What the Record Establishes

  • Each audited instrument has an identifiable signer and an identifiable factual attestation.
  • For several, contemporaneous government records describe the same facts differently.
  • Verification under 735 ILCS 5/1-109 carries the penalties of perjury by its own terms.

What They Have Not Produced

  • What each signer knew at the moment of signature.
  • The source records each certification relied on.
  • Whether any certification was corrected once the conflicting record surfaced.

One page of one petition contains both the oath and its contradiction. The verified Petition to Revoke Pre-Trial Release swears the defendant “committed: A Class 4 Felony.” The same page describes the referenced Cook County charge as pending. It was later dismissed on the State’s own motion. No trial, no plea, no finding — at any point — supported the word “committed.” Under 735 ILCS 5/1-109, a knowingly false statement in a verified pleading is perjury, a Class 3 felony. The verification page carries a signature, and the signature carries a question the record has yet to hear answered: what personal knowledge supported that oath?

Why the immunity shield does not reach it

Kalina v. Fletcher, 522 U.S. 118 (1997), is unambiguous: a prosecutor who personally certifies facts under oath acts as a complaining witness, not an advocate, and forfeits absolute immunity for that act. The 42-page federal referral preserved in this archive as Exhibit V runs the analysis in full. This page states the referral’s position and publishes the documents that ground it; the adjudication belongs to the courts now holding it.

The verified language, the same-page pending description, and the dismissal are all published here with citations into the stamped record. This audit requires no trust in this website — only the ability to read two lines of the State’s own document and notice that they cannot coexist.
