In late February, the Maryland Court of Appeals (which is the highest court in Maryland) disbarred a long-time Maryland attorney, James Albert Frost, for alleging in emails that several Maryland judges had engaged in misconduct. The decision, Attorney Grievance Commission v. Frost, outlines the pertinent facts:
Respondent was admitted to the Maryland Bar on June 29, 1972. He does not maintain an office for the practice of law. On April 23, 2012, Respondent wrote an email to his ex-wife, stating, inter alia:
With regard to Case #110082-C, you know or should know that: (1) Ann S. Harrington, a
James Albert Frost lawless judge, arranged for deputy sheriffs of the Montgomery County, MD, Sheriff’s Office to illegally arrest me on May 13, 2008, with no probable cause to do so and there by committed the crime under State of Maryland law of making a false report to an agency of the state with police powers; . . . (3) There was no basis in law or in fact for Judge Stephen P. Johnson, a weak man and corrupt judge acting under improper and political influence, to have me locked up in the county jail on a “no bond” order for 87 days and 87 nights but that’s what was done; and (4) The crooked State’s Attorney for Montgomery County, MD, John J. McCarthy, Esq., a protégé of Douglas F. Gansler, Esq., the corrupt Attorney General of Maryland, and a political ally of Maryland Governor O’Malley, a pretty-boy hack politician, didn’t let his assistant prosecutors drop the phon[y] charge against me until August 8, 2008.
With regard to Case #11041-C . . . you know or should know that the Maryland State Police deceived District Court of Maryland Commissioner Kaitlyn Boyle into signing a warrant to arrest me and then deceived Circuit Court Judge Joseph A. Dugan, Jr., into signing a search and seizure warrant by and through perjury on the warrant applications signed on August 13, 2008, by Maryland State Trooper Michael Brennan, who was ordered to do that by Maryland State Police Captain Clifford T. Hughes, his supervisor, and Maryland State Police Superintendent Terence B. Sheridan, who were acting under improper and political influence exerted (through an intermediary) by Governor O’Malley and his wife, Judge of the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore City Catherine Curran O’Malley.
Respondent made the April 23, 2012 statements regarding the Honorable Ann S. Harrington, specifically calling her a “lawless judge” and accusing her of “arrang[ing] for deputy sheriffs of the Montgomery County, MD Sheriff’s Office to illegally arrest [him]” knowing the statements to be false and with reckless disregard as to their truth or falsity. Respondent has no facts to support the statements made regarding Judge Harrington.
Respondent made the April 23, 2012 statements regarding the Honorable Stephen P. Johnson, Retired Judge for the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County, specifically calling him “a weak man and corrupt judge acting under improper and political influence . . .” knowing the statements to be false and with reckless disregard as to their truth or falsity. Respondent has no facts to support the statement regarding Judge Johnson.
Respondent made the April 23, 2012 statement regarding John J. McCarthy, State’s Attorney for Montgomery County, specifically calling Mr. McCarthy a “crooked” State’s Attorney, knowing the statement to be false and with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity. Respondent has no facts to support the statement regarding Mr. McCarthy.
Respondent made the April 23, 2012 statement regarding Douglas F. Gansler, Attorney General of Maryland, specifically calling Mr. Gansler “corrupt,” knowing the statement to be false and with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity. Respondent has no facts to support the statement regarding Mr. Gansler.
Respondent made the April 23, 2012 statement regarding Governor O’Malley, specifically that he exerted “improper” influence over members of the Montgomery County Police Department, knowing the statement to be false and with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity. Respondent has no facts to support the statement regarding Governor O’Malley.
Respondent made the April 23, 2012 statement regarding the Honorable Catherine Curran O’Malley, Judge [for the] District Court of Baltimore City, specifically that she exerted “improper” influence over members of the Montgomery County Police Department, knowing the statement to be false and with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity. Respondent has no facts to support the statement regarding Judge Curran O’Malley.
On or about May 2, 2012, Respondent mailed a copy of the April 23, 2012 email to George Meng, Esquire. Prior to May 2, 2012, Respondent had no relationship or communication with Mr. Meng. On or about May 2, 2012, Respondent forwarded a copy of the April 23, 2012 email to Paul Carlin, Esquire. On or about May 2, 2012, Respondent forwarded a copy of the April 23, 2012 email to Katherine Kelly Howard, Esquire.
On May 4, 2012, Mr. Meng emailed Respondent asking why the April 23, 2012 email was sent to him, directing him to Rule 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 of the Maryland Lawyers’ Rules of Professional Conduct and requesting a response as how the April 23, 2012 email did not violate Rules 8.2 and 8.4 and did not require reporting to Petitioner pursuant to Rule 8.3. On May 10, 2012, no response having been received to his May 4 email, Mr. Meng again emailed Respondent requesting a response to the questions posed on May 4, 2012. On May 18, 2012, Respondent emailed Mr. Meng stating, “You should have something from me in your mail Monday.” On May 18, 2012, Respondent mailed Mr. Meng a letter directed to Chief of Police J. Thomas Manger, Montgomery County, Maryland. The May 18, 2012 letter did not, in any way, respond to the questions posed by Mr. Meng in his emails of May 4 and May 10. Mr. Meng received the May 18, 2012 letter on May 21, 2012. On May 21, 2012, Mr. Meng emailed Respondent again requesting a response to his May 4 and May 10 emails.
On May 23, 2012, no further communication having been received from Respondent, Mr. Meng filed a complaint with the Petitioner and enclosed: (1) Respondent’s April 23, 2012 email, (2) Mr. Meng’s May 4, 2012 email to Respondent, (3) Mr. Meng’s May 10, 2012 email to Respondent, (4) Mr. Meng’s May 18, 2012 email to Respondent, (5) Respondent’s letter of May 1, 2012 to Chief of Police J. Thomas Manger, and (6) Mr. Meng’s May 21, 2012 email to Respondent.
Attorney George Meng was no ordinary member of the Maryland Bar. He was a long-time member of the Attorney Grievance Commission. Meng’s complaint was forwarded to Frost by Bar Counsel. Frost responded:
“The statements of mine concerning which objections have been presented to your office are protected from state action by the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.”
The most interesting aspect of the article is it notes, as Ken Ditkowsky and I have noted, that attorneys in the Kids for Cash program, apparently kept silent about the Program because they didn’t want to prosecuted under Rule 8.3 which prohibits lawyers from criticizing judges. This is despite the fact, that has not been the law since the 1951 In Re Sawyer SCOTUS decision which allowed a Hawaii law professor to criticize a judge, a lawyer, a decision and a statute and said it was all protected by the First Amendment. Recent cases have made it clear attorney occupational speech is protected by the First Amendment also (Virginia Bar v. Hunter Hogan, In re Weddigen (4th Dist, Illinois 2015). IRS v. Loving (IRS has no jurisdiction over requiring tax preparers to be tested and licensed), Alvarez SCOTUS–man can lie about the fact he claims falsely to have a Medal of Honor from Congress, Citizens United — PACs can put out sleezy fake movies about the Clintons right before elections.
But the Kids for Cash in Penn. and the Seniors for Cash in Probate across the nation is one of the biggest reasons to let attorneys speak out and, as granted them in the Sawyer case, criticize a judge, a law or a court decision.
We have to end the code of silence for attorneys. It does no good, it engenders public mistrust of the law and legal system and judiciary, and with the prevalence of blogs and social media, it is near impossible to control when people can tweet and create blog posts right from a cell phone.
Worse, when a lawyer remains silent while the public records and videos lawless court proceedings that are little more than cash grabs for clouted attorneys and judges, it creates a situation where if an attorney does not speak out and reveal the wrongdoing, the attorney, as in Kids for Cash faces severe liability later when the authorities ask why scores of lawyers did not speak out to the FBI and states attorneys and to the public, warning everyone that the courtroom is corrupt and to expect that.
In fact, every courtroom should, like the internet, have a “take a survey” email sent out after every court appearance and that information should be made public where every professional present can rate the other party.
Our courtrooms are stuck in ye old England where silence and secrecy reigned and star chambers (ones where you were hauled in without notice, had no hearing, no discovery and were put in prison or stripped of your assets). That system never worked and in 1776 the Colonies of America said enough was enough and created a new nation with a new constitution where the First Amendment in rights granted to the people was Free Speech and a free press.
Our ancestors had it right in 1779 when the US constitution was provided with a First Amendment for free speech and a free press which was passed unanimously and without comment. Prior to that, the 13 colonies had various forms of free speech and free press written into their own constitutions.
I guess it’s simply time to go back to the 1780’s when lawyers understood what a free and open democracy meant.

