Description |
Unjustly convicted Massachusetts prisoner working on
developing new evidence, writing my life's story, a screenplay with the help of
my wife Danielle. For my website ads, addresses and information you may email Danielle at Boo245@aol.com . To directly write me, I am Robert J. Shelley w36832, SBCC PO Box 8000, Shirley Mass.01464-8000 I am looking for child sexually abused victims of William C. Dubbels formerly of 402 Coronation Drive Franklin Mass, prior to September 3,1975. I am serving natural life for killing him when he tried to sexually abuse me. I was a child that was sexually abused at 10 1/2 years old and I was 19 when Dubbels tried it with me and I did kill him. Court and police covered up Dubbles and his accomplices and their activities to avoid a small town scandal. I'll die in prison without help. I am asking for your help, Danielle and I
can not do this on our own. So please help us fight for my release, only you
can, one person at a time. |

Dear Members: Free Robert J. Shelley,
I want to personally thank all of you who are taking an interest in being a
member of this group and helping me get the truth out, even if it is thirty
years late in coming. I would like to request that you get as many people as you
can to join and also sign my petition for pardon to the Governor of
Massachusetts at Petition Online.com
I don't care if you live in Massachusetts or wherever in the world you live,
you're a human being and you have a right to join me in petitioning for my
freedom. Allow no one to usurp or deny you this right.
The reason my story was never told was due in part to one of "our" rights being
usurped in a 1971 case before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in which
they removed " The Right To Make An Un sworn Statement" to a jury in a Capital
case, before the jury deliberated a capital case.
The right was a right protected by our Massachusetts Constitution, Article 12
which protects our right to be "fully heard" in our defense and all previous
rulings by the courts prior to 1971 protected this provision of the un sworn
statement as "a right" protected under Article 12.
An "un sworn statement" was a provision based upon our constitutional right to
"speak to the jury about to deliberate a case, the consequences of which could
carry the penalty of Death or the Lifetime loss of liberty."
This is not to be confused with the right to testify before the jury, this
merely protected a person right of free speech to the jury of his or her peers
to standup and explain in his or her own words "what happened " that brought him
or her before a jury to be judged on serious matters that, at the time could
cost a defendant his or her life or their liberty forever.
A natural life sentence removes a persons liberty to the day of his or her
death-- it is in essence, a very long death sentence for young person, a short
sentence for a person late in life with little time left on Gods Clock.}
That is a right I tried to request and was denied at my 1978 trial where I only
wanted to tell the jury my story as it happened, not in the contest manner
between my lawyer and the assistant district attorney.
I wanted the jury to understand that I had the right to sleep without being
sexually attacked in my sleep no matter if I was a man or a woman, no matter if
I had legally consumed alcohol earlier that night, and no matter of any
other circumstance used to convict me of murder in the first degree. I wanted to
say to the jury that I wouldn't have killed Mr. Dubbels if he hadn't implemented
a plan to intoxicate and/or drug me into a state of defenseless incapacitation.
I was a naive suburban nineteen year old as stupid as the prosecution had made
me look, a man on trial for his life, should be allowed to tell the jury
directly what had happened.
I've studied some law over the past thirty years of being in prison, and I
learned that the Supreme Judicial Court may interpret law but they have no
authority or power to take a "right" away, only the legislature may do that.
So, in 1971, when they usurped that Massachusetts Constitutional right to
address a jury of ones peers without harassment of the court or prosecutor, not
as evidence, but for themselves if a person on trial for their life was affected
by the circumstances that would have influenced the events in question to the
point that if there was a crime committed, was it a capital crime, or a lesser
crime, or possibly, in their opinion a very tragic event that could not be
classified as a criminal incident and an opportunity as a jury to
determine they did not believe a "crime per se" was committed and that the
deceased provoked the incident which caused his death or caused the accused to
react in a state of mind which would only be defined criminal if it was
unprovoked.
I wanted to "open up" to the jury but the court would not allow me to speak
openly to the jury, they bound me to rules of the court that silenced me. They
decimated my right to make an un sworn statement, they nullified our right to
right to free speech, a cornerstone of every Americans right.
Eventually, all the trial transcripts of two separate trial, psychiatric
reports, prison records, and links to witnesses perjury, false reports, errors
of perception stated to the jury by the judge, and finally, you will be one of
the first group of people who will have a chance to hear what really happened on
September 3rd, 1975 which caused the death of William C. Dubbels, a resident of
402 Coronation Drive, Franklin, Mass 1968 thru 1975.
You will have the opportunity to "judge" me from my own words, the truth as
known only by me and Mr. Dubbels and facts no jury was allowed to hear as both
the court and police along with prosecutors excluded enormous amounts of true
evidence and planted false evidence.
These are not just my words-- you will see in the two sets of transcripts, many
reports, and after thirty years in prison, because of The World Wide Web and the
dedication of my wife Danielle and all of you who have or will have helped her,
that I should finally be able to have a life with my "own" family-Myself,
Danielle, and our daughter Brianna.
There are literally over a hundred thousand people who believe my conviction was
an injustice and that I never should have been imprisoned-- I believe I
killed Mr. Dubbels and I had no control at that time as to what happened and,
that, in and of itself shames me and hurt me. Knowing you have killed another
person no matter what the circumstances will leave you with a never ending
queasiness in you stomach. It can't be classified as guilt or innocence, lawful
or unlawful, just personally sad and hurtful.
I now have an avenue to the world to explain how and to a small degree why these
events took place, and why the intervention of authorities, who could have acted
upon complaints and common knowledge of the residents around the Coronstion
Drive area would have prevented my having ever met Mr. Dubbels and in today's
heightened awareness of pedophiles and rapists would have imprisoned Mr. Dubbels
long before I became an employee of the White Hen Pantry in Needham, hired
personally by Mr. Dubbels as his planning begun long before he met me, I just
fit, or so he thought, into his realm of possibilities to secure more victims
for himself and his accomplices, some of whom are/ were well know to Franklin
authorities who shielded them as the Cardinals of My Church concealed their
scandals.
Thank You, I hope you can help
