David Rome: 'I Learned the Law Sitting in My Jail Cell and Beat the Gov't'
September 27, 2023
David Michael Rome is actually a show listener. He got in touch with me to tell a remarkable albeit somewhat difficult to understand story about representing himself in court after studying relevant law by himself to fight against what he perceived as excessive use of force by government and abuse of court restrictions against citizens asking for discovery against government. He has a lot of other stories to tell, some of which strike me as far-fetched though I think he believes them. So I don't know just where this is gonna go but I want to have a listen.
From an email he sent me: "I took charge and learned the law sitting in my jail cell in 2001 reading every book I could get a hold of. I took what would have killed most people was sentenced to over 20 years in prison, most people would have just given up. But I learned the law and turned it all around, overturned my conviction Sued Denver and the cops and doing so have helped a lot of people. The Colorado Court of Appeals Certificate of Review (C.R.S 13-20-602) issue in my opinion limited normal people access to the court and that was my argument, I want to have that addressed by the law makers and hopefully can get that issue before them."
