From FB–the Law on Jurors. Can they lie?

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Everyone’s see the Juror form.  It asks prospective jurors if they have been accused or convicted of a crime or involved in litigation.

What about the juror that lies?  Can a criminal serve on a jury?  A lying criminal?

Here is the law to use on lying jurors:

” Fraud upon the court” has been defined by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to “embrace that species of fraud which does, or attempts to, defile the court itself, or is a fraud perpetrated by officers of the court so that the judicial machinery can not perform in the usual manner its impartial task of adjudging cases that are presented for adjudication.” Kenner v. C.I.R., 387 F.3d 689 (1968); 7 Moore’s Federal Practice, 2d ed., p. 512, ¶ 60.23. The 7th Circuit further stated “a decision produced by fraud upon the court is not in essence a decision at all, and…

From E.Federova: Lanre Amu’s corrupt ARDC case remains unresolved

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

As many of you have noted, there is nothing more foul smelling and pernicious to our society than a licensed corrupt lawyer.

Lanre Amu is an honest lawyer who was serving the poor and immigrant. His license was stripped away from him when all he did was point out corruption in the courts.  He did nothing wrong.  In fact, when Chicago Crain’s Business investigated, they found even more corruption on the part of Judge Lynn Egan.

Why isn’t Lanre Amu reinstated with honors and why is Lynn Egan still sitting on the bench?

Go ask Presiding Judge Timmothy Evans, Jerome Larkin and all the other corrupt ARDC lawyers that signed petitions and prosecuted innocent Lanre Amu.

Joanne

Case:  ARDC v. Amu.  Corrupt lawyers involved:  Robert Verrando, Jerome Larkin, Debra J. Braselton, Andrea D. Rice, Donald D. Torisky

My case, corrupt lawyers:  Melissa Smart, Sharon Opryszek, Sang-yul Lee
Ziad Alnaqib, Jerome Larkin, Stephen Splitt.

From Ken and Judy Ditkowsky–home health care fraud flourishes in Chicago

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

It appears that Judy found a Chicago Tribune article that is worth reading, to wit:
 
The article unfortunately did not reference the four GAO reports to Congress,  the umpteen disclosures in the Probate Sharks, NASGA, AAAPG, MaryGSykes blog, the Philip Esformes bullion dollar fraud case, etc.    The authors are reinventing the wheel; however, it is an important start and an update on exactly where we are in the human trafficking scandal.    (As reference point we are one meter into the 250 meter dash! and every one is reinventing the wheel)
 
Even though the Philip Esformes case was covered by the Chicago Tribune, and the Seth Gillman case received mention the “media investigators” failed to build on what should have been learned from the said cases.
 
Maybe our best hope is the Department of Treasury (Internal Revenue Service).    The trillion dollars in ‘booty’ that…

From Ken Ditkowsky–Federal Report shows that Illinois leads in nursing home abuses cases

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

It would be very nice to be naive.   A naive person could believe that the ARDC is interested in protecting the public from dishonest lawyers.   A naive person would believe the words and phrases of Chicago’s mayor.    A naive person would believe that words of the candidates for governor and in particular believe that ‘fat man’ who tots his difficult childhood as the child of billionaires!   A naive person would believe that Chicago elections are honest and every vote counts!    **** Indeed, it would be nice to have just fallen off the cabbage truck!   BUT SUCH IS NOT THE CASE.
If I was ever naive, I was cured of the disease shortly after I received my law license and a Judge called my home and stated: “THE BID IS 5”    Of course I had no idea what he was talking about, BUT I SOON LEARNED.   I came…

From FB: What is up with our Cook County Board–Tim Evans sues Preckwinkle?!?!

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/editorial-is-lady-justice-under-attack-or-is-this-a-county-turf-war/

This is absolutely ridiculous.  With filing fees reaching $400 per case and the system being mostly computerized, how is it that the court system needs more money.

I think Evans should be suing Dorothy Brown to fully computerized the court system, put recording devices in every courtroom, provide computers to transcribe and put everything online like Pacer for 8 cents per page.

Pacer must be raking in millions.

The Federal Court system isn’t struggling, so why is Cook County so screwed up?

