Who Lied Under Oath? Searcy County Arkansas Sheriff Deputy Pierce? Or Notary Brooke Hipp?
Check out the affidavit of Searcy County Sheriff Deputy Ezra Pierce posted below.
The Secretary of State website says notary Brooke Hipp is not authorized to eNotarize.
But the affidavit is signed electronically.
What’s worse, Deputy Pierce has only handed me a set of documents on October 7, 2021.
The attorney, William White would like to prove that I received two separate packets with a summons from Deputy Pierce.
I think Judge Susan Weaver is orchestrating the fraudulent activity. She called a hearing for October 7, 2021 and had four Sheriff officers present to make sure the other five people in the courtroom were safe and orderly.
Mrs. Hipp certified that the affidavit was signed in her presence in Cleburne County on January 14, 2022.
So, why is the document electronically signed?
And how do I get a Searcy County Arkansas Sheriff Deputy to drive an hour to sign an affidavit for me?!?
I can’t even get them to respond to my inquiry about what I contend is a fraudulent affidavit.
The serious questions: Why is Deputy Ezra Pierce not using a judicial council approved proof of service? Why is Deputy Pierce opining on the legal effect of handing the summons and complaint to Laura Hammett as an individual, without the designation “trustee”? Should he be charged with the unauthorized practice of law?
When the Chief Sheriff Deputy in a small town is lying on affidavits to assist an unethical judge to transfer an old lady’s assets, who does the victim report him to?
My suggestion, don’t move to Searcy County Arkansas. It has beautiful scenery and the people in the boonies are good folks, but the po-dunk lawmen and women are a dumber version of John Grisham characters and twice as corrupt.
Judge Susan Weaver Sues Gun Maker Who Failed to Deliver Deeply Discounted AR 15 For Daddy
Judge Weaver is a self-described “daddy’s girl”, according to an interview in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
The Faulkner County judge tried to buy an AR 15 for her Dad’s 70th birthday, as you can read in court documents posted below.
Michael Varner, who worked for a gum manufacturer, agreed to build the gun before Mr. Weaver’s birthday at his employee discount rate, $715, according to Mr. Varner.
Unfortunately for Mr. Varner, there was a supply side problem with the parts.
The judge had to make her father’s birthday present a picture and a promise.
Mr. Varner said he agreed to return the $715.
But that was not enough for Judge Weaver. She filed a small claims suit against the Deer, Arkansas gunsmith and won $3,090.00 plus $115 in costs.
Plaintiff Weaver said she bought the gun directly from Wilson Combat for $2,797.20.
The court documents give no explanation of what the extra $290 was for. I guess pain and suffering.
Don’t believe me? Read the court docs posted below.
Judge Weaver garnished Mr. Varner’s wages, according to court documents.
Do you think Judge Weaver is fair and compassionate? Or a greedy tyrant who uses her position of power and influence to line her pockets?
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver Stealing Babies?
This reporter has a definite bias against Judge Susan Kaye Weaver.
The bias is caused by my belief that Susan Weaver is committing honest services fraud against me.
Because of my strong faith, I do not act maliciously toward people; not even those who spitefully abuse me.
That Christian tenant does not give license to my abuser to continue the abuse or abuse other victims.
I asked for other people to share stories about Judge Weaver of Faulkner County, Searcy County and Van Buren County, Arkansas.
One reliable professional, whose professional license is unmarred by any ethics violation, told me the professional’s observations in a dependency case presided over by Judge Susan Weaver.
The case is under seal, so I cannot verify the facts. (This is a good argument for making dependency cases open to the public.)
As the professional’s career may come to a screeching halt if judge Weaver knows who leaked the information, the professional will remain anonymous, and the facts will be kept vague purposefully. The professional did not tell me the name of any of the other people involved in the case.
This is not a court of law. You may judge the veracity of this story about a judge, as you weigh arguments against any elected official. Then use your judgment when you see the elected official on any ballot in the future.
The professional told me of a child who was taken from his mother by Judge Weaver. During a hearing for reunification, the mother had a witness present to attest that the mother had complied with all the court ordered treatment, classes and testing required for reunification.
Judge Susan Weaver refused to let the witness testify. No reason was given for excluding this evidence.
The mother and child were not reunited.
The professional thought Judge Weaver’s demeanor on the bench and ruling was “bizarre”.