Scary info:
Nursing homes have complete control over some of the most vulnerable and fragile people in the entire country: people who are gravely ill, who are often cognitively impaired in ways that make it hard for them to protect themselves, are completely at the mercy of these institutions. Unfortunately, nursing homes are increasingly being taken over by huge corporate entities that are often driven more by profit than a sincere commitment to taking care of residents. Thousands of nursing homes across the country have been snapped up by large Wall Street companies. Sixty percent of the market is now occupied by for-profit entities, increasingly private equity groups. One report discovered that in 60 percent of the homes purchased, managers cut the nursing staff to the point where they were providing only one clinical registered nurse for every 20 residents.
John Mitchell, only 69 years old, was recovering from a stroke at a nursing home in Dennis, Massachusetts when — one week after he was admitted — staff dropped him while moving him from his bed to a chair. A call to an ambulance was made, but then cancelled when his vital signs seemed to stabilize. Later that night, John became unresponsive. After he was rushed to the hospital, doctors discovered that the fall had caused extensive bleeding in his brain; he died a few days later. It was only after his sons hired an attorney to investigate the circumstances surrounding their father’s death that they found — among dozens of pages in the admission contract signed by John’s guardian — a pre-dispute arbitration agreement.
Fortunately for John’s family, a court ruled the clause in their contract unenforceable. But that isn’t always the case.
The Obama Administration is seriously considering doing something about this. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has an opportunity to say that nursing homes can no longer receive federal funding if they use arbitration clauses in their contracts. If CMS will take this step, it will return to the nation’s most vulnerable population their basic constitutional rights, and let people hold nursing homes accountable in case of abuse and neglect. My organization, Public Justice, just filed extensive comments with CMS urging it to take this opportunity to protect these vulnerable residents.
The US Supreme court has already ruled that arbitration clauses must be enforced under the US Constitution (where the word “arbitration” is found in the Constitution is unknown at this time).
Nonetheless, businesses (generally the most dangerous ones with the highest profits) routinely use tons of contract filler, and fine print about how all litigation must go to arbitration, and most often, they rig it to an arbitrator corporation that is favorable to their position of no liability, ever.
Of course, the US constitution does not say that if someone breaches a contract they must submit to a tied in provider, but that is often the effect.
Let’s hope the consumers can get some relief from the Concepcion case which dictates that consumers must arbitrate, and often with anti-consumer arbitrators that throw consumer fraud cases right into the circular file.

This is regarding financial planners that scam the elderly and churn accounts or recommend poor investments.
But we all know the real people that need to report are:
The Wall Street Journal is on the right track holding financial assistants and planners accountable for what they do, but they can add in the vendors (leeches) of both custody court and probate court.
A circuit court judge has ruled that a Hendersonville woman placed in a conservatorship without her knowledge can sue Davidson’s former public guardian for not acting in her best interests.
In an 8-page ruling, Judge Hamilton Gayden ruled that former Public Guardian Jeanan Stuart is not immune to a suit charging that she failed to fulfill her duties.
Gayden had previously ruled that Ginger Franklin, the Hendersonville woman, could not sue based on allegations that Stuart mishandled her financial affairs. But late last week, he found that Franklin could sue for the personal toll Stuart’s handling of her affairs had taken.
That includes “mental anguish” and other damages.
This means that if this case is adopted in Illinois the OPG will undoubtedly be the subject of numerous lawsuits for cases they have been involved in.
This case is obviously a first step in the right direction. Why should the Public Guardians have immunity when private parties do not. What special privileges should they have when charging estates $250 per hour or more for attorneys fees and why should they be acting and preferred in the court system when there are already private attorneys who can competitively bid to take on these cases?
Public Guardians should not be immune from suit. Period. Far too many cases in Illinois have run amok without jurisdiction, massive tied in vendor and attorneys fees and no place to complain. Tim Evans does nothing about complaints in guardianships, other than toss them in the circular file. There is no oversight board, and no probate attorney or vendor is rated, publishes their price to family members and often family members cannot choose and both attorneys for the ward and vendors are tied in and are not rated.
Time to end all of this nonsense. This hot mess of an attorney, public guardian, unrated vendors and tie ins with tie ins has to end in Illinois.
Mary G. Sykes was narcotized to death on May 23, 2015, as have other seniors been killed off in probate when the money ran out. Alice Gore lost 29 gold teeth and had a feeding tube inserted laced with drugs when she took too long to eat and the nursing home just wanted to plunk a tray in front of her and pick it up 15 minutes later. The nursing homes charge the US govt and family members $5,000 to $15,000 per month for care services and provide one caretaker for 10 patients. That’s far too low a ratio. Nursing home routinely pay kickbacks to those forcing them to live there against their will. The system must end. Lawyers must be able to file suit to protect their human and civil rights.
And this blog, Mr. Larkin and Grogin, must be protected by the First Amendment. Your actions in prosecuting myself and Mr. Lanre Amu and Mr. Ken Ditkowsky are utterly reprehensible and a scourge on the history of US democracy.

With the stock market signaling that the economy is in trouble and unrest is so prevalent that even the most head in the sand media outlets are concerned, maybe it is time for the voice of the people to be heard by the people who are temporarily in power. The Donald Trump rise to public consciousness is no accident. The elder cleansing scandal and the assaults on the First Amendment (and the bill of rights) may not warrant even a mention in the mainstream media are clearly motivating many to a conscious desire for a return to the core values of America.
The fact that the records of the probate division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois reveal an Alice Gore case is so disturbing to many that they wonder if they will have to take the protection of their liberty and property interests into their own hands. Senior citizens are frightened that they too can be herded into a guardianship wherein a corrupt judge and an even corrupter guardian ad litem will not only cause their life savings to disappear, but, subject them to having 29 teeth pulled so that the gold filings in their teeth can be harvested for the benefit of the corrupt judicial officials (including but not limited to the Judge, the attorneys, the court appointed judicial officers, and those who cover-up their crimes). It is no comfort to Illinois citizens that there is a Mary Sykes case wherein the miscreants made no pretense as to their criminal activities and the ‘cover-up’ of the felonies promulgated in Sykes.
The IRS/ Lois Lerner felonies are not much comfort either. Everyone knows that the breach of fiduciary relationship is a taxable event, and those people who violation 18 USCA 371 in their cover-up of the criminal activity are jointly and severally liable for the Federal and State Income taxes. Why then is the Federal and State taxing authorities so reluctant to collect the taxes that are due? Illinois is on the verge of Bankruptcy. Why is the Illinois Department of Revenue so reluctant to drop in on Mr. Jerome Larkin and collect the billion or so dollars that he owes in income taxes, interest and penalties as the proximate cause of his ‘cover up’ and protection of literally thousands of these ‘elder cleansing’ cases? Ditto for the US Department of the Treasury.
Today’s Wall Street Journal cartoon is applicable:
I spoke today with a lady, who informed me that pursuant to the American’s with Disabilities Act, there is provision for citizen advocates. It was her thesis that ordinary citizens are entitled to speak up and stand up for America’s disabled and elderly even when the legal profession is uninterested or acting in concert with those criminals amongst us who prey on the elderly and the disabled. I have not personally researched her thesis, but, it makes sense to me as when JoAnne Denison published in her blog the disclosure of the perfidy of certain corrupt judges, corrupt lawyers, corrupt judicial officials and the massive cover-up by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, Jerome Larkin and his co-conspirators assaulted the First Amendment and stated that her blog was akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater!
NB. Why would Larkin say such a thing? It is obvious that his ox was being gored. The timing was quite interesting — the MaryGSykes blog had disclosed the certain nursing home operations were paying commissions (kickbacks) for referrals of guardianship wards. Simply put – a guardian who would place (with court approval) his/her ward into a nursing home would receive a substantial sum as a reward! As a single nursing home patient can yield to the facility a profit that can exceed 500 % ******.
Illinois is not the only State enjoying an abundance of judicial corruption! Florida is a disgrace, Ohio, California, ***** are reprehensible *****. THERE CRIMINALS PROMULGATING ELDER CLEANSING AND THEIR CRONIES HAVE OVERTHROWN THE LAWFUL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and we, the people, want our government back. We want it back not by revolution or electing loud mouthed political figures who promise everything and deliver nothing – we want law enforcement to enforce the law and the tax man to force those who have entered into the 18 USCA 242 and 18 USCA 371 conspiracies with Jerome Larkin (and his lookalikes in other States) to pay the taxes, interest and penalties that they owe.