The key to all of this is getting rid of non tech savvy anyone in the court system and automating everything.

The beverage tax was a disaster.  The bag tax is just as bad.

What they really want (the Mayor and the Cook County President) is a tax on breathing Cook County air, so just go ahead and do that.

Subject: Fw: Re: MARY G SYKES
Date: Dec 6, 2017 10:59 AM
IT APPEARS THAT THE SYKES CASE STILL LIVES!
Few cases involve the infamy that this particular case has.   IT IS A MONUMENT TO PUBLIC CORRUPTION that is heretofore unmasked in American jurisprudence.    Indeed, judicial corruption has been exposed before, but, few cases match Sykes.
Please let me explain  –  The record documents in this case are replete with irrefutable evidence of FRAUD.     The miscreants were open and notorious in their misbehavior – in fact they were proud of it.    Let’s start with the service of summons.
Mary Sykes sought an order of protection from the person names as plenary guardian because she caught that person alleging stealing several thousand dollars from her.   The plenary guardian countered by filing a Petition for guardianship…

From KKD: New Chicago Task force for Health Care Fraud Formed

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

With Chicago being a major center for health care fraud (see the tales of death of Jay Brouckmeersch, murdered in probate, Mary Sykes, Dorothy Baker, Helen Rector, Alan Frake, etc.) this comes as no surprise:

United States Attorney’s Office in Chicago Creates New Unit to Prosecute Criminal Health Care Fraud Violations

CHICAGO — Joel R. Levin, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, today announced the creation of a new unit dedicated to the prosecution of criminal health care fraud violations.

The newly created Health Care Fraud Unit will operate within the office’s Criminal Division. The unit will be tasked with prosecuting defendants in all types of health care fraud, from providers who engage in fraudulent billing schemes to doctors who falsify patients’ diagnoses to justify expensive tests or procedures that aren’t medically necessary.

“Every year, health care fraud causes millions of dollars in losses…

From Joanne; a belated Thanksgiving and prays for all of you who have been isolated from your grandparents, siblings and children thru wrongful state action

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Dear Readers;

I have heard from many of you who cannot see their own grandparents, parents and even children due to wrongful state actions.  Rest assured you have been in my thoughts and prayers as we battle Elder Cleansing, State and Medical Kidnap and Wrongful Custody cases in the court system.

BP still cannot see his new born child. DCFS is withholding the child from him.  His attorney has asked that the child be immediately returned, but the Juvenile (travesty of justice) court system refuses to do anything, instead putting a good father through a rat maze of spur of the moment drug tests, endless parenting classes and inspections and all sorts of what not.  He has not be charged with anything, no complaints have been filed against him, but on the day his infant son was set to be discharged from the hospital, DCFS swooped in and removed the…

Question from AD: How to write a proper Brief and Motion

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

How to write a Motion and Brief in Support of your Motion

First and I cannot emphasize this enough–check the rules first and again when your brief and motion is done.  In every jurisdiction, there may be numerous sets of rules and laws that apply to Briefs and Motion.  Federal Court is easiest at maybe one or two sets of Rules.  Illinois State Court is a pain because there’s the Supreme Court Rules, the Illinois Rules of Civil Procedure the State legislature passes, then each County can have rules, and then each local court building can have rules, particular Divisions can have rules and of course each Judge can have rules on the judge’s website so you have to check everywhere before you file a motion.

The Motion is generally drafter after the Brief, and contains a short (2 to 3) page synopsis of your Brief, hitting all the most…

NEW: Owner of nursing home where 8 died linked to Medicare fraud case

John McCall

Police surround the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, owned by Larkin hospital President Jack Michel. The nursing home had no air conditioning after Hurricane Irma knocked out power. Several patients at the sweltering nursing home died in Hurricane Irma’s aftermath, raising fears Wednesday about the safety of Florida’s 4 million senior citizens amid widespread power outages that could go on for days. (John McCall/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP)

The hospital co-owned by a Florida doctor whose nursing home was the site of eight deaths last week is linked to the biggest Medicare fraud case ever filed against individuals in U.S. history, court records show.

Neither Larkin Community Hospital nor its president, Dr. Jack Michel, is named…
