WRONGFULLY CONVICTED

"I, Robert Shelley, under the pains and penalties of perjury swear the information contained in this Pardon Petition to be the absolute truth." 


ROBERT SHELLEY

Robert John Shelley was born September 21st, 1955 at 7:24 P.M., in the Township of Weymouth, Massachusetts.  Robert is currently incarcerated by the Mass. Department of Correction as prisoner number W #36832.  He was convicted of and has been imprisoned for the murder of William C. Dubbels since September 3rd, 1975.

Robert Shelley grew up in an environment of Child Abuse, Sexual Molestation, and a traumatic rape at age 10. He was subject to continuous abuse within and without the "home". He was trained never to speak of such things at any time.

Robert Shelley was nineteen years old at the time of the murder for which he is incarcerated. 

Robert John Shelley went to Dubbels' home in acceptance of Dubbels invitation to a non-existent "party". Dubbels served the alcohol and there is no way to know for sure if Dubbels had drugged Shelley: as was his modus operandi, according to police & private investigators, (information excluded by trial judge). 

Robert Shelley went to the home of Dubbels as an employee of Dubbels White Hen Pantry, 320 Chestnut Street, Needham, Mass., and agreed to stay the night at the request of Dubbels to help Dubbels open the store in the morning as an early morning milk delivery of his job. Bobby Shelley went and stayed at Dubbels' home as a gesture of friendship, not to harm or kill, he never committed the Crime of Murder

Any alcohol he had consumed prior to going to sleep and waking up to an attempted rape, he did so with the blessing of THE GENERAL COURT, as the legal drinking age was Eighteen Years of age in 1975.  If Dubbels' attempt to RAPE Bobby Shelley while Shelley slept had not occurred, Dubbels’ death would not have occurred.

During the trial, Shelley were drugged to the point of intellectual muteness on the Anti-Depressant Drug ELAVIL-- which caused him to doze in court, another compelling need to permit this pardon.

Robert J. Shelley has been continuously incarcerated since September 3rd 1975, for the death of William C. Dubbels, who was formerly residing at 402 Coronation Drive Franklin, Mass. from {1968-1975}. Robert J. Shelley is serving his thirtieth year of imprisonment. There is a compelling need for immediate EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY in this case.

This story cannot be told in a few pages but all information contained herein, including all records of this case, will soon be available on YAHOO/ GROUPS: {See FREE ROBERT J. SHELLEY}

THE VICTIM

On September 2nd 1975, the "victim", William C. Dubbels, was under investigation by the Franklin, Mass. & Mass State Police as an active Pedophile, Rapist, & Peeping Tom. He is also believed to have been a member of NAMBLA {North American Man Boy Love Association} [Entity being civilly sued in the death of Cambridges' Jeffery Curley, young boy raped and murdered by two of NAMBLAS' members.

The reason for the investigation of Dubbels was made by complainants known only to and withheld by Franklin. Mass. & Mass. State Police.  Dubbels was known by these authorities to ply boys & young men with drugs and alcohol; then raping, sexually assaulting, and pornographically photographing them naked involved in various sexual acts, both FORCED & CONSENSUAL depending upon who was a victim and which MEN were Dubbels' close ADULT Accomplices.

Police confiscated Three Suitcases of Man-Boy Pornography & three photo albums of pornographic photos of Dubbels featuring some of his adult accomplices; some of his Boy victims, as well as assorted loose pornographic photographs, NONE OF WHICH INCLUDED OR INVOLVED Bobby Shelley.

These items were seized by Franklin, Mass. & Mass. State Police following Dubbels attempt to RAPE Bobby Shelley, and were excluded as evidence, despite that Shelley’s' awakening to this attempt to RAPE by DUBBELS precipitated all the following events of that night, including Dubbels' death.

Clearly Dubbels attempt to RAPE Bobby Shelley while Shelley Slept after Dubbels employed his modus operandi of Willfully, Wantonly, & Recklessly serving excessive amounts of alcohol to his victims & to intoxicate Bobby Shelley to the point where Dubbels could gain the advantage of an alcohol induced incapacitation over a sleeping "Victim" for the purpose of sexually assaulting & raping Bobby Shelley while Shelley was completely defensively impaired, went beyond even the civil standard M.G.L.A. 231 § 85T, It was Criminally Willful, Wanton, & Reckless conduct; Behavior designated to commit a heinous criminal Sexual assault & the attempted of Rape of Bobby Shelley; a criminal action.


