Justice for Sale: The Corrupt Appeal Lawyer


 Unethical Choices: 

Kevin Upkins' Hiring of Kenneth Muhammad for Appeal Raises Concerns
In a case that has sent shockwaves through legal circles, Kevin Upkins, facing a life sentence, made a questionable decision by enlisting the services of Kenneth Muhammad, a lawyer with a controversial reputation. The hiring of Muhammad has drawn criticism due to his history of dishonesty, coercion, and inadequate representation. Upkins' trust in Muhammad's promises and the subsequent fallout serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of choosing legal counsel without proper scrutiny.
Kevin Upkins found himself in a dire situation, facing a life sentence with little hope of reprieve. In his desperation, he turned to Kenneth Muhammad, believing his assurances of a successful appeal. However, Muhammad's track record should have raised red flags from the start. Known for his deceitful tactics and lack of ethical conduct, Muhammad's involvement in Upkins' case only added to the complexity and uncertainty surrounding the proceedings.
One of the most troubling aspects of Muhammad's involvement is his propensity for making false promises. It appears that he coerced Upkins with assurances of a favorable outcome, exploiting his vulnerability and desperation. Such manipulation not only undermines the integrity of the legal process but also jeopardizes the client's trust and well-being.
Moreover, Muhammad's history of lying under oath further erodes any confidence in his ability to provide competent representation. A lawyer's duty to uphold the truth is sacrosanct, yet Muhammad's disregard for this fundamental principle calls into question his integrity and credibility as a legal practitioner.
Additionally, Muhammad's failure to properly represent Upkins during the appeal process highlights the consequences of inadequate counsel. Despite assurances to the contrary, Muhammad's actions fell short of providing Upkins with the robust defense he deserved. Whether due to incompetence or negligence, Upkins was left with a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, further exacerbating an already dire situation.
The repercussions of Upkins' decision to hire Muhammad extend beyond the confines of his individual case. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of due diligence when selecting legal representation. Clients must be vigilant in researching the background and reputation of prospective lawyers to avoid falling victim to unscrupulous individuals like Muhammad.
Furthermore, this case underscores the need for greater oversight and accountability within the legal profession. Instances of misconduct and ethical breaches must be met with swift and decisive action to uphold the integrity of the justice system and safeguard the rights of clients.
In conclusion, Kevin Upkins' decision to enlist the services of Kenneth Muhammad for his appeal proved to be a grave misstep, fraught with ethical and legal ramifications. Muhammad's history of dishonesty, coercion, and inadequate representation should have raised alarms, yet Upkins placed his trust in him, only to be let down. As this case demonstrates, the consequences of such choices can be severe, underscoring the importance of exercising caution and discernment when seeking legal counsel.

HCT. pg. 18-19 "Kenneth Muhammad testimony"- Upkins cross examined Mr. Muhammad on trial attorneys on the discovery violation of 9 days committed by the state in the submission of the evidence (checks) the eve of trial. My expert was subpoenaed by the state with minutes, so I had no expert at trial.

  Tomeka Upkins introduced Mr. Harris, a retired fingerprint expert by way of her job of more than 25 years. Mr. Harris contacted Muhammad once and never excepted another call from Kenneth Muhammad and 7 months later Mr. Harris dies.

TT. pg. 34-35

  Mr. Muhammad then received $1100 as a separate payment to specifically hire an expert, and all this is during the course of appeal. The appeal eventually became final while I'm expecting an expert, without the consideration of an expert.

  Kenneth Muhammad lied under oath during Upkins habeas corpus hearing about hiring an expert, yet admit that he doesn't know a phone number, a name, and that he never informed me of any kind of a report.

  Overall he failed to file ineffective assistance of counsel against Jennifer Knight and had no intentions of hitting me an expert. 14 years later today and I've yet to have the evidence examined by my own defense and I'm sure I've attempted more times in this case than many.
