If Judge Susan Weaver has the Audacity to Run for a Second Term, Vote NO!
Judge Weaver gave my house on 40 acres to a man who put his plan to defraud me with the help of the court in writing. Judge Weaver saw the letter.
Worse, I was dismissed with prejudice, meaning on the merits, and Judge Susan Weaver of Searcy County Arkansas said that my co-defendant, my living trust, lost by default.
One attorney told me Judge Weaver just doesn’t understand subtleties in civil law. But this is not the slightest bit hard to understand.
“Arkansas recognizes the ‘common-defense doctrine,’ which holds that if two are sued jointly, one of whom makes default, and the other appears and interposes a successful defense to the action, there can be no doubt but that the plea of the one appearing, will inure to the benefit of the other, and that he will also be entitled to his discharge, notwithstanding the interlocutory judgment by default.
“The test for determining under the common-defense doctrine if an answer will inure to a co-defendant’s benefit is whether the answer of the non-defaulting defendant states a defense that is common to both defendants, because then a successful plea operates as a discharge to all the defendants, but it is otherwise where the plea goes to the personal discharge of the party interposing it.” – Gunter v. Liberty Bank of Arkansas, 92 Ark. App. 163 (2005)
It is more likely that Judge Weaver has a plan to transfer properties out of little old lady’s trusts and into the pocket of her cronies like attorney William Zac White.
Add into the fact set that the transcripts of two hearings on my case were falsified and Judge Weaver won’t allow the recordings to be played in public. That looks like a cover-up.
The real problem is that the Court of Appeals justices, Judge Billy Roy Wilson and Judge Lee P. Rudofsky have each been informed of my allegations and none have done anything I asked for or anything else I am aware of to correct the injustice.
Susan Weaver is doing a lot of damage during her time on the bench. Her victims should be compensated by the government that failed to make a timely correction. That may never happen. But the citizens of this state are right to think there is no integrity in our judiciary.
My suggestion is to vote the elected judges out of office and make certain that the federal judges are not confirmed for any promotion.
Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied: The Arkansas Court of Appeal’s Speed of Molasses Deprives Me of Justice
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver gave a property worth over $200,000 from my living trust to an irrevocable trust created by Attorney William White specifically to hold the property on behalf of his client, Mike Pietrczak.
I was named in the same suit, but dismissed with prejudice after William Zac White’s helper gave me the original handwritten, signed letter by his client that admits to committing fraud against me.
I filed two maximum length briefs in the Arkansas Court of Appeals on November 23, 2022, arguing amongst other things the Common Defense Doctrine. One was written as an individual, the other as the sole settlor, trustee and beneficiary of the trust.
The Common Defense Doctrine is precedence that “…one whose liability is dependent on, or derived from, the liability of one who is exonerated in an earlier suit…on the same facts may take advantage of the bar of the prior judgment even though he was not a party to the earlier actions or in privity with the defendant therein. Ted Saum & Company v. Swaffar, 237 Ark. 971, 377 S.W.2d 606 (1964).”
Mr. White did not bother to respond to the brief. Why should he when Susan Weaver seems to be his lap dog?
While waiting for the COA to decide if my unopposed briefs were accurate, my bank account has dwindled to nothing and I am relying on a $600 per month pension, loans and gifts to eat. (I had a writing gig that helped me pay off my loans to zero, but now I am starting to feel the pinch again.)
And really, how long will the $199,000 the fraudsters got for selling the property last? Mike Pietrczak is a lifelong drug addict and alcoholic. The trustee, Walter Pietrczak, is a broke ass loser who was a conspirator in the fraud. Seems like the money will be gone before the justices can finish scratching their heads.
That is why I asked the appellate justices to refer the case to the proper prosecutorial agencies that would handle honest services fraud. Judge Weaver could have used her favorite excuse, (I don’t know nuthin’ about nuthin’), for her absurd orders. But she conspired with Court reporter Jana Perry to falsify what was said in a couple hearings, to try to make her rulings seem legit. Then she lied in a court document by saying she listened to the recordings and the transcripts were accurate.
Incarcerating Susan Weaver will not put food on my table, but it will provide me with a happy ending to the book about Arkansas Injustice that is in my writing queue. The residual income the book generates is not restitution in any way…it is derived from my own labor. There will be some poetic justice though, in that.
A Little Light Music for Your Listening Pleasure
When I finally obtain a copy of the audio recordings of the hearings Backwoods Judge Susan Kaye Weaver and side kick Court Reporter Jana Perry fictionalized in the transcripts of the hearings, I hope rap singer “Afroman” will collaborate with me on a song or two that will memorialize the corrupt court’s conduct.
