Hi my name is Joe Dettelis. I am an
American citizen who was forced to defend myself against
criminal accusations from a federal detention facility. I
was locked up there and various other jails and holding
centers for 31 months just based on accusations. I was not
tried or convicted of anything beforehand. The only pretense
for this "pretrial detention" was the prosecutor's alleged
and unproven, fraudulent claim of "flight risk." A far
fetched claim considering I live only a few miles from the
Courthouse where the trial took place. The actual
accusations brought against me could not result in a
sentence of any more than between ZERO to 5 years. But only
if they had been proved to jurors beyond a reasonable doubt
in a constitutionally protected and fair trial framework.
They were further limited by federal sentencing guidelines
to 12 to 36 months or less. If you are like me and think
that government prosecutors have gone way too far, I ask you
to support this site.
