Sheriff Roger Garrison
Sheriff, Cherokee County

June 16, 2005

Dear Sheriff Garrison,

My name is Kerry Walker, I have been sober for over thirteen years and I don’t want anyone to think that I am in any way a “radical” because I say that I feel I have been “terrorized” by this woman and this “system”. In fact I am a very gentle and a very simple man, and over the past thirteen years of my life I have not had any motives to bring harm to anyone and I have lived a life of a law-abiding citizen. I have never fabricated a story about someone, nor have I ever had someone falsely arrested. I have not cheated any one out of a penny and I have not stolen anything from anyone. In fact, I have refused to be part of any kind of dishonesty or deceit to anyone. This is why it is so amazing that I have been through so much, only because of some bad choices in women, and because of their ability to convincingly claim false allegations. Of course, their stories have never been convincing to me or to anyone that has taken the time to look at the facts and study the evidence.

I’m sure you would be concerned if you knew that there was corruption in any aspect of our sheriff’s department or in any aspect of our legal system. I can assure you that what I tell you is the absolute truth and that it can be verified by the facts of my case and by some very powerful witnesses.

I know that most people are just naturally good people and there are very few that are not. Most have an awareness of our Creator and are just decent human beings. There are those that are not right with themselves and with this energy behind creation and that will do anything to bring harm to another human being. I have been involved with two such women and I assert to you that you have one such man on your force, but I will not state his name because my case is still pending.
I believe this former detective, (that was involved in a case he brought against me), is corrupt, crooked and dishonest. He may have changed since doing what he has done to me, and I know anyone can change because I certainly did. This does not deny the fact that he should be held accountable for his actions in his violations of my rights and the obstruction of justice created by these crimes he committed against me.

We have been given life in nature; we can go beyond our self to enjoy life to its fullest extent. We have been endowed with the ability to think, reason and make our own decisions as how to conduct our lives and our destiny. This is within each one of us if we learn to understand the self and to go beyond self and our destructive egos.

"Righteousness and goodness" is within all of us, as is greed, corruption and destruction, also known as "evil". We have the choice to live by goodness or evil and no one else can make that choice for us. Each one of us makes the choice of how to travel down life's path. It is only when we die to self and live like we were dieing, that there is a goodness that is incorruptible. This does not mean that we are perfect, only that you are gone, and then there is this natural energy or spirit. This insight hit me like a lightning bolt over thirteen years ago, and I have, or, I should say through the grace of this energy behind all creation, remained sober ever since and have achieved some miraculous accomplishments since then. This insight for me has nothing to do with organized orthodox religions. In fact “religion” may be a hindrance to this insight. This comes back to going beyond our ego, and our “self”, and being a skydiving instructor with the United States Parachute Association I see how important this principle is. Truth is from moment to moment and it is not something that can be “achieved”.

I keep up with the news and current events, and I have been keeping up with the injustice in our system by way of books and on the web. It is a tragedy what this “system” has become, especially for the families and those close to those of us that are wrongly accused; yet nothing is being done about it. I can only hope that your work will bring about some justice in this process that has gone so wrong.

I would first like to commend you on your work by way of justice in our great county and I know you do the best that you can to have justice here, but in my case it has fallen short. The way the justice system operates is difficult to fathom, and all of us are responsible for letting it go on. I live here in Cherokee County on land that was one of my father and family’s favorite places to visit. It is difficult to fathom the dreams and accomplishments I have fulfilled since turning my life around after going through one of Zell Miller’s military style boot camps and a State funded treatment center, and I have remained sober ever since. The obstruction of justice and other misconduct by an Officer of the State that have ruined my life, and that I have witnesses and solid proof of, is also difficult to fathom.

I have been involved in a case that I hope will be of interest to you. I was arrested on September 25, 2001 from an incident on September 16, 2001. My arrest was based on false allegations from a woman with all kinds of mental disorders that I was involved with, off and on, for two weeks. There was a witness (Drew Mayo) at the scene (at my home) the entire time of this alleged incident, yet this investigator (or anyone else) never interviewed him. I let these detectives into my home and showed them this crossbow that this woman claims that I had cocked and loaded and pointed at her no for absolutely no reason! I allowed the detective to take a picture of this crossbow. (When I asked him to take a picture of my severely bruised eye, he said, oops, the camera must be out of film.) This (former) detective was out to get me for some reason and I don’t understand why. I called Jackie Wager, the alleged “victim”, the day I got out of jail, and she recorded the conversation. I also had a recorder set up to record our conversation. This woman brutally beat me up the night before, and she told all of my friends in the AA program and the authorities that I had “hit myself all night long, and all night long I kept on hitting myself.” I asked her about this in our phone conversation, and she tried to cover her tracks, but failed miserably. When I saw a transcript of this conversation, I was immediately shocked by the fact that it had been doctored to end just before my question was asked, and it added a “Bye” before any statement was made by the alleged victim. I did not say “Bye” at this point in this conversation and this transcript prepared by the State was altered to end just before I asked this question and just before her answer proved her to be violent and a liar. We have never been able to get a copy of this tape in over 3 ½ years and after several Motions of Discovery have been filed.

