Judge Susan Weaver Oppresses Arkansans
“Now you know what it feels like to be Black.”
I was fighting corruption in the family law courts in California. My own parental rights were violated by a commissioner named Alan Friedenthal (deceased). Eventually, the Commission on Judicial Performance and State Supreme Court found Friedenthal appeared to have a bias against me. But his Draconian orders were never overturned.
An African American colleague made the statement quoted above to me.
I moved to Arkansas to try to escape the repression. Judge Susan Weaver has gone out of her way to deny my Constitutional right to due process in my adopted home. Escape is hopeless.
I find myself thinking of my ancestors from two and more generations back. They were Jews in what is now the Ukraine. They had their property taken with no just reason, and then were slaughtered. My Paternal Grandmother escaped to Poland, migrated to Germany before Hitler took power and then made it to the United States. Nine of her siblings did not escape.
Jewish people often say “forgive, but never forget.” Unfortunately, some of the less than honest judicial officers are of Jewish descent. They have forgotten.
When police, judges or the Furor rationalize their theft of property, liberty and life based on skin color or religion, they are scapegoating. When mean-spirited government employees use their power to do these same things because they can get away with it, they are being as oppressive as the Nazis and the Klan.
It is not some irrational hatred based on genetics that drives the current oppressors. They victimize anyone they can get away with victimizing. They do anything to grab power and line their pockets.
It is sick and disturbing.
Exposing Commissioner Alan Friedenthal, Attorney William Spiller, Commissioner Glenda Veasey and their ilk did not ingratiate me to the other judges in California. In fact, a Stanford-Hastings trained attorney who represented me on a matter advised me to never step foot in a courthouse in California again. He was right.
So far, Arkansas courts and attorneys do not seem any better.
Arkansas Judge Violates Basic Due Process
For the next 30 days, I am writing an appellant’s brief in the Searcy County Arkansas case Pietrczak v. Me, 65-CV-21-20. I will post some of the highlights, as I work.
It is important to note that I reported Judge Susan Kaye Weaver to the Judicial Disciplinary and Disability Commission before the transcript of the first hearing was falsified. The JDDC declined to take action.
Federal Judge Billy Roy Wilson dismissed a case I filed regarding the falsification of the record. His order of dismissal was so deceptive, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed my appeal summarily, with no briefing allowed.
Perhaps if the courts hide facts from the public, the public will not become aware of the lack of integrity in the courts. Judges like Susan Weaver are given leave to unjustly transfer property from the elderly, often without summons served, to their favored attorneys’ clients with impunity.
Points of Appeal and Principal Authorities
1. The Court appeared to have a bias against the Appellant from before the first hearing and refused to recuse herself. All judicial officers who appear to have a bias must recuse themselves.
- United States Constitution Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment, Due Process Clause.
2. The Court participated in the falsification of the record in an attempt to legitimize legal errors and abuses of discretion. The transcripts are required to be verbatim records of what was said in court.
- United States Constitution Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment, Due Process Clause.
- Ark. R. App. P. Civ. 6
3. The Court refused to correct the record. This denied Appellant the most basic Constitutional right to due process.
- United States Constitution Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment, Due Process Clause.
- Ark. R. App. P. Civ. 6
4. The Court dismissed the Appellant with prejudice on March 28, 2022 and failed to dismiss the unrepresented Common Defense Doctrine Defendant. In the Court’s judgement against the defaulting defendant, the Court specifically made adverse rulings against the Appellant and seized Appellant’s property rights without allowing Appellant to defend herself. Arkansas has long recognized the common-defense doctrine, which provides that an answer that is timely filed by a co-defendant inures to the benefit of a defaulting co-defendant.
- Sutter v. Payne, 337 Ark. 330, 989 S.W.2d 887 (1999)
Courts Acting More Like Mobs
In one of those freakish moments when I don’t know what buttons I pressed on my phone, a Messenger chain from 2011 popped up.
This was between me and a man who was a litigant in California. He was Northern Cal, I was Southern. We never met in person. This was our last communication.
HIM: Do you still have a friendly contact at the CJP? If so, I would like her contact information. I want to file another complaint about Tulare County Superior Court.
ME: The more they [the court powers that be] figure I’ve been right since day one, the nastier they get with me. I used to talk to Charlene Drummer. Now everything needs to be in writing for me. That’s fine. No one can say “gee, we didn’t know that.”
HIM: That is precisely what is happening over here. It is easier to keep burying me than to acknowledge that I was telling the truth and therefore they acted more like a mob than a court.
