Good Ol’ Boy Arkansas Sheriff Has Crooked Judge’s Back

Judge Susan Weaver in Searcy County Arkansas is making a habit of transferring assets from old womens’ trusts to her favored attorney’s clients (and therefore to her favored attorney).

She did this to me. I could not find an attorney in Arkansas willing to represent the trust. Literally, I was told “I will never win a case in front of Judge Weaver again, if I represent you or the trust.” [paraphrased, closely]

I get why Judge Susan Weaver and Attorney William Zac White would benefit from making these transfers.

But what is in it for Searcy County Sheriff Kenney Cassell? (Mr. Cassell sometimes uses “Kenny” so I’ll switch back and forth like him to help with SEO.)

The Sheriff had a recording of Mr. White’s client, Mike Pietrczak, calling the law while sloppy drunk. Mr. Pietrczak said something like: Come get this bitch. When the deputy asked what I did wrong, Pietrczak repeated that I was “a bitch”. When the deputy asked if I said anything threatening, Pietrczak said no.

Eventually I got on the phone. I was not drunk. In fact, I abstained from alcohol out of sympathy for my alcoholic boyfriend.

The deputy told me I should go stay in my office in Marshall, a 30-minute drive on a good day. This was not a good day. The roads were covered in snow and ice. The deputy told me the safest way to drive in these conditions, taking the dirt backroads. The deputy said that after Pietrczak ran out of booze and sobered up, he would call me apologetically and ask me to come home.

The deputy’s prophesy came true.

I made a Freedom of Information Act request for the recording. Sheriff Cassell’s crew had purged the tape.

Before the hearing of March 17, 2022 where Judge Weaver said she was transferring all the trust property to Mr. Pietrczak and attorney Zac White, Zac screamed at me in the courthouse. “Shut your mouth bitch!” Sheriff Cassell was in the room with me. Mr. White was in a different room. Judge Weaver was also in the small courthouse. Mr. White was not restrained by Sheriff Cassell or any of the three deputies who were there to protect…???

Later, in the courtroom during the hearing, with the full team of sheriffs present, Mr. William Z. White again called me “bitch”. He leaned toward me and spoke loud enough for two 70+ year-olds in the audience to hear.

Judge Weaver ignored the slur. So too, the big ape Cassell who masquerades as a good Christian man.

The Sheriff and Deputies stood there, watching the kangaroo court. They heard the judge shut me down any time I tried to object to impermissible evidence. Not that the judge overruled my objections. She demanded that I not object at all. She also said that if I testified, I would be practicing law unauthorized.

After this surreal and horrifying hearing ended, I pled with Sheriff Kenny Cassell to do something…anything in the pursuit of justice. I told him Pietrczak had lied on the stand. Perjury. I told him that the judge and attorney White had conspired with the court reporter in the past to fabricate what was said and not said in court. I spoke to Kenney Cassell directly and then to a young deputy at the station.

Nothing was done.

I know Kenny Cassell has a pleasant demeanor. He is a heck of a guy to go to a bar-b-que with. He will give you a firm handshake at church on Sunday.

But he is the man like that who watched as Nazis stole property from Jews and then sent the Jews off to concentration camps. Kenny Cassell is the man like that who looked at the captives beseeching him for help, gave a sympathetic pout and shrugged, palms up and shaking his helpless head.

Judge Weaver is evil. But those who stand by and let her get away with it are a special brand of puke.
