Proof of Government Defendant’s False Imprisonment and Battery: Intense!
Doctors at UAMS used a cocktail of sedatives and unnecessary treatments to keep traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient Sean Lynn hospitalized in a $4,700/day room for two weeks against his will. Was this “treatment” medically critical? No. Would it be lucrative for lead doctor Joseph Margolick and the hospital? That was their intention.
The YouTube video has Sean on January 21, 2024, then cuts to a video I took inadvertently on January 23rd. UAMS doctors and nurses had lied to me and said, multiple times and I recorded, that they “never give opioids to TBIs” and “never give benzos to TBIs.” They left me thinking Sean’s confusion and worsening aphasia was caused by his fall. They also overstated the height of his fall by 3 times. A fall from 10 feet is rarely fatal. A fall from 30 feet has almost a 50% fatality rate. Sean’s condition was remarkably good for someone who fell 10 feet. But saying the fall was 30 feet was false justification for his imprisonment. The medical team heard zebras instead of horses. Then swore we were in Botswana.
University of Arkansas state hospital employees finally agreed not to tackle and tie Sean down when he left the ICU Against Medical Advice (AMA) on January 27, 2024. Sean lived seizure-free for the next six months, supported only by outpatient prescriptions for salt tablets, Tylenol and propranolol, which he quickly weaned off. If Sean was truly in a life-threatening condition, why did no outpatient specialist note a remarkable event while Sean was home against medical advice from UAMS?
Sean’s ordeal began with a fall from the 10-foot-high rung of a ladder. A resulting subdural hematoma caused aphasia—a language impairment, not a loss of reasoning. The UAMS team of alleged racketeers led by Dr. Margolick ignored Sean’s legal right to decline invasive treatment. Instead of allowing him to recover or die peacefully at home, they restrained him, catheterized him against his will, and drugged him. UAMS then claimed Sean’s “confusion” and “agitation” was reason enough to imprison him.
The shocking reality: UAMS staff subjected Sean to treatments that increased his distress. They charged him for opioids and benzodiazepines—some that were not noted as being administered. Sean’s sodium levels dropped, likely due to stress, inadequate nutrition, and the very drugs meant to “calm” him. Yet, UAMS refused family-provided, high-sodium food, further endangering his health.
Worse, the hospital refused to give Sean a psychiatric evaluation or counseling. They refused to allow his beloved daughter to visit him. And they failed to have clergy pray with Sean.
The breaking point came when Sean repeatedly removed his catheter. UAMS responded by restraining him and forcibly re-inserting it multiple times—until they finally stopped after realizing their approach was making things worse. Within days, Sean’s sodium levels stabilized without catheterization.
Here’s the kicker: UAMS billed Sean for a laundry list of drugs that were presumably administered on January 23, 2024, the day the segment of the video was accidentally recorded by my pocketed cell phone: Phenobarbital per 120 mg, Dexmedetomidine in 0.9% Nacl Soln X8, trazodone 50 mg tablet, Acetaminophen 325 mg tablet X4, Haloperidol Lactate per 5 mg X2, Lorazepam per 2 mg X2, Senna 8.6 mg tablet, Enoxaparin 60 Mg/0.6 MI Syng X2, Diazepam 5 Mg Tablet X2, Propranolol 20 MG tablet X2.
Some of these drugs were billed but not recorded as administered. Where did those drugs go? The streets? Staff misuse? We’ll never know.
Why this matters: Sean was a non-violent patient. He rarely used pharmaceuticals and clearly told the medical team that he had little pain and was “fine”. The hospital’s unethical and likely illegal practices—drugging and restraining without consent—put him at risk of addiction, long-term trauma, and even death.
Sean, and I as next-of-kin, were clear that Sean had no active insurance and did not want to incur any medical bills. After Sean got out, UAMS sent him a bill in excess of $46,000.
We’ve filed a pro se claim for $275,000 against UAMS with the Arkansas Claims Commission. UAMS denies all allegations, choosing to spend taxpayer dollars on a costly legal battle. We seek justice for Sean and systemic change to prevent this from happening to others.

