Carolina Crime Report

The Wake County Court District Attorney Colon Willoughby (c.colon.willoughby@ncourts.org) does not hold probable cause hearings prior to jury trials and convictions as mandated by state and federal law. No court forms even exist to enforce probable cause hearings or to allow defendants to plead not guilty in the state district courts (to DWI misdemeanors).

Court Clerk Nancy Lorrin Freeman (n.lorrin.freeman@nccourts.org) invented a fake jury trial notification. She uses the fake document to demand that misdemeanor defendants represent themselves in jury trials, without probable cause hearings. Freeman also signs illegal orders of arrest for defendants with excessive bail who missed a court date they didn’t know about because Freeman doesn’t notify defendants or their attorneys about court dates.

The ACIS court computer system doesn’t even contain a field to allow a clerk to input any data pertaining to a probable cause hearing and it records all court dates as jury trials! This causes a fundamental obstruction of justice for potentially everyone who ever was, is or will be accused of a misdemeanor.

As a result, thousands of people are trapped in the Wake Court for years, convicted without probable cause, and the three people in charge – DA Colon Willoughby, Judge Donald Stephens (donald.w.stephens@nccourts.org) and Clerk Lorrin Freeman continue to cover up the obstruction of justice.

DA Colon Willoughby and N.C. State Bar Katherine Jean (kjean@ncbar.gov) have been repeatedly informed about this crime, and that Judge Jacqueline Brewer (jacqueline.l.brewer@nccourts.org)  is holding (illegal) jury trials in district court. Brewer’s obstruction of justice for thousands of people was first revealed in her 2008 interview in Indy Week (see story below).

Other state leaders, including AG Roy Cooper, SOS Elaine Marshall and NC State Bar chief counsel Katherine Jean all wrote that it isn’t their job to curb the Wake Court crime and all filed motions to dismiss; and the entire crime was dismissed and covered up by U.S. District court Judge Malcolm Howard. Gov. Perdue refused to provide relief to victims of the NC court system. Gov. Perdue also signed Senate Bill 272, which allows the NC State Bar to continue to evade state and federal taxes.

Cooper and Perdue have approximately $1 million dollars each of unexplained loans and transfers out of their campaign accounts which occurred for over a decade.  Gov. Perdue’s husband made illegal campaign contributions to her account from his company Right Stuff Food Stores. The NC State Bar has no federal tax ID number and does not pay federal taxes or report its multi-million dollar IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Fund Account) to the NC Controller as mandated by state law. In any criminal enterprise, there is a source of illegal income to keep the enterprise going, and this may be it.

No defense attorney is responsible for the Wake Court and NC State Bar’s OUTRAGEOUS obstruction of justice. State law (NCGS 7A and 15A) clearly state that people responsible for court operations are the District Attorney, Superior Court Judge in Residence and Superior Court Clerk.  Willoughby and the NC State bar executed a felony conspiracy allowing the Wake Court fraud to continue and for failing to take responsibility for doing their jobs. It doesn’t matter if Crouch backdated convictions, because all of the convictions that occurred without a probable cause hearing are illegal.