Judge Susan Weaver is often quoted and has posted on the internet that she loves children. But the judge was married and divorced young, never remarried and has no children of her own.
She either does not understand that a child will be harmed if the maternal bond is destroyed, or she is an incredibly evil person who is using her elected position of power to purposefully destroy lives. Maybe both.
*****************
I’m not saying that lack of a mother – child bond guarantees a tragic life.
There are situations in which no mother is preferable to the mother God used to bring a child into the world. Foster parents and adoptive parents can be wonderful, loving parents to those whose biological parents don’t want the child or are unable to care for the child.
But, we as a society should not deny anyone’s Constitutional right to a familial relationship without giving the parents every opportunity to put forward evidence on their behalf.
Too often judges in the family law and dependency courts are jaded or just ignore the rule of law. From my own experience and the story conveyed above, I fear Judge Susan Weaver is one of the judges who separates children from their mothers without following the law.
What Can I Do About A Corrupt Court?
This is not legal advice. This writer is not an attorney. She is a public relations professional.
Court Commissioner Alan Friedenthal is no longer serving on the bench. This is a major victory for the people of California who might have otherwise had their lives and their children’s lives destroyed by the judge wanna-be.
In California, judges are elected. But commissioners are appointed and have the same authority as judges. Alan Friedenthal attempted to get elected twice and failed but was still appointed to his position of power.
I do not know why Alan retired from his commissioner paycheck and position of power. It looks like he went back into practice as an attorney and was involved in the production of a movie.
My hope is that my public relations campaign to have him removed from office helped influence his decision.
One major battle won in my efforts to rid Los Angeles of this corrupt family law “judge” was helping Fox News produce a series called “Lost in the System”. You can watch some of the series by clicking here.
So, what can you do if you are having a problem that lands you in court and you have a corrupt judge?
First, if you can afford an attorney, your chance of receiving justice in court improves by 1,000%.
If you are a regular person, you can’t afford an attorney.
Let’s rewind.
Before you get to the point of filing lawsuits…try to live a conflict free life.
There is Biblical wisdom that says, paraphrased, if another Christian harms you, speak to him first, before taking him to court. Implied is that if you harm a person, you should make them whole and be apologetic while doing so.
Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. built a crappy heating and air-conditioning unit. Advantage Service Company in North Little Rock installed that unit in my home. A large retailer I’ll call “Good Guys” sold me the faulty equipment and arranged for Advantage to do the installation.
When the HVAC failed, advantage came out to repair it several times. They demanded payment each time. When we reached close to a thousand dollars in repair bills, I looked up warranty law and found that pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975, all three companies involved must repair the unit for free.
Skipping a few steps, I eventually filed a lawsuit against the three companies for violating the Mag-Moss Warranty Act, fraud, conversion and violating the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
The Good Guys reimbursed me then for the repairs and the cost of the unit.
But the Goliath manufacturing company and its parent and partners refused to apologize or compensate me in any way. Instead of reimbursing $1,000 for the repairs, Advantage Service Company altered invoices to try to create an alternative universe.
First lesson of the day: If you have to cheat to win, don’t play.
Part of the process, one of the steps skipped above, was a small claims judge named Charles Clawson having ex parte communications with Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. When I went for a 1:30 PM hearing at 1:10 (always be early), I caught the judge and a tall man talking to each other about the case. I shyly raised my hand and said I was the plaintiff. The judge supposedly summarized what they were talking about before I arrived and sent us home.
Later Judge Clawson had email communications with me and a Goodman representative regarding the case. Before I filed a complaint with the judicial disciplinary committee in Little Rock, the judge recused himself. He had a bad attitude and was snarky when he recused himself, but he did recuse.
So, how to deal with corrupt courts?
Besides staying out of court, the second most important action you can take is to make a good record.
Court clerks have altered and removed docket entries on my cases before. The small claims clerk on the Goodman case took $12 from me to send my complaint and summons certified, then sent the wrong papers by regular mail to defendant Goodman. Goodman jumped from the bushes after 120 days and said “Gotcha! You served us improperly and the case must be dismissed”.
Instead of owning up to their error, the clerk altered the docket to show they had refunded my money, then they thought better of it and reversed the alleged refund document.
Had I not kept my receipts, the clerk would probably have lied.
