Judge Haracz sued in fed court for systemic violation law & destruction of family

Judge Haracz is a notorious domestic relations judge in Cook County, IL with a long record of family destruction and tremendous damage to children due to his relentless illegal orders that transfer family funds to his acquaintances and prolong cases so as to enrich court appointed child representatives and attorneys.

Complaints to federal and local law enforcement, chief judges, the IL Attorney General and the IL Attorney Regulatory Commission have gone unheeded. Numerous appeals to the IL Appellate Court and IL Supreme Court have been to no avail, as they are part of the problem in failing to uphold the civil rights of children and non-custodial parents, or those with shared parenting.

I believe an intensive investigation needs to be done against Judge Haracz and other family court judges and their appointed evaluators, representatives, and supervisors.

A new federal lawsuit has a good chance of correcting this issue in one case although it will never erase the damage done to the family and the children.

How does SARS-CoV-2 virus (a member of coronavirus family) pandemic compare to 1918 influenza pandemic?

 

Wash your hands& STAY THE FUCK HOME

My grandfather born in 1887 & an Austrian-Hungarian army pharmacist being sent to Russian front told me he got on a troop train with many soldiers slightly fatigued in 1918.

 

Ference Lörincz PhD Chemist 1886-1980

By the time they arrived 1 in 10 were dead having drowned in bloody froth.

The 1918 flu killed 18-25 yr  olds relentlessly within 12-24 hrs of onset. Some army bases experienced 80% death rate.

Symptoms were sudden onset severe muscle aches, terrible headache, high fever, & upper respiratory symptoms of wet cough & sniffles, with rapid onset breathing issues & delerium. The illness lasted about 10 days with fever breaking in 5-7 days and 2-3 day incubation period plus patients infectious mostly when sick & day before 1st symptoms. Spread was droplet not airborne.

My grandfather had suffered with the 1889 flu pandemic thought to be related. So he had partial immunity most likely. He suffered a mild case. Obviously no vaccine was available, but unlike COVID19 the population had a level of partial immunity due to endemic yearly seasonal influenza infections. This means generally no more than about 20% of population gets influenza yearly.

 

No one in world today had partial immunity at the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic. So, over several years, 80+% of the population can easily become infected if no vaccine available.

COVID19 will burn out when 80% (As of 07/17/2020 it is now questioned as to percent that will lead to herd immunity-maybe as low as 60% or less?) of the population has had it & become immune. 

If presume NO social distancing, mask wearing, or precautions, & 80% of total population of world becomes infected over 2-3 year period, with 40% suffering only asymptomatic infection, 75 to 79% will recover and 1-5% will die (70,000,000 to 350,000,000 worldwide & 3,310,000 to 16,550,000 in USA over next 12-18 mos).

Note: As of 07/17/2020 it has been discovered that immunity developed after infection wiih SARS-CoV2 may not last long. Answer to how long immunity via antibodies or T-cells lasts is therefore UNKINOWN.

Number infected by country starting after country’s 1st 100 cases as of 3/24/2020

In view of this disastrous pandemic, it is likely that in future all people will wear masks, wash hands & social distance during flu season.

COVID19 is the illness not the virus and has symptoms of dry cough, low grade fever & fatigue with mild muscle aches. It has a 3 to 14 day incubation period. There are rare reports of incubation period being up to 24 days.

15 to 18% who get sick on day 7 or 8 suffer shortness of breath which rapidly worsens ; they need oxygen for a few days.

This symptom is insidious & creeps up on a victim without notice suddenly just as fever abating. So, that is why people are being found dead at home or in their nursing home bed before they call for help.

 

3 % of infected will need a ventilator or will die. There are not enough ventilators, so consensus criteria from medical community is that ventilators will be used 1st for young and healthier persons. This is a devastating decision for hospital personnel to make. To avoid conflict of interest, hospitals have written triage plans & designated disaster triage teams so the attending physician does not make that decision & ethical principles are followed.

This triage & ventilator shortage means that during peak of epidemic in an area when medical resources insufficient, if over 65 yrs old, especially if chronically ill with lung or heart disease, diabetes or cancer you will be given oxygen & comfort care while you die, but NOT offered ventilator treatment. At the peak of waves of illness it is likely that 2 of 3 people needing ventilators will have to be given comfort care for the dying instead.

I am in this group. THOSE OF US AT HIGH RISK MUST MAKE END OF LIFE ARRANGEMENTS NOW!

The needs of the many outway the needs of the few

Some have diarrhea & vomiting on day 3 to 8 of illness and some later during illness have sniffles. This increases risk of infection to others.

A peculiar symptom of some even with mild illness or in incubation period is loss of sense of smell & taste.

South Korea, China, Japan & Singapore have proven that

STRICT WIDESPREAD testing, case identification, contact identification and tracing, isolation of contacts for 14 days & quarantine of patients CAN SUPPRESS & CONTROL OUTBREAK.

They routinely wear masks during flu & cold season, bow instead of kiss, handshake for greetings & practice excellent hygiene.

The virus is droplet spread 1-4 meters depending on wind & other conditions NOT AIRBORNE like measles or chicken pox. In airplanes people were infected 2 rows ahead or behind a case. It is believed that 10 minutes of exposure within 6 feet of a case is likely to result in infection.

However, hospital personnel are at extremely high risk due to very close exposure & medical procedures which can spray infectious fluids.

Social distancing with strict hand washing & surface disinfecting is key to prevent spread. In absence of strict social distancing and in enclosed spaces masks & eye protection are important.

Coronaviruses can remain infectious on surfaces for hours & can be spread to a person by hand touching surface then face. Extensive spread by touching common surfaces on cruise ships before strict quarantine & isolation in rooms likely cause of rapid spread on cruise ships.

It HAS NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED that virus can remain infectious on a paper or cardboard package for more than a day, but lab tests show it is stable on cardboard for 72 hours. Also, it can in some circumstances remain stable & therefore theoretically infectious in sufficient dose on plastic surface like packing tape for several days so discard packing cover or box & wash hands after opening package.

Best to open a package with one hand or gloves and remove inside with another hand or after remove glove. Or, wash hands after open package before removing what is inside. Then discard package and wash hands.

If sick isolate at home & wear mask if anyone enters your room to help contain coughed or sneezed infectious droplets.

Use strict hygiene at home. Disinfect doorknobs, surfaces, toilet handles & seats, etc. and DO NOT SHARE TOWELS UTENSILS OR ANY PERSONAL ITEM.

Stop using common serving bowl ot hot pots. Cook who meticulously washed hands should serve food.

At grocery stores do not bring reusable bags. Wipe cart handles with disinfectant wipe if possible. Wear mask to protect check out person & grocery workers. Keep 2 cart distance from others.

Homemade cloth masks are acceptable if cover nose & mouth well. Launder with soap and bleach, but soap and drying with sunlight or high dryer heat will also disinfect. CAREFUL when take off mask not to touch front if healthy & throw in bucket of bleach or disinfectant water before laundering. SOAP INACTIVATES CORONAVIRUS.

Take walks with social distancing or sit in sunlight. UV B inactivates virus.

