When I was 47, I hooked up with a broke 38-year-old who was freshly released from prison where he had served a year for using a fake identification at the US – Mexico border while driving a stolen vehicle.

He was a good-looking younger man. But I honestly fell in love with him based on his words and his actions. He acted like a Boy Scout. I had an inkling that the story he was telling me about his past was not true. And it wasn’t.

My instincts were right, but I erred in the wrong direction. I thought Micheal Pietrczak might have worked undercover and was in prison to infiltrate the criminal population. Really, he was a fraudster, living the cliche of convincing an older Christian woman that he was equally “in love”.

Unfortunately, Pietrczak was a raging alcoholic, in recovery when we met. He lost his sobriety after a couple years together. Then he made my life miserable.

My faith led me to stay with the alcoholic for about four more years, doing all in my power to support his recovery.

Finally, when Pietrczak was openly engaging in sex with prostitutes, using my money, I left him.

I was willing to give him half the assets we accumulated, using hundreds of thousands of dollars of my money and both our labor. I was even willing to give him $75,000 extra if it went into a trust that was not controlled by his father.

Here are two emails I sent to Micheal Pietrczak’s first attorney, Billy Jack Gibson, who is now a judge.

That was not enough for Mike Pietrczak, his father Walter and their attorney William White of Heber Springs. They conspired to accept my payments under the pretense that Pietrczak was grateful, all the while knowing they were going to sue me for three times the amount. Here is one signed letter planning the fraud.

I wrote a counterclaim to the lawsuit William Z. White filed but did not serve on me. (I found the complaint on my own, while doing other research.)

Judge Weaver dismissed my counterclaim. There was no motion to dismiss. In fact, there was no answer at all to the counterclaim. I had filed for default judgment, which Judge Weaver denied. Instead, she gave a general reason, that she noticed the counterclaim did not comply with Rule 8, and dismissed it.

The conspirators named “Rural Revival Living Trust” as a defendant as well. I am trustee of the trust.

Trusts must be represented by attorneys. So far, I have not found an attorney brave enough to go up against Judge Weaver, who appears to have a bias against me. (The trust was going to pay $300 per hour to its attorney, but now is willing to hire an attorney on contingency only.)

Even though Judge Weaver saw the same evidence posted above, she held a kangaroo court on March 17, 2022, in which she forbid me from advocating for my own interests, presenting more evidence of the Pietrczak fraud, or object to things like Mr. White leading the witness. I was forced to watch Judge Weaver, Mr. White, and Mr. Pietrczak lie about me, Laura Lynn Hammett, without rebutting a word.

This judge, the same woman who dismissed my counterclaim sua sponte, meaning on her own without notice, did not put the trustee of the trust on the witness stand and try to reach the truth of the matter. Though she did ask the plaintiff questions, such as how much the property worth is, without challenging his answers.

Judge Weaver gave a convicted felon carte blanche to take all the assets in the trust, which was title to a 40-acre parcel and cabin. The conspirators claimed the value of the property was about $150,000 in court. Mr. White wrote an email two days later saying the bidding on the property will start at $350,000.

A written order has not been signed yet.

Attorney William White wrote a proposed order in which the Court “finds” that Laura Lynn Hammett committed the unauthorized practice of law. That is a crime, and Judge Weaver specifically said she was not charging me with the crime during the March hearing. I certainly was not given an opportunity to defend against the false claim.

Mr. White also wrote that the “Rural Revival Living Trust knew or should have known that Hammett is not a licensed attorney and that she is prevented from preparing legal documents on behalf of Pietrczak and/or the Rural Revival Living Trust.”

So, White claims that I could not represent the trust on legal issues but should have known and made a legal decision for the trust that it was illegal to represent the trust on legal issues.

As an afterthought, the fraudsters asked the judge to approve a trust be formed for Michael Pietrczak’s benefit, and to transfer the assets he defrauded from me as an individual into the new trust. This looks to me like, if Judge Susan Weaver puts her stamp of approval on the proposed order, I will become the victim of a fraudulent transfer that is ordered by a judge who knows the transfer is fraudulent.

Is this what We the People want for the State of Arkansas, a “Red State”, a predominantly Christian state? That we have judges who proclaim “Praise Jesus” in public posts, then transfer old ladies’ trust property by default to an admitted fraudster?
