FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 4, 2026
BREAKING: Whistleblower Makes Call from FCI Milan Solitary Confinement; Confirms Abuse by Guards with “Neo-Nazi” Tattoos
The Evidence: On January 4, 2026, despite a documented communications blackout, disabled veteran, Conrad Rockenhaus, was finally able to place a call from the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at FCI Milan. This recording flatly contradicts the Bureau of Prisons’ official stance that Mr. Rockenhaus was “safe” and “choosing” not to communicate.
Key Revelations in the Audio:
- Identification of Abusers: Rockenhaus explicitly names Officers Crenshaw and Zelenski as the guards physically abusing him. These are the specific officers previously reported to Judge Jonathan J.C. Grey the Eastern District of Michigan Court, for displaying white supremacist hate symbols (Reichsadler/Nazi Eagle) while on duty.
- Chemical Restraint Confirmed: Rockenhaus confirms he is being denied his prescribed seizure medication and is instead being forced to take 10mg of Zyprexa, an antipsychotic that in combination with his other medications/trauma could cause serious health problems, or death. Conrad reports having seizures “at least once a week” as a result. Before his incarceration, Conrad had been seizure-free for a year.
- Medical Coercion: He reveals he “volunteered” for an addiction treatment program (MMT/Suboxone) solely because the facility refused to provide any other form of pain relief for his traumatic brain injury.

“The BOP told the Senate my husband was safe. This audio proves he is being hunted and slowly murdered. Handing a whistleblower over to the very guards he reported for Neo-Nazi affiliation is not ‘corrections’, it is a hit job.” – Adrienne Rockenhaus
EMERGENCY MOTION FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
This is the 166-page “Life or Death” Emergency Motion that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals clerk, Alicia Harden, returned “unfiled” to effectively erase the evidence of government misconduct from the official record. It details the “Shadow Docket” corruption that has trapped my husband, Conrad Rockenhaus, in a lethal cycle of retaliation, including proof that U.S. Marshal Brett Fimbinger utilized a “secret” state warrant to raid our home just days after I sued another U.S. Marshal for sexual harassment. This document exposes the full timeline of Judge Stephen J. Murphy III’s admitted bias, the “Tactical Breach” on a disabled veteran, and the medical torture currently taking place at FCI Milan; because the court refuses to acknowledge it, I am publishing the full, suppressed text here: READ THE EMERGENCY MOTION as well as the SUPPLEMENT TO THE EMERGENCY MOTION.
Dec 27, 2025: LATEST UPDATE: Defense Counsel “Mic Drop” on the Sixth Circuit Record
From Adrienne Rockenhaus: Last week, my husband’s attorney, Kaycee Berente, filed a Reply Brief that effectively dismantles the Government’s attempt to rewrite history.
Last week, SAUSA Corinne Lambert argued to the Appeals Court that Conrad Rockenhaus’s claims of medical neglect and retaliation were “never raised” in the lower court, essentially accusing us of fabricating the crisis.
Within 24 hours, the Defense proved that was false. In a stunning correction of the record, the Defense Brief cites the exact transcript pages where Judge Stephen J. Murphy III (E.D. Michigan) was explicitly told about the medical emergency and chose to ignore it. The receipts are now officially on the docket.
Key Takeaways from the Filing:
- The “Whistleblower” Defense is Official: The brief places on the permanent record that Conrad’s harsh treatment is linked to “retaliation for his whistleblowing,” which exposed misconduct at the detention center.
- Judicial “Discretion” Disproven: The Government claimed Judge Murphy acted within his rights. Today’s filing proves he acted on erroneous facts and ignored undeniable evidence of retaliation.
- The Government’s Narrative Collapsed: The “official story” SAUSA Lambert tried to sell regarding Conrad’s stability and care has been exposed as a contradiction of the documented reality.