Arkansas Attorney William Zac White Running and Hiding, Again
[5] A lawyer’s conduct should conform to the requirements of the law, both in professional service to clients and in the lawyer’s business and personal affairs. A lawyer should use the law’s procedures only for legitimate purposes and not to harass or intimidate others. A lawyer should demonstrate respect for the legal system and for those who serve it, including judges, other lawyers and public officials. While it is a lawyer’s duty, when necessary, to challenge the rectitude of official action, it is also a lawyer’s duty to uphold legal process. A lawyer should avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Section – Preamble: A Lawyer’s Responsibilities, Ark. R. Prof. Cond. Preamble: A Lawyer’s Responsibilities
Refusing service seems to be using procedures to harass, rather than uphold legal process.
“A lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to expedite litigation consistent with the interests of the client.” Rule 3.2 – Expediting Litigation, Ark. R. Prof. Cond. 3.2
COMMENT
[1] Dilatory practices bring the administration of justice into disrepute. Although there will be occasions when a lawyer may properly seek a postponement for personal reasons, it is not proper for a lawyer to routinely fail to expedite litigation solely for the convenience of the advocates. Nor will a failure to expedite be reasonable if done for the purpose of frustrating an opposing party’s attempt to obtain rightful redress or repose. It is not a justification that similar conduct is often tolerated by the bench and bar. The question is whether a competent lawyer acting in good faith would regard the course of action as having some substantial purpose other than delay. Realizing financial or other benefit from otherwise improper delay in litigation is not a legitimate interest of the client.
Rule 3.2 – Expediting Litigation, Ark. R. Prof. Cond. 3.2
Besides being tacky and obnoxious, refusing service of legal documents is done to frustrate an opposing party’s attempt to obtain rightful redress. It should not be tolerated by the bench.
The documents refused were petitions for reconsideration and rehearing of an appeal. Zac White failed to file an opposition to the appeal. Then Judges Rita Gruber, Cindy Thyer and Brandon Harrison dismissed the appeal errantly on a jurisdictional issue. They ignored the jurisdictional issues that should have dismissed the appellee’s case at the lower court.
Even though attorney White did not oppose the petitions, the Court of Appeals denied the relief requested. No explanation was given.
A Universal Problem: World Courts Show More Concern for Procedure than Merits
Thank you to Jojy George Koduvath for his insightful WordPress blog IndianLawLive.net. Indian law is not precedential in the United States, but it is informative.
Also, the LAWPHiL Project for posting the following court document from which I quote. This caselaw puts my thoughts on the error of our courts in relying on procedure instead of merit so well.
“The court has [the] discretion to dismiss or not to dismiss an appellant’s appeal. It is a power conferred on the court, not a duty. The ‘discretion must be a sound one, to be exercised in accordance with the tenets of justice and fair play, having in mind the circumstances obtaining in each case.’ Technicalities, however, must be avoided. The law abhors technicalities that impede the cause of justice. The court’s primary duty is to render or dispense justice. ‘A litigation is not a game of technicalities.’ ‘Law suits, unlike duels, are not to be won by a rapier’s thrust. Technicality, when it deserts its proper office as an aid to justice and becomes its great hindrance and chief enemy, deserves scant consideration from courts.’ Litigations must be decided on their merits and not on technicality. Every party litigant must be afforded the amplest opportunity for the proper and just determination of his cause, free from the unacceptable plea of technicalities. Thus, dismissal of appeals purely on technical grounds is frowned upon where the policy of the court is to encourage hearings of appeals on their merits and the rules of procedure ought not to be applied in a very rigid, technical sense; rules of procedure are used only to help secure, not override substantial justice. It is a far better and more prudent course of action for the court to excuse a technical lapse and afford the parties a review of the case on appeal to attain the ends of justice rather than dispose of the case on technicality and cause a grave injustice to the parties, giving a false impression of speedy disposal of cases while actually resulting in more delay, if not a miscarriage of justice.

Judge Susan Weaver’s Corruption: Will Supreme Court Justices Curtail Her Illegal Activity?
Please send this post to all your elderly friends in Arkansas, or thinking of retiring to Arkansas.
