#3 Double, Double ,Toil & Trouble

Fire Burns & Cauldron Bubbles 

         On Sept 16th of 2019, my education into how the Family Court of Delaware operates began in earnest. I had a “case review hearing" at 1:30 in the afternoon. (the time becomes important later)

                          

Summer was still in the air. I was Sun kissed from working outdoors  throughout the Summer  at a wonderful resort  ,I felt terrific, I shook off an obnoxious ,dishonest, drama queen about a year prior, & I believed I was about to see the last of her...  I strutted into the halls of reason & justice confident that I would  put this matter to rest in 30 minutes. I held the assumption that surely the good people who staffed the Delaware Family Courts were educated, rational, actors who operated on logic & evidence. I believed I was going to speak to people who valued the basic principles that undergird our justice system. I was positive that these people were driven by a passion for justice. These would be people who dedicated their lives to upholding logical constructs like the “burden of proof”.

    ------------------------------/ /--------------------------

      OK ,now don't get me wrong. I am in no way naive to the vulgar disparities built into America's criminal justice system. In the land of the free , we incarcerate a larger share of the  population than any other country. And the cannon fodder used to fuel this privatized bit of capitalist ingenuity for profit disproportionately comes from minority communities & people  without the resources to pay someone to navigate the twisted system of industry jargon & arbitrary procedure rules that are ever so slightly tethered to reason.

     I'm also well aware that a lot of police conduct themselves in a less than honorable fashion. If you've ever dealt with the police in any negative fashion , you can rest assured your rights were violated . But as I've stated before ,I'm sure the courts do good work when it comes to children & I concede domestic violence is a serious issue & women catch the short end of it by virtue of biology.

         

   --------------------------------//-------------------------------

          So, let the reviews begin. Case reviews are described in state literature as a meeting  of the minds , an arbitration/ mediation, where two people ,guided by a mindful staff ,who totally aren't biased activists ,can work together to solve their disputes & get on with building a kinder , gentler , America ... A place where Hawaii 5-0 can make a come back & Stage 5 clingers don't get away with accusing everyone of being Sid Vicious while actually being Nancy Spungen with a collection of police reports to go along with just about every person that crosses their path.  Delaware's  Family Court is a magical place where people like this can hold court & manipulate an entire staff dedicated to supplying all the attention & accommodation they need to get really creative with their unfounded nonsense ...



        Anyway, my case review consisted of the Deputy AG ,Kathryn Weller  asking me if I wanted to take a plea or go to trial ... That's it ... Seriously , a day off work & an hour & half wait for a question that could that could have been asked & answered with a 1 min phone call ... And that call could be fully automated to boot . In fact, the entire process could be replaced & improved by a robot.  It wouldn't even take a really complicated program. A claim could be analyzed for coherence.
  

      The supporting evidence could be plugged in & weighed against the protestation of that claim & the arguments used in support of the counter claim. 50% of the initial claims would probably never see the light of day. And,  the amount of decisions based solely on activism, discrimination, bigotry, Daddy issues, politics, logical fallacies, PMS ,& personal favors would drop down to zero ...That's a massive savings for taxpayers & justice gains a sounder footing. 

       And there's no argument for the necessity of a human mind to interpret the nuance of statute or procedure from I've seen. After hearings with commissioners like Jennifer Mayo in New Castle County & Sonya Wilson in Sussex County ,it's not so much an interpretation of statute & procedure as it is the ad hoc addition & subtraction of statute & procedure to arrive at their a priori conclusion.  The rules simply don't apply. 

    So, I explain to Mrs/ Ms Welch that I was under the impression that the insane, bogus, charges were being dropped by the insane , bogus ,Our Lady of Perpetual Victims. I was told that she couldn't drop them &  the state would be picking up the charges. To which I asked why would the state choose to persue a losing case with no evidence on behalf of a notorious liar ,prolific accuser, adjudicated abuser , with a collection of police reports coming from every relationship  (from family members to boyfriends) she's been involved in with.  I can't think of an exception.

