When Mr. Tripati began to challenge corrupt practices of Maricopa County, he was falsely accused of trying to defraud others in a real estate appraisal for bail bonding scheme. The persons involved have stated Mr. Tripati was not involved. Using witness intimidation and witness tampering and other nefarious methods to prevent persons from testifying, the Maricopa County Attorney's office obtained a conviction against Mr. Tripati and he was then sentenced to 52.5 years in prison with NO parole opportunity, on one count of fraudulent schemes, one count of false swearing, and two counts of attempted fraudulent schemes.
Teresa Archuleta, an employee of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office informed Tripati that he was making waves and needed to back off, otherwise they (Maricopa County) would shut him down and put him out of business. When Mr. Tripati did not back off, and soon thereafter, Gunn McKay, Dean Chatfield, Donald Conrad, and others "manufactured crimes and arrested Mr. Tripati." On June 24, 1992, Dean Chatfield, Donald Conrad, and Gunn McKay, traveled from Arizona to California, entered and search Mr. Tripati's office and "without a court order" seized and removed to Arizona the approximately 150,000 pages of documents which were the collection of evidence gathered against Maricopa County by Mr. Tripati. Also taken by these persons was office and computer equipment, computer disks containing the scanned records of the documents seized, a legal-research computer program utilizing a form of artificial intelligence written by Mr. Tripati, and many other items. At the time, Mr. Tripati was in negotiations to sell the program for a sum of about 40 million dollars. Maricopa County filed forfeiture proceedings unsuccessfully claiming the items were part of the "manufactured" crimes. As the evidence material also contained incriminating evidence against Maricopa County and would have exonerated Mr. Tripati and showed the crimes were manufactured against him, the Maricopa County Attorney's office did not return the material as ordered by the court. Instead, Teresa Archuleta was ordered by the Maricopa County Attorney's office to destroy the documents and material, which she admitted so doing in a subsequent taped interview. Multiple documents from the courts and public records in the "Supporting Documents" section show in detail the length to which the judges and many employees of the Maricopa County are involved in this massive corruption.

What The Evidence Will Show
- Anant Kumar Tripati is an East Indian, a racial Minority who is a Citizen of the Fiji Islands.
- Tripati owned Legal Research Associates (LRA) in Beverly Hills, California.
- LRA provided litigation support to in excess of 7,500 lawyers.
- LRA had 60 lawyer and paralegals on contract.
- Tripati developed and owned ARVITA®, an Artificial Human Intelligence Software (AHIS) worth at least $40,000,000 which Dean Chatfield stole on June 24, 1992. Donald Conrad and Terry Blake had accompanied Dean Chatfield and were present at the time Chatfield stole the AHIS.
- Tripati had $4,900,000 in assets.
- Tripati earned $1,500,000 a year in gross income.
- LRA worked on controversial issues.
- Tripati obtained in excess of 150,000 documents about Maricopa County targeting racial minorities for law enforcement activities, not investigating complaints made by the general public regarding employee misconduct and paying people hush money. These documents had signatures of Richard Romley as well as some of these showed approval by Betsey Bayless, Ed King, Tom Rawles, Don Stapley, and Mary Rose Wilcox.
- Tripati was preparing to challenge these practices.
- Archuleta, McKay, Chatfield, Mesh and Romley knew of these potential challenges.
- The amount in dispute exclusive of interest and costs exceeds $150,000,000
- Gunn Mckay, Dean Chatfield, Terry Blake, Donald E. Conrad, Richard Mesh, Richard Romley, Ronald Harris, Vincent Tolino, Gerald Grant, Teresa Archuleta, Ed King, Betsey Bayless, Tom Rawles, Don Stapley, Mary Rose Wilcox, of Maricopa County are all citizens of the State of Arizona who acted under "Color" of State Law and pursuant to the authority of Maricopa County.
- Tripati recorded all conversations he had with people and made recordings of his conversations with Archuleta.
