Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative

Dear Attorney Bryan Stevenson, I also wrote to Attorney Steven Bright to help my son, please

Thank you,

PEASE I need your help in freeing my son from this injustice caused by prosecutor misconduct, Prosecutor at the time and now a Disbarred Judge Lilliana Silebi.

JUST A QUICK NOTE, FURTHER EXPLAINED BELOW:
Can you please contact Barry Lorenzo Carey, Jr. (#161393D), he is located at South Woods State Prison, 215 S. Burlington Rd, Bridgeton, NJ 08302. Please, if possible you can video him or call, at your earliest convenience, if you can help us, when you have the time, thank you.

I am Barry Lorenzo Carey, Jr, mother I am a retired military person.

We are contacting you because, Barry is innocent.

There is a new ruling that was made into law by the New Jersey Supreme Court, called Jury tampering, in the case State vs Edwin Andujur, 2021, (A-6-20) (084167), argued March 30, 2021, decided July 13, 2021, Rabner C. J. writing for a unanimous Court.

Barry's PCR in this case was determined not eligible, because the Supreme Court was not applying this law to the past cases, leaving Barry without any recourse again.

The jury selection was prejudice of the "one black" juror (Juror #3), who was a black woman. Barry's 6 amendment right was violated by singling out and conducting a background check on the only person of color who happen to be the chosen to sit on the jury panel. The investigation took place overnight during the jury selection process, because Prosecutor Silebi used the Bergen County Police, Alan Lustman to do a background check on her, and only on her. Due largely to the unjust investigation into the person of color, Barry an African American ended up with a all white jury. The alleged victim was Caucasian American. Everything can be verified reference the jury selection process it is all in the court transcripts.

The alleged victim, Margaret Shaw, lied on the stand that her boyfriend was black convincing the jury that Barry was guilty. After Barry was convicted, we hired an investigator, before the sentencing, and he was able to obtain information that the alleged victim's boyfriend was always white. So many things occurred that were out right wrong and should be illegal, in my son's case

In addition, the prosecutor at that time in 2006, was Prosecutor Lillianna Selebi and she eventually made Judge. She utilized some of those same criminal tactics, (messing with Juror's using the Bergen County Police to fabricate lies, causing potentially innocent individuals to be put away for most of their lives. She eventually became disbarred and lost her pension and out right fired from the bench, as a Judge. Some of the information on the Judge is attached.

Barry is in desperate need of assistance in getting his case reviewed and dismissed with prejudice.

___________________________________________________________________________-------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ _
I am writing you because Barry is my eldest child and he was raised to be a decent law-abiding citizen. This particular case was twisted into making my son look like a predator and a raging criminal.

I am the many first in my family. The first to go to college; the first to get a Bachelor degree and the first to get two Masters degrees as well as the first to get a Ph.D. I come from a first-generation slave family migrating from Greenville South Carolina. My family was mainly maids or cleaning ladies to include Shofar's. The one exception is my cousin Jesse Jackson, Director of Rainbow/Push, Civil Rights Advocate. My great grandmother Lilly Bell Rosemond, moved to D.C. after the death of my great grand-father, Claude Rosemond Sr., her husband. After arriving in Washington, D.C. we lived in a one-bedroom apartment with 11-relatives, 1904 West Virginia Avenue, Washington, DC. I remember going to the store on the corner, owned by a Jewish family to get bread and milk on time, nickel candy bars and twenty-five cent for a pack for cigarettes. We struggled just to survive in the Washington, DC area that was very different than South Carolina prices. My uncle went in the Navy and that helped my great grandmother tremendously, that was her son, Uncle Claude Rosemond. My mother landed a job at Department of Treasury, on a Friday 13th, what a Blessed event for our entire family’s survival.

I was a single teenaged mom. I dropped out of High School when I got pregnant, later went to night school and got my High School Diploma from Spingarn Stay High School. I struggled a great deal but always remember my mom saying “God Bless the Child that’s Got Its Own! I believe that drove me to keep pushing through-out my life. We never were prejudice; I went to school with other cultures/ethnicities and had good friends of all races growing up. I landed a job at the Labor Department and wanted to get extra experience, to enhance my career and with the Vietnam War ending I wanted to serve my country, and give my career a boast, so I joined the U.S. Army in 1979.

I went to Officer Candidate School and eventually retired after 36-years with a robust career, working for some of the best American Soldier/Civilians ever. We moved to various countries and seen the world. Volunteering and serving twice in Afghanistan and worked with the Japanese Military in Japan. During all of that I managed to keep my son Barry in school to get his High School Diploma, by God’s Grace. I noticed Barry had difficulty in High School and I put him in Emerson College Prep High School, located in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. where he graduated. The Washington Post, Walt Harrington, did an article on my son and his friend’s, their survival, all with a single mom's being raised in the city and their chances of ever getting out of the Ghetto. The article was called “Hoops” by Walt Harrington. After Barry graduated, he went to Saint Augustine College in Raleigh Durham, NC. I eventually moved to Virginia and my son Barry, got a Government job working at Fort Belvoir, after one year in college, he also lived in Virginia. He had some run ins with drugs I did a few trips to seeing a probation officer and taking him for drug testing. We were not perfect but working for a better life outside of my families past struggling to get out of South Carolina, keeping me praying and pushing to survive.

I have two sons and while stationed on U.S. Army military duty, in Fort Leavenworth Kansas. Offering our younger son a change at a better life, my youngest son was in college while living in Virginia, and transferred to Kansas, where he continued at the same college affiliate. He had some run ins with drugs I did a few trips to seeing a probation officer and taking him for drug testing as well, again we were not perfect. He moved his two daughters and their mom moved up from Virginia to Kansas with him. One day Roy, was viciously murdered in Kansas 2011, to this day no one has been arrested. While I was stationed in Kansas, we invited my son and his family to live with us only to leave in a casket. A gut-wrenching experience that left me numb. I volunteered to Afghanistan just to grieve privately and pray I will survive. My son Roy left behind four daughters and a son (the son we still do not know who he is). My husband and I began to take full responsibility for helping the girls mother, the son Roy had, has never been located, because I never had a serious conversation with Roy before he died about his son, we do not know the mothers name or the child’s name, only, she was from Dumfries Virginia.

