Specifically, where Judge Horowitz, failed to timely swear in the jury panel, before the expiration of the speedy trial time limitations. As the record clearly reflects, not only did I timely file all the necessary motions in relation to this Rule, but I also submitted a specific memorandum of law to the Judge in support of my position. Nevertheless, the Judge totally ignored the basis of my petition. Without this Judge’s judicial manipulation, I would have been acquitted under the Florida Speedy Trial Rule.
The Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Andrew Siegel, without doubt, judicially and vigorously manipulated my postconviction proceedings since 2005, when my case was appointed to his division until 2021 when he finally got recused from my case by a final order entered by the Fourth District Court of Appeal. Nevertheless, all documents filed in this case and handled by this Judge are published in this website under the page titled “Ernesto’s Court Documents.” Additionally, a quick independent review of the Clerk of the Court’s Docket speaks for itself. It shows all of this Judge’s 16 years consecutively denying my motions. But Specifically, it shows the Judge’s reluctant position in not wanting to order retesting on the currently available evidence containing DNA in my case, even though I have been claiming actual innocence for the last 25 years!
The Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Michael Usan, who has been recently appointed to my case, without doubt, judicially manipulated the outcome of my latest postconviction proceeding and recklessly disregarded my pro bono DNA Consultant Tiffany Roy’s Independent DNA Report. This Report highlights her personal concerns about the DNA evidence in this case. Nevertheless, Judge Usan without the State adequately rebutting Ms. Roy’s Independent Report, simply rejected my DNA Experts’ concerns and totally ignored my unambiguous claim of Innocence.
Without this Judge’s order to retest the DNA evidence, it will be impossible for me to prove my innocence. It is inconceivable to believe that all the trial Judges that have been presiding over my case, have been so against allowing me to prove my innocence. Especially, when my pro bono DNA Consultant is welcome to perform all necessary testing free of charge. In other words, there is absolutely no economical burden whatsoever placed on the State of Florida when conducting retesting in this case.
NOTE: the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s Docket in Case Number: 98-5739CF10A, clearly depicts all the above-mentioned entries and filings.
Thank you,
Ernesto Behrens.
