Judge Susan Weaver of Arkansas Gives Oral Order for Huge Payout to Fraudster

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?

Judge Susan Weaver Accused of Denying Mother an Opportunity to be Heard

This motion was filed in a family law case. A download from Court Connect is posted following the article, along with a download of the response.

Judge Weaver denied the motion indirectly. The denial was buried within an order denying a motion to quash a subpoena for the deposition of the mother.

The case went to a final hearing and is now closed, with full custody to the father and the mother given visitation with her alleged abuser or his family supervising in his house. The mother complained that the father denies her phone access to the children.

The mother believes Judge Susan Weaver in Faulkner County Circuit Court formed a bias against the mother and ignored all evidence in the mother’s favor throughout the proceedings.

MOTION TO SET ASIDE DECEMBER 19, 2019 ORDER AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT
Comes now the Defendant, Justine Simpson, by and through her attorney, Jennifer E.
Glover, and for her Motion states as follows:

  1. According to the docket entries contained on Court Connect, Plaintiff filed a
    Complaint for Divorce and a Motion for Emergency Custody and Order Requiring the Children
    to be Returned to the State of Arkansas on November 26, 2019.
  2. According to the docket entries contained on Court Connect, on or about December 2,
    2019 a hearing was scheduled in this matter for December 19, 2019.
  3. According to the docket entries contained on Court Connect, a Notice of Hearing was
    filed in this matter on December 2, 2019.
  4. According to the docket entries contained on Court Connect, an Order was entered in
    this matter on December 19, 2019 wherein Plaintiff was awarded custody of the parties’ children
    and Defendant was ordered to return them to his custody in the State of Arkansas.
  5. At no time has Defendant been served with a Notice of Hearing notifying her of the
    December 19, 2019 hearing. At no time has Defendant been served with any pleadings filed in
    this matter.
  6. Plaintiff filed an Affidavit of Non Service on December 3, 2019 wherein it was
    alleged that service was attempted at an address in Indiana, the home of the Defendant’s father.
    However, Defendant’s father informed the server that Defendant did not reside at the location.
    The Affidavit makes no claims that papers were left with Defendant’s father.
  7. Plaintiff has since filed an Affidavit in support of Warning Order which indicates that
    Defendant resides at an address completely different than the one listed in the Affidavit of Non
    Service.
  8. Ark. R. Civ. P. 6 (c) requires that a Notice of Hearing be served “not later than twenty
    days before the time specified for the hearing.”
  9. Defendant was never notified of the hearing set on December 19, 2019. Defendant
    was not given an opportunity to appear and provide testimony in her own defense. The Court
    took testimony only from Plaintiff and possibly his witnesses. Defendant was not afforded an
    opportunity to object to any testimony given, review any evidence presented, cross examine any
    witnesses, present any evidence on her own behalf, or present any case of her own. The Court
    was not able to hear testimony from Defendant that Plaintiff was emotionally and verbally
    abusive throughout the marriage and that this abuse occurred in front of the minor children. The
    Court was unable to hear that Plaintiff brought Defendant to Arkansas, isolated her from her
    family, left her with no vehicle, no access to money, and then perpetrated the abuse upon her.
    The Court was unable to hear testimony regarding Plaintiffs ongoing, daily alcohol abuse. The
    Court was unable to hear recordings of the Plaintiff screaming at Defendant in front of the minor
    children. The Court was unable to see pictures of the doors Plaintiff kicked in at the marital
    home. The Court was unable to hear testimony about Plaintiff’s lack of supervision of the minor
    children. Instead, because Defendant was not afforded any notice of these proceedings or the
    hearing, the Court was only able to hear Plaintiff’s version of events.
  10. Defendant’s custodial rights are fundamental rights protected by both the federal and
    state constitutions. Custody has been granted to Plaintiff without any notice to Defendant.
    Furthermore, Defendant’s due process has been violated by holding a hearing without any notice
    to her and without giving her any opportunity to counter allegations made by Plaintiff and to
    present her own case. The fundamental requirement of due process is the opportunity to be heard
    at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner. Villanueva v. Valdivia, 2016 Ark. App. 107, 4,
    483 S.W.3d 308, 310–11 (2016).
  11. Defendant respectfully requests that this Court set aside the Order entered on
    December 19, 2019 as she was not provided notice as required by Ark. R. Civ. P. 6 and as her
    due process rights were violated in holding a hearing with no notice to Defendant wherein she
    was afforded no right to present a defense or present her own case before her custodial rights
    were taken away.
    WHEREFORE, Defendant, Justine Simpson, prays that this Court set aside the Order
    entered on December 19, 2019; for attorney’s fees and costs; and for all other relief to which she
    is entitled.

