Erwin Lee Davis

Without question ... Erwin L. Davis is "the very best criminal defense trial attorney in Arkansas" and specifically why I retained him in August of 2010 to represent me on a totally fabricated money-laundering case by the IRS in federal court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville Divisi...on, Case No. 10-cr-50067, styled as UNITED STATES OF AMERICA vs. JAMES B. MITCHELL, ET AL. After the original indictment was filed on July 21, 2010 (Doc. 1), Attorney Davis entered as my retained counsel on August 25, 2010 (Doc. 21), a superseding indictment was filed on September 15, 2010 (Doc. 29), Attorney Davis filed his motion to withdraw on September 30, 2010 (Doc. 43), which the court granted on October 13, 2010 (Text Only Order). Unfortunately (for me) the federal prosecutors and IRS also knew Erwin Davis was "the very best federal criminal trial attorney in Arkansas" and because they literally feared me going to trial with Attorney Davis at my side as my chosen attorney (who I have no doubts would have blown holes in the feds' false charges and prevailed for me in trial) the feds also fabricated a totally false illusory conflict of interest to get Attorney Davis off my case which succeeded and with disastrous results for me due to gross ineffective assistance of counsel by my substitute attorney who replaced Attorney Davis just a month after I had retained him. For proof of this, read "the record" on case No 10-cr-50067 in the Western District of Arkansas which can be viewed on PACER (the federal court system's electronic file on civil and criminal cases). On September 24, 2010 at the superseding indictment arraignment of which the transcript is now filed (Doc. 113, pp 12-17), Attorney Davis advised the court of the falsely alleged conflict of interest referring to a letter he received from the prosecutors dated September 17, 2010 of which a copy is now filed (Doc. 174-1). For further proof of this falsely alleged conflict of interest that the feds "manufactured" in desperation to get Attorney Davis removed as my defense attorney, read my amended habeas corpus memorandum brief in support of 28 U.S.C., Section 2255 (for relief on my illegal federal conviction) filed on November 27, 2012 (Doc. 139, pp 4, 13-14) in Claim 2 for interference of counsel and also my final reply to the feds' answer filed on September 19, 2014 (Doc. 206, pp 9-16) for prosecutorial misconduct and outrageous government conduct that violated my sacred Sixth Amendment Constitutional rights.