Joseph Edgar Foreman, AKA Afroman, is being sued by some Adams County, Ohio sheriff deputies. Afroman used surveillance video of the sheriffs breaking down his door and searching his home to illustrate two music videos. I chuckled a few times while I watched the videos that already have millions of views on YouTube. Apparently, the police officers found no humor in the videos what-so-ever.
Watch the music videos Lemon Pound Cake and Will You Help Me Repair My Door here and here.
The invasion of privacy lawsuit would be humorous if there was not a good chance that corrupt judges would let it proceed and maybe even let the police officers prevail. That is the direction our legal system has taken. First judges gave themselves absolute judicial immunity from civil lawsuits. It takes an act of God to get the judicial ethics commissions and public integrity unit of the FBI to rein in the corrupt courts. Then just about every public employee, including cops, were extended “quasi-judicial” immunity.
Now these Adams County cops are demanding that video footage of them searching a man’s home and taking about $5,000 of his cash not be played for the public. (There was no illegal substances nor kidnapping victims found on the property, despite the police making claims that resulted in a search warrant.)
Here’s my music video concept. First an intro that says something like “Arkansas Injustice. Arkansas Injustice. Just listen and learn about Arkansas Injustice.”
Then we will use segments of the recording that Judge Weaver does not want the public to hear; but we will change the cadence when repeating certain phrases. “The motion for continuance must be in writing, must be in writing, must be in writing.”
We will use the read-along tool used in children’s videos, with a bouncing ball touching each word of the transcript in order. But the words spoken will not be the same as the written words, because they are not.
Where attorney William Zac White very loudly says “Bitch” and that was not captured on the transcript, the bouncing ball can land on red text alone on the screen that says “BLEEP”.
There will be an animated reenactment of the hearings interspersed with the lyrics. During this animation, the lip movement of the characters will be pronounced but inconsistent with the words spoken. It will be like watching a Japanese Karate movie dubbed poorly in English. The lip movement will be completely out of sync with what was said.
Citizens who have their Constitutional rights violated by rogue government officials usually cannot recover civil damages for the misconduct. Will the courts also try to limit our ability to create art and literature that exposes the bad behavior?
Stink Eye: Should Judge Weaver be allowed to dictate a litigant to keep a good pokerface?
“Lucky” was playing in a poker game with me last night; a 1/2 NLH at the Hard Rock in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Lucky is a tough looking young man, about the same age as my son. He is Hispanic, wears a full beard, dark shades and muff style headphones. He has a take no prisoners style of play.
I was dealt an AQ off-suit, which I consider to be a good playable hand. If I was leading off with the betting, I’d probably raise from the minimum $2 bet to $6. But Lucky got to bet before me. With a dramatic display of calculation, picking out a few chips, then pausing and adding a few more from a different color stack, he announced his bet as $23 dollars and strew the chips across the table with aplomb.
Any bet over $20 pre-flop at this table meant a premium hand (or a bluff). He probably had an AK, KK, or AA and dominated me. So, after glaring at him, I folded.
Lucky took off his headphones and addressed me personally for the first time since I joined the game. Really he was talking about me in the third person to the whole group, but he intended to engage me. I don’t remember his exact words. It was something to the effect of look at the way she stared at me. She was harsh.
The hand played out and Lucky took down a sizable pot when the last remaining caller folded after the river. Lucky showed us his pocket jacks. JJ against AQ is actually a coin toss. There was an Ace on the turn, so if I had not folded, I would have won the hand.
I acted contrary to my own rules and told the players what I folded. We had a good laugh together and I told the men about a comment that Judge Susan Weaver made to me. It was during the hearing where she trampled all over my rights to due process and announced her intention to give my personal property and real estate held in trust to a man who put his intention to defraud me of $75,000 in writing.
Judge Weaver said to stop giving her “stink eye”. At the time she said that, I had a credible fear that the judge also intended to find me in contempt of court and incarcerate me. Her stink eye comment sounded like a set-up to find me in direct contempt.
Judges have gotten away with throwing people in jail for less. They should not. They should not be allowed to tyrannize litigants who are merely expressing disapproval of the judges’ errant denial of civil rights through a non-disruptive facial expression.
It is not as if I called Judge Weaver a bitch. Opposing counsel William White called me “bitch” loudly in court that day and Judge Weaver pretended not to hear it. Judge Weaver’s longtime colleague Court Reporter Jana Perry pretended not to hear it either, when she fabricated what was said in the fictionalized transcript she created.
My look of righteous anger, though, that Judge Weaver found worth noting for the record.
Lucky made me realize just how evil Susan Kaye Weaver was to demand that I hide my dismay with her Draconian commands. Lucky noticed the intense look I gave him, also. And we were playing poker. The whole idea behind poker is to mask your emotions, because showing your emotions conveys information that can help your opponent make educated decisions on future hands. You’re not playing a hand, you’re playing a game.