Keep immune system healthy with good sleep, sufficient Vitamin D from daily sunlight as it is made in sun exposed skin or supplement if only indoors or in northern climates, & proper amount Vitamin C. 15 minutes strong sunlight on hands & face can produce 25,000 IU vitamin D in skin of a light colored person.

Do not hoard TP & food. Supply chains are working & stress & depriving elderly & disabled of food & hygiene supplies will make pandemic worse. UNITED WE THRIVE-DIVIDED WE FAIL.

Check on elderly disabled & mentally ill & designate a healthy person to shop for them or pick up medicine if no delivery available. Try to use gloves & masks when interacting with elderly & disabled during pandemic. TALK TO THEM FREQUENTLY from 6 feet away or by social media to maintain their mental health.

If suffering from domestic violence ask local authorities where is nearest designated shelter where you can go to isolate AND BE SAFE & GO THERE.

If sick, CALL YOUR DOCTOR, PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER, CLINIC ETC BEFORE going there.

PAY ATTENTION TO LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES & WHO RECOMMENDATIONS

If severely depressed or anxious contact friends family or therapist & talk on social media frequently and do not watch news or public health information more than once per day.

China and New York proved that strict lockdown during epidemic CAN STOP THE SPREAD & produces results in 4 to 8 weeks if strictly enforced, saving millions of lives.

It is likely that drug treatments will be available in 2 to 6 months & a vaccine in 18 to 35 months.

 

Do not try treatments not prescribed by doctors.

 

A man died from taking chloroquine phosphate – he found as a treatment for fish tanks. The antimalarial drug chloroquine, although used widely in the world for malaria and certain other inflammatory diseases, is dangerous as causes fatal heart arrhythmia if used improperly. 45 countries are participating in WHO Solidarity drug trial of chloroquine & other drugs to see if there is a safe dose that MIGHT help treat COVID19. Nothing proven as helpful yet DESPITE anecdotal claims.

Note: As of 07/17/2020 doctors have been able to reduce the ICU death rate from COVID19 from 60% to 40%. New information is learned daily. It is now known that if severely ill a steroid call dexamethasone and high doses of anticoagulants may help reduce the death rate.  Hydroxycloroquine has now been proven ineffective and research now shows it may actually slightly increase the death rate.   Remdisivir, an anti-viral drug has also been shown to be somewhat helpful, but when during illness is best to give is unknown. Other drug trials are still ongoing.

More than 480 people died & 700 injured-many permanently blind, in Iran from methanol poisoning as methanol was sold by a quack as a cure. Alcohol (ethanol is for drinking) is illegal in Iran so people are ignorant about the difference between toxic methanol and drinkable ethanol.

Until treatment & vaccine available there will be waves of new hot spots springing up all around world requiring strict lockdown for 1-3 months in those regions.

Some regions will experience repeated waves of infections until 60-80% of the population is immune, depending upon how disciplined the population can be in following hygiene & social distancing during upswing in cases.

WIDESPREAD testing is key to control.

Tragically war zones, crowded 3rd world cities with urban ghettos & high comorbidity rates for TB, measles, diarrheal disease, lung disease due to pollution or high rates smoking will suffer horrific case fatality rates of 5-10%.

We MUST UNITE, FIGHT, FIRE UP all resources, & SHARE resources research & strategies all around world

Cook County Courts Violate ADA, Still use Excessive Bail & Deny Right to Present Defense

Dr. Linda Shelton a whistle-blower against corrupt Cook County Court Judges, Corrupt and Malicious Sheriff Staff, and Incompetent Corrupt Cook County Assistant State’s Attorneys has been under relentless false charges in retaliation for whistle blowing.

UPDATE: OCT 7, 2020 After defaming Shelton with a false statement  to the court – and a new judge as Judge Cannon has retired, a new senior prosecutor requested that the case be dismissed and it was.  She lied so that the State’s Attorney seems right & this makes it more difficult to sue for false arrest and malicious prosecution.  The use of a nolle prosequi order is not an admission of innocence by the State’s Attorney, just a decision not to prosecute.  It is used instead of a straight dismissal so that the State has a plausible argument that the defendant was guilty and makes it difficult to sue the State or the complainant. This is plain corruption, but nice to have the case dismissed.

NOTE: Courts closed due to Coronavirus until after July 3 & my next court date has been set at July 21, 2600 S. California, Chicago, courtroom 506 – after 10AM. Come to court  and show support –  offer to accompany Shelton or serve as her disability assistant to help if she passes out or suffers a PTSD flashback, plus help her handle papers and take notes.

Sheriff Staff including Assistant Chief Nolan have ordered deputies to harass Shelton and made dozens of false charges against her over 20 years. Read the evidence here. It contains a 55 page Illinois Supreme Court filing and a couple of dozen pages of evidence. If you want all 2000 pages of evidence proving extreme systemic corruption in Cook County Courts, with judges, prosecutors, and Sheriff staff contact with and provide an email – picepil@aol.com

Shelton requests the public to show up in court and stand-up against the above injustices. Help those who help you!

Here is her recent plea to the Illinois Supreme Court to stop these injustices including:

1. Excessive bail of $300,000 now for a case pending for seven years – charged with felony battery of an officer for alleged to have “touched an officer’s ear” without injury during a PTSD flashback, purpose triggered by Sheriff Deputies and when Deputies pushed disabled Shelton who has serious neurologic disease including tremors and spasticity that cause her to reach out and grab anything when she loses balance. Possible sentence 3-14 years.
2. Violation of Americans with Disability Act in numerous ways described in Shelton’s pleading.
3. Violation of right to compulsory process and to present a defense. – Judge Cannon has quashed ALL of Shelton’s defense subpoenas needed to prove she has disabilities and that the Sheriff Staff were told not to trigger PTSD flashbacks – the Judge has ruled Shelton cannot use this as a defense.

Shelton’s defenses include:

1. no probable cause, along the line of cases leading to the United States Supreme Court’s Ruling in Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509, 533-34, 124 S. Ct. 1978, 158 L. Ed. 2d 820 (2004) and its related consent decree in underlying District Court case, that when the state violation of the ADA causes a defendant to commit an offense, then this illegal act by the state does not allow the defendant to be charged (due to due process, equal protection, and other constitutional and affirmative defenses including entrapment, outrageous government conduct, etc.),
2. no probable cause as shown by no intent possible, a necessary element of the offense, as the state was informed that Shelton was “misperceiving ongoing events” and therefore unable to form conscious intent to commit the offense; state players, i.e. Sheriff Courtroom Deputies, knowing that Shelton swings her arms around her head during a flashback (as informed by the CDC and witnesses to flashbacks and having previously witnesses a flashback) misused this information to trigger a flashback and make sure that officers were in proximity so they would be unknowingly touched by Shelton – the state knowingly caused the offense,
3. entrapment as the actions of the officers appear to have been willful and planned, knowing that Shelton does not have a propensity to attack anyone, knowing that certain actions trigger PTSD flashbacks which put Shelton in a mental state where she relives a previous attack and believes she is suffering blows from an officer, knowing that she loses balance easily and will reach out to steady herself – presumably caused Shelton to reach out to steady herself as well as swing her arms around her head trying to fend off not present, but “perceived blows” as a result of PTSD flashback,
4. outrageous government conduct or the due process defense, as the state induced this offense, knowing Shelton was incapable of forming intent during a flashback and by misusing HIPAA protected information (the description of triggers for the flashbacks), caused a situation that shocks the conscience, and
5. altered mental state at the time of the offense or amnesia for the time around the offense, similar to the recent holding in People v. Stahl, 2014 IL 115804, which means that Shelton is legally unfit for trial as she cannot assist defense counsel in describing what happened at the time of the offense.

