LA - Fraud Capital, USA
Does the LA Sup Court per chance have anything to do with it? .
In January 2007, visiting the FBI in Los Angeles, I heard for the first time that LA was Fraud Capital, USA. Later I heard other variations elsewhere - but the fact does have statistical backing – almost every year LA ends up in first or second place in the fraud list of the FBI.
.
- Does the LA County Superior Court have anything to do with it?
I realized, too late, that LA is the capital of fraud in the U.S., that was my first lesson from the FBI in Jan 2007. Well – I thought maybe it had to do with the high number of immigrants like me, may be we bring crime with us… maybe the people create conditions that are not sufficiently prohibitive for fraud, since there is not tradition of generations…etc etc.. But that was shown many times in the past to be falsehood.
.
Maybe the justice system in LA County is not tough enough, many people believe that tougher law enforcement is the right answer to crime. Maybe tougher law enforcement is needed? I don’t think so.
.
Later, in the same month, when I was trying to find a new attorney who would file counter claims for fraud and deceit, and could not find any in this town, I realized that there is something else. Eventually, as I learn a few month later (Att Rothstein and Att Lovett) and much later from the anonymous letter of the criminal defense attorney and from reading the 2006 Rampart report, I realized that Judge Connor, and some other judges, will never rule in favor of a claim of fraud and deceit, and moreover, they would retaliate against an attorney who files such claims.
.
I then thought that I solved the mystery. The court- by being lax on frauds, created conditions that are a permissive for fraud, which tend to increase the number of frauds, most likely indirectly, over time...
.
It took a few more months, and I finally realized that the judges, and Judge Connor most likely is their leader, are racketeering themselves. My current working hypothesis is that the judges of the LA Superior Court created atmosphere that is coercive for fraud. Professionals such as attorneys, realtors, escrow officers know that if they would not cooperate with the fraud, they are likely to suffer retaliation, and eventually join the fraud. It is also easy to see how in litigation like this, a ruling of the judge which would find fault in the conduct of and escrow company, can jeopardize its license. Therefore, if escrow company knows in advance that the court would never rule in favor of the fraud victim, it may feel that it must cooperate, as a defense measure.
.
Case Study #1
Liz Cohen, Escrow Officer, Mara Escrow .
Richard Ormond, Counsel, Buchalter Nemer .
In early December I talked and corresponded with Liz Cohen, Escrow Officer, after I realized that David Pasternak, fraudulently appointed by Judge Segal as "Receiver", initiated on behalf of the court a fraudulent escrow process with her. As a result she apparently refused to cooperate with the court in the fraud. That was at least what Pasternak claimed in court.
.
Therefore, it was necessary for Pasternak and the LA Sup Court to generate on Dec 7, 2007, in a double ex parte proceedings, out of compliance and in violation of the law:
.
a. Gag orders on me to prohibit communication with Escrow and Title companies
b. An indemnity agreement under court blessing, to induce Mara Escrow to engage in the fraud.
.
c. Assortment of abusive financial measures against me, to intimidate, and harass me.
.
Mara Escrow and its legal counsel, apparently did not feel all at ease about such court procedure:
.
To wit -
With support from Judge Lisa Hart-Cole, and in violation of the law, Att for Mara Escrow, Richard Ormond (Buchalter Nemer), appeared in court during the proceedings incognito. Neither he, nor the judge, agreed to reveal either his identity or the identity of his client.
.
Question: Did I file a complaint with the California State Bar Association?
Answer: No, why bother, where the bar stands on the issue you can hear in the NBC video below.
.
Case Study #2
Michael Libow, Real Estate Salesperson, Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills.
On October 18, 19, 20, 2004, my realtor, Michael Libow, from Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills was still acting relatively honestly. He recorded the fact that Samaan engaged in Wire/Fax Fraud against me and against him. Later I found out that she also engaged in Fax/Wire Fraud against Countrywide, a financial institution (in collusion with Countrywide branch manager). On October 18, 19, 20, 2004, Michael Libow also reveal to me and discussed with me the issue of the fax/wire fraud.
.
