2024
January 10 .2024 I went to the Warren Police Department and requested that body cam and dash cam footage, and I sent an email. Add those stories about the competency evaluation and the paperwork still to post.
I also started ordering court audio and placing it on YouTube. I need to add links here as well.
1-10-2024 Attorney Bergo and Ada Lindsay White Try to get me to question my memories and order me to have that competency evaluation where I called them liars. Brought up again that I knew that the Warren Police vehicles had in-vehicle and dashcam recordings because of the 2016 ride warrant police officers gave me to the emergency room. that seemed To upset attorney Bergo very much. so I wrote an email to the Warren Police Department while in court and I drove there after and made a written request for all video and audio from the day of my arrest and from the 2016 ride to the emergency room. I never received a response. I fired attorney Alex Bergo and was given attorney Mcginty and he didn't help me either

HX/REASON FOR REFERRAL (e.g., Referral Source; Specific Reason for
Referral): Attorney Bergo indicated he requested this evaluation, as Mr.
Stebbins fired his two previous attorneys and presents with non-linear,

grievances
he has with regard to his case and espouses "conspiracy thinking" about his case.

During the competency portion of the evaluation, Mr. Stebbins
occasionally digressed off-topic. For instance, he discussed a perceived
past wrongdoing against him by police (in an incident unrelated to the
instant offense) in which he felt police officers helped a woman commit a
crime against him. He relayed that a woman hit him while he was
crossing the street, and she had no car insurance and her registration
was suspended. He said the woman's sister worked in a courthouse, and
the police did her "a favor" by not charging her with a crime. Mr.
Stebbins also expressed the belief that a prior criminal matter he had
out of a different court was mishandled (e.g., that he was "coerced"
into taking this case to trial, and the district attorney on the case
"tampered" with evidence). Mr. Stebbins was able to be
interrupted and redirected when he digressed off-topic.

XDATA RELEVANT TO COMPETENCE TO STAND TRIAL:
BDATA
RELEVANT TO CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY: Mr. Stebbins reported he is
charged with "Assault and Battery." He said he is accused of
"elbowling]" his "ex- girlfriend in the face." He was aware of his plea
options and the possible outcomes of a guilty finding for the index
charge. He had an understanding of the purpose of probation, some
conditions related to probation,
and
a potential consequence for violation of probation. Mr. Stebbins was
able to spontaneously and accurately identify major courtroom officials
and their roles. He demonstrated understanding of the differing
allegiances in the courtroom as well as the adversarial nature of the
criminal justice system. He expressed a basic understanding of the
purpose of a trial and knew the role of a jury. He was aware of what can
constitute evidence. He identified evidence/witnesses he could use in
his defense. While he expressed the belief that there are no
evidence/witnesses against him, he acknowledged that the alleged victim
could possibly take the witness stand, and she is not on his side. He
knew the role of a witness. He stated he knew that if a witness
testified on the stand then there would be a direct examination and a
cross examination. He appeared to possess a basic awareness that if a
witness were to lie on the stand then they could be charged with a
criminal offense. He discussed information he believed the alleged
victim would testify to if she were to take the witness stand. (He did
not specifically state that the alleged victim would testify against him
with regard to the alleged incident, but he evidenced an awareness that
she is not on his side, which suggests that he likely knows that she
would not testify in his defense.) Mr. Stebbins accurately defined a
plea bargain. He was able to identify some of the pros/cons of taking a
case to trial versus taking a plea bargain (and vice versa) and why a
defendant may wish to proceed with their case by way of
either
a trial or a plea bargain. Mr. Stebbins reported he does not feel he
has been able to trust any of the attorneys who have represented him in
his case. He identified one reason for this has been due to the length
of the time this case has gone on for in court. He identified another
reason for this has been due to what he perceives as a lack of follow
through on the behalf of his attorneys and meeting his expectation with
regard to gathering relevant evidence/witnesses in his case. During the
interview, Mr. Stebbins expressed frustration that he has yet to receive
all of the evidence he requested in his case (despite his attempts at
obtaining some of this information from multiple different sources). He
also expressed frustration about receiving different reports about the
existence of a potential piece of evidence he would like to use in his
case and that the district attorney may be withholding this piece of
evidence. (Mr. Stebbins said he is unsure if this piece of evidence even
exists in that he was told it does not exist but was also apparently
told that the first attorney to represent him was able to get ahold of
it and that the district attorney also potentially had it.) He relayed
that he did not fire his previous attorneys. He did not appear to have a
clear sense about why his previous attorneys withdrew from his case
when asked about this. Mr. Stebbins expressed an openness to work with
his current attorney as long as he thoroughly explains himself and his
reasoning for why he is (or isn't) doing something and keeps him
informed/shares with him any relevant case-related information he is
able to gather in this case. He noted that he can "argue a point" until
he is "blue in the face," and he also commented that "I just don't agree
with
anything" that someone says and that he was aware that this can "come off as argumentative."
January 11Took a picture of Harley with the Snowman and Snowdog I made with the little snow we got. After listening to all of the stupidity in court the day before. I need something fun and simple to take my mind off of things. Please Harley always looks cute.

