Dear Governor Perdue, September 25, 2005

I have been able to document and have absolute proof by way of witnesses and evidence in transcripts, reports, etc. of corruption and dishonesty in the judicial processes in my county.

I have proof of Violation of Oath of Office, and Felony Tampering with Evidence by means of attemps of Obstruction of Justice.

I have spent over $26,000.00 in legal fees in this case alone and over $42,000.00 total in fighting for my rights and for my innocence and it is not over yet. I was the victim in this case and I was turned into the perpetrator. I celebrated thirteen years of sobriety on April 12 by the grace of God and I turned my life around over thirteen years ago. I have worked all twelve steps in the Twelve Step program and I have done the best I can, but I'm not perfect. It has now been over four (4) years since this incident occurred on September 16, 2001 and I had not heard a thing about it since going to trial nearly 2 ½ years ago. I went to trial on it on November 19, 2002, and the trial ended because of tampering with evidence by the State and Violation of Oath of Office, but the judge made light of all this and did nothing to look into it. The only reason my case became active again was because I asked the DA's office to formally dismiss these charges on March 17, 2005, and I got a new trial date three days latter also dated March 17, 2005.

I have lost everything because of this, including a 4300 sq. ft. custom home that I designed and physically built on a beautiful piece of land that was my father's and my families favorite place to camp, hunt, fish, swim and go boating. This incident happed the week after the September 11 attacks and I had gone to do a skydive with this unbalanced "biker" woman that turned it into a total nightmare. I was very depressed about September 11 and, although I already had this planned, now I wanted to do something thrilling even more to get out of it. I have kept my head through all of this and since doing that skydive several years ago I have become an Accelerated Freefall Instructor with the United States Parachute Association and have my PRO Demonstration Rating as well. I'm sure you would be proud of me.

As I said, I asked the DA's office in writing to dismiss this indictment against me because I was arrested in error, but all I got in the mail was a new trial date. I want some kind of resolution in this matter now. Governor Perdue, it is my promise to you that what has been done to me is beyond understanding and shows how an innocent man can be pursued by a corrupt system that is willing to do anything to win. Why do they want to even try to convict an innocent man and put an innocent man in prison? Everything about this case points to my innocence if anyone from the State would look.

I'm fully aware that you cannot get involved in anything that is in the adjudication process, unless there is some type of criminal behavior or violations of my Contitutional rights. My promise to you is that there have been crimes committed against me and my rights have been violated on every turn, and I tell you someone needs to investigate the corruption in my town. I have stood up for myself and I have fought this without fear. But it gives me an empty feeling in my stomach when I realize just how corrupt my town is and how no one is willing to do anything about it. The more I fight for the truth the more the system reacts to try to convict an innocent man. Just because I am innocent and because I am fighting for my innocence, the State views it that I am “challenging” or "bucking" the system. Well over three years ago I contacted Bobby Franklin and Chuck Schied about this and communicated several times with them over time. I put together a 185 page document on January 12, 2002 that substantiates the facts about this corruption and I sent it to Senator Zell Miller with a letter on February 20, 2002. I have now written a twenty four-page dissertation of the latest facts on this case. Representative Byrd is very familier with my case, and I had hoped that she could help me as well, but she has misled me by telling me she had my case investigated. I have proof her statements to me have not been true and I have an honest cop that is on my side and is aware of this injuctice.

My first attorney and now witness in my case, Jeff Rusbridge, is a very honest attorney and he is aware of all this. I also have an "expert" witness to collaborate the truth of what I say. Then there is the eyewitness that was at the scene of this alleged incident, and his testimony is proof that this woman is a liar, yet he was never interviewed by the State. In fact this woman is known to have grave emotional and mental disorders and to be a prolific and pathological liar. When all the information is looked into, the reality of this woman's demented mental condition and her dishonesty is evident.