             In fact , it  wasn't long after a round of ridiculously absurd claims that Our Lady of Perpetual Victims was at it again.  A few days after she was granted a continuance in violation of the courts own rules ,she is arrested for stabbing a guy in the neck with a pen & punching on him as he drove down a Sussex County Rd on Christmas Eve ...

      Rumor has it that this is the pen was given to her by the staff at the Family Court as a sign of solidarity ... Other rumors say she merely stole it from a commissioner she admires with dreams of wielding the same wrath with the same impunity as a kind of fetish or totem... 







        I have to admit , it did give me a little chuckle. I could almost hear some plaintiff ,whiny, country music playing in the background as some poor bastard  is trying to get away from this sagging lunatic by abandoning his car & flagging down other drivers as he ran down the road with an angry  stage 5 clinger leaving a trail of pills & pipes for the cops to follow. 

(more on the abuser profile that confirmed by Xmas Eve attack later )

           Anyway , back to the "case review". It's at this point that I ask DAG Kathryn Wells how I go about gaining discovery.  If we're going forward on a trial , I at least have to know & understand exactly what's being said. But what Wells had to say was a little less than honest . I was told to file a motion with the Attorney General's Office. Not the relevant police station, not, the local Justice Dept, no, make a request to the judge.............

     Or how about answering : "Me !!! "... "Hi, I'm Mrs/ Ms Wells , I am a Deputy Attorney General & you can forward your request to me. And I'll surely comply with the law & make sure you get your tax dollars worth."  She was the person to start with ... She was the one fielding this case , she was the one moving forward with it , & she was the person to see about discovery ...
     
        So, it seems to me something else is in play. What it is ,is hard to put your finger on.

  ..... "Hi, I'm Mrs/ Ms Welch, I am a Deputy Attorney General & you can forward your discovery request to me. And I'll surely comply with the law & make sure you get your tax dollars worth....

           Four days prior ,the plaintiff began harassing me with messages & calls from several platforms in violation of a no contact order. Here's the kicker , in its infinite wisdom, the legislature, while not explicitly stated,  gives a plaintiff the permission to carry out a harassment campaign with complete impunity.

        I didn't bother reading the initial order because I have fairly strong grip of logic. That was a terrible error in critical thinking. I assumed logic guided the law as hoped for by the founding fathers.

    Nevertheless,  here we are. And the here & now is what we have to deal with. I've always found that pining over long dead men & their ideas from another age before plumbing to be useless & whiny. But make no mistake , they did leave behind some protections from the govt that need to exercised or lost. And trust me , we're losing them at an alarming rate.

      Here's the thing , the insane ,scorned, woman , who feels she has a claim on you has a lobby & advocates on the bench in the prosecutors office that they can manipulate with great success.  These people tend to  conflate the "scorned woman"  with actual abused women. (which is a disservice to both).

 So, it stands that answering a text or a phone call can be construed as a crime.( I'll be posting the entire transcript)  Given that someone who actually faced abuse is unlikely to play bait & lure, gotcha, games ,this behaviour should send up red flags for anyone who works around these courts. But seeing these red flags & acting on them are two different propositions.

       Just like being legally guilty & morally guilty are two different propositions. A prosecutor's office & a judiciary that seeks justice first & foremost has to square the moral & the legal in every instance before them or they simply cannot be seen as pursuing justice. Mistakes can be made, judgements of character can be off. But the incident that follows leaves no doubt in the mind of any reasonable person that what I'm facing is a malicious prosecution.

            Two days after the fiasco at the courthouse, she did it again.
Next week ,I'll lay the lie bare. Cpl Sydnor of the New Castle County PD swore to demonstrable falsehoods in order to have me arrested on the whims of a documented ,severely, mentally distressed, with a long history in these matters.

        Some people have hard time believing they pulled this. They have a hard time believing law enforcement would put their credibility & integrity in jeopardy with such a blatant disregard for the facts for what appears to be personal reasons. But, I'll lay it bare in another installment coming soon.
