Hi NRA friends! What began as a fairly straight forward right to self-defense and Second Amendment case has blossomed into an overgrown legal nightmare for my family and I, consuming over 3.5 years, $340,000 - NOT to mention a 120 day jail sentence the California Court of Appeal in March just acknowledged was totally unnecessary. Hi, my name is Jeff Burleson. Im a married father of three under siege by a transparently vindictive San Diego District Attorney (Bonnie Dumanis) who appears to have a vendetta against me for daring to support her challenger in the last election AS WELL AS reporting one of her former cronies to the California State Bar (Richard Huffman II). It was Huffman who abandoned me in custody INSTEAD of filing my appeal in my original case. Does this type of retribution REALLY HAPPEN in the real world? It certainly looks that way. My misdemeanor conviction (facing 14.5 years in prison, I was found NOT GUILTY OF ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON by jury verdict) was later OVERTURNED on due process grounds; the Court of Appeal ruled Id provided ample independent corroborating evidence of my need to protect my wife and children while armed. The Court of Appeal thought my right to self-defense was OBVIOUS. The deputy District Attorney TRYING the case KNEW the complaining witness committed perjury by DENYING he was a former bail enforcement agent/bounty hunter, yet he did NOTHING. My attorney and I provided PROOF of his perjury (in the form of a Bank of America bank statement indicating he owned US BAIL ENFORCEMENT), yet the deputy District Attorney put him on the stand WHILE KNOWING HE WAS GOING TO LIE. Thats highly unethical, illegal AND it led to my misdemeanor conviction. Exposing these terrible mistakes by her CURRENT AND FORMER SAN DIEGO DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS is something Bonnie Dumanis is determined to stop AT ALL COSTS. FORTUNATELY I was vindicated by the Fourth District Court of Appeal on March 18, 2014. That means that my 82 day adventure in custody was ALL UNNECESSARY. (How many upper middle class professionals do you know that serve 82 days in custody unnecessarily?) By that time, the damage had already been done. Here are more details: https://facebook/permalink.php?story_fbid=10203138586597775&id=1000356089&substory_index=0 Incredibly, I learned on primary Election Day (June 3) that I was going to be retried. I could hardly believe it. Very few others involved can believe it either. I REALLY need help. San Diego District Attorney (ANTI-SECOND AMENDMENT) Bonnie Dumanis is truly trying to get even with me, my NEXT trial starts October 2, 2014. Her goal is to teach me a lesson and use me as an example of what happens when you dare stand up for your freedoms and assert your Second Amendment right., The process itself is the punishment; thats their new way of undermining the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Sure Mr. Burleson won, BUT it cost him nearly four years, $400,000 and 82 days in custody! Thats not fair. Thats not balanced. Most importantly, its not right. Thank you all for your consideration.
