From a Probate Victim in Florida–Theresa Lyles and her story, an affidavit of terror

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

From Ms. Theresa Lyles, another probate victim in Florida, for being terrorized by the probate court system there, and I believe Judge Genden, Barbara Stone’s abusive judge:

IN THE COUNTY COURT OF THE 8’h JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR ALACHUA
COUNTY, FLORIDA
AFFIDAVIT
I, Teresa A. Lyles, after being duly sworn deposed and states to the best of my own personal knowledge and belief hereby state the following:
1. I am an interested party in the matter of the Guardianship of Carmen Tozzo, (hereafter referred to as “My Family Member”) who is my mother and who currently resides in Ocala, Florida. and is currently being held at Memory Lane (a lock-down facility).
2. My Family Member, was placed into a court ordered guardianship on the date 6th day of June 2011 ( emergency temporary gship- Bonnie DiVito),  November, 2011 (1 51 plenary – Marilyn ‘Lynn’ Belo), 16th day of August…

A change in the right direction for NSA–follow the law

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

From an Atlantic article wherein a NSA admitted that they had provided “cute” or “aggressive” interpretations of the law to wrongfully expand their spying abiltites:

http://news.yahoo.com/nsas-director-civil-liberties-renounces-secret-law-110951711.html

If the NSA can admit that what they did was wrong (spying on everyone without a court order or only rubber stamped court orders) this will be a step in the right direction.

The courts are also there to funnel the efforts of agencies so that American taxpayers are not spending too much for spying efforts.  Qui Tam action, anyone?

For those of you Pro-Se’ers out there, a great decision from Florida helping a pro se woman denied guardianship

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

http://www.dailybusinessreview.com/id=1202716740634/Legal-Aid-Supporters-Point-to-Guardianship-Case?slreturn=20150103154101

This poor woman was denied guardianship, it was scheduled on a day she could not attend court, then she started filing a flury of pleadings to present her side of the case.

The probate judge responded by barring her from coming to court and filing pleadings!

As most of you know from this blog, it is my position that pro se people are citizens that actually own and pay for the court system, so such rulings are an unconstitutional insult and an Abuse of Power.

Fortunately, the court of appeals turned one of her “writes” into a Notice of Appeal and then reversed that judge.  They acknowldeged there are far too few lawyers for low and middle class citizens to present their cases, esp. in probate.  While they think solving the problem is a $100 per year increase in bar dues to fund legal aide, it is the experience…

From Ken Ditkowsky — US Judges see “EPIDEMIC” of prosecutorial misconduct in state convictions

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Subject: from “me”
From this story:
A 2010 report by the Northern California Innocence Project cited 707 cases in which state courts found prosecutorial misconduct over 11 years. Only six of the prosecutors were disciplined, and the courts upheld 80% of the convictions in spite of the improprieties, the study found.
Let’s hear it for Project Innocence which has the guts to bring the truth to print. Those are shameful statistics indeed

From Atty Barbara Stone and Live Leak–the bribing of US judges is a serious crime and RICO

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a7a_1339236641

This article gives the theory, examples of cases against courts and judges, and how to plead a case in a corrupt court system.

There are plenty of case law examples and citations to get any plaintiff going that has experienced severe fraud and corruption in court.  From the article:

WHAT DID CHIEF JUDGE OF THE US COURT OF APPEALS, 5TH CIRCUIT, SAY ABOUT THE US JUSTICE SYSTEM?

* “The American legal system has been corrupted almost beyond recognition…”

Chief Judge, US Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit, Edith Jones, speaking before the Federalist Society of Harvard Law School (February 2003)

Civil RICO–From the Congressional Records–RICO for probate actions, it is possible?

Speaker: Mr. CONYERS

Text

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Espy). Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Conyers] is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, which I am privileged to Chair, has been carefully looking into calls for Civil RICO reform by various segments of the business community, chiefly the securities and banking industries and the accounting profession. I rise to discuss the development and rationale behind the current untenable position of the Department of Justice in this most important debate.
I
On September 30, 1985, Phillip D. Brady, acting Assistant Attorney General, of the Department informed me by letter that a prior criminal conviction requirement would not be “the best approach to limiting the scope of Civil RICO.”
On July 22, 1986, Assistant Attorney John R. Bolton, of the Department informed by letter the…

JoAnne, can you publish this?
###########################################
My contact with Kamala Harris’s office was relevant to bundled reports that were sent into that office a few years back by one Marilyn Peters, documenting criminal activity by professional guardians in California. As Harris’s office stated that she doesn’t “do probate,” I requested the legal authority under which the Attorney General for California is allowed to ignore criminal activity by professional guardians.
Sending me a letter issued in 2007 does not address my request to your office.
On the phone a couple of minutes ago, you told me that your office was declining to answer that question. As it is my understanding that there is no legal authority which allows you to ignore these complaints—and you continue to ignore these complaints–…

Press Release from Tim Lahrman that Fannie Mae is in receivership…..

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

and that means a good defense to many of you embroiled in Foreclosures since if a bank sold a mortgage to Fannie Mae and Fannie Mae is in receivership, that means the servicing agent must get the permission of the receiver to file and prosecute a foreclosure, which is never done, at least to my knowledge.

So, don’t be shy and explore this option with your foreclosure attorney if you are in foreclosure.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 22, 2015
Elkhart County Indiana: A WARD’S LAMENT
A ‘ward’ is a person or entity who has, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, been placed under conservatorship/guardianship, and in a clash of two opposing wardships an Indiana resident under guardianship has sued Fannie Mae who is under conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
On January 20, 2015, Indiana resident Tim Lahrman filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the…

From Texas–changes to the guardianship laws

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

First the story:

http://watchdogwire.com/texas/2013/04/19/texas-guardianship-bill-seeks-to-close-current-due-process-loophole/

Now the most interesting quote:

A stream of witnesses told emotional guardianship horror stories alleging total disregard of any due process by the courts, denial of access to loved ones and expensive legal battles stemming from

questionable court actions.

While apparently the law did not pass, apparently there is much, much malcontent down in Texas on guardianship issues.  From the comments I get, it is the same here.  Illinois has a great law, the Illinois Probate Act, but for some Judges and court connected attorneys and agencies, it is in pristine condition, because apparently it is little used and quoted in the Illinois courtrooms.

Ruby Peterson–3rd Amended Complaint for an Injunction

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

From Candice Schwager in Texas, some great ideas for an injunction against harming disableds by targeting them, forcing them to live in a nursing home and then selling assets to pay court connected attorneys fees and nursing home fees, draining the estate and then plan of final demise via drugs and despondency:
