I  FORGIVE VICTORIA ​FORESTER COURTLAND
FOR MAKING A FALSE REPORT TO THE SEATTLE
POLICE TO HURT ​​INNOCENT CHARLIE Y. CHENG !

         According to THE SENTENCING PROJECT FACT, "There are 2.2 million people in the nation’s prisons and jails—a 500% increase over the last 40 years", and the INNOCENT PROJECT, "Various studies estimate that in the United States, between 2.3 and 5% of all prisoners are innocent".   Washington State former healthcare provider Charlie Y. Cheng ("Charlie Cheng")  is one of the innocent prisoners.
          The fact that Charlie Cheng is fact-innocent has been documented in this website and the following book  "FORGIVENESS: An Innocent Prisoner's Testimony" (Charlie Y. Cheng, 2007).
          根据美国《无辜者》组织2014年的统计，美国大约有2.3-5 %的囚犯是被冤判入狱。本网站作者就是其中之一，他遭到迫害的事实、以及为何他会原谅迫害他的人，已经在2007年出版的下面这本回忆录中有所记载。

In 2015, Vitoria Forester
Courtland found my website i

           Five years ago, in June of 2015, I had been informed by the Department of Corrections ("DOC") that Victoria Forester Courtland (aka: "V.C.", Victoria Forester Courtland, Victoria Forester), who made false sexual-assault claim against me in 2006 - for the purpose to get a restitution to cover up her expense of travel, child care  - had read my website (this one), in which (1) I posted undeniable Mrs. Victoria Courtland's inconsistent statements (infra) to prove the fact that the State's witness didn't tell the truth under oath at the Court;  and (2) the reason I would forgive Mrs. Victoria Courland - for her making malicious accusations to hut my good reputation - upon GOD's instruhctions, ("If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." MATHEW 6:14-15)
           在2015年六月，DOC部门通知我说，V.C.女士看到我这个网页（上面登出了她在法庭上前后不一的证词，以及我会按照耶稣在《马太福音》六章14-15节的指示、来原谅她诬告我之错）。

• Who is Victoria Forester?   ("V.C." in this website)

In 2019, Victoria F. Courtland
voluntarily surrendered her
2007 restitution against me.

             Five years later, after Victoria Forester Courtland read this website, in February of 2019, I was informed by Prosecutor D. R. that (2007) State's witness Victoria Courtland ("V.C.") voluntarily asked the King County Prosecutor's Office to plead the Court to stop my payment to her restitution (she asked 11 years ago).  See below.
​           四年之后她成为了一位新人，因为在2019年她主动要求法庭终止她在2007年向我索赔的要求。见下面检查官2019给我的信。​

          In 2007, in order to get a $12,320.00 of restitution to cover up her unsupported 'expense' (for travel, childcare, etc.),  Victoria Courtland made numerous malicious statement - she even used a misleading phrase "following the rape' words to suggest a non-existing 'rape​‘ - against me at a public court.  Now, she surrendered the restitution she does not deserve. 
         What force made Mrs. Courtland become a new woman?  The only reason I found:  It's the GOD's power!

• ​When did Victoria Forester Courtland ask for a restitution against innocent Charlie Cheng?  (09/07/2007)
• ​Did Victoria Forester Courtland ask for the restitution against innocent Charlie Cheng publicly?  (Yes)
• What's the total amount of the 2007 restitution Victoria Forester Courtland seek for?  ($12,320.00)
• Is it true that Victoria Forester Courtland asked the restitution to cover her travel expense of "crime-related healthcare"?  (Yes)
• Did the Court grant the so-called "crime-related healthcare" on behalf of V.C.?  (No)
• Is it true that Victoria Forester Courtland asked the restitution to cover her "crime-related child care?"  (Yes)
• Did the Court grant the so-called expense of  "crime-related child care" on behalf of V.C.?  (No)
• Is it true that Victoria Forester Courtland asked the restitution to cover her travel expense of "crime-related travel?"  (Yes)
• Did the Court grant the so-called expense of  "crime-related travel" on behalf of V.C.?  (No)
• When did Mrs. Courtland declared (via a letter being read to the public), "I was diagnosed ... following the rape"? (09/07/2007)
• In the 2007 trial, did Seattle Police Detective Donna Stangeland tell the jury that Victoria Courtland had been 'raped' by Charlie Cheng?  (No!)
• In the Prosecutor's Office's 07/31/2006 charge INFORMATION against Charlie Cheng, does it say that Victoria Courtland had been 'raped' by Charlile Cheng?  (No!)
• On 09/07/2007 at the sentencing Court, in order to get a $12,372.00 of restitution, Washington State's witness Victoria Courtland claimed that she had been diagnosed with PTSD "following the rape".  Did Mrs. Courtland provide any piece of evidence to prove her claim was legitimate?  (No!)
• In order to get the $12,372.00 of restitution, State's witness Victoria Forester Courtland claimed on 09/07/2007 that she had been diagnosed with PTSD "following the rape". In the trial Court on 06/04/2007 and 06/05/2007, did Mrs. Courtland testify that she had been raped by Charlie Cheng?    (No!)
• Does Washington State's witness Susan Forester Goodall (Victoria Forester's sister) tell the jury that Mrs. Victoria Courtland had been raped by Charlie Cheng? (No!)
• Does Washington State's witness Matthew Courtland (Victoria Forester's husband) tell the jury that Mrs. Victoria Courtland had been raped by Charlie Cheng? (No!)