Apparently there is one federal court judge that is doing his job in rebuking city attorneys for withholding evidence in a jury trial.
In his opinion, Chang ordered a new trial after finding that city attorneys had engaged in misconduct by intentionally withholding a recording of a police transmission that took place before the shooting. The officers had claimed that the transmission in question had alerted them that a car matching the one Pinex was driving had been involved in a shooting earlier that night. According to the Tribune, lawyers for Pinex had requested the recording prior to trial, only to be told that the city couldn’t find it. During the fourth day of trial, however, the city revealed the recording of the transmission, which talked about a different car that was not tied to a shooting. The presence of the recording forced Pinex’s attorneys to scramble for a new theory to present to the jury during the middle of the trial.
The Mayor has asked that the feds not investigate the City of Chicago lawyers. He asserts they need “better training and supervision”–an absolutely ridiculous assertion for an individual that has 7 years or more of college, has to take a bar exam and also has to take 40 hours of CLE every 2 years. Seems to me all these City Lawyers have learned to do is better manipulate a situation.
These attorneys, Jordan Marsh and Thomas Aumann, despite costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay the costs of a new trial, will likely go unpunished by the ARDC, but this blog, that tells you the truth has to be shut down for doing just that–revealing the Truth. Now the Truth always comes out in the end, but Jerome Larkin’s job (together with Chief Counsel James Grogin appears to be to keep it hidden for as long and possible and hope that judicial and lawyer wrongdoing is forgotten or just goes away despite the high cost of corruption to the public–now approaching some $100 million according to recent articles when you add in Burge’s torture scheme.
I want to know what is the difference between “forgetting about”, withholding and suppressing evidence and the lack of jurisdiction over Mary Sykes in her case, repeatedly quashing discovery and refusing to open an honest, thorough and complete investigation of 09 P 4585– a case where Mary was narcotized to death on May 23, 2015 when Judge Aicha McCarthy was presiding and the probate miscreant attorneys–Stern, Farenga, Schmeidel, Waller and Soehlig have never been investigated by the ARDC for missing assets, lack of jurisdiction, invading a safe deposit box without court order, seizing Gloria’s $200k when it was in Indiana when it was clearly her money from a lawsuit, then invalidating her Power of Attorney without Notice, filing a Petition for Partition, Hearing and Discovery?
Explain to me, Attorney Larkin and Grogin, how suppressing evidence of the loss of nearly $1 million in valuable coins and having the court repeatedly quash discovery (we still need to get the vault video tapes of what Carolyn Toerpe came in and out with, the bag of coins was sizeable, and I’d like to talk to the lady who signed her in and out of the vault area, and the banker who told Mary to get a Protective Order when Carolyn swiped $4,000 out of her account without authorization. How does the ARDC get away with this?
And how is it that Thomas Aumann and Jordan Marsh have no disciplinary complaints lodged against them for suppressing crucial video evidence in a wrongful death trial, but Denison and Ditkowsky do for reporting on a string of improprieties, breaches of the law, quashing discovery of crucial evidence.
If there is anyplace the feds MUST investigate, it MUST be the ARDC and Jerome Larkin and James Grogin. What is going on there? Numerous court decisions (Alvarez, Citizens United, Virginia State Bar v. Hunter Hogan, In re Sawyer, In re Weddingen and Rosemont v. Markham make it clear the authorities cannot discipline a professional for what is written in the news, but the ARDC is adept and skilled at changing black to white and white to black.
So here’s some clues for the feds: 1) take a look again at Peter Schmeidel and the people who died in the 2003 fire at the OPG in Chicago; 2) go and look at how my Chair Sang Yul Lee manipulated my proceeding and “fixed it”; 3) go take a look at Anna M Loftus* and if she fixed the proceedings of both Ditkowsky and Amu and then was awarded with a judgeship for that. In each of the Denison, Ditkowsky and Amu cases where lawyers told the truth about judicial and lawyer wrongdoing, in the end black became white and white became black. The judicial improprieties were proved in the end, but those revealing the Truth were disciplined for it.
The feds MUST investigate the city lawyers and MUST investigate the ARDC. it is not doing its job, and because the ARDC is not doing its job, seniors in probate are being killed without investigation, and the city is being drained to the tune of over $100 million for a system of wrongdoing and improprieties that result in the deaths of innocent citizens because wrongdoing officers and management “know” they will be protected, valid citizen complaints may be lost and evidence destroyed and suppressed.
This must end. Chicago deserves much better.
*Anna Loftus was on both the Ditkowsky and Amu cases. She is a friend of Ann Burke on the Illinois Supreme Court. Sang Yul Lee’s business partner is Matyas–a relative of Lisa (Murray) Madigan who “doesn’t do corruption cases” in Illinois, together with Anita Alvarez who is now under fire for her “I don’t do corruption cases”, and Diane Saltoun who sits on the same side of this argument. Unfortunately that lets wrongdoing run amok, everyone knows they will not suffer any consequences (see ARDC lack of discipline for Seth Gillman, and now Aumann and Marsh) and it has cost lives in Cook County’s probate division and in police brutality liabilities of more than $100 million to date in settlements and judgments against the city which can ill afford these amounts. A huge chunk of the city’s children live in poverty and routinely go hungry, often are homeless and without hats, gloves and mittens. This is not even to mention the lack of a good education where class sizes must be much smaller to give more attention to distressed children.

Whoever has read this blog is not shocked at all by this nonsense. We know that the fish stinks from the head in Chicago, and that means, if the White House has promised a prompt and thorough investigation of all judical, police and legal wrongdoing, all aspects of the violations of laws must be looked at. The feds must examine the City Law Department, talk to the judges involved and the attorneys involved in the courtrooms and ask their opinion about how videos of police murders and brutality are suppressed for many long months by the city.
For sure, if I were a federal investigator, I for certain would want to pull every complaint and grievance filed against every police officer, every judge and every lawyer in Chicago and determine how and why these complaints are routinely lost, dismissed without an investigation from the following agencies: CPD grievance intake, Illinois Atty Regn and Disciplinary Commission and the Judicial Inquiry Board, and the city of Chicago Inspector General. I would also pull records from the Mayor’s office, the Chicago FBI office, the CPD and letters to the Presiding Judge Timothy Evans and all Federal District Court judges complaining of judicial wrong doing and wrong doing by attorneys practicing there.
I am not surprised the Mayor said “please don’t investigate our lawyers at the City of Chicago” because that’s probably where the fish stinks the most.
I am certain that honest citizens have filed numerous complaints over police wrongdoing and brutality, and that lawyers at the City figured out ways to cover these issues up.
I have no doubt that James Larkin and perhaps others at the ARDC were consulted with to avoid any public backlash when the City lawyers were worried about such topics as 18 USC sec 4 or misprison of felony, obstruction of justice and spoliation of evidence.
For example, during my trial, Judge Stuart changed her testimony on whether or not she chained Gloria Sykes so that Gloria had to hand her funds over to her mother’s Guardianship Estate so the lawyers there could be paid some $150,000 in fees. At first she said absolutely not, she had never chained anyone before. Then later when I asked her how many people had she done this to, she said, “you know this was the first—- let me change that—I have never”. It was a Perry Mason moment for me which was short lived when the crooked court reporters (whom I had admonished not to change the transcript) did in fact change the transcript and those words were missing from the transcript. No matter, 6 weeks later she “suddenly retired” for her misdeeds.
In the Ramona DeGante estate, counsel for the Guardian asked for an Order of Possession from the court to kick out Ramona’s 80 year old wheel chair bound husband, and Judge Dole handed it out, no questions asked, as if it were a piece of halloween candy and the attorney–Rod Mollison, had just said “trick or treat.” Never mind the fact that the Husband, Carlos Sr was entitled to Notice, a Complaint for Eviction, discovery and a hearing. None of that happened. Accordingly his civil and human rights were clearly violated.
But not to let that stop her from doing this again, I just received another case, a certain DS complained that Judge Dole has done it again and has handed over funds held in a joint back account, between a husband and wife, where the wife was guardianized, the Temp Guardian was allowed to dip into funds in a joint account between husband and wife, without Notice, Discovery, a Petition to Partition and a Hearing on the merits. No need for that, the judge and the Temp Guardian just dipped right in and slammed the woman into a nursing home against her will. The husband is not allowed to see her. When the police repeatedly tried to remove them from a $1 million surburban home the OPG has targeted for their own coffers, consent to a guardianship, the couple steadfastly refused, and in the process, both were bruised, so what did APS and the OPG do? Charge a loving, kind husband with domestic violence and slap him with a criminal complaint–at age 80, no less. The whole mess is an appalling lack of justice and smacks of seniors for cash, which is what Probate in Illinois, and Probate on the 18th floor of the Daley center actually has become.
Now that’s TWICE Judge Dole has handed out orders without due process and has violated an 80 year old man’s human and civil rights. The feds should look into those cases too.
And if you complain to the ARDC or the JIB you hear nothing but excuses back. In the last letter I published from the ARDC a senior counsel said she “did not know” what Attorney Ethics Violations would be for felonious violations of state and federal laws. Amazing. Now the ARDC admits they do not go after attorney felons, just like Lisa Madagin (a/k/a Murray, daughter of a criminal atty that represented drug king pins in New York) –“does not do corruption”, and neither, apparently does Inspector General Diane Saltoun, or states attorney Anita Alvarez, who has also been asked to step down in the wake of the MacDonald-Jones-Legrier mess of 27 bullets pumped into innocent Chicago citizens.
The upshot? If Mayor Emanuel says “please don’t investigate our saintly city attorneys”, that for sure is the best reason to go there. And the ARDC too please, investigate how they routinely violate the human and civil rights of Chicago Citizens, including Denison, Ditkowsky and Amu. Don’t skip that one. It’s an easy one for them. No brainer.

