In this page, I will expose one of the many misconducts done by the Assistant State Attorney that was assigned to my case, Mr. Dennis Siegel. As it will be shown below in the multiple motions I filed, while representing myself between 1999 and 2000, the Court ultimately recognized Mr. Siegel’s obvious misconduct, and for that reason, granted my Motion to Dismiss the two frivolous Counts. However, the Court still chose no to adequately impose the fair sanctions the Assistant State Attorney deserved for breaking the law. Instead, the Court swiped this infraction under the carpet. More to the point, this infraction was a plain “Perjury During An Official Proceeding.” (The Judge’s misconduct is exposed in a separate page of this website.)
In fact, it was in March of 1998, when the Office of the State Attorney filed the Original Charging Information in my case. Although, this information is an under oath pleading, which unambiguously states:
“Personally appeared before me Dennis Siegel, fully appointed as an Assistant State Attorney of the 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida by Michael J. Satz, State Attorney of said Circuit and Prosecuting Attorney for the State of Florida in the County of Broward, who being first duly sworn, certifies and says that testimony has been received under oath from the material witness or witnesses for the offense(s), and the allegations as set forth in the forgoing Information would constitute the offense(s) charged, and that this prosecution is instituted in good faith.”
Mr. Siegel, the author of this under oath pleading, after obtaining the required under oath statement from the victim in this case and obviously knowing that her accusations did not mention any allegations involving the assailant’s fingers penetrating her anus, Mr. Siegel, still chose to formally charge me with this unfounded crime, a life felony offense that he knew or should have known neither took place nor the victim’s accusation included such offense. Furthermore, equally improper was that Mr. Siegel charged me with a third degree felony offense that he knew or should have known was expired by the Florida Statute of Limitations. Thus, the Assistant State Attorney Mr. Siegel, recklessly disregarded the truth of the victim’s accusations and furthermore disregarded the law in Florida governing the Statute of Limitation, in order to bring more charges against me and cause me more prejudice in front of the Court.
As explained in the multiple motions that I filed subsequent to this “Motion to Dismiss,” Mr. Siegel should have been sanctioned, like anybody else would have been sanctioned for breaking the laws of this State and abusing his power as an Assistant State Attorney. Otherwise, as I humbly requested from the Court, Mr. Siegel should have been, at the very minimum, removed from my case, due to the conflict of interest arriving by his undeniable misconduct. But, of course, this is just another aspect of the pattern of misconduct that has been going on in my case.
Thank you,
Ernesto Behrens.
