THE JUDICIAL VICTIMS IN AMERICA

The homeless have shelters! Where do the estimated millions of victims of the Judicial system turn to? In 1995, author Karen Huffer M.S., M.F.T., warned the nation in her book "Legal Abuse Syndrome" about the victimization going on in the American judicial system and the evolutionary consequences of this abuse. Perhaps it would not be possible to describe the victims of the judicial system better than Karen has done in her book;

* If you are deeply disillusioned and feeling oppressed as an American citizen, resulting from experience with our justice system, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you've been a litigant in court and justice was not to be obtained at any price, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you fantasize about an act of vigilante vengeance because it seems like the only recourse, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you've reported a crime and found that you were punished instead of the criminal, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If creativity and dreams have been left in the past because their development was ripped from you and torn to shreds by your protective systems, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you feel numb, disconnected and vulnerable, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you feel the system will defeat you at every turn and there is nothing you can do about it, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you feel that you have been victimized twice, once by a perpetrator and then by your protective system, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

* If you feel that you are a decent and honorable taxpayer who's been subjected to "cruel and unusual punishment" by lawyers, judges, and officers of the court, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome.

A LOOK AT THE JUDICIAL VICTIMS

Who are the victims of the judicial system? The ludicrous answer is all citizens of the USA, the greatest nation on earth! America has only one judicial system (two with O.J. Simpson). This system has a responsibility akin to sacred trust. This is the system that exclusively presides over and interprets the laws under which we all live. Those laws affect our personal and property rights, our due process, rights afforded us under the U.S. Constitution, our freedoms, and our privileges. The system and it's operators are the trustees of the laws against violent crime, the laws against property crime. They are in control of applying those laws to safeguard the nation's citizens against wrongs. Directly or indirectly each American citizen is affected by the actions or inactions of the judicial system. Today a nation is held hostage because of the actions and inactions of that system.

CRIME VICTIMS BY REPEAT OFFENDERS

Let's take the victims of crime as an example, we are all direct or indirect victims. Statistics reveal over 60% of the violent crimes are committed by repeat offenders. These criminals have passed through the judicial system. Because of the actions or inactions of the judicial system we are held hostage in our own communities and neighborhoods. Look at the faces of the victims. We have documented cases on these victims. The child who fears the walk to school because of child abusers and porno kidnappers. The child who rides her bicycle to the neighborhood grocery store-who disappears and is found in a shallow grave not far away-raped and killed by a repeat offender out on a low bond! Women of all ages held hostage in their own homes by the violent rapists turned loose on society. Women who have become the fatal victim of a sex crime in the parking lot of major grocery store while doing the family shopping. Women traveling alone who have car trouble on our highways and become the subject of a ghoulish sex crime by a repeat offender. Women who have a full day of family activities and schedule the early morning for jogging on a main thoroughfare and fall victim to a murderer (it happened in Albuquerque, New Mexico). Couples who fear the peaceful walk together they once enjoyed in their own neighborhoods. Victims of violent random crime such as the father of basketball star Michael Jordon, who pulled to the side of the road for a quick nap. Slaughter victims of the violent shooters who open up on schools, post offices, restaurants and other institutions in a rage. In one year, if you lived in the Northeast United States, 11,200 of every one million registered automobiles was stolen. With a violent crime in the nation every 22 seconds, and a property crime every 3 seconds, the faces of victims is endless.

SPECIAL VICTIMS OF VIOLENT SPOUSES

For years many custody battles have victimized spouses where a history of abuse was a matter of record. Unbelievably the question of abuse could not be introduced in the custody hearings because that was a different issue. Had the question of spousal abuse been introduced child custody cases would have been decided differently. Thousands of children and abused spouses are the direct victims of this ludicrous judicial ruling.

Today perhaps one of the most pathetic groups of victims are women who are serving life sentences for killing abusive husbands. It is estimated that over four million incidents of domestic violence occur in the United States each year. After killing an abusive spouse, these women can go into court with strangle marks, black eyes, bruises, split lips, broken ribs and internal hemorrhaging and none of this may be used as evidence in the murder trial. Although the "battered women syndrome" is beginning to be admitted in the courts as a legal defense, still dozens of these women in self defense cases are serving out their terms for murder nationwide. These are special victims of the judicial system.

