Police and Court Corruption – A Complete Breakdown of the American Judicial System

Nathan has been incarcerated since March 21, 2008. Convicted by a jury who had exculpatory evidence kept from them by both the Deputy District Attorney Steve Moawad (hereafter Prosecutor) and his private attorney Dirk Manoukian (hereafter Counsel). The jury heard provable false testimony from the witnesses which was knowingly suborned by the prosecutor and corroborated by Counsel during closing statements. There were blatant eyewitness procedural violations and witness tampering by the Walnut Creek Police Detective Brian McColgin, who was caught on tape. We have an overwhelming amount of documentation proving that all parties mentioned above went to great lengths to keep two 911 calls and three eyewitness interviews from the court jury, his parents, appellant attorney, and him.

While there were numerous articles of exculpatory evidence turned over to Counsel by the prosecutor, the prosecutor failed to refer to any of that evidence before the jury. He did, however, make the claim during closing arguments that if more evidence existed, it would have been brought to their attention. Counsel neglected to disclose any of this evidence to the jury. Counsel neither had this exculpatory evidence examined using experts nor did he refer to it in any way.

After the trial, Nathan sought to obtain the entirety of his case file from Counsel so that he could use the evidence to substantiate both his ethics violation charge against Counsel and also for use in his appeal on the grounds of Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. Counsel, however, claimed in an email that numerous articles of evidence could not be turned over to him because he had to sign a confidentiality agreement before the prosecutor would give it to him. It is claimed that this agreement pertains to:

Two 911 recordings made during and after the attack
Two video interviews of witnesses
One audio interview of a witness/victim

The information in question was also kept from the Appellate Court, and that court’s opinion goes so far as to note the omission and specify the rule violation that occurred as a result of the omission (CRC 2.1040). As this evidence was not transcribed or given to the appellate attorney, his appeal had no mention of any witness identification issues.

To be clear, Counsel never mentioned to anyone that the prosecution made him sign a confidentiality agreement until 2011, years after Nathan’s trial was over. Throughout the trial and up until 2011, Counsel kept promising to turn the recordings over to Nathan’s parents.

This evidence would have not only impeached the witness testimony but would have stopped this case from making it to trial as admitted to by the prosecutor at the beginning of a Motion to Quash and Traverse hearing regarding the search and arrest warrant. A hearing with Judge Laurel Brady, Counsel, and Prosecutor that ended up being held behind closed doors to keep Nathan from hearing what was on the witness interviews and 911 recordings. A hearing where the judge denied his Motion to Quash based on evidence that was kept secret from him.

The evidence listed here was unlawfully withheld by the prosecutor and Nathan’s counsel, and it is crucial to Nathan’s appeal.