The “National Security” Prosecutor
Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. Confirmed by the Senate on December 18, 2025: the precise day the Court moved to silence our emergency motions.
Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. brings a background in “National Security” to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. This critical context explains why the government has escalated a technical probation dispute into a militarized raid: they are treating a Tor exit node operator not as a citizen, but as an intelligence target
We have filed a formal demand for an OIG investigation, charging that Mr. Gorgon concealed these ongoing human rights violations and acts of perjury to secure his confirmation.
THE CORE STORY: Tor, Privacy, and Federal Retaliation
Tor Operator Targeted by the FBI Conrad Rockenhaus’s ordeal began in 2018 not with a violent crime, but with his operation of Tor relays and exit nodes.
- The Tech: Tor (The Onion Router) routes encrypted traffic to protect user privacy worldwide, a tool used by journalists, whistleblowers, and citizens in oppressive regimes.
- The Risk: As an exit node operator, Conrad’s IP address was the visible endpoint for traffic he did not control and could not see.
- The Consequence: This role drew federal attention, allowing a workplace dispute to be escalated into federal charges for “intentional damage to a protected computer” (CFAA).
While that case was resolved years ago, the privacy advocacy at its core set the stage for ongoing scrutiny. Old, out-of-context internet logs, including satirical research on “NAMBLA” regarding an Encyclopedia Dramatica article, were weaponized to smear him.
A Texas probation officer even testified under oath that a standard remote-desktop protocol was a “Linux Operating System capable of accessing the Dark Web.”
From Privacy Advocacy to “Moral Injury“ Today, that commitment to digital privacy has morphed into a nightmare of retaliation.
After Conrad Rockenhaus’s supervision was transferred to Michigan, my formal complaint against a probation officer for harassment triggered a cascade of fraudulent warrants and a violent U.S. Marshals raid on September 4, 2025.
During this raid:
- A grey-bearded “John Doe” Marshal (who had previously sexually harassed me) returned with a tactical team.
- I was held prisoner in my own home at gunpoint while they threatened to shoot my dog, Toro.
- Conrad was beaten until he suffered a new Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and a grand mal seizure in court that same day, witnessed by SAUSA Corinne Lambert and met with total indifference.
The Current Crisis: Medical Neglect & Institutional Silence Conrad is currently a 100% disabled Navy veteran dying from deliberate medical neglect at FCI Milan. His service-connected TBI and seizure disorder remain untreated.
Instead of intervention, we have faced systemic erasure:
- Judge Stephen J. Murphy III dismissed my reports of the Marshal’s sexual harassment as “his wife’s behavior” in open court (Oct 14, 2025).
- Probation Officer Stylianos Agapiou violated no-contact orders three times to harass us during the crisis.
- Magistrate Judge Sally J. Berens struck my emergency motion for help on procedural grounds (Dec 18, 2025), silencing us again.

