Blacks Law Dictionary
Protective Custody: The governments confinement of a person for that persons own security or well-being, such as a witness whose safety is in jeopardy.
Staurset, "Plead Guilty. If you go back to the army, you will probably be killed.
I did not tell my wife or attorney Staurset details of my parachute failure or the hot load of Morphine; however it appears Staurset knew and he knew I would believe my life was still in danger (see details below).
September - December 1981:
September 1981 _ An intelligence officer contacted me and I was informed six Rangers and a Warrant Officer had been murdered in a mole operation He informed me I was being reassigned to the Ranger unit to replace murdered medical platoon sergeant.
November 1981 _ Individual in forest pattern BDU with SFC chevrons stood in the doorway of my office. Stared me down, said nothing and departed.
A few weeks later he returned to my office wearing Dress Greens with Major's Oak Leaves on his shoulders. Stared me down, said nothing and departed.
December 2, 1981 _ Command (senior personnel) night parachute jump. Stood up to hook up. The Major (Special Forces) punched me in my head and personally hooked up my static line.
Parachute failed. Stiff breeze under my chin, no forward speed. Lowered my rucksack, assumed landing position. I came down with my right foot impacting my rucksack, knocked over on my back. Right leg broken 180-degree roll-over, heel up, toes facing the ground, fractured right hip, spine and neck injuries, three hernias, two black eyes, bleeding from my right ear.
September 1997: DIA officer told me the broken parachutes issued to me were imported from Fort Bragg to Fort Lewis by the Special Forces officer.
Another unit operating in the area, using night vision, told me I came out of the sky with the glide path of a brick.
Madigan General Hospital:
Orthopedic Surgeon, Captain Casio wheeled my gurney to the orthopedic clinic (no witnesses there). Without anesthesia he twisted, pulled my leg and manipulated broken bones into basic place. He told me he had to gauge my reaction to pain. Administered 1/4 grain of Morphine and wheeled me to surgical ward.
I woke up in pain. The nurse checked my chart and remarked it had been four hours since my last dose of Morphine. She administered an injection of Demerol.
I pointed out my IV had backed up with blood in the tube. She checked my chart, remarking IV was not supposed to be turned off. She restarted my IV.
I watched the clear fluid push the blood out of the tube. I felt a surge, rush, vision gray, vision black. I died. From across the ward, I watched the crash team pull me back.
Someone loaded my IV tube with hot dose of Morphine. Probably Captain Casio.
When I was released from the hospital I refused to terminate my Ranger assignment. Slow physical recovery was the excuse Ranger commander used to have me reassigned to another unit.

He answered on the first ring.
Staurset, "Shut the fuck up and put the detective on the phone!"
Staurset knew I was going to be arrested.
Ten years after my arrest Staurset (foreign-born intelligence officer) admitted he participated in framing me.
Staurset admitted he accepted three bribes from State of Washington not to properly represent me and not sue the state.
Repeating: December 1983 _ Attorney Staurset, The judge and prosecutor know you were framed by the army. If you go back to the army, you will probably be killed. Plead guilty for six months of protective custody. In six months, you will be discharged from the army free to get on with your life.

Viafore, City Council & Fircrest Police Sanctioned Crimes - Illegal Wiretaps
January 1997 - 2026:
Fircrest City Council & Police Department sanctioned and covered-up civil rights and felony crimes in efforts to force me to leave Fircrest.
Aggressive neighbors threw rocks, timber, and steel rods at windows and on top of house to start dogs barking, and phoned Viafore with Humane Society arriving to harass me.
Steel spikes were tossed onto to the front lawn so I would injure myself mowing the lawn.
Neighbors repeatedly knocked down the mailbox.
Neighbors kicked the garage door (leaving their footprints) to set dogs barking, and phoned Viafore with Humane Society arriving to harass me.
Neighbors repeatedly tore down No Trespassing signs.
Neighbors opened gate at night so dogs would get out. We found three of our dogs two blocks away.
Neighbor Kenneth Walls poisoned three of my dogs.
Neighbor Kenneth Walls threw a poisoned rat into the backyard (photo).
Neighbor Kenneth Walls threw a hand full of poison mushroon into the back yard (photo).
Neighbors pulled saplings out of the ground by their roots and mowed-down flower beds.
Someone used a commercial highway grade pressure washer to remove topsoil from front lawn.
Neighbors and Viafore's thugs defaced and tore down information signs.
Neighbors would "telegraph" a pending property destruction raid by going to the end of their driveways.
Karen Lawson and I were accosted on the street in front of our residence and threatened with physical harm and death threats (1998-99 & 2003).
Regardless of physical evidence of property destruction, videos of crimes in progress, tape recorded confrontations with aggressive neighbors police always said "Dan it never happened.
"Paradise Parkway is heavily populated with City Hall employees and "friends" of City Hall. Police Department wired five lines on my street into my residence phone.
Events in 2011 and 2017 (police burglary) indicate wiretaps were in place "prior" to 2011 and 2017 (possibly through February 2025 when phone was disconnected).
Tacoma News Tribune published a whistle blower article ...
"Viafore has his tentacles throughout the entire police department."
Karen was forced under fraud and duress of David M. Viafore and city council to give up three of her Dogs under fraudulent variance in belief I would go with the Dogs.
There was no way I was going to leave Karen. She was terrified of aggressive neighbor Kenneth Walls.

