In Don't Talk to Cops, Part 1, James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and a former defense attorney, explains why even the innocent T.I. should never answer police questions, but instead, plead the 5th Amendment and only talk to his or her own lawyer.

(Updated 05/02/09)

An Appeals Court upheld the guilty verdict of a man convicted of stalking after defense lawyers tried to get the ruling overturned because the original jury asked the judge if stalking included the man using several friends and family members to stalk a woman in Washington state. Despite defense lawyers' arguments, the conviction was upheld.  For more detail, this Seattle Times article is reproduced below:

Washington high court: Stalking by third parties is a crime

By RACHEL LA CORTE

Associated Press Writer

A man who recruited his friends to follow an ex-girlfriend and file written reports about her activities was correctly convicted of stalking, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

In a 6-3 decision, the high court reinstated the conviction of Andre Paul Becklin, who was convicted in Ferry County Superior Court of using several friends to follow his ex-girlfriend, Mary Alison McGee. Becklin was sentenced to a year in prison, but his conviction was overturned by the state Court of Appeals.

The Supreme Court's majority, led by Justice Bobbe Bridge, said Thursday that the definition of stalking "is broad enough to encompass the act of directing third parties to follow and intimidate a victim."

Bridge was joined by Justices Susan Owens, Mary Fairhurst, Barbara Madsen, James Johnson and Tom Chambers.

Mike Sandona, the Ferry County prosecutor, said the court's ruling was important.

"It stops people like Mr. Becklin, who has friends do the things he can't do, disturb the peace of his ex," he said. "It's is an issue of fear and control over another person."

Becklin and McGee started dating in 1996, but according to court records, Becklin made threats to kill her and attacked her when she refused to get an abortion after becoming pregnant with their son.

McGee eventually left Becklin and married another man, before which Becklin briefly took their son without McGee's consent and tried to force his way into her home, according to court documents.

McGee got a protection order in December 2003, barring Becklin from having any contact with her or from coming within 100 feet of her or her home. The order also prohibited contact through third parties.

Becklin was arrested on April 1, 2004 and charged with stalking McGee after she said Becklin's friends repeatedly drove Becklin's cars by her house, circling her block several times. Friends would also fill out written reports for Becklin recounting their sightings of McGee around town.

Dissenters, led by Chief Justice Gerry Alexander, took issue with what they said were inadequate jury instructions that ultimately led to Becklin's conviction.

During closing arguments, both sides addressed the issue of whether Becklin should be held accountable for the actions of his friends, but instructions to the jury did not include any guidance on accomplice liability or the concept that a third party's actions could support criminal accountability for stalking.

After it began deliberations, the jury sent a note to the judge, asking if a third party was included in stalking and whether a person could be stalked through a third party.

The judge answered yes, and the jury convicted Becklin.

"Although one may be culpable for the acts of others through Washington's complicity statute if he or she causes an innocent person or persons to engage in criminal conduct or is an accomplice of the person committing the unlawful acts, the jury should receive an instruction" based on the state statutes, Alexander wrote, joined by Justices Charles Johnson and Richard Sanders.

Becklin's attorney, Anthony Castelda, could not be reached for comment.

Spotlight On: Walls of Deception by Bruno M.

Art: "Walls of Deception" by Eric Devan

Bruno M. of the Yahoo mcactivism forum offers a different viewpoint regarding T.I. harassment.

A lot of deception is used by the perps in making us think the entire world is against us. Along with hard-core stalkers who know what they're doing, I believe mind manipulation technology is being used on our neighbors, friends and family to make us think they're perps, by inducing perp-like mannerisms, steering conversations to use trigger words, and even making us think they're reading our minds. When combined with the stress resulting from our minds being manipulated with this technology to make us look and act crazy, it serves to isolate us from others.

Another use of deception is making us believe perps are crawling around under the house or in the attack, that they have directed energy weapons in their houses, cars or on their person, or that they're dragging around directed energy weapons in the apartment above or below us, "following" us from room to room. They may leave clues, like candy wrappers in the attack; they may quickly close the curtains to make us think they're hiding directed energy weapons; they may be carrying around a gizmo we feel we are being zapped with; there may be suspicious-looking people near our homes to make us think they're tampering with something nearby; they may leave strange powder-like substances or make us discover our computers have been compromised, making us think we're being set-up to be arrested for harboring illegal substances, for having pornography on our computer, etc. This is all being done to run ourselves ragged. (This is just based on my strong hunch from my personal experiences and from listening to T.I.s tell their stories in person and in phone conversations.) Crawlspace and attic noises can be induced, along with suspicion-evoking feelings directing our attention to certain things via synthetic telepathy. Neighbors can be mind manipulated to "follow" us from room to room, to laugh coincident with something we're doing in the privacy of our home, or even to leave their house at the same time we're leaving ours, without their even being aware of it.

Perps are masters of deception, and their goal is to get us to obsess on this stuff. By setting clear goals or limiting the time we spend contemplating this stuff, we can better take back control of our lives.

With a word of thanks to Bruno M., this concludes today's entry and and we hope that A Word to the Wise T.I. is sufficient.