This press kit contains the foundational public record. For the most current information, please follow the EMERGENCY UPDATES PAGE.
Please see the official docket for the Writ of Habeas Corpus. The primary legal instrument in this life-or-death crisis is the Emergency Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Case No. 2:25-cv-12913). This petition challenges the legality of Conrad Rockenhaus’s confinement on two fundamental grounds: a violation of his Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, and a violation of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. We have supplemented the initial petition with six sworn declarations, documenting the escalating crisis in real-time. These filings include evidence of a deliberate life-threatening assault via medication overdose by BOP staff, the active concealment of exculpatory evidence, witness tampering, and a coordinated campaign to illegally obstruct his access to the grievance process. The court’s continued silence in the face of these filings is a core element of the ongoing constitutional crisis. The complete docket is available for public review on Court Listener.
UPDATE (Oct 4, 2025): Filed on September 30th, the Seventh Supplemental Declaration weaponized the U.S. Marshals Service’s own internal records, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request, to force the government to testify against itself. The government’s own documents confirmed a “Tactical Breach” and “Use of Force” during the violent September 4th raid, proved their prior knowledge of Conrad’s TBI since 2019, and exposed their institutional dishonesty by contradicting their false claim that a previous raid was “without incident” with irrefutable photographic evidence. In a single filing, this declaration established an undeniable pattern of violence, deliberate indifference, and deceit, triggering a systemic crisis within the federal judiciary.
On page 11 of this official report, the U.S. Marshals Service falsely claims Conrad Rockenhaus has the following felony history:
-Burglary/Larceny/Theft: 1 Arrest, 1 Conviction
-Forgery/Fraud: 4 Arrests, 3 Convictions.
These are lies. Conrad Rockenhaus has 0 such convictions. This false history appears to be a malicious exaggeration of a single, dismissed charge for a bad check from many years ago. READ IT HERE.
UPDATE (SEPTEMBER 23, 2025): AUSA Corinne M. Lambert Implicated in Cover-Up of Exculpatory Evidence
Assistant U.S. Attorney Corinne M. Lambert has been formally implicated in the cover-up of the malicious prosecution of Conrad Rockenhaus. As of September 19, she was officially served with evidence detailing the ongoing, life-threatening medical crisis at FCI Milan, including a deliberate life-threatening assault via medication overdose, and has taken no action.
Crucially, AUSA Lambert is now also concealing proof of an exculpatory polygraph examination administered by the U.S. Probation Office approximately one year ago, which Conrad Rockenhaus passed. This proves the probation office was aware he was compliant before they authored fraudulent arrest warrants against him. AUSA Lambert’s failure to disclose this and other exculpatory evidence is a severe violation of her constitutional duties, and a formal complaint is being filed with the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility.
UPDATE (Sept 8, 2025) VIDEO: U.S. Marshals Use Disproportionate Force in Raid for Fabricated Arrest Warrant
WATCH VIDEOS OF ILLEGAL AND VIOLENT SEPT 4 RAID ON ADRIENNE ROCKENHAUS’S HOME BY CLICKING HERE
UPDATE: (Sept 5, 2025) Yesterday my home was raided by US marshals who produced NO warrant. They beat my husband and prevented me from leaving my own home. My husband suffered a grand mal seizure in the courtroom due to the injuries sustained to his head.
This unedited security camera footage, taken on September 4, 2025, shows U.S. Marshals from the Detroit Fugitive Task Force using extreme and unnecessary force to execute an arrest warrant on a 100% disabled combat veteran with a service-related TBI.
The only warrant on the public court record was a simple ARREST warrant for a non-violent, fabricated probation violation. However, the tactics deployed in this video, including smashing windows with a breaching tool, are reserved for high-risk raids on dangerous fugitives, not for a standard arrest.
The violence of this raid directly caused the veteran, Conrad Rockenhaus, to suffer a head injury that resulted in a grand mal seizure in federal court just hours later. He is now incarcerated at the Livingston County Jail, where he is being denied adequate medical treatment for his injuries.
Compounding this crisis, a federal judge has stripped him of his Sixth Amendment right to an attorney, leaving him unable to fight for his medical rights or his freedom. This raid was not a standard law enforcement action; it was a clear act of retaliation against a family for filing a formal complaint against a federal officer.
(Other videos from the raid, including footage of officers threatening the family dog, are available on our YouTube channel.)

URGENT UPDATE: September 5, 2025 – VETERAN INCARCERATED FOR WEEKS WITH NO LAWYER
In a stunning series of events, Conrad Rockenhaus, a 100% disabled combat veteran, is now being held in federal custody and will be denied legal representation for over three weeks by order of a federal judge.
On September 4th, Conrad was violently arrested by U.S. Marshals. During his initial court appearance, he suffered a grand mal seizure and was hospitalized. The following day, Chief U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Murphy, III, revoked his bond, ordering him to be held in jail until a hearing on September 30, 2025.
Crucially, Judge Stephen J. Murphy III is aware that Conrad’s attorney of record, Marc Lakin, has abandoned the case and is out of the country. The judge’s own prior order [ECF No. 16] has created a procedural trap, making it impossible for Conrad to hire a new lawyer. The court has now deliberately chosen to leave a medically vulnerable, disabled veteran incarcerated for 25 days with no access to legal counsel, in a clear violation of his Sixth Amendment rights.