These are some of the ways that Shelton has helped the public:

Shelton has testified against the State of Illinois numerous times or provided copious evidence of incompetence or corruption of state officials and court players to the FBI and U.S. Attorney, as well as advocated for litigants abused by the State, for 20 years including, but not exclusively partially as follow:

1. Against DCFS’ (Illinois child protection) abuse of parents, in class action case Dupuy v. Samuels, 397 F. 3d 493 (7^th 2005);
2. Evidence against Cook County Jail including 30 affidavits from abused detainees that Shelton handed to Assistant U.S. Attorney Joan Laser, regarding Sheriff/Jail systemic civil rights violations and sadistic/illegal/malpractice behavior of Director of Psychiatry at Cook County Jail, resulting in firing of the Director of Psychiatry as well as a 98 page scathing letter to the Cook County Board and Sheriff, dated July 11, 2008 – which eventually resulted in a consent decree (AUSA Laser through now Magistrate Judge Albukerk thanked Shelton for this evidence).
3. Against Orlando Jones – appointed CEO of Provident Hospital when Shelton served as Chief of the Pediatric Service hired to re-open the Pediatric Dept., the right hand man for corrupt acts on behalf of Cook County Board President John Stronger Sr., – no further actions were taken by federal law enforcement as Mr. Jones committed suicide on a beach near Mayor Daley’s beach home before he could be indicted. Shelton had opened the pediatric department at Provident Hospital of Cook County and had witnessed the criminal acts of CEO Jones, appointed by Stroger, at the time – Shelton turned over her evidence to the FBI.
4. Against DCFS in a child abuse administrative appeal for a dyslexic mother who was falsely accused of child abuse and had been viciously abused by DCFS, CH case. Shelton served as CH’s “authorized representative” before an administrative law judge on appeal and won the case (SCR # 0852876-A, KT #2001-E-01227, AHU # 52-1516).
5. Against the Cook County Sheriff for failure to provide a courthouse ADA compliance plan under FOIA, and then for failing to even have a plan, a violation of federal law. (Case 04 CH 15787)

Pervasive incompetence, corruption, & injustice in Cook County IL courts

Disability Rights – NYAV

Washington, D.C. 20530

REGARDING: Systemic violation of due process rights in Cook County Courts, including ADA rights, habeas rights, right to reasonable bail, right to compulsory process, right to present a defense, as well as abuse of disabled detainees by Judges and Cook County Sheriff Staff.

NOTE: Please refer to evidence on enclosed CDs

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this in regards to numerous persons mentioned in this document, including myself, as well as numerous unmentioned persons. The enclosed motions, petitions, complaints are just the tip of the iceberg. They include individual complaints as well as complaints concerning classes of litigants and defendants who are abused by the courts in Cook County and Illinois, not just me, but many others in our loosely associated group of citizens who are victims of court corruption (some of this evidence is not in this letter or attachments, but the people I name here have it – as well as many have already given info to the FBI or U.S. Attorney).

These issues include those who are victims of mortgage fraud, those falsely alleged to be unfit for trial and sent to secure mental health facilities without any due process whatsoever, those who are parents falsely alleged to be unfit to parent individually and forced to pay child support, without due process, out of their Social Security Disability income, or those elderly adults who are improperly placed under guardianship so that they are removed from their homes and property and their property sold, without due process, and someone else decides their property and care issues to their detriment , excluding relatives who have done nothing wrong– essentially court sanctioned theft of estates by often un-needed court appointed child representatives, counselors, and guardians. If the Bill of Rights means anything, you will carefully review the enclosed and interview everyone mentioned in this document.

Checking your internal FBI database you will see they have FALSELY defamed me using a history of false arrests and lies about my mental health to prevent FBI intake workers from taking me seriously. This is NOT a joke; I am NOT mentally ill contrary to the rumors and false statements made by the Cook County Sheriff, improperly influencing the U.S. Marshals and federal judges– see attached psychiatry reports from top U.S. forensic psychiatrists; this documentary evidence proves what I say and the CD contains medical and psychiatric records proving the rumors about me are FALSE. Do not believe the sensational hearsay you have about me that is being used to defame me and cover-up what I can prove – this defamation is meant to discredit me so you do not review these documents! – As well as meant to be retaliation against me complaining about conditions at the Cook County Jail and judicial corruption – see the many complaints I have already made to your office. You need to investigate and take down the corrupt officers, attorneys, and judges in Cook County, as well as severely reprimand certain U.S. Marshals as well as investigate several federal judges. This is much larger than simply “Greylord 2”.

As you know, since I worked for Orlando Jones (Cook County Board President Stroger Sr’s Godson and major actor in corruption, when our contract group opened Provident Hospital of Cook County, which the FBI raided and confiscated documents), before he committed suicide and therefore, you could not indict him, as well as due to the evidence I gave to AUSA Joan Laser regarding violation of civil and disability rights by Sheriff Staff, I am well informed about Cook County and Illinois government corruption. In addition, over the last many years I have discovered, through insiders in the Cook County Courts, the Court Clerk’s Office, and the Chicago Department of Health, about a lot more corruption.

I document, with evidence on enclosed CD and on enclosed documents, such extensive ignorance/ incompetence and/or corruption of judges, officers, the Illinois Attorney General’s office, Cook County States Attorneys, and Public Defenders in the Cook County court system, of administrators and attorneys at Elgin Mental Health Center and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, as to make the court system in Illinois, particularly Cook County, either so full of patronage and corruption or a criminal enterprise that on a pervasive, institutionalized basis denies civil, constitutional, and statutory rights of litigants and defendants, in many cases for monetary gain or even just for prestige.

