"Even the mighty oak was yesterday's acorn that stood it's ground"
Celeste's Response
ADA Gary Cobb (one of the prosecutors) said in his closing
argument, "It is said in the Bible in the book of Timothy that
those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, and that they
fall into many snares and many senseless and hurtful desires.
They fall into ruin and perdition. And
what follows that is one of the most famous phrases in the Bible,
that money is the root of all evil. But that's not the
phrase. The phrase that follows that is that love of money is
the root of all evil, because that's what this case is about.
People loved her, but all she loved was
money."
Our forefathers protected us from a situation like this by
separating State
and Church (religion). The Bible verse was used in Celeste's
trial to
impress a receptive jury. Permitting different doctrines in
trials is
subjective and very unfair.
Celeste's Response
No Mr. Cobb, what the Bible says in Isaiah 10:1-2:
"Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
to deprive the poor of their rights,
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people
making widows their prey,
and robbing the fatherless.
and in Isaiah 54:17:
no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,"
declares the Lord.
So, here I sit in prison practically penniless 9 years later,
because after
selling all my possessions to spend
almost $2 million in attorney's
fees, I have been time-barred from the Federal Courts, because
my
Appellate attorney filed my petition four days
late.
No apologies or refunds.
Now, two new witnesses have come forward-- so I have new evidence.
I have sold off everything I owned, and I desperately need help to overturn my conviction.
I DESERVE A FAIR TRIAL!
Celeste needs any information that might help her to prove her
innocence. No
matter how trivial-or even if sent anonymously-please contact her
if you
know anything!
This includes information on anyone involved with the Beard's or with this trial.
Also, if you have any comments or suggestions about this website, she would greatly appreciate that, too! Thank you!