ANN ARBOR, MI – On August 28, 2025, a 100% disabled U.S. combat veteran with a TBI and his wife filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against three U.S. Probation Officers in the Eastern District of Michigan and one U.S. Marshal.
The lawsuit details how the veteran, certified 100% disabled by the VA and Social Security Administration, is subjected to impossible supervision conditions, including a mandate to work full-time and pay $800 per month in restitution from his disability income.
The lawsuit further details a pattern of harassment directed at his wife (a private citizen with no criminal record) that included unscheduled visits, baseless threats of a raid, and the illegal, warrantless seizure of her business property.
After the veteranʼs wife filed a formal complaint detailing this misconduct, the officers’ retaliation was swift, culminating in a fraudulent arrest warrant and a traumatic raid where the couple was held at gunpoint. This page contains the public record and supporting documents for this case.
The Origins of a Retaliatory Prosecution (Texas, 2019-2022)
Early 2019: Conrad Rockenhaus, a supporter of free speech, runs Tor exit nodes used by journalists and activists. Federal agents demand he assist them in decrypting traffic; he repeatedly refuses, asserting his constitutional rights.
- The Coerced Confession: The case against him began when he was forced to confess to a non-violent CFAA (computer crime) offense while under the influence of prescribed painkillers and not lucid following a major surgery.
- The Pretextual Arrest: Just months before the 5-year statute of limitations was set to expire, the federal government arrests Conrad on the CFAA charge. The family alleges this was a pretext for his refusal to cooperate on the Tor matter.
- The Lie that Triggered Detention: Conrad’s pre-trial detention was triggered after his Texas Probation Officer, Tiffany Routh, submitted a false violation report. She falsely claimed he installed a “Linux operating system” that wiped their monitoring software. In reality, the software was a standard SPICE graphics driver, which is not an operating system, that he had prior approval to use for his Ph.D. program.
Furthermore, the officer used the presence of the SPICE driver to suggest to the court that Conrad might be accessing “dark web sites,” a claim the officer admitted under oath in the same hearing that she had no proof to support. - A Documented Conspiracy: PO Routh’s false accusation was fueled by a malicious campaign from Conrad’s ex-wife, Ashley Luster. Newly obtained documents show Luster confessing in a letter to her parents that she had “tricks up my sleeve to keep him in [jail].” Emails show her colluding with Conrad’s own attorney, Walter Reaves, to secretly provide damaging letters to the judge and probation officer to prolong his incarceration for her own financial gain.
2019-2022: Based on these false pretenses, Conrad is held for three years in pre-trial detention in various county jails in both Texas and Oklahoma. The lengthy detention was influenced by improper (ex parte) communications from his ex-wife, a fact acknowledged in the official court minutes, which reference the judge considering the malicious “Character letters.”
During this time, he was subjected to inhumane conditions, including being regularly beaten by guards, forced into lengthy periods of solitary confinement, and often denied life-sustaining seizure medication. The family alleges the abuse stemmed from guards’ animosity toward his high IQ and his inability to “dumb himself down” due to his TBI.
September 6, 2022: After the grueling, multi-year detention, Conrad agrees to a coerced guilty plea. A special condition of his release specifically bars him from using Tor, a tool unrelated to his convicted offense.
- Post release: A formal ethics complaint detailing the collusion with the ex-wife was filed against former attorney Walter Reaves with the State Bar of Texas. Despite an initial investigation, the Bar never provided a final resolution.
A Period of Stability
October 5, 2022: Conrad Rockenhaus, a 100% disabled combat veteran, begins his term of federal supervised release.
August 23, 2023: Under his initial Probation Officer, LaMisha Rice, Conrad’s supervision is stable and compliant. His wife, Adrienne Rockenhaus, is formally approved as his employer via her company, Cannabytes, LLC.
The Crisis Begins
