What is it that the Justices of Massachusetts don't understand?
"The defendant's submissions clearly and unequivocally show that at no time had he been given any opportunity for a hearing in court with the presentation of witnesses and a fair arbiter to determine the truth of the government's withholding of exculpatory evidence."
Included here is the letter from Jimmy's Attorney that once again speaks to the evidence that was uncovered AFTER his trial! Also included is Justice Zobel's ridiculous answer and denial of James Rodwell's constitutional rights, as well as the decision summary document published by the SJC. Again, what is it that they don't understand - James Rodwell would have presented the evidence IF HE KNEW IT EXISTED! Now that he does know, he's not being allowed to present it! What is it they don't understand about that?

IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE (see p.695) THAT THE JURY NEVER HEARD THE ACTUAL CRIMINAL RECORD OF DAVID NAGLE (see NAGLE'S CRIMINAL RECORD), AND THAT THE PROSECUTOR WITHHELD THIS EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE FROM JAMES RODWELL.

Judge Zobel and the rest of the Justices should take a look at this case, Jackson v Marshall   At the trial, the evidence was hidden from James Rodwell. Once it was uncovered - AFTER THE TRIAL - he was never allowed to present it!

James Rodwell has been confined to a jail cell for 27 years now, for a crime
HE DID NOT COMMIT! A CRIME HE HAS PROVEN HE DID NOT COMMIT!!

As in our first website for James Rodwell, you will see how the "system" convicted James by using the testimony of a "paid" informant; who in turn used James Rodwell to play what he refers to as a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. You will also see the evidence that the State of Massachusetts has chosen to blatantly ignore.

Click here to read the letter from David Nagle ADMITTING he made a "deal", along with the letter from Middlesex DA's office, Sr. Appellate Counsel Marguerite T. Grant, acknowledging the same. VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE - The fact that she forwarded the letter to the judge hearing the Post Conviction Motion and he ignored the letter shows the Judge's ignorance of exculpatory evidence withheld from James Rodwell.

Then read this "BRIEF" where at the bottom of the page where David Nagle is questioned and blatantly lies!

You will clearly see here how the so-called "case" against James Rodwell is full of holes, lies, perjury, secrets, coverup, informants, - you name it - it's in here! You will clearly see the horrifying obstruction of justice, the shameful prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, and the disgusting jury tampering.

Read a recent brief, (01-2411) Rodwell v. Pepe
Includes the "Statement of the Case", "Statement of the Issue", "Statement of the Facts",
"Post Conviction Proceedings", and "Summary of the Argument."

Directly quoted from the "Argument":
"This Court is the only “safe harbor” where the Petitioner-Appellant may secure fair exploration of crucial claims of fraud by state trial prosecutors, and in turn by federal officials who also had an ongoing, undisclosed relationship favoring the lone witnesses against the Petitioner-Appellant. At very least, the Petitioner-Appellant should be granted an evidentiary hearing concerning whether the state’s habeas counsel, in the initial habeas proceeding, duplicated the fraud committed by state trial prosecutors who utterly failed to meet their constitutional obligations of disclosure."

"The Petitioner-Appellant has never been given an opportunity to appear in any courtroom to present this evidence of insidious, intentional misconduct, including the use of perjured testimony and the suppression of exculpatory evidence, that deprived him of a fair trial, and resulted in his continuing incarceration. This Petitioner-Appellant has demonstrated the exceptional circumstances which warrant extraordinary relief under Rule 60 (b)."

Take a look at the articles listed in the SITE INDEX. You will be shocked that this happened to James Rodwell and horrified that it CAN happen to anyone! Any why? Is it because the State of Massachusetts is embarrassed to admit their mistake, ashamed to have the public know how they railroaded an innocent man!?
And, to make it even worse they are STILL covering it up and making every effort, very slowly, to keep this from going public.

We need to take a hard look at this because it's all too familiar to see such cases of injustice - it's too commonplace, too easy, for district attorneys, lawyers, judges, the FBI and the police, to misuse and abuse their authority. And take a look at this article from Lawyers Weekly where in this case the confession to an informant was ruled inadmissible!! And yet and innocent man, James Rodwell, who did NOTHING at all is in jail for life!!

In June of 1983, Associate Justice Lynch of the Supreme Judicial Court, remanded the case back to the original trial Judge, Alan Dimond, for review, consideration and appropriate action. In other words, even the judge saw reason to grant a new trial, but James Rodwell was NEVER heard. To this day he has never had a hearing!   Cover-up?  What hornets nest will this case open up here in Massachusetts?   Does the FBI and other powers that be really believe it's easier to keep James behind bars so no one finds out what really happened here!?




It is my intention to show everyone what happened with James Rodwell. I will incorporate some of the information from our original website here; I will also add some new documents and new information. As you read you will see many links within the text. Click on any one of them to view that particular subject. PLEASE NOTE that this site is being updated and will change often.

It is my opinion that James Rodwell is being deliberately kept behind bars for more than one reason, one of the biggest being that it will turn into another huge fiasco, much like what happened with the Joe Salvati case. See for yourself the startling similarities between the Salvati case and James Rodwells case.