VICTIMS OF POLITICS, PREJUDICE, AND MALFEASANCE

The Judicial system operates in a shroud of secrecy. One of the best kept secrets is the actual number of pro-se litigants who are plaintiffs and defendants in the state and federal courts each year. These are individuals who choose to handle their own litigation personally without the services of a lawyer. This practice of course is highly discouraged by the system who see the pro-se litigant as short-circuiting the process and avoiding the ransom demand by lawyers to access the system. This group of victims could well be the largest group of political prisoners and prejudice victims that come before the courts.

Malfeasance of judges is no small matter and accounts for many victims in the system. Most judges above the magistrate level are there as a result of politics in some form. When politics is the chief selection process, quality and capability goes begging. The judicial selection process then continues to grind out an untold number of victims.

VICTIMS OF THE PERSONAL INJURY ABUSE LITIGATION

The indirect victims of personal injury abuse litigation are our citizens who will be denied new generations of trained, skilled specialists. Thousands avoid fields of need because of the trigger happy mal practice and personal liability lawyers. The direct victims are doctors in practice who are bailing out of the gynecology and child birth related fields like rats off a sinking ship. If the high cost of mal practice insurance doesn't get them, then a mal practice lawsuit will wipe out their practice and often force them into bankruptcy. The direct victims are the industrialists who have been driven into bankruptcy, several firms so far, many of whom merely identified their entity as manufacturing asbestos related products. The direct and indirect victims are the Insurance carriers and insurance consumers who pay upwards to $27 billion per year on bogus personal liability claims. This big tab is simply passed on to insurance consumers who become the victims.

WE ARE ALL ECONOMIC VICTIMS OF THE LITIGATION TAX

Experts estimate the tort tax in the USA has risen to $1200.00 for every man, woman and child. It is passed on to the consumer in the cost of products and services. The direct and indirect cost of litigation has now reached $300 billion dollars annually. Millions of frivolous lawsuits are filed in the courts by lawyers seeking to "extort" a quick settlement. This results in an economic burden to American citizens.

VICTIMS OF THE SOCIAL ENGINEER-BUY/SELL EXPERT WITNESSES

A new defense strategy is beginning to emerge in the American judicial system which is a reflection of the new age social engineers. Such a practice may well become the loudest message yet to criminals in this nation that your criminality is ok, the devil is making you do it! This is a showcase example of a judicial system engaging in decisions based upon "situation ethics" instead of "choice and consequence" based upon law and logic. Watch for a complete new generation of litigants fall victim to this idiocy authored by the lawyer players in the judicial system. Sympathetic social engineers who espouse a theory that people do not act of their own free will. That criminals should not be held accountable for their actions. That we should all tithe a sizeable part of our incomes to underwrite the cost of crime in the USA. The names of the so-called expert witnesses purchased by lawyers to back up this nonsense in the judicial system should be placed in a nationwide databank for instant publication.

Expert Witness Receives $16,000 Per Day: All across the nation highly specialized Psychologists, Doctors, Chemists, Engineers and Economists are being "hired as expert witnesses". Jurors who heard a drug case were paid $30 per day for their service. A doctor in that case who was called as an expert witness received $2300 per day for a total of $16,000 for his testimony.

The Reginald Denny Verdict: This case may stand as a landmark case for the new age social engineers who are busy redefining violent crime (with the help of the lawyers) as something that the devil makes you do in a rage of the moment. The danger here of course is that this verdict will become "case law" and be used in all future violence occurring in riot cases to exonerate hoodlums, murderers, rapists, thieves, etc., who simply got caught up in the excitement of the moment and acted accordingly. Since a riot becomes a protective legal shell, perhaps the criminals will determine that they should start more riots where their activities will be protected by the judicial system.

The Menendez Brothers Trial: With the volume of cases entering the judicial system today on child abuse, sexual abuse and physical abuse, it only stands to reason lawyers will grab onto the abuse theory as a defense mechanism in violent crimes. Once again we can see the handwriting on the wall of the new age social engineers and defense lawyers selling the proposition to the courts, juries and the public media. Since there are some valid claims of self defense arising out of abuse, we must be careful to examine the evidence case by case and not get caught up in the social engineers ploy carte blanche. There are some glaring holes in this case. Claiming that their father was abusive why did they also kill their mother in cold blood? Before their grief had subsided over the self-defense deaths of their parents why did they go on a $700,000 spending spree squandering their parents funds? The defense here also puts on the expert witnesses (purchased) to explain how this was an act out of fear and could be expected as an act of the moment! Perhaps another case where "the devil made them do it."