For example:

1. The ADA is ignored and violated on a systemic basis by Cook County Court Chief Judge, Cook County Court judges, and the Cook County Court Disability Coordinator. The Court Disability accommodation system operates in violation of recommendations of Justice Stephens in his opinion in Lane v. Tennessee (2004). Several people have suffered exacerbation of medical problems and in one case a stroke, when the courts have ignored ADA accommodation requests.
2. Excessive unconstitutional bail is set by Cook County judges for indigent persons, in violation of Illinois’s bail statute, 725 ILCS 5/110-1, et seq. (“the Statute”), which require courts to set a monetary bail for pretrial arrestees unless there is a meaningful inquiry into the person’s ability to pay and in amounts in excess of what the person is able to pay. Plaintiffs and the Plaintiff classes in Cook County Court class action case number 16CH13587complain that this practice violates their rights under the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the United States and Illinois Constitutions, U.S. Const., amend. XIV, Ill. Const.1970, art. I, § 2, and under the Excessive Bail and Sufficient Sureties Clauses of the United States and Illinois Constitutions respectively, U.S. Const., amend VIII, Ill. Const. 1970, art. I, § 9. Steps have begun to make bond court come into compliance-though not very effective. YET, States Attorney Foxx is refusing to review the excessive bail already set for those out on bail or even discuss the matter– despite her claims she has fixed this problem. See Motion to Reduce Bail attached.
3. I clearly document de facto suspension of the right to petition for writ of habeas corpus in Cook County – a violation of the Suspension Clause and Illinois Statute, 735 ILCS Article X (see 9 habeas petitions that have never been heard, – even Chief Judge Evans is refusing to remedy this issue);
4. I clearly document bribery of Judge Riley by attorneys, so as the control of a $2 million Illinois estate was stolen by a mentally ill person living in New Jersey and converted to attorney fees under the influence of a corrupt law firm in Illinois, Peck Bloom, LLC and their accomplices including attorney Aaron Gole (this appears to be a systemic problem as due process is denied in many cases I have heard about so that estates can be stolen by conversion to widely excessive and unnecessary attorney fees) see case 10 P 6117 and the evidence of huge payment to judicial campaign committees (10% of the total campaign contributions other than from the candidate loaning his campaign money) that appear to be bribes as the judge at the time he received them ignored testimony and proof of bribery, forgery, and fraud upon the court;
5. I clearly document a policy of denial of the right to a jury in criminal cases involving fitness, thus loss of liberty without due process, as well as denial of the right to compulsory process, the right to an attorney, as well as the right for the litigant to testify (THIS IS SYSTEMIC AND INVOLVES MOST OF THOSE COMMITTED TO ILLINOIS STATE SECURE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES FOR A “FINDING” OF UNFITNESS FOR TRIAL – Illinois Statute and case law require that defendants, who ask for a jury, receive a jury trial that can only be waived by the defendant and not the defendant’s attorney – See on CD Memorandum of Law – Fitness for case law and statutes);
6. I clearly document that the courts are denying discovery of critical evidence with statements by fiat that the evidence is not relevant to the case, essentially barring legitimate defenses at trial (see case 12 CR 22504 documentation, including federal habeas petition and exhibits on CD – NOTE: this federal judge denied a federal habeas petition stating the litigant did not exhaust state remedies, DESPITE THE FACT that the IL Supreme Court denied a habeas petition in the case);
7. I clearly document the oppressive fees charged to pay court appointed attorneys, child representatives, and psychologic evaluations, in divorce cases, as well as the federal felony funding fraud by the Illinois Department of Family and Human Services, Child Support Division, who receive money to help receive evidence to calculate child support obligations, but refuse to do this important service.
8. I clearly document that the corruption is so extreme that it can be said that probate cases, divorce cases, and some criminal cases are being heard without a due process trial – even though this is hard to believe (witnesses stricken, important pretrial motions such as to obtain a HIPAA protective order stricken, and thus evidence barred, litigants illegally sanctioned and not allowed to file motions and memoranda of law or offers of proof – so as to prevent them preserving the record, indigent persons denied preservation of the record for appeal as there are no court reporters provided in Cook County in civil cases – thus denial of access to appeals, as w ell as the Court Clerk losing parts of court files).

Unbelievable as it may seem:

1. I have even been forced to have the sentencing phase of a wrongful contempt charge held in the lock-up visiting room in a courthouse, thus denying viewing by the public or even friends in violation of the Sixth Amendment right to a public trial– the judge eventually came to his senses and had the conviction and allegation “purged”, but ignored motion that purge was not appropriate term and it should be corrected to say stricken (Cook County Circuit Court case no. 11 MC1 6000086-01),
2. I have been unconstitutionally, in violation of the Suspension Clause and U.S. Supreme Court holdings[1], in violation of many Illinois statutes, sentenced to 16 months for contempt without a trial, been denied statutory good time jail sentence credits, by a judge, without legal authority to do so, who should have recused himself for the contempt trial (on 3 cases, which legally were three charges in one case per 720 ILCS 5/3-3, with the fraudulent allegation by Judge McHale that I violated law [legal act] by filing next-friend habeas petitions[2], Cook County cases nos. 10 HC 00006 & 10 HC 00007, as a NON-attorney and verbally defended my right to do so by telling the judge he was committing a criminal act (See FN 1 and transcripts on CD from 2010) – Cook County Case nos. ACC100083-01, ACC 100093-01, and ACC 100094-01);
3. I have been fraudulently declared unfit with the state psychiatrist testifying later I was never unfit (although this was later changed to fit) in sham “trials” without any due process of law and sent to a secure mental health facility, which was not the least restrictive situation as required by law, denying me bail for the purpose of the fitness hearing IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW, WITHOUT ANY testimony that I was unfit by any professional or person except the judge, denying my statutory right to be present for the fitness trial and to testify, and denied notice of the fitness trial. This was a PERVASIVE, GROSS VIOLATION OF STATUTE BY THE JUDGE, not even objected to by the State’s Attorney and Public Defender (thus they were both either so ignorant of law or so criminally malicious as to ignore their oath of office to uphold the law and report violations of it to the Judicial Inquiry Board and prosecuting federal authorities) – appointed over my objection again in violation of statute (See “Memorandum of Law – Fitness”, on CD, for case law and statutory authority supporting my statement & transcripts on CD),
4. I have been denied accommodations for my disabilities including several judges refusing to hear motions for accommodations, refusing to read any medical documents I produce or discuss in detail my need for accommodations, and refusing to sign orders for accommodations in violation of the ADA, as well as refusing to sign orders for a HIPAA protective order, quashing my subpoenas involving the court disability coordinator, so as to prevent me from finding out the names of witness Sheriff Staff she informed about disability accommodations, also as required by federal HIPAA law, thus impeding my defense and in fact prohibiting my defense in violation of law. Read transcripts in 12 CR 22504 on CD – contact me and I will point out the sentences. (See Memoranda of Law – Right to Present a Defense, as well as the motion for HIPAA Protective Order and for Accommodations for Disabilities on CD, as well as court transcripts documenting court orders refusing to hear these motions or refusing to grant HIPAA protective order), and
5. I have been repeatedly beaten , medically neglected by the guards, medical staff, and nutritional staff at the jail – DESPITE US Attorney’s 2007-8 investigations, findings, and agreements – including my pony tail grabbed and used to bang my head against a wall, my hands handcuffed to a bench and not allowed to use the bathroom so that I would have to pee on the floor, my chin forcibly pushed to my chest despite extensive cervical spine surgery that reconstructed my spine, a knee placed on my chest during an asthma attack, duct tape put on my mouth during an asthma attack, guards falsely told I have HIV and was a “spitter” so that a hood was put on me-despite difficulty breathing and claustrophobia, my asthma medication withheld, held down and kicked by guards with their boots leaving 4 X 6 “ bruising witnessed by my attorney – J. Nicolas Albukerk, and even transferred to an unlawful imprisonment without my medical records and the guards told to tell the prison that I was faking my medical problems so that when I had trouble breathing they put me on the psych unit and withheld very needed medication for cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and PTSD disease, nearly 8 hours until the jail doctor contacted the prison and asked why they had not called him about severe unusual medical problems. I have notes about all of this so you can find the names of the guards – the worst were Charles Johnson, Ruby Jackson, and a small black female named Levi, and several un-named supervisors – Sgt. Hernandez told me in confidence that Sgt. Salemi (who committed perjury so I would be wrongfully convicted of felony battery for bumping an officer with my broken wheelchair), only attacks women, but he would not testify for me. Most of this was videotaped since 2008, as the senior supervisors at the Cook Co. Jail ordered that whenever I was moved I would be videotaped to protect them against frivolous suits – note that none of my suits were frivolous, despite District Court judge’s rulings that the cases were dismissed – most on technical details.

