THE ED WACKERMAN STORY CONTINUED. THE THREAT OF A GRAND JURY.
THE ED WACKERMAN STORY CONTINUED. THE THREAT OF A GRAND JURY.
I have stayed in touch with Ed Wackerman, imprisoned for setting a fire he could not possibly have set as it was an unnatural fire. But I have not posted about his case for several weeks. So much else has been pressing, plus I was trying to find information.
Now back to Ed. His legal team recently scared him, telling him he was having a Grand Jury instead of an indictment, so he would not be able to face his accusers. It would be behind closed doors.
He texted me about it as soon as it happened, though he was told not to talk to me.
I was glad he chose to tell me, though I didn’t know what I could do.
It sounded terrible to me too - plus incredible. I thought you had the right, in the States, to face your accusers. At the same time, nothing made sense to me. There had not even been a preliminary hearing after a year in jail, since his arrest in June 2023 - now over a year ago. How could there be, suddenly, a Grand Jury?
I tried, for several weeks, to find someone who had access to an American lawyer, plus I emailed and phoned a couple of lawyers connected to pro bono work. I wanted answers. I was not successful.
So finally I hit upon doing what I should have done all along: I looked online. Eureka. There was no reason for Ed to be frightened by his case being brought before a Grand Jury.
As I wrote to Ed:
Hi Ed, I have just read up on Grand Juries. “The grand jury’s job is just to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that you may have committed the crime.” They do not decide if you are guilty.
INFORMATION ON GRAND JURIES
Grand juries are different from the jury (technically known as the “petit jury”) at a criminal jury trial. Whereas the petit jury decides whether you are guilty or innocent—the grand jury’s job is just to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that you may have committed the crime.
District attorneys are more likely to use the grand jury indictment process if … the case against you seems weak—and the prosecutor wants a chance to “test” it out before jurors ,,,
In theory, grand juries are supposed to make an objective determination of whether there is enough evidence to try you for a crime.
They are supposed to be not just a “sword” to help the government prosecute criminals—but also a “shield” protecting you from unjustified criminal charges.
In reality, it does not always work this way. The jury hears only one side of the story—the prosecutor’s side. Under these circumstances, there is a real danger that it will function only as a sword, not as a shield—and will vote to bring criminal charges that never should have been brought.
Here is the web site:
Very telling that, instead of reassuring Ed that having a Grand Jury was no reason to be worried, his court-appointed legal team had frightened him. That tells us a lot about “his” legal team.
Such an obvious lack of caring, of empathy, for this clearly innocent man. (If you haven’t followed his case, or have forgotten, there are links at the end to his story.)
Lack of empathy - a primary characteristic of psychopaths.
So much that needs to change.
It is now the end of June. July 15 - that is when there is supposed to be . . . I’m not sure what. I believe it is a preliminary hearing.

________________________
THE STORY, IN BRIEF. Ed Wackerman, an innocent man. He’s been in jail for almost a year, since June 2023. No bail. Not even a preliminary until July 2024. You might wonder: He must have done something. In fact, it appears his “crime” was being a “nobody” - living alone in his cabin with his little dog, no family close by, widower, hard of hearing. He’s been charged with setting a major California fire - the Oak Fire of 2022. But he could not have set it. No one could have set it. There’s massive evidence - hidden by the mainstream media - that it was an unnatural fire. But Ed could not even have set a regular fire. He’s seriously disabled - very slow-moving because of major injuries - and he’s accused of setting a fire he could never have outrun. Only an Olympic sprinter could have outrun it.
I got involved because a friend asked me to (January 2024) and when I did nothing, asked me again (the beginning of March 2024). So I got in touch with Ed, wrote a letter to his lawyer, and more - like I’ve written about half a dozen posts on him, posting the letters he’s written to me.

Here, in case you are interested, is much more information on Grand Juries:
I still don’t know how to get the evidence to the prosecutors. It is now the end of June.
As I’ve already said, July 15 - that is when there is supposed to be . . . I’m not sure what. I believe it is a preliminary hearing.