But by Oct 22, 2004, Michael Libow was already working in collusion with Samaan and her fraud, and invited me to the office of escrow to sign papers there, with Gail Hershowitz.
.
And later on during litigation:
.
Michael Libow would not agree to authenticate or provide any declaration regarding the wire/fax fraud on Oct 18-20, 2004, although his email to that effect was included in his discovery.
.
Michael Libow would not agree to provide any information regarding the origin of document that Samaan presented as the authentic contract faxed from Parks to Countrywide, Monday, Oct 25, 2004.
.
Michael Libow would not agree to provide any information regarding the origin of the document that was found in his discovery and Mara Escrow discovery, at times called “the clean copy”, which is clearly the product of adulteration. When asked about it, Gail Hershowitz claimed it came from Libow.
.
· What happened to Michael Libow between Oct 20 and Oct 22, 2004?
.
· Was he threatened?
.
· Did he suddenly see the light?
LA County Has the Best Court that Money Can Buy..." NBC News, Oct 16, 2008
Our first ever video playing now - on demand...

And the results are in:
.
In no case (without exception) did LA County experience unfavorable results from such litigation.

Growing Bigger...
New site is dedicated legal papers depository
.
Had to be able to distribute fast large quantity of paper to various U.S. Government offices, beyond what I could ever photocopy, mail, etc.
Most of the chapters are already written and posted, but still need some editing, and the references, albeit many posted, are not tied in yet correctly.
But if you have patience, you can read there the hybrid of China Town and Reality TV...everything you wanted to know about the dark side of LA... and more...
Where is it now:
Thanks to the generous help of the Honorable Senator Diane Feinstein and the Honorable Congresswoman Diane Watson, I am in communication through Congress with the Director of the U.S. Department of Justice, Kenneth Melson, and the Assistant Director of the FBI, Kenneth Kaiser.
I am aso trying to get some of the host of public policy issues unearthed here to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees...
But at the end of the day, I am back to a short letter I wrote to the New Republic in 1993 or so... I was clueless but insightful, and the diagnosis is confirmed by the encyclopedia of public corruption you can find on the other site.
Here is the short overview written some 15 years ago:
The New Republic
Tekst 7
.
L.A. story
.
To the editors,
.
I believe that Harold Meyerson missed the point (` Falling Down,' May 3). What is really missing in Los Angeles is not more or less politics. Rather, it is the foundation politics is based upon---a feeling of Social Contract.
.
The reason T.V. stations do not broadcast L.A. political news and events is probably that they discovered a complete lack of interest from their audience. And the reason the audience is not interested in L.A. politics is that the voters have reduced their expectations from the state, the county and the city to a minimum. Meyerson gives the indicators himself: flight from the crumbling public school system, increasing reliance on private policing, walling-in and gating of private communities and dismemberment of the welfare system.
.
Thus, in contrast with other communities in the United States, voters in L.A. do not expect to improve or resurrect these basic functions of government (protection, education, welfare). Instead, in growing numbers they vote for propositions that effectively dismantle the system by eliminating its funding and opt for any possible privately funded substitutes. These feelings were the basis for the tax revolt and Proposition 13, which in itself accelerated the process. These feelings also explain the reason for the expected defeat of the current measure to increase the number of LAPD cops, or the large support for the California school voucher measure, which may deliver the final blow to the public education system. Southern California, with its multicultural and multi-ethnic structure, is not likely to develop a cohesive Social Contract in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it is not likely to be pursuing the Swedish Welfare State model, or anything close. Instead, new democratic models may need to be pursued, models that would delegate maximum tax and government responsibilities to reasonable size communities---still the functioning backbone of this area. Interest in politics will follow.

`The New Republic', May 31, 1993

Q48
.
What do `the indicators' (paragraph 2) point to? A The dwindling interest of the media in L.A. to report on political disputes. B The growing incompetence of the L.A. authorities in dealing with crime. C The shrinking faith of the L.A. population in the public services provided. D The tendency of sections of the community to place themselves outside L.A. law.
.
Q49
.
