LA MFT & PROBATE COURT FORENSICS PART I

There has been a series of articles published in the Los Angeles Times News Paper about the problems and efforts to reform the Probate Courts in the state of California in the last four or five years. We see now that the Michael Jackson family is headed for the Probate Court system around the Estate of Michael Jackson.
This is a link to the LA Times articles:

Unfortunately for me, my family has been involved in a Probate case for the last 4.5 years now. This is around my mother's estate, my father died in June 2000. I have experienced the corruption of the Los Angeles Probate Court system first hand and what damage it can do to families. My case under Judge Aviva K. Bobb, has torn my whole immediate family apart! It is now a long story, so I will present some of the most recent events for this article because they are related to some recent events that have gained some exposure in the main stream media.Unlike my families probate case.
Several years ago Judge Bobb appointed two family members as co-conservators of my mother. Ever since then they have been perpetrating all kinds of criminal activities with my mother's estate and committing crimes against other family members. Both of these so-called conservators did not even live in the state of California at the time they were appointed as conservators. One lives in Georgia and the other was living in South Africa at the time he was appointed as conservator.

After I began to expose the crimes that were being committed by these conservators in court, the one that lived in South Africa who is a doctor decided to come back to California to act like he is a conservator of my mother. Back in 2006 he showed up one night at my mother's house and assaulted both of my sons to force them out of my mother's house so he could move into my mother's three bedroom condominium. My mother wanted my sons to live there to help care for her when this conservator doctor goes to South Africa. He has been assaulting other family members ever since then to control my mother and her estate while he has been spending monies wildly from the estate.

Just before that shooting in Inglewood by the Inglewood PD, that has just been swept under the rug by the main stream media. I had gone to the Inglewood Police to follow up on an investigation about an Elder Abuse report that was filed by the LA County Adult Protective Services to a detective Dewakter almost a year ago concerning my mother. When I contacted him I found out that he has not done anything on this investigation yet! When I asked him what country is he from, he then just flat out said he is not going to investigate! I then complained to his supervisor and his supervisor said that he is not going to investigate either! I informed this supervisor that a deputy DA that handles Elder Abuse Crimes, is waiting for them to send him the results of their investigation. This supervisor then said to me "we do not take orders from the DA's office."
Shortly after I heard about the Inglewood "assassination" I got my video camera and came down to the Inglewood PD to make a complaint about these two cops. During the first few days after the shooting nobody came near the Inglewood police station, except me! Here are a few pictures.

Shortly after I took these pictures I was told that the doctor conservator had started a fight with my youngest son and hit him with a pipe. He then called the Inglewood police to try to falsely arrest him at my mother's house so he could move his whole family into my mother's house from South Africa! The Inglewood PD came to my mother's house but did not arrest this conservator.

So this time I appeared before the Inglewood City Counsel to report what I have been experiencing with the Inglewood PD. I complained to the Inglewood Chief of Police and later to the Inglewood City Attorney. After I made these complaints I was told that the Inglewood PD is investigating.


I have been working with another attorney on getting Domestic Violence restraining orders and an Elder Abuse restraining order. On June 26, 2009, the judge in the Inglewood DV court granted temporary restraining orders against the doctor conservator.


I will also file a petition in the Probate court to have both conservators removed with another attorney. As you can imagine, this is going to cost me a lot of money! I have found that most of the Probate attorneys are corrupt as well as the court room personnel in Dept 11 at 111 North Hill Street in Los Angeles, California.

We are scheduled to return to court on September 30, 2009 for the restraining order case in the Inglewood courts. From my conversations with the Inglewood PD detective Hart, who is supposed to be investigating the crimes that have been committed by these so-called conservators, I can see that they have not done any thing yet!

I have begun to organize other victims of the former Probate Judge in the Los Angeles Superior Court Dept. 11 Aviva K. Bobb. From my interviews of these victims it is apparent that Judge Bobb has a consistent pattern of corruption in her court room. Many of these victims are very emotionally traumatized by their experiences in that court room. When I first talked to them they go on and on about all of the criminal acts that were committed by this judge. Several blame Judge Bobb for putting a family member in some kind of Elder care facility that they feel was responsible for their death.

I am setting up a support group for the victims of the Los Angeles County Probate Court. I know as a victim of the LA Probate Court that this type of corruption can cause significant mental distress and be emotionally devastating.

LA MFT ON DEATH IN TWIN TOWERS

This is a video documentation of two rallies for the family of John Thomas Horton III given at Leimert Park in Los Angeles, California and in front of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Hall in downtown Los Angeles, California. As of July 19, 2009 no actions have been taken against the Sheriff’s deputies that are responsible for the death of John Thomas Horton III.

How should an MFT address the bereavement of a family that has had their child killed in Twin Towers Jail and the Sheriff’s deputies just give them bed sheets that have been fashioned into a noose that they said their son hung himself with?

The families that have had their children killed by illegal aliens and by the police is increasing in Los Angeles! Many of these families come to The Urban Policy Roundtable in Leimert Park, Los Angeles and Eddie Jones to find some kind of justice. The network TV stations and their news services have been trying to minimize these incidents.

