Why is Laura Lynn Hammett not Writing on Her Court Corruption Blog?

My Dear Readers,

I will miss our one-sided conversations as much as you do, but my family needs my time right now. My son had a serious accident at work. He miraculously survived, but prayers for a full recovery are appreciated. I need to visit him in the hospital and help care for my granddaughter. I will need to make this blog a low priority for now.

My reply brief was due on a case against First American Home Warranty Corporation today.

What I wrote was not my best work, but I managed to file before 1 p.m. The crazy thing is that the clerk did not accept and input it. The clerk did not send a notification of any errors nor reason for non-acceptance, either. Is it something I said?

You be the judge. UPDATE: The clerk accepted and filed my document at 8:09 a.m. the morning after this post was published. It was file stamped when received yesterday at 12:46 p.m.

The Court’s Competency Evaluators of Deobra Redden Might Just Be the Incompetents.

Swipe opposite the arrows. WARNING! OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE.

There are well educated, hardworking, middleclass people who laugh at the video of Deobra Redden leaping over the bench to attack Judge Mary Kay Holthus. There are people of different skin colors, people who live in different states and different countries, who don’t find this to be a black and white issue. Pardon the double entendre.

People ask what came over this 30-year-old (chronological age) man, to cause him to do such a dangerous, illegal, and ill-advised act. (With his defense attorney standing there, looking impotent!)

Here are some FREE Docs of the day that shed a small light on the subject. I am starting to work on my second book and will probably give an in-depth analysis of the issues that resulted in this bizarre behavior in the book. Stay tuned.

It appears that the athletic young man was named after another Deobra Redden, who I will call Namesake. Namesake was charged with attempted murder in 1993, maybe before the younger Redden was born. The charges were dismissed.

Namesake was convicted on misdemeanor drug charges.

Namesake also had legal problems of a financial nature.

Deodra’s had another caretaker who had financial legal problems.

Our young Deodra reportedly found his way into the foster care system.

When he became a man, chronologically, he started racking up a record.

Mr. Redden and Judge Holthus first met when Mr. Redden was charged with malicious destruction of property.

Eventually there was a court determination that Mr. Redden might be incompetent. He was tested and committed to a mental health facility, Lakes Crossing.

That was about seven months ago.

The taxpayers must have gotten their money’s worth from Lakes Crossing, because a mere five months later, 29 years of trauma, poverty and neglect were erased from Mr. Redden’s psych, and he was determined and adjudged to be competent. Miraculous!

Was Mr. Deodra Redden an incorrigible felon, as portrayed by mainstream media?

Was there no more appropriate way to treat the lifelong “child” of the state, than incarceration in a prison? Judge Holthus claimed, “I just can’t…”

Mr. Redden pled guilty to charges of battery and literally pled with the court, “I’m doing better now.”

His pleas fell on deaf ears.

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied: The Arkansas Judiciary is Slow to Stop Judge Susan Weaver

FREE Doc of the Day

Sorry for a couple late night typos. Most importantly, I did not notice that auto-correct changed the word “caricaturization”, which is not a word in the dictionary, but imparted my meaning, to “characterization”. My meaning was that Judge Weaver acts in a way that turns herself into a caricature of a Southern, small-town judge, like you meet in a John Grisham novel.

If I had it all to do over again, I would write: “Judge Susan Kaye Weaver caricatured herself by exaggerating her corruption more than a character in a John Grisham novel.”
