Episode Summary

Sherry's Personal Experience With Court Reform

Mark and Sherry discussed their plans to create a podcast focused on court reform and family issues. Sherry shared her personal experiences as an advocate for family court victims, including her own legal battles with probate courts.

She described an emotionally charged situation where her stepdaughter fell ill, leading to a lengthy and contentious legal battle over her inheritance and accusations of misconduct against her family.

Sherry recounted how her family, with her husband's involvement, fought against a well-connected legal team and the accusations made against them. The legal team repeatedly served legal papers on her family, even on holidays, as part of their tactics to keep the case going.

Improving Estate Management and Conservatorships

Sherry shared her family's experience with the mismanagement of a loved one's estate and their subsequent legal struggles. She highlighted the need for better safeguards and advocated for a new bill that guarantees the right to an accounting of the estate and access for interested parties.

She also discussed her involvement with the Free Britney movement in California, highlighting the violations committed against Britney and the need for conservators to appoint their own attorneys. Sherry emphasized the importance of due process and the rights of the person of interest, even in probate cases involving minors' trusts. Mark agreed with Sherry's perspective, pointing out the potential for abuse when attorneys are appointed to take over trusts for minors.

Legal Mafia and Systemic Issues

Sherry and Mark discussed the criminal activities of the legal mafia, a highly organized crime syndicate operating under the color of law. They identified a significant issue within the legal system, where state court judges and actors do not always acknowledge federal law, leading to a lack of accountability.

Sherry also shared her family's experiences with the legal system, where her relative, Michelle, has been wrongfully accused and denied visitation, causing emotional distress. Sherry urged individuals not to use the court system to settle personal scores, as the innocent party is often the one who suffers most.

Judicial System Accountability and Impunity

Sherry and Mark discussed the issue of judges and lawyers acting with impunity and violating the rights of others. Sherry expressed her concern about the judicial system's inability to hold judges accountable for their actions, even when they break the law. They both criticized the system for its lack of due process and the complicity of certain individuals in maintaining a problematic situation.

They highlighted the double standard in the legal system where attorneys could lie in court but others had to prove the truth of their statements. They both agreed on the need for significant changes in the system and noted that any false statements made in court were protected activity.

Addressing Judges' Law Violations and Accountability

Sherry and Mark discussed the issue of judges violating the law and the lack of accountability for their actions. Sherry shared her efforts to address this issue, including reaching out to Senator Cavanaugh and working on a petition to choose the attorney for a trial by jury before a guardian or conservator is appointed.

Sherry also highlighted her work on a bill related to disability rights, which faced unexpected opposition from Judge Polks. The discussion also touched on the need for accountability in stakeholder meetings and Sherry proposed a thought experiment to emphasize the importance of accountability and address the growing frustration with judges.

Injustices in the Legal System Discussed

Sherry and Mark discussed the injustices and abuse caused by the legal system, specifically targeting families and children. Sherry shared her personal experiences and highlighted the devastating impact on families, including the loss of loved ones and the destruction of relationships.

Mark expressed his outrage and blamed the press for not exposing these issues more widely. Both were critical of the actions of lawyers and judges who they believed exploit vulnerable individuals for personal gain, and they expressed frustration at the lack of accountability in the system.

Critiquing the Court System and Judges

Sherry and Mark discussed the issues with the current state of the court system, particularly highlighting problems with judges and their decision-making processes. Sherry voiced her frustration about the lack of accountability and the need for impeachment, suggesting that outside investigations should be conducted by those with no connection to the court.

They also discussed the negative impact of court procedures on families and the importance of trying to resolve issues through communication and negotiation before involving the court. Mark agreed that the system is flawed and that judges often make decisions based on gut feelings rather than following the law.

Addressing Judicial Immunity and Accountability

Sherry and Mark discussed the issue of judicial immunity and lack of accountability in the legal system. Mark proposed organizing a charity fundraiser event on September 21, 2024 in Arizona to address this problem. Sherry expressed concern over criminal activities by some lawyers and judges. Both agreed on the need to abolish judicial immunity for greater accountability. Sherry shared her experience with her daughter's former attorney being investigated.

Addressing Unlicensed Psychiatrist Cases

Sherry and Mark discussed a case involving a judge who appointed an unlicensed psychiatrist to evaluate a child, disregarding the child's best interests. They expressed their frustration with the legal system's complicity in such cases and the challenges they faced in trying to expose and address these issues.

They also discussed the need for legislative action to remove judicial immunity and allow victims to seek justice. Mark emphasized that the legal establishment's resistance to change could only be overcome through direct pressure and public exposure.
