Petitioner has been on appeal since 2004, Petitioner has previously sought leave to file Pro Se
with this Court. This Court has approved Petitioner's desire to file Pro Se. This was most
recently evidenced by this Court's acceptance of Petitioner' s Habeas Appeal (doc. #253). The
filing of this Habeas Appeal was suggested by the 11 th Circuit Court of Appeals after they found
appointed counsel (who was appointed by a Judge with personal, professional and financial
conflicts of interest in this case) waived some of Petitioner'S direct appeal rights (evidence shows
this was done against the very specific directions of this Petitioner). Petitioner had requested the
recusal of the judge and had requested the Court either replace counselor allow Petitioner to
proceed Pro Se on direct appeal rather than be "forced" to use counsel with serious conflict of

AFFIDAVIT
I, Scott Hintz, state the following are true to the best of my knowledge, and under the penalty of
A. On April 22, 2010 Robert Willison stated his and Mike Garone's attorney, Jerry
Froelich, was observing Good Friday and would not be available to represent them
because Mr. Froelich was observing this religious holiday. To accommodate Mr.
Froelich's observance of the religious holiday, the warrant hearing was reset to April
29, 2011. Mike Garone and Robert Willison, before and after this criminal warrant
hearing, took actions against me and others to clearly intimidate and discourage
testimony against their alleged illegal activity; Willison and Garone also
B. On April 29, 201l, various witness heard attorney Jerry Froelich state he had
discussed this case (apparently exparte as there is no record evidence of any such
conversations in this case) with Judge(s) involved with this case and he stated that I
had already been found guilty and that everything has already been set up to send me
back to jail.
C. I was told about some of Mr. Froelich's statements and came into the courtroom to
hear Mr. Froelich's statements and ensure he would not have exparte communications

with the state judge, I overheard Mr, Froelich make false statements to the state udge,
When I corrected attorney Jerry Froelich about his false statements, and informed Mr.
Froelich that the allegations his clients have made against me are false and would still
have to be determined by trial, Mr, Froelich told me he has already talked to Judge
Cooper and that Judge Cooper had already determined I would "go back to jail" at my
hearing before Judge Cooper and that the only thing left to do was to determine only a
sentence, Others were present to overhear Mr. Froelich's statements to me, to his
D. Mr. Jerry Froelich became agitated when I corrected him about his clearly false
statements and began raising his voice so much so that a court deputy came over to
him. He asked the warrant hearings be held as far in the future as possible. I
requested the hearing be held immediately because Mr, Froelich, both his clients, my
witnesses and evidence, and I were all present for the hearing. The state judge
compromised and reset the warrant hearing for a second time to give Mr, Froelich
E. Immediately after Jerry Froelich's April 29, 2011 eourt outbursts, he was questioned
by a local CBS reporter. Mr. Froelich's questionable behavior and apparent anger
issues arc also visible in CBS Atlanta's April 29, 2011 news story entitled, "Attorney
Gets Physical Trying To Stop Tough Questions." The video is at the following

F. Jerry Froelich showed a similar, but not as extreme, outburst when I intended to call
him as a witness for his personal a2Jw~ns and statements during the April 13, 2011

hearing of this case, His outbursts can be heard in the background of the court
G. On April 29, 2011, I was informed by USPO Lisa Moore that Jerry Froelich had just
contacted her. The statements he made were false statements and I informed Ms.
Moore that Mr. Froelich was lying and was acting very questionably.
H. On April 29, 2011, I was specifically informed Mr, Froelich's questionable actions
and his false statements to United States Govemement employees were made very
specifically to interfere with the civil RICO claims I have brought against his clients.
I state the above statements are true to the best of my knowledge this 30th day of April 2011.