Comes now Plaintiff, Benjamin Simpson, by and through his attorney, Victor D. “Trey”
Wright, III, and for his Response to Motion to Set Aside December 19, 2019 Order, does state as
follows:

  1. All actions by this Court in this matter were correct and necessary under the law.
  2. Defendant Justine Simpson has willfully evaded service and has willfully removed
    the children from the jurisdiction of the Court, and has continued to defy a court order for a period
    of two months.
  3. Defendant Justine Simpson, through the actions of her father and through her own
    actions, should not be allowed to have an order set aside due to her inaction and her refusal to
    engage in the legal process.

    his costs and fees and all other relief to which he is entitled.

***********************************

This writer believes children should have access to both parents. It looks like both mother and father in this case were uncooperative with the other parent.

King Solomon thought it was preferable to leave a child with the person who wanted to keep a child whole. But that was literal, not figurative.

In this time of cell phones, Facetime, Zoom and Skype, there should always be communication between both parents and the children, barring a solid report by a professional that communication with one parent would cause psychological damage to the kids.

The mother in this case sounded rational and sober to this writer. Child protective services was not involved in the decision to separate her from her children.

The mother is unwilling to locate back to Arkansas. This writer would normally think that would be a good reason to give the father primary physical custody. But it does not show cause why the mother should have all contact with her children denied. The mother complained that the father was denying phone access. Judge Weaver turned a deaf ear toward the mother.

There are two problems with Judge Weaver that cause this writer to believe the mother might have had good reason to leave Arkansas.

Judge Susan Weaver does deny due process to litigants. She denied my right to due process. And she ignores evidence that is presented, often striking the exhibits due to an unnamed technical issue. Law is not supposed to be a game where the one who does not have a law degree loses. The number one rule of law, literally, is to apply the rules of civil procedure to “secure the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every action.”

Judge Weaver does not give all litigants an opportunity to present evidence and other rights under due process. This makes it difficult to trust the integrity of the Court.

Judge Weaver was quoted as saying that 100% of the time 50% of litigants are mad about the outcome.

Even good judges and attorneys say similar things, such as the best outcomes in court leave everyone disappointed.

Unfortunately, that gives bad judges an excuse for their questionable decisions. “The loser was a disgruntled litigant.”

It is important for a judge to give all litigants an opportunity to be heard and always make an accurate record that shows the reason behind her decisions.

Judge Weaver does not.

The second problem with Judge Weaver that makes the mother’s refusal to return to Arkansas understandable is something this writer has experienced herself.

Judge Weaver’s vindictiveness is frightening. The woman has absolute power and is absolutely corrupted. As soon as I can manage it financially, I will move from Arkansas. I love the state, except the courts. I know that a judicial officer is trying to impermissibly seize my property. Stopping her takes all my time and causes severe emotional distress. Judge Weaver even commanded me to drive three hours for a hearing after I told her I was ill, vomited and provided my blood test showing impaired immunity. Then, when I showed up fully prepared, the judge refused to let me present evidence that the other party was lying about me as an individual.

It is easy to understand the mother’s fear that she will be persecuted by Judge Weaver if she returns. It is easy to understand that the mother fears she will have no protection from the man she claims is an alcoholic and abuser.

And the Winner of the Award for Dumbest Attorney Ever Goes To…

William “Zac” White of Heber Springs Arkansas.

Mr. White rarely wins a case. Unless Judge Susan Weaver is presiding, and no summons is served on the defendant.

It seems that was the plan to transfer ownership of 40 acres and a house in Witts Spring, Arkansas to one of White’s clients, a convicted felon, Micheal “Mike” Pietrczak.

Unfortunately for Mr. White, he named this writer as a defendant. I found the case against me on Court Connect and began to vindicate myself, pro se.

My defense was far superior to the advocacy by the licensed attorney. The Judge, Susan Weaver, seemed to favor Mr. White to a degree that I consider unethical. Still, I had Mr. White on the ropes.

So, he hatched a scheme. He had named a second defendant, a trust. No attorney who saw the crazy rulings prior would take the case for the trust. If I represented the trust, I would be found to have committed the unauthorized practice of law, a misdemeanor that might subject me to a year in jail.

