Multiple Violations of the International Hague Commission Treaty, Canada / US
|
|
|
Section
25 provides a follow-up letter of complaint from Canadian attorney Alan
Gold to the Canadian Department of Justice regarding a full account and
chronology of events that took place following Harmon’s abandonment of
his Canadian Extradition Appeal and his subsequent return to Colorado to deal with the extradition custody charges. Mr.
Gold objected to the repeated violations of the US / Canada (Hague
Commission) Extradition Treaty on four occasions. To add insult to
injury, the Colorado and the Canadian Justice Department's response to
the complaint was to dismiss the incident as having been taken care of
by the ultimate dismissal of the federal complaint and charges.
Harmon's rebuttal with attachments appropriately point out that their
response neglected to take into account the three further violations of
the Treaty by the Federal Marshals and the Arapahoe County DA, not to
mention the three weeks in Federal prison, four days in the Denver Jail
"Killing Fields" or the more than US $50,000 legal costs of getting the
complaint dismissed and gaining Harmon's release. This amount was
generously loaned to Harmon through his Canadian wife, Carolyn's
estate. Of course if Harmon's wife would be willing to finance a civil
case for the above violations, a mere US $50,000 or more toward suing
them would do it? The bottom line is, there is no way to win against legalized corruption as long as the corrupt run the system. No one is held accountable for their actions, even if you are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money!
- The first Treaty violation was Harmon’s arrest by Federal Marshals for back child support while standing at the court entry in El Paso County, Colorado to appear in the extradition custody charge matters.
- The
second Treaty violation occurred after the dismissal of the Federal
charges and sealing of the record by the Federal judge. Federal
Marshals, with the Judges order to release and detain no further in
their possession, defiantly deposited Harmon in the Denver city jail on a Thursday for the four day long weekend with a no charges and no bail instruction. A PDF copy of the computer printout jail record is attached in this section.
- The
third Treaty violation was Harmon’s transfer on the following Tuesday
to Arapahoe County Jail to face further incarceration (against the
Treaty!) and a hearing that same day for a forced financial evaluation.
This was deliberately done without Harmon’s counsel present.
- When
Harmon objected and explained the Federal order and Treaty violation,
he was released on a $750,000 return order and bond which became the
fourth Treaty violation. Subsequently the return bond and order were also dismissed by the Arapahoe County Judge as a fourth violation of the International Treaty.

Questions:
- Alan Gold made it very clear in writing to the DA’s in, El Paso, and Arapahoe Counties before Harmon returned to Colorado,
that any arrest or detention outside of the extradition charges would
violate the International Treaty. As this Treaty is a federal agreement,
how is it that the Federal Prosecutor would be waiting for Harmon with a
sequestered arrest order upon his arrival at the El Paso County Court
scheduled hearing, in direct contravention to the Treaty and then when
ordered by a federal judge to drop these charges and release him
immediately, re-incarcerated him in the Denver City Jail (the ‘Killing
Fields’) for no charges and no bail?
- Why
did the Federal Marshals prevent Harmon from attending his El Paso
County Court hearing involving the extradition child custody charges? To
this day he still has not been able to defend those charges due to the
constant diversions created with other illegal charges every time he has
attempted to return under the original extradition order of the El Paso
County Court.
- When
it was made clear in the first Federal Court hearing by Harmon’s
Counsel on May 11, 2000, that by detaining and arresting him the US authorities were in violation of the US / Canada Treaty, why did the Federal Judge choose to ignore the Treaty and retain Harmon for three weeks on a $150,000 bond?
- When
the first illegal Federal charges were finally dismissed because they
contravened the Treaty and the file was sealed by the court, how could
the Federal Marshals, while holding the court order for release in their
hands and with full knowledge they were violating the Treaty, believe
they could get away with immediately re-arresting Harmon and
incarcerating him in the Denver Jail ‘Killing Fields’ for four days on
the basis of no charges and no bond.
- Who
was responsible for all these arrests when there was full knowledge
that they were blatantly in violation of the Treaty? More influence by
DA’s Suthers and Smith at the Federal Level? Was President Clinton involved?
- How
could the Chief of Staff of the USJD, Michael Horowitz and the Public
Integrity Section find that there was no criminal wrong doing after
examining the full Case History package, and the first and second
supplement with attachments involving more that 500 pages of evidence,
without so much as an investigation?
- Seeing
the thread of consistent documented illegal involvement by John Suthers
at every level of this case, how could George W. Bush appoint him as
Federal Attorney for the State of Colorado? Did the FBI and the Office
of Congressional Affairs really look into Suthers' background as
required before the appointment?
