Abdul Awkal - Ohio Death Row

ABDUL AWKAL
Date:	9/1/2022

I recently found out that the prosecutor had thrown away my original parking ticket that shows that I had arrived at the courthouse at 12:48, and then replace it with a forged parking ticket that shows that I had arrived at the courthouse at 1:48. He added one hour to the parking ticket.

The prosecutor forged the timing of my arrival to the courthouse in order to give me the death sentence, and also to show to the juries that I had premeditate the crime. Without forging the document (the parking ticket), the juries would never have given me the death sentence.

I recently ordered my lawyers to stop filing for me, in the court, the House Bill 136, for severely mentally ill inmate. And then I asked them to test the DNA on the parking ticket. Because I am 100% sure that my DNA will never be found on my parking ticket because the prosecutor had thrown it away and then replace it with a forged one. And the only DNA could be found on the parking ticket is the prosecutor's. Thus, the court has to give me a new trial or to send me free.

Sadly to say, my present lawyers refused to test the DNA on the parking ticket, and start to lie at me saying, "The DNA will never be found on the parking ticket after thirty years. And told me that there is no court will reopen your case, and I have zero chance to do that".

The DNA will take 510 to lose half its strength. And it will last 6 million years if it sealed in a vacuum. And not to mentioned that the court, under post-conviction, will reopen my case because of this new evidence.

My layers are lying at me because they want to protect my ex-lawyer (Kevin Cafferkey) from any wrong doing. Because 20-year ago I told Kevin Cafferkey about the forged parking ticket but didn't do anything about it and refused to communicating with me.

Because my present lawyers (Timothy Sweeney, Randall Porter, and Kevin Cafferkey, too) refused to test the DNA on the parking ticket, therefore, I refused to cooperate with them or to visit with them. And because of this, soon my judge will close my case in Common Pleas Court.

Soon after I'll have to ask the court to hire a new lawyers to represent me in my new case and to test the DNA on the parking ticket.

You can use this information on the line if you wish.

Please be safe.

Your friend, Abdul-Hamid.

MEMO

FROM: TIM YOUNG

RE: NEW CAPITAL FEE RATE

In 2016 the Legislature enacted ORC 120.33(D). This section created the capital case attorney fee council which was charged with setting a unified capital case rate for appointed counsel. The members of the council are sitting appellate court judges appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court. This rate set by the council is to standardize the pay system across Ohio for capital defense work and to address large fundamental disparities between pay rates and caps from county to county, many of which are currently insufficient to ensure an adequate defense.

The council has completed its work and set the rate at $125 per hour for all stages of capital litigation in the state. This will include the trial, direct appeal, post-conviction litigation, Rule 26(B) challenges, new trial motions, and any other death penalty litigation carried out at the state level. Federal habeas will continue to be paid by the federal courts at the federal CJA rate (presently $187 per hour).

The council did not set caps for capital litigation and required that payment take place at least quarterly.

.....These cases and this new rate will be reimbursed pursuant to the applicable reimbursement rate and procedures. To facilitate this transition, appointed counsel should submit an interim bill for all work from the date of appointment through September 24, 2017, and that work is to be billed at current rate. Counsel should then submit interim billing at least quarterly, and include all work performed from September 25, 2017 through December 31, 2017 in the 4th Quarter, 2017 billing, at the rate of $125.00 per hour.

If you have questions, please contact Laura Austen, Policy & Outreach Director at 614-466-5394 or via email at laura.austen@opd.ohio.gov.

Finally I want to say that on 6/2/2022 I wrote 4-page letter to the State Public Defender, Mr. TIMOTHY YOUNG, and asked for his help to fire my lawyers and to appoint a new lawyers for me to reopen my case and then to petition the court to test the DNA on the forged documents that the prosecutor had planted inside my wallet in order to give me the death sentence, but he never responded to my letter. And I also wrote many letters to other lawyers and other nonprofit organization, but received no reply from them. And I want to say that all lawyers in America don't like to interfere with other lawyer's cases, no matter how bad the lawyer is representing his clients!!! Therefore I wish to find an honest and courageous lawyer who has the power to fire my lawyers and to represent me in my case.