Which of the following ideas is expressed in paragraph 3? A In L.A. basic social services are being undermined as a result of voters' preferences. B In L.A. social unrest has clearly led to chaotic governmental policies. C The social divide in L.A. has now grown beyond the point of hope for improvement. D Voters in L.A. are only prepared to consider measures which are aimed at the common good.
.
Q50
.
What do Mr Zernik's observations in paragraph 4 amount to? A Decentralisation of power on a local level will set L.A. on the road to recovery. B Problems such as those of L.A. will dissolve if the authorities step up urbanisation. C The Swedish Welfare State model is too complex to be acceptable for southern California.

.
.
UNDERLYING PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES:
.
i. Thousands (?) of innocent citizens are still imprisoned in LA-
after being framed by corrupt police, prosecutors and judges, as documented in the Rampart scandal. But nothing has been done to release these people in the 10 years since then!!!
.
An official police report, BLUE RIBBON REVIEW PANEL: "RAMPART REVISITED", June 2006 discussed in detail how the LAPD the Courts, and the DA undermine any attempt for investigation, albeit, no conspiracy is claimed... Same report describes the justice system in LA as tolerating a "significant subcult of criminality in its ranks"
.
ii Extreme abuse of civil rights in LA County going on for many years is tolerated by the U.S. Government
U.S Judge GARY FEESS serves as OVERSEER to watch that our own local government does not abuse us, as the outcome of the CONSENT DECREE (2:2000cv11769-GAF-RC) entered June 2001, when LA yielded to U.S. Government threat of litigation per 42 USC 14141 (a) Criminal Abuse of Civil Rights under Color of Law... The office of overseer was supposed to be terminated by now, but inadequate performance on the decree made the Judge extend his tenure.Effectively, we, in LA County are not entitled to civil rights that I believe most of the rest of you in the rest of the U.S. takes for granted. I am also concerned that effectively the U.S. control of the situation here was undermined in 2000.
.
iii. Judicial corruption and the need for judicial reform
In this case, a unique set of circumstances allowed to produce direct evidence of wide-spread corruption and racketeering per RICO 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968., which was displayed one way or another in LA Superior Court, California Court of Appeal, U.S. District Court LA and Riverside.
.
iv. Countrywide - beyond financial recklessness- corruption of the courts
In early Jan 2008, Countrywide lost much of its share value, and decided to yield control to BOA, following a report in NYT by Pulitzer prize winner Morgenson that COUNTRYWIDE Counsel admitted in Pennsylvania Court that Countrywide had filed in Court several "RECREATED LETTERS". The whole stock market suffered substantial losses.
.
In March 2008, U.S. Judge JEFF BOHM,TEXAS, issue a 72 page opinion rebuking COUNTRYWIDE for it court room practices.
.
The case at hand involved falsification of banking records, obstruction of audits and regulatory actions, repeat filing of fraudulent declarations, violations of Regulation B of the FRB on a much larger scale. In addition, the case involved intensive harassment/intimidation against me as witness/informer/whistle-blower.
.
Dec 2006 I first heard the name COUNTRYWIDE around when I was reviewing subpoena productions in my counsel's office. I never had any business with them.
.
By Jan 2007 I filed some 100-200 page complaint against Countrywide with FBI LA. The complaint with FBI and subsequent one, also included some very early estimates of losses likely to be incurred by the U.S. Gov in what later came to be widely known as the sub-prime crisis. FBI refused to investigate.
.
By March 2007 I was instructed not to provide any additional records.
.
In March 2007 I also received a direct death threat from a person who described himself as ensuring that a witness, senior underwriter, laid off two years earlier, not talk with me. She later disappeared from her home, and we could not serve subpoena.
.
In May 2008 FBI demanded that I provide a full and complete list of my "sources". In fact, the analysis was mostly based on computer printouts that I received as part of subpoena.
.
v. Racketeering at the LASC is based on operation of the Case Management System SUSTAIN installed around 1985.
I have been in contact with the House and Senate Judiciary committees, and submitted a one page proposal for enforcement of the Rule Making Enabling Act 28 U.S.C. 2071 - 2077 on computers of the courts throughout the U.S.
.
In California alone we have more than 70 systems of this kind, built by the various courts with no public oversight. In LA I have massive body of evidence for racketeering though that system.
