Brian D. Hill (formerly of USWGO Alternative News) had filed a timely petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc in the Court of Appeals of Virginia (CAV). He had also filed a Motion for Delayed Appeals as well. He is arguing that dismissal of his three appeals (out of seven total appeals, criminal case appeals of right) over his contempt of court case would create “a new precedent where essentially a CIRCUIT COURT aka the TRIAL COURT can engage in a DICTATORSHIP. That means any judge of any courthouse in the Commonwealth of Virginia can act as a dictator in a uniform which would automatically violate Article 1, Sect. 12 of the Virginia Constitution, and would make a despotic regime in every judicial district in Virginia. In these dictatorships, a single judge can decide to retaliate against an appellant who appeals to the Court of Appeals of Virginia. Retaliation with the sole intent of a single court judge having the ability to abuse his/her contempt powers to be thwarting, obstructing, interfering with, and suspending appeals to a higher court.” THIS SHOULD SCARE YOU, WHAT YOU JUST READ (that is why we need publicity on this right away). Brian is essentially arguing (without mentioning the name “Judge Greer” in that context), that a single court judge can act as a dictator to thwart any appeals to a supervisory court which is what appealing is all about. Brian is arguing that a single judge can take away a criminal defendant’s constitutional right to appeal using the contempt powers under Virginia Law (VA Code § 18.2-456(A)(3.)).
This sets an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT in Virginia. That means a judge can sentence a misdemeanant to the death penalty outside of law and thwart a timely appeal by using the contempt powers under Virginia Law. That means a single judge (outside of law) can sentence somebody to death outside of law over any criminal charge, even sentence somebody to death over an infraction or even over a parking ticket. How could a potential scenario happen where a judge could sentence a person to death outside of law over anything, and act as a dictator? All they have to do is take away a person’s right to appeal, then the judge can act outside of law and can act outside of the legal authority vested in him or her by jurisprudence. The judge can then make up any sentence he or she desires for a criminal defendant, such as the death penalty for criticizing a judge. The abuse of the contempt powers (the vile, contemptuous or insulting language statute!!) can clearly violate the FREEDOM OF SPEECH clause of the U.S. Constitution, and the 8th Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. However, if your right to appeal can be taken away by simply a judge charging you with criminal contempt of court for: “Vile, contemptuous, or insulting language addressed to or published of a judge” then a judge can leverage the contempt charge to have your right to appeals taken away, and cause your pending appeals to be dismissed by untimely filing. See articles: (1) Brian D. Hill files complaint against Attorney Fred Dempsey Smith for lying to Virginia Attorney General and Unconstitutional interference with appeals to cause dismissals; (2) [CORRUPTION] USWGO Brian D. Hill’s New Amended Motion for Delayed Appeal reveals more evidence of Attorney Fred D. Smith manipulating both Asst. Attorney General Justin Hill and Brian; manipulated both sides to END Brian’s appeals.

See the arguments for yourself. If you wish to support Brian’s appeal with any friend of the court briefs by and through an amicus curiae/brief, then feel free to contact us. This case now affects every Virginian citizen, every American citizen living in Virginia. Your now at risk of a judicial dictatorship if this three appeals petition fails. Freedom of speech will become criminalized and appealing will become criminalized.
This is very dangerous for everybody in Virginia. Regardless of whether you think Brian Hill is guilty or innocent of his state charge on September 21, 2018, this clearly is setting a precedent for Judge Greer or any judge to be a dictator in Virginia, where a judge can knock out a problematic appeal where it could reverse a corrupt judge’s decision in Virginia.