Due process is denied as a matter of policy and procedure in Cook County Courts and retaliation against complaints is the norm (no trial or sham trials with one party missing in divorce and probate cases, no hearing of habeas petitions in misdemeanor cases and some felony cases, no witnesses, no notice, evidence suppressed, no HIPAA protective orders, no written accommodations of disabilities by order, etc. – REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS WRITTEN ON PAPER, IN COURT WEB SITES, STATED IN NEWS SOURCES, OR STATED BY COURT REPRESENTATIVES OR JUDGES – LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO NOT WHAT THEY SAY!!)

I strongly encourage you to put together a task force who interviews other similarly situated persons and persons I have assisted as a pro bono paralegal named in this document– (follow the trail of money paid court appointees) including:

(1)DB (declared dangerous to his kids and denied unsupervised visitation based on the fact he was an ex-Marine and was therefore “dangerous” and on hearsay – denied a trial; wife CB is a drug addict and addiction counselor who steals drugs from her patients and from a disabled neighbor whose house she had a key for in case of emergency – he has an affidavit from the neighbor, which was included in his court pleadings – the judge refuses to address the addiction issue on the record), as well as ORDERED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT DESPITE SERIOUS INJURY AT WORK, causing him to have $0 INCOME FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD AND NO SAVINGS OR ASSETS,

(2) SM who unlawfully lost custody of her boys (her son finally took pictures of his father’s drug stash to blackmail him into letting him live with his mother, without informing the court – the court had illegally without good cause taken away her custody of her children in retaliation for her whistle blowing and advocacy activities against family court corruption),

(3) JG (the court took away his custody without good cause simply because he is ill with a repaired aortic dissection in violation of his ADA rights, denied a continuance when he became ill resulting in a stroke),

(4)KM (the court extorted huge sums of money from her to pay unnecessary fees from court appointed persons – see slide show presented to IL legislative committee on CD),

(5) SP (court illegally ordered large child support amount from Sandra “because she is a doctor” – despite the fact that she took a leave from her residency to raise the kids while her husband finished an anesthesiology residency – so she is not licensed and he is not just licensed as a physician, but is making a huge income – she is now homeless; Sandra has evidence of mortgage fraud by her ex-husband and the court is refusing to consider it and no one is investigating it – court is actually covering it up; she lost custody of kids illegally because now rich ex-husband was able to hire an attorney who snowed and manipulated the court) ,

(6) GB who lost custody of her kids to the really bad father (who helps runs Sexpo Conventions and encourages his daughters to prostitute – per rumor, he has lots of money that he used to obtain a lawyer to fix the case – her kids are seeing her on the sly because the courts won’t let her see them),

(7) CS, and so many others whose names and contact information these persons can give to you to pay outrageous court fees to court appointed unneeded counselors and child representatives ($400-$500 per hr. and sometimes for multiple attorneys at the same time – IL Rep. Lou Lang told me to my face that he will never allow the state to pass a law limiting attorney fees although the state had limited death penalty defense fees to $150 per hr.) who totally disregard the best interest of the children, but do regard the best interest of their wallets in excessive fees and unnecessary prolonging of their services – assisted by donations to judges campaign funds so that their every wish is granted without regard to law. (See slide show on CD “M******* Presentation” – about Cottage Industry corrupting family court and extorting money from families) [NOTE: that the IL House of Representatives is run dictatorially by the Speaker Madigan and a handful of his powerful lieutenants that prevent any bill from reaching the floor without his permission – subverting democracy.]

(8) Non-custodial parents are consistently ordered to pay more child support than allowed by federal law, especially if disabled and receiving social security disability (child support is illegally taken from their social security income or from the children’s college funds)(talk with JG and DB).

(9) With the prosecutor failing to explain why a significant portion of the video tapes were missing, Tiny (5 ft. tall with very tiny hands) grandmother Robin Johnson (who is now very fat in prison due to depression and poor diet, consuming huge quantities of bread and cookies) was wrongfully convicted of wrestling a large gun from an officer (> 6 ft. tall and large), killing him and sentenced to life in prison (during a fugue-like epileptic seizure where the officer grabbed her neck and banged her head against a bus that the court refused to allow her to talk about or present her long-term treating physicians or medical evidence) who was very large and experienced, but HER HAND IS TOO SMALL TO HAVE HANDLED THE GUN, she has no understanding of the working of gun safety switches, and she has no experience or training in self-defense or aggressive physical attack methods that would have allowed her to grab a gun from an officer, remove the safety, and fire it so as to shoot him in the head, while her head was being bashed against a bus by the officer and then she was thrown to the ground by him as testimony verified, in the middle of a fugue like seizure which she had a very long history of suffering from – YOU REALLY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ONE – there is no evidence she held a gun (mysteriously minutes of the videotape are missing) and the gun mysteriously disappeared & reappeared so fingerprints not examined !! –

this was another case of an INNOCENT BLACK PERSON being shot full of holes (Robin was wounded 22 times) by white officers, falsely defamed as an “angry person”, when she’s just an average but very poor nice grandmother – she had 22 bullet wounds (received as she was trying to protect herself by sliding under a car and holding her hands in front of her) and barely survived nearly having an arm amputated – by overzealous officers who likely killed their own officer (I personally examined her hand and asked her non-leading questions about guns – which proved she is extremely naïve and inexperienced and have some experience in forensic pathology about these things as I rotated in forensic pathology as a graduate student for six months and in psychiatry as I was medical director of a psychiatry group practice, in addition to receiving training in psychiatry during my pediatric residency)!

Enclosed is a CD and documents containing a lot of evidence supporting the above statements pertaining to my cases and the case of DB

but this is only the tip of the iceberg.

I have not enclosed evidence concerning most of the other persons mentioned above. Many of them have provided to the Chicago FBI office evidence that appears to be ignored.

Please investigate this information thoroughly.

I am asking under the presentment clause for you

to present as much of this as possible to a grand jury for prosecution.

