Mr. Eason:  Is there any good reason why you didn't bother telling us any of the following HIGHLY RELEVENT things:

1. That this conviction occurred over nine years ago?

2. That your conviction resulted from your mother kidnapping your child from a caregiver appointed by the child's mother -- an incident that resulted in gun fight in which you were found to have shot at least one person?

3. That, following your conviction, you appealed, that the Court of Appeals affirmed your conviction, and that the Supreme Court of Virginia declined to hear your petition for further appeal?

4. That, in December 2014, the state circuit court denied your petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and that the Virginia Supreme Court denied your petition for appeal?

5. That, in October 2016, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted the respondent's motion to dismiss your federal petition for writ of habeas corpus?

6. That, in August 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed your appeal of the District Court's ruling (and also denied your subsequent petition for rehearing en banc), and that, in October 2018, the United States Supreme Court denied your petition for a writ of certiorari (and also denied your petitions for rehearing)?

Four different courts have made a determination on the merits that there was nothing improper with your conviction, and two other courts passed on the opportunity for further review.  It's over.
