Pro Se Litigants Take on UAMS and State Police

Imagine your loved one, injured and vulnerable, restrained and unable to leave a hospital despite wanting nothing more than to go home. This was my reality at UAMS.

For two weeks, UAMS confined my son, even physically restraining him with force multiple times and using date rape drugs to incapacitate him.

UAMS claims they destroyed all surveillance videos of what happened. I was pressured into limiting my own recordings, leaving us without the full evidence we should have had. See our claim, filed in the Arkansas Claims Commission, for the full details.

Here is the late filed answer from UAMS.

Here is the UAMS attorney’s excuse why she was late. She doesn’t explain why she didn’t ask for an extension before the statutory time expired.

As I balance caring for my husband, who has stage IV cancer, and navigating the fallout of my son’s mistreatment, I’m adding new videos to show what happened at UAMS. Watch and decide for yourself: Was Sean held against his will? I had no choice but to stay in the hospital—without a bed, a refrigerator, or basic support—or leave my son behind, knowing he was subjected to unnecessary restraints, psychotropic drugs, forced catheterization and denial of use of a toilet to defecate.

Despite our willingness to meet UAMS’s legal team for a settlement, they’d rather drain taxpayer dollars on depositions and salaries than make an offer to resolve this in good faith.

Shockingly, state police declined to investigate possible criminal charges, even telling me to stop emailing them evidence.

About LauraLynnHammett

Regular people like you and I should have access to justice, even if we can't afford an attorney. Judges must stop their cronyism. Attorneys who use abusive tactics against pro se litigants should be disbarred. This site discusses some of the abuses by our legal professionals. It also gives media attention to cases that are fought and sometimes won by the self represented.

    I’ve had 2 pro se cases, very important for the sake of children, go thru Brockton Probate, recently, Judge Kevin R. Connelly where I have and am being treated like I am invisible. Most recent since june, 2023. they lose paperwork, never answer motions, deny deny deny, back room courtrooms. Trump drained out the remaining justice in all courts. It is humiliating and defeating to know that court is only for rich and powerful people and agencies. Back room policies, lies, delays, mistreatment, discrimination, abuse of power. and they can in cases of sovereign immunity, the bain of democracy. One case also , my family home, represented by 2 well seasoned lawyers, who entered actual evidence, tons of paperwork, and the judge allowed the corrupt opposing lawyer/s to get away with fraud, deception, and theft amongst also retalialatory actions . Courts are upholding trumps lawless society,not the rule of law.

      I’m sorry to hear that your experience in court sounds exactly like mine. It would be great to think these are the exceptions. Unfortunately, it seems like liberty and justice for all was a campaign slogan and nothing more.
