IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT

Of the

CITY OF PHOENIX

STATE OF ARIZONA

Roxanne Martin case No. M-4243474

Vs. Affidavit in Support of Defendant’s

State of Arizona MOTION to set aside contempt citation

And reassignment of Judge.

COMES NOW THE AFFIANT MICHAEL PIERCE in proper form and standing who now
states the following:

I am of legal age of majority, and qualified in all respects to make this affidavit.

I reside at 2134 W. Georgia Avenue, in the city of Phoenix, State of Arizona.

I have known defendant, Roxanne Martin for a period of five years, and am familiar with the
circumstances of her present situation.

I accompanied Roxanne Martin to the show-cause hearing held on 16 February 2011, in the
afternoon session of court. It was at this hearing that I observed the conduct of the judge, to be
so hostile, as to cause undue stress to Roxanne Martin, and had an effect to be prejudicial to the
fair, impartial administration of justice.

I had advised Roxanne Martin, that according to accepted norms, that appearing and attempting
to make a good faith payment of her obligations, would be viewed favorably, and certainly not
conduct of that of contempt.

This was a show-cause hearing for the purposes of defendant to show-cause why they should not
be held in contempt. As such defendant should have been afforded a full opportunity to be heard
without being constantly interrupted and not allowed to develop their defense(s)

It must be noted the Roxanne Martin is under psychiatric care, and currently is taking
psychotropic medication for psychiatric symptoms. As such she is emotionally, psychologically
vulnerable to the compounded effects of stress.

It should also be noted that the court should have as form according defendant latitude in making
her defense, being that she is not herself legal counsel, nor with any adequate legal training.
Affiant further states that it is their belief that a careful review of the audio tape of the
proceedings will corroborate the allegations made as to defendants abridgment of their fourteen
amendment due process rights.

FURTHER affiant now concludes their statement.

On day of February 2011 before me ,a

notary public qualified in the State of Arizona appeared and
having provided proof of his identity as being one and the same, did execute the foregoing
affidavit.