THE ALCOHOL

Three psychiatrists and one psychologist testified that Robert Shelley had suffered a mental illness many years prior to the death of Dubbels. The Prosecution Psychiatrist, The Commonwealths' only "expert" witness testified that alcohol may have partially triggered a disassociative reaction in conjunction with Roberts' mental illness, and "because the alcohol may have partially triggered a disassociative reaction in conjunction with Robert’s mental illness;" Shelley had lost his legal right to his defense of Not Guilty by reason of mental illness. This reasoning is no longer accepted by the Mass. Supreme Judicial Court.

The fact that Robert Shelley was sound asleep and not operating a motor vehicle, and had legally consumed alcohol, “which may have", partially, triggered a mental illness he was unaware he suffered from, and Dubbels' Death was pre-empted by his attempted rape of Bobby Shelley, its very unlikely these conditions were conditions Bobby Shelley could have anticipated, yet the Commonwealths' position was it did not matter that Shelley was asleep when sexually attacked: The court decided Shelley's earlier legal consumption of alcohol denied him of any right to a defense of Not Guilty by reason of mental illness, NOT GUILTY, or Manslaughter, voluntary, or involuntary and "NO" instructions on second degree murder prohibited consideration of second degree in violation of M.G.L.A.265 § 1; Murder.

THE LAW - M.G.L.A.

M.G.L.A. 265§ 1; [Murder defined].

Murder committed with deliberately premeditated malice aforethought, or with extreme atrocity or cruelty, or in the commission or attempted commission of a crime punishable with death or imprisonment for life, is murder in the first degree. Murder which does not appear to be in the first degree is murder in the second degree. Petit treason shall be prosecuted and punished as murder. The degree of murder shall found by the jury.

The Commonwealth clearly recognized by M.G.L.A. 138 § 64A the sale of alcohol to persons under 21 years of age was a grievous error on the part of the GENERAL COURT and the age was subsequently raised back to 21 years of age.

M.G.L.A. 231 § 85T. Negligence action for serving alcohol to intoxicated person prohibited. In any action injuries, property damage or consequential damages caused by or arising out of the negligent serving of alcohol to an intoxicated person... by a person or entity serving alcohol... but for which no license is required, no such intoxicated person who causes injuries to himself, may maintain an action against the said person or entity in the absence of willful, wanton, or reckless conduct on the part of the licensee or such person or entity.

M.G.L.A. 265 § 24: Assault with intent to commit rape ; weapons ; punishment ; eligibility for furloughs, education, training or employment programs. Whoever assaults a person with intent to commit a rape shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more then twenty years or by imprisonment in a jail or house of correction for not more then two and one -half years;.

M.G.L.A. 265 § 22:-- Rape, generally ; weapons ; punishment ; eligibility for furlough, education, training or employment programs. (b) Whoever has sexual intercourse or unnatural sexual intercourse with a person and compels such person to submit by force {Plying with alcohol to the point of incapacitation and defenseless impairment} and against his will, or compels such person to submit by threat of bodily injury, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more then twenty years; and whoever commits a second or subsequent such offence shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term or years.

THE PSYCHIATRIST

The Texas Supreme Court recently ruled Psychiatrist Parker Dietz "knowingly provided false testimony" in the Yates case in Texas, inventing evidence that he was a consultant of a episode of "Law & Order" in which a mother drowned her children and was found NOT GUILTY of Murder by reason of MENTAL ILLNESS.

No such episode was ever created, aired, and Dietz's testimony was intentional perjury-- He was rebuked and admonished by the creators of "Law & Order"--

Dietz threatened to provide false testimony in Shelley's case because Shelley refused to speak to him--This is evidenced in transcripts to Shelley's pre-trial hearings--at the time looked upon as "JUST " an allegation by a defendant.

Dietz's report to the court that Bobby Shelley was "competent to stand trial", was accepted in haste in order to allow the Commonwealth to push an incompetent defendant to trial. They did this, despite a four month earlier ruling by the court of Incompetence to Stand Trial, ignored without the presence of a further report on Competency by the psychiatrist Dr. Leonard Freidberg who found Shelley incompetent, which caused the court to order a six month commitment to the Bridgewater State Hospital.

Robert Shelley had refused to speak to Dr. Dietz; Dr. Dietz's report with a finding of competency was a complete fabrication made without ever having any more than a discussion in which the patient refused to SPEAK to this psychiatrist.  

There is no doubt that evidence was planted, false reports by lead detective were sent to the doctors trying to legitimately EVALUATE this case, Police officials Knew the identities of both some of Dubbels' accomplices & Other victims in this case. Police officers perjured themselves on the stand, under oath, and withheld said information.
