The Petitioner, Ernest Garlington, hereby moves this Honorable Court, pursuant to its inherent general oversight powers and authority and its powers of equity, for an order initiating an investigation into Judge Patrick Clifford, Susan Clifford and Prosecutor Russell Zentner. 

 

As grounds therefor, petitioner states:

 

The pending matter is a habeas petition after a criminal trial in 2007 resulting in a guilty finding for conspiracy to commit assault in the first degree, 2 counts of inciting injury to person, aiding in the commission of an assault and conspiracy to commit murder.  Petitioner was sentenced to 33 years in prison and 7 years of special parole.  Beyond the claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, there are serious issues as to the fundamental fairness of the trial, the partiality of the trial judge, the sufficiency of the evidence, police misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial misconduct as well as conspiracy, obstruction of justice, fraud and coercion on the part of Judge Patrick Clifford, Susan Clifford and Prosecutor Russell Zentner.