After I found indisputable evidence that Mike Pietrczak had committed fraud on me (posted below), Mr. White dismissed me with prejudice. He thought, and it seems like Judge Weaver agreed, that I could no longer make arguments or submit evidence in the case. (That is probably not true, as dismissed defendants often file motions, such as a motion for attorney fees.)

Judge Weaver and Mr. White went on to find against the trust on all claims and gave Mr. White a blank check to file for damages. I was not allowed to say one word about the facts of the case, even though I was ordered to attend the hearing and I am the trustee of the trust.

Then Mr. White wrote a proposed order in which the Court “finds” that I committed crimes and did all the things I was accused of in the complaint, things for which I was dismissed with prejudice.

Mr. White musta thunk he was pulling a fast one. He did not think that once a joint non-defaulting defendant is dismissed with prejudice, the defaulting defendant must also be dismissed.

In other words, I think the court must go through the complaint and strike out any sentence that says the trust and I did anything. The court already decided I did not do those things. “And” means both. So, the sentence is no longer true.

I’ll let y’all know if Judge Weaver weasles out of her signed dismissal with prejudice and if she finds me guilty of a bunch of charges with literally no opportunity to defend myself.

Will Judge Susan Kaye Weaver Make Findings Against A Dismissed With Prejudice Defendant?

[SPOILER ALERT: She did, after this post was written.]

Attorney William White filed a proposed order yesterday that says the Court finds this writer, Laura Lynn Hammett, guilty of several acts involving property Micheal Pietrczak purchased with money that he allegedly obtained from me by fraud. This was two days after Judge Weaver dismissed all claims against me with prejudice in writing.

Here is my response. I filed it a few hours after Mr. White filed his proposed order, as Judge Weaver has granted another of White’s proposed orders without giving me a chance to respond on August 19, 2021.

What a quandary for Judge Weaver. Does she rule in favor of the attorney who called me “bitch” in court and called this a “bull shit blog”, in front of Judge Weaver? Or does she rule for me, even though she lectured me for giving her “stink eye” during the hearing of March 17th after she refused to let me speak about my individual rights?

Hopefully she upholds her own written dismissal in my case.

It is a shame that Mr. White feels confident that Judge Weaver will contradict a two-day old dismissal with prejudice and help his client “hide” assets he obtained by fraud.

What do Y’all Think of “Judicial Immunity”?

Here is what most courts think:

“Further, allegations that judicial decisions were ‘conditioned upon a conspiracy or bribery,’ including allegations that a judge entered into a conspiracy ‘to predetermine the outcome of a judicial proceeding, while clearly improper, nevertheless does not pierce the immunity extended to judges.’ Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1078 (9th Cir. 1986) (en banc). Judicial immunity applies so long as ‘the judge’s ultimate acts are judicial actions taken within the court’s subject matter jurisdiction.’ Id.see alsoMcCarthy v. Mayo, 827 F.2d 1310, 1314-15 (9th Cir. 1987) (holding that allegations of conspiracy do not remove quasi-judicial immunity); Khazali v. Berns, 2016 WL 4479915, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Aug. 24, 2016) (‘Judicial immunity applies even if there are allegations that a judicial decision resulted from a bribe or a conspiracy.’); Gozzi v. County of Monterey, 2014 WL 6988632, at *7 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 10, 2014) (‘Moreover, even if the Judicial Defendants had acted corruptly and received bribes, as Plaintiff appears to allege, they would still be immune from Plaintiff’s § 1983 claim.’).” Rote v. Comm. on Jud. Conduct & Disability of Jud. Conf. of United States, No. 3:19-CV-1988-SI, 2021 WL 6197041, at *8 (D. Or. Dec. 30, 2021)

I understand the concept of judicial immunity. It seems overbroad to me and has extended to acts that I contend were taken by Judge Susan Weaver in Arkansas that were criminal, not “judicial”.

If the powers that be insist on extending judicial immunity to corrupt acts by judicial officers, they best be ready to pursue ethics violations and criminal charges against the alleged wayward judges.

Without meaningful ethics oversight and criminal prosecutions for honest services fraud or similar, we are living under the tyranny of an evil oligarchy, a band of black robed bandits.

Pro Se Litigant Dismissed From Suit Filed By Attorney William Z. White

With the tenacity of a pit bull, endless hours of tedious work and the favor of God, not necessarily in that order, even a pro se litigant can prevail against a licensed attorney.

It helps quite a bit if the attorney has a horrible track record and no case.