September 2024: Conrad’s case is reassigned to U.S. Probation Officer Stylianos Agapiou, who immediately creates a threatening and hostile environment.
November 19, 2024: Officer Agapiou makes an unannounced visit, illegally seizes an authorized work iPhone belonging to Adrienne’s business, and threatens Adrienne with a raid on their home and her arrest. Adrienne files a complaint with the Department of Justice OIG the same day.
The Formal Complaint and Retaliation
February 13, 2025: Following continued harassment, Adrienne Rockenhaus files a detailed, 10-point formal complaint against Officer Agapiou with his supervisors, including Chief Dion Thomas.
February 20, 2025: Just seven days after the complaint is filed, Chief Dion Thomas engages in a direct act of retaliation and intimidation by calling Adrienne’s ex-husband and deliberately using her former name, despite having just been given her contact information in an email.
The First Fraudulent Warrant and Traumatic Arrest
April 29, 2025: Officer Agapiou’s supervisor, Jeffry W. Konal, authors and files a petition for an arrest warrant based on the deliberate lie that Conrad is an “absconder” whose “current whereabouts are unknown”. This is despite evidence that both Konal and Thomas were aware Conrad was hospitalized in a VA mental health facility. The warrant’s additional claim of “new credit charges” is later disproven after an investigation reveals that both Conrad and Adrienne were victims of identity theft, for which a formal police report was filed.
May 5, 2025: U.S. Marshals execute the fraudulent warrant in a traumatic raid on the family’s home, holding Conrad and Adrienne at gunpoint and threatening them with a K-9 unit. During the subsequent transport, the unidentified “John Doe” U.S. Marshal engaged in further misconduct, including reckless driving and showing Conrad a sexually harassing text message he wrote about Adrienne. Conrad is wrongfully incarcerated.
May 6, 2025: Conrad is released from custody after being placed on a $10,000 unsecured bond.
May 13, 2025: At his hearing, attorney Marc Lakin ambushes Conrad moments before the proceeding, separates him from his wife, and coerces him into pleading guilty to the fabricated violations. The last-minute pressure was a clear exploitation of Conrad’s known combat-related TBI, as Lakin had been in possession of detailed, exculpatory evidence since May 7.
Continued Harassment and the Second Fraudulent Warrant
August 13, 2025: Officer Agapiou and Supervisor Konal conduct another unannounced visit, seizing Conrad’s second authorized work devices. Both devices were essential tools used for application development for his approved employer, Cannabytes, LLC, a web and software development company.
August 20, 2025: Officer Agapiou files a second petition for a warrant containing several demonstrably false or misleading allegations. The petition includes:
- A fabricated story that Conrad used his vehicle’s OnStar service to instruct Adrienne to wipe a seized phone.
- A false claim that Conrad’s restitution payments had “bounced,” when verifiable debit card receipts prove payment.
- A misleading claim of illicit drug use based on a positive marijuana screen, while failing to mention that Conrad has a legal prescription for Marinol (dronabinol), a synthetic cannabis medication which is known to cause a positive result.
The Legal Fightback
August 21 & 27, 2025: Attorney Marc Lakin demands an exorbitant amount of money to continue representation (a large retainer payment had already been paid to him), and he refuses to withdraw from the case. Conrad is forced to file his own pro se motions with the court asking for Lakin’s removal and the appointment of a new lawyer. A bar complaint is filed against Mr. Lakin.
August 28, 2025: Adrienne and Conrad Rockenhaus each file federal Bivens civil rights lawsuits against Officers Agapiou, Konal, and Thomas. Adrienne also files a suit against a ‘John Doe’ federal marshal for sexual harassment.
August 29, 2025: Judge Stephen J. Murphy, III, strikes Conrad’s pro se motions for procedural reasons, stating that the issue of counsel will be addressed at the next hearing.
September 30, 2025: A supervised release violation hearing is scheduled, where the issue of Conrad’s legal representation is set to be addressed. Conrad is currently without counsel, and cannot obtain new counsel until the hearing, unless Marc Lakin withdraws.