The Twinkie Murder Defense: Another absurdity by the social engineers and the expert witnesses resulted in a travesty of justice in the first degree murder trial for victims San Franciso Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. This trial became known as the "Twinkie defense". Defense lawyers claimed mitigating circumstances. The sugar in the junk food diet of the shooter (murderer) caused severe depression not making him accountable for his actions. The shooter served 5 years for involuntary manslaughter.

VICTIMS OF THE PROSECUTORIAL LAWYERS

In the writing for this site on "The Political Lawyer Prosecutors", we have detailed incidents of prosecutorial victims of the judicial system. There is a huge victims reputation graveyard in the USA where people have been charged, indicted, tried, acquitted and experienced an economic death from a bad reputation. These victims range from individuals to companies, who in many cases have lost their fortunes fighting cases brought by prosecutorial lawyers where evidence clearly showed the case should have never been brought to the court room. The motives of these lawyer prosecutors who seek name recognition as they move up the ladder to higher political offices is highly suspect. Since these prosecutorial offices are operated at taxpayer expense, there are in addition to direct victims mentioned, the indirect victims of millions of taxpayers.

VICTIMS OF LAWYER MAL PRACTICE, ABUSE AND THEFT

Lawyer theft from clients continues to be the largest single problem among lawyer ranks according to a report by the American Bar Association. These are unsuspecting victims believing since lawyers are "officers of the court" that theft is not a possibility. Millions of dollars in client funds have been stolen by unscrupulous lawyers during the past decade alone.

Perhaps the largest single group of judicial victims come from lawyer mal practice and abuse of process. Our research with state statistics reveal formal complaints are filed annually against 10% to 20% of lawyers licensed to practice in the United States. It is a good guess that because of the difficulty in filing complaints and the negative results by state bars and discipline agencies that twice that number of complaints actually are made but only about 50% ever reach the formal complaint stage. Many of these victims, because of a malpracticing lawyer are tagged with needless default money judgements and forced into bankruptcy to rid themselves of the judgements. Lawyers not meeting deadlines, failure to file motions, failure to attend hearings and professional ineptness appear to be the subject of most complaints resulting in victimization of clients.

VICTIMS OF BAD LAWS

Donald Regan is the face of a victim of bad laws. This 45 year old father of three, married for 20 years, little league baseball coach, chairman of cancer society fund raising drive, holding down two jobs and prior to the evening of August 1, 1989 had no prior arrests. Regan gave a lift to someone from his place of employment who turned out to be a drug peddler. The County Narcotics Task Force on a stakeout surrounded Regans auto arresting both Regan and the passenger. Regans car was confiscated under the "drug forfeiture law" and held for 29 months before he ever had his day in court. After Regan has lost his reputation, paid out thousands of dollars in legal expense and lost his car then the judicial system dropped all criminal and motor vehicle charges. Now the county wants a civil court to review some trumped up charges to allow the county to keep Regans car. Regan claims the County prosecutor's office deceived the court with lies in order to keep his confiscated auto under the drug forfeiture law. Regan says the court should examine the facts in the case to decide who the real criminals really are!

VICTIMS OF THE JUDICIAL COST

All classes of victims of the judicial system should be unacceptable in American society. The clamor for social programs of all descriptions may well be put to shame when compared to the need for legal reform. According to a report by the American Bar Association approximately 70% of lower income Americans can no longer afford the cost of equity and justice. Americans are guaranteed rights, freedoms, privileges, due process and equal protection of the laws under the U.S. Constitution. While health care is important, Americans are not guaranteed health care by the federal government under the constitution. Perhaps it would be well to get our priorities straight as lower income Americans are denied access to the equity and justice system to protect their constitutional rights and guarantees. The number of victims here is inestimatable.

GOVERNMENT OF, BY AND FOR THE LAWYERS?

The following guest column appeared in the July-September 1988 edition of Americans for Legal Reform. The article was written by Louis Rukeyser who writes a syndicated column. The article first appeared in Tribune Media Services.