         On 06/30/2006, Seattle Police Detective Donna Stangeland filed a misleading charging PROBABLECAUSE against me which was based upon false allegations of K.R. and V.C. (Victoria Courtland). 
         In July of 2006, the Detective and the DOH (Department of Health) had been informed that I was the victim of V.C.'s false claim.
         Victoria Courtland admitted the important fact that she knew K.R., and she encouraged K.R. "to forward again."
         I used to be a well-respected healthcare provider before State's witness Victoria Forester Courtland making malicious public statements in the open Court to hurt my good reputation!  Most of my former patients were professionals, such as： Accountants, teaches, physicians, nurses, realtors, professors, lawyers, prosecutors; even King County Superior Court judge M. C. and Hollywood movie star L. L., , had been referred to me for treatments.  

• When did Detective Donna Stangeland know the core issue that Charlie Cheng is the victim of Victoria Courtland? (07/11/2006)
• When did the Department of Health know the core issue that Charlie Cheng is the victim of Victoria Coortland?  (07/12/2006)
• Did Detective Donna Stangeland interview Charlie Cheng after she learned that Mr. Cheng was the real victim?  (No)
• Did Detective Donna Stangeland interview Mr. Cheng regarding K.R.'s false allegations against Mr. Cheng?  (No)
• Victoria Forester Courtland disclosed the secret that she encouraged K.R. "to forward again."  Who's K.R.? (Kathryn R, Kathy P.)

             In order to get a $12,312.00 restitution against me, V.C. declared publicly that her 3-year-old daughter was my 'victims' (even though  that I never had been with V.C.'s daughter alone).  See pages 6-11 of the Court-approved transcript dated 09/07/2007  .
             After V.C.'s above public statement, Defense attorney Scott J. Engelhard declared in the same Court publicly, "Mr. Cheng is a fine, fine human being." See page 14 of the 09/07/2007 court-approved transcript (below). ​

             On​ 09/09/2008, a year later after I being wrongfully convicted for the non-existing sex crime ,  Ms. Nussbaum, one of super appellate lawyers, wrote me:  
​           "You are an innocent man wrongfully caught up in the craziness and deceipt of these two women through no doing of your own ...  the trial judge made errors in your trial." （see FACT-52 below)
​         在我被冤判入狱后的第二年，华州一位著名的上诉律师写给我：“你（笔者）是位无辜者，被两位说谎的女人编的故事栽赃... 我认为庭审法官也有错。” （下面是上诉律师原信的有关部分)

I HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED BY AMERICANS
我受到了美国民众的支持

               After I was wrongfully convicted by the Jury which did not see my key evidence (my 04/13/1998 letter to K.R. to cancel her and her husband's treatment appointments because I was sexually assaulted by K.R. on 04/12/1998) , the trial Judge received 31 letters from American society to support me (see FACT-26 below).

To read the character letters to Judge Nicole MacInnes?  Please click the image below.

Victoria F. Courtland told the jury,
"I do enjoy writing fiction, and I do
like creating stories." (See above).
But her story was inconsistent

            Regarding Mrs. Courtland's stories, Prosecutor Ms. Jensen pointed out to the trial Court:
​
​           "Ms. Courtland with her report ... is not exactly consistent with what she has said during her interviews.  There's something that's going to wheedle away her case, and the strenth of the State's case." (See below FACT-9)
​
          关于如何评价VC编的故事，检查官Jensen说：“Courtland 女士在我们取证时的所讲,与她向KCSARC 机构的报案，有很大的出入。这将影响到我们的诉讼和消弱政府的这个案子。”（见下面FACT-9的法庭记录。）

WHY OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM ​MUST BE REFORMED?

