Right to counsel & evidence

Act II — Sixth Amendment / Defense Crippled

Brady evidence withheld. Discovery withheld. Legal mail confiscated. Attorney access denied. The constitutional preconditions for any fair trial — denied. The lead grievance: AUSA Brasher's pre-plea denials of Marcus DiPaola's FBI ties, contradicted by Marcus's own public-record self-admission a year and a half after sentencing.

Brady / Entrapment

#8Brady Violations — Government Suppressed Federal Informant Evidence

AUSA Douglas Brasher told the court the government had no idea who "1% Watchdog" was and that Marcus DiPaola was not a federal agent. A year and a half after Ryan was sentenced, public-record evidence surfaced of Marcus DiPaola self-identifying as having worked for the FBI Chicago field office from 2016 to 2019 — the exact years he was embedded inside Ryan's hurricane-rescue organization. Suppressed exculpatory evidence. The foundation of an entrapment defense Ryan was denied.

From the filing: …onstitutional violation is on the record, and the entrapment-defense theory it would have supported is now a matter of public archive.