Thanks to the little green men that live in my phone, or God, or whoever caused this random decade old message to appear. I feel like I just saw a billboard at the side of the interstate that said, “DON’T GIVE UP! The harder they push back, the more you know you are right.”
Evidence Judge Susan Weaver Does Not Want the Public to Hear
Judge Susan Weaver held a kangaroo court on March 17, 2022.
I was a named defendant, but Judge Weaver forbid me from making objections, testifying and cross examining the one witness, Micheal Pietrczak.
I Brought a box full of evidence to submit at the trial. I was not allowed to present any of it.
Here is one video that is a conversation between me and Mr. Pietrczak.
You may want to read the back story first.
Back Story:
I fell in love with a recovering alcoholic around Christmas 2009.
He claimed to love me and considered me his “wife”.
He was really committing fraud on me. I was a devout Christian, had assets worth about a million dollars and was 10 years older than Mike Pietrczak. He was living in a halfway house and was on probation after serving time for a felony conviction when we met.
After a year or two together, Pietrczak started drinking again. The day his probation was over, he started chain smoking weed. After years of hell, six years after we met, I broke up with Pietrczak. (I use his last name because I am married to a wonderful man now, and his name is also Mike.)
Using my capital and my brains, we accumulated assets of about $250,000. Plus, I still had my initial investment property, a share in an LLC that had increased in value to about $1.4M. I offered, and Pietrczak agreed to split the $250,000 50/50. We each had a car or truck and ATV in our name. But we had put our home in Witts Spring in Pietrczak’s name.
During the months leading up to my decision to breakup, Pietrczak agreed to gift the land and house to a trust. I was the beneficiary of the trust. We made a mortgage agreement between the trust and Pietrczak.
The mortgage agreement was void from the start for technical reasons. But I intended to make good on my promise to split the property with Pietrczak 50/50. If we broke up, one of us would keep the property and the other would get $75,000 or half the mortgage payment. Obviously Mr. Pietrczak could not come up with $75,000 in a lump sum, but anyone who could fog up a mirror could come up with $650 per month for a mortgage payment.
Our last days as a couple, Pietrczak got drunk and drove to Falling Water, a campsite. I drove separately. I wanted to see what he did on his drunken drive-abouts.
It was scary. It was dark and he was senseless. I was afraid for my life. I managed to convince him to let me leave.
The next morning, Pietrczak was on the property, but did not come into the house.
He had driven his truck too fast in 4WD and had to have it towed.
Without coming in to talk with me, he drove off on his ATV.
The next morning, at about 4 a.m., Pietrczak came into our cabin. He had blood dripping from his ear. His collar bone was jutting out, like it was broken. His foot was swollen.
I offered to call an ambulance. He said not to.
After falling asleep for a few hours, Pietrczak changed his mind about going to a hospital. He did not want to pay for the ambulance, so he asked me to drive him about an hour and forty-five minutes to Conway.
Of course, I complied. But I determined right then that I would not continue in this relationship unless Pietrczak agreed to go to a residential treatment program for his substance abuse.
Pietrczak was transferred to UAMS. It was that day that I learned that my partners in the LLC wanted to sell the shopping center it owned. I knew I would receive a big chunk of change after the sale.
I was willing to pay for Pietrczak to go to the program of his choice, anywhere in the world. But I was smart enough to not tell him that I was going to receive this substantial sum of money. His decision should be based on his desire to give up the wildlife he lived when high. Not on staying with moneybags.
Pietrczak decided against rehab.
Instead, he tried to convince me to pay him $75,000 for my half of the Witts Springs property. Many years later I obtained a letter Pietrczak handwrote and signed. He told his father that he was going to commit suicide. Another cryptic note I obtained, Pietrczak referred to suicide, whiskey, a rope and a tree.
His dad was instructed to collect the $75,000 from me, and then to have an attorney named William Zac White file a suit for many times that against me.
Pietrczak did not commit suicide successfully. He did “fall” from a tall tree at his dad’s house and was left a paraplegic.
The Pietrczak’s and Mr. White went forward with their attempt to take hundreds of thousands of dollars from me through a lawsuit.
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver, Searcy County Circuit Court, Arkansas awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars, basically a blank check, to Pietrczak and attorney William Zac White. I was eventually dismissed from the case, after Judge Weaver tortured me for almost a year. But she did not dismiss the unrepresented trust that held the rest of the assets I intended to retire on.