I believe the information I have sent you and the others I mention have sent you or could provide to you would make this case much bigger than Greylord and if investigated would make a big dent in correcting the corruption in Cook County, by forcing the judges, attorneys, and police to be better educated and supervised, as well as to FOLLOW THE LAW.

you will realize that I have no confidence in the FBI or U.S. Attorney in Chicago, who appears to be knowingly covering up the above. I am just writing this letter and sending you this evidence and these complaints to document that you have been fully informed. Should you surprise me and actually investigate, I thank you for your time. Eric Holder pledged to fight government corruption. He clearly has failed to do so. I, along with a dozen of my acquaintances, have been waiting for over eight years to discuss all this personally with high up officials in your office and we and our complaints have been ignored. THE FBI office in Chicago continually refuses to discuss the above with me in detail and refuses to accept my evidence – now several times when I went personally to their office to complain! I complained to the U.S. Marshal inspector general (or similar unit) and was ignored, never receiving a report despite FOIA requests. Why has the Chicago FBI decided to refuse to accept evidence or complaints of federal crimes and misconduct for federal Marshals?

Sincerely,

Linda Shelton

Motion to Declare IL Battery Statutes Partially Unconstitutional

Proof Felony Federal Funding Fraud by IL State Police condoned by IL AG Lisa Madigan

[1] A person, including a non-attorney, may file an habeas petition on “behalf of another”. 735 ILCS 5/10-103, U.S. ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U.S. 11, 76 S.Ct 1 (1955) and Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723, 128 S.Ct 2229 (2008)

A judge may not order denial of statutory good time jail credits. Jurisdiction for removing Good Time Jail Allowance (credits) lies with the Department of Corrections – or persons appointed by the county sheriff and NOT the court or judge, 730 ILCS 130, People v. Russel, 237 Ill.Epp.3d 310 (1992); People v. Prater, 158 Ill.App.3d 330 (1987); Kaeding v. Collins, 281 Ill.App.3d 919 (1996).

It is forbidden to sentence for more than one count of contempt representing same motive or state of mind during one trial or case. Illinois sentencing statutes require concurrent sentences for the same conduct or acts occurring during the same state of mind in the course of one act or one series of acts – 720 ILCS 5/3-3. You may NOT order separate contempt cases and sentences for each repeated similar act during one trial even on different days or if one hearing is continued over several days. People v Brown, 235 Ill.App.3d 945 (1992)

Sentences exceeding 6 months individually or aggregate for contempt require a jury trial as a constitutional right. You may not sentence a person for contempt several times in one trial and then make the sentences concurrent for more than six months without a trial. A contempt sentence more than six months requires a jury trial. Bloom v. Illinois, 391 U.S. 194 (1968); Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U.S. 145 (1968); The Court held that in a contempt case it required a jury trial when the trial judge awaits the conclusion of the proceeding and then imposes separate sentences in which the total aggregated more than six months. Codispoti v. Pennsylvania, 418 U.S. 506 (1974); It was held that when the punishment in a criminal contempt case in federal court is more than the sentence for a petty offense, the Court drew the traditional line at six months, a defendant is entitled to trial by jury. Cheff v. Schnackenberg, 384 U.S. 373 (1966)

A jury trial is a constitutional right if contempt sentence is summarily imposed on a day other than the day in which the contemptuous act occurred, In re Marriage Betts, 200 Ill.App.3d 26 (1990); Winning Moves,Inc., v. Hi! Baby, Inc. 238 Ill.App.3d 834 (1992); Kaeding v. Collins, 281 Ill.App.3d 919 (1996)

Defending a contempt charge by vigorously quoting law is not contemptuously insulting the court, “[T]his Court, if its aid be needed, will unhesitatingly protect counsel in fearless, vigorous and effective performance of every duty pertaining to the office of the advocate on behalf of any person whatsoever.” Sacher v United States, 343 U.S.1 (1952); People v. Siegel, 68 Ill.Dec.118; People v. Powell, 187 Ill.Dec. 774; United States v. Oberhellmann, 946 F.2d 50,

When a judge is embroiled in controversy with litigant he must recuse himself for a contempt trial and be replaced by another judge. Mayberry v. Pennsylvania, 400 U.S. 455 (1971); Kaeding v. Collins, 281 Ill.App.3d 919 (1996), See also Johnson v. Mississippi, 403 U.S. 212 (1971); Holt v. Virginia, 381 U.S. 131 (1965). [Even in the absence of a personal attack on a judge that would tend to impair his detachment, the judge may still be required to excuse himself and turn a citation for contempt over to another judge if the response to the alleged misconduct in his courtroom partakes of the character of ”marked personal feelings” being abraded on both sides, so that it is likely the judge has felt a ”sting” sufficient to impair his objectivity. Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U.S. 488 (1974).]; Offutt v. United States, 348 U.S. 11 (1954) [In a situation in which the record revealed that the contumacious conduct was the product of both lack of self-restraint on the part of the contemnor and a reaction to the excessive zeal and personal animosity of the trial judge, the majority felt that any contempt trial must be held before another judge.]; A judge called upon to act in a case of contempt by personal attack upon him, may, without flinching from his duty, properly ask that one of his fellow judges take his place.Cornish v. United States, 299 F. 283, 285 and Toledo Newspaper Co. v. United States, 237 F. 986, 988;

[2] The petitions were on behalf of Annabel Melongo who at the time was at the beginning of being jailed for two years on an eavesdropping case, later declared unconstitutional, Cook County Circuit Court no. 10 CR 8092, and remote computer tampering – false allegation by criminal CEO of Save-a-Life Foundation, Carol Spirrizzi, after Melongo was fired from this company, Circuit Court of Cook County case no. 08 CR 10502-01, which Ms. Melongo won, and which had been fraudulently brought against her to cover-up the criminal acts of funding fraud by Save-a-Life Foundation and several politicians who failed to use due diligence in donating public funds to this phony foundation, suggesting money laundering, including Lisa Madigan, Arne Duncan, Jan Shankowski (sp?) and many others, which has been exposed extensively in the news by Emmy award winning reporter, Chuck Goudie, and on the Internet. It is shocking that the U.S. Attorney has not yet indicted Ms. Spirrizzi. FBI Special Agent Depooter testified at Melongo’s eavesdropping trial, which ended in a hung jury, prior to the case being called unconstitutional and dismissed, that Melongo did present some evidence about SALF to the FBI.

Free innocent ROBIN JOHNSON wrongfully convicted of murder in IL, during a seizure when she was confused, but evidence withheld from jury

FREE ROBIN JOHNSON WRONGFULLY CONVICTED OF MURDER IN ILLINOIS

With the prosecutor failing to explain why a significant portion of the video tapes were missing,

Tiny (5 ft. tall with very tiny hands) grandmother Robin Johnson was wrongfully convicted of wrestling a large gun from an officer (> 6 ft tall and experienced), killing him and sentenced to life in prison (during an epileptic seizure where she was in a fugue state, confused and acting like an automaton, at a bus stop at 2 am (which she had done before) where the officer grabbed her neck and banged her head against a bus. The court refused to allow her to talk about or present her long-term treating physicians or medical evidence of long-standing seizures causing her to wonder at odd times, or the fact her family had found her on the floor from a seizure hours before).