Evidence of Fabricated Allegations
The First Fraudulent Warrant Petition (April 29, 2025):
- This official petition, signed by Supervisor Jeffry W. Konal, falsely claims Conrad Rockenhaus was an “absconder” whose “whereabouts are unknown” to justify an arrest warrant. This was filed despite the office having been repeatedly informed that Conrad was hospitalized.
- The First Fraudulent Warrant Petition
The Second Fraudulent Warrant Petition (August 20, 2025):
- This official petition, authored by Officer Stylianos Agapiou, contains new false allegations, including a fabricated story about Conrad using his vehicle’s OnStar service to have a seized phone wiped.
- The Second Fraudulent Warrant Petition
Evidence of Retaliation and Disparate Treatment
Adrienne Rockenhaus’s Formal Complaint (February 13, 2025):
- This is the detailed, 10-point complaint Adrienne filed with probation leadership. The severe escalation and retaliation, including the fraudulent warrant, began just after it was submitted.
- Formal Complaint Letter
The U.S. v. Jalen Johnson Case File (Proof of Disparate Treatment):
- These official court records show the same supervising officer, Jeffry Konal, responding to a different defendant’s repeated, admitted drug use (marijuana, codeine, morphine) with therapy and a summons—not a punitive, fraudulent arrest warrant. This is hard evidence of a retaliatory motive against Conrad.
- U.S. v. Jalen Johnson Case File
Official Third-Party Risk Agreement (August 23, 2023):
- A formal “Third-Party Risk Agreement” signed and acknowledged by Conrad’s initial, stable probation officer, LaMisha Rice. This official document formally approved Adrienne Rockenhaus (via her company, Cannabytes, LLC) as Conrad’s employer and authorized his use of company-owned devices for work purposes.
- Strategic Importance: This document proves that the arrangement Agapiou and Konal later attacked as a violation was, in fact, an officially sanctioned and reasonable solution to Conrad’s “impossible work condition.” It is the cornerstone evidence proving their actions were in bad faith.
- (Third Party Agreement)
Video and Audio Evidence
Video of the Traumatic Arrest (May 5, 2025):
- Security camera footage shows the raid on the family’s home, where U.S. Marshals held the couple at gunpoint and threatened them with a K-9 unit.