From Gloria Sykes
Dear Friends and Foes,
FIRST I want to remind all of you that on JUNE 9, 2016, we will be memoralizing my mother, Mary G. Sykes, and in doing so, celebrate life and our abulity to pursue the evils that caused her premature death, the premature and wrongful deaths of other elderly and disabled caught in unnecessary guardianships–and hopefully prevent other premature deaths.
I look forward to meeting the many people who I’ve only met through FACEBOOK or email, or other social media and seeing the other people who have been so supportive my mother, me and other men and woman who were wronged.
NEXT….This is Jan 3, the third day in the year of 2016,where now with 20/20 hindsight I look back and acknowledge some of what was taught in the now gone year of 2015. Abundant in things to grieve over with violence smeared on every screen along with exhausted anger pulsing in the majority if faces I encounter daily, 2015 was a year of being lost and found. I lost the love of my life, my mother, Mary G. Sykes to the horrors of financial exploitation, discrimination,discrimination and elder abuse all sanctioned by the Cook County Probate Court (Judges, Connors, Stuart, and MacCarthy) — and then, over medication, suffocation, and as Dr. Bennett Blum explains it, “MURDER”. I found love and ate its bounty heartily trying to stave off grief and further finding humility in its presents and eventual absence and the knowledge that the courage to move forward is now even more heightened. I’ve become more acquainted with unique frequency of rage, distrust and loathing that’s been with me for many years making the interplay between people often difficult for me and I recent last year, learned to practice letting it go. In “letting it go” I was able to forgive, but never forget, which has given me a great positive outlook on life, and humanity, yet the people who did my mother harm, are but entities — and I no longer fear them or hate them. These people, lawyers, judges, relative(s) are non existent, like a roach eaten wooden chair, sprayed with poison and tossed away, forgotten. Letting go of any attachment in this life is very hard even when what you hold may be poisoning you, you may just be holding tighter to feel the embrace of something or anything in a tempest that is doing its best to uproot you and truly make you forget what it was like to be held, acknowledged, and cared for. In sum, life is good and I will never forget the blessings that have come my way, and often, overwhelmed me with the love, which I spoke of earlier. And such love, though often gently felt, provided the nexus for courage.
I will remember it all as the last six years are embeded in my brain like a carving so deep there is no filler that will hold. I want to remember you the lovely people, men and woman, young and old, most I’ve never met in person or even spoken to, who are reading these words and caring enough to hear these thoughts and to share your life in the moments it takes you to do so. I’m hungry to tell you I love you because it’s not such a scary thing to feel and the forces that preach to that standard probably do so because it’s real and there is nothing scarier than real life. It is beyond doubt, that I have, like many of you, been living a reality so horrible that even the greates of minds like Stephen King, could not create the experiences my mother — and I–have endured: A real life where a species beheld in open light of life literally, elderly and disabled people, ripped from their homes and good lives, placed under guardianship with the encouragedement of a Cottage Industry of attorneys who are presumed to be telling the truth to the elderly and disabled financially exploited and emotionally and often, physically abused — to the collateral damage, adult children who stand tall in the face of unfit and ignorant judges, who laughing at their deaths for their personal financial gain of the lawyers who stood/stand before them. These people are the enemies on their own chosing: and the law enforcement and other state institutions who failed to investigate, or aide an elderly or disabled person, there is also a sense of love in my heart for all of you. None of us can hide from God, or the Universe and there is no political power who can protect your from your upcoming(s). In this uncertain world, this I am certain.
We must remember, here in Cook County, especially Chicago, it is the very policing agencies I and other adult children seeking protections from the “enemies” sought, who believe that 16 gun shots into Teenager McDonald, or 7 gun shots killing Betty Jones and Quintonio LeGrier…..
On January 6, 2008, I too was roughed up by 5 Chicago Police Officers, who threw me to the floor of my home, handcuffed me and accused me of calling the Indiana State Police and telling them I had a gun and was going to kill myself. Then I was dragged down a flight of stairs, tossed in the back of a police wagon, and after driving me around for 30 minutes, hoping I would cause them reason to do me more harm, they pulled me into a local hospital psyc ward. Here, two CPD threatened to “take off” my clothes if I would remove the (tennis outfit) I was wearing. I recall it with great horror when one jumped on top of me and held me down, while another ripped my tennis shirt off of me, and then held me down while a nurse injected me with some medication — while I yelled rape and begged them not to give me any medications. I recall with greater horror when I awoke and the doctor said I could go home. I was without my phone, identification, money, let alone a coat, and it was 17 degrees outside. Then I recall the false police report the CPD entered, and attached was a medical record stating that I abused “an unknown prescription drug”. Hell, the only drug I ever used in my life, was Tomixfin, a drug to prevent another breast cancer which I ingested by doctors prescription for five years! This same medical report was used to discredit me in the probate and other courts, and the same police officer who held me down and stripped me of my tennis clothes, was the same man who LIED to the States Attorney and told them that Fred Toerpe didn’t beat me up and got the State Attorney Linda Alveraze to dismiss the charges against him in 2013. The Independent Police Review board not only received a certified letter from the Indiana Sheriff’s department that I never called them, and that they never called the CPD, but also the evidence that proved I never called and I was never suicidal, and yet, after two meetings with me, and I signed the affidavit, all the documentations were lost and the five CPD were never ivestigated. In sum, these are the same officers, or police department I and so many other adult children have reached out to for help, and law enforcement refused to help us and or help our loved ones. THE CHICAGO POLICE as other policing agencies, THEY ARE NOT HERE TO SERVE AND PROTECT US…. It makes no difference whether you are black, elderly, disabled or adult children trying to save lives.
I wish those police officers, the Judges, States Attorney(s), and Cook County Sheriff who did wrong no harm in 2016, as I know, call it Karma, or Kismet, but what goes around clearly does come around. Let us adult children be alright this year of 2016, let those that suffer in silence be heard even if it’s just a slight whisper and those that are isolated from their loved ones thtough unlawful and wrongful guardianships receive many kisses to every a bit of you that air touches and we all sleep more, love more, dream more, think more, care more, help more, and keep our constitutions held fast for ourselves and loved ones.
I hope to see many of you on January 9, 2016, in memory of my dear, loving Mother, Mary G. Sykes and together we will celebrate life. Together, we will show the enemies that we are united far greater than the thousand of protesters who are demanding the resignation of Mayor Emanual, States Attorney Alverez, et al. .This is what January 9th is all about: my mother lost her life while under guardianship — as so many other elderly and disable who were “murdered” before — in order that US adult children can save lives.
Now that, saving lives, is a mighty reason to enjoy 2016.
God bless,
Gloria Jean Sykes

