from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
Question presented
1. Should the unsettled issue in Heck v. Humphrey and Spencer v. Kenma^where this court has not definitively ruled that criminal defendants may use a §1983 lawsuit for evidence suppression when the accused has exhausted all state remedies, a habeas petition is not an adequate remedy, and the accused has been irreparably injured by bad faith concealment of evidence needed to show fraud and unlawful arbitrary detention? 2. Do established laws protect and prevent the indefinite suppression of public records that show fraudulent prosecutions of non-existent crimes, impeachability of all prosecution witnesses, an insufficiency of evidence to sustain any conviction and the lack of any lawful authority by non-elected, appointed judges and prosecutors to perpetrate and conceal unconstitutional processes facilitating extrinsic fraud and false imprisonment? 3. Do established Federal and International laws enforce the right to a fair, speedy trial and correct the deprivation of that rig.?