• but HER HAND IS TOO SMALL TO HAVE HANDLED THE GUN,
• she has no understanding of the working of gun safety switches, and
• she has no experience or training in self-defense or aggressive physical attack methods that would have allowed her to grab a gun from an officer, remove the safety, and fire it so as to shoot him in the head,

while her head was being bashed against a bus by the officer and then she was thrown to the ground by him as testimony verified, in the middle of a fugue like seizure which she had a very long history of suffering from – the FBI and U.S. ATTORNEY REALLY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ONE – there is no evidence she held a gun (mysteriously minutes of the videotape are missing) and the gun mysteriously disappeared & reappeared so fingerprints not examined !! –

this was another case of an INNOCENT BLACK PERSON being shot full of holes (Robin was wounded 22 times and barely survived) by white officers, falsely defamed as an “angry person”, when she’s just a average but very poor nice grandmother – she had 22 bullet wounds (received as she was trying to protect herself by sliding under a car and holding her hands in front of her) and barely survived nearly having an arm amputated – by overzealous officers who likely killed their own officer (I personally examined her hand and asked her non-leading questions about guns – which proved she is extremely naive and inexperienced and have some experience in forensic pathology about these things as I rotated in forensic pathology as a graduate student for six months and in psychiatry as I was medical director of a psychiatry group practice, in addition to receiving training in psychiatry during my pediatric residency)!

Cook County Judge convicted of federal loan fraud

Judge Jessica Arong O’Brien was convicted of “fraudulently obtaining loans related to the purchase, maintenance and sale of properties on Chicago’s South Side,” per the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, on February 15.

O’Brien, of Chicago, was elected to the Cook County Circuit Court in 2012, but was removed form duties as a judge when she was indicted.

O’Brien, 50, was convicted of a count of mail fraud affecting a financial institution and another count of bank fraud. She faces up to 30 years in prison.

Between 2004 and 2007, O’Brien teamed with mortgage loan officer Maria Bartko and “a straw buyer whom O’Brien knew,” to allegedly defraud lenders into issuing and refinancing $1.4 million in mortgage and commercial loans “by making false representations and concealing material facts in documents submitted to the lenders.”

O’Brien used mortgage loans to purchase investment properties in Chicago, fraudulently obtained a commercial line of credit to maintain the properties, before selling them to Bartko, who would work with the straw buyer to obtain fraudulent mortgage loans.

Bartko pleaded guilty to a count of mail fraud and is awaiting sentencing.

O’Brien had work experience in financial institutions as a bank loan officer.

 

Family courts practicing medicine without license results in destroying kids & family finances for profit

by M Gerhardt

One of the biggest injustices in the courtroom is the unauthorized practice of medicine.  What I mean by that is that everyone thinks they are mental health experts, although none went to medical school.  Guardian Ad Litems (who are lawyers by statutes – we’ll get to that in future legislation.) have no problem with diagnosing parents and children, even though the GAL/Lawyer has absolutely no training in mental health, nor are licensed to practice medicine.  Hell, every lawyer in the courtroom has no problem with diagnosing the opposing Party’s clients and the children.  Now I know that many of you think that the judges do the same.  No they don’t.  They weigh the evidence (I know, that is arguable), listen to the experts (okay, maybe not) then makes a legal Finding.  I really wish I could bad-mouth judges here, but I can’t.  Well, maybe I can because for them to get to this point they should follow certain rules and procedures regarding evidence and testimony before making a Finding. Being Family Court, they do not.

 

Ignoring most of the above, what does this have to do with HB4113?  It’s that the lawyers of the ISBA and the Family Court judges are calling legislators and telling the legislators that Illinois HB4113 is not in the “best interest” of children.  Hmm, we see boatloads of (real) experts (mental health professionals) saying that shared-parenting is in the “best interest” of children, then we have the legal folks who make tons of money creating fights between parents over children by weighing-in on something they have no knowledge of.

 

Judges and lawyers (ISBA) are not mental health professionals.  Not even close.  “Best interest” is a mental health issue.  So when a judge/ISBA is stating that a certain Bill (HB4113) is not in a child’s best interest, but the parents’ best interest, we should point out that “best interest” is mental health determination, and that neither the judge, lawyers, or ourselves are mental health professionals (unless we are).  And if you are a mental health professional, or have some training (educators?), then say that you have knowledge of the field.

 

As a side note:  My belief is that judges who advocate in support/oppose legislation are in violation of Separations of Powers under the Constitution.  But we already know that Constitutional Issues are ignored in the Family Courts.  So why would we be surprised that judges would ignore the Constitution outside the Courtroom?  Strangely, I rarely hear of non-Family Law judges weighing-in on legislative matters, much less weighing-in as aggressively as Family Law judges do.

 

Complaint for mandamus and/or federal civil rights injunction regarding pervasive, extensive violations of civil rights in Cook County courts – Judge Cannon and others

Help me ➡Sit in gallery next court date Oct 29 2018,  2600 S California Chicago Room 506 10 am

This complaint was filed in August 2017.

It regards an unconstitutional felony charge of aggravated battery of an officer against a disabled activist who was in a PTSD flashback induced by courtroom deputies because she allegedly “touched an officer’s ear.” Altho indigent bail was set at unconstitutional $300,000.

Come to next court date 04/18/ 2018 room 502 2600 S California, Chicago IL at 10 am 4 pre-trial hearing battery case on Motion to substitute Judge Cannon.

The fact that Judge Cannon has been assigned on the Laquan McDonald murder case against police officers in Chicago has been the impetence for me to post this early before it is actually filed. The public MUST BE INFORMED!

Full nearly 100 page 30 count complaint can be found here.

This complaint documents why Judge Dianne Gordon Cannon should be removed as a judge due to mental incapacity and incompetence. This is why she should NOT be the judge for the officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of Laquan McDonald! Read the full complaint for all the details. I will be happy to forward to anyone interested in the details all of the exhibits and transcripts.

Cook County, IL courts destroy whistle blower with false felony conviction for bumping officer with wheelchair violating ADA

LINDA SHELTON alleges her conviction for felony battery of an officer in 2007 (“bumping and officer with her wheelchair”), Cook County Court case 05 CR 12718, was wrongful, violating precedent and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), and that the incident causing the conviction occurred while she was wrongfully jailed on a conviction for contempt which LINDA alleges occurred as follows:  Judge Pantle claimed illegally that stating the Court was illegally holding her for trial and arguing such was contempt, in a Medicaid Fraud case against LINDA, case number 04 CR 17571, where LINDA was eventually found NOT GUILTY by a jury. See proof of lack of jurisdiction and lack of contempt – endnote [1]. NOTE: this case law makes the contempt conviction wrongful: The U.S. Supreme Court has previously ruled that a vigorous defense is not a reason to hold a person in contempt: Sacher v United States, 343 U.S.1 (1952)

 

While illegal jailed for contempt, LINDA testified that she was attacked by Sgt. Salemi in retaliation for prevailing in a suit for injunction against the Sheriff, case number 04 CH 15787, four weeks prior to incident of alleged battery date of 5/16/05, that Salemi falsified his records and said she attacked him, and then Salemi committed perjury at trial in 05 CR 12718. LINDA sued Cook County Sheriff Sheehan in 04 CH 15787 because he under a Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request failed to give her the ADA compliance plan for courthouses that the Sheriff was required to maintain. On winning this complaint for injunction, Cook County State’s Attorney Richard Devine, representing Sheriff Sheahan, was forced to admit that he did not have a compliance plan and had been in violation of federal law for more than a decade.

