Why is Laura Lynn Hammett not Writing on Her Court Corruption Blog?
My Dear Readers,
I will miss our one-sided conversations as much as you do, but my family needs my time right now. My son had a serious accident at work. He miraculously survived, but prayers for a full recovery are appreciated. I need to visit him in the hospital and help care for my granddaughter. I will need to make this blog a low priority for now.
My reply brief was due on a case against First American Home Warranty Corporation today.
What I wrote was not my best work, but I managed to file before 1 p.m. The crazy thing is that the clerk did not accept and input it. The clerk did not send a notification of any errors nor reason for non-acceptance, either. Is it something I said?
You be the judge. UPDATE: The clerk accepted and filed my document at 8:09 a.m. the morning after this post was published. It was file stamped when received yesterday at 12:46 p.m.
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied: The Arkansas Judiciary is Slow to Stop Judge Susan Weaver
FREE Doc of the Day
Sorry for a couple late night typos. Most importantly, I did not notice that auto-correct changed the word “caricaturization”, which is not a word in the dictionary, but imparted my meaning, to “characterization”. My meaning was that Judge Weaver acts in a way that turns herself into a caricature of a Southern, small-town judge, like you meet in a John Grisham novel.
If I had it all to do over again, I would write: “Judge Susan Kaye Weaver caricatured herself by exaggerating her corruption more than a character in a John Grisham novel.”

Judge Susan Weaver Orders Continuance of Trial on Her Own Initiative to Benefit Big Bank
In yet another act of vexatiousness toward pro se litigants, Judge Susan Kaye Weaver of Faulkner County, Arkansas sua sponte decided to continue a trial against a big bank defendant. Judge Weaver claimed there was good cause to order the continuance; There was improper service of the complaint on the bank. The plaintiff said she served the summons and a subpoena at the same time, and she thinks that the defendant’s acknowledgment suffices.
It is the fact that Judge Weaver delayed a continuance for a pro se defendant on a separate case who wrote a motion for the continuance and two proposed orders because the defendant was not served at all, until the day of the trial and after the pro se defendant filed exhibits to be used at trial.
The errant judge appeared to be collecting discovery for the represented party. The attorney for that party, William Zac White failed to file exhibits before the scheduled trial.
Instead, he filed an opposition to the motion for continuance a couple days before trial, six weeks after the motion was filed. More bizarre, Zac White asked for a continuance verbally at the trial and it was granted by Judge Susan Weaver. The very same Susan Weaver who took it on herself to continue the trial against U.S. Bank for lack of proper service, refused to grant a continuance for an unserved pro se litigant and then granted a continuance for the represented party who failed to serve summons.
The pro se defendant was dismissed after about two years, but her property rights were still transferred by Judge Susan Weaver to Mr. White’s client, without allowing the pro se plaintiff an opportunity to speak in her own defense.
That case was briefed on appeal over a year ago, with no response from Pietrczak, and is still on the Arkansas Court of Appeals docket, undecided. 65-CV-21-20, Pietrczak v. Laura Lynn and Rural Revival Living Trust.

As you can see, William Zac White is an embarrassment to the legal profession and Judge Susan Weaver should be removed from office.
The Lawyer and the Lazy Judge: How Susan Weaver Runs a Courtroom
I am not lazy. I am busy.
Today’s Doc of the Day is a link instead of a doc. Click here.
I wish I saw this article before I wrote my appellate brief for Micheal Pietrczak v. Laura Lynn, et al. Not that being right and having the best authorities helps in Arkansas. My litigation adversary represented by William Zac White of Heber Springs did not even bother to file an opposition brief and the COA has not made a ruling in the seven months since the appellee’s response was due.
The article discusses the difference between Federal court, where the judge writes the orders and judgments, and Arkansas courts, which allow the prevailing party to write the orders and judgment as a draft, and the judge usually just rubber stamps it.
Judge Susan Weaver takes it a step further. She will fail to rule on a motion if she does not like the only reasonable outcome, then use the excuse for her dereliction of duty that she is waiting on the litigant to draft the order.
But, if she wants to dismiss a counterclaim even though the counter defendant failed to file any response, she goes ahead and does that sua sponte, without giving a logical reason.
She did these things to me.
She also granted a written motion allowing Pietrczak an extension of time to serve a summons without giving me time to respond in writing and said the written order is the same as her oral order. It was not.
The article addresses this same unethical behavior. “Finally, when opposing counsel submits an order to the court, objections should be made quickly to any substance.”
I objected, but to no avail.
Court Reporter Jana Perry went along with the ploy and fictionalized what was said in the hearing. Then Judge Weaver, Attorney General Leslie Rutlege, the Court of Appeals and even federal district court judges, Billy Roy Wilson and Lee Rudofsky all made excuses why the public should not hear the recording that would not follow the transcript.
Hmmm?
Judge Susan Weaver Gives Tacit Approval to Fraud on UAMS and Old Lady, Me
Judge Weaver received the Doc of the Day, my motion for Criminal Contempt against Attorney William Zac White and his client Mike Pietrczak, and ignored it. The accused fraudsters did not file an opposition.
Judge Weaver was completely silent as to the accusations. She finally dismissed the case against me, with prejudice, but still gave the property Pietrczak and I were fighting over to the accused fraudster. She approved a fraudulent transfer of the property to an irrevocable trust. She even wrote that she would help with the transfer.
The unethical judge never addressed the motion for contempt.
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver also lied in an order by saying she listened to an audio recording of a hearing and she insisted the recording was accurate, even though the transcription was grossly inaccurate. Weaver blocked me from having the recording played in public.
So far, the justices at the Arkansas Court of Appeals have given me no relief from any of the errant orders.
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver is the elected judge in three Arkansas counties, Searcy, Faulkner and Van Buren.
If she has the audacity to put her name on the ballot in 2024, vote her out.
Here is a copy of the filed motion for criminal contempt and a few exhibits, the fraud notes trio and a record of Mike Pietrczak’s felony conviction for misuse of a passport at the U.S. Mexico border.
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.
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.)