           According to the Due Process law being addressed in The 14th Amendment to the United State's Constitution ("nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law") and Article I, Section 3 of the Washington State Constitution ("No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"), all American citizens should be treated equally. However, I, a good U.S. citizen who did not commit a crime, had not been treated equally because of racialism - as a result, I had been incarcerated in an American prison for over 7 years without legitimate PRABABLE CAUSE (My 2006 charges were based upon accusers' false statements and Seattle Police Detective Donna Stangeland's misleading CERTIFICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF PROBABLE CAUSE dated 06/30/2006.)
          根据美国宪法第十四修正案和华盛顿州宪法第一章三则的规定，任何美国公民的生存、自由、和财产权都不可以非法被剥夺。但是我（一位良民）的案例却遭到了意外 -- 居然因为西雅图警方侦探Donna Stangeland 2006年6月30日的一份虚拟事实的所谓调查报告，因种族因素，就被蒙冤打入大牢七年之久！

          In my case, the 07/31/2006 charge INFORMATION was not based upon undeniable evidence but was solely relied on a detective's misleading CERTIFICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF PROBABLE CAUSE; plus the trial Judge's violation of  my constitution right guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Note:  The female Judge did not allow me to provide my own witnesses on my behalf (see below defense attorney Scott J. Engelhard's email dated 06/01/2007) has contributed the miscarriage of justice. 
          据美国宪法第六修正案的规定，刑事案的被告有权提供自己的证人，但是我的主审法官却不许我的女病人出庭为我作证（请看下面辩护律师在2007年6月1日写给我的电邮）。

         America is the greatest country in the world.  In order to make America greater, and to avoid future innocent people lost freedom guaranteed by the Constitution,  today's criminal justice system must be reformed！
         故，为了避免将来会有更多的无辜者受到迫害，美国现行的司法制度必须彻底改革！

03
WHY DID JUSTICE SHERYL G. MACLOUD 
(she's a super defense lawyer in 2007)
MEET YOU IN PERSON IN THE JAIL?

         After I was wrongfully convicted for the sex crime I had not committed, Honorable Justice Sheryl G. MacCloud (she was a famous defense lawyer in 2007) met me in person at the King County jail for the purpose to help my appeal.
​
       当我在2007年6月13日被陪审团误判有罪后，华州最高法院现任大法官（当时她是上诉律师）亲自到监狱来看我、要求替我上诉。

04
HOW HAD YOU BEEN TREATING BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS DURING
YOUR 7-YEAR PRISON TIME? 

           AI had been treating quiet respectfully by the officers of DOC (Department of Corrections) staff at the prison. 

​          I'd like to give special thanks to these officers:  David Pittsenbarger, Melisa McVicker, Paul Barajas, George McCabe, Richard Brown, Jason Finke,  Craig Scott, Susan Poland, Belinda Caobin, R. Rambow, Brian Roberts, Nate Brum, Chad Chambers,  Sgt. Richairson, Sgt. Geoffrey Smith, Sgt. Semmon,  Sam Estep, Jannifer Ridgewood, Nicolas Lundgren, Michael King, Jason Finke,  Dennis Able,  Mr. Bellenger, Feresa R. Rees, Joa Chrispher, Hamble hardier,  Counselor Rollins, Counselor C. Steele, Counselor Devin Hughs, Conselor Curt McDonnal, etc.   

05
WHY DO YOU SHARE YOUR TRAUMA WITH THE PUBLIC? 

          In order to share GOD's Mercy (e.g., in 2019, Victoria Forester Courtland voluntarily surrendered the 2007 restitution she does not deserve), and to prevent more innocent persons be mistreated under ​injustice (as I'd suffered), I disclosed my real case with undeniable evidence in this website: TELLING THE TRUTH.
​
         Hopefully, this online memoir will be an useful reference for law students, justice workers and all American families.
​
​      为了分享神的恩典（例如：诬告我的V.C. 女士在2019年主动放弃不属于她的2007年赔款）和防止更多的无辜者受到不公平的审判，我决定将自己经历过的因不公平的司法带给我的苦难、以无可反驳的证据公布与此；希望有益于社会。
