Thank you for having these two gentlemen on. I think there is a ton of controversy over this case and it all needs to be heard. Well done to the Vanguard for helping the public see another side!
This is clearly miscarriage of justice. Please continue to speak loudly and often of this case. I fully support the idea that an investigation into the conduct of the Judge, District Attorney and the investigating Detective should begin. Thank you for bringing the Dev case to the public attention.
This is a really interesting case in terms of constitutional law. Knowing little about this case, it has nonetheless brought up for me some important questions and concerns involving the due process clauses: 1) pretext phone calls seem to be a good idea in catching the "bad guys", but can this “net” be cast too wide and too indiscriminately. From my view this tactic is a clear violation of the 4th and 5th amendments; and 2) the 6th amendment guarantees a speedy trial, but the idea of a speedy trial was never meant to imply an unfair one. In addition, how can anyone possibly defend their case against a District Attorney who is so apparently politically motivated and unconcerned with the principle of justice? Finally, I am struck by the notion that someone can be put in jail with no physical evidence presented in a trial. All of this is very frightening. Indiscriminate imprisonment was addressed in the Magna Carta and is enshrined in our Constitution. We obviously have a long way to go as it is apparent that we may be still living in the 13th century! Thanks for the program. Hearing it made me want to protect myself and those around me from the “justice” system.
Pretext phone calls??? This kind of policing needs to go to, must be reviewed by the Supreme Court in regards to every state that allows it. If this man is guilty then he is the biggest sex-offender in the history of the US. No way. No way.
What was discussed is very much cause for concern. If someone can be found guilty based on he said she said and no physical evidence, how are we to protect our families? Anyone can make a false allegation. I really appreciate this talk show program and I for one would like to hear more about this case.
I really appreciated your radio interview regarding the Ajay Dev case. Thank you for allowing a measure of the real truth to be told. Having received a copy of the media package I agree with the gentlemen but would like to here more regarding the motivation involved. From what I can see the accuser was motivated to make such fallacious accusations for the price of citizenship. I also agree with Rev Odeye that the case, as many in Yolo county, had the underpinnings of racism. However I believe that it goes far beyond classic racism where I behave a certain way because you are a different color then I am. This is apparently a very calculated operation to railroad people of color because money is involved in the form of grants to prosecute and convict on certain types of cases. I would like to here more on that from your radio show in the future. And as an FYI, since the sentencing is outrageous why isn't this getting more publicity. this needs to be on MSNBC, 48 Hours, 20/20, etc!!! Can you call on your connections in the industry to look into this??? Thank you for you open support for true justice in this case.
I do not usually listen to radio news stations, but I told about the show you did and went to your website to listen for myself. WOW! I told my sister in law about this broadcast and highly suggested her to list as well. Her and her husband adopted a young girl and everything was going well until she has reached her later teen age years and now she is causing them a lot of problems. I would like to hear more about what motivated this woman to make such horrible charges. It is disturbing that someone can be found guilty without any physical evidence. What happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty? I look forward to hearing more about the Dev case.
David you made a comment that you are not sure of racism because the accuser was the same race as the accused. The race of the accuser would not matter, remember she could only make an accusation, it was the Detective and Prosecutor who made the charges and decided to proceed without any physical evidence and the Judge allowed Mr. Dev to be convicted and harshly sentenced without any physical evidence. I am Caucasian and I have seen racism exist even in areas most people would find it hard to believe that it still exists. It is prevalent and should not be discounted just because the accuser and the accused are of the same race. Thank you for bringing this story to the attention of the public and hope that you will continue with this story, as I would like to hear more.
Everyone in this country should be very nervous about the possibility that they might find themselves in a situation similar to Ajay Dev's. This show left me with so many questions running through my head. I found myself wondering how I could possibly defend myself against such allegations were I in that situation? How do you prove that you did not rape a woman over 700 times? How can a case come to trial without any physical evidence? How could a jury bury a man alive in prison based upon subjective "he said, she said" information? How could a jury find a man innocent of some of the charges, but not all of them, considering the fact that the alleged victim accused him of doing it ALL?? Does this mean they think she lied some of the time but not all of the time? How many of us would speak logically to someone accusing us of the most heinous crimes imaginable on the telephone? How many of us are able to clearly articulate ourselves during times of immense stress, such as presented by the pretext phone call, much less in a foreign language? Wouldn't most of us say some pretty outrageous stuff out of anger and frustration?? If one line in a pretext phone call truly was the silver bullet the jury hung their hat on, how could such a dismissal of the reasonable doubt rule be justified in the minds of the jury? THANK YOU David Greenwald for bringing this to the attention of the public. We need to know what's really happening behind those courtroom doors.
