Francis E. Dec. Esq. "TO ALL JUDGES!!"

Letter Summary

In a letter dated October 21, 1976, Francis E. Dec demands that state and federal judges rehear his criminal conviction and appeal. He portrays his prosecution as a fabricated, politically orchestrated case and alleges that judges, prosecutors, government officials, and others conspired to destroy his life. He attributes the alleged conspiracy to a “gangster computer god,” a recurring figure in his account.

Claims about the trial and its aftermath

Dec recounts what he says happened during his 1958 trial in Nassau County. He accuses Judge William Sullivan and the judge’s wife of misconduct in court and claims the proceedings were corrupt. Dec says the conviction left him impoverished, unemployed, isolated, and subject to ongoing attempts to silence or kill him.

Alleged 1965 escape attempt

Dec claims that, in 1965, he was secretly flown to a remote airport rather than to Poland, held in chains, and beaten. He says he was then put on a plane where nerve gas had been concealed in the seats and drinks, but escaped the alleged poisoning and returned to New York. He further alleges that his brother assaulted him afterward.

These are claims made in the letter; the subtitles do not independently verify them.

Appendix: Supreme Court appeal

In an appendix, Dec says he personally filed an appeal brief at the U.S. Supreme Court in 1961. He alleges that the chief clerk tried to tear up the brief and then warned him that powerful officials—including Attorney General Robert Kennedy—were against him. Dec says he received a special notification form to prevent the appeal from being dismissed and left as armed officers approached.

Conclusion

The letter concludes by insisting that the courts are legally obligated to rehear Dec’s case. He repeats his claim that he is an innocent target of a broad conspiracy and asks readers to pray for him.