Keep receipts.
Object in writing to all fishy legal maneuverings.
Keep all emails.
If you send a letter, send it certified.
If your court system allows it, sign up for electronic filing. That way, the time you are served is documented.
Next, brainstorm alternatives to litigation.
You may be able to convince a wayward company to settle with you. Everyone benefits by settlement, except corrupt judges who take bribes. If you have a corrupt judge, the settlement will need to be less than the bribe. Unfortunately, once a company gives one bribe to a judge, you will have no settlement power available against that company or their attorneys. The judge must continue to rule for the briber.
If you are lucky enough to have an honest judge assigned to your case, you will go to ADR, Alternative Dispute Resolution.
I had one company agree to pay the entire bill for ADR.
Realize that mediators and arbitrators are big business friendly. Individual plaintiffs will usually have few cases during a lifetime. Big companies are sued and sue often. They are repeat customers for the “neutral” adjudicator.
You may be able to find other regular people who had or have similar problems with your adversary.
Look at records kept by your court. Most of these are online now.
You can find contact information for similarly situated victims on their complaints.
People are usually happy to share their stories with anyone who will listen.
Write on the internet.
This blog had about 600 posts in 2013. (I wanted to retire and took them all down; alas I have been forced out of retirement.)
When I was getting dozens or hundreds of hits per day, I built a network of other litigants who were having the same troubles with Alan Friedenthal and his ilk. We swapped emails, talked on the phone, met for lunch and worked on three projects together, including the Fox News series “Lost in the System”.
Most jurisdictions have a judicial ethics commission.
File a complaint. Don’t expect too much.
The Commission on Judicial Performance in California took about three years to admonish Alan Friedenthal for an appearance of bias on my case and four others. The damage was done and irreparable.
But knowing they are being investigated might slow down the smarter corrupt judges.
Contact news media.
You can email well written pleadings to the local paper’s reporter that covers the courts.
Chances are better that a blogger like myself will be interested and repost your story.
I am trying to remove Judge Susan Kaye Weaver from her position as Circuit Court judge of Searcy County, Faulkner County and Van Buren County, Arkansas.
She is a dangerous and well connected woman. She has a reputation for playing favorites. She has a reputation of not understanding the subtleties of civil litigation. I suspect she understands every word and is trying to funnel finances from regular people who can’t afford attorneys to her pets.
If you think Judge Weaver is corrupt, please contact the JDDC in Little Rock and contact me. I promise confidentiality to those who want it.
Together we can establish a pattern and practice of corrupt acts by this wayward judge.
What to Do About a Doo Doo Attorney: Legal Malpractice Case Against William Z. White
Most Pro Se litigants cannot afford an attorney. Sometimes though, a person hires an attorney and still loses due to attorney error.
Sometimes people lose because of a judge’s error. A good attorney will fight an errant judge in the appellate court. A great attorney will call out the judge at the trial court and persuade the judge to follow the law.
What happens if an attorney does a bad job?
Usually, nothing.
Occasionally, another attorney will represent the bad attorney’s client in a legal malpractice suit.
Following a brief introduction of an allegedly mal-practicing attorney William Z. White of Heber Springs, Arkansas, there is the full text of a lawsuit filed against “Zac” for legal malpractice. The suit was settled out of court, as are the vast majority of all suits filed. (Most disputes don’t even get memorialized in a Complaint filed in a court. They are in essence “settled” before the victim must take the drastic step of filing suit.)
Remember, I am not an attorney. This is not legal advice or legal commentary. It is a recitation of facts attributed to the people who wrote legal complaints, whether private or public.
A William Z. White was found guilty of charges against him listed on the Arkansas “Court Connect” website, twice for traffic violations and once for a criminal charge referred to as “Hot Checks”.
A William Z. White was found guilty of “Hot Checks”, WC 97-2786 in July 1997. He was 20 years old, indicating a birth year about 1977. It looks like he did not accept the invitation to court, as the docket says “NO PLEA” and “GUILTY – BOND FORFEITED”.
A William Z. White born about 1977 was found guilty of speeding on the I-630 on July 21, 2003. Oddly, the docket entries were not made until 2015.
