RE: John Stuart Maricopa County Superior Court case number: CR2008-106594

Mr. Attorney General:

I learned of this case on an internet radio show and after hearing John tell his story I was curious that there could be so much corruption and obfuscation of justice and naturally initially questioned his version of the facts so I took the time to discover for myself what happened that night at the intersection of Tatum Boulevard and Pinnacle Peak Road. I read the witness statements and the autopsy report, I read the complaint and the pleadings, I did all I could to glean every scintilla of factual information that was available to me from the courts and the news stories.  I believe I have as good an understanding as can be had from my vantage point and honestly I am puzzled that these charges were even filed, or that a bill of presentment was made, that is until I learned how the prosecutor deceived the grand jury and withheld critical exculpatory witness statements from them.

Upon information and belief based on the eye witness accounts from that night John encountered an intoxicated Thomas Beasley, more than twice the legal limit, who was by all accounts out of his car and according to one witness “groping” at John Stuart in an attempt to strangle him. The passenger in Stuart’s car stated that Beasley was making threats of harm.  After the shooting there was blood evidence on the car, on the magnetic political signs on his car door, on the windshield and on John’s clothing, any of which would clearly show Beasley was in John’s face threatening him and his girlfriend with bodily harm and that this was nothing more than a simple open shut case of self-defense.

Unfortunately for John the man he killed while defending his own life must have had some very powerful connections that have influenced the prosecutors and investigators in the case to lie, cheat, or steal to keep the truth from ever seeing the light of day. Seven major elements of exculpatory evidence are gone missing, the only thing left is the alleged “murder” weapon, and even it is misidentified.

Where is the evidence that clears John and why has it been allowed to go missing?

The truth should matter.

Please be honest with yourself and the people you serve and investigate the circumstances of the investigation and grand jury process that led to the indictment and I believe you will see for yourself that John is the true victim in this case.

Warm Regards,

Charles B Vance