This writer just won a case, even though the presiding Judge, Susan K. Weaver, appeared to many attorneys and lay people to have a bias in favor of the opposing attorney, Mr. William Zac White of Heber Springs, Arkansas.

The Court might have made a further error by making an oral order for judgment against an unrepresented trust by default. In a case such as this, there is caselaw suggesting that when two parties are named jointly, if the non-defaulting party prevails, the defaulting party must also be dismissed. Because I am not an attorney, I must hire an attorney to represent the trust on appeal (if Judge Weaver does not reconsider her possible error before committing it to writing.)

Here is the order dismissing me as an individual with prejudice.

Willy White Wins One: Judge Susan Weaver Refuses to Allow a Joint Defendant to Argue

Attorney William Z. White out of Heber Springs Arkansas played the role of plaintiff’s attorney in a kangaroo court presided over by Judge Susan Weaver on March 17, 2022. He won an outrageous default judgment against an unrepresented trust, for now.

There is no published order on the hearing yet. Mr. White might be too busy gloating to put whole sentences on paper as he was ordered to do by the court.

The way I remember it, Mr. White opened the “trial” by saying he would dismiss me as an individual and only ask for default damages against the Rural Revival Living Trust.

Judge Weaver acted as if I was already dismissed and forbid me from cross examining the plaintiff, objecting to violations like leading the witness, and presenting the evidence I had that the plaintiff had deprived me of over $260,000 by fraud.

Judge Weaver transferred title of the property in dispute from the trust to the plaintiff.

I tried to explain to Judge Weaver that the trust was not represented because every attorney I consulted said taking the case would end his career. Judge Weaver said those allegations were “unfounded”.

It does not matter if allegations of bias are unfounded. It is the appearance of bias that makes a judge’s refusal to recuse unethical.

If the trust cannot engage counsel because of the appearance of bias by the judge, then the trust is denied due process…because of the judge.

Still, Mr. White bragged himself up all weekend and into the new week.

On Monday, March 21, 2022, 02:08:15 PM CDT, William Z. White <wzwhite@wzwhite.com> wrote this email to me:

“You really have no idea how the legal processes in the State of Arkansas work.  You should be mindful of that.  You have tried the whole ‘the system is against me’ approach in several of your other losing cases.  How did that work out for you then?”

I’ll tell you an entertaining story.

A champion poker player was telling me about the game he was in the night before. He said he knew there were other players cheating. 

I asked why he stayed if he knew the players were cheating. He said, “if they are so bad they have to cheat to win, they may win a few hands, but I will win overall. And I did.”

Sorry to be a downer to Mr. White, but a victory by default because all the attorneys I consulted with think Judge Weaver is throwing the case is not something that should make him proud.

In my mind, he looks like a pudgy bully who stole an ice-cream cone from a girl half his size. 

Then as he gleefully walked down the street, licking the ball of ice-cream, he licked too hard and it fell right off the cone and landed in a pile of dog poop.

Hope Willy White enjoys his cone while he can.

Repost: Nothing changes. Unless we make it.

Still true.

A copy of some of my early writing came to me as a gift in the mail today.

As I began to read the one posted below, I thought “This is good! Am I really that brilliant?”

Unfortunately, the answer was “no.” The article begins with a long quote from the People’s Party of America written in 1890.

The quote is just as pertinent today. Maybe more so.

The conditions which surround us best justify
our co-operation; we meet in the midst of a
nation brought to the verge of moral, political,
and material ruin. Corruption dominates the
ballot-box, the Legislatures, the Congress,
and touches even the ermine of the bench. The
people are demoralized; most of the States
have been compelled to isolate the voters at
the polling places to prevent universal
intimidation and bribery. The newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business prostrated, homes covered
with mortgages, labor impoverished’ and the
land concentrating in the hands of capitalists.
The urban workmen are denied the right to
organize for self-protection, imported
pauperized labor beats down their wages, a
hireling standing army, unrecognized by our
laws, is established to shoot them down, and
they are rapidly degenerating into European
conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a
few, unprecedented in the history of mankind;
and the possessors of those, in turn, despise
the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice we breed the two great classes – tramps and
millionaires.
-From the People’s Party of America platform1890s. (Also known as the Populist
Movement.)
Unfortunately, this is the common tale of too
many stripped of any parent-child relationship
by a seemingly corrupt court. The
court creates a pauper, enslaved to enriching
the collaterals, the lawyers, therapists and
monitors appointed by the court. The rulers
are acting upon the threat of force. They act
under the color of law, but not under the laws
this once great nation was built upon. – Laura Lynn Hammett 2009

Can A Victim of Corrupt Government Workers Win a Constitutional Claim? Yes!