Check out our new website we are buiding to Alert about the Weather Warfare and DEW attacks. Protectandalert.org.
And this is a homemade video from our committee members of her recent investigation of the Chemical Lake Fire outside of Spokane WA 8 months after it and what they found, The evidence of these DEW attacks is still there. And still there in Mariposa where someone could show the authorities. In plain site. People are so brainwashed they are not believing their eyes or have the common sense to know that the forest burns UP in a forest fire. Look at the Halloween like trees and there is a hole in the ground in WA still burning after 8+ months!! It appears that the ground cooks- the radiation is attracted to water and metal, just like electricity - kind of the same physics. And there is both water and natural metals in soils. That is why the 'flames' are so high in the sky the air and what ever they chemtrailed first, is ' on fire' but a radiation fire- not anything organic burning.. you have to think microwave physics- plasma is involved as well very possibly. Once the radiation fires peter out, what is left are trees dead, but still intact. And the ground around them in circles after 8 months later is not growing a weed. The soil must be too radiated and damaged to grow anything. Think about the million acres in Texas important grasslands zapped, 10,000 head of cattle cooked- their lips were bubbling and had to be shot, Not burnt- radiated , there was no grass to burn really it was all chewed to the dirt, winter, had just snowed! Not exactly fire season. The soil seems to cook. as does the moisture mixed with whatever accelerants sprayed.

Elsa, Ed Wakerman is accused of 16 counts of arson, has not been allowed to be free even though he is has not been proven guilty of a crime. He is being seriously framed. And no offense, but you are very incorrect about Grand Juries in the United States where you are not. Grand Juries almost ALWAYS Indict. Unlike a preliminary hearing held in court with the defense side present, the grand jury doesn't make its decision in the context of an adversary proceeding. Rather, it's a one-sided affair.
Grand jurors see and hear only what prosecutors put before them. (While prosecutors technically have an obligation to present "exculpatory" evidence—evidence that suggests that a defendant might not be guilty—there's not much other than the prosecutor's conscience to enforce this rule.) During a preliminary hearing, the defendant can also see and cross-examine prosecution witnesses, which gives them a good preview of the prosecution's case. This situation doesn't present itself in the context of a grand jury.
Grand Juries Often Return an Indictment In part because there's no one on the "other side" to contest the prosecutor's evidence, grand juries almost always return an indictment as requested by the prosecutor. According to a U.S. Department of Justice study, "Grand juries are notorious for being ‘rubberstamps' for the prosecutor for virtually all routine criminal matters." (McDonald, William F., Plea Bargaining: Critical Issues and Common Practices (1985).) It's also suggested that grand juries rubber stamp prosecutors' charges because grand jurors are not adept at evaluating evidence like judges are—making it easier to convince a grand jury than a judge that the defendant should stand for trial.
Grand Jury Proceedings Are Secret-
Prosecutors often prefer grand juries because the proceedings are secret, whereas preliminary hearings are open to the public. The rule on secrecy is meant to provide several benefits. For the accused, it protects their reputation should no charges issue. For witnesses, it's meant to allow them to testify more freely and truthfully. And for the prosecution, it provides control of information. But critics of secrecy rules say it runs counter to the fairness and transparency of the justice system.
AT A HEARING ED WOULD BE ABLE TO FACE HIS ACCUSERS, AT A GRAND JURY HE CAN NOT. This is part of the framing of Ed Wakerman to use a Grand Jury . He deserves a hearing with witnesses and his defending attorney. His attorney is no good or he would have deposed Robert Brame. Who has now quit helping Ed Wakerman.
There is no one defending Ed at a Grand Jury- its all about evidence against him, and nothing else. And it's all in secret. ED HAS EVERY REASON TO FEAR THE FUCKING GRAND JURY! He is going away for life. The Grand Jury will only see what is shown to them- evidence against him, No one will be speaking up for him. The Grand Jury experience alone could give him a stroke. I pray his daughter or someone will be there with him.
Now the FBI is in New Mexico at the latest terrorist attack and are probably lookiing for another person to frame. It must STOP there, so please take action to let Rudisio New Mexico know it was a Terrorist attack. We are in touch with a local resident there, and trees not burnt up,melted glass, same signature of a DEW... she said people are calling it ' another Maui'.
