“Liberty Interest” “Fruit from the Forbidden Tree, Murder by Incarceration, Systemic Racism, Judicial Slavery” 

By Karen Marine

Quoted definition…. A liberty interest, in legal terms refers to the constitutional protection against government actions that infringe upon an individual’s freedom including physical freedom, and the ability to pursue that is livelihood and other fundamental rights. It is a key concept within the due process clause of the 14th amendment, which prohibits states from depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Liberty traditionally includes freedom from physical confinement, such as imprisonment.

This is where we are at. It has been determined that the judicial system in San Diego meant for David to die in prison. His Constitutional Civil Rights as an American Citizen have been viciously violated from day one and has continued for years. Spending now 43 years in prison fighting for his life and the truth. 

David Dew C67417, is still being held captive, imprisoned by the Judicial system of San Diego, CA. He recently went to his 13th Parole Board Hearing. David worked extremely hard to achieve certificates, accolades and pass his college classes with straight A’s and receiving a 4.0 GPA and has been saving the lives of inmates through the Peer Specialist program that he takes very seriously. He is about to take the state board test to continue his work in the community to prevent others from enduring the same cruel and unusual punishment he has received. Before his June 12th hearing, his daughter retained a board attorney whom many refer to as “THE BULLXXX” referred and very respected, so they said. He told David after going through his fifty pieces of photos, information, sponsor letters and achievements, and college transcripts for suitability for parole, that he did not see anything that would or should keep him from being released. Then, this attorney recruited by others, set David up in the board room. The attorney called the DA to appear; she was fixed to be there to try and push aiding and abetting on his second-degree murder charge reenacting the conviction. They also argued about the one note that the Judge allowed to deny David’s release in 2019 at the first evidentiary hearing, when all hearsay and inadmissible documents were thrown out at the preliminary hearing 43 years ago. Still the Judge allowed the note to deny his release. It was all about his conviction. David was rushed through conviction and in prison within five weeks, he was told if he went to trial, he could get the death penalty. Hell, they were contemplating probation. If he did have a trial in 1983, he would not have been there at all. Instead, he was railroaded into a west plea for second degree murder for fifteen to life. If he knew then that he would be in prison for 43 years, don’t you think he would have asked to go to trial? Does anybody have a question at this point? This is why we have been fighting. The Federal Bureau of Investigations has been involved now going through phone calls, records, and speaking with disgraced individuals. They thought they were still playing with an ignorant Black man. What is wrong? David educated himself taking part in every program offered to him and equipped himself with knowledge and the love of his father Jesus Christ.

The attorney retained set the stage for all of this, calling on who he thought would follow their process. Within his contract, he was also to alert the Inspector General or someone else to come in and investigate the dirty urines that they have been trying to use against David. There were twenty-five urines that were collected by someone, and he was told to throw them all out by the assistant warden months prior. They were trying to dirty David’s urine because of trying to set him up, and they did this before every parole hearing. One of their own officers tested positive, that is why they were thrown out. David went to the doctor and found out they had four dirty urines on him which was NEVER discussed in his recent visits. Being a Peer Specialist David is required by law to sign a letter stating that he was aware that they could evaluate his urine at any time. So why would he be dirty?

David has been clean for years. David then told the doctor that he wanted a blood drug test and that he would wait for the results. What happened next? The doctor started shaking and stuttering. The doctor knew that David was aware of what they were doing, and he wrote four notes stating that the tests were not conclusive of being positive in his chart. David’s blood drug test came back negative, a day after a dirty urine. There was also an article of information sent out to the public through The Guardian Newspaper that alerted the public, all prisoners, staff and doctors on 04/09/2025 that over 6000 inmates have been affected by false positive urines making prisoners stay for longer prison terms due to the findings through Quest Diagnostics. David knew this attorney would not fulfill this task, so he alerted the parole board by writing a letter to them himself stating that he directed his lawyer to call for an investigation. There was one commissioner who was asking David several questions about being remorseful. David would become emotional at times. However, the DA kept turning the camera off and was quickly asked by the commissioner, “why do you keep turning off the camera when he becomes emotional during remorseful questioning? Turn it on and leave it on.” The commissioner then read David’s letter aloud. This commissioner locked eyes and David said with tears, “I am telling you the truth Sir.” He knew David was telling him the truth and if anyone was wondering, the co-defendants did their time for the murder, but they kept David. Both the DA and the attorney looked at each other and knew they were in trouble. The commissioner then said, “this man has been in prison for a long time, even for aiding and abetting on a felony second degree murder rule. We are not going to kick the tin can down the road any longer on this man, he has been here far too long. Liberty Interest.” He said it many times. “I am calling for an investigation.”  HALLELUJAH FINALLY!!!

