TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND JUDGE - admin - 06-29-2025
I was stripped of my public defender over my objection, and now the court expects me to retain private counsel with $6,250—an amount that is categorically insufficient for a case of this complexity. Once that money is gone, I’m expected to go into debt to defend myself against a prosecution built on a general search warrant—a type of warrant that has been unconstitutional since at least Marron v. United States, 275 U.S. 192 (1927) and reaffirmed in countless rulings since.
I am being forced to choose between liberty and legal representation. This is not justice—it is a constructive denial of my Sixth Amendment right to counsel, a violation of my Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and a direct affront to Article I, Sections 2, 6, 8, and 12 of the Illinois Constitution.
The State of Illinois is not just prosecuting me—they are defending a warrant that never should have existed and doing so while denying me the means to fight back. That is not due process. That is systemic abuse.