A William Z. White born about 1977 was found guilty of speeding, Ark. Code. Ann. 16-17-136 in 2019. A docket entry says:
| front moving opposite direction. was in left lane passing other vehicles and had a white SUV behind him. By the time I got up to this vehicle, the white SUV was 2 cars behind him. He tried to say that I clocked the speed of the other car, |
William Z. White apparently rethought this defense, waived appearance and pled guilty.
There is an attorney named William Z. White who I allege filed a completely bogus lawsuit against me. I allege he is shaking me down with a malicious prosecution. Unfortunately, there is a judge named Susan Kaye Weaver who appears to me to be colluding with Mr. White, who goes by Zac.
Interestingly, there is a “Susan Kaye Weaver” AKA “Susan Young” who also got a speeding ticket in Arkansas in 1997, the year William Z. White was writing hot checks. She was 18 years old, meaning born around 1979. Judge Susan Kaye Weaver was also born about 1979.
A Susan Kaye Weaver AKA Susan Young also born about 1979 was ticketed for speeding in 2000. But the officer Rhonda Hance requested no prosecution. [UPDATE 1/17/2022: Birth year attributed to story by Tammy Keith in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, June 17, 2012 and not an official record. See next paragraph.]
I don’t know how or why the Court Connect filed the Susan Kaye Weaver violations under the name Susan Young. My investigative reporter mind immediately wonders if Judge Susan Kaye Weaver’s position working for the government gave her the ability to somehow change the name in the search field. [UPDATE 1/17/2022: A story published in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette on June 17, 2012 in which Tammy Keith interviewed then District Court Judge Elect Susan Kaye Weaver said Susan Weaver “who married at 21 and divorced less than two years later…” It is possible Ms. Keith did not fact check and that the brief marriage was from 1997 (18 years) to 2001 (22 years). There was a suit for divorce filed by a Susan Young in Faulkner County in 2001 showing on Court Connect, without images of documents. This writer will try to find paper records.]
Regardless, while researching William Zac White and his apparent cohort, Judge Weaver, I came across a complaint filed against Mr. White for allegedly committing legal malpractice. It seems like a complaint my readers might find useful. (Sorry I could not put spaces between the paragraphs.)
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF HOT SPRING COUNTY, ARKANSAS
CIVIL DIVISION
MARION D. SPENCE II PLAINTIFF
VS. CASE NO. __
WILLIAM “ZAC” WHITE DEFENDANTS
COMPLAINT
Comes now the Plaintiff, Marion D. Spence II, by and through his attorneys, The Brad
Hendricks Law Firm, and for his Complaint state as follows:
PARTIES, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE
- The Plaintiff, Marion Spence is a resident of Hot Spring County, Arkansas whose
current address is 23555 Highway 51, Malvern, Arkansas 72104. - Defendant, William “Zac” White is an Arkansas attorney whose address is 706
West Quitman Street, P.O. Box 1087, Heber Springs, Arkansas 72543. - This Court has jurisdiction to hear this matter and is the proper venue for this
Complaint.
RELEVANT FACTS - The Defendant attorney was hired by Plaintiff to pursue a claim against Plaintiff’s
employer, Union Pacific Railroad Company (“Union Pacific”) under the Federal Employer’s
Liability Act (“FELA”) for shoulder injuries sustained while on the job and due to the Union
Pacific’s negligence. See Engagement Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1. - Mr. Spence’s attorney, Mr. White, filed the Complaint in United States District
Court for the Western District of Arkansas on September 1, 2017. The case was Civil Action No.
