He has handled numerous trials and has a high success rate in winning cases. Colonel Patrick has no interest in becoming a prosecutor or a judge. The practice of law has undergone significant changes over the years, including the shift from individual lawyer questioning during voir dire to judge-led questioning. The transition from paper discovery to electronic discovery has made the process more time-consuming and challenging. There has been an increase in paperwork and forms in the legal process, which can be burdensome for attorneys. Criminal justice reform, including the elimination of cash bail, has had both positive and negative impacts. The study of history can provide valuable insights and perspectives for lawyers. Managing the business side of law can be challenging, and many attorneys struggle with balancing legal expertise and business acumen. Losing cases can be a valuable learning experience for young lawyers. Colonel Patrick encourages young lawyers to focus on the key elements of a case and not get caught up in nitpicking every detail. The Colonel reflects on his career and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to help others.

Murder of Jerod Draper in a Safe Place

Murder of Jerod Draper in a Safe Place

In 2018, a Guantanamo Bay trained nurse tortured Jarod Draper to death with a fifty-thousand volt Taser while he strapped to a steel chair in Harrison County Jail in Indiana. Any reasonable person who watches Safe Place knows they've witnessed a crime. Please help bring attention via Change.org petition ⁠https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-jarod-draper Larry Wilder is fighting for justice in the jailhouse murder of Jerod Draper. In October, 2023, the statute of limitations will expire, and justice betrayed. View the documentary, Safe Place: https://safeplacefilm.com Any reasonable person who watches Safe Place knows they've witnessed a crime. Please help bring attention via Change.org petition https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-jarod-draper A Guantanamo Bay trained nurse, named Michael Gregory, and Dustin Cundall, jail captain, were the primary actors in the jail cell when Jerod Draper was killed. While being shocked, Draper’s hands, chest, and feet were all strapped to a five-point restraint chair. His official cause of death was determined to be an overdose, but what angers his mother is how he was treated while he was alive. But the FBI refuses to investigate, and the local prosecuting attorney, Otto Shalk, does not have the juice to act on behalf of justice. If there is no legitimate effort to pursue this case, the clock will run out in Oct 2023. At that point, the guilty will get a pass for murder in Indiana. The clock is ticking. In October, 2023, the statute of limitations will expire, and the associated moral-hazard will be transferred to those who chose to look the other way, when it was their job to do otherwise. The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has a history of bringing charges when law enforcement officials abuse their power.