Continuing Legal Education is an oxymoron for the lawyers who have reviewed the actions of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission pursuant to the administration of Jerome Larkin and several other Lawyer disciplinary Commissions. You cannot have Continuing education when you have void as to the basic tenets of the law. For instance, in light of Rule 8.3 and 18 USCA 4, coupled with Article 1 of the Illinois Constitution, the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution and the recent SCOTUS First Amendment cases – including and not limited to Alvarez, how is it possible that any lawyer could be suspended from the practice of law for reporting corrupt judicial officials and/or authoring a blog what outs corrupt Judges and Lawyers.
You cannot make this stuff up. Larkin and his gang of incompetent and corrupt co-conspirators actually claimed that JoAnn Denison’s blog “MaryGSykes” was akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater. The blog discloses criminal activities that more not so different from the 1930-40 Holocaust. For instance, one of most shocking things about the Holocaust was the propensity of the bad guys to kill hundreds of victims and then harvest the gold that was found in their filings! In the Alice Gore case that is exactly what happened. Indeed, reporting the horror was so shocking that Larkin wrote to the Supreme Court of Illinois that such was akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater. I guess he felt that his co-conspirators who are raping the medicare program with $10 – 15,000 a month charges for their participating in the exploitation the elderly and the redistribution of their assets would lose business.
America has had its share of miscreants, con=men (Larkin is reported to teach ethics in CLE classes), and outright infamous criminals. They are legends! Some people even write books about them. Today’s Wall Street Journal has the following article.
|
Here is the article Ken is referring to:
http://www.wsj.com/articles/cheaters-sometimes-prosper-1451513912
which is a book review of “My Adventures with YOUR Money”
Also available in Kindle.
I am not going to publish the book review because it just gives energy to con men and trains people like the miscreants we see in court even more, but you can get the gist of what Ken is saying from the book review:
“To the American Damphool Speculator, surnamed the American Sucker, otherwise described herein as The Thinker Who Thinks He Knows But Doesn’t—greetings! This book is for you! Read as you run, and may you run as you read.”
By T.D. Thornton
St. Martin’s, 320 pages, $27.99
Jacob Herzig was born in 1870, the son of well-to-do Jewish immigrants in New York’s Lower East Side. As a young man, he stole money from the family’s furrier business. Sent to a reformatory, he befriended an elderly con,Willie Graham Rice, whose name he appropriated. For the next 40 years, his life was a whir of scams, fortunes quickly made and lost, and run-ins with the authorities.
Estranged from his family, Rice found himself, in the spring of 1901, short of money in New York. An acquaintance gave him a tip for a dead cert in an upcoming race. Rather than betting on the horse, he spent his last dollars advertising the tip in the papers. The horse came in, and Rice’s race-tipping service, Maxim & Gay, was born. Within a year, the firm was said to have earned $1 million. Rice started a racing paper, developed a large client database (aka the “sucker list”) and opened a mail-order betting service. The service tipped winners in fixed races and heavily advertised its successes by using, in Mr. Thornton’s words, “insider terminology and a cloak of secrecy to forge a compelling narrative.”
Good times didn’t last. Within a couple of years, the feds had cracked down and the paper folded…….
You get the idea. Ken is noting that probate is full of cons and scams, just as this book is, and when it’s real peoples’ lives it becomes disgusting, especially when it involves licensed attorneys and when you complain that the attorneys are engaged in crime, you get a famous letter like this one back from the ARDC insisting that they can’t figure out the Ethical Rule that applies to attorneys engaging in crime, and besides (like L. Madigan and Alvarez), they just “don’t do” crime or corruption:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6FbJzwtHocwNll4TVpTLVVYdU0
Don’t let this window of opportunity get away.
Now that Washington has promised that it will conduct a thorough and honest investigation of the Police, the Police Inquiry Board, the Mayor’s office, Judges and Lawyers who cover up evidence of police brutality, videos and other information which belongs to, and should be readily accessible to the public, for all of you out there who have been abused by the police, know that the police acted in conjunction with APS (Adult Protective Services), the OPG (Office of Public Guardian) or any other tied in agency to file false police reports against you, be sure to refile your complaints against the police, because an FBI investigatory team will be looking for false police reports, police brutality.
How many cases has this blog seen already of the OPG colluding with the police to deny Civil and Human rights to probate victims and their families?
Cases in Illinois where the police colluded with state agencies to fleece the estate of the elderly that I am aware of:
I am certain there are more cases out there where the police colluded falsely with APS, GAL’s and other probate attorneys to fleece seniors and disableds. If you know of any cases where the police colluded with state agencies to deny disableds and senior citizens rights in the Chicago area please come forward to report them. Please file with the Judicial Inquiry Board, the ARDC, the local Police Grievance Boards and send a copy to the Dept of Justice at askdoj@doj.gov. Write me for the private FBI email address for violations of Civil and Human rights.
Ken and I care and don’t want this to happen any longer. The ARDC and Jerome Larkin and James Grogin now write me and say if a crime occurs, they don’t know what Ethical Rules are violated and they will take no action until sometime after a lying, thieving, knivving attorney is convicted.
But when you blog about corruption, they go after you right away to shut you down. Just like the Chicago police management that has to “study” video evidence for months of 16 bullets for one poor black child, and another bullet to the neck for a 55 year old activist woman. (Of course, they claim her being an activist and a bullet through the door to her neck is a coincidence, but that’s just a little too much for anyone to swallow).
What is happening in Chicago is an absolute disaster. Blacks and minorities in poor neighborhoods are now being used for target practice. The OPG, APS and police collude on a regular basis to drag senior citizens and the disabled out of their homes and then they file false police reports against honest citizens caring for their aged parents. All these miscreants want to do is fleece estates and put Seniors and Disabled in nursing homes, a/k/a ghettos and slums for the elderly and disabled. They will be tied to wheel chairs and beds, forcibly implanted with feeding tubes if they take too long to eat or need assistance, they will never see the light of day or take a breath of fresh air outside. It would be better if they just committed a felony and went to prison. And all of this is so a state agency can take $250 per hour in tied in attorneys fees and grossly inflated tied in agency fees for case (mis) managers, (anti) social workers and visiting nurses (of death).
So keep on filing your grievances. Keep on sending a copy to the FBI. Ken and I will be glad to help you and you know you can call me any time for assistance. The ARDC has left Ken and I with plenty of time to help victims, write their stories for the blog, file complaints with the authorities, and write books on what really goes on in “Crook” county.
Let’s take the “crook” out of “crook” county.
My Christmas was lovely with friends and family over for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This is now, what, about the 5th day of Christmas (I need all 12 days to get everything done, I assure you).
One of my beloved children bought my husband and I some tickets to a Christmas Carol and it was by far, the best performance I have seen, complete with smoke and mirrors. I cried thru most of it.
Since I frequent the Cook County Court system and still talk to corruption victims on a regular basis (they just keep on flowing in, the FBI investigation team for the deaths on the south side by police, take note), the entire play reminded me of my current avocation: personal counselor, blogger and book writer for the probate and corruption victim.
I do want to wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to those of you falsely maligned and who cannot see their beloved parents and disabled relatives (as Gloria saw her beloved mother only a handful of times in 5 years and was under an illegal and unconstitutional isolation and gag order) You are constantly in my prayers and thoughts as you go through this holiday season with false Orders of Protection, false police reports, false gag orders and the like and you are asked to comply with the gaslighting of the elderly, which is a form of abuse the probate courts routinely promote and foster.
Who is Scrooge in Probate? Name one Probate attorney that is tied in. Name the attorneys from the OPG or Office of Public Guardian where one infamous Tom Brennan once told me in the hallway when my client only wanted to stay in his home until he died and OPG wanted to sell the home and foist him into a locked down nursing home where he’d rather die forthwith: “Some people (elderly) just remain in the community far too long when they should be put in an institution.” Thanks Scrooge. I have a few institutions for you too when you suppress the rights of the elderly and violate their Human and Civil rights, and I’m sure the same is said of you that you remain in the community far too long when there are institutions with orange clothing and silver wrist and ankle bracelets waiting for you.
But I digress.
So I want to leave you all with this famous exchange between the good people of the earth and Mr. Scrooge:
From the original play:
Spirit of Christmas Present: My time with you is at an end, Ebenezer Scrooge. Will you profit from what I’ve shown you of the good in most men’s hearts?
Ebenezer: I don’t know, how can I promise!?!?
Spirit of Christmas Present: If it’s too hard a lesson for you to learn, then learn this lesson!
[opens his robe, revealing two starving children]
Ebenezer: [shocked] Spirit, are these yours?
Spirit of Christmas Present: They are Man’s. This boy is Ignorance, this girl is Want. Beware them both, but most of all, beware this boy!
Ebenezer: But have they no refuge, no resource?
Spirit of Christmas Present: [quoting Scrooge] Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
First Collector: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
Ebenezer: Are there no prisons?
First Collector: Plenty of prisons.
Ebenezer: And the union workhouses – are they still in operation?
First Collector: They are. I wish I could say they were not.
Ebenezer: Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I’m very glad to hear it.
First Collector: I don’t think you quite understand us, sir. A few of us are endeavoring to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth.
Ebenezer: Why?
First Collector: Because it is at Christmastime that want is most keenly felt, and abundance rejoices. Now what can I put you down for?
Ebenezer: Huh! Nothing!
Second Collector: You wish to be anonymous?
Ebenezer: [firmly, but calmly] I wish to be left alone. Since you ask me what I wish sir, that is my answer. I help to support the establishments I have named; those who are badly off must go there.
First Collector: Many can’t go there.
Second Collector: And some would rather die.
*****
I see a definite collorary here. The probate judges and attorneys are nothing but Scrooge. And I fear that even 100 Christmas angels of the past, present and future cannot make them open their hearts to the very people they liquidate all their assets for attorneys fees and tied in nursing homes.
So I leave you with this:
Honest Attorney (Ditkowsky and Denison): Can I count on your support, Mr. Scrooge (probate miscreant) to assist us in enforcing the Human and Civil rights of the Elderly and Disableds?
Scroogy Probate miscreants: Are there no nursing homes, no Assisted Living centers, no psych wards where these elderly can go while we fleece their estates?
Honest Attorey: But sir, most do not want to go there and many would rather die. Most are abused, tied to wheel chairs, beds and treated horribly, often drugged with chemical restraints. They slump over and drool, barely able to move. They implant feeding tubes against their will so they do not need to take time to chop food and spoon feed them. They never see the light of day or take a breath of fresh air ever again.
Scroogy Probate miscreants: Good. Then if the nursing homes, assisted living centers and psych wards are still in operation, I support them (by getting kickbacks). Those who are elderly and can’t fight back must go there and the sooner the better. Use the police, use APS, use OPG, whatever it takes to get them in there and drain the estate. I own many filthy, decrepit nursing homes. I send out expensive (anti) social workers, case (mis) managers and visiting nurses (of death). I can make money from misery.
******
And I want to thank all the probate miscreants I have met over the last 5 years who have provided me with the inspriation to write these few lines.
As a non psycopath, you have educated me well in your deceptive, evil ways. You have shown me your tricks, your deceptions, your lies and skullduggery. I would never have believed all of this or thought of it myself, unless I saw it with my own two eyes, heard it with my own two ears. You are tuly the spawn of Satan and his flying monkeys. Be proud, you evil ones. You have created death, misery and shame by the boatloads. Your holidays of evil for sure are pleasure to you.
As for the rest of us, we pray for the many victims you have left behind in your wake of evil and greed. A string of tears, misery and grief is your legacy in the probate world.
Merry Christmas to the good ones out there, all of you. May God/dess save you and bless you. And I pray that the evil ones be bound up to speak only Truth and Justice.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 28,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 10 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Okay, that was a quote from Har Justice on my FB. Good one! Although when they don’t take time to cut and feed meals the elderly lovingly but instead (falsely) deem them an aspiration risk and put in a feeding tube against their will, add a few chemical restraints to it (illegal) and then tie them to a bed or wheel chair because they’re a fall risk, I think slums and ghettos are better places. You can get out of them alive. Not so in a gship nursing home placement. From what I’ve seen most die and many are murdered and none are investigated. Once the gship is started, most wards will be forced into a nursing home and will never see the light of day again or breathe any fresh air again. Ever.
http://www.assistedseniorliving.net/nursing-homes/worst-watchlist/
And I wonder if that’s where the probate courts get their list of nursing homes for wards forced to go there. Nah, they already have a list of nursing homes with the best paybacks. (See prior post on sign from Sunrise of Park Ridge with a $2,000 bounty on any elder’s head making them a target for probate courts and Guardians)
From the website:
The country has a problem! Over 90% of Nursing Homes in the United States have had some kind of violation or confirmed complaint in the last 3 years. Some of these issues are minor and some are life treatening. So, how do you know which nursing homes you can trust. As you are browsing nursing homes on this site, check the reviews at the bottom of each listing as many have warnings about potential problems. We have created administrative reviews for nursing homes with outstanding issues. Many of these problems may be minor so please check medicare.gov or your local Ombudsmen for the latest information.
The nursing homes on this list were flagged as some the worst facilities in the country. The original data set was derived from Medicare.gov and then was expanded based on data from the state web sites and from other public resources. The list is relatively short so there are plenty of other options to chose from. If you need to find an alternative to a nursing home on this list, use our advance search to find ALL the nearest services in your area ( we list 98% of all the available facilities). After you find a set of facilities that interest you, call your local Ombudsmen or state inspection office to get the most current information about these options. You may be surprised.
There are over 15,000 nursing homes in the US. This list of bad nursing homes represents only a very small percentage of the total options available (less than 1%). Here are the worst nursing homes in the country, you can find options to these facilities using our advance search (Upper Right).
And this is apparently before the double shooting on Dec. 26, 2015 involving a disabled man and a 55 year old activist woman.
I tell you this has shut down my appetite for shopping the Mag Mile EXCEPT for the store supporting the protestors and inviting them in for tea, coffee and cakes. Maybe some crow for Rahm Emanuel.
In any case, some have formed Coalition for a New Chicago. Let’s hope it involves Truth and Justice for all in the City. 2016 is a new year. If the feds get in there and look at the Police Department, the Attorney Registration and Discipline Commission, the Judicial (do nothing) Inquiry Board and all the judges and lawyers involved in cover up and supressing evidence of innocent deaths in the City should be investigated and removed. First step. And then they can take a look at how the corruption festers and flourishes because anytime a lawyer speaks out the ARDC and Jerome Larkin and their cronies and henchmen go right after them and take away their licenses–and these entities, when the corruption is published and is shown to be true in major publication, do not rectify the wrongs and harms they have created and show no remorse (Sykes case, myself and Ken Ditkowsky, Judge LE, for Atty Lanre Amu).
Chicago clearly needs a Civil Rights overhaul. The problems with police, law enforcement, the courts, attorneys, judges and politicians has risen to a crisis level.
Gov. Dan Ryan went to prison because he ignored/covered up a massive CDL license scam that eventually led to the death of 5 innocent children when a piece of truck broke off and lodged under a family mini van. The jury agreed that a properly trained and licensed CDL truck driver would have inspected the truck and not let that happen.
The systematic denial of Civil Rights to activists (Bettie Jones was one, what a coincidence she was shot thru her door in the neck), their harassment in the street by police, the destruction of my video indicating as late as July, 2014, one year prior to her death, Mary Sykes was function on a very high level and clearly not incapacitated, show the incredible level of corruption and cover ups in Chicago coupled with denial of basic First Amendment rights (this blog).
Let’s hope and pray the feds investigate Civil Rights complaints against the police, pols, lawyers and judges that support corruption in Chicago and get the bums out of office.