LA MFT In The Legal Arena "Forensics"

The Curios Case Of Attorney Richard I. Fine

This is a video of Attorney Richard I. Fine that I produced back in February of 2009 for the Cable TV program that I created called "The Justice Channel." The week after I shot this video Attorney Fine was arrested in court. Attorney Richard I. Fine who attempted to disqualify Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Yaffe from presiding over his 2008 contempt trial, was sentenced by Yaffe on March 4, 2009 to what is described as "coercive confinement" for an indefinite period of time, without bail and without a hearing date.

Coercive Confinement & Richard Fine's Contempt Case:

• Richard Fine was held in contempt of court for refusing to answer questions regarding his personal finances. Fine claimed the Judge should be disqualified because the case involved the County of Los Angeles.
  
• Having represented many clients who filed claims against the County of Los Angeles, Richard Fine has repeatedly raised the issue of Judicial corruption since 1999. He maintains that court records from 2005 to 2008 show that all but two cases before L.A. County Judges were decided in favor of the County, a fact that he says is due to illegal judicial payments made by the County.


• A Ventura, California law firm representing the Los Angeles Superior Court and Judge David Yaffe, filed a declaration of attorney Kevin M. McCormick (BENTON, ORR, DUVAL & BUCKINGHAM) on behalf of the L.A. County Superior Court and Judge David Yaffe, representing them in opposition to the release of Richard I Fine from solitary "coercive confinement". Here is a quote from the response.
  
• "The use of coercive confinement resulting from civil contempt has been approved and found appropriate by the United States Supreme Court, federal district and appellate courts and California state courts..." (regarding the right of a civil judgment creditor to pursue and of a trial court to impose for purposes of an individual's compliance with a valid court order.)
  

As we have seen the use of mental and physical "torture" techniques used on the so-called prisoners of war in the Middle East by the U.S. Army or the CIA, and how U.S. officials are trying to justify these actions as what is needed to "protect" the United States. We see a form of mental and emotional "torture" being used to force an American citizen into accepting the blatant corruption of a Superior Court judge against an attorney who is a Federal Prosecutor!

Many of the citizens of Los Angeles County do not know the "horrid" conditions that are maintained in the Twin Towers Correctional facility by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies. This so-called "coercive confinement" is nothing but "intentional infliction of emotional distress." Just being locked up in Twin Towers is distressful enough in those conditions but it is especially distressful when you have been forced to be there falsely!

I have been trying to gain access to Attorney Fine in Twin Towers to shoot an interview with him in the facility. I want to make some assessments as to his present emotional and physical status in the correctional facility. I have been informed that he is still in solitary confinement and is not even allowed to have a pencil. I am sure that these conditions can cause a healthy individual to experience depressive symptoms as well as anxiety and panic states.

Sheriff Lee Baca has stated publicly that a large portion of the Twin Towers population has moderate to severe emotional and mental pathologies that the Sheriff's deputies are not equipped or properly trained to handle. Most Sheriff's deputies will choose to use physical force when presented with behaviors that they do not understand or when they perceive any form of deviance from inmates.

Some Questions

Should individuals with mental disorders be sent out for treatment instead of confinement in Twin Towers?

Should LA County provide funding for private mental health providers to treat these individuals and their families or should the County fund non-profit organizations to provided services on a shoe string budget?

Should LA County employ Psychologists, MFTs and LSCWs to provide services in Twin Towers?

Should LA County employ MFTs as Guard-Therapists in Twin Towers?

Is the use of "coercive confinement" and "intentional infliction of emotional distress" legal and "appropriate" in our judicial system?

Should MFTs be involved in law enforcement efforts towards Judicial Reform?

How do we change a Judicial system that has gone insane?

FIRST LA CAMFT & AAMFT NETWORKING EVENT

The first LA CAMFT & AAMFT Networking meeting held on April 24, 2009 at the Beverly Hills Country club was a blast! The turn out was good! The food was great, the Country Club in Beverly Hills location was great, the Website Marketing for Mental Health Providers presentation was right-on-time and of course the Networking is always good! I was able to take these photos at this event. I believe it will help to show our current members and future members what is really going on with LA CAMFT.

As the Director of Technology I will make sure that LA CAMFT is on the "Cutting Edge" and always "State of The Art!"

This is what this profession is all about!

This is just the beginning for LA CAMFT!!

SHOULD MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATIONS TAKE A POSITION ON Proposition 8?

My opinion is that Mental Health associations should not take a pro or con position on this issue! I believe that our position should be to support the voters decision and provide our support and understanding as mental health professionals, to the general population. Because of the diversity or our professional memberships, we will be able to be supportive and affective with all individuals on either side!!!!!

I agree with the State CAMFT that we should not get "tangled" in political issues. My personal opinion to Proposition 8 is that it keeps church and state separate. This is a Christian Country and Marriage in the Church is a covenant between a man and a woman that is honored by GOD. If homosexuals want to be Married in the church this is an affirmation that they believe in GOD. GOD has clearly indicated in the scriptures that marriage of two same sex individuals is an abomination to him and his judgment will come down on all of us!