Barry was in Jail since around 2004 based on this conviction, we never seen this coming. My heart was already broken, dealing with Barry’s devastation and during the fight to free Barry, my youngest son's death Roy. Although, my first child who I had so many aspirations for him to succeed, not realizing black women struggles were very different for black men, especially my two son’s I got to see that first hand. Well, I had to succeed and yet another twist in life that made me look back at my family’s struggle out of Greenville, SC therefore pushing me to buckle down and help Barry with the best legal team to fight the Bergen County Police. Brutality schemed to ruin Barry's life and through away the key, in one of the riches counties in the country, Bergen County Court System. I knew Barry would not commit this heinous crime. I hired Barry a Civil Rights Lawyer online because we were stationed in the U.S. Military where the U.S. Army had transferred me to Germany during this heart-breaking time. I was devastated, I originally called to hire Mr. Brown who I later found out he was retired and he referred me to his son. His son Mr. Raymond M. Brown, Jr. Esq., who runs a Due Process TV show in the New Jersey/New York area, would not take the case because, as I recall, he stated, I could not afford him and he did not have the time, he therefore, referred me to his wife Wanda Akin-Brown, Attorney. Ms. Akin appeared to be against our case from the very beginning. But I always knew Jesus, and did not worry so much about her, Wanda Akin, because I knew that Jesus can help us throughout this case.

As you can see my eldest son Barry, was entrapped in the Bergen County, Englewood, NJ. Again, one of the riches counties in the County. I believe the Bergen County police corruption, police brutality and deepening further into racism. Being a Black man, Barry was rail road into being the fall guy for The Friendship House and therefore the Prosecutor Lilian Selebi manipulated the police to help cover up this bogus case against Barry and advance her career as prosecutor into many promotions leading eventually to a Judgeship, being built off lies.
Barry's story in short, Barry was headed to Labor Ready in Englewood, NJ where a young lady Margaret Shaw, waived Barry down and got in the car with him for a eventual, consensual sexual encounter. Barry and her had a sexual relationship, then he drove her to work. It was quite early in the day light, so Barry dropped her off and asked if he could see her again. According to Barry the answer was yes, Margaret wanted to see him.

Apparently, Margaret was late regularly for her job where Barry dropped Margaret off, and this particular morning she flagged Barry down, although having sex first, she still was late for work. The supervisor wanted to fire her and then the supervisor a counselor at the place where Margaret worked, asked Margaret if she was raped. Margaret with hopes of keeping her employment, stated yes. Margaret made it clear on the stand, they only fucked.

In the trial, Margaret indicated that all her and Barry did was have fuck, and Margaret also indicated that her boyfriend was Black that is why she got in the car, again, because she thought Barry was her Boyfriend. Later in the investigation by Barry's lawyer it was stated, by Margaret that her boyfriend at that time was a white man not a black man, Prosecutor Selebi lied, and manipulated Margaret to lie and Judge Carroll did not allow this newly discovered information to be entered in the case by the defense, for the Jury, prior to sentencing. Margaret stated, that her boyfriend was black under oath, further indicting Barry before the all-white jury. The prosecutor Silebi, had Margaret come to court with a man who was assumed her boyfriend that was a black man, and he set in the court room daily, showing the appearance as her boyfriend, a black man.

BACKGROUND ON BARRY LORENZO CAREY, JR CASE:

Team for Justice in Barry Lorenzo Carey, JR. Case:

1. Below one thing you will find is a letter from the Supreme Court of New Jersey placing a firm nail in my son's case for freedom. We are military family spending 36-years in the U.S. Army, I did not raise violent criminals. Both children Black Males, my youngest son, murdered while I was on Active Duty in the U.S. Army in Kansas, Roy L. Morgan, II, never finding his assailants even with the ballistics on hand and the weapon. When I questioned the Police Department on why they have no assailants identified they told me, that the lab does not have the equipment to match the ballistics with the weapon and as new cases come in Roy’s case gets pushed back further. I experienced my eldest son imprisoned in one of the most crooked cases I ever witnessed during the trial. Fortunately, I was able to take leave from my unit in Heidelberg Germany and attend the trail in which my eldest son was wrongfully convicted.

Barry was charged with sexual assault, kidnapping, luring, he received 30-years in prison, 18-years mandatory, Barry still have 13-years remaining on this unjust sentencing only to elevate Silebi into an avenue for Judgeship based on her deceptive manipulation of the Bergen County Police Department. Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi would stop at nothing short of a conviction for her own personal gratification, building this case on lies.

Some of my son's case issues: Jury was all white NO JUSTICE; arresting Detective Lustman while working directly with Prosecutor Silebi, investigated the one juror of color therefore she was intimidated and dismissed herself NO JUSTICE; Mental Health Psychologist a graduate of Harvard University, Dr. Greenfield, was not allowed to conduct procedural questioning to prove Barry's innocence like the prosecutor’s medical doctor was able to conduct procedural questioning to further convict Barry NO JUSTICE manipulation by then Prosecutor Silebi in collaboration with Judge Carroll; Alex Silvacian created the Sexual Assault Crime Lab in Bergen County, Mr. Silvacian stated, under oath this was not a rape and as an investigator for Barry, he was not allowed to question the alleged victim. The alleged victim Margaret Shaw, stated on under oath that her and Barry "only fucked" NO JUSTICE. Additionally, Barry never signed the Miranda Act form and Barry did not sign the Search and Seizure form, after having a handprint analysis review the signature on the required official forms, the handprint analysis was prepared to go to court to clearly state the signatures appeared to be cut and pasted on the forms; the cut a paste signatures open the door for newly discovered information that never got allowed into the case, because of Prosecutor Silebi’s collaboration with Judge Carroll NO JUSTICE; lastly, the nail that stopped all future post-conviction relief (PCR) justice, one of Barry’s judges allowed Barry’s attorney to file the PCR at a later date (documented in writing). The attorney never filled the case in the time specified by the Judge, closing a door to no avail for Barry to seek freedom from these injustices NO JUSTICE; Barry is stuck with at 29-year sentence and a 18-year mandatory no parole, Silebi orchestrated these injustice events because her pattern was to manipulate the system, individuals involved in her cases that Silebi wants to sabotaged for her own personal gain not justice NO JUSTICE. Looking at her behavior with the custody case demonstrates further Silebi was never a just judge and Silebi has caused corrupt layers of injustices to plague Barry’s case because of Silebi’s pattern of manipulation lies to win her cases.

