Jan Dyer Katie Bear III and myself had another visit with Charles today. It was over all a good one, given the circumstances. He remains in good health, as well as spirits. Charles sends his gratitude to everyone for their continued efforts in his behalf. We are asking that everyone please get letters into the judge, and appreciate greatly, those of you who have already done so. At this time, our main focus is getting as many letters of support mailed in, and coordinating the event coming up on November 7th. Here is a copy of the letter that I sent in, any are more than welcome to use it as a template of sorts, all that is asked is that when writing the judge, that it is kept professional, sincere, and most of all nonaggressive. Dear Judge Enos, I’m writing you today to simply express my concern as a concerned citizen, and respectfully implore you to provide post conviction relief to a gentleman by the name of Charles Dyer in the case CF-2010-17. I took an interest in this case several years ago, and am very well versed in the facts, evidence, and have even read the transcripts from the trial(s). The inconsistencies of testimony from the prosecution, and the confusion expressed by the forensic examiner as whether to determine whether an attack had even taken place are alone, in my opinion, enough to support claims of a failure to elect a crime. All physical evidence known in existence of this case as a whole points to the innocence, not the guilt, of the defendant. Said evidence was also withheld from the jury in the third trial, by the defense attorney, in defiance of pleas given by the defendant. Does not this in itself provide grounds for relief based on both insufficient evidence to sustain a conviction, and ineffective assistance of counsel? The trail was conducted with entirely too much false testimony to sustain a reliable verdict. This was, in my opinion, A prime example of prosecutorial misconduct, in which Valerie was allowed to give exaggerated statements, and misinformation while testifying. It is also my opinion that the perjured testimony given by this woman was knowingly accepted by the prosecution, as the majority of her statements were contradictory to facts supported by physical evidence. This in itself was a blatant, and successful attempt to damage the reputation and credibility of the defendant in the eyes of the jury. I have to say that the details of this case are deeply troubling to me as a citizen of Stephens County, and have led me to question not only the integrity of the law enforcement community, but the judicial system as well. Perhaps I am a bit idealistic in my thoughts that those in positions of authority are bound by the same laws that they enforce on society as a whole, and are also called to seek true justice based on facts, not merely their personal opinions of individuals accused of crimes. Isn’t it true that every time an innocent person is incarcerated, that it becomes harder to lock away the real criminals? Isn’t it true that those in positions of authority are not only called to protect society from real predators, but to protect innocent individuals from those who would seek to manipulate laws for malicious intent? I thank you for your time, sir. And I hope that you will give my words consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Karyn Marie Hardiman * All letters can be sent to: Judge Enos Stephens County Courthouse 101 S. 11th St. Duncan, OK 73533 * Thanks to every single one of you for keeping Charles and the Dyer family in your thoughts and prayers. Your support, and dedication is greatly appreciated.