I lost a shitload of money in the stock market COVID-crash in March 2020. I had diversified by holding onto some real estate, but I did not move the real estate in the trust into my own name. I was afraid that if I did, Judge Weaver would call it a fraudulent transfer and have me tried for that crime.
Judge Susan Weaver would not allow me to play this tape in court. She would not allow me to say anything during the “trial” where she determined that I wrote and filed a bunch of documents that she determined were “void ab initio” and that I had no right to the Witts Spring home that was originally purchased with my money.
If you know any voters or politicians in Arkansas, send a link to them. Susan Kaye Weaver should be incarcerated. She should not be given the opportunity to tranfer ownership of property from unrepresented old people’s trusts.
Thank you.
Evidence Excluded by Judge Susan Kaye Weaver
Arkansas judge Susan Weaver did not want evidence of an alleged fraud by attorney William Zac White and his clients to be presented in court.
This video was the first of two made back-to-back. A second, longer video is being uploaded to YouTube today.
Come back later to see the heart-to-heart conversation between me and the man who defrauded me out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is a conversation Judge Susan Weaver does not want you to hear.
But then, Judge Weaver does not want the public to hear any of the hearings in the case filed against me by the alcoholic, drug abusing man who defrauded me with the help of Judge Susan Weaver and Attorney William Zac White.
Good Ol’ Boy Arkansas Sheriff Has Crooked Judge’s Back
Judge Susan Weaver in Searcy County Arkansas is making a habit of transferring assets from old womens’ trusts to her favored attorney’s clients (and therefore to her favored attorney).
She did this to me. I could not find an attorney in Arkansas willing to represent the trust. Literally, I was told “I will never win a case in front of Judge Weaver again, if I represent you or the trust.” [paraphrased, closely]
I get why Judge Susan Weaver and Attorney William Zac White would benefit from making these transfers.
But what is in it for Searcy County Sheriff Kenney Cassell? (Mr. Cassell sometimes uses “Kenny” so I’ll switch back and forth like him to help with SEO.)
The Sheriff had a recording of Mr. White’s client, Mike Pietrczak, calling the law while sloppy drunk. Mr. Pietrczak said something like: Come get this bitch. When the deputy asked what I did wrong, Pietrczak repeated that I was “a bitch”. When the deputy asked if I said anything threatening, Pietrczak said no.
Eventually I got on the phone. I was not drunk. In fact, I abstained from alcohol out of sympathy for my alcoholic boyfriend.
The deputy told me I should go stay in my office in Marshall, a 30-minute drive on a good day. This was not a good day. The roads were covered in snow and ice. The deputy told me the safest way to drive in these conditions, taking the dirt backroads. The deputy said that after Pietrczak ran out of booze and sobered up, he would call me apologetically and ask me to come home.
The deputy’s prophesy came true.
I made a Freedom of Information Act request for the recording. Sheriff Cassell’s crew had purged the tape.
Before the hearing of March 17, 2022 where Judge Weaver said she was transferring all the trust property to Mr. Pietrczak and attorney Zac White, Zac screamed at me in the courthouse. “Shut your mouth bitch!” Sheriff Cassell was in the room with me. Mr. White was in a different room. Judge Weaver was also in the small courthouse. Mr. White was not restrained by Sheriff Cassell or any of the three deputies who were there to protect…???
Later, in the courtroom during the hearing, with the full team of sheriffs present, Mr. William Z. White again called me “bitch”. He leaned toward me and spoke loud enough for two 70+ year-olds in the audience to hear.
Judge Weaver ignored the slur. So too, the big ape Cassell who masquerades as a good Christian man.
The Sheriff and Deputies stood there, watching the kangaroo court. They heard the judge shut me down any time I tried to object to impermissible evidence. Not that the judge overruled my objections. She demanded that I not object at all. She also said that if I testified, I would be practicing law unauthorized.
After this surreal and horrifying hearing ended, I pled with Sheriff Kenny Cassell to do something…anything in the pursuit of justice. I told him Pietrczak had lied on the stand. Perjury. I told him that the judge and attorney White had conspired with the court reporter in the past to fabricate what was said and not said in court. I spoke to Kenney Cassell directly and then to a young deputy at the station.
Nothing was done.
I know Kenny Cassell has a pleasant demeanor. He is a heck of a guy to go to a bar-b-que with. He will give you a firm handshake at church on Sunday.
But he is the man like that who watched as Nazis stole property from Jews and then sent the Jews off to concentration camps. Kenny Cassell is the man like that who looked at the captives beseeching him for help, gave a sympathetic pout and shrugged, palms up and shaking his helpless head.
