Jack FrederickHi, My name is Jack Leon Frederick. I am currently in prison in the State of Ohio. I’m doing time for a rape that I did not commit. I had consensual sex with a woman I had met, moved in with, had an argument with and moved out. This vengeful woman set a trap for me by driving 30 miles away from her home town to my home town to deliver messages all over town for me to please get in touch with her. I still had very deep feelings for her but we had problems that we could not resolve. She was pregnant and taking drugs and I did not agree and could not accept her life style and so I decided to leave. She felt I was dumping her and that I owed her money from a check that I had received. I fell for her trap and did, indeed, go see her at her request and we did have sex but the relationship was still over. Little did I know how vengeful she could be. After I left she filed rape charges against me and brought friends and family in court to testify against me and back up her story. I had a court appointed attorney who literally did nothing to help me and even though I had several witnesses who placed me 30 miles away at the time of the alleged rape I was still convicted of a crime that I did not commit. I am now doing 8 to 25 years.

By the time I filed my post/conviction petition my family had been able to do some investigating that I tried to persuade my attorney at the time of the trial to do. I have sworn statements from several people involved in this case that were not called upon during my trial which could have helped prove my innocence. These statements prove that this girl’s story as she testified in court could not have happened. I have documented proof that I’m not guilty and that the various reviewing courts have tap danced around the facts and the law in order to continue my wrongful incarceration. I have documented proof that the judge who sentenced me as well as the prosecuting attorney were not only judging me by previous charges that I had been acquitted of but also of very serious charges that are on my record from another state that are totally false and I’m now in the process of trying to get that cleared up. These charges show on my record that I was convicted of attempted murder when in fact the real charges were discharging a firearm within city limits. I only done three days in jail 20 years ago for those charges because when the truth came out it was found that I was protecting myself and my family from an intruder into my home.

I’ve been down since 11/30/94. Soon every document in my case file will go online. When this happens I will be giving the web address here on this location. It’s been a lonely, tough, often impossible road I’ve traveled during my journey through our "criminal justice system". For those of you familiar with this site, you’ll know this is an update of an earlier message I had listed here. My situation has changed sufficiently to warrant this update on my circumstances. My sister, Loretta, has found a scanning program (to scan my case file onto a CD) and we are no longer seeking assistance in hand typing my entire 1300 page case file. Soon the entire planet will be able to see what the courts thought buried thanks to the marvel called the World Wide Web. This mockery of justice and perversion of the truth shall not go without witness.

I am looking for correspondence with people at this point in my life because I’ve sat in this State imposed cage now for five long years with almost no contact with the outside world. I would especially like to hear from some of you ladies out there interested in someone honest, fairly intelligent, loyal, and very fun loving. I see the parole board soon and, though my chances there aren’t too good, you never know what tomorrow may bring. Should I be denied parole, it will be because the State is retaliating due to my exposure of what’s been done to me. If my coming web

site does what I would like for it to do, one day I’ll not be forced to depend upon a corrupt parole board such as the one in Ohio. I’ll walk out of those gates a free man because the system will be pushed into doing the right thing and setting me free and clearing my name by the citizens who read the truth that my web site will contain. Our system is corrupt and rotten to the core folks and the only people who can do anything about is WE THE PEOPLE.

For all interested parties, (male or female) I’m looking for friends who are interested in seeing justice prevail and an innocent person set free. I would love to correspond with people who are open and honest. I’m an avid reader of many types of literature. I love science fiction and when I get the chance I listen to Art Bell on the radio. I’m not particularly asking for money but for anyone who would be interested in helping defray the cost of this long war that I am waging, you may feel free to contact my sister at retta@fuse.net. I would love hearing from anyone out there who has any legal knowledge and may be willing to help in any way. I’ve been fighting for my life for the past five years and am doing so pro-se because I cannot afford an attorney.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message and I hope to hear from you soon.
