DISTRICT ATTORNEY WATKINS, “NOT ON YOUR WATCH”
“INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE”

STATE OF TEXAS V. LAKEITH AMIR-SHARIF
(CASE NO. F-05-59639)


Open Letter to D.A. Craig Watkins, members of Dallas County ‘Justice’ and all the Texas State Legislators. My sincerest question is, does no one do an honest and ethical job anymore? I want you all to know that I have just sent the following email to approximately 82,000 people with many more who will see it onsite at www.angelfire.com/crazy4/texas.html.

For over two and a half years, while waiting on justice, Sharif, myself and other concerned individuals have quietly built his case and others on angelfire. No more silence on myself and MTWT’s part. After what you, the D.A.‘s office and other authorities in Dallas County, have done and are still doing with this case we can do no less than make as much noise about all of you and the system you work in as possible. Especially the prosecutors, former court-appointed attorneys John Read and Douglas Schopmeyer and the judge Manny Alvarez who’ve denied Sharif any chance for ever receiving a fair trial in this particular case. What a shameful thing you are doing under the false guise of seeking justice.

Points To Ponder On:

1. $150,000.00 (and counting with a October 29th trial scheduled) in taxpayers money wasted on the knowingly perjured testimony of Cathy Jonette Hawkins, and the overzealous and questionable activities of the former (and now the present) D.A.’s office.

2. The Dallas D.A.’s office is a defendant in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Sharif in the Northern District Court (Case No.3:06-cv-2277). This lawsuit is currently on appeal before the US Court of Appeals-Fifth Circuit, New Orleans, LA (Case No. 07-10382), yet this office is being allowed to proceed to trial and prosecute Sharif despite this “undeniable conflict of interest”.

3. One of Mr. Craig Watkins’ campaign promise was to restore the people’s trust and confidence in the D.A.’s office, but the case of Sharif is evidence that the D.A.’s office hasn’t changed that much since the days of Bill Hill’s beleaguered administration.

4. The former D.A.’s administration colluded with the Sheriff Valdez and her staff to cover-up an aggravated assault committed by jail staff against Sharif, yet at the same time the former and current D.A.‘s administration has bent over backwards to twist and mischaracterize the facts of a questionable “car accident” involving Ms. Hawkins in order to try and justify prosecuting Sharif for aggravated assault w/deadly weapon: to wit, a car. This is a perfect example of abuse of power and malicious prosecution. The case of Sharif further illustrates why regardless of the district attorney Watkins skin color, the Dallas, Texas justice system still remains a national disgrace colored in black and white.

P.S. There is much more to be told about this story of injustice, corruption, and racism, but you readers get the point. The time has come for Dallas D.A. Craig Watkins to step up to the plate and end this charade or forever have this and other stains on justice blemish his record and the integrity of his administration.

On April 21, 2008 Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins and his administration will attempt to railroad Lakeith Amir-Sharif ("Sharif") to prison for the next 10, 20 or 30 years, for crimes Mr. Watkins, his staff and others know beyond any reasonable doubt that Sharif is innocent of. The belief by many following this travesty of justice is that Mr. Watkins and staff feel pressured to obtain a conviction after having all but destroyed this young man's life based sloppy police investigations, unethical judges and the knowingly perjured testimony of an irrate ex-girlfriend by the name of Cathy Jonette Hawkins.

This and other stories can be found on the website of Making The Walls Transparent and vidoes posted on youtube with the help of Kay Lee, co-founder of MTWT and Writer, Musician, Artist, Activist Mark Angelo Cummings. The time is now for Mr. Watkins to stop this miscarriage of justice and drop the charges against Sharif or forever have this stain of justice tarnish his legacy as Texas' first African-American.