Judge Weaver is evil. But those who stand by and let her get away with it are a special brand of puke.
Feeling Funky, But Want to KIT
Sorry my posts are few and far between. Is this what the elder years are like? One ailment after another?
My current malady is COVID. The doctor diagnosing me did not seem too concerned. COVID is not the Russian Roulette it was in 2020 or when the delta variant hit.
There were moments in the past few days when I would rather be dead than handle the pain, but modern medicine is wonderous. Pop a pill and drift off into a comfortable sleep.
Unfortunately, law has not kept up with medicine. Judges usually hold non-attorney, self-represented litigants to the same standards as a team of high paid lawyers. I remember feeling like I do now, and Judge Susan K. Weaver of Searcy County Circuit Court denied my request to postpone an in-person hearing that entailed three hours of driving for me.
Funky as I feel, I finished a petition for writ of mandate today to cause Judge Weaver to play the recording of court hearings that were deliberately falsified in the transcripts.
Here it is.
Do You Play With Cheaters?
I finally have a good excuse to write about my passion: Poker.
What does poker have to do with court corruption?
Simple. Sometimes players cheat at poker. Sometimes litigants cheat at litigation.
Sadly, sometimes “the house” (the court) is complicit.
For instance, an attorney named William Z. White maliciously filed a lawsuit against me to benefit my former romantic and business partner, Micheal “Mike” Pietrczak. (Micheal is the correct spelling of his name, though even the Federal Court got it wrong when he was convicted of using a false i.d. at the U.S.-Mexico border.)
Mike was committing fraud on me. Mr. White had a suicide note written by Mike to his father that described the fraud. He proceeded against me anyhow, claiming I was defrauding Mike.
Eventually the suit against me was dismissed twice. The second dismissal was voluntary, instigated by Mr. White after the suicide note was sent to me in a production of documents. The big box of documents looked like someone peed and pooped on some papers, then shuffled them together. I put on gloves and looked through each page.
Still, I had a common defense doctrine co-defendant, a trust. I was trustee and beneficiary of that trust. I was not allowed to advocate for the trust because I am not licensed to practice law.
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver granted default judgment against the trust. She transferred all the assets I intended to use for retirement to a brand-new trust that will fund Mike Pietrczak’s drug and alcohol abuse and the trauma’s he causes to his own body. He was paralyzed in one of his accidents, after I broke up with him. (Mike told me his medical bills cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. His lawsuit probably cost the taxpayers quite a bit more.)
Early in the second case Mr. White filed in the Searcy County Arkansas Circuit Court, 65-CV-21-20, the Court Reporter Jana Perry deliberately falsified what was said in a hearing. Even though I threw a tizzy, filing motions to settle, civil rights lawsuits and complaints to administrative agencies, Ms. Perry repeated her dishonest services by falsifying a second hearing transcript.
You may notice that I am not using my usual cautionary words, such as “allegedly”. That is because truth is a defense against defamation, and I know what I am saying is true. If any of the conspirators who cheated at court sues me for defamation, the tape of the hearing will be exculpatory evidence and Ms. Perry will be required to play it in open court with a copy of the transcript on a screen for all to see. (Unless that court cheats, too.)
I have begged Judge Weaver and the Justices at the Court of Appeals to play the tape, with no success.
My 1983 suit in Federal District Court against Ms. Perry, Judge Weaver and Mr. White was dismissed without reaching discovery by Judge Billy Roy Wilson. (I call him “Billy Bob”.)
I was going to use the tape as evidence in an FDCPA case against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC. But Judge Rudofsky is leaning towards ending that case before allowing Ms. Perry to comply with my subpoena.
Judge Weaver and her good ol’ peeps are definitely cheating.
Judge Rudofsky, if he is cheating, is much smarter and more subtle. He allows for Portfolio Recovery to file everything it wants under seal, even forms it has published to the public numerous times in other cases, with just different data. They are able to avoid scrutiny.
This is where law feels like a poker game. There is collusion going on. meaning two or more people at the table are working together. Collusion is a form of cheating.
For instance, I have watched a couple sitting next to each other. The woman was on the man’s right. Every time she played a hand, so did he. This is called “protection”. It is subtle and may happen unintentionally, as well.
I know that when I am at a table with my son, I am more likely to call a hand he is in. I know that if I lose, the money will probably go to him. He wins more hands than he loses. I would give him all my money and my right arm if he needed it. So, what’s an extra ten bucks? I should learn from the experience, because every time I play at a table with my son, I come out ahead. I should probably loosen up even when my son is not at the table.