Particularly in Barry's case:
We did file a misconduct case against Judge Selebi's now patterns of fraudulent behavior, just to make a name for herself not to seek the truth, and many Civil Rights violations:

1. Utilizing the Police Detective Lustman to investigate the one African American Juryer ultimately intimidating her where the Juryer resigned.
2. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to lie on the stand that Ms. Margaret Shaw was severely handicapped when she lived on her own.
3. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to lie on the witness stand that Ms. Margaret Shaw was a victim when she got in and out of cars and therefore having consensual sex with Barry.
4. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Court not to allow the defense medical Doctor, Dr. Greenfield sufficient access to the alleged victim Ms. Shaw.
5. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to lie on the stand that Ms. Margaret Shaw was severely handicapped when she lived on her own.
6. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to have two additional individuals to lie that Barry was visiting the Friendship House to lure additional victims.
7. By no fault of Barry, the actual "Time Bar" fraud was committed by Attorney Lori Glick, she was retained and we had to wait for her to file the papers, but fraudulently she sat on the papers causing the late "Time Bar", we have all the evidence for this particular situation.

First Judge Silebi's criminal manipulation history:

Judge Silebi -- history A Superior Court judge in Passaic County has been barred from the bench after a panel said she aided a friend in a child custody dispute and lied to authorities to cover her tracks.

The state Supreme Court’s order, issued Wednesday, came three months after a three-judge panel found that Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi’s behavior violated the state's Code of Judicial Conduct and recommended her removal from office.

Silebi was the presiding judge for criminal cases in Bergen County from 2010 to 2015, before her transfer to Passaic County, where she handled civil cases.

A hearing on her removal was scheduled before the Supreme Court in early September, but she declined to offer a defense, according to the court’s order.

The court found evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Silebi misused her position to "advance the private interests of a litigant," made "false statements under oath" and "altered telephone records" to perpetuate false statements, according to the order.

A disgraced Superior Court judge in Passaic County who was barred from the bench last year will lose her state pension for aiding an intern in a child custody dispute and lying to authorities.

The state Supreme Court dismissed Liliana DeAvila-Silebi in September from her seat on the bench for violating the state's Code of Judicial Conduct. In early December, members of the New Jersey State House Commission followed with a rare vote to strip DeAvila-Silebi of her pension, the first time that has happened in at least 10 years, according to state Sen. Gerald Cardinale, a commission member.

“We had never seen a case like this before,” Cardinale said of the commission, which oversees judicial pensions.

DeAvila-Silebi came under fire in 2015 for helping Vivianne Chermont, a former judicial intern, win custody of her child for Mother's Day weekend. State investigators found that DeAvila-Silebi placed a phone call to Fort Lee police, informing them that Chermont had a court order to have her 5-year-old son on Mother's Day weekend, but the father took custody instead.

The order, however, never existed. DeAvila-Silebi also MISREPRESENTED TO POLICE THAT SHE WAS THE PRESIDING JUDGE OVER THE BERGEN COUNTY CASE, when she was actually a civil division judge in Passiac County.

The state Supreme Court found that DeAvila-Silebi misused her position to "advance the private interests of a litigant," made "false statements under oath" and "altered telephone records" to cover her tracks.

Cardinale said the state commission reviewed the Supreme Court order before voting.

“What’s striking is that she continued to provide cover stories as time went on,” he said. “There’s no respect for the law.”

Before serving in Passaic County, DeAvila-Silebi was the presiding judge for criminal cases in Bergen County from 2010 to 2015. She was nominated to the court in 2008 by Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, and nominated for tenure by Gov. Chris Christie. DEAVILA-SILEBI, OF WALDWICK, REQUESTED A TRANSFER OUT OF SUPERIOR COURT IN HACKENSACK BECAUSE OF AN UNSPECIFIED DISPUTE WITH THE FORMER COUNTY PROSECUTOR, JOHN L. MOLINELLI (DIRECTOR OF THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE).

2. Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi’s developed a pattern of fixing her cases especially in Bergen County, where Police Brutality run rapid, to get the conviction she wanted, illegally would stop at nothing short of an illegal conviction for her own personal gratification and promotion within Bergen County Court System, not for justice and she built this case on pure lies.

More Judge Silebi's criminal manipulated history:

Ethics Panel Urges NJ Judge's Removal

M Media November 9, 2017

The New Jersey Supreme Court panel handling judicial ethics matters is recommending that a Passaic County Superior Court judge be removed from the bench for improperly intervening in a child custody matter, and then being dishonest with investigators after a complaint was filed against her. The court's Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, in a presentment dated Oct. 24 but released Thursday, unanimously recommended that Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi be removed from the bench. DeAvila-Silebi has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the matter. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, in an order signed Thursday, said three judges—Appellate Division Presiding Judge Carmen Messano, Camden County Assignment Judge Deborah Katz and Monmouth County Assignment Judge Lisa Thornton—will conduct further fact-finding proceedings and make a recommendation to the court. The court will likely then hold a hearing on its own before ultimately deciding if removal is warranted. Neither DeAvila-Silebi nor her attorney, Raymond Reddin of Totowa's Reddin Masri, could immediately be reached for comment. Retired Justice Virginia Long, the ACJC chairwoman, said in the presentment that the evidence showed "clearly and convincingly" that DeAvila-Silebi misused the powers of her office, and then was "dishonest in all material respects" when testifying before the ACJC at her April hearing. For the ACJC, it was apparently DeAvila-Silebi's dishonest conduct that persuaded it to recommend removal from office. Had her misconduct been confined merely to the one-time incident regarding the custody matter, Long said, "significant pubic discipline, short of removal," would ordinarily be warranted. "Respondent's demonstrable and pervasive dishonesty during these ethics proceedings, which include a manufactured defense, signifies a complete departure from the honor and integrity demanded of every jurist and essential to the continued viability of the judicial office," Long said. "For this reason, the committee respectfully recommends that proceedings be instituted to remove Respondent from judicial office," Long said.

