John Case

And the convictions occurred because his identity was misrepresented as Gerald Wood instead of his real name, Conan Hayes.

Gerald Wood voluntarily agreed to let this gentleman use his county key card to get into the room.

And identify himself as Gerald Wood.

Gerald Wood agreed to that in advance.

So there was no identity theft.

There was no conspiracy to seal identity.

John, why did the judge not allow...

you guys to make that case.

What, and is that the basis, one of the basis for your appeal?

I mean, it's kind of shocking that these fundamental things of her intent and what she was seeing, uh, was not allowed in.

Why, why the judge rule that?

What, how did he come to that ruling?

He said that it was irrelevant.

If you can believe it, he said it was irrelevant and that it would confuse the jury if they knew that, um,

that the machines potentially could be rigged and that Tina was performing a federal duty.

He refused to instruct the jury on Tina's main defense, which was execution of a public duty.

The judge refused to allow the jury even to see a copy of the federal statute that Tina was obeying, 52 USC 20701.

So,

We you know, we only one side of the case was presented.

The prosecution side, we didn't get to present ours.
