WASHINGTON, March 30, 2011 –
WASHINGTON, March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Witnesses who were to testify at a Small Claims Court appeal trial de novo in Santa Monica Superior Court were shocked and astounded by the Kangaroo Court procedures employed by Judge Lawrence Cho in the attorney fee-dispute claim filed by attorney Donald L. Zachary (vs. AAW)


Judge Disqualified By Court Irregularities?

Witnesses describe how Judge Cho presides over the hearing with "no sworn testimony" and ignores the basic rules of Court as citizens learn about unacceptable court practices. Featured here in this two-part special are four witnesses who describe what happened in Judge Cho's courtroom on January 10, 2011 with commentary from a former U.S. Prosecutor Richard I Fine providing legal analysis of the peculiar proceedings. Those appearing in the video are: Janette Isaacs, John Baron, Gonzalo Larenas, T. J. Johnston, Richard I. Fine, Ph.D and hosted by Leslie Dutton

Overall, he stopped “Twenty-Six Years of California’s Annual Budget Crisis,” and was the first lawyer to “Challenge, In Court, The Unconstitutional Payments Given By Los Angeles County (Supervisors) To The Los Angeles County Superior Court Judges,” over $300 million since the late 1980s.

Over the same period, these “judges decided cases and made orders in favor of the County to the exclusion of the opposing parties in cases before them.” For example, from 2005 – 2007, no one won a case against the county in courts presided over by LA Superior Court judges. Over many years, as a result, Californians were swindled out of hundreds of millions of dollars, and most troubling of all, county judges knew “taking payments from LA County was unconstitutional,” in violation of the Code of Judicial Ethics and Political Reform Act for not disclosing them.

The same practice was common around the state, but not like in LA County, where state legislators exempted judges and county supervisors from prosecution.

For his many years of crime fighting, Fine was charged with “contempt of court” and “moral turpitude,” disbarred by California’s Supreme Court and jailed by Superior Court Judge David Yaffe “in retaliation for bringing the cases and exposing the unconstitutional payments,” ones later held to be unconstitutional.

Rest at link.

Fine is held in solitary confinement under horrendous conditions to punish him – with no fresh air, bright all-night overhead lighting, and no pen and paper to petition a higher court, a right ever serial killers get. Also, reporters (at least until now) were denied permission to interview him. He’s not allowed to post bond or get a hearing, and is ordered to stay in jail until he relents and withdraws his charges.

Seems fair ....stay in jail until you drop the charges............ :baa

As my Momma would say:

YOU DONT GO TO COURT TO GET "JUSTICE"

YOU GO TO COURT TO GET "BUSINESS"

THE ONE WITH THE BIGGER BUSINESS INTEREST IS THE ONE THAT USALLY GETS THE "JUSTICE".

GOT IT???
