Exopolitics Pioneer Zecharia Sitchin charged by Federal grand jury on "2012" issues

POST BY Zecharia Sitchin's attorney:

Hello. My name is Sam Wilson. I am a new attorney at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer Feld LLP (hired two months ago). I am working as staff to a co-counsel in the case. We were hired by Zecharia Sitchin to prepare his defense. A federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York has charged him with five counts of which I will explain:

1. Contempt of Court: He (Sitchin) is charged with violating a court order to hand over documents to the government he is alleged to have used in one of his books

2. False Statements: He is accused of making false statements before a grand jury investigating Rob Solorion and others for fraud

3. Possesion of False Papers: He is charged with making false documents meant to defraud the United States Government

4. Conveying False Information: The charge is saying that Sitchin conveyed false information in his books, amounting to a hoax in violation of the US Code.

5. Advocating Overthrow of US Government: His final charge is telling (advocating) the violent overthrow of the government in a speech in 2005 and more recently in January of this year

I am following this case because I heard during our confrence, that many believe the US government is trying to stop the knowledge of 2012 conspiracies. While I do not personally support that ideal, I still believe this trial should be known (As a working assistant to his lawyers, I am immune to a part of the gag order and can reveal limited information).

Therefore, I have had a blog created to track the trial, as I will be there everyday:

On Monday, the proceedings opened, and he plead not guilty to all charges. He was able to post bail at $100,000. On September 5th, a hearing on pre-trial motions will occur. And on September 14th, a Preliminary Hearing otherwise known as a probable cause hearing will start. The hearing's purpose is to decide if there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial.

I will post more information as it comes, if you have any questions, please reply on the blog shown above.

This Week on the Blog

On Monday, defense attorneys for Zecharia Sitchin will file Freedom of Information Act requests to several governmental agencies for documents relating to a criminal trial. They intend to file a Rule 16 motion in federal court in the case they refuse to hand over the requested papers. A Rule 16 motion, if granted, forces the government to give documents needed in a criminal trial.

Either Tuesday or Wednesday, the opening proceedings of the criminal case will be fully scanned and open to the public. They will be posted in full.

By the end of the week, attorneys plan to ask the District Court to allow reporters in the courtroom during the trial. The current gag order restricts publication of the proceedings to a very minimal degree.

Defense to file Freedom of Information Act request

Attorneys for Zecharia Sitchin plan to file a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) with the Department of Justice, the National Security Agency/NSA, and the Department of Homeland Security, in relation to the Zecharia Sitchin trial. They are trying to get hold of documents that the US Attorney's Office will not hand over. The drafts note that the requested documents are essential to securing a good defense of Sitchin. The requested documents include grand jury evidence, witness statements, and the FBI's complete file on Sitchin. If the filings fail, they intend to file a Rule 16 motion with the federal court dealing with the case.