July 26th 2024 I went with Dominic to see Deadpool and Wolverine it was awesome it made me so emotional, I wish I had a partner like that lol Partner that never gave up and kept fighting for what was right no matter what even though they screwed up. We stopped at the comic store on the way back after that and I bought some comics I always loved doing that
August 5th I was supposed to have trial but I showed up an ada white acted like a buffoon and had someone else tell me that she couldn't find my phone number that was inside the court docket and on my police report. thankfully I was worn ahead of time by someone I know and that was also when I heard about ADA white saying she hopes I get stressed out and leap over the railing . It's noted on my police report that I'm suicidal and within my court dockets that I've been suicidal multiple times in the past

This is a news article that I got to be a part of about my friend Tammy Lynns, who was found dead on the side of Fox Road 30 years ago. I was absolutely shocked that no one other than her sister and mother had a couple words to say. I am not this would’ve been an all hands on deck type situation, But once again, I was the loudest voice in the room. I kind of feel like my picture should’ve been in the paper instead of our sisters lol
https://share.newsbreak.com/djx1t4vj?s=i16
September 9, 2024 court audio on YouTube here is the description- I’ve got so many great questions.
Why did the ada wait so long to bring up my emotional support dog? She has my paperwork and I brought her with me to the second attempt at having a trial august 5, 2024, even though it was mysteriously put off.
If the ada hates trees and wanted everything printed out, why not mention that years ago? Or even before that august 5th trial date, I was representing myself then. Would they like me to print a copy of everything for each juror as well? In this day and age, a cd is more than appropriate.
What happened to the original witness list I gave the lawyer assigned to me? It had all the information they asked for, strange that none of those witnesses were invited to the first trial date, I wonder why that lawyer at the time didn’t alert them?
Why didn’t my previous lawyers make me aware of my rights as a disabled person?
Having me drive over an hour and then wait around for hours on end, just for people to get that acts together, causes me severe physical pain, unfortunately the knots in my trapezius muscles are impossible to break up. I have been so many worthless court appearances it’s ridiculous.
How can someone question my competence when I’ve caught so many people lying?
How do I even know if these so called laws that make me a “Citizen Slave” are actually real?
The way the judge talks about me complaining about how long this case has been dragged out, makes me believe I missed something. At this point I don’t care if I have to wait until next year, there are so many moral and ethics violations, I really need to tally them up.
What else could they be trying to hide?
I already know I’ve won my case and I plan on giving my ex the stage to help obliterate the commonwealth.
Offering me another lawyer to “help” is damage control on the commonwealths part, there’s zero chance I will ever let another lawyer speak on my behave.
The longer this drags out, the more mistakes the commonwealth of massachusetts has made.
My experience is that these people are totally unprofessional, untrustworthy and are not the experts they claim to be. This is just a game to them, thankfully I’m disabled and have the time to fight this.
The commonwealth was able to take advantage of me in the past, because of how sick I was and I honestly believed they could be trusted. I will never make that mistake again.
https://youtu.be/bnehm9FqYYQ?si=DjOxcfT7EpUM3Vi3
September 16, 2024 made a YouTube video because I was waiting and here’s the description- Another waiting game, I’m curious how this judge is going to react if no lawyer contacts me before our next court date.

October 10 I got to see the aurora again, this time I was ready and got better pictures. It's hard to describe how excited I was, I felt like a little kid again, It was beautiful and I got to share the experience with neighbors. one girl saw me hanging out at the edge of the road and thought something was wrong with me, until she looked up. She was just getting home and parked in the street when she saw me waving my arm up in the air. She thought I was flagging her down, but I was pointing up.
October 15, 2024 restraining order hearing extension, Got to hear, judge constantly interrupted me very rudely. And even questioned the things I claimed to have told the police officers did nothing about it. She showed zero concern for my safety and well-being.

I started working with her Grady and E mailing everything I had recorded ordered the recordings and placed them all online at this point he did a fantastic job trying to stall me but in the end he failed and I was able to prove that the Commonwealth was lying and they're doing everything they can now to sweep it under the rug now, I filed complaints against attorney banks O'Doherty and Bergo, So there is a record.

October 16 went to Mary Lynch field with Dom and took pictures of the Comet Atlas. what a great way to end the year, so many special events.
October 25 I tried filing a complaint against Beth in east Brookfield district court. As always, I wrote a speech because I was pissed at the last few judges. I’ve had to listen to and the stupid things that they say. I made sure to word things to let them know that Beth was suffering from some sort of mental health issue, and that I Told police officers and the lawyer I was appointed what was going on and my concerns were totally ignored. I posted the complaint letter received stating no probable cause.