When I look at the facts and the corruption and deceit, it is with a sane and rational fear that I feel strongly that I cannot get a fair trial in Cherokee County. A tape that was recorded and a transcript of this tape was doctored to stop with a "Bye" that was not said at this point as indicated by this transcript. The conversation that continued by this recorded message on an answering device would have proved my innocence and proved this unbalance female to be violent and a liar. We have never been able to get a copy of this recorded message from the State and have tried for nearly four years with several motions of discovery.

When I attempted to show critical evidence to the former Detective Peavy when he came out on a search warrant, he purposely avoided considering the fact of this evidence, but he was unaware that both my attorney and an "expert" witness had already seen the condition of this evidence nearly two months before. This evidence in of itself could have proved the allegations to be false. Then at my Trial someone from the State, and I betting it was the former Detective Peavy, chose to alter this evidence and committed the crime of Felony Tampering with Evidence, yet Judge Sumner made light of this crucial fact, and did not dismiss these charges against me. Nor was there any hearings of any kind to investigate the “chain of custody” or to investigate anything about the altering of this evidence that was the crux of my case in proving my innocence. Peavy is no longer an investigator, thank God, and I hope he never gets back into this line of work. The amazing thing is that he is now Corporal Peavy in uniform patrol and has moved up in this area of his life while happily destroying mine. This does not sit well with me and Derick Corbett with John Linders office said that this did not sit well with him either.

I promise you with all the integrity left in me Governor, had this detective been along for this weekend I spent with this unbalanced woman he would have seen how I was the victim of this nut case, and I would have never been arrested. In fact she would have been the one he would have arrested. But had this investigator done a good investigation or any investigation at all, and at least talked to the only primary witness, I would have never been arrested and charged with this indictment. My dream, Governor, was to build this custom home, and it was by the grace of God that I found this land to put it on. My next dream was to get a Full Pardon from a plea in 1988 for a 1986 arrest for selling a small amount of cocaine. This woman knew of my dream to get this pardon, because of my openness to her, and she knew that an arrest would make it very difficult for me. This was all about a very sick and self-centered woman and her motives and acts of vengeance to bring more harm to me and the State is helping her do it.

My father was a good man and his life was changed forever when he fought for our freedom for over two years in WWII against Hitler and the Germans. My father died in 1999 when my home was over ninety percent complete and he was so proud of me. He would not be happy with the events of the last several years of my life, and if he were here things would be different. During my father's life he was on the Governor's Staff and he was very well respected.

I have studied law, and every other aspect of my case. I have been involved with several organizations like Father are Parents Too, and the Equal Justice Foundation, and I have learned how some women have learned to use our judicial system and family violence system to get revenge on men. It is sad how this woman told me how she was going to get me, and how all of my money was not going to get me out of it, and she was able to do so. She carried out her revenge and the State has been right there to violate my rights at every turn.

I am telling nothing but the truth, and this attorney and several others can attest to this. All I want is something to be done about this corruption. How does one little man fight the corruption of an entire county that operates way past the good ‘ol boy system of corruption, when no one else even cares?

It is estimated that there are some 100,000 men and women in jail or prison in our great country for a crime that they did not commit. Once arrested, and then indicted, a person becomes a cog in the wheel of this system that will do anything to win a conviction. Once in this “cage of corruption and power” there is no way to get help and you are at the mercy of this system. Just imagine that DNA evidence has cleared one in eight of murder on death row! This alone is proof something is wrong. And then there are so many that have unjust sentances because of the drug war and manditory sentencing guidelines. This is unfair and must change.

The fact is, if a system can let guilty people go, it is also capable of convicting the innocent, especially when it is corrupt and in its struggle for power and ambition it has no concern for the truth. We keep standing by and letting this happen and we are afraid to get involved. This attitude must change if we are ever going to bring about a better system of justice.

I hope you will help me in any way you can and it would be good if I could get a chance to talk with you or your direct assistant.

Blue skies,

Kerry Walker