Case NO. CR-92-276801-AZ

Honorable Judge Ashley Kilbane
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court
1200 Ontario Street
Cleveland Ohio 44113-1678

Your Honor, on 10/19/2022, I received in the mail two petitions from my lawyer that he had filed in your court in early October of 2022, concerning the first amended SMI (severely mentally ill) petition.

When I was reading it, I discovered that the prosecutor had planted inside my wallet another piece of forged evidence; it was a forged business card -- State Trial Exhibit #112. I'm going to quote from the transcript: "Also, a business card from the domestic relation court, which was founded in Awkal's wallet on January 7, 1992, and is part of State Exhibit 112, had the notation in writing; Tue. Jan. 7 at 2:00 p.m."

Your Honor, I never had any business card like this inside my wallet. And no one had ever gave me such a card, let alone with notation on it. And the only person who had informed me about the 1:00 p.m. meeting at the domestic relation court was my divorce lawyer, by phone. And the meeting was not at 2:00 p.m., it was at 1:00 p.m. But the prosecutor had added 1-hour to the forged business card to prove prior calculation and design, or premeditated crime, to the juror. But if my lawyers and my judge are willing to test the DNA on those two forged cards (the parking ticket stub state exhibit 124 and the business card state exhibit 112), they will never find my DNA on them because they don't belong to me. And if they are willing to test the rest of the other cards inside my wallet, they will find my DNA all over them.

My lawyers had lied to me when they said that the DNA on those cards will not be found there after 30 years. And there's no court will reopen your case.

The DNA will remain on those cards for more than 500 years, and if they were in a vacuum, or inside a sealed plastic beg, they will remain there for more than 6 million years!! And according to Ohio criminal rule 33, section 6, I am entitle for a new trial or to be sent home free.
But my lawyers want me to rot in prison to prevent me from filing a lawsuit against my former lawyer, Kevin Cafferekey, because he knew about one of the evidence (parking ticket) and didn't do a thing about it. And because this lawyer had refused to communicate with me about my case, I filed two complaints against him with Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association. But they didn't do anything to him but to protect him from any wrong doing.

My lawyers said in the petition to my judge that I am obsessed with the parking ticket. And betrayed me as a crazy person and delusional. Moreover, Dr. Tolley, the psychiatrist, said I'm crazy person, without even interviewing me or talking to me or meeting with me. How could that happen?

Your Honor, the only person can help me is you. Therefore I implore you to reject every petition that my lawyers are filing in your court. And I beg of you to terminate my case because I will never cooperate with anyone connected to this case. For I want to find an honest lawyer to represent me.

Your Honor, if the prosecutor is capable of planting these forged evidences inside my wallet, just imagine how many times he had done this to an innocent defenders?!! Thus, I will do everything in my power to expose him for forging those document; even if this is going to keep me on death row or to get me executed!!

My wife's divorce lawyer have been told to lie on the witness stand by the prosecutor and say that the meeting at the domestic relation office was at "around 2:00 p.m.". And she was happy to comply with this lie. On the other hand, the 1:00 p.m. meeting at the domestic relation court was canceled that day. And no one from the court had bothered to inform me, or my wife, or our lawyers, that the meeting had been canceled!! And not to mentioned that there were no one working in the court that day. But just you have to leave it to the prosecutor to forge the working schedule of that day to prove that there were people working in the court. And they lied on the witness stand, saying that they had witnessed the crime!!!

Your honor, I can also prove to you that I was not competent to stand the trial because I had helped the prosecutor to convict me of the crime. I also want you to know that I couldn't understand the English language because it is my second language. And I was an illiterate person too. I couldn't read or write. And I also was on a heavy psych medication which had impaired my thinking. And when the prosecutor asked me question about the time I arrived to the courthouse, I agreed with him that I came at approximately 1:48 p.m. Let me quote from the transcript:

Question: What time did you walk into the courthouse? The courthouse receipt says you pulled into the parking garage at approximately 1:48.

I Answered: Uh-huh.