Subject: Justice Now for Bettie and Quintonio
Hi,
I signed a petition to Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago and United Nations Human Rights Commission which says:
“Early Saturday morning, Chicago police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex. Police shot through an unopened door and killed Ms. Bettie Jones — who died from a gunshot wound to the neck [1]. Officers then turned their weapons onto Quintonio Legrier, a 19 year old holding a baseball bat and experiencing a mental health crisis. The officer’s identity has not been released and he has been placed on administrative duties for 30 days. We demand:
– The immediate release of the officer’s name;
– Fire the officer who murdered Bettie Jones and Quintonio Legrier
– An independent investigation by the United Nation
– The resignation of Rahm Emanuel
”Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!
Early Saturday morning, Chicago police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex. Police shot through an unopened door and killed Ms. Bettie Jones — who died from a gunshot wound to the neck [1]. Officers then turned their weapons onto a young man suffering from mental illness holding a baseball bat, 19-year-old Quintonio Legrier.The officer’s identity has not been released and he has been placed on administrative duties for 30 days. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has announced that the murder will be investigated by the Independent Police Review Authority. But this is not enough.
From Rekia Boyd to Laqun McDonald, the violence perpetuated at the hands of the Chicago Police Department continues to claim the lives of Black women and men living in Chicago, and that violence continues to go unchecked by city leaders and officials.
The Chicago police were called in order to help with a domestic disturbance. However, instead of providing help to those in need, Chicago police exercised excessive violence and claimed two more Black lives.
Recent cases and released videos show a culture of excessive force and a ‘shoot first and cover it up’ culture within Chicago’s police department. They are killing people, mostly Black people whether or not those people cooperate. The state’s attorney and mayor’s offices seem determined to assist officers that abuse and murder the very citizens they are sworn to protect and serve.
We are demanding more than a full and transparent investigation into the murders of Bettie Jones and Quintonio Legrier. We are demanding authentic justice. The entire Chicago Police Department needs to be changed, from the racist, unjust policies to the people who enforce them.
Bettie Jones was a member of Action Now and we will not rest until she gets justice.

Of course you can add to the cover ups in Chicago myself, Ken Ditkowsky and Lanre Amu for speaking out as lawyer activists against this type of cover up and corruption in Chicago and “Crook” County. Apparently, according to the ARDC, we are not allowed to speak out publicly against corruption and cronyism, unethical conduct and immoral lawyers and judges in Illinois.
But we want to take the “Crook” out of Crook County.
We speak up and out for human and civil rights and the Illinois Atty Regn & Discipline Comm. persecutes and prosecutes us. It does not let the victims of its corruption testify at the Tribunal and Hearing Boards (Gloria Sykes and Scott Evans, her friend) in an obvious cover up action. It does not respect laws such as 47 USC sec 230 which provides Free Speech and First Amendment rights to the Internet and Blogs such as this one (this Blog is the one that the ARDC wanted to shut down). It wanted to stop Lanre Amu from revealing the fact that in cases he appeared in, a certain Judge’s brother was opposing counsel and winning motions that there was no way he should have won. She and he never disclosed this fact. The same Judge sat on the Board of Directors of a corporation she was hearing cases on, and always ruled in the Corporation’s favor. Sometime after this was announced on this Blog, Crain’s Chicago Business investigated, found the allegations to be true, and the Corporation involved dumped her and publicly apologized for the corruption.
The Judge has not apologized or removed herself from the bench. The ARDC has not apologized to Attorney Lanre Amu because apparently he, being a well educated Black immigrant from Africa is similar to the Blacks some Chicago police use for target practice in certain ethnic sections of Chicago. The Chicago Police have apologized for this shooting and acknowledged it as a mistake but refuse to turn over all documents, videos and information–despite the fact all of this belongs to the public. The City of Chicago does not personally own any of that.
I would like to know if Jerome Larkin and James Grogin, head Administrator and Chief Counsel for the ARDC, participated in any manner with the Laquan McDonald shooting, or any shooting where information, documents, records and video were not released, or the release was delayed and who requested the delay. Lawyers are not supposed to participate in obstruction of justice or supression of evidence. A city lawyer must provide “honest services” to the public. I do not believe “honest services” includes coverups for friends and bosses, nor does it include denying FOIA requests to cover up information, documents and video belonging to the public.
It is interesting to note that the reason why Ken Ditkowsky and I were prosecuted by the ARDC when the perps of the problems in the Sykes 09 P 4585 case were not is because one of the Guardians ad Litem wrote a letter to the ARDC to investigate Ken Ditkowsky and myself, but not her and her crooked cronies–Peter Schmeidel, Cynthia Farenga, Deborah JoSoehlig, Harvey Waller and the Judges O’Connor and Stuart (who would soon retire over changing her testimony at my trial).
This is exactly similar to the Laquan McDonald case and now Bettie Jones and Mr. Legrier. 16 shots for Master McDonald and 8 for Mr. Legrier. (One commentator darkly joked on a blog, “you gotta admit those Chicago cops are really thorough with the bullets.”)
The protestors have been out interfering with the Board of Trade, the Merc and the shops on Michigan Ave. Who wants to do business with those entities knowing they are being targeted by protestors who want the Abuses of Power and unnecessary deadly force to end. I don’t and when I see protestors at these entities, I don’t want to do business with or through them either until the problem of Abuse of Power and Excessive Force ends.