My reality is that Susan Weaver, Rita Gruber, Cindy Thyer and Brandon Harrison are typical elitists who think only lawyers and people with money to burn should be able to retire comfortably and have the ability to pass property on through a trust. Truth and justice do not matter to these reprehensible thugs.
I will use my last breath to expose the corruption in the judiciary and release the common person from the tyranny of officers of the court gone amuck.
Fighting for Justice: Taking on UAMS Attorneys in the Arkansas Claims Commission
No paperwork showing a “72-hour-hold” was ever provided. Finally, after 14 days of false imprisonment, assault and battery, UAMS agreed to allow me to take my son home.
Now UAMS attorney Sherri Robinson certified that UAMS did nothing we claimed.
Vote Your Conscience
I did not vote for Cornel West. My vote was “wasted” no matter for whom I voted. The electoral vote in Arkansas will go to Trump.
I voted Libertarian, just to make my small statement. Get out of our bank accounts. Get out of our bedrooms.
But Dr. Cornell West preaches something fierce. I am a Jew. My ancestors two generations before me were slaughtered in the USSR (now Ukraine). I am a Christian. My Lord loves all His children infinity plus two. That includes Palestinians, Mexicans, Chinese and fill in the blank. Genocide is genocide. It must stop.
Dr. West makes a great point about Kamala Harris being afraid of the big money people who run the party. Again, fill in the blank. Democratic. Republican.
It is obvious our courts are bought and paid for. Our police in Arkansas refuse to investigate the major employers or court employees who brazenly violate basic rights of the common citizen.
Grandma Clara watched as her brothers and sisters and mother were killed. She miraculously escaped and ran – on her legs – across the Ukraine to Poland. She made it to Germany and one step ahead of Hitler, crossed the Atlantic in steerage to Ellis Island. For what?
Vote your conscience. Live your conscience. A holocaust survivor once told me, “our minds are the only things they can’t take from us.” Use yours.
State’s Attorney Defends the Indefensible
University of Arkansas hospital, a state agency, is using your tax dollars to mount a defense against the allegedly illegal and unethical imprisonment, assault and battery of my son. They also claim they did not coerce me into staying at the hospital for two weeks instead of leaving them alone with my son, after they used physical and chemical restraints on him numerous times.
UAMS planned to charge my son $4,700 per day for an indefinite time. After they allowed him to leave “AMA”, they sent a bill for $46,000. That was supposedly the “discounted” rate.
This video shows Nurse Susan lying. At about 6:50 she said, “we don’t give benzo’s to TBIs.” Look at this page of the bill.
Nurse Susan said, “we need him to be with it 100% of the time so he can leave.” (See about 10:15. “Sometimes he makes sense and then he doesn’t make sense.” (10:53)
Ya, you dumb #$%$#!. When he makes sense, he says “I want to leave.” Then you force date rape drugs into him and tie him up. Presto! He sounds confused and agitated.
I know AI is not 100% accurate, but here is a discussion I had with ChatGPT about the drugs UAMS billed my son for on the day this video was taken. It is possible they held some of the drugs, which begs the questions: Why did they still bill for the drugs? And what happened to the drugs that were not returned to inventory or administered?
Me: If a TBI patient was administered the following drugs in a 24 hour period, what would be the likely result? Phenobarbital per 120 mg, Dexmedetomidine in 0.9% Nacl Soln X8, trazodone 50 mg tablet, Acetaminophen 325 mg tablet X4, Haloperidol Lactate per 5 mg X2, Lorazepam per 2 mg X2, Senna 8.6 mg tablet, Enoxaparin 60 Mg/0.6 MI Syng X2, Diazepam 5 Mg Tablet X2, Propranolol 20 MG tablet X2.
ChatGPT: Administering this combination of drugs to a traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient could lead to severe sedation, respiratory depression, hypotension, and a high risk of complications due to the overlapping effects of these medications on the central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular system. Let’s break down the effects based on the primary drug classes involved:
Likely Results and Risks
- Profound Sedation and CNS Depression
- Phenobarbital, dexmedetomidine, trazodone, haloperidol, lorazepam, and diazepam are all CNS depressants. When combined, these drugs would likely cause excessive sedation, confusion, and, in severe cases, respiratory depression. For a TBI patient, this could obscure the assessment of neurological function, making it difficult to monitor for changes in consciousness or symptoms related to the brain injury.
