She’s 90 and wants to live at home. A guardian put her house up for sale. What’s next?

Ela Avila outside the Little Havana house where she has lived for nearly 40 years.

Ela Avila, a 90-year-old retired uniform maker on food stamps, is in the second year of her fight against a court-appointed guardian who controls Avila’s money, housing decisions and medical care.

It’s a battle over small decisions — like when Avila says she can’t get enough cash to visit a hair stylist. And big ones — like when the guardian, Zaidis Alvarez, listed Avila’s Little Havana home for sale last year against her wishes.

“I don’t want her,” Avila said in Spanish during a recent interview with the Miami Herald in her home of 35 years. “I get sick every time she comes here.”

While Avila doesn’t want…

From TW: The Williamson case just get worse and worse–Tonny and Penny Williamson arrested at noon for Financial Elder Abuse when in fact they were the only ones caring for Fred Stegall the last year of his life

MaryGSykes.com

We all know how vindictive probate and guardianship court can be and we know how horrid the attorneys and judges can be, but this is beyone the pale.

Fred Stegall was a 90 year old former veteran, and and Tonny and Penny knew him as a dear family friend for years and years since they were young girls. Over the years they kept in touch.

Until one day when some persons in town drug him to a lawyer and insisted he leave all his property to the Catholic Church and Galesburg Rifle Club. While the reasons for this are unknown, often charities are used to hide the theft of smaller amount of money that can be taken more easily and surreptitiously.

In this case, Fred had acres of timberland on his farm that could easily and secretly be logged for hundreds of thousands of dollars and no one would know…

From AE: Pitfalls of going to court for Pro Se litigants

MaryGSykes.com

This post will be about some issues when you appear pro se and how to avoid those issues.

  1. If you are sick, you still have to appear on your court date. Court will still continue and this is always a great time to DWP (dismiss for want of prosecution) your case, or even worse, enter some horrible order against you. Under Supreme Court Rule 45 you can appear by phone and on zoom. Let the court know as soon as possible.
  2. Always have a court reporter if you can possibly afford one and get your transcripts promptly. Sorry to say, I am still hearing complaints that transcripts come back materially altered in Illinois and these complaints are recent, not a part of the past. As what happened at my ARDC trial, the court reporter promised she would not change the transcripts but she did just that and the ARDC still…

Questions unanswered after suburban nursing home left unstaffed

EMBED <>MORE VIDEOS

Those who had loved ones in a Lincolnshire nursing home when it was left unstaffed are angry and have unanswered questions.

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. (WLS) –Anger abounds and questions remain unanswered after people reported no medical staff were on duty Monday at a Lincolnshire nursing home.

A family member of a relative inside the former Warren Barr nursing home said it was like walking into a disaster zone on Monday when he said there were no medical staff on-site to care for patients.

As the state health department investigates any possible wrong-doing, families said they just want transparency from the new owners about what’s going to happen to their loved ones.

“It’s indescribable and inconceivable that there was nobody…

From PW & TW–links to videos that show they were beloved by Fred Stegall

MaryGSykes.com

Two weeks ago, a jury in Knox County, Illinois found testamentary documents leaving farmland to Penny and Tonny Williamson were invalid due to fraud and coercion.

But those documents are not and the case is up on appeal. The jurors were mistaken and Decedent Fred clearly loved Penny and Tonny Williamson, as evidenced by these videos:

  1. Penny and Tonny can always stay with me.

From PW/TW: Using the new Knox County Rule you can wear caps in court and t-shirts emblazoned with lettering

MaryGSykes.com

So yesterday we learned from former attorney and judge Harry Bulkeley that the times have changed and now you can wear hats in court and tshirts emblazoned with lettering. (See blog post from yesterday)

Seems to be inappropriate to me and grounds for a mistrial because some jurors on some days wore camo hats and tshirt obviously to show support for the Galesburg Gun Club and some jurors on some days wore tshirts with OSF or Order of St Francis which is a division of the Catholic Church/Diocese of Peoria emblazoned on it.

Even in the Circuit Court of Cook County none of that would ever happen.

However, since the jurors did it and no one said anything in court, today Penny and Tonny Williamson went to appear on zoom, one in camo tshirt and a hat with a large cross on it and the other with clothing with crosses…

From TW: Galesburg newspaper presents patent cover up of corruption in Knox County Court System

MaryGSykes.com

While this blog is investigating the strange and mysterious rulings of Judge Curtis Lane fueled by John Robertson and Paul Mangieri, out of no where comes a glowing article on the Williamson case wherein 150 acres of a home, farmland and timberland was taken from two elderly Christian ladies who were good lifelong friends of Frederick Stegall in Galesburg.

Apparently this is a weak and strange coverup of the nefarious activities in Knox County, IL court system.

So read on and let me know if anyone else has had their local newspapers publish strange and out of character articles in order to cover up crimes against the innocent in probate.

I’m sure it goes on.

Your turn: Our system of laws is still in good hands

From DS: Wonderful Decision in Marjorie Ivy Case–Marjorie’s death was intention says trial court probate judge McGuire

MaryGSykes.com

Here is the decision:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vRl0KO8iYntuoBY5pKK0Sd5db0a1r2Qh/view?usp=share_link

The decision was fair and well reasoned. The estate of Mordecai Faskowitz (the murderer) will NOT benefit from the horrendous stabbing death of Marjorie Ivy! (Not long before their deaths, Miriam Solo Greenfield prepared testamentary documents leaving Mordecai’s assets to her son. Miriam Solo was the sister of Mordecai.) Mordecai stabbed poor Marjorie 40 times, slit her throat and then “sliced her” to be sure she was dead.

Some important excerpts from this case:

On October 3,2013, during a well-being check, Chicago police officers discovered the
body of Marjorie G. Ivy (“Decedent” or “Marjorie”). It was later determined that her death was the result of homicide committed by her long-term partner, Mordechai Faskowitz (“Mordechai”).
The criminal court proceeding found that Mordechai was not guilty by reason of insanity
(“NGRI”) for causing Marjorie’s death.

On May 16, 2014, Judge Karen O’Malley (“Judge O’Malley”) named Marjorie’s nephew,

From TW: what is going on? Knox County IL search for a case not functioning 2 days?

MaryGSykes.com

As many of you are well aware, having no access to court documents, even the docket sheet is a serious and flagrant method of corruption. Changing the docket sheet and verbiage allows corruption to flourish.

This is especially crucial when 95% of all Illinois counties do not have their court documents on line. Insist that this change. It is not at all difficult to put all documents, not just the docket sheet online.

Here is the link to the 9th judicial court circuit in Illinois and no one has been able to link to it since 2 days.

Please email me or call me if you can get through