I filed a report the same day of this incident and my report was never investigated and it lacked critical information that I had told the deputy. I called him several times about this and he never returned my call. I had tried to file a “Supplemental Report” before this and I was threatened with arrest. This woman did not file a report until four days later, and her report (that was full false information that has been contradicted by the alleged victim herself) was investigated the next day.

I asked my first attorney several times early on to file a Motion for a Speedy trial, but he never did. He told me that it makes the State mad and they will put you on every trial calendar. I told him (and I have this in a letter stamped“RECEIVED” by his office) I did not care if it made them mad, I wanted this filed. He never filed this motion as I asked him to do.

I was working on and praying for a pardon from a guilty plea on the sale of a small amount of drugs back in 1986, and I could not afford any arrest. This woman knew this as I had made the mistake of telling her too much. This was the reason, among others, that I did not involve the police until she threatened me in my own home later that same day. I then picked up the phone and called 911, and it was her that grabbed the phone from me and asked me not to call, and not as she claims. She may have picked it up sometime after this and called, but I don’t know (In a recorded interview she admits that she did not know who’s call went through to 911). I do know that we have never been able to get any 911 recordings of any call that was made from my home that day. I had demanded that this woman get out of my vehicle at lease twice and she refused. I demanded that she have someone come and pick her up from my house, and she violently refused. I was threatened and badgered all the way while taking her to her residence and she swore that she was going to get me and that all of my money was not going to get me out of it.

I was arrested for Simple Assault, Simple Battery, and Obstruction of 911. These were my original charges and then the“Grand Jury” upgraded my charge of Simple Assault to Aggravated Assault. None of these charges are correct and my first attorney (who is now a witness) from the very beginning made it clear in a letter to the prosecution that the indictment was not correct. The truth is, and what is left of the evidence will show, that I was a victim of this psycho biker woman and not the perpetrator.

As I said, this woman alleges that I pointed a cocked and loaded crossbow at her for absolutely no reason at all! This crossbow rested in the corner of my bedroom at an angle against the wall. I am an archery champion and have been saluted by the City of Atlanta as an Outstanding Champion in Archery. I bought this crossbow for my stepson, and I have pictures showing us enjoying target shooing with it. I had gone through a divorce and this crossbow had not been used in over 2 ½ years. I noticed after my arrest that a large amount of dust had accumulated on the crossbow and especially on the shaft of this crossbow (you wax the shaft of a crossbow as to cause less wear on the string and obviously more dust will stick to this waxed surface). This was absolute proof that it had not been cocked, and if it was not cocked then it could not have been loaded. Cocking this crossbow would have absolutely cleaned this thick layer of dust off the shaft, as the positive tension of this string pressing against it was pulled back. It is impossible to have cocked it and not cleaned off this thick layer of dust on the shaft. My attorney came out to my home with an “expert” witness to look at this crossbow, and this“expert” witness will testify that this crossbow had not been cocked at the time of this alleged incident by a mathematical certainty; therefore this woman story was fabricated!

A few months later, in December of 2001, the police came out to my home with a Search Warrant to collect this crossbow. I attempted to show the investigator this dust, and the crossbow was violently yanked from my hands. The detective never considered this evidence and he was unaware that an “expert” witness (Wade Pitman) had seen it, along with my attorney (now witness), Jeffery Rusbridge.

After several Plea Offers, with each one being their “final offer” and after going to several hearings, I went to trial on November 19, 2002. Before a jury was seated, the prosecution walked in with this crossbow, and I looked over at it just to see that someone from the State had completely cleaned off the large accumulation of dust on the shaft of this crossbow. My attorney made a motion to have these charges dismissed against me. The judge made light of all this and did nothing!

I heard nothing about this again, and I was re-indicted in December of 2002 with yet another charge of Simple Assault added to my charges and I went to yet another arraignment in January of 2003. My case was placed on a DEAD DOCKET until May 28, 2003, at which time it was removed from a DEAD DOCKET. My first attorney, Jeff Rusbridge became a witness during the trial (There went $9,500.00) and later I hired another attorney and paid him a $15,000.00 retainer. This attorney (George Weaver) did not do so much as to return some nine phone calls after two meetings with me, and I fired him a few months later. It took an act of congress to get half my money back from this guy.