- Risk of Respiratory Depression
- Lorazepam, diazepam, and phenobarbital all carry a high risk of respiratory depression. When combined with dexmedetomidine, this risk increases, especially if the patient’s breathing is not closely monitored. This is especially concerning for TBI patients, as stable oxygen levels are crucial for brain recovery.
- Hypotension and Bradycardia
- Dexmedetomidine and propranolol can lower heart rate and blood pressure. Combined, these drugs could lead to severe hypotension (low blood pressure) and bradycardia (slow heart rate), which could reduce blood flow to the brain. This would be dangerous for a TBI patient, as maintaining adequate blood pressure and brain perfusion is essential for recovery.
- Confusion and Agitation
- Haloperidol, trazodone, lorazepam, phenobarbital, and diazepam all affect mental clarity and can cause confusion, especially in patients with TBI who may already be vulnerable to cognitive issues. This combination increases the risk of delirium, agitation, or paradoxical reactions where a sedative leads to hyperactivity or disorientation.
- Risk of Bleeding
- Enoxaparin (a blood thinner) adds a significant bleeding risk. TBI patients are already at risk of brain bleeding, and additional blood thinners could worsen any intracranial hemorrhage or lead to other bleeding complications.
- Additional Considerations
- Acetaminophen might be included for pain or fever, which is standard, but it adds a mild sedative effect.
- Senna is a laxative and generally safe; however, in a highly sedated patient, it could lead to dehydration or electrolyte imbalance if there’s significant bowel movement without proper hydration.
Summary of Likely Outcomes
The combined effects of these drugs could likely lead to over-sedation, respiratory suppression, low blood pressure, and altered mental status. For a TBI patient, these effects can interfere with the ability to accurately assess neurological status and could result in a serious risk of respiratory arrest, cardiovascular instability, and worsened neurological outcomes.
Monitoring and Caution
This combination of medications would require intensive monitoring in a controlled setting, such as an ICU, with frequent checks on respiratory and cardiovascular status, oxygen saturation, and neurological assessments. In most cases, clinicians would avoid such a combination due to its high risk and would aim for alternatives with fewer overlapping CNS depressant effects.
*******************
It seems like a highly effective way to run up a bill: take a patient with aphasia, struggling to communicate but not requiring surgery or IV medication, and administer a drug cocktail potent enough to knock out a horse. Then, declare him incapable of making his own choices, and threaten to involve law enforcement if his next-of-kin dares to take him home. Conveniently, vanish the surveillance footage. Then send a $46,000 bill for the two-week confinement. Quite the business model.
Defending this conduct is yet another example of Big Government, Big Pharma, and Big Business siphoning taxpayer dollars into their own bank accounts—illegally, but with complete impunity.
Juries Love Video and So Do the Public At Large
I’ll get the hang of this video editing. It really paints ten thousand words.
It took three more days to get an unwilling patient out of ICU without being shot by UAMS state police.
Here is the claim filed, and the answer filed late. It appears that UAMS will spend several million dollars to defend against the claim that asked for $275,000.
Here is Senior Associate General Counsel Sherri L. Robinson’s lame excuse for filing the answer late without asking for an extension of time.
Sherri Robinson, UAMS’s defense attorney, claims she’s been “distracted” lately, helping her mother after a broken wrist. But what if Sherri’s mother had gone to UAMS and been held there for two weeks—tied to a cot, drugged, exposed, and unable to use a toilet because the staff feared she might “elope”? Imagine Sherri’s state of mind if she had to wipe away remnants of feces from her own mother’s anus and vagina because UAMS refused to let their patient-prisoner use a toilet.
But this isn’t Sherri’s mother; it’s someone else’s loved one. And UAMS claims they “destroyed” the surveillance videos, so it’s as if it never even happened. This is the conduct Sherri Robinson is defending.