When the unethical jurist abused her power by forbidding me from defending my own property rights, I was justifiably angry. There is nothing disruptive about me looking at the judge with an angry look on my face. Had she not commented, there would be no record of my disapproval until I filed my appeal.
Judge Susan Weaver wants to bully and bluff and for me to maintain my best poker face. I complied that day in court, for fear of having my 60-year-old body thrown in jail. If I had the energy, I would have protected my Constitutional right to a fair trial from being treated as a game. (Hopefully the Court of Appeals addresses the issue when ruling on my unopposed appellate brief.)
Judges Who Are Dumb Enough to Make Unethical Comments On The Record
There are a few good attorneys. Steve Lehto seems to be one of them.
He discusses crazy court decisions and stories that would be funny if they were not so serious. Click here to watch a video about a judge who made sexist and disturbing comments from the bench and actually was disciplined (lightly).
One of the points Mr. Lehto makes is that the man is too dumb to be a judge if he doesn’t realize there will be a record of his inappropriate comments. I agree.
Now retired and deceased California Commissioner Alan Friedenthal did the same thing while presiding over my case. He said he read my blog and went through a list of what he disagreed about. He eventually was disciplined with a figurative slap on the wrist for what he did to me and many others. Fox News covered the story and featured me in a segment called “Lost in the System: Imbalanced Justice”.
Al should have gone to Arkansas Judge Susan Weaver for advice. When Suzy says things she does not want the public to hear or lets her favored attorneys cuss at old ladies in court, the judge has her old friend and colleague Court Reporter Jana Perry make an inaccurate transcript. Then Judge Weaver refuses to make the actual recording of the hearing available to the public.
The Arkansas Court of Appeals and the Judicial Disciplinary and Disability Commission are aware of my allegations and have not taken any action to correct the wayward judge thus far.
Maybe they figure that Susan Weaver is smart enough to cover-up her bad behavior, so she is smart enough to be a judge.
Why is it Taking the Arkansas Court of Appeals Justices and JDDC So Long to Rein in Judge Susan Weaver?
Time for me to vent.
Every day that goes by is another day that attorney William Zac White and his client have to spend or hide the assets they obtained from me by honest services fraud.
They lied in court and Judge Susan Weaver, knowing they were lying, granted them everything they asked for, literally. They used the excuse that the property they were transferring was held in a trust and the trust was not represented by a licensed attorney. But Judge Weaver gave my personal property that was not held in trust to her co-conspirators. I was forbidden from protesting in court under the pretext that I was going to be dismissed from the case with prejudice.
All this went down while COVID was still an issue.
Courts around the country are backing off the COVID protocols now. But during the kangaroo court hearing set up to transfer my property, most courts were making every effort to contain the disease, as reported by Eversheds Sutherland LLP on Lexocology. (Discussing Texas courts in their article.) “As of December 31, 2022, the Court had issued fifty-nine Emergency Orders allowing court participants to, among other things, appear for any hearing, deposition, or other proceeding remotely; consider as evidence sworn statements or testimony given remotely; and conduct court proceedings away from the court’s usual location with reasonable notice and access to the participants and the public.”
I had requested a stay of proceedings 12 days before the March 17, 2022 hearing. Judge Weaver denied the stay. She did not make an alternative ruling that would allow me to appear by Zoom. Because Judge Weaver and her close colleague Court Reporter Jana Perry fictionalized the prior hearing held by Zoom, it is likely they had a concern that I would have law enforcement in the room with me or impermissibly make my own recording. They intended to fictionalize the March hearing, as well. And they did.
My medical records submitted as an exhibit were supposed to be filed under seal. They were not. They were then included in the Clerk’s record for my appeal. Now the document was removed from the public docket of the circuit court case. If you are with a news reporting agency, a public service law firm or law enforcement, please email me and I will hook you up with a copy for verification purposes. I am attaching my motion below, in which I describe the results. I was not tried for perjury yet, despite Judge Weaver and Willy White’s apparent desire to incarcerate me, so my rendition is probably accurate.
Most importantly, my absolute lymphocyte count was low. Normal is 1,000 to 5,000 cells per microliter of blood. Mine was 700.
According to Dr. Richard Foxx, M.D. on Doctor’s Health Press: “These cells help prevent infections by bacteria and viruses and also fight off infections already present, and a low count of these cells also increases the chance of certain types of cancer developing, mostly types of leukemia, lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.” This was written in 2018, pre-COVID-19. I will hazard a guess that absolute lymphocytes in a healthy person fight off the COVID virus also.