- On March 27 of 1992, Archuleta in a tape-recorded call advised Tripati that Mckay, Chatfield, Mesh, Blake, and Archuleta had a meeting in which they agreed to send people to search LRA, close business, and forfeit Tripati's assets.
- Romley approved this.
- On 6/24/92, without probable cause or without consent, Chatfield, Conrad, Blake searched LRA, removed property from LRA and brought these properties to Arizona.
- No California Judge had allowed Chatfield, Conrad, Blake to take property. They contacted a Richard Goldston who went to a California Judge and on July1, l992 lied to the California Judge to obtain an order, allowing the property to be brought to Arizona.
- Without probable cause Ronald Harris file forfeiture which was later dismissed.
- Tripati saw Chatfield take ARVITA® (AHIS) disc , other computer files and 150,000 pieces of evidence.
- One goal of the search and seizure was to destroy the very evidence on the on going corruptions in Maricopa County, take away other properties and shut-down Tripati's business.
- Chatfield arrested Tripati June 24, 1992 and took him in his custody.
- Chatfield, Conrad, Blake, Mesh, Harris, Romley, McKay, Tolino and Grant lied to the Governor. They did not tell the governor that Chatfield had made the arrest. This is because Tripati could not be called a fugitive.
- Tripati was held for 115 days before arraignment.
- According to Mckay, "sand nigger" Tripati must be stopped.
- All this was done by defendants because Tripati is of East-Indian, a racial minority who was in the process of exposing misconducts and corruptions within the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
- Knowing that the practices were wrong, Grant, Romley, Mckay, Tolino, Harris had Chatfield, Blake and Conrad engage in these wrong-doings.
- Romley could have stopped this by establishing policies. Of course he failed to do.
- It is often these named defendant's policy to retaliate against those who challenge their policies and practices.
- Defendants have the policy of treating racial minorities harsher than the Whites.
- Since Tripati posed a threat to their practices and policies established by Romley, he was punished and locked up for 52 1/2 years.
- Romley has authorized and approved a code of silence in Maricopa County which mandates every employee cover-up for other employees. This code of silence was enforced in this case.
- Romley has established a policy of cover-up in Maricopa County which was enforced in this case.
- Evidence will clearly show those named defendants falsified, manufactured, destroyed and withheld evidence to prevent the jury from hearing all the evidence and the real truth about the case.
- Richard M. Romley, Betsey Bayless, Tom Rawles, Ed King, Don Stapley and Mary Rose Wilcox had received thousand of similar complaints before Tripati's jury trial. They did nothing. Instead, they paid people hush money in exchange to stop complain.
- On June 24, 1992 Tripati saw Chatfield take the 150,000 documents, and other files with evidence. Defendants under federal rules, were required to produce these materials that related to this lawsuit. They did not produce the materials and withheld them from the jury because these materials proved Tripati's claims. Tripati repeatedly asked their lawyers for the documents but they did not produce them.
- To prevent this jury from reviewing this case, Teresa Archuleta, upon the instructions of defendants lawyer Jeffrey Alan Bernick, as well as Conrad, McKay, Chatfield, Harris, Blake, Tolino, Grant and Romley destroyed the 150,000 pages and other materials. They did this only after the federal magistrate ordered they produce the documents.
- Defendants acted in accordance with the policies of Maricopa County.
- Defendants acted knowingly, intentionally, deliberately and with evil motive.
- Tripati is seeking the $40,000,000 damages for ARVITA® $1,500,000 a year for his loss of income, costs for the loss of his business, and punitive damages.
- Betesy Bayless, Tom Rawles, Ed King, Mary Rose Wilcox, Don Stapley, and Richard M. Romley could have prevented the conduct, had they not provided for representation at County expense of County employees, not paid punitive damages, established and maintained necessary policies and enforced them.
- Defendants acts were willful.
- Defendants conspired to engage in these acts and their conspiracy was racially motivated to deny Tripati equal protection and privileges.
