On November 6, 1996, my husband Jesse Davis was arrested for absconding. They gave him
one year on this violation.
March 28, 1997 he went out to the big yard at Old Folsom. On his way out, he was
pulled aside by a C/O, Terry White. After they searched him, he was let go. After doing
some laps with his friends, the same C/O pulled him again. After they searched him again,
Terry White told him that they would not write him up for trafficking, but for possession.
My husband was very confused. A small bindle was suddenly in his tobacco chew can.
On this bindle in Big Red Ink was the name "Jesse." The write up was referred to the Sacrament D.A.
Office and they picked it up, filing a third Strike on him.
During the preliminary trial it came out that there was .03 of speed in this bindle.
My husband is not a drug user. Has not been for two years, and if he were, speed
defiantly would not be his choice?
Three weeks before this happened, I gave birth to our daughter. He only had seven
months to go until he came home. Not to mention Nobody is dumb enough to walk
around with their name on a bindle, especially in prison! .
The C/O had told him after finding this that he pulled him over because he had looked "Suspicious"
the day before. Jesse had not been out for days.
During the prelim, Terry White, did not remember half of what happened.
March 23, 1998
Between 1984 and 1987 they arrested me on a number of things. Everything went before a
Judge named Richard Crouter. I am not sure exactly what all he has sentenced me on,
but I know he has passed judgement on me.
In January of 1992 Richard Crouter represented me as a state appointed Lawyer
on an Armed Robbery and an Attempted Burglary. Those are the two strikes the D.A. is using
against me now.
I confessed to those charges before I ever went to court to keep a friend out of jail.
They were going to arrest a crime partner so I gave the Investigator a statement.
They never told me "on record" that this is a 3-strikes case. The D.A. sent a
fax to the prison when they filed the charges that had 3-strikes written on it, but as far
as court goes they said it never.