Have we become a government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers? When this column first posed that question six years ago, I received three big piles of mail:

1. From lawyers, suggesting that anyone who questioned the merits of endless legal fees was probably an anarchist bomb thrower and should immediately be put on trial, lengthily and expensively.

2. From ordinary citizens, woefully agreeing with the column and wondering what, if anything, could be done.

3. From fervent supporters of Ronald Reagan who allowed as how, while I might have been on target about the past, all that was about to change in the new era of free market deregulation.

"Well, tell that to the latest crop of aggrieved, and increasingly pauperized, litigants. Indeed it seems depressingly clear that the nation still faces an array of protracted cases in which the real winner appears to have been not the "public" interest or the "corporate interest-but the "legal" interest".

LOSS OF FREEDOM IS THE ULTIMATE VICTIMIZATION

It is probable that for each innocent victim railroaded into prison by overzealous prosecutors, who finally are fortunate enough to be freed from prison, there are one hundred innocent victims still sitting in prison today wondering where the system failed them. I point this out because the loss of freedom is the ultimate of victimization. In addition there are scores of victims of the judicial system in all walks of life who simply lost their financial freedom or reputation. These victims also wonder where the system failed them.

CASE OF RETARDED MOLESTATION FALLS THROUGH LEGAL CRACKS

A New Mexico district court judge rejected the admission of about 200 photos offering proof of sexual molestation of more than 15 victims in a Belen, New Mexico home for the retarded. The photos supposedly showed the mentally retarded victims and others in the nude. Two men were arrested and charged from the photos showing the men engaged in sexual acts with the retarded. The retarded victims cannot speak for themselves and the photos would have to be the vital evidence needed for prosecution. The trial had to go on without the benefit of the photos. The judge ruled the photos were inadmissible because of a flaw in the warrant which lacked the name of the informant.

Just one more example of aborted justice because of a legal technicality. Sadly, the retarded victims have been twice raped, once by the perverts and then once more by the administration of the judicial system.

Since founding "United Citizens For Legal Reform" in 1993 and gaining nationwide exposure on the Internet our computer databanks are filling up with complaints against unscrouplous lawyers and lawyer-judges. Sure we have an adversarial system and someone has to lose but nobody has to get financially and politically raped by the judicial system under the name of justice. The evidence is blatantly unconstitutional and wilful and the higher you go in the system, the greater the cover-up! One could not study the documented stories of these victims and fail to conclude the American judicial system is a criminal enterprise harboring criminals. Under the federal RICO act, Title 18, the acts committed by these lawyers and lawyer-judges would lead you to believe that law was reserved for them. But we must remember that Dracula is in charge of the Bloodbank.

COLORADO SCHOOL TEACHER VICTIMIZED BY THE LAWYER SYSTEM

Perhaps the saga of a Colorado school teacher maimed for life as she crossed the street tells the story of the American judicial system in it's best light.

This cause arises out of a pedestrian accident while this lady was crossing a public street. She was struck by an oncoming automobile on May 6, 1991 while crossing the street in Denver, Colorado. The victim's head struck the windshield and was thrown seventeen feet landing head first on the sidewalk curb. Taken to the Swedish medical center by helicopter, the victim was diagnosed with open frontal skull fracture, frontal brain contusion with blood clots around the brain stem, multiple air fluid levels in the sinuses, a bruised heart and kidneys, collapsed lungs, right forearm contusion, suspected fracture of the right hand, fractured left humerus, closed fracture of the right tibia and fibula, posterior cruciate ligament tear of the both knees, renal contusion manifest by hematuria, fracture of the left maxiliary antrum and extensive soft tissue injuries making the patient at risk for habdomyolysis according to the examining physician, Dr. Donald Conner. The victim also sustained permanent injury of the third craniel nerve affecting use of her right eye.

The victim has been left with physical, emotional and cognitive problems and panic in unfamiliar situations. A jury found the victim did in fact incur injuries but the defendant's negligence, if any was not a cause of the injuries.

The victim was awarded nothing in the case but instead was assessed a judgement against her for adversarial lawyer fees in the amount of $27,000.00. The trial court judge would not permit the jury to know that insurance companies were involved thereby withholding vital evidence from the jury, presumably under the collateral evidence court rule.