3:17-CV-3074 TLB. See Complaint, attached as Exhibit 2. - Union Pacific filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and Brief in Support on
January 18, 2019. See Motion for Summary Judgment, attached as Exhibit 3; Brief in Support,
attached as Exhibit 4 (pursuant to ARCP Rule 10(d), the Brief in Support is attached without the
large number, 229 pages, of exhibits). - An extension to respond was granted which made the Response to the Motion for
Summary Judgment due on February 8, 2019. - Mr. Spence’s attorney, Mr. White, failed to file a Response to the Motion for
Summary Judgment, despite being given an extended deadline to do so. - As a result of attorney White failing to respond, the Motion for Summary Judgment
was granted and Mr. Spence’s Complaint was dismissed with prejudice. See Memorandum
Opinion and Order, attached as Exhibit 5, and Judgment, attached as Exhibit 6. - Mr. White failed to hire an expert doctor to rebut the opinions of Union Pacific’s
expert doctors who opined that Mr. Spence’s shoulder injuries were not work related but were part
of the natural aging process. - The Memorandum Opinion explained that a plaintiff in a FELA case must present
expert testimony of his own to establish a causal connection between the injury and whatever
incident is alleged to have caused the injury. See Exhibit 5, page 4. - “The test of causation under FELA is much easier to prove than in state tort cases;
it is whether the railroad’s negligence played ‘any part, even the slightest,’ in the injury that is the
subject of the lawsuit.” Richardson v Union Pac. R. Co., 2011 Ark. App 562, 3, 386 S.W.3d 77,
80 (2011) citing Rogers v Missouri Pac. R.R. Co., 352 U.S. 500, 506 (1957). - An employee’s claim under FELA does not depend on showing that the injury was
caused by a particular act or a specific event, but can be caused by the cumulative effect of a series
of events or due to the employee’s weakened condition. Fletcher v. Union Pac. R. Co., 621 F.2d
902, 909 (8th Cir. 1980). The railroad has a duty to protect the employee from further injury. Id. - Mr. Spence needed an expert to opine that even if Mr. Spence’s shoulder was
degraded by age and years of use (like all older humans), it is the lifting of ties on the railroad that
caused the injury that required surgery and caused his serious problems. - The repetition of lifting and placing at least 1000 plates per day placed excessive
strain on Mr. Spence’s shoulders and he was made to continue doing that same work even after he
complained of extreme pain to the track foreman and even after an injury report was filed. See
Exhibit 2, page 4.
PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE - Defendant had a duty on behalf of his client to use reasonable diligence and skill
ordinarily used by attorney’s acting in the same or similar circumstances. - Defendant’s conduct fell below the generally accepted standard of practice when
he failed to hire an expert to rebut the opinions of the opposing experts. - Defendant’s conduct fell below the generally accepted standard of practice when
he failed to file a Response to the Motion for Summary Judgment. - As a result of the negligence of Defendant, judgment was entered against Plaintiff
and Plaintiff’s claim was dismissed with prejudice. - Plaintiff would have likely prevailed on the Motion for Summary Judgment and the
underlying case had he provided “even the slightest” connection between the injury and the work
at the railroad. - Defendant Union Pacific had already offered $100,000.00 to settle the case and, as
often the case, settlement negotiations were on hold pending the ruling on the Motion for Summary
Judgment. See Settlement Memorandum, attached as Exhibit 7. - As a result of Plaintiff’s attorney failing to hire an expert and failing to file a
Response to the Motion for Summary Judgment, Plaintiff suffered damages.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays for Judgment against Defendant for compensatory
damages in an amount greater than is required for diversity jurisdiction ($75,000.00); together with
any and all special, incidental or consequential damages to which Plaintiff may be entitled.
Finally, Plaintiff prays for attorney’s fees and costs and for all other just and proper relief.
PLAINTIFF REQUESTS A JURY TRIAL.
Respectfully Submitted,

LLOYD W. “TRE” KITCHENS, ABN 99075
***************************************************
Coincidentally, I had Tre Kitchens agree to represent me in the case filed by Mr. White, before Judge Weaver’s bias became so apparent. Before collecting his retainer and after a slew of bad calls by the judge, such as ignoring Mr. White’s failure to respond timely to several motions, Mr. Kitchens refused to take a $5,000 check I offered to retain him. He took on Mr. White in the malpractice case above and may have prevailed at settlement, but no one really wants to take on City Hall. Especially in the backwoods, inbred culture in the Ozarks.
Kleptocracy Denies Justice
Judge Susan K. Weaver is not a judicial officer in a third world country. She just acts like one.
Shockingly, there does not seem to be anyone with any power who cares.
This writer filed a civil rights complaint against Judge Weaver. The claim is that Judge Weaver conspired with an attorney named William Zac White and a court reporter to create a fiction of what was said in a hearing.
The lawsuit was dismissed. Supposedly, the state court presided over by Susan Weaver can correct the judge and there is no harm done. The fox can smack itself on the nose, and that will somehow put feathers back on the chickens.
The Federal District Court Judge Billy Roy Wilson said he was dismissing the 42 USC 1983 case because Judge Weaver, Court Reporter Jana Perry and even attorney William White all have immunity.
