'Humanity
Descending - Artists for Scott' is for a young man unfairly
imprisioned in California. Scott was transferred to
San Quentin on his 18th birthday, becoming the youngest inmate in the
California prison system at that time. He has been moved now to Kern
Valley State Prison. Scott was convicted based on very flimsy
evidence. He was assigned an inexperienced Public Defender - only
prosecution forensic experts were heard and reasonable doubt was not
created by looking at the many other
possible suspects (although it appears it is difficult in California to
bring in evidence of other possible suspects to create reasonable
doubt).
We are keeping our
hopes up that an appeal
will be granted!
UPDATE:
Appellant
application was granted to file an oversized brief, Appellate
Opening Brief was filed January 16, 2008. Respondent's
brief was filed with a response from Appellate on Nov 12, 2008 .
The written brief process is now concluded.

Scott
Dyleski is an intelligent, aware, caring, and
artistic young man who had a bright future ahead of him.
The
prosecutor used what has appropriately been termed as "The HATE
Strategy" to get Dyleski convicted. Or, as one forum poster put
it...
"The
mere fact
with this new "HATE" strategy has been working
well for prosecution for well over ten years. The idea is to overwhelm
the public with information that would most likely illicit a moral
outrage against the suspect. Then proceed to make the evidence fit once
a suspect has been pinpointed or chosen. The only problem with this
strategy is the real perpetrator(s) get away with a heinious crime and
proceed to learn from their errors to go on and commit more crimes that
will generate themselves great wealth. "
Scott
Dyleski was severely demonized in the media for his Goth
look and art as soon as he was arrested. The San Francisco Chronicle
chose to put his name out immediately even though he was a juvenile AND
they posted a picture of Scott in Goth look from a party - the only
really scary or possibly scary picture they could find of Scott.
Factual errors were promoted over-and-over in the media, but possibly
the worst was that the "accused killer reportedly carved a Goth symbol
on her body." There was no carving or 'symbol', only
scratches on the victims back that could have been caused by the
struggle. However, the prosecutor proceeded
in court to try and relate
these scratches
to nearly anything that even partially or slightly resembled something
of Scott's.
.... to Scott's personal symbol , the symbol
for Pluto and an ancient star
+ =
... to a
symbol in the liner notes of a Velvet
Acid Christ CD set -
see this article. " Music
to Kill For: Prosecutors in
the Scott Dyleski trial evoke the specter of Marilyn
Manson, er, make that Velvet Acid Christ" . It appears
the leader of the band Bryan Erickson made this statement, "I am pro
animal, pro female rights, anti gun, anti war, anti murder,
left, don't believe in greed and capitalism. Wish to see a brighter
future for nature and the human race." It comes as no surprise that
this very statement could be one Scott Dyleski wrote about himself.
.... to
the 'H' in a bumper sticker that read
" I'm
for the Separation of Church and Hate " (Oh my, that's
super evil now isn't it?).
The symbol presentation in
court is just one example of the extreme drama used by the prosecution.
In opening statements, Prosecutor Hal Jewett, even said, "This is not
about DNA." He said this knowing the DNA evidence was very flimsy and
went basically uncontested by the Defense. The Defense Attorney did not
call in experts for the Defense to challenge any of the forensic
evidence and the Coroner never set a Time of Death (TOD). The TOD was
merely based on the time the victim supposedly quit using her computer
that morning - this is a truly unbelieveable way to set TOD and, in
addition, the computer forensics on the victim's computer were not only
questionable and lacking, but the forensic expert could not verify the
clock on the computer was correct. The list of such problems in this
trial is much longer than given here.
The
moral of
the
story is that Scott Dyleski did not get a fair trial.
