Fair Trial for matthew
When the Government fears the People you have Peace, and when the people fear the Government you have Tyranny.
When a corrupt local government in Centerville, Tennessee illegally arrests a man, denies him bail, and accuses his mother of practicing law without a license for exposing the crimes of her local government, it is time for WE THE PEOPLE to stop the real criminals. No one is safe from these tyrants if We the People do not stop them. While our care for Matthew Amick initially inspired this page, we have come to realize this page is about the rights of all Tennesseans and the tyrants that want to take them away. We can stop this together like our founding fathers did when the British got drunk on power.​​
HISTORY
Matthew Amick did some unwise things in his life like many of us do. He had a tumultuous relationship with his wife, Rebecca, with plenty of arguments. In 2017 she made allegations that led to legal action and later recanted them, citing extended family pressure as the reason for her actions. Such lies made people take sides. Eventually others conspired, ran with lies and half-truths to steamroll Matthew into a 47 year sentence based on an event where no physical injury occurred. Skipping all lawful due process and constitutional protections, a group of disgruntled people and corrupt public servants put their hostility and bias above the Constitution. Now a man sits in prison, sentenced to almost half a century without lawful due process because hatred and ignorance were embraced over law. He is still being unlawfully silenced.
​​​
This is the bizarre unlawful story of one man in a small American town, who got on the wrong side of a small seditious group that conspired to play jury, judge and executioner outside of the Constitution.
​
Our founding fathers designed a legal system where the Constitution prevailed over petty town squabbles and agendas so as to be immune to the wanton stealing of a man's freedom. The founders created an effective system where checks and balances assured fair trials and due process. Nonetheless, when our society fails to protect these rights, tyranny can descend upon.... any man... in any town... at any time.
​​
Below are just a few of the perverse and egregious wrongs suffered by Matthew Amick at the hands of his own paid attorneys and the Centerville Court denying him due process of law at every turn. ​​​​​​​​
Elements of this Case
A labor of Love results in unlawful charges of
"practicing law" for Matthew's mother.
When asking for public records becomes a crime.
Matthew's mother realized SOMETHING IS VERY BROKEN and started reading the State and Federal Constitutions during the tragic fate of her son. She became alarmed at the peril we each face at the hands of lawless government.
She started to realize Matthew was denied so many rights that would have afforded him a fair and impartial hearing, including the right to an impartial body of grand jurors, the right to be secure in his person, the right to know the nature and cause of the charges against him, the right to bail, the right to effective conflict-free counsel, the right to produce witnesses and evidence in his favor, the right to a speedy trial. Plainly stated, the right to DUE PROCESS, all of which are for the protection of the Life, Liberty and Property of the People. She went to the court to request transcripts that would expose the crimes of the Centerville court and like foxes guarding the henhouse, they denied her access to public court records and charged her with practicing law without a license.
​​​​
Denying Bail for Non-Capital Allegations is
TREASON
When Centerville, Tennessee Courts creatively make excuses to deny bail.
When Matthew was arrested he was informed by the arresting officer that there would be no bail for him.
Tennessee State Constitution Art 1 Section 15. - That all prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for capital offense.
There is no provision given for “public safety threat” which is an opinion the arresting officer pushed. Furthermore, a bond is not determined until a preliminary hearing, (which Matthew was denied) and can only be denied if someone is charged with murder, so it is an impossibility of criminal procedure. More appropriately put, it is a treason against the State Constitution and the People of the State of Tennessee when a Banana Republic court has an unlawful agenda.
"The liberties of a people, never were, nor ever will be, SECURE, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
~ Patrick Henrey​​​​​​
The TRUTH Is:
Your own Counsel is only commited to the court.
NO PROSECUTOR NEEDED!!!
​"His [the attorney’s] first duty is to the courts and the public, not to the client and whenever the duties to his client conflict with those he owes as an officer of the court in the administration of justice, the former must yield to the latter." 7 C.J.S Section 4
"It should be understood that the job of the Attorney is to protect his clients rights, not to prove his clients innocence.
Protect his clients rights? What does this mean when translated? It means that if the attorney has done his job and protected your rights during the proceedings, then once you are convicted, there are no issues on which to appeal and your conviction stands. If you think this is a joke, take into consideration that attorneys, on a nation wide average in criminal proceedings, win only six cases in a hundred. That means that prosecutors win 94 cases in a hundred". ~ Congressman Lous T. McFadden
After extensive praise of the prosecutor, Matthew's trial counsel's opening statements. . . “I’m not going to belabor a lot of the proof” and “the facts of this case are largely going to be without dispute”​​​​​​​
Sending your Child
to his room is now considered a Kidnapping!!!