DeAvila-Silebi is charged with violating the judicial code of conduct by allegedly calling the police on a weekend and having a child transferred from one parent to another. At the time, DeAvila-Silebi was in the middle of transferring from Bergen County to Passaic County, and was an emergent judge on call that weekend. DeAvila-Silebi told the ACJC that she received a call on her cellphone from someone purporting to be an attorney, who read a Family Part order describing a child custody agreement and alleging that the father had violated the order by keeping the child out of school for a week and not returning him to his mother. "You can't help but be human," the judge told the ACJC, according to documents. "As a judge you have to have compassion." It turned out that the call, according to the ACJC, was from the cellphone of a woman named Vivianne Chermont, one of the judge's former unpaid interns, and involved a parenting time dispute with her ex-husband, Franklin Ferrer, though DeAvila-Silebi has claimed she didn't know the identity of the caller. Reddin said in an answer to the original complaint that DeAvila-Silebi acted as best she could under the circumstances. “Given the volume, the unexpectedness, and the ex parte nature of these emergent phone calls, it would be very unreasonable and unrealistic to expect an emergent judge, without the benefit of a court staff or even a file, to field an emergent call on a weekend and completely vet the entire situation prior to making a decision,” he said. The incident at issue occurred on May 9, 2015, according to the ACJC complaint. The caller told the judge that the child was in Fort Lee with the father and was supposed to have been transferred to the mother for the weekend. DeAvila-Silebi said she then called the Fort Lee Police Department and, after explaining she was assigned to both Bergen and Passaic counties and was on emergent duty, arranged for the police to pick up the child, the complaint said. The ACJC said that as a "direct result" of DeAvila-Silebi's intervention, the child, who had been temporarily left in the custody of Ferrer's mother, was taken from the grandmother and turned over to Chermont. ACJC Counsel Maureen Bauman said in the complaint that DeAvila-Silebi erred by failing to confirm the venue of the custody dispute. The complaint further said she did not review the custody order, involved herself in a matter outside her jurisdiction, and also did not confirm the relationship between the caller and the child. Reddin asked DeAvila-Silebi during the hearing whether anything about the call “raised your antenna.” DeAvila-Silebi said no. “He [the caller] represented himself to be an attorney,” she said. “I took the phone call and I dealt with it. There was the potential for violence. “I was trying to protect the child,” she said.

The ACJC noted that DeAvila-Sibeli never attempted to identify the caller, nor determine his status, if any, as a member of the bar. The complaint alleges that DeAvila-Silebi engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice and did not conform to the high standards of conduct expected of judges. It further alleges that she impugned the integrity of the judiciary, failed to avoid the appearance of impropriety and lent the prestige of her office to the benefit of another. It is unclear how the caller obtained DeAvila-Silebi’s cellphone number, although Reddin said in the answer that the number was widely available to law enforcement officers, judicial officials and lawyers because she frequently was on emergent duty on weekends. Until the suspension, DeAvila-Silebi was assigned to the Civil Part in Passaic. Reddin said the complaint failed to capture the essence of the situation, and did not take into account that she was in the middle of a transfer and was handling a matter that could concern a child’s safety and well-being outside of regular court hours. “[S]he was presented with an emergent application involving a custody dispute and the potential safety of the child,” he said in the answer. DeAvila-Silebi was first nominated to the bench in 2008, and granted tenure in 2015. In the Law Journal‘s 2015 Judicial Survey, DeAvila ranked 17th out of the 19 judges surveyed in Passaic with an overall score of 7.01 out of a possible score of 10. Her highest score, 8.27, was for being unbiased with regard to race, gender or party identification. Her lowest score, 6.38, was for her ability to handle complex cases. "In respect of any mitigating factors for this, the record is largely silent," Long said in the presentment. "While we commend Respondent's dedicated service as a Superior Court judge for the past nine years, five as the Bergen County Presiding Criminal Division judge, this length of service, standing alone, is insufficient to mitigate her misconduct in this instance."

The N.J. Supreme Court just fired this judge for abusing her power

By Thomas Moriarty | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

A Superior Court judge in Passaic County has been removed from office by the state Supreme Court, which determined she had interfered in a custody dispute and then lied about it.

The Supreme Court's order came after Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi decided not to fight the recommendation of a three-judge panel appointed by the court.

The panel had recommended DeAvila-Silebli be removed from office after its investigation found she had misused her position to intervene in a custody dispute involving a former intern.

A May 9, 2015, phone call placed by the judge to the Fort Lee Police Department had prompted officers to retrieve the intern's child from his grandmother and transfer her to the woman's custody, after the judge claimed the former intern had a court order supporting her custody rights that weekend.

No such order existed.

Testifying before the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, the panel's report said, DeAvila-Silebi claimed she had received a call earlier that morning from "either an attorney, a sheriff's department or the prosecutor's office or a local police department," claiming the caller had read the order to her over the phone.

That call, the panel found, had been placed from the former intern's cell phone number.

When asked for her phone records from that day, the panel said, the judge provided a list of calls that had been cropped to conceal whether the calls were incoming or outgoing.

The judge also claimed she was on emergency duty in Bergen County at the time of the calls, the panel said, when she had in fact recently been reassigned to the court's Passaic County branch.

"We are compelled to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that respondent's continued deceitful conduct justifies her removal from office," the panel said.

DeAvila-Silebi's attorney could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Liliana DeAvila-Silebi, former Superior Court Judge

The Supreme Court banned former Passaic County Superior Court Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi from the bench in 2018 after the ACJC presented evidence that she misused her position “to advance the private interests” of a former judicial intern in a child custody case.

According to the ACJC, DeAvila-Silebi called Fort Lee police in May 2015 to tell them Vivianne Chermont had a court order to have custody of her 5-year-old son for Mother's Day weekend. However, an investigation later found that the court order did not exist.

When questioned, DeAvila-Silebi stood by her story and denied knowing Chermont, ACJC said. After a subpoena from the Attorney General’s office, she turned over heavily redacted phone records to conceal that she and Chermont were in communication before DeAvila-Silebi called the police to intervene in the custody battle.

The Supreme Court ruled that DeAvila-Silebi made false statements under oath before the ACJC, and submitted altered telephone records to the panel to “perpetuate her prior false statements.”

DeAvila-Silebi also had her pension revoked.

These are to say a few,

This letter is the further manipulated Bergen
County judicial system closely associated with former Prosecutor Judge Silebi, further criminal behavior further unjustly incarcerating Barry (no fault of his own—we tried everything for justice but former Prosecutor Judge Silebi criminal friends, after all Barry is only a Black man):

Dear Attorney Bryan Stevenson, I also wrote to Attorney Steven Bright to help my son, please

Thank you,

PEASE I need your help in freeing my son from this injustice caused by prosecutor misconduct, Prosecutor at the time and now a Disbarred Judge Lilliana Silebi.

