Mr. Steve Wilson is currently incarcerated in an Ohio correctional institution. He appeals pro se from a judgment re-sentencing him after merging his domestic violence and felonious assault as allied offenses of similar import. To do so, he is challenging the courts jurisdiction over him along with five other [ultimately meritless] claims.
He was found guilty of assault, abduction and domestic violence after physically abusing a victim at her home over the course of a weekend. The abuse culminated in him pouring hot grease on her back. He received a 19 year sentence.
He had a resentencing hearing in February 2021. At that time, he represented himself and claimed his name to be “Diuus Indiges El” and that he was not in fact Mr. Wilson but instead his representative. He told the court “I represent Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson is a corporate entity, a legal entity. This is not me. I’m a living soul wrapped in flesh and blood. I exist.”
He also contends that he is a “Moorish American, Aboriginal and Indigenous, Living Soul wrapped in flesh and blood, opposite [his person], corporate PERSON, artificial PERSON, Legal Fiction, Legal entity…” and much more.
He also told the court that he objected to the courts jurisdiction to resentencing, requested to see the trial court “letter of delegation of authority” from the Supreme Court, insisted that the judge had “no judicial power” because no such power had been granted to him by the U.S. Congress.
He also told the court that they had to prove “physical jurisdiction over [his] physical existence, [his] living soul, complained about the trial court’s not being an article III court under the United States Constitution and there being “no such thing as statutory jurisdiction.” He requested “to speak to the state of Ohio” instead of the prosecutor as the prosecutor was not the actual state of Ohio itself but was a representative of the state.
The court noted that his arguments were meritless and confirmed the judgment of a previous court.
