Re: Cause No: H-20-CR-522

4-R0~CR OSAMK Nathan Ochsner, Clerk of Court
Dear Honorable JUDGE VANESSA GILMORE

_ My name is Lee Price and | am writing you regarding a supplemental statement ‘of facts \ you

“wrote concerning two motions that | filed one was a compassionate release and one was a motion to
reopen detention hearing. (Instruments 42 & 43) The issue at hand is that it was allege that | violated
. ‘bond:conditions and | was asking the court to release me back on bond due to the fact when | was .
‘initially: release | was not given any bond conditions. You made some findings in your statement of facts
-dated-02/01/2021{instrument 61). You stated on August 26" 2020 a bond hearing was held where
magistrate Judge Sam Sheldon informed me of my bond conditions which | signed in writing and the
following day on August 27" 2020 | was released. You also stated “defendant alleges that he was not
handed a copy of his bond conditions prior to release and on that basis, he should be release now”. This
is why | feel | should be release like you stated.

There is a major problem with the courts finding of facts. There never was a bond hearing held on
August 26" 2020, | could see how this could be confusing to the court because the bond documents
show August 26" 2020 on them{ | have no idea why this is) my only guess is that this is the day my
Grandmother sign for a $50,000 surety, but | was incarcerated at Joe Corley during this time and did not
‘have any hearings until August 27" Via a Zoom conference which is the same day | was release, this is
proof that | did not sign nor was it even possible for me to sign any conditions on August 26" which was
allege by the government and the court. To my knowledge the only way to sign documents via Zoom
conference would be electronically which was not the case in-this matter. The signature on the
- document is not electronic and my driver’s license is attach which | did not even have on nmy possession
at the time of my arrest.

}

or August 28" 2020 | went to the United States Court House and this is where | was told to sign my
bond‘documents, this is also the same day a petition was filed claiming | violated my bond conditions.
The lady working at the court house showed me where to sign and ask for my Driver’s License and made
-a copy; this is how my driver’s license got attach to the bond documents (Instrument 20). There would
have been no way my driver’s license could have been attach to any bond documents due to the fact |
was incarcerated at Joe Corley until the evening of August 27* 2020 when | was release from custody.

. Even.then on August 28" | ask the lady working at the court if she had a copy of my bond conditions and
she claim she did not. While still at the US Court House | text my attorney at the time James Kennedy
and ask him “| am at the court house and they are saying they do not have a copy of my conditions Do
you have a copy of my bond conditions? It’s Like they are trying to get me to fail before | start.” Mr.
Kennedy Replied that he did not but he would try to get me a copy. | have included a copy of this text
message.

I feel like the facts were not articulated correctly and this is the reason | am explaining the facts to the
court. | hope | haven’t cross any boundaries or offended the court. Everything | have said should be
easily verifiable. | pray to be released back on bond with conditions so | may properly prepare my -

defense for trial. | have a new born that is now 9 months old, and | am eager to get b ima .
family. Thank you for your time your KONOR. ; _

iv Lee Price Ii!
