and cannot be stopped on the internet, which is free and open and democratic, despite the protests, the shameful conduct of attorneys and judges acting badly and trying to stop those that speak out against harm to the elderly and disabled!

Sandra’s Family Needs a Lawyer

Donate below, or forward this email to a friend now.

As the ARDC gets ready to suspend one of the only truly low cost or pro bono defense lawyers in probate, Sandra Black and her family are looking for assistance too.

I hope a good pro bono lawyer comes to their assistance to help them out.

Let us know how it goes, Sandra.

Take a good look at this incredible story of gross abuse of human and civil rights.

The judge and prosecutor who did this to this man are an outrage.

I would have thought the story came from downstate Illinois where we have one man, Lyle Harrison held for 90 days on civil contempt for lousy pro se fillings?  (can anyone drive down my emergency motion to the 4th district court of appeals tomorrow to release him?)

but this is clearly outrageous.

I wonder if the woman was under a guardianship.

I’m glad tho someone is watching out for this problem.  Far too many psychotropic drugs are being sold to nursing homes.  It’s time the nursing homes are being checked for psychotropic drug toxicities and elders are getting autopsies and toxin screens, even at the age of 98, it’s still not right to poison grandma with psychotropic drugs and narcotics to keep her docile.

I don’t know DUI in Illinois, but maybe someone does know all the DUI case law so feel free to dispute this link.

This link is for Florida only, but I think it would work great in Illinois.

DUI check points are actually the police looking for expired registrations and stickers and all that, broken tail lights, arrest warrants, seized cars, etc.   They are basically a revenue generator.  But I have seen posts where a car’s plates or license was expired and the police left entire families out in the cold to walk home, whadda bunch of jerks.

They are best to avoid.  Feel free to turn around and take an alternate route when you see one.  And keep this flyer in the car.  The lawyer is right, there are no officer friendlies, only a guy trying for a promotion or raise.

And of course, the complaint goes no where and there is no relief from the Client Protection Program because the ARDC runs it (according to this article) in a willy nilly fashion….

See below and good catch by Joe Dubow.  The ARDC should have paid this claim pronto and helped the family get a good lawyer to get their money back. This, the ARDC does not do.  They discipline Ken and myself for speaking out, but then they need good experienced lawyers who have represented clients for low cost or free (Ken and myself) and who do sue clients for fees (ditto).

ABC7 I-Team Investigation

CHICAGO (WLS) —

The ABC7 I-Team investigated a lawyer who stole more than $1.2 million from his clients, and the victims who say they want some of their money back from an organization designed to protect them.

Judges are supposed to have a poker face and mouth and are supposed to thank witnesses and jurors for their service, no matter the outcome, and not comment on the case.

Apparently this judge blew it.

Ohio Judge Reprimanded After Berating Jurors For Acquitting Criminal Defendant

A judge is not the press, she or he is the trier of fact and law and is not supposed to roll eyes, sigh, make dumb comments, etc. in the courtroom.

I know that many of you experience it and you have to report it to the Judicial Inquiry Board (addresses on this website) when you see it.

Also, attorneys are not to be in the judge’s private area, nor are they to be having exparte conversations with opposing counsel.

So today in court I had another rarified peek at what is really going on on the 18th floor to ensure that the OPG gets every juicy case it can muster.  Eminent domain, move over.

The war was escalated.  They gave my client 2 weeks for discovery, 10 days to file witness lists (how can you list your witnesses when you have a 14 day discovery period???), another attorney never gave my client the order, she missed the deadline, the court today banned all of her witnesses and her expert witnesses (they were so ruthless they banned her rebuttal witnesses, imagine that), the court is running well past the 120 day deadline for a temp guardianship…..blah blah blah.  The judge said she would not entertain a 183 motion for an extension of time during the last 3 court appearances.

So what did they do?  they sealed the hearing and all…

Urgent need.  Any amount would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much and God Bless.