The Chicago Police scandal is not occurring in a vacuum. http://on.wsj.com/1mdjWiF Illinois being on the verge of Bankruptcy is and having so many political types go to jail is also not occurring in a vacuum.
When Lanre Amu exposed a judge who was presiding over a case in which she was a board member of the defendant and her brother was the defendant’s attorney Mr. Larkin, the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, and the Illinois Supreme Court invoked the ‘code of silence’ and issues and ultimatum to Lawyer Amu – observe the code of silence or lose your license to practice law!
When JoAnne Denison and I called attention to elder cleansings of Mary Sykes, and the total disregard for her human and civil rights, the two corrupt guardians ad litem screamed to Larkin and the Illinois ARDC for aid — the call for an HONEST INVESTIGATION published in Probate Sharks and later in MaryGSykes blog might cause scrutiny of Cook County case 09 P 4585! Larkin acted! Even though prohibited by the Rule of Law, the conspiracy of silence in direct violation of 18USCA 371 and 18 USCA 242 openly and notoriously acted and continues to act.
Only Mary Sykes, Alice Gore and some old people died. There were no demonstrations in the streets, no religious people decried the slaughter of innocents. No one mentioned that when Alice Gore’s mouth was ravaged so that the miscreants could garner the few pennies from her gold filings *****. Indeed just as the media and the law was concerned with bigger things as the Holocaust was promulgated, they were silent as hundred (if not thousands) of senior citizens were provided the final solution by the Illinois Courts.
Yes, most judges and lawyers are honest decent people. Indeed, most policeman are honest decent people. HOWEVER, all these honest decent people are silent as thousands of innocent senior citizens are being administered to by the minority of corrupt judges, corrupt lawyers, corrupt judicial officials and all the corrupt public officials are being exposes for their role in the coverup of all types of government corruption (http://on.wsj.com/1mdjWiF)
It is time for law enforcement to enforce the law, and root out the criminals who are polluting our government institutions. Law enforcement has the tools — at the very least Jerome Larkin and his cohorts who are engaging in elder cleansing ought to pay the income taxes, interest and penalties on the booty that was/is stolen from hundreds of senior citizens by the open and notorious guardianships such as Sykes, Gore, Wyman, Tyler, etc.
nb. No one put a gun to Jerome Larkin’s head and forced him to misuse his office and attempt to silence Amu, yours truly, Denison, **** and others. Larkin knew of Rule 8.3 and knew of 18 USCA 4. He also knew of Article 1 of the Illinois Constitution and the First Amendment. Instead, he used the color of his office to attempt to silence the call for HONEST INVESTIGATIONS. This voluntary action on Larkin’s part makes him personally liable for the taxes, interest and penalties of his co-conspirators.

Many of these judges resigned after paying prostitutes, accepting bribes, fixing cases, exparte communications (taking to one side but not the other and a wide range of misconduct.
Cochran, a Murray County magistrate for eight years, was convicted of orchestrating a plot to plant drugs on a woman shortly after she publicly accused him of propositioning her in his chambers.
When Angela Garmley, of Chatsworth, appeared before Cochran in April 2012 on a routine legal matter, Cochran said he’d grant her a favorable ruling in exchange for sex, prosecutors said.
Garmley previously told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Cochran told her he wanted a mistress he could trust and asked her to return to the courthouse the next day wearing a dress with no underwear.
All told, the magistrate was convicted of six counts, including one that he sexually assaulted a county employee over a six-year period.
This type of conduct apparently went on with impunity for years, if not decades. Prosecutors routinely would refuse to go after judges committing crimes. Bar associations did nothing. Complaints were routinely ignored, as with the letter I published a few days that if the lawyer is involved is powerful, the intake attorney suddenly “does not understand” what criminal codes are violated when crimes are committed against the public.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FbJzwtHocwbXp5ZFViU0pqUU0/view?usp=sharing
Another attorney, suspended in another state for revealing corruption and crimes in the judicial system there and pushing for the authorities (FBI, states attorneys, bar associations and disciplinary boards) to take action when judges were involved in corruption there. He assembled together a long list of the crimes and ethical rules violations in his letter to the Florida State
Just weeks before Cochran was sentenced to prison, a Fulton grand jury indicted former Chief Judge Amanda Williams from the Brunswick Judicial Circuit on two felony counts. She is charged with giving a false statement to the Judicial Qualifications Commission and violating her oath of office.
In 2012, Williams resigned from the bench after being accused of running her courtroom under tyrannical rule and indefinitely locking up drug court offenders. One defendant, Lindsey Dills, was sentenced by Williams in 2008 to indefinite detention in solitary confinement with no outside contact
Dills, previously flagged as a suicide risk, slit her wrists after 61 days in detention.
This video is endemic of problems in the Chicago area related to corruption.
Mayor RE in Chicago covered up the murder of LaQuan McDonald for 14 months, and covered up the fact that myself, Ken Ditkowsky and Lanre Amu publicly objected to corruption in the court rooms by suspending all of us for simply telling the truth.
Judge Stuart left the bench for lying during my trial, she has not written to the ARDC to apologize and ask I and Ken be reinstated to correct her Karma, Lanre Amu reported on corruption, Crian’s Chicago Business picked it up, investigated and confirmed that a brother of a judge appeared before Judge Lynn Egan and she ruled in his favor multiple times.
What Skokie did to this poor woman was horrid. The two cops coming afterward and comforting the woman should be promoted. I hope the reported the cop before them, then they should be given a “corruption outing” medal.
All cops, lawyers, judges should be tested for psychopathy/narcissims/sociopathy. The results should be published.
I called for this at the ARDC last month because their management knows they must Ethics Report under the Illinois Eithi c Re[porting Act of 2009 and they refuse to do so.
Please tell Mr. Larkin and Mr. Grogan to file Ethics reports for all managers, attorneys and staff.
The Illinois Legislature is being snubbed by the people who are required to enforce the laws–the Illinois Atty Regn and Disciplinary Comm.
With all of the Ethical breaches in Chicago, the following people simply have to take and publish their MRI/brain/pet scan for psychopathy/narcissism/sociopathy:
I am claling on the authorities to get this done.
Time to forge a new, ethical and honest Cook County, Illinois.
And from the land of Texas abusive guardianships, we have this story:
A former police officer and Homeland Security, the man had no health insurance. With a mass in his abdomen and a need for air, food and nutrients via hospital technology, the hospital wants to shut it all down and seeks a guardianship to do it.
This should be a national outrage. Is this where we have come. How is it that a hospital has the right to take in and then terminate life through a court system?
Everyone involved in this outrage at the hospital should be immediately tested with a brain scan/pet scan/MRI for psychopathy/narcissism/sociopathy and removed from this case. No one like that should be involved in a guardianship. They should be removed, and this includes the lawyers and judges, doctors and nurses.
Who does this to another human being?
Apparently the authorities in Texas think it is okay.
In the land of Illinois, we have seen the likes of Jerome Larkin, head aministrator of the Ill. Regn and Atty Discipline Comm. watch and do nothing as Mary Sykes was stripped of $2 million in assets, $1 million with repeatedly quashed discovery, no investigation (when the ARDC could have investigated when asked by Ken Ditkowsky and myself, but instead it covered up nefarious activities of Illinois licensed lawyers because they–Cynthia Farenga, Adam Sterm, Peter Schmeidel, Harvey Waller–all those who profit from abusive gships like the one Mary was in, asked the ARDC to do so. The ARDC then complied with days of kangaroo court testimony, a ruthless persecution of Ken and myself and others who dared to buck money making and money grubbing system of grief, despair and terror heaped upon families in the court system. In my case, the family and dozens of supporter were there for me to fight an abusive system. Only the money grubbers showed up for the ARDC to protect like vultures the rich dead flesh the court system allows them to feist upon)
Then we have LaQuan McDonald where likely dozens of city attorneys were PAID to cover up a brutal police murder of a child–a 17 year old boy.
The corruption in Illinois is endemic. We now have the internet, we can now easily find and investigate ourselves. We have videos of Mary acting competently, begging the court system for help, begging Judges Stuart, Connors, MacCarthy for help, and none helped her. Ever.
This has to end in Illinois. Demand the Illinois ARDC file its ethics reports. Demand that attorneys who engage in cover ups be tested for being psychopaths/sociopaths and removed from office.
Chicago must purge this insidious and pervasive corruption from its ranks.

Some students cannot register for next semester, and may not be able to use health services, and cannot see their grades, not be able to apply to graduate and other nefarious problems all because they do not want to fund education for Illinois.

Dear Counsel;
It has come to my attention in speaking with PsychD’s and Board Licensed Psychiatrists that you may be at risk for psycopathy/narcissim/sociopathy and that is the reason you unjustly prosecuted and persecuted me, Ken Ditkowsky and Lanre Amu–and we have all spoken the Truth that there is corruption in the court system.
You repeatedly dismiss valid citizen complaints (see my blog for manifest injustice).
In the case of Lanre Amu, he spoke out against Judge Lynn Egan, and subsequently Crain’s Chicago Business investigated and found the allegations to be true. Then, the corporations involved discharged her from her position on the Board of Directors and publicly apologized for the breach of ethics and corruption.
The ARDC has not done the same. It shows no remorse for public corruption, lying and deceptive practices by corrupt attorneys and judges on a repeated basis.