JUST A QUICK NOTE, FURTHER EXPLAINED BELOW:
Can you please contact Barry Lorenzo Carey, Jr. (#161393D), he is located at South Woods State Prison, 215 S. Burlington Rd, Bridgeton, NJ 08302. Please, if possible you can video him or call, at your earliest convenience, if you can help us, when you have the time, thank you.

I am Barry Lorenzo Carey, Jr, mother I am a retired military person.

We are contacting you because, Barry is innocent.

There is a new ruling that was made into law by the New Jersey Supreme Court, called Jury tampering, in the case State vs Edwin Andujur, 2021, (A-6-20) (084167), argued March 30, 2021, decided July 13, 2021, Rabner C. J. writing for a unanimous Court.

Barry's PCR in this case was determined not eligible, because the Supreme Court was not applying this law to the past cases, leaving Barry without any recourse again.

The jury selection was prejudice of the "one black" juror (Juror #3), who was a black woman. Barry's 6 amendment right was violated by singling out and conducting a background check on the only person of color who happen to be the chosen to sit on the jury panel. The investigation took place overnight during the jury selection process, because Prosecutor Silebi used the Bergen County Police, Alan Lustman to do a background check on her, and only on her. Due largely to the unjust investigation into the person of color, Barry an African American ended up with a all white jury. The alleged victim was Caucasian American. Everything can be verified reference the jury selection process it is all in the court transcripts.

The alleged victim, Margaret Shaw, lied on the stand that her boyfriend was black convincing the jury that Barry was guilty. After Barry was convicted, we hired an investigator, before the sentencing, and he was able to obtain information that the alleged victim's boyfriend was always white. So many things occurred that were out right wrong and should be illegal, in my son's case

In addition, the prosecutor at that time in 2006, was Prosecutor Lillianna Selebi and she eventually made Judge. She utilized some of those same criminal tactics, (messing with Juror's using the Bergen County Police to fabricate lies, causing potentially innocent individuals to be put away for most of their lives. She eventually became disbarred and lost her pension and out right fired from the bench, as a Judge. Some of the information on the Judge is attached.

Barry is in desperate need of assistance in getting his case reviewed and dismissed with prejudice.

___________________________________________________________________________-------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ _
I am writing you because Barry is my eldest child and he was raised to be a decent law-abiding citizen. This particular case was twisted into making my son look like a predator and a raging criminal.

I am the many first in my family. The first to go to college; the first to get a Bachelor degree and the first to get two Masters degrees as well as the first to get a Ph.D. I come from a first-generation slave family migrating from Greenville South Carolina. My family was mainly maids or cleaning ladies to include Shofar's. The one exception is my cousin Jesse Jackson, Director of Rainbow/Push, Civil Rights Advocate. My great grandmother Lilly Bell Rosemond, moved to D.C. after the death of my great grand-father, Claude Rosemond Sr., her husband. After arriving in Washington, D.C. we lived in a one-bedroom apartment with 11-relatives, 1904 West Virginia Avenue, Washington, DC. I remember going to the store on the corner, owned by a Jewish family to get bread and milk on time, nickel candy bars and twenty-five cent for a pack for cigarettes. We struggled just to survive in the Washington, DC area that was very different than South Carolina prices. My uncle went in the Navy and that helped my great grandmother tremendously, that was her son, Uncle Claude Rosemond. My mother landed a job at Department of Treasury, on a Friday 13th, what a Blessed event for our entire family’s survival.

I was a single teenaged mom. I dropped out of High School when I got pregnant, later went to night school and got my High School Diploma from Spingarn Stay High School. I struggled a great deal but always remember my mom saying “God Bless the Child that’s Got Its Own! I believe that drove me to keep pushing through-out my life. We never were prejudice; I went to school with other cultures/ethnicities and had good friends of all races growing up. I landed a job at the Labor Department and wanted to get extra experience, to enhance my career and with the Vietnam War ending I wanted to serve my country, and give my career a boast, so I joined the U.S. Army in 1979.

I went to Officer Candidate School and eventually retired after 36-years with a robust career, working for some of the best American Soldier/Civilians ever. We moved to various countries and seen the world. Volunteering and serving twice in Afghanistan and worked with the Japanese Military in Japan. During all of that I managed to keep my son Barry in school to get his High School Diploma, by God’s Grace. I noticed Barry had difficulty in High School and I put him in Emerson College Prep High School, located in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. where he graduated. The Washington Post, Walt Harrington, did an article on my son and his friend’s, their survival, all with a single mom's being raised in the city and their chances of ever getting out of the Ghetto. The article was called “Hoops” by Walt Harrington. After Barry graduated, he went to Saint Augustine College in Raleigh Durham, NC. I eventually moved to Virginia and my son Barry, got a Government job working at Fort Belvoir, after one year in college, he also lived in Virginia. He had some run ins with drugs I did a few trips to seeing a probation officer and taking him for drug testing. We were not perfect but working for a better life outside of my families past struggling to get out of South Carolina, keeping me praying and pushing to survive.

I have two sons and while stationed on U.S. Army military duty, in Fort Leavenworth Kansas. Offering our younger son a change at a better life, my youngest son was in college while living in Virginia, and transferred to Kansas, where he continued at the same college affiliate. He had some run ins with drugs I did a few trips to seeing a probation officer and taking him for drug testing as well, again we were not perfect. He moved his two daughters and their mom moved up from Virginia to Kansas with him. One day Roy, was viciously murdered in Kansas 2011, to this day no one has been arrested. While I was stationed in Kansas, we invited my son and his family to live with us only to leave in a casket. A gut-wrenching experience that left me numb. I volunteered to Afghanistan just to grieve privately and pray I will survive. My son Roy left behind four daughters and a son (the son we still do not know who he is). My husband and I began to take full responsibility for helping the girls mother, the son Roy had, has never been located, because I never had a serious conversation with Roy before he died about his son, we do not know the mothers name or the child’s name, only, she was from Dumfries Virginia.