Blacks Law Dictionary:
CONSPIRACY: 1997-2026 _ Status - Active.
A combination or confederacy between two or more persons formed for the purpose of committing, by their efforts, some unlawful or criminal act, or some act which is lawful in itself, but becomes unlawful when done by the concerted action of the conspirators, or for the purpose of using criminal or unlawful means to the commission of an act not in itself unlawful.
A person is guilty of conspiracy with another person or persons to commit a crime if with the purpose of promoting or facilitating its commission he: agrees with such other person or persons that they or one or more of them will engage in conduct which constitutes such crime or an attempt or solicitation to commit such crime; or agrees to aid such other person or persons in the planning or commission of such crime or of an attempt or solicitation to commit such crime.
A conspiracy may be a continuing one [1997-2025 Status Active]; actors may drop out, and others drop in; details of the operation may change from time to time; the members need not know each other or the part played by others; a member need not know all details of the plan or operations; he must, however, know the purpose of the conspiracy and agree to become a party to a plan to effectuate that purpose.
COLOR OF LAW:
The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right. After Viafores' illegal backdoor sex offender registration Washington State sealed my file and vacated my United States Constitutional right to be represented by an attorney.
BRIBE
Any valuable thing given or promised, or any preferment, advantage, privilege, or emolument, given or promised corruptly and against the law, as an inducement to any person acting in an official or legal capacity.
BRIBERY
In criminal law. The receiving or offering any undue reward by or to any person whomsoever, whose ordinary profession or business relates to the administration of public justice, in order to influence.
FRAME-UP
The term given to a plot intended to incriminate an innocent person in a crime.
CIVIL RIGHTS _ CIVIL RIGHTS DENIED
These are the rights that are granted to every citizen of the United States by the constitution and all its amendments. Equal protection is guaranteed to everyone regardless of race, color and creed.
COLOR OF LAW
The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right.
LIBEL
Defamatory statements published through any manner or media. If intended to simply bring contempt, disrespect, hatred, or ridicule to a person or entity it is likely a civil breach of law. However, if it causes mayhem or breach of peace, it can be a criminal breach of law. Yet, again, if the statement is newsworthy, even if defamatory, proof of benefit to the public is required to avoid criminal complaint.
SLANDER

UNFAIR HEARING
A court hearing that is not carried out properly and according to the processes of the law.
See due process of law.
DUE PROCESS OF LAW
Law in its regular course of administration through courts of justice. Due process of law in each particular case means such an exercise of the powers of the government as the settled maxims of law permit and sanction, and under such safeguards for the protection of individual rights as those maxims prescribe for the class of cases to which the one in question belongs.
Whatever difficulty may be experienced in giving to those terms a definition which will embrace every permissible exertion of power affecting private rights, and exclude such as is forbidden, there can be no doubt of their meaning when applied to judicial proceedings.
They then mean a course of legal proceedings according to those rules and principles which have been established in our systems of jurisprudence for the enforcement and protection of private rights.
To give such proceedings any validity, there must be a tribunal competent by its constitution.
MISCONDUCT
Any unlawful conduct on the part of a person concerned in the administration of justice which is prejudicial to the rights of parties or to the right determination of the cause; as "misconduct of jurors, misconduct of an arbitrator.
The term is also used to express a dereliction from duty, injurious to another, on the part of one employed in a professional capacity, as an attorney at law, or a public officer.
LEGAL DUTY

UNLAWFUL CONSPIRACY
A criminal offense where 2 or more people plan and act out an illegal act. See conspiracy.