The victim was left with no financial means for a lawyer. Representing herself, she was denied an appeal in the Colorado Supreme court and her appeal to the U.S. Supreme court was denied without a review.

Subsequently, the lawyer who represented her in the court trial demanded payment of an additional $7000. When she refused claiming he malpracticed, he sent her a one line letter which read; YOUR ARE A SCUM! 

This story is documented in the UCLR files or it would be difficult to believe. V.G and S.G. lost their American Inn in Oklahoma by the fraudulent act of a banker-lawyer. Their lucrative lifetime investment and all other assets were lost as they were victimized by the lawyer culture in and out of the American judicial system. It began when a bank fraudulently foreclosed the property even when they knew they had a refinance commitment for the American Inn, in their files from another lender. How could this happen? The bank's chief financial officer was a lawyer with judicial and political connections that stagger the imagination. The political judges in this story were bought and paid for! About six lawyers later and three courts later, these people realized they had been victimized by the perpetrator and then by the dominant lawyer culture in and out of the judicial system. Their own lawyers may just have well been their adversary lawyers. These victims are just one of thousands (who really knows-maybe millions) in America where creativity and dreams have been left in the past because their development was ripped and torn to shreds by our very own protective system. Today in their advanced years, they are still fighting and suffering from a malady experienced by millions of Americans-"Legal Abuse Syndrome".

A NEW CLASS OF VICTIMS, THE NON-LAWYER PRO SE LITIGANTS

Just as surely as the discrimination cases against blacks in America took the spotlight during the past few decades, another group of people have been targeted by the American judicial system in class discrimination with a rash of cases being filed by victims in this group around the nation.

The argument in these cases goes to the heart of class distinction by the American judicial system. The problem stems from the American judicial system creating a political and economic class distinction for non-lawyer pro se litigants and then proceeding under color of law in acts of constitutional abuse and discrimination toward that class as they attempt to handle their own legal affairs and exercise their constitutional right to represent themselves in court.

The equal protection clause of the U.S. constitution means that the rights of all persons must rest upon the same rule under similar circumstances and applies to the exercise of all powers of a state, including the judicial system.

When a non-lawyer pro se litigant enters a court in litigation, that litigant is not given standing or status but is immediately challenged to the same level of rules and standards as a practicing lawyer. This scenario guarantees denial of equal protection of the law and due process abuse for non-lawyer pro se litigants.

This convenient arrangement either forces a litigant to pay a ransom to a lawyer to access the courts (which many cannot afford) or denies equal protection of the law. This is a blatant act of discrimination to hold the non-lawyer to the lawyer rules and standards. The end result gives the judicial system the desired chance to dismiss a non-lawyer pro se litigant on volumes of rules, technicalities and standards before he can actually be heard on merits.

With 70% of low to middle income Americans unable to afford a lawyer, more Americans are turning to self-representation. With lawyer malpractice, theft and fraud, more Americans who have been robbed by the system, are now out of desperation turning to self-representation. The very system who should give these groups standing and status has created a class distinction for them and discrimination is becoming the order of the day.

WHERE LAWYERS ARE FOUND, VICTIMS ARE FOUND

As the national director for United Citizens For Legal Reform, I have interviewed scores of victims of the judicial system, seeing the documented case history, I was haunted repeatedly by the same question. An adversarial system aside-why does there have to be victims of the judicial system? My research has answered that question. It is because of the gross deceptive design of the judicial system. Lawyers in the pursuit of their profession can lie, libel, slander, misrepresent, deceive and defraud all under the name of "attorney privilege" in an adversarial system. Seldom if ever will the presiding lawyer-judges stop the injustice. Lawyers notoriously intend to defame and discredit, casting the witness into the worst possible light. Because of this "fraudulent judicial protection" a rape victim can easily be transformed into a whore for the benefit of the court or jury. Conversely, a murderer or rapist can be dressed in a "band box" suit and be portrayed in an image that would put a Sunday school teacher to shame. Because of the design of the system, deception of court will often rule the case while hard evidence goes begging. What then determines equity or justice? You guessed it! Which litigant has the lawyer with the greatest skill in deception. In one way or the other we are all victims of the American judicial system. Thousands have literally lost everything they have. Hope and faith have become wishful thinking as it pertains to justice in America.