Barry was in Jail since around 2004 based on this conviction, we never seen this coming. My heart was already broken, dealing with Barry’s devastation and during the fight to free Barry, my youngest son's death Roy. Although, my first child who I had so many aspirations for him to succeed, not realizing black women struggles were very different for black men, especially my two son’s I got to see that first hand. Well, I had to succeed and yet another twist in life that made me look back at my family’s struggle out of Greenville, SC therefore pushing me to buckle down and help Barry with the best legal team to fight the Bergen County Police. Brutality schemed to ruin Barry's life and through away the key, in one of the riches counties in the country, Bergen County Court System. I knew Barry would not commit this heinous crime. I hired Barry a Civil Rights Lawyer online because we were stationed in the U.S. Military where the U.S. Army had transferred me to Germany during this heart-breaking time. I was devastated, I originally called to hire Mr. Brown who I later found out he was retired and he referred me to his son. His son Mr. Raymond M. Brown, Jr. Esq., who runs a Due Process TV show in the New Jersey/New York area, would not take the case because, as I recall, he stated, I could not afford him and he did not have the time, he therefore, referred me to his wife Wanda Akin-Brown, Attorney. Ms. Akin appeared to be against our case from the very beginning. But I always knew Jesus, and did not worry so much about her, Wanda Akin, because I knew that Jesus can help us throughout this case.

As you can see my eldest son Barry, was entrapped in the Bergen County, Englewood, NJ. Again, one of the riches counties in the County. I believe the Bergen County police corruption, police brutality and deepening further into racism. Being a Black man, Barry was rail road into being the fall guy for The Friendship House and therefore the Prosecutor Lilian Selebi manipulated the police to help cover up this bogus case against Barry and advance her career as prosecutor into many promotions leading eventually to a Judgeship, being built off lies.
Barry's story in short, Barry was headed to Labor Ready in Englewood, NJ where a young lady Margaret Shaw, waived Barry down and got in the car with him for a eventual, consensual sexual encounter. Barry and her had a sexual relationship, then he drove her to work. It was quite early in the day light, so Barry dropped her off and asked if he could see her again. According to Barry the answer was yes, Margaret wanted to see him.

Apparently, Margaret was late regularly for her job where Barry dropped Margaret off, and this particular morning she flagged Barry down, although having sex first, she still was late for work. The supervisor wanted to fire her and then the supervisor a counselor at the place where Margaret worked, asked Margaret if she was raped. Margaret with hopes of keeping her employment, stated yes. Margaret made it clear on the stand, they only fucked.

In the trial, Margaret indicated that all her and Barry did was have fuck, and Margaret also indicated that her boyfriend was Black that is why she got in the car, again, because she thought Barry was her Boyfriend. Later in the investigation by Barry's lawyer it was stated, by Margaret that her boyfriend at that time was a white man not a black man, Prosecutor Selebi lied, and manipulated Margaret to lie and Judge Carroll did not allow this newly discovered information to be entered in the case by the defense, for the Jury, prior to sentencing. Margaret stated, that her boyfriend was black under oath, further indicting Barry before the all-white jury. The prosecutor Silebi, had Margaret come to court with a man who was assumed her boyfriend that was a black man, and he set in the court room daily, showing the appearance as her boyfriend, a black man.

BACKGROUND ON BARRY LORENZO CAREY, JR CASE:

Team for Justice in Barry Lorenzo Carey, JR. Case:

1. Below one thing you will find is a letter from the Supreme Court of New Jersey placing a firm nail in my son's case for freedom. We are military family spending 36-years in the U.S. Army, I did not raise violent criminals. Both children Black Males, my youngest son, murdered while I was on Active Duty in the U.S. Army in Kansas, Roy L. Morgan, II, never finding his assailants even with the ballistics on hand and the weapon. When I questioned the Police Department on why they have no assailants identified they told me, that the lab does not have the equipment to match the ballistics with the weapon and as new cases come in Roy’s case gets pushed back further. I experienced my eldest son imprisoned in one of the most crooked cases I ever witnessed during the trial. Fortunately, I was able to take leave from my unit in Heidelberg Germany and attend the trail in which my eldest son was wrongfully convicted.

Barry was charged with sexual assault, kidnapping, luring, he received 30-years in prison, 18-years mandatory, Barry still have 13-years remaining on this unjust sentencing only to elevate Silebi into an avenue for Judgeship based on her deceptive manipulation of the Bergen County Police Department. Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi would stop at nothing short of a conviction for her own personal gratification, building this case on lies.

Some of my son's case issues: Jury was all white NO JUSTICE; arresting Detective Lustman while working directly with Prosecutor Silebi, investigated the one juror of color therefore she was intimidated and dismissed herself NO JUSTICE; Mental Health Psychologist a graduate of Harvard University, Dr. Greenfield, was not allowed to conduct procedural questioning to prove Barry's innocence like the prosecutor’s medical doctor was able to conduct procedural questioning to further convict Barry NO JUSTICE manipulation by then Prosecutor Silebi in collaboration with Judge Carroll; Alex Silvacian created the Sexual Assault Crime Lab in Bergen County, Mr. Silvacian stated, under oath this was not a rape and as an investigator for Barry, he was not allowed to question the alleged victim. The alleged victim Margaret Shaw, stated on under oath that her and Barry "only fucked" NO JUSTICE. Additionally, Barry never signed the Miranda Act form and Barry did not sign the Search and Seizure form, after having a handprint analysis review the signature on the required official forms, the handprint analysis was prepared to go to court to clearly state the signatures appeared to be cut and pasted on the forms; the cut a paste signatures open the door for newly discovered information that never got allowed into the case, because of Prosecutor Silebi’s collaboration with Judge Carroll NO JUSTICE; lastly, the nail that stopped all future post-conviction relief (PCR) justice, one of Barry’s judges allowed Barry’s attorney to file the PCR at a later date (documented in writing). The attorney never filled the case in the time specified by the Judge, closing a door to no avail for Barry to seek freedom from these injustices NO JUSTICE; Barry is stuck with at 29-year sentence and a 18-year mandatory no parole, Silebi orchestrated these injustice events because her pattern was to manipulate the system, individuals involved in her cases that Silebi wants to sabotaged for her own personal gain not justice NO JUSTICE. Looking at her behavior with the custody case demonstrates further Silebi was never a just judge and Silebi has caused corrupt layers of injustices to plague Barry’s case because of Silebi’s pattern of manipulation lies to win her cases.