If citizens don’t stand up against tyranny, those who land in positions of power are free and will continue to make decisions that enrich their friends and themselves.
The courts, rather than being a last line of defense against greed will be used to transfer wealth from the poor and middle class to sleazy but rich attorneys and judges.
Judge Susan K. Weaver Appoints Attorney William Z. White KING OF THE COURT
Hear ye, Hear ye!
Searcy County Circuit Court Judge Susan Kaye Weaver has refrained from granting a motion to quash a ridiculous subpoena issued by Mr. White of Heber Springs. The subpoena demanded me to produce all tangible and intangible items that pertain to me or three trusts or my former partner since 2009.
I’m still scratching my head, trying to figure out how to produce an “intangible” and wondering how to print out all the blog posts, emails, receipts, contracts, letters, complaints and evidence, litigation documents and other items that were supposed to be produced in three days.
The effect of not ruling on my objection and motion to quash is that I am not required to produce the requested items. But it leaves it open. At any moment, Judge Weaver can deny my motion to quash. (She took 14 months to rule on a motion to compel arbitration, so the subpoena may become effective some time in 2032.)
On Friday afternoon, Mr. White decided to be obnoxious again. Here is part of his email to me:
“Also, please accept this as my only good faith attempt to resolve the production of the documentary evidence I have commanded you to produce via my subpoena. You have until 5:00 p.m. Monday October 25, 2021 to begin to produce the documents I have commanded you to produce. If you fail to begin producing the commanded documentation I will move forward with a petition for discovery sanctions and contempt charges seeking among other things your incarceration. I hope you have a good weekend.”
He has “commanded” that I produce the documents. Commanded.
Black’s Law Dictionary does contain the word “command”.
command n. (14c) 1. An order; a directive. 2. In legal positivism, the sovereign’s express desire that a person act or refrain from acting a certain way, combined with the threat of punishment for failure to comply.
Well, that makes Zac White the sovereign. I best bow down, genuflect and borrow a box truck to fill with items tangible and intangible.
Does anyone know where I put that dream I had on May 16, 2013?
Am I the Only One Who Notices Court Corruption?
In the last few months, Judge Weaver in Faulkner County and Searcy County has lied…flat out lied…she directed the Court Reporter to transcribe a hearing inaccurately and she has looked the other way while opposing counsel gets away with…not murder, but the unethical taking of a 40 acre property and threatening me, a 59 year old woman with incarceration.
Judge Charles Clawson in Faulkner County District Court had ex parte communications with an opposing party. He eventually recused from my case, but only after dooming it (barring one honest, just judge undoing the damage).
If they treat me this way, they must treat others like this. Please let me know your story. Send an email to bohemian_books@yahoo.com and let me know how much is confidential, or if something can be repeated but not attributed to you.
Thanks.
Arkansas Judge Allowed to Conspire With Court Reporter to Create Inaccurate Transcript
Judge Susan Weaver made up a lie. She said she made an oral order during a hearing on August 4, 2021. Then, 15 days later, she put the purported oral order into writing and claimed the adversely affected litigant had not made an opposition timely.
Five days later, the Court Reporter Jana Perry produced a transcript of the hearing. Lo and behold, the Judge was quoted as making the oral order and there was no objection from the adversely affected litigant, me.
I tried to obtain a copy of the recording of the August 4th hearing, both by a motion in the underlying case and by an independent FOIA request. (Freedom of Information Act)
Judge Weaver refused thus far to allow the recording to be played.
I filed a Federal claim under 42 USC 1983 for deprivation of my constitutional right to due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s office defended the Judge and Court Reporter.
Deputy AG Michael Mosley filed a motion to dismiss.
Mr. Mosley misstated the complaint and attributed me with saying the court waited 10 days after the written motion to grant it. I clearly wrote that the written motion was granted one day after it was written.
Federal District Court Judge Billy Roy Wilson characterized the suit thus: “Plaintiff filed a complaint criticizing how her state-court case is proceeding.” He dismissed the complaint with no leave to amend.
I was not criticizing the proceedings in state court in general. I was criticizing that inaccurate transcripts are being created, purposefully, by a judge and a court reporter.
Apparently Judge Wilson and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge believe we have no constitutional right to an accurate record of court proceedings.
Eventually the recording of the August 4th hearing may be made public.
Or maybe not.