From 2019 going through the process of submitting the paperwork to start David’s release, this has been a complete roadmap of the horrific corruptive discord of law that David has had to accept with these Judges, DA’s, Attorney Generals , Lawyers, some Public Defenders, and others including correctional officers,  who are continuing to prevent his freedom. They are doing everything they can to keep David in prison for the rest of his life. There were only a few attorneys along the way doing the right thing, however, they were disrespected by the Judge and the DA for doing excellent work. We have been through two evidentiary hearings, and two appellate level hearings. MaryEllen Attridge, Jenerra Crenshaw and Shay Dinata-Hanson have all done excellent work. The brief of exposing all the corruptive mayhem through San Diego sits on the Appellate Court desk awaiting the Supreme Court Decision.

 They are covering up their unbelievable corruption stemming back 50 years and they are now all about to be exposed, and the fact findings are astronomical and will shock the State of California.

What we have been really upset about is the long  list of people (and I can list all of you) who are a highly respected and professional, who have been contacted regarding David’s case for years, who in fact are mandated by law  who have taken an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States to protect the constitutional and civil rights of all American Citizens. Yet they have all turned a deaf ear as David still cries out for help. At some point WHO? For God Sakes will stand up and say enough is enough. Over an eleven-year period we contacted hundreds of professionals. Civil rights leaders, Governors, Senators along with assembly personnel, bishops, pastors, and many others and all have done nothing. What really is our world coming to when all our respected leaders do not have any more humanity in their heart and souls? But still, God is there by his side and in his cell and in his heart, covering him and exposing all of them along the way. We know that it is God who sustains him and will break those chains and bring the right lawful people to make sure he is safely released to Freedom and bring justice to those involved IN THIS HORRIBLE INJUSTICE dating back 50 years. David has continued to sow good seeds, it is harvest time. THIS IS HISTORY!! 

David does not have the money to pay to get out of prison, which is really what all of this is about. David always knew he was innocent and was not involved in the struggle that took the life of the victim. He has been accountable for his actions for 43 years now. He has never been in a fight in prison, saved a guard’s life, created a children’s foundation for bullying and violence, he is a litigator, a program specialist, he created Gangs Anonymous years ago and is still creating programs inside the prison system that they still use today for recidivism, he is a singer, song writer and producer and wrote four movement songs for the world, to detour violence in this dying world of hate. He is an amazing artist and a peer specialist, counseling men for years to help them navigate themselves through the decisions they made to understand what happens while they are there. He has been deterring men not to commit suicide and save their lives when they have been plotting to take his.

David had two sons; both have been murdered while David has been incarcerated. He had to postpone two parole hearings because they kept setting him up. He could not get to them in time. Prison is a volatile atmosphere, for David, working toward his goal of Freedom and his love for Jesus Christ has been the strong hold of his purpose. He always maintained and navigated through the roadblocks and set ups but kept learning. His strength is unquestionable, his mind is sharp, and he is incredibly wise, always maintaining his innocence with one main goal upon release, saving children across America from senseless acts of violence. David made a promise to Senator Alan Cranston, Ex Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso, and Pastor Cecil L. Murray. All these iconic respected leaders tried to bring David to freedom. He gives them honor and continually prays that they rest in GLORY & PEACE!!

To understand David Dew is to know that he has continually worked hard achieving to become a better human being, and he is an amazing individual. He created artwork to help with his defense and to help detour struggling gang members to turn their focus to art and do better in society. David also recognized the suicides of young children not being able to understand the struggle and act of being bullied by others, cyber bullying as well and wanted to break the cycle, so he created Save America’s Children, The Movement of Love & The Movement of Good.

I would like to share David’s message to Everyone:

 I am reaching out to All American Citizens. My name is David Dew. I am an American Citizen too, whose civil and constitutional rights have been violated and continues to be. This is being done to me because no matter how loud I have cried out to others for help, I continue to be ignored. I have been incarcerated now for 43 years on a “West Plea” to second degree murder. During my incarceration, I have not been involved in a fist fight, I have saved a guard’s life, have been collaborating with both correctional staff and community leaders for years, most of whom are deceased. I currently work as a Peer Specialist and have a client list of forty to fifty inmates a week.

I am pleading for someone to call upon the California State Attorney General’s office to dispatch someone here to investigate my case because a lot of people have violated the law and the parole board finally ordered an investigation, but I need the Attorney General’s involvement because what they will find will shock the state, and I want to make sure the information is not lost. Finally, you all should know that on January 5, 2025, my second son was murdered. My youngest son was murdered in 2006. However, if it had not been for the consistent civil rights and constitutional violations constructed against me, I would have been free, and my older son would have been with me celebrating Father’s Day together on June 15, 2025. I need those of you who have the time and believe in the United Sates Constitution and the right to fair justice to please email the California Attorney General’s office asking him to please send someone to speak with me while I am still able.
