Denver District Attorney's Office Relationships
These following judges have had a hand in denying Abe a right to due process, a fair trial, a fair appeal, amongst many other numerous constitutional rights. They went out of their way to suspend and ignore The Constitution in it's application to Abe's facts and cases. They bent over backwards to uphold Abe's convictions while simultaneously granting relief to others with identical constitutional violations as Abes. A simple and quick review of their rulings will demonstrate this to even a lay person.

commented on systematic racism in Colorado and in the judicial system - In 2017, he was appointed to the Denver District Court bench
- Abe's three 35(c) postconviction motions were in Baumann's courtroom. He denied all three of Abe's motions and even refused to
give him a hearing to prove his claims contrary to precedent - This goes to prove the extend of systematic racism in the judicial system, you can take a man who has acknowledged and witnessed
these problems in the system, but once appointed to the bench he falls in line with the system he once rallied against.
This is the definiton of systematic racism and corruption.

Nancy Rice
- Was a Denver District Judge into the late 1990's before being appointed to the Colorado Supreme Court
- Abe's cases were pending in Denver District's court simultaneously as was Lisl Aumann
- See how Justice Rice treated Abe's case compared to Lisl's
- Justice Rice followed the law and stayed off of Lisl Aumanns case, in which the court reversed her conviction
- In Abe's case she did the exact opposite, stayed on his case and had the audacity to write the decision denying Abe relief and
at the minimum, a hearing to prove his case. - She and the court violated another law and right of Abes when the court granted to hear the case on only one issue, but the
opinion decided the 4th Amendment illegal search issue when Abe's attorney didn't argue the issue because the court
didn't agree to hear the issue - Ironically, the reason Aumann got her case reversed was to an element in the jury instruction. Abe's error was more egregious
- This same court ruled in 1988 the abolished, incorrect jury instruction that Judge Hoffman gave to Abe's jury was unconstitutional
- Therefore, Abe is serving life without the possibility of parole on a nonexistent law

- His ruling on the issue was eventually reviewed by the Colorado Supreme Court in which they reversed his decision but still
denied Abe relief - He now works under Denver District Attorney Beth McCann still denying criminal defendants their constitutional rights
- Appointed as a Denver District judge in 2000
- Prior to that, he was a Chief Deputy District Attorney with the Denver District Attorney's office in a very high position.
- He held this position during the entirety of Abe's cases
- In 2008, Abe filed a 35(c) postconviction motion. A month later, just as Egeloff had, he summarily denied
the motion and hearing to prove his claims - Again, identically to ex-Denver prosecutor turned judge Egeloff, he did not disclose his prior employment
and high ranking position within The Denver District Attorney's office - The judicial canons required Robbins recusal and at the minimum a disclosure to Abe