Particularly in Barry's case:
We did file a misconduct case against Judge Selebi's now patterns of fraudulent behavior, just to make a name for herself not to seek the truth, and many Civil Rights violations:

1. Utilizing the Police Detective Lustman to investigate the one African American Juryer ultimately intimidating her where the Juryer resigned.
2. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to lie on the stand that Ms. Margaret Shaw was severely handicapped when she lived on her own.
3. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to lie on the witness stand that Ms. Margaret Shaw was a victim when she got in and out of cars and therefore having consensual sex with Barry.
4. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Court not to allow the defense medical Doctor, Dr. Greenfield sufficient access to the alleged victim Ms. Shaw.
5. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to lie on the stand that Ms. Margaret Shaw was severely handicapped when she lived on her own.
6. Prosecutor Selebi, manipulating the Friendship House to have two additional individuals to lie that Barry was visiting the Friendship House to lure additional victims.
7. By no fault of Barry, the actual "Time Bar" fraud was committed by Attorney Lori Glick, she was retained and we had to wait for her to file the papers, but fraudulently she sat on the papers causing the late "Time Bar", we have all the evidence for this particular situation.

First Judge Silebi's criminal manipulation history:

Judge Silebi -- history A Superior Court judge in Passaic County has been barred from the bench after a panel said she aided a friend in a child custody dispute and lied to authorities to cover her tracks.

The state Supreme Court’s order, issued Wednesday, came three months after a three-judge panel found that Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi’s behavior violated the state's Code of Judicial Conduct and recommended her removal from office.

Silebi was the presiding judge for criminal cases in Bergen County from 2010 to 2015, before her transfer to Passaic County, where she handled civil cases.

A hearing on her removal was scheduled before the Supreme Court in early September, but she declined to offer a defense, according to the court’s order.

The court found evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Silebi misused her position to "advance the private interests of a litigant," made "false statements under oath" and "altered telephone records" to perpetuate false statements, according to the order.

A disgraced Superior Court judge in Passaic County who was barred from the bench last year will lose her state pension for aiding an intern in a child custody dispute and lying to authorities.

The state Supreme Court dismissed Liliana DeAvila-Silebi in September from her seat on the bench for violating the state's Code of Judicial Conduct. In early December, members of the New Jersey State House Commission followed with a rare vote to strip DeAvila-Silebi of her pension, the first time that has happened in at least 10 years, according to state Sen. Gerald Cardinale, a commission member.

“We had never seen a case like this before,” Cardinale said of the commission, which oversees judicial pensions.

DeAvila-Silebi came under fire in 2015 for helping Vivianne Chermont, a former judicial intern, win custody of her child for Mother's Day weekend. State investigators found that DeAvila-Silebi placed a phone call to Fort Lee police, informing them that Chermont had a court order to have her 5-year-old son on Mother's Day weekend, but the father took custody instead.

The order, however, never existed. DeAvila-Silebi also MISREPRESENTED TO POLICE THAT SHE WAS THE PRESIDING JUDGE OVER THE BERGEN COUNTY CASE, when she was actually a civil division judge in Passiac County.

The state Supreme Court found that DeAvila-Silebi misused her position to "advance the private interests of a litigant," made "false statements under oath" and "altered telephone records" to cover her tracks.

Cardinale said the state commission reviewed the Supreme Court order before voting.

“What’s striking is that she continued to provide cover stories as time went on,” he said. “There’s no respect for the law.”

Before serving in Passaic County, DeAvila-Silebi was the presiding judge for criminal cases in Bergen County from 2010 to 2015. She was nominated to the court in 2008 by Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, and nominated for tenure by Gov. Chris Christie. DEAVILA-SILEBI, OF WALDWICK, REQUESTED A TRANSFER OUT OF SUPERIOR COURT IN HACKENSACK BECAUSE OF AN UNSPECIFIED DISPUTE WITH THE FORMER COUNTY PROSECUTOR, JOHN L. MOLINELLI (DIRECTOR OF THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE).

2. Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi’s developed a pattern of fixing her cases especially in Bergen County, where Police Brutality run rapid, to get the conviction she wanted, illegally would stop at nothing short of an illegal conviction for her own personal gratification and promotion within Bergen County Court System, not for justice and she built this case on pure lies.

More Judge Silebi's criminal manipulated history:

Ethics Panel Urges NJ Judge's Removal

M Media November 9, 2017

The New Jersey Supreme Court panel handling judicial ethics matters is recommending that a Passaic County Superior Court judge be removed from the bench for improperly intervening in a child custody matter, and then being dishonest with investigators after a complaint was filed against her. The court's Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, in a presentment dated Oct. 24 but released Thursday, unanimously recommended that Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi be removed from the bench. DeAvila-Silebi has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the matter. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, in an order signed Thursday, said three judges—Appellate Division Presiding Judge Carmen Messano, Camden County Assignment Judge Deborah Katz and Monmouth County Assignment Judge Lisa Thornton—will conduct further fact-finding proceedings and make a recommendation to the court. The court will likely then hold a hearing on its own before ultimately deciding if removal is warranted. Neither DeAvila-Silebi nor her attorney, Raymond Reddin of Totowa's Reddin Masri, could immediately be reached for comment. Retired Justice Virginia Long, the ACJC chairwoman, said in the presentment that the evidence showed "clearly and convincingly" that DeAvila-Silebi misused the powers of her office, and then was "dishonest in all material respects" when testifying before the ACJC at her April hearing. For the ACJC, it was apparently DeAvila-Silebi's dishonest conduct that persuaded it to recommend removal from office. Had her misconduct been confined merely to the one-time incident regarding the custody matter, Long said, "significant pubic discipline, short of removal," would ordinarily be warranted. "Respondent's demonstrable and pervasive dishonesty during these ethics proceedings, which include a manufactured defense, signifies a complete departure from the honor and integrity demanded of every jurist and essential to the continued viability of the judicial office," Long said. "For this reason, the committee respectfully recommends that proceedings be instituted to remove Respondent from judicial office," Long said.

