Maddox

"Tour De Georgia"

16" x 20" Oil On Canvas $400.00

Sorry to my blog fans out there, yesterday I did not post because I was obsessed with completing a large painting for The Nashville show this weekend. I completed the painting but then I started another 9" x 12" bike racing painting for Brookhaven show this weekend.


Today I go to court to fight a stupid traffic ticket in Alpharetta for following too closely. The only reason I am going to fight this ticket is because I am going to make the stupid court prove beyond the shadow of a doubt I am guilty. I believe that our court system is not fair which therefore means I am going to loose as I always do. We have a court system that was made a mockery of during the OJ Simpson trial.


I have never won in court and I usually am threatened with contempt of court court or asked to refrain. My last famous court appearance I was in Ellijay and I made the judge so mad he threw his pencil across the desk. I consider this as an act of violence towards me but I decided to refrain. If the police officer does not show for the court date then the state has no witness against me and therefore can not prove the case against me.


That is what I pointed out to the judge as I was reading straight from the Georgia Law code. You see Judges have a worse senses of God like power than your average cop. They feel they can rule against the written laws outlined in our state code of law. Which actually goes against our constitutional rights as citizens of the state and country.

However in the case of the Elijay speeding ticket I asked for a jury trial which really pissed off the old judge. I managed to get the entire courtroom quiet as everyone watched my mini trail. I even had the District Attorney's attention as I attempted to play Maddox. Even the overweight sheriffs bailiff awoke from his nap to see what the commotion was about. The judge got so fed up with me and my arrogant self that he threw his pencil and told me fine we will have a trial if that is what you want.


You could hear a pin drop in the court room as I pondered this thought for a minute. I decided that my chance of winning would be better in a third would country courtroom where I did not even speak the language. So I negotiated for no points but I had to reluctantly pay the fine so the judge could take his mistress out for a nice dinner at the Waffle House.


I have a long history of court room misconduct and standing up for my rights as an American Citizen by birth. That part of me will never change I have always stood up for my rights and I always will. I could write a book about the injustice I have seen in the courtroom. but I need to paint not write a book.


Maybe tomorrows blog will be a recap of today's adventure if the hearing goes my way then no story if not then a good story will follow.
