The ACLU has taken up the Reynolds defense in the grand jury proceedings, claiming in initial court papers that subpoenas sought by a "frustrated prosecutor seeking to silence a dissenting advocate" have a chilling effect on First Amendment rights.]]></description>

[Reynolds:] “The Administration can also show substantive empathy right away, for the 50 million Americans in pain currently being denied pain treatment by doctors terrorized by the [DEA]. These desperate Americans shouldn’t be made to wait for the President to appoint a new justice.”]]></description>

Because [Treadway's obstruction of justice] investigation lacks any good faith basis, Ms. Reynolds does not claim a Fifth Amendment privilege with respect to any of the materials sought by the subpoena.(1) Ms. Reynolds maintains that she has committed no crime and that there is nothing in the requested materials that could inculpate her in the obstruction of justice, witness tampering or jury tampering. For all of these reasons, this Court should quash the March 10 subpoenas issued to Siobhan Reynolds and PRN.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AUSA Treadway wants to drag Ms. Reynolds before a Grand Jury for, get this, obstruction of justice! in the case of U.S. v Dr. Schneider. If we were not talking about the mockery of American justice Bush appointees routinely make in cases like Schneider and Shaygan this would be really funny. Siobhan Reynolds is obstructing justice? Utter nonsense. It is prosecutor Treadway for the USA who, if not obstructing justice in this case, is surely doing everything she can to delay it.]]></description>

U.S. District Judge Gold said there were "flagrant violations" of basic rules by Shaygan's prosecutors, and that "important safeguards were not met." An order from Gold is expected in a few weeks.]]></description>

Consider Dr. Jackson&#8217;s article, <a href="http://doctordeluca.com/Library/WOD/ConvictWithoutCrime08.pdf" title="Conviction Without a Crime: a True Story - Jackson, J.Amer.Phys.Surg, 2008">Conviction without a Crime</a>, to be a companion piece to Dr. Rottschaefer&#8217;s article discussed in the previous item here, <a href="http://doctordeluca.com/wordpress/archive/dr-martinez-new-charges/" title="The Criminal Criminal Justice System">The Criminal Criminal Justice System</a>. Together these two articles will give the reader a good sense, I think, of the utter breakdown of professional ethics, common sense, and fairness in any case involving controlled substances.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spoke to Billy's wife briefly, recently, and am very happy to be able to report that Dr. Hurwitz is no longer in federal prison. He is currently in a half-way house in D.C. and will be transitioning to house arrest as part of his parole and probation requirements...
He is in a sort of "titration to house arrest" best I understand it.

Meaning, he is starting to get overnight visits with his family - YEA! - and more and more of that till he sort of "stabilizes" on a regimen of maintenance house arrest. (Is house arrest a substitution therapy for real life in the new world order?)

Once the titration is complete, he will be able to communicate freely again, and accept visits by invitation. I think he has a job lined up as part of his probation.

Billy Hurwitz is coming back to us!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The nonprofit Pain Relief Network (PRN) says the guidelines for prescribing narcotics, written by the Washington state Department of Health and published in March 2007, have influenced pain treatment across the country and have made doctors afraid to give opiate prescriptions. Siobhan Reynolds, PRN president, says the group decided to target WA because the state has been a leader both in pain treatment and in restricting doctors' prescriptions of pain relief medication.

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Schneider's pretrial motions to dismiss on constitutional grounds, and his motions for abstention have been filed, as has the Government's opposition to those motions, and Dr. Schneider's response to the Government's opposition.  As I understand it, now we wait for rulings by the Judge. The relevant briefs, and the Order releasing Dr. Schneider on bond and setting conditions on that release, are linked to, below.]]></description>