DeAvila-Silebi is charged with violating the judicial code of conduct by allegedly calling the police on a weekend and having a child transferred from one parent to another. At the time, DeAvila-Silebi was in the middle of transferring from Bergen County to Passaic County, and was an emergent judge on call that weekend. DeAvila-Silebi told the ACJC that she received a call on her cellphone from someone purporting to be an attorney, who read a Family Part order describing a child custody agreement and alleging that the father had violated the order by keeping the child out of school for a week and not returning him to his mother. "You can't help but be human," the judge told the ACJC, according to documents. "As a judge you have to have compassion." It turned out that the call, according to the ACJC, was from the cellphone of a woman named Vivianne Chermont, one of the judge's former unpaid interns, and involved a parenting time dispute with her ex-husband, Franklin Ferrer, though DeAvila-Silebi has claimed she didn't know the identity of the caller. Reddin said in an answer to the original complaint that DeAvila-Silebi acted as best she could under the circumstances. “Given the volume, the unexpectedness, and the ex parte nature of these emergent phone calls, it would be very unreasonable and unrealistic to expect an emergent judge, without the benefit of a court staff or even a file, to field an emergent call on a weekend and completely vet the entire situation prior to making a decision,” he said. The incident at issue occurred on May 9, 2015, according to the ACJC complaint. The caller told the judge that the child was in Fort Lee with the father and was supposed to have been transferred to the mother for the weekend. DeAvila-Silebi said she then called the Fort Lee Police Department and, after explaining she was assigned to both Bergen and Passaic counties and was on emergent duty, arranged for the police to pick up the child, the complaint said. The ACJC said that as a "direct result" of DeAvila-Silebi's intervention, the child, who had been temporarily left in the custody of Ferrer's mother, was taken from the grandmother and turned over to Chermont. ACJC Counsel Maureen Bauman said in the complaint that DeAvila-Silebi erred by failing to confirm the venue of the custody dispute. The complaint further said she did not review the custody order, involved herself in a matter outside her jurisdiction, and also did not confirm the relationship between the caller and the child. Reddin asked DeAvila-Silebi during the hearing whether anything about the call “raised your antenna.” DeAvila-Silebi said no. “He [the caller] represented himself to be an attorney,” she said. “I took the phone call and I dealt with it. There was the potential for violence. “I was trying to protect the child,” she said.

The ACJC noted that DeAvila-Sibeli never attempted to identify the caller, nor determine his status, if any, as a member of the bar. The complaint alleges that DeAvila-Silebi engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice and did not conform to the high standards of conduct expected of judges. It further alleges that she impugned the integrity of the judiciary, failed to avoid the appearance of impropriety and lent the prestige of her office to the benefit of another. It is unclear how the caller obtained DeAvila-Silebi’s cellphone number, although Reddin said in the answer that the number was widely available to law enforcement officers, judicial officials and lawyers because she frequently was on emergent duty on weekends. Until the suspension, DeAvila-Silebi was assigned to the Civil Part in Passaic. Reddin said the complaint failed to capture the essence of the situation, and did not take into account that she was in the middle of a transfer and was handling a matter that could concern a child’s safety and well-being outside of regular court hours. “[S]he was presented with an emergent application involving a custody dispute and the potential safety of the child,” he said in the answer. DeAvila-Silebi was first nominated to the bench in 2008, and granted tenure in 2015. In the Law Journal‘s 2015 Judicial Survey, DeAvila ranked 17th out of the 19 judges surveyed in Passaic with an overall score of 7.01 out of a possible score of 10. Her highest score, 8.27, was for being unbiased with regard to race, gender or party identification. Her lowest score, 6.38, was for her ability to handle complex cases. "In respect of any mitigating factors for this, the record is largely silent," Long said in the presentment. "While we commend Respondent's dedicated service as a Superior Court judge for the past nine years, five as the Bergen County Presiding Criminal Division judge, this length of service, standing alone, is insufficient to mitigate her misconduct in this instance."

The N.J. Supreme Court just fired this judge for abusing her power

By Thomas Moriarty | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

A Superior Court judge in Passaic County has been removed from office by the state Supreme Court, which determined she had interfered in a custody dispute and then lied about it.

The Supreme Court's order came after Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi decided not to fight the recommendation of a three-judge panel appointed by the court.

The panel had recommended DeAvila-Silebli be removed from office after its investigation found she had misused her position to intervene in a custody dispute involving a former intern.

A May 9, 2015, phone call placed by the judge to the Fort Lee Police Department had prompted officers to retrieve the intern's child from his grandmother and transfer her to the woman's custody, after the judge claimed the former intern had a court order supporting her custody rights that weekend.

No such order existed.

Testifying before the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, the panel's report said, DeAvila-Silebi claimed she had received a call earlier that morning from "either an attorney, a sheriff's department or the prosecutor's office or a local police department," claiming the caller had read the order to her over the phone.

That call, the panel found, had been placed from the former intern's cell phone number.

When asked for her phone records from that day, the panel said, the judge provided a list of calls that had been cropped to conceal whether the calls were incoming or outgoing.

The judge also claimed she was on emergency duty in Bergen County at the time of the calls, the panel said, when she had in fact recently been reassigned to the court's Passaic County branch.

"We are compelled to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that respondent's continued deceitful conduct justifies her removal from office," the panel said.

DeAvila-Silebi's attorney could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Liliana DeAvila-Silebi, former Superior Court Judge

The Supreme Court banned former Passaic County Superior Court Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi from the bench in 2018 after the ACJC presented evidence that she misused her position “to advance the private interests” of a former judicial intern in a child custody case.

According to the ACJC, DeAvila-Silebi called Fort Lee police in May 2015 to tell them Vivianne Chermont had a court order to have custody of her 5-year-old son for Mother's Day weekend. However, an investigation later found that the court order did not exist.

When questioned, DeAvila-Silebi stood by her story and denied knowing Chermont, ACJC said. After a subpoena from the Attorney General’s office, she turned over heavily redacted phone records to conceal that she and Chermont were in communication before DeAvila-Silebi called the police to intervene in the custody battle.

The Supreme Court ruled that DeAvila-Silebi made false statements under oath before the ACJC, and submitted altered telephone records to the panel to “perpetuate her prior false statements.”

DeAvila-Silebi also had her pension revoked.

These are to say a few,

This letter is the further manipulated Bergen
County judicial system closely associated with former Prosecutor Judge Silebi, further criminal behavior further unjustly incarcerating Barry (no fault of his own—we tried everything for justice but former Prosecutor Judge Silebi criminal friends, after all Barry is only a Black man):
