19 December 2013 TO THE 12-STRANGERS WHO CONVICTED US ON FRIDAY THE 13TH, DECEMBER 2013: We forgive you.

As a statistician, I know the probability of us existing borders on impossible. Your City Attorney robbed you of your opportunity to discover that the impossible exists. We, David Eugene Rozier, Sr. and Karen Michele Rozier exist. The man you convicted as David Rozier really did build our 4,206 square foot home from foundation to finish with no outside labor. In our ad we said it cost us less than $35 per sq/ft. It actually cost us slightly over $29 per sq/ft, but we didnt want to brag. David is an Eagle Scout and was a member of the Air Force Squadron of the Year for two years. The City Attorney deprived you of your right to listen to our neighbors, many of whom were willing to drive from Orange County to Los Angeles to vouch for Davids credibility. They were willing to testify as to how they watched him tear down the old one before we moved in and then watched him rebuild alone. Our court-appointed attorneys we met at trial failed to subpoena our witnesses. You and your tax dollars were used to convict an innocent man. I have a degree in electrical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), was a Navy missile engineer briefly (aka rocket scientist), have a masters also from CMU an MS. Industrial Administration, the equivalent of an MBA but with a concentration in manufacturing, I also have a masters from Harvard University. I was admitted into their doctoral program with full tuition plus stipend. Your City Attorney had full knowledge of the facts. As you recall, he objected to my education, credentials, and publications being admitted into evidence. You had before you a female Harvard doctoral candidate Navy rocket scientist and he convinced you all that I was a Black con artist from a Detroit ghetto. I have never been to Detroit. Your City Attorney knew that I was born and raised in Baltimore because he verified it back in 2011 when we were represented by the Cochran Firm. Didnt you even wonder (during your brief deliberation) why my information was excluded and I was silenced? I have defense and private industry procurement experience and was qualified to run Ms. Ekstrands small project. Your City Attorney knows that I am a member of the Department of Defenses Acquisition Professional Community. That is the highest level of certification one can obtain after meeting the requirements in a field I am certified in three: Systems Engineering (SPRDE), Test Engineering (TE), and Manufacturing (PQM). Your City Attorney had this evidence but excluded it, playing on your prejudices and ignorance. You and your tax dollars were used to convict an innocent woman. The City Attorney knew he had no reason or right to pursue the case, but he also knew that prejudice and bias, as well as just common sense, would play in his favor. One man built a million dollar home alone on the cheap. A Black female Harvard educated rocket scientist. A cerebral palsied kid that clearly looks healthy.

The reason why the con was believable is because it is true; we are who we say we are, did what we say we did, and were fully qualified and prepared to deliver what we promised to and in fact did, deliver. I pray that you learn from this experience. As for our son David Bear, he really does have cerebral palsy. I know you feel that we created an elaborate rouse in order to elicit sympathy from potential victims, but your City Attorney has seen the medical records. Our son was in court to testify about the two brain surgeries he had at the time of the handwritten contract. Didnt it strike you as odd that no one focused on that one contract being handwritten? Of course not!+ You deliberated for less than 20-minutes and there were a substantial number of exhibits entered into evidence. May you learn to question your instincts. David Bear was born weighing 744 grams (1.5 pounds). According to his doctor and medical charts, information that your City Attorney hid from you, he had: (1) an open artery between his heart and lungs causing bleeding into his lung, requiring him to be transferred from Newport Beach (his birth place) to CHOC for surgery to close the artery, patent ductus arterious, aka heart/lung surgery. We transferred him back to Newport Beach after the surgery. (2) brain damage covering around 75% of both sides of his brain; 3 brain shunt surgeries; (3) retinopathy of prematurity, the leading condition of blindness; His eyes have self-corrected twice, both times verified by his eye specialist at the time; (4) Jaundice; (5) Double hernia surgery; When we brought him home from the hospital, the Drumonds were his first visitors. We were shocked when the witness Drummond denied knowing us initially. The City Attorney is such a shrewd man, he also managed to get that excluded. The 15-year old boy you feel should be in Foster Care was on oxygen until approximately age two and is developmentally delayed. Up until recently, he was considered low vision and part of the Braille Institute. He has saved a life, and was honored for his contribution. The reason why David Sr. hasnt sat for the architect license is because he quit his job with Tagfront Architects to build our 4,206 square foot home and to heal our son. You have seen our son. I would love for you to come see the house that he built, by himself, for his son. According to Zillow.com the day you convicted us, it was worth over $1.1 million. I am more than willing to share all the receipts plus the spreadsheets of the costs. We were planning to make a video and make it public, but you decided that we should spend six months in jail instead. We did not need to lie about our accomplishments or affiliations because we are who we say we are and we absolutely have done everything we said we did. We had an office in Mexico before we met Ms. Ekstrand, and the land contracts, business contracts, rental agreements, utility statements, and bank account statements were likewise excluded from evidence. [I hope that those of your who proudly boasted of sitting on previous juries are seriously reconsidering your previous verdicts.] The City Attorney knows that we invested more than $200,000 of our own money plus another $50,000 of money from family in Mexico long before we met Ms. Ekstrand. I know the City Attorney made the