Audio Evidence of Retaliation by Chief Probation Officer
- This is the audio recording of a voicemail left by Chief U.S. Probation Officer Dion Thomas on the phone of Adrienne Rockenhaus’s ex-husband on February 20, 2025. This call was made just seven days after Adrienne filed her formal complaint against Officer Agapiou. In the voicemail, Chief Thomas deliberately uses Adrienne’s former name, an act of intimidation intended to signal that he had researched her personal life in response to her complaint.
- This recording is direct evidence that the retaliation against the Rockenhaus family was initiated and sanctioned from the very top of the Detroit probation office.
- Voicemail from Chief Dion Thomas (02-20-2025)
Video of Officer Agapiou Attempting Unannounced Entry:
- Security camera footage from an unannounced home visit showing Officer Agapiou attempting to open the family’s front door when they were not home.

Logs, Documents, Transcripts, and Records
Text Message Records Proving Knowledge of Hospitalization:
- Text messages between Adrienne Rockenhaus and Supervisor Jeffry Konal from February 2025, which prove his direct knowledge of Conrad’s hospitalization at the exact time he was preparing the fraudulent “absconder” warrant.
- (Full text records available to verified media upon request)
Text Message Records of “Cease Contact” Order Violation:
- Text messages from February 20, 2025, in which Officer Stylianos Agapiou acknowledges a formal “cease contact” order from Adrienne Rockenhaus, an order which he later violated on August 13, 2025.
- (Full text records available to verified media upon request)
Redacted Phone Records:
- Phone company records that disprove Officer Agapiou’s claims of non-communication and corroborate the timeline of events, including the initial notification to Chief Thomas of Conrad’s hospitalization.
- (Redacted records available to verified media upon request)
Medical Records of Hospitalization:
- Official medical records documenting Conrad Rockenhaus’s ambulance transport and subsequent inpatient psychiatric care at a Veteran Affairs facility during the period the U.S. Probation Office falsely claimed his “whereabouts were unknown”.
- (Redacted records available to verified media upon request)
Official Police Report for Identity Theft
- The official police report filed with local law enforcement, which documents the identity theft committed against Conrad and Adrienne Rockenhaus. This report directly refutes the probation office’s claim in the April 29, 2025, warrant that Conrad had opened new lines of credit.
- (Full, redacted report available to verified media upon request)
Conrad Rockenhaus’s Pro Se Motions to Remove Unethical Counsel
- After being fired for demanding an exorbitant sum of money after a large retainer was already paid, attorney Marc Lakin refused to withdraw from the case. This forced Conrad to act as his own attorney and file these motions directly with the court. The documents reference Lakin’s misconduct, which includes coercing the plea while possessing exculpatory evidence and threatening to prejudice the case. Conrad was forced to ask the judge to intervene and appoint new counsel.
- On August 29, 2025, Judge Stephen J. Murphy III “struck” these filings from the official court record, citing a procedural rule against a defendant representing themselves while they have an attorney of record. While no longer on the public docket, they are preserved here as a record of Conrad’s attempts to assert his Sixth Amendment right to effective counsel.
- Motion to Appoint Counsel (08-21-2025)
- Addendum to Motion Detailing Attorney Misconduct (08-27-2025)
Defense Summary & Exculpatory Evidence Provided to Counsel (May 7, 2025)
- This is the detailed, point-by-point rebuttal to the fraudulent April 29 warrant that was prepared for and sent to attorney Marc Lakin on May 7, 2025, a full six days before the hearing. The document provides the complete timeline of Conrad’s hospitalization, proof of restitution payments, the medical context for the drug screen. This file is the definitive proof that Lakin knowingly possessed comprehensive exculpatory evidence when he chose to ambush his client and coerce a guilty plea.
- Defense Summary Sent to Marc Lakin (05-07-2025)
Judge Murphy’s Order Striking Pro Se Filings (The “Procedural Trap”)
- This is the official court order, signed by Chief U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Murphy, III, on August 29, 2025, striking Conrad Rockenhaus’s handwritten pleas for a new lawyer from the official court record. This document is the cornerstone evidence of the “procedural trap” that directly led to the ongoing Sixth Amendment crisis.
- Strategic Importance: This confirms judicial awareness. The order itself proves that Judge Murphy was fully aware of the legal crisis on August 29th. He explicitly acknowledges in the order that Conrad stated he was “presently indigent” (even though he omits Conrad’s disabled status) and that his attorney, Marc Lakin, had “outright refused to file his motion to withdraw”.
- Creates the “Procedural Trap”: Despite knowing Conrad had been abandoned by his lawyer, Judge Murphy cited a rule against “hybrid representation” and refused to address the issue, postponing any decision until a hearing on September 30, 2025.
- Violates the Sixth Amendment: This decision left Conrad legally bound to an attorney who refused to act, while simultaneously making it impossible for him to hire a new one, a clear violation of his Sixth Amendment right to effective counsel.
- Direct Cause of the Crisis: This order is the direct cause of Conrad being unrepresented when he was violently arrested five days later, suffered a grand mal seizure in the courtroom, and was subsequently jailed with no legal advocate to address his urgent medical needs.
Vehicle OnStar Records:
- In his August 20, 2025, warrant petition, Officer Stylianos Agapiou fabricated a story that Conrad used his vehicle’s OnStar service to contact his wife and instruct her to wipe a seized phone. This claim is demonstrably false. OnStar has confirmed that official call logs can definitively prove whether this call was ever made. However, due to privacy policies, these records cannot be released to a private citizen and must be subpoenaed by the court.
- The family challenges the U.S. Attorney’s Office to subpoena these records to either verify or disprove their own officer’s sworn statement. A refusal to obtain this definitive evidence would suggest they are aware the records will not support his claim.