What a beautiful post. Thanks so much. You are a talented musician and writer. Keep up the good work.
Yes it can become quite a “crime” to make less money, way less money, than your former spouse, especially when your time is spent trying to stay out of jail because you can’t keep up with a lawyer’s bills. It ends up going way beyond not being able to buy stuff as nice as the other parent does or driving the older car.
Because I don’t recall us ever really going without around here. I remember homemade gifts and cakes, homemade dinners, laughter and love. I remember all those trips to the library instead of the movie theater, garage sale-ing together instead of trips to the mall. I remember things you can’t put a price-tag on; the gifts of togetherness, laughter, faith, reading, studying, caring for animals, gardens and friends. I remember scholarship applications/essays and wonderful academic acceptance letters.
But more than all this material stuff, it goes to…

http://abc7chicago.com/news/protesters-march-near-midway-airport/1127609/
Protestors march around Chicago shutting down businesses and income to Chicago for protesting the death of an unarmed child with 16 bullets. Young Laquan McDonald.
Why don’t they ask the Illinois Atty Regn and Disciplinary Committee how many corrupt attorneys they protected? Why are they asking the Illinois Judiciary Inquiry Board how many judges that they protected?
Where are the 13 other videos the city attorneys and Mayor refuse to turn over?
I know how this all happened and so does Ken Ditkowsky. If a lawyer speaks the truth about corruption in Chicago, they disbar or suspend them. But if a lawyer covers up, obstructs justice, destroys or suppresses evidence, they ignore it with a letter of dismissal. Mr. Lanre Amu spoke out against certain judges, the media investigated and confirmed the corruption and the judge involved resigned her position at the corporation and the corporation apologized to the public and shareholders, but not the ARDC. Nope, they were in league with this corrupt judge. Crains Chicago Business published the truth, but not the ARDC, they cover up the truth.
See below:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6FbJzwtHocwNll4TVpTLVVYdU0/view?usp=sharing
This is how the ARDC responds to valid citizen complaints. They pretend they can’t prosecute or open an inquiry. They pretend that crimes and felonies are insufficient to prosecute lawyers. But, then they prosecute THIS blog, block all my witnesses, make one witness stand up during my Review Board hearing and declare to the entire world that what I say on my blog is true, and the Review Board does not mention it. They claim I lied (when I did not) and they prosecute me.
My Review Board hearing was filled with my supporters and those who protested corruption in the Courts. They made sure that crucial witnesses (Diane Nash, an original Selma Marcher) could not get in and relay the story to the mega news media (Ophra Winfrey and Hollywood).
When are the protestors going to demand that the Mayor resign, the judges resign and the chief of the ARDC that protects the lawyers resign (Jerome Larkin and James Grogin). They should also demand the chief of the Judicial Inquiry Board resign for protect the crimes and cover ups of Illinois judges. The crimes and the mob are endemic to our court system (see prior blogs).
I hereby demand that Jerome Larkin and all those that persecuted myself and and Ken Ditkowsky and Lanre Amu be tested for psyopathy/narcissism and sociopathy and publish the results.
The public demands this. We want uncorrupted officials for the the $200k per year per public official we spend to have these people commit a string of felonies upon the public.
And while I continue my campaign to ask that Jerome Larkin and James Grogin take tests (brain scan, pet scan or MRI) to determine if they and any staff members at the Ill. Regn. Atty Discipline Comm. are psychopaths, narcissists or sociopaths, people continue to protest the judicial tragedy of Laquan McDonald in Chicago, both online and in the streets.
No one who is a good person wants anyone else to get hurt. The pols, judges and lawyers involved must resign. Those who continue in office should volunteer to take a brain scan/MRI/pet scan for psychopathy and resign if they have it.
People in Chicago are tired of all the corruption and cronyism that makes life hell here when innocents are gunned down in the street and crimes are covered up.
We now have a group of 25 lawyers across the nation who have been suspended/disbarred for outing corruption, cronyism and a string of judicial criminal activity. We have RICO and the mob now as part of our court system, and the Ill. ARDC just covers it all up.
From Ken Ditkowsky:
I just got about the 3rd or 4th email this week that an article by renown reporter Janet Phelan (who escaped to Mexico to avoid persecution for her work in the US on corruption in the courts), is still, after about two months, going viral on the internet.
If you have not seen this famous article, you can do so now at:
https://www.laprogressive.com/courts-squelch-dissent/
No one can believe that US Bar associations still continue to persecute and prosecute attorneys that speak out against corruption in the courts and spill the beans on what Atty Ken Ditkowsky calls “a string of felonies” covered up by clouted miscreant attorneys, judges and justices in our US court systems.
Previously, I have published much information on how the mob controls the puppet strings of the court system, official court reporters routinely changing transcripts and even the court of appeal in Illinois covers up attorney crimes and elsewhere with numerous states attorneys offices infiltrated by the mob.
I have been the victim of changed transcripts and testimony during my “kangaroo court” at the ARDC. I have published the information and evidence of how my chair, Sang Yul Lee fixed my case. I have sent it to the FBI. I am certain that after enough time and witnesses, they will prosecute him. I am also certain that the person fixing my case at the Review Board level will seek the same fate.
And with respect to Ken Ditkowsky and Lanre Amu, also outspoken for corruption and fixing in the Illinois and Chicago Court system (renown for corruption on just about every valid nationwide survey there is), we now know that the fixer is a certain judge Anna M Loftus that sat on their Review Boards, was then promoted by Ann Burke at the Illinois Supreme Court to Judge in Cook County after she took out both Ditkowsky and Amu, upon information and belief (my belief) by fixing their cases, and now she is a new Cook County Judge with questionable property records. What else is new.
I am certain that the FBI is working on all of this. If anyone knows a cheap or free investigator to pull the bank records of all the miscreant judges, attorneys and others involved, please write me. If anyone is looking to really change this system, the banking records of all attorneys and judges in Illinois should be freely discoverable by anyone alleging corruption. That will fix a whole lot of problems in Illinois.
I operate on a shoe string. I am dedicated to stopping corruption in Chicago and in Illinois. In a land where a good pol and cronies are those that once bribed, stay bribed, I am the most dangerous blogger in Illinois. Every day I get evidence of new corrupt cases, of more information on the miscreants I have listed on this blog as the “usual suspects.” But I am dedicated to you, my public who demands truth, honor, justice and loyalty thereto.
We will not be stopped in all of this. We will prevail. Chicago has to come clean, the legacy of pols before us is not our motto or our desire.
As I write this memo, the strong and unyielding good people of Chicago every day take to the streets and demand that those who suppressed evidence and committed felonies (all the judges and lawyers involved) in the 16 bullet death of Laquon McDonald immediately resign. They shut down streets every day in downtown Chicago, they shut down the Chicago Board of Trade frequently (resulting in losses of millions of dollars per hour), they go to the Chicago Police Department headquarters and shut that down.
This is clearly democracy and protest in action. Support these people. Call write and fax the leaders of these protests (if you must go to work) and tell them that you support them.
Democracy, freedom and protest cannot and should not be stopped. By anyone, even the Mayor, the head of the ARDC (Jerome Larkin who routinely dismissed the complaints of those who complain about suppressing evidence in a court case for 14 months were a child is shot to death maliciously with 16 bullets) and a corrupted police department and “investigative” (cover up) unit.
Demand that these people be tested for psychopathy, narcissism and sociopathy. Demand that these pols and their cronies be removed.
Dr. Hare wrote in his book on psychopathy that there is a high level of psychopathy/narcissism/sociopathy among pols. I bet Chicago runs much higher than any national average. We have to. We are no. 1 in the corruption surveys of all top news mega media and the ivy league law schools.
This must end. Now. Today. Chicagoans protest in the streets and on the internet in the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.
We are the good people. We care about truth and justice and fairness and we want to stop the death of hundreds, if not thousands of seniors who are forced into guardianships in Illinois and across the nation, against their will, drugged with illegal chemical restraints, and then narcotized to death when money runs out for the clouted attorneys and others in guardianship cases.
We will not be stopped. We will not be silenced.
from mainstream mega media:
http://www.ktnv.com/news/contact-13/guardianship-commission-to-ask-for-criminal-investigations
The accompanying text has many quotes that most of us are familiar with:
When it comes to your civil rights, being put under guardianship is worse than being sent to prison. Those words from a judge who sits on the commission.
“Later my aunt was examined by a neurologist who determined she was competent,” Brenda Ralphs told the commission, through tears. “My aunt was victimized based on a defective document and incorrect diagnosis by an unqualified person!”
Brenda Ralphs found our Contact 13 investigation online, then flew in from Seattle to share her aunt’s story with the guardianship commission.
She told commission members she fought to free her 92-year-old aunt, Barbara Lasco, from an unnecessary guardianship, but succeeded only after Parks and her lawyer drained nearly $20,000 from Lasco’s accounts.
The commission also voted to establish a bill of rights for people under guardianship and to ensure they have legal counsel.
One Supreme Court Justice remarked “what has been going on in guardianship is just plain crazy.
The commission unanimously voted to send a letter to all sheriffs and district attorneys in the state, as well as the Attorney General, asking them to prosecute misconduct and seek restitution for people subject to unjust guardianships.
Now for a bit of comic relief.
I have never actually understood anyone who says “take me off your list”. I don’t have an email list. I have a blog. I like my blog. So why do they write me. They have no evidence in fact I have them on an email list.
So for all of you out there today that get these annoying insulting emails like you give a rat’s tail about them, here is your response.
Please feel free to just save, cut and paste:
|
just to let you know you are not on any of my lists.
actually, come to think of it, I don’t even have any email lists. Should I have one so that people will know me and complain? I love these emails. I never, ever have had a single list, and if you’re trying to stop me from being lazy, you have not succeeded with your email. And don’t take it personally, I am sure you are a great person, and very kind and very concerned about public affairs, It’s just me. I am a list slug. Good luck with those that actually care to have a list. I bet they never let you go. I bet they actually have “human list trafficking list” . Okay that was funny. Sorry, I don’t like you enough to have you on my list, which I am too lazy to have in the first place anyway. merry christmas anyway. JoAnne PS–If you ever think of having a list and put me on it, don’t bother. I’ll just make fun of you anyway. |