The difference between how I play when my son is there and how the couple was playing is that I don’t play my crap hands when my son is next to me. I fold 7-2 off suit. I noticed the couple’s gambit when all other players folded and both had to expose their hands for the show down. They both had Jack-shit. (Not literally a jack and a shitty kicker. That is a colloquialism for “nothing” that was taken from poker, because a jack with a low off suit kicker is not likely to be a winning hand.) The woman had a good opening hand, but the flop made it unplayable. The man had nothing to start and nothing to finish. They both bluffed the other players out together. After that hand I paid close attention to their pattern. It defied statistical probability, so I got up and found other kids to play with.
I do not play with cheaters. Collusion is cheating.
My son, on the other hand, will. He once told me there were cheaters at the game he played the night before. I asked why he continued to play. He said “if they have to cheat to win, they are not good players. They might win a few hands against me, but I will win more. Eventually I will leave with their money.”
I don’t think my son’s theory works at law.
I took the case Billy Bob presided over to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and those Justices dismissed my appeal summarily. That means they did not allow me to write a brief. I didn’t know the appellate court could do that. Maybe I should have brought the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
I made two bids on a case in California to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Both petitions for writ of cert were denied. That is not unusual. A miniscule percentage of petitions are granted for discretionary review by SCOTUS.
On the California case I was able to have a judge admonished for his unethical behavior. That was a slap on the wrist. I believe the presiding family law judge took early retirement in part because of my complaints about her. But there was no dramatic improvement in the court.
It is too easy for judges to show a bias toward favored litigants or to outright cheat for them. They can easily collude.
Unlike at a poker game, the players are not allowed to just get up and leave without leaving all their money on the table.
Since the unethical judges will eventually transfer all the marks’ money to the opponent, is it wiser for the mark to hand her money over? I don’t think so.
Because unlike at poker, the opponent is allowed to force the mark to bring more money to the table, by filing another bullshit lawsuit or getting an impermissible order for attorney fees. Portfolio Recovery Associates and the William Zac Whites of the world make billions of dollars a year doing just that.
The Problem is…No One Gives a Fuck
No, I’m not drunk. Just pissed.
Do you know how brave a person needs to be to say, “um, excuse me Your Honor, but you just lied”?
She would need to be as brave as me.
Or stupid.
I went to the Court of Appeals here in the Great State of Arkansas and asked the inaptly named Justices to let the People hear the tape of a hearing that was fictionalized by court reporter Jana Perry in a transcript that is one part imagination and two parts greed.
They said “no”.
Not one of them was brave or stupid enough to put his name on the order, either. It was rubber stamped by the clerk.
I give up. For tonight. That doesn’t mean you need to.
A Higher Law 
Attorney Violates Judge’s Admonishment 43 Minutes After It Is Issued
Of course, Judge Susan Weaver of Searcy County Arkansas accepted the impermissible filing. She and Attorney William Zac White seem to enjoy a special relationship.
Judge Weaver filed the letter admonishing both parties to cease copying emails to the court at 4:25 PM on August 20, 2021. The letter was dated August 19, 2021. The childish duo apparently does not realize there is a time and date stamp on filings.
Attorney White filed a bizarre letter to the Court, attaching yet another interparty email immediately after. The clerk or judge needs to approve all filings before they are posted on the electronic system. Mr. White’s filing was approved and posted at 5:08 PM, 43 minutes after the judge’s letter was posted.
Notice that Mr. White’s letter was approved and posted after business hours. Now, that is service!
Here are the letters.
Judge Susan Weaver said not a word about her pet attorney’s missive.
Since Judge Weaver allows male attorneys to call 60-year-old female self-represented defendants “bitch” in open court, why would she be bothered by this unprofessional conduct? “Ms. Hammett is one of the most unpleasant opposing counsels or parties I have had the misfortune of dealing with in 14 years of practicing law.” That is appropriate to write in a letter and file in a court file. NOT.
Then there was the exhibit attached. Judge Weaver had just finished striking every exhibit filed by Ms. Hammett (me), including exhibits to a counterclaim and motions. But Weaver let the exhibit of Mr. White’s response email stand for eternity. She must find it appropriate for Mr. White to write: “I’ll be practicing law long after you have crawled back under the rock you came from.”
I am still hopeful that Zac White will lose his law license. I am hopeful that the voters will remove Judge Weaver from office in 2024. It is likely though that whoever it is that has had her back this far will pull strings, call in favors and do whatever it takes to have the election results overturned.