State says you have no right to your offspring
On the day of the events in question, Matthew and his ex-wife got into an argument. Matthew, not wanting his child exposed, told him to go to his room. His son complied and the argument continued for about 10 minutes. Matthew shot his ex-wife's cell phone, which he readily admits and regrets. (the cell phone is the only known casualty)​
​
The State of Tennessee, in all its legal craft, decided to charge Matthew with Especially Aggravated Kidnapping even calling it a "hostage situation" as if an imaginary "release" were negotiated.
​
The obvious problem is PARENTAL RIGHTS. A parent cannot be charged with such a crime, without having previously lost some parental right. Except in Centerville, Tennessee.
This charge is the bulk of Matthew's sentence time.​​​​​
​
Tortured in Jail
denied TBI Medications
Jailers Practice Medicine without a license overriding doctors orders.
Jailors take weeks to figure out they need to replace Matthew's Rx medications that are prescribed for DAILY USE due to a traumatic brain injury. Moving at the great speed of government they manage to get him back on his regular prescription weeks after arrest but not before binding court appearances without the assistance of counsel, resulting in cruel and unusual punishment.
You need a
GOOD attorney
Yet the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Warren Burger, had this to say in a speech to the American Bar Association in Las Vegas, Nevada:
"Ninety percent of the trial attorneys in the United States are incompetent."
Now, if 90% of the trial attorneys are incompetent, how are you going to pick a good attorney to represent you? It looks to me as though the chances are 9 out of 10 that your going to pick an incompetent attorney.
​
​
Police Forget Miranda Rights and Fabricate False Evidence
When a criminal cop fabricates a Miranda Reading in Jail a week after incarceration.
During Matthew's arrest, no Miranda Warning was read to him. A week later officer Carroll, the arresting officer visits Matthew in jail with his camera and applies for a job in Hollywood by reenacting his Miranda Readings for his bodycam.
​
Matthew has been denied bodycam footage that would show officers mischaracterizations.
​
​
Three year wait for a
Speedy Trial
When the court fails basic arithmetic
and fails to provide a speedy trial.
Trials for felonies shall commence within 180 days of indictments. Centerville courts have arithmetic challenges breaking the intentions of T.C.A. § 40-38-105.
​
Arrested on August 8, 2019, approximately 1085 days later, ironically on his birthday, Matthew begins his mock trial July 28, 2022.
​
As of April 2025, Matthew has an Open Motion for New Trial before the Centerville, Tennessee Court.
Ineffective Counsel
Disappearing Evidence
Defense Counsel aids Prosecution
Attorney #1 - Imagine being in jail trying to fire your attorney for TWO WHOLE YEARS! He refuses to communicate with you or your family. A letter to the judge falls on deaf ears. He never even bothers to officially enter the Court Record at any time. You have been denied counsel.
​
Attorney #2 - You hire another attorney. This one at least has personal first hand knowledge of previous acts of perjury committed by the State's witness. Matthew's ex-wife, and already has this evidence in his possession and on his cell phone. You might be SHOCKED that he doesn't use it for your defense. Then you discover after trial that he actually expunged the record without your knowledge or consent along with the same prosecutor and judge.
​
This attorney had previously represented the ex-wife when she was charged with domestic assault of Matthew.
​​
Attorney #3 - Failed in his duty to safeguard the administration of justice by reporting the utter failures of #1 and #2.
​
Attorney #4 - has been appointed by the judge. She is following the same pattern of non-communication and court protection.
​
​
​​​​​​​​​
Judge, Prosecutor and Defense Counsel work together
Unknown and unauthorized by Matthew, the Judge, Prosecutor and Defense Counsel all collude to expunge a charge from 2017. Ordinarily people want to have expungements to remove a criminal record.
When the case contained evidence of a prior act of perjury and false allegations committed by the State's star witness AND that same prior perjury is NEVER disclosed in the current court case, that's a problem!!
​
In the landmark case Brady v. Maryland (1963), the US Supreme Court ruled that the prosecution's suppression of evidence favorable to the accused, which is material to either guilt or punishment, violates the defendant's due process rights.

VIEW THEIR SIGNATURES YOURSELF:
It is Matthew's great hope that even those who would call themselves his enemy would support his right to a fair and impartial hearing. He would do no less for them.