Official Restitution Payment Confirmations (June – August 2025)
- These are the official U.S. government (Pay.gov) payment confirmations proving that Conrad Rockenhaus’s restitution payments for June, July, and August 2025 were successfully submitted and processed. This evidence directly contradicts the sworn statement made by Officer Stylianos Agapiou in his August 20, 2025, warrant petition, where he falsely claimed that two payments were “invalid (bounced payments)”.

Official Transcript and Court Minutes Proving a Fabricated Violation:
- The official court transcript from a February 20, 2020, hearing in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In this transcript, Texas Probation Officer Tiffany Routh testifies under oath that Conrad Rockenhaus installed a “Linux operating system” that “wiped the monitoring software off of the computer.”
- This testimony, which directly led to his three-year pre-trial detention, was false. The software was a pre-approved SPICE graphics driver, not an operating system, and it did not, nor could it, wipe the monitoring software.
- The official court minutes from the hearing confirm the proceedings were about the “use of SPICE program.” The transcript also reveals the officer baselessly suggested Conrad might be accessing “dark web sites,” only to then admit under oath that she had no evidence to support this inflammatory claim.

Improper Ex Parte Communications with the Court of Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III:
- A series of letters containing false and malicious information sent by Ashley Luster, the ex-wife directly to the federal court in Texas, outside of official legal channels. The family alleges these improper communications, which a judge is ethically bound not to consider, were a primary factor in the decision to hold Conrad in pre-trial detention for three years.

Official Court Record of Improper Ex Parte Communications:
- Official court minutes from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas acknowledging that the presiding judge, Amos L.

Documented Medical Neglect and Withholding of Life-Sustaining Medication During Imprisonment:
- A collection of emails sent by Adrienne Rockenhaus in October and November 2021 to Conrad’s attorney (Walter Reaves), jail officials (Sheriff Botie Hillhouse, Sheriff Parnell McNamara), and oversight bodies (the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, the TDCJ Ombudsman, and the Texas Jail Project). These emails document her desperate, real-time pleas for help as jail staff repeatedly withheld Conrad’s life-sustaining seizure medication and other essential psychiatric prescriptions, constituting deliberate indifference and a violation of his constitutional rights.

The “No Tor” Mandate & The “Impossible Work Condition” (Official Judgment, September 6, 2022):
- This is the official Judgment from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas outlining the conditions of Conrad Rockenhaus’s supervised release. The document confirms his conviction was for a single count of “Intentional Damage To A Protected Computer” stemming from a dispute with a former employer. Despite the narrow scope of this offense, the court imposed two highly punitive special conditions that are central to the entire case:
- The “No Tor” Mandate: A special condition explicitly bans him from accessing the Tor network, an activity completely unrelated to his crime of conviction.
- The “Impossible Work Condition”: A standard condition mandates that he “must work full time (at least 30 hours per week)” at a lawful job. This directly contradicts the federal government’s own certifications from the VA and Social Security Administration that he is 100% medically disabled and unfit for work.

Official Statements
Statement from Adrienne Rockenhaus:
- “When I witnessed a federal officer engage in what I believed to be serious misconduct, I did what any citizen is supposed to do: I filed a detailed, formal complaint through the proper channels. The retaliation from the officer’s supervisors was immediate and terrifying, culminating in a traumatic raid on our home based on a warrant we can prove was fraudulent. This fight is not just about my husband; it’s about the right of every American to hold government officials accountable without having their family terrorized. We will not be intimidated into silence.”
Statement from Conrad Rockenhaus:
- “As a 100% disabled veteran, I was told that supervised release was a process to help me reintegrate into society. Instead, my disabilities, especially my Traumatic Brain Injury, have been used as weapons against me. The probation office has created an impossible situation, mandating that I work full-time while living on disability, and then actively sabotaging my ability to do so. We are fighting for a system that offers veterans justice and a real chance at rehabilitation, not one that exploits their vulnerabilities for the sake of punishment.”
