The latest on my appeal
On June 10th, a trio of Miami-Dade Circuit Court judges reviewed my appeal brief and determined that I need to get the entire trial transcribed in order to proceed with the appeal.
I now have until July 10th to complete this process or else the case will be dismissed.
In my appeal brief, I had turned in the portions of the transcript that pertain to my argument in order to save money because it costs five dollars for each page transcribed. Each page represents a minute of the trial and the trial lasted for two days, ending at midnight last June.
So it’s going to cost me at least $2,500 to get the rest of the trial transcribed, which means I will fall even more into debt. But at this point, there is no turning back.
The truth is, getting the entire trial transcribed will work even more in my favor because it will reveal the huge contradictions between all three officers who testified.
The judges who will review the appeal are Victoria Platzer, Robert N. Scola, Jr. and Gill S. Freeman.

You may be able to ask to proceed in Forma Pauperis. It is doubful that this will work, but it may work for you to get some of the fees waived.
deny their request on the grounds that you are “green” and dont wanna waste fucking paper!!!
as opposed to the regular kind.
So it’s going to cost me at least $2,500 to get the rest of the trial transcribed, which means I will fall even more into debt.
Yet another example of how the courtroom is a friend to the officer.
Good luck, Carlos. I have been saying for years that our “justice” system is broken, but it seems like the only people who believe it are the ones who have been shafted by it themselves or had a close friend or family member shafted. Everyone else is too busy buying into the brainwashing they’ve received since birth about the US being free and the government and courts being fair for everyone.
Awesome, I can’t wait to read the transcripts! The revolution will be digitized.
It would be great if the fee was linked to income, with baseline set to the state. It can easily afford $2,500 against its budget, and it would likely be $0 for most individuals once adjusted for income level.