$100,000 appear to be a huge amount for the two Defendants you convicted on paper, but you did not convict the two people that appeared before you in court. Given that you now know that the people who appeared before you are competent and qualified, that the man that appeared before you did build our 4,206 square foot home for less than $35 per square foot, and that the boy you observed does in fact have cerebral palsy, do you still feel that we are not credible and con artists or do you feel that you were used and cheated by the City Attorney? We even did the things the City Attorney didnt say, such as we asked twice Ms. Ekstrand to come get her product, asked her lawyer to come get it, and mailed the final product to her. She admitted to your City Investigator that she returned the final package because she just didnt want it. That was after she sued us for $1.4 million, and before she paid cash for her daughter to attend law school for three years. According to her emails which the City Attorney was able to exclude, she didnt want her daughter to take out any student loans. She wanted her to be able to marry a white man like she did, so her grandchildren wouldnt look Asian, or using her own word, ugly. You were entrusted with our lives and the lives of our son, family and friends yet you were so cavalier that you didnt even look at all the evidence. I dont hate you. I pity you. I pray that you accept that you can be more than you presently are and then try to be more. At least three of you should be permanently barred from jury duty, and I will make that recommendation privately. One of you should lose your job. Im sure Ms. Ekstrand is enjoying her time, if not at her Hollywood home, then at her San Bernardino property, her Las Vegas property, or even perhaps overseas with her husband at their estate; she is quite wealthy you know, or did the City Attorney hide this from you as well? We are not bitter. The simple version is that the City Attorney hid the truth from you, our courtappointed lawyers were unprepared for trial, and the judge was more interested in protecting her perfect record of getting cases to jury on target than respecting two Defendants constitutional protections. The more complicated version is that the judges $650,000 Countrywide/ Bank of America mortgage was paid off, the court-appointed attorney has a son that works for Bank of America and the two of them conspired with the City Attorney to convict Karen to assist Bank of America, who Karen claims owes her $6,000,000 and an apology. Karen is also trying to put the bank lawyers in jail. Judge Renee Korn kept Karen from attending a crucial hearing in Karens civil matter against Bank of America after three times stating that she would have the civil hearing delayed. Judge Korn then failed to take responsibility for not informing the civil court ahead of time. A review of the Los Angeles Public Records is what caused Karens suspicions about the $650,000 payoff. We wish you take from this experience that God has provided us all with abundance and each with our own talents. During the Christmas, Kwanza, and Holiday Season, may you reject the stereotypes that limit us all and embrace the impossibility of Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men. Just like the government lied to you about our being able to exist, they have lied to you about war being a necessary condition. Merry Christmas. Happy Kwanza Peace Be With You. Karen M.