Back in the day… I was writing about corrupt government employees, especially in the judicial branch, and as a benefit, met some wonderful friends and colleagues.

Thank you to one of the ladies who sent two packets of printouts of my articles that were deleted from the internet when Examiner.com closed down. (Hint. When the say back-up your files, they mean it.)

I’ll repost a few of my faves in the next few days.

Here is one about a beautiful person, inside and out, who had her children removed from her by evil DCFS employees and the judge who went along with the scum.

Open Email to Attorney William Z. White

This blogger is ill and has used all the time she was able to sit up today to write an email concerning the unethical transfer of property from an older woman to the man who defrauded her into thinking he was in love with her. Cliche, yes. But true.

Hopefully, if God does not heal my disease, I will leave a legacy that helps the good people of Arkansas fend off tyrannical government employees, like judges, that transfer property to their friends and family, and themselves, of course.

Pardon the quality of this writing. It is done while I have eaten only a bowl of rice in more than two days, and can barely lift my head.

***************************************************

Mr. White and Staff,

I am extremely ill right now and can only sit for a few minutes at a time. Standing to scan makes me need to puke. But, because Judge Weaver appears to me to be ruling unethically and illegally, I won’t assume she will give me the stay I requested.

My Jewish grandmother who lived in the USSR survived the Bolsheviks and the Russian oligarchy stealing her property, killing her nine siblings and mother and ran, physically on her legs I was told, to Poland, then Germany, then crossed the Atlantic by ship and made it to Los Angeles. We are a tough breed.

Attached is a copy of the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014 and Designation of Successor Trustee for the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014  that transferred control of my assets to Micheal Pietrczak on July 23, 2015. Attached also is a revocation of Micheal Pietrczak as Trustee of the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014. A lawsuit regarding the trust will be filed as soon as Judge Weaver is removed from the bench, as I have no expectation of justice with Judge Weaver presiding.

I made my sons the trustees until July 2015 because Mr. Pietrczak was on a drunken binge, driving from California to Arkansas with our furniture and he was paying prostitutes for sex at the time. Mr. Pietrczak called me about December 28 and begged me to fly out to meet him because he was out of money already. He spent $15,000 driving from California to Clarendon Texas. 

Once in Arkansas, Mr. Pietrczak defrauded me again into believing he loved me and considered me his “wife in the eyes of God”. Those were his words.

Mr. Pietrczak had no assets when we met. He was a felon on probation for using fraudulent documents at the US-Mexico border. 

He used all my money and my unpaid labor to build a business. When we were denied our opportunity to purchase the property the business was in, I did all the physical labor of writing our arguments for court documents and won the case in spite of Mr. Pietrczak’s continual drinking binges and 24/7 use of cannabis. The arbitrator wrote that he favored the plaintiffs because my family had the assets to purchase the property, not that the broke alcoholic felon had the assets to buy the property. (The arbitrator even noted in writing that he considered me “a rescuer”.)

Mr. Pietrczak put everything that we both earned into his name, including the property on Lick Fork.

Mr. Pietrczak showed a loss on his income tax returns every year, and in fact did not file income tax returns until he met me, he said.

I offered in writing to give him half of what we had left from six years of my Silver Strand Plaza, LLC income and the lawsuit money. Instead of taking my gift gratefully, he and you greedily pursued this lawsuit that could only be won if you had a crooked judge on your side. (It was dismissed when I could afford to hire an attorney in 2018.)

But you saw another opportunity to have Judge Weaver transfer assets from an older woman’s trust to you and your client. Your client will need to pay all the money he keeps to medical bills that the government has paid for him thus far. So, unless you are slipping him some cash, the only individuals who profit are you and those you pay off to help you.

Hopefully Judge Weaver gives me at least a couple weeks to meet with doctors and rest. If she does not, and I am forced to comply with your overbroad subpoena, instead of caring for my health, I hope she will be charged with honest services fraud or at least removed from the bench. Those are probably appropriate outcomes already. 

If not, I will keep in mind a friend of my family who was one of the people memorialized in the movie Defiance. I asked him why he believed in God. He said that if there was no God, he would not have survived 18 months in a forest in Germany after being shot in the leg by Nazis while escaping a concentration camp.

Regards,

Laura Hammett