 

Sgt. Anthony Salemi, on May 16, 2005,while LINDA was severely dehydrated and weak, due to a dry hunger strike protest – for not allowing her to phone her father, DR. LORINCZ, and arrange for his care,  in a broken and hard to push wheelchair, sent away a female unit guard and entered LINDA’s cell alone (against CCDOC policy), [and in an act suggesting retaliation for the court case where four (4) weeks before this incident LINDA prevailed in a suit for injunction against Cook County Sheriff Sheahan for violation of the FOIA in regards to releasing information about the court’s ADA compliance plan –they didn’t want to release it because they were in violation of federal ADA law in not having a plan for courthouses- CCCC case # 04 CH 15787], stating “I’m going to make a case so you don’t get out.” Salemi then grabbed LINDA by the neck and attacked her, stumbling and skinning his mid-shin (a vertical superficial abrasion on both shins) because the wheelchair lurched backwards with the force of him lunging at her and grabbing her neck, causing him to slide downward against the wheelchair footrests.

 

Salemi then ripped the wheelchair out from under LINDA while he flipped her onto the floor and attacked her, injuring her as documented in trial transcript of stipulated testimony of a nurse causing huge contusions between and on the back of her thighs and contusions, due to posts for armrests which were missing and on her knee and toes which were caught in the wheelchair footrests.

 

This traumatized LINDA so much, thinking he would kill or rape her, that she developed post-traumatic-stress disorder (“PTSD”), which plagues her to this day, particularly because it rekindled flashbacks (severe frequent nightmares and daytime dreamlike states where she is briefly out of touch with reality) of LINDA’s brother assaulting and terrorizing her repeatedly, when she was 12 yrs. old.

 

Salemi then falsified his records and said while he was staring at LINDA, from a dead stop in the middle of the cell a few feet away from him, LINDA accelerated the wheelchair using her congenitally weak arms and the broken wheelchair, caught him “off guard”[really!!] and “bounced the wheelchair against him” – (inconsistent with his injury of a vertical superficial abrasion at middle of his shins – such an act would have caused a horizontal bruise from the wheelchair footrests)  despite the fact LINDA’s physicians (a cardiologist and neurologist), the only physician witnesses said this was impossible due to LINDA’s weakness and neurological disorder – partially paralyzed right side.

 

A Brady violation occurred as since the secure jail and its staff had possession of the broken wheelchair which they called a weapon and did not preserve it upon a timely request from LINDA, it was not available for trial to prove it was broken and could not be accelerated fast enough to injure Salemi. As it was in the jail, it was insincere for the State to claim they did not control it.

 

In incident report Salemi said LINDA was at the door and pushed her way out and then kicked him with her Right leg in the chest (despite the fact her right leg is impaired and partially paralyzed), but he testified that LINDA, after he entered her cell, raised both legs up and kicked him in the chest (again the neurologist testified this was physically impossible for LINDA to do from a wheelchair due to a long standing spinal cord injury (congenital and acquired).

 

Also, how could she bump him starting from a dead stop a few feet away with weak arms? He claimed no injury from this “kick”, but said he was thrown against the cell door, which her had testified three times was open, thus derailing his testimony and making it unbelievable.

 

SHELTON’S PHYSICIANS, DRS. BRILLER AND VERN, TESTIFIED THAT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO HER WEAKNESS AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER, even without the wheelchair being broken (tread missing from right wheel so metal hitting floor tending to just make wheelchair wheel spin with no traction). THIS TESTIMONY WAS UNREBUTTED BY A PHYSICIAN – SO ACCORDING TO CASE LAW THE COURT WAS REQUIRED TO FIND SHELTON NOT-GUILTY AS COMPETENT MEDICAL EVIDENCE CANNOT BE IGNORED BY THE COURT OR REFUTED BY NONMEDICAL TESTIMONY. In Interest of Ashley K., 212 Ill.App.3d 849, 156 Ill.Dec.925, 571 N.E.2d 905, 930 (Ill. App. 1^st Dist.. 1991) Obviously, the Illinois Appellate Court, therefore ignored the law in upholding the conviction, as the State provided no medical expert testimony refuting LINDA’s doctor’s testimony.

 

The Trial Court erroneously refused to allow defense counsel to ask questions about the incident report or present the incident report to the jury to impeach Salemi. Ineffective defense counsel failed to enter incident report as an offer of proof. Defense counsel failed to call to the witness stand key witnesses that could testify that the wheelchair was broken and LINDA was unable to move it with force, or that LINDA had several severe asthma attacks just prior to the incident or that the medical staff had illegally drugged LINDA against her will hours before the alleged incident rendering LINDA even weaker, more uncoordinated and somewhat confused and disinhibited, as well as failed to enter this information as an offer of proof. This was ineffective assistance of counsel and not mere trial strategy.

 

LINDA was illegally convicted of felony battery to an officer due to this perjury, insufficient assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, and judicial errors that did not allow LINDA to present all evidence and witnesses.

[1] LINDA can now prove that Judge Pantle had no jurisdiction in the Medicaid Fraud case, for which she was found NOT GUILTY. After a FOIA request by LINDA in 2006 that was never answered by the State in violation of the FOIA and felony discovery rules, but was answered by the US-DHHS in May 2010, LINDA received proof from US-DHHS that the prosecutor, AG Madigan, did not have jurisdiction and therefore the court did not have jurisdiction.

 

These documents were received May 2010 regarding 2006 FOIA request for re-certification and funding application to US-DHHS from IL Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (“MFCU”). They were finally received due to executive order from President Obama that agencies must answer FOIA requests, which overturned President Bush’s previous order.

 

The proof is the MFCU application where the State in a sworn statement Illinois State Police Director on behalf of the State Police and IL Attorney General Staff assigned to the State Police in the MFCU, says that IL is one of six states where the State Attorney General has no authority or jurisdiction to prosecute Medicaid fraud and they claim they turn all such prosecution over to the US Attorney.

Yet the IL AG illegally violated what they swore to, thus fraudulently obtaining millions from US-DHHS for such prosecutions, and indicted LINDA in State court for Medicaid fraud and two other legitimate mental health providers in other medical/psychiatric group practices who also were whistle blowers with evidence against corrupt friends of Lisa Madigan. The documents proving all this are available for anyone to see – please contact LINDA. The convictions of the two other persons should therefore be overturned.

 

LINDA was a federal witness against Orlando Jones, Godson of Cook County Board Chairman, John Stroger Sr., who had appointed him to be CEO of the new Provident Hospital when it opened and LINDA was the senior pediatrician in a contract group hired by the County to open the pediatric department at Provident Hospital. Jones was indicted by the U.S. Attorney due to fraud and bribery, but committed suicide before trial. LINDA had witnessed these crimes. LINDA had presented this evidence to the FBI in Chicago and Special Agent Matt Kern had interviewed her at FBI headquarters in Chicago prior to indicting Orlando Jones. LINDA did  not have to testify against Jones, as he committed suicide, on the beach near Mayor Daley’s summer home.
