Judge Accused of Violating Constitution Judge Paul W. LaPrade was accused of violating his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and of Arizona by Robert J. Stewart, and of probably conspiring with the Attorney Generals office in an attempt to make an example of Stewart which would intimidate other taxpayers who were insisting on their constitutional rights, in a hearing on Post-trimotions in Maricopa Superior Court on October 3. "The people of this country are sick and tired of judges claiming that juries have to uphold the Judges perversions of the law, and that the Judge in al . Arizona to the State Tax and LaPrade had denied Stewart a requested jury trial, found him guilty and imposed a $300 fine. LaPrade claimed that Stewart was not entitled to a jury trial for a misdemeanor. Stewart,- in a motion requiring the Judge to honor his oath to uphold the constitution, claimed that he had been "unlawfully convicted without a jury of asserting his 4th, 5th, 9th, 13th and. 14th Amendment rights under the Constitution of the United States, and of asserting his rights under the Arizona Declaration of Rights, Sections Commission, - turn has to uphold the 1,2, 3,4,8, 10,11,12,13,23, perversions of judges higher than he, and that the top judges apparently have to uphold Satan himself," argued Stewart in one of his motions. Stewart charged LaPrade with violating the Constitutional right to a jury in all - criminal 24, 32 and 33 and respectfully moves the court to be faithful and true to the courts oath to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and of Arizona, and in the alternative, to have the decency, in the public interest, of tendering his prosecutions" as guaranteed-bthe Sixth Amendment, extended by the Fourteenth Amendment to the States, as part of due process. Stewart has refused to submit the records of Bobs resignation. Stewart announced that he would appeal the $300 fine.