But my parking ticket showed that I came to the courthouse at 12:48 and not 1:48. But the prosecutor had thrown away my original parking ticket and then replaced it with a forged one showing that I came there at 1:48 p.m. And it is very easy for the prosecutor to forge the parking ticket because the garage is in the courthouse building!!

Finally, the DNA test will prove that the parking ticket and the business card were forged by the prosecutor because they don't belong to me. And they will only find on them the prosecutor's DNA and not mine.

It is worth it to me to tell the truth for the sake of my child; and I had just done my part. So I urge you to read the confession letter that I had posted on the internet in 2012. Because my crime was "CRIME OF PASSION."

Sincerely;

Abdul-Hamid Awkal.

Note: The court will pay $125 per hour for any lawyer who want to represent me!! Thanks.

Petra, I'd like to edit the email of Jan. 5th, by rewriting it here below, so you can put it on the website.

Here it is:

The same life of lockdown you are living it in Germany we are also living it in Ohio. But if the Governor of Ohio, and of every State, force the people to wear a mask like the way he is forcing inmates in prison to do so, the number of death will be cut down in half. Nevertheless, if an inmate refuse to wear a mask, he or she will be sent to the hole for 15-day.

A few days ago a death row inmate died from the virus. The State used to tell us how many people have died from the virus in Chillicothe prison, but they stopped doing that. Now inmates have to ask around to see who has the virus and who had died from it. But the administration do test us everyday to see who has the virus.

I never tested positive for the virus, and never let my guard down -- I' m always vigilant and wear the mask whenever I leave my cell.

In December of last year Ohio's Senate vote to abolish death penalty for severely mentally I'll inmates.

House Ball 136, sponsored by state Rep. Bret Hillyer (R., Uhlrichsville), now returns to the House of Representative, where a prior version passed last year by a 76-17 vote. In addition to applying to future cases, it would open a 1-year window for some already sitting on death row to ask judges to commute their death sentences to life in prison without parole.

Petra, when I was sentenced to death on July 6, 2012, I had given to my lawyer every document I have with me in here concerning my criminal case. I no longer have the name or the address of my judge. And I no longer communicate with my lawyers. So I'd like to ask you to send me the name and the address of my judge by copying them down for me from the confession letter I sent to you in 2012. Because I want to write a letter to my judge and ask him to commute my sentence to life in prison without parole. And I want to thank you for all the help you have and had done for me in helping to safe my life. I am very grateful to you.

Very best wishes to you and your family. Be careful out there.

Abdul.

November 24, 2011 Dear WWW audience; In a couple of months from now, I will post on my website some documents pertaining to mental, verbal, and physical abuses that have been inflicted on me by Warden Terry Tibbals, his duties, and everyone works in his administration. Also the documents will show that the Central Office, of Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, and one of the TV, media, have been involing in covering-up the abuses against me in order to prevent the matter from becoming public knowledge!! Until then my friends, please stay tuned. Sincerely, Awkal II ... stored, not published now.
December 25, 2011 Dear friends, family and supporters; For the last 10 years now, I have been searching for assistance from the outside world, to expose the injustice I have been suffering at the hand of the state of Ohio. However, I believe this search has been restricted by a number of individuals, including, but not limited to my lawyers, prison Administrators, Central Office, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor (Mr. Bill Mason), and the local television media. Because my time is numbered, due to an impending execution date of June 6, 2012, I grew I wish to express my most deepest apologies to anyone that I may have offended by this... Because of my extreme sense of urgency involved in my impending execution date, I felt I also felt it was important to communicate with the victim’s family (Ali Abdul-Aziz and On January 5, 2011, I sent a kite to Mrs. Thorne asking what steps I need to take to initiate the dialogue? And her reply was as follows: NO! It is a victim initiation only - You can write an apology letter and send it to me-Mrs. Thorne. Because I had no one to assist me, my lawyers do not communicate with me, and nor my family Now that I have been blessed with someone willing and able to assist me in posting my confession letter and allowing the world to know what really happened, I am very grateful. In order for me to be fair and impartial, I will post on my website those profane In about a month I plan on posting several items for the world to review and consider. I ask for your patience and understanding. And I truly do appreciate your time and Respectfully submitted, Awkal II.
