There is deep concern regarding the ongoing miscarriage of justice in People V Anand Jon Alexander an Indian citizen locked up for over a decade following a grossly tainted trial and unreliable verdict. The newly discovered evidence indicating factual innocence are compelling and we request you join this signature campaign to free Anand Jon.

A candid review of the record, subsequent proceedings shows that Mr. Alexander did not receive anything remotely close to a fair trial by an impartial jury of twelve. Instead, there were a litany of due process violations including: http://anandjon.com/

1) Juror Misconduct was declared post trial and prejudice presumed- due to a sitting juror breaking the law; discussing the case outside deliberations then committing perjury to cover it up- ultimately sentenced the maximum contempt of court. Yet, no new trial was granted. Newly discovered evidence now shows the same juror had sought out additional extrinsic information about Mr. Alexander’s race, culture, family, and religion from media and other individuals while expressing personal motives to convict.[1]

2) Ineffective Assistance of Counsel was inadvertently highlighted by the prosecutors and trial court itself. The failure to investigate otherwise available (with reasonable due diligence) evidence to support trial attorneys own arguments & theory (of collusion& motives leading to false allegations) was devastating-as demonstrated by post trial evidence; self-authenticating online contents; declarations from witnesses, trial investigators and at least one trial Council. Coincidently, trial attorneys were plagued with actual conflicts of interest that irrevocably compromised the defense far below acceptable standards.[2]

3) The endemic police and prosecutorial misconduct in this case is precisely the type of abuse of power that led to your support for legislature passing California Assembly Bill 1909 this year.

Besides and beyond the withholding of substantial favorable evidence (violating Brady v Maryland and Cal Pen C §1054), police and prosecutors used false statements and false evidence, threatened and intimidated witnesses, denigrated Council, violated court rulings- invoking racial- religious and communal prejudice. The Beverly Hills Police Department are yet to comply toturn over outstanding discovery and to explain why much of this crucial favorable items are now "missing".

The brazen abuse of power in instant case goes well beyond withholding and destruction of favorable evidence (Brady, Trombetta-Youngblood) and more than fits the bill to hold police & prosecutors accountable for criminal conduct under California Assembly Bill 1909. Besides the prosecutor's juror interception, thwarting fact finding, several Witnesses have since come forward with declarations under penalty perjury as to having being intimidated, threatened and coerced by the same prosecution team to exaggerate and even concoct claims.

This case was the opposite of overwhelming evidence of guilt.

The prosecution independently dismissed three dozen charges; the jury deliberated for almost 13 days- hopelessly deadlocked and then returned a mixed (not guilty, hung and guilty) verdicts only after several anomalies and improper pressure & "great stress" upon jury.

The convictions themselves are dubious at best as much of the "elements"of charged crimes (including any forcible compulsion, duress. threats, intent) are unreliable or entirely non-existent. There were no injuries whatsoever. After admitting the lack of actual physical evidence-forensics or corroborating percipient witnesses[3] to any actual criminal conduct, the prosecution repeatedly urged the jury to rely on a supposed "Very Rich history of sexual violence in other states" as crucial corroboration. Several such California Evidence Code 1108 witnesses were allowed to testify to then unadjudicated (far more inflammatory then the actual California charges) claims while their out of state discovery and testimony was not turned over ', in violation of the Sixth Amendment Right of Confrontation. Therefore, it is a tremendously significant change of circumstance that Mr. Alexander has since gone onto resolve these out of state charges favorably. To further prove his Innocence Mr. Alexander passed a polygraph lie detector test. Unlike the prosecution's vouching for their Witnesses "credibility" : that they had no impeachment; had no connection to each other; had no no motives of money and publicity, new evidence; declarations corroborated by self with integrating online contents and acts of moral turpitude, criminal records, prior false allegations (previously withheld by prosecution) have shown otherwise.

Even as the epidemic abuse in fast paced lifestyles & Industries including but not limited to: fashion; Media; Entertainment/ Hollywood; Sports; Politics comes to light, one cannot discount the role reversal reality of the opposite occurring either. As seen from previously withheld and newly discovered evidence, targeted individuals like Mr Anand Jon Alexander (an Award winning rising star in the fashion world who was highlighted in Newsweek magazines "Who's next in 2007?", appeared as a celebrity designer on major TV shows like "America's Next Top Model" and had just launched his Wall Street funded "Jeanisis" jeans www.anandjon.org with no history of violence or drug), the unfortunate reality today is that false allegations are a reality that cancan happen to you or your loved ones in the blink of an eye "charged"by the point of a finger and"convicted" by luesy. Sensationalized cases are all the more prejudiced when high profile individuals are accused as these sex scandals tend to get rewarded and those ( men of women) in prominent positions can turn out to be the real victims.

Such a travesty of justice could happen to any one of us or our family & friends- especially to ethnic-racial, religious minorities, in post 911 United States of America. California taxpayers should certainly not be compelled to pay millions of dollars incarcerating a foreign citizen under such unreliable circumstances; now proven to be false "evidence" and dubious "convictions"stemming from a sham "trial".

Therefore, we the people join forces via this campaign not just free Anand Jon but demand & ensure due pricess-Justice, liberty and equal protection for ALL starting NOW!