Over the past three years this nutcase, Jackie Wagner, has come into a restaurant where I was already seated and eating with a lady friend, and demanded that we leave, involving the police for no reason other than control and intimidation. She has called the police on me at a location in Smyrna that I was at some 45 minutes earlier for no other reason than an attempt to intimidate me and harass me and to try to have me falsely arrested. She has stalked me at another location in Acworth and has called the police on me several times there, again with the intent to intimidate me and to have me falsely arrested. I have been to two attorneys trying to file a restraining order on her, and both attorneys felt that it would only make her angrier and cause her to bring me more harm or even bring more violence against me.

Nothing was done on my case again, and after nearly 3 ½ years of this hell and after hearing nothing for well over two more years after this case became an active again, I decided to ask that the charges against me be dismissed. I got a letter a few days later with a new trial date! I have had to hire another attorney (Jimmy Berry) and spend another $10,000.00 that I didn’t have to spend, and this nightmare continues. They have ruined my life and I lost a 4800 SF awesome home that I personally designed and physically ran the crews and did the labor and everything else to build. It took me two years working 15 to 20 hours a day to complete this beautiful home on property that I bought by Corps of Engineering Property on Lake Allatoona, that, as I mentioned, was one of my father’s and family’s favorite placed to come camp, hunt, fish, swim, and go boating since I was a baby. My father was so proud of me and how well this house was built that it was unbelievable, and now it is unbelievable what has been done by those in this system that are corrupt and dishonest in order to destroy me.

I filed a complaint against the former detective (that is now in uniform patrol), and I feel that he has committed the crime of Violation of Oath of office and violated my rights, someone, and I believe it was this detective, committed the crime of Felony Tampering with Evidence. This is nothing less than the obstruction of justice. I have filed a complaint in Internal Affairs and, after some avoidance of this fact, this is still pending.

I have talked to Rep. Byrd from my district and she says that she "has had someone look into my case for me and that I would just have to go to trial and see it through." No one has contacted me to find out my side of the story or the proof that I have to offer of these wrongs committed against me. Rep. Byrd refused to give me the name of this person that"investigated" my case. I have talked to a friend of mine who is an honest police officer and he told me that he does not believe that Rep. Byrd had anyone investigate my case, because she would willingly give me this person name if this were true and that this investigator would have to communicate with me and my witnesses to get my side of the story, and this has not taken place. I also recently talked with Mike Byrd, and he said he was going to talk with Garry Moss.

My lawyer called me two weeks ago and he told me that the Assistant District Attorney, Wally Rogers, that now has my case, interviewed the witness for the State and the alleged victim and, apparently, he was not impressed (go figure). He now wants to interview the only witness that was at the scene of this incident, and yet was never interviewed, some 81 moths later. I have given my consent for this interview, and of course my lawyer will accompany him. As of yet this interview has never taken place and I really have no idea why.

I had an interview on Friday, June 10, with my first attorney, now a very powerful witness, and he is an honest man and stands by the truth and the facts of what has been done to me. I'm very grateful and lucky to have Jeffery Rusbridge as a witness for me and the power of his honest testimony to this obstruction of justice may be the key to victory in proving my innocence.

I have sent letters to my attorney to get him to review them, but I never get any feedback on them. I have taken in upon myself to take letters describing the facts of my case to the District Attorney and asking him to investigate my case.

My attorney, Jimmy Berry, called on Monday and said that he was trying to get the felony charge dropped. He told me give him four days to work on it and he would get back with me. It is difficult to know what to believe and what is actually, in reality, taking place.

My trial dates come an go, and the next ones on paper are for June 20 and 27, 2005 and I don't really know what will go on there. I may go to trial on one of these dates or I may not, I just don't know. I don’t think I will go to trial because my attorney and I have not prepared for trial. There is no way in my heart that I can believe that I can get a fair trial here in Cherokee County and my attorney has not filed a Motion for a Change of Venue as I asked him to do, and as he said he would. I have was that you cannot file this motion for something like what has been done to me, yet there is no way that I
could get a fair and impartial trial here. In fact my attorney has done nothing I have asked him to do, and I am suppose to just trust in him. I have spent $42,000.00 fighting false allegations from woman and the wrongs by this former detective and having money extorted from me and I have lost everything including a 4800 SF custom home that I designed and physically built.

Please consider the facts of what I tell you and please email me or call me if you want to talk to me. I just wish somebody would get to know me for the person I am and not for what these low class women have said about me. Please contact Jeff Rusbridge and discuss this case with him. I will be glad for you to contact my other witnesses as well, if you desire to do so.

I fully believe that the truth of what has been done to me, if approached and faced head on will bring about justice. My mother is sick and dieing and I don’t want to burden my family with this any more than I have too. My father would be proud of the way that I have stood up for my innocence and my rights, and how I have become an advocate for others that are wrongly accused or convicted. Please help me in my fight for the truth and my fight to hold this man accountable for the wrongs he has done.

You can email me back (kerrym1@mindspring.com) or call me at 404 886-2503.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regards,

Kerry C. Walker