Regardless, I described symptoms of having COVID and had not been tested yet. (I tested the day or two before the hearing and tested negative, but Judge Weaver did not know that.) Judge Susan Kaye Weaver was willing to expose me, my two elderly court watching friends, court personnel, the Sheriff and three of his deputies, Mr. White and his chain-smoking client with bad lungs all to the virus. She knew she was not going to let me argue, object or present evidence during the hearing. The only reasons I can think of that she would require the hearing to be in person and have me show up were 1) so the team of sheriff deputies could throw me in jail for an invented contempt of court; and 2) to make it more difficult to have third parties hear the actual proceedings, making it easier to get away with the planned fictionalization.
The Justices at the Court of Appeals have all this information before them since I filed my appellate brief on November 23, 2022. There was no opposition filed. How long can it take to decide that Judge Weaver was not upholding her judicial oath to protect the Constitution and reverse her orders?
How Quickly We Forget: How Hitler Transferred Property and What Came Next
Americans love watching movies about the Nazis. The vast majority of us are rooting against the murderous thugs.
I am watching a series on Prime called “Hunters”. It stars Al Pacino as a Nazi Hunter. There is an FBI agent who suspects a rash of deaths are murders by a vigilante group determined to eradicate war criminals. I think she will eventually see the beauty in truth espoused by the self-appointed judge, jury and executioners.
Stylistically, Hunters has comic strip undertones.
Sadly, people, including some Jews, view the Holocaust through this animated lens.
The Jewish people have a mantra. “Forgive, but do not forget.”
Yet history is repeating itself right here in the land of the free.
I am the victim of a Hitleresque judicial officer named Susan Kaye Weaver.
She took my property, both real and personal, in a hearing in which I was forbidden to defend against the improper seizure.
The Arkansas judge used the excuse that the real property was held in trust. She said that if I spoke on behalf of the trust, I would be committing the unauthorized practice of law. She had the County Sheriff and three deputies on hand who could arrest me at her whim. She knew I am ill and ruled with a hardened heart. (I have an acute auto-immune disease and gave the Court copies of a recent blood test that would indicate that I should be resting at home; not driving 3.5 hours roundtrip to attend kangaroo court.)
This same judge, in the same case, made a sua sponte ruling to dismiss my countersuit against the fraudster who was suing me. But, in the hearing of March 17, 2022, I, the trustee and settlor of the trust that held the title to the real estate, was in the courtroom and Judge Weaver failed to question me as a witness. Judges are allowed to question witnesses. Judge Weaver questioned the fraudster. She did not ask any questions that would elicit the truth, but I know she knows she could have asked me as trustee what my side of the story was. She had already read my counterclaim and exhibits throughout the prior year of litigation. She did not want to see the truth.
She just wanted to give property that was mine or meant to be mine to attorney William Zac White’s client and to pay Mr. White.
She had the Gestapo standing by in case I protested.
You can read the court documents on Court Connect, case 65CV-21-20 and appeal CV-22-435. The transcript is posted below, but I warn you, Court Reporter Jana Perry made substantial falsifications to the transcript in order to support Judge Weaver and Attorney White’s agenda.
Is Arkansas a Good Place to Invest or Retire? NO!
Yes, Arkansas has natural beauty and cheap real estate prices compared to many states.
But judges like Susan Kaye Weaver in Faulkner County and Searcy County give permission to attorney William Zac White to take real estate and personal property from anyone who does not have enough money to hire a lawyer at $300 per hour.
My property and property rights were taken from me without just cause and without a trial.
Property held in a trust was also given to Mr. White’s client and presumably Mr. White.
I am not making this up. It is 100% true.
You can read the docket for Pietrczak v. Laura Lynn and Rural Revival Living Trust on Court Connect. (65CV-21-20)
I appealed the orders. My briefs were filed timely on November 23, 2022. Pietrczak and Attorney William Zac White failed to file an opposing brief. Why bother when the Court consistently finds in their favor without filing any meaningful brief? (CV-22-435)
This is not the first time Judge Susan Weaver transferred property rights without requiring the recipient to follow procedure. See matters involving Richard Gawenis and the Zelda Walls Living Trust, 71CV-20-119, 71PR-19-91 and CV-21-349.
There, the errant judge corrected herself on one lower court case, but not the other, only after the trust paid an attorney for representation. The correction was upheld on appeal.
I left my home state to buy a house and retire in Arkansas. Now I am forced to go back to work, at 60, with a disease that causes fatigue and is triggered by stress.
How do I know Judge Weaver was wrong? I was present in the three hearings and read the official transcripts created by Court Reporter Jana Perry. Ms. Perry’s renditions were fictionalized. But Judge Weaver and Ms. Perry refuse to play the recordings of the hearings, the best evidence, for the public. Thus far the Court of Appeals justices have also refused to settle the record.
If you are considering moving your company or retiring to Arkansas, feel free to call me first. You will probably decide I am an intelligent and reasonable woman, and that I am not exaggerating about the corruption of the Arkansas judiciary. Your assets will not be safe in this state.