.
vi. The practice of Law in Los Angeles, California
The case presents an abysmal picture of the legal profession in this major metropolitan area. Attorneys allowed the LASC to engage in such abuses for some 25 years, without any discernable protest.
.
vii. Media would not report any of the problem with the judiciary
LA Times had an acclaimed series on corruption of the judiciary in Nevada. When I offered same editor/same writers, my full material on LA, they refused to even look at it. Harassment and debarring of an attorney activist RICHARD FINE is unreported news. He filed complaint of state judges taking bribes.
.
E. SUMMARY:
I hope you find the following of interest. I have no legal education, but I did have some unusual computer background, and managed to crack what I claim is a racketeering enterprise at the LA SUPERIOR COURT, centering on its fraudulent case management system, SUSTAIN. I claim to be the victim of real estate fraud by Judge JACQUELINE CONNOR best known for derailing the RAMPART trial in 2000, and her close relationship with the corrupt RAMPART police.
.
In this case she was colluding in racketeering with COUNTRYWIDE and some WHITE COLLAR CAREER CRIMINALS. SANDOR SAMUELS, Chief Legal Counsel, and ANGELO MOZILO were personally notified in early 2007 of real estate fraud where COUNTRYWIDE's LEGAL DEPARTMENT was one of the major engineers of frauds. They both refused to stop the fraud, but COUNTRYWIDE initiated a campaign of harassment, intimidation, against me.
.
I was subjected to extreme abuses such as ex parte hearing , off the record, off the calendar for a gag order at COUNTRYWIDE's request (July 6, 2007).
.
I have been in contact with the HOUSE and SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SENIOR STAFF for a few months, eventually my demand for response from FBI (why they never investigated my complaints, first of which was filed Jan 2007) and U.S. DOJ (request to appoint SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE EXTREME CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN LA COUNTY COURTS) won support by Senator DIANE FEINSTEIN and Congresswoman DIANE WATSON. Through them I got eventually response from FBI assistant director KENNETH KAISER, and U.S. DOJ Director KENNETH MELSON. I am in discussions with Southern California ACLU, with veteran Civil Rights activist WILLIAM EPPS, with some Hollywood personas, in attempt to get media attention to the underlying subjects this October.
.
F. BACKGROUND:
.
I am engaged in various legal procedures resulting from what I claims is taking of my home for private use by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Case originally presided over by Jacqueline Connor, best known for derailing the Rampart Trial in 2000, and with it any investigation into the matter.
,
G. I MADE CLAIMS:
.
a) My home was subject to fraudulent conveyance of title by the court - confirmed by decorated FBI veteran JAMES WEDICK.
.
b) COUNTRYWIDE produced false and deliberately misleading records to support fraudulent claims against me - confirmed by nationally renowned fraud expert ROBERT (BOB) MEISTER..
.
c) The case SAMAAN V ZERNIK, was never a True Court case, instead, it was part of the "ENTERPRISE TRACK" of the LA Superior Court, specializing in real estate frauds.
.
d) The LA Superior Court is involved in wide-scope, long-term massive abuse of the 9.5 millions it serves, through denial of public access to court records, e.g. Even today I am denied access to major parts of my trial court litigation records, in defiance of NIXON V. WARNER COMMUNICATIONS, INC., 435 U.S. 589 (1978), where the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed "the common-law right of access to judicial records" otherwise referred to as "the common-law right to inspect and copy judicial records"..
.
e) The Superior Court is involved in racketeering for at least 25 years, and the highlight of it is that the court denies public access to the Book of Judgments. In my case, the court claims to have entered a judgment for Specific Performance on Aug 9, 2007, but all the evidence indicates that it never happened. And when I ask to inspect and to copy - access it denied, when I ask to certify either entry of judgment, alternatively - non-entry of judgment - the Presiding Judge Office denied me that right as well. But my home was taken in Dec 2007, under threat of force, and I never saw a penny.
.
f) I made claims that the Court's case management system, Sustain, installed around 1985, is the enabling tool of the racket.
.
g) I filed a request for investigation with FBI first in Jan 2007, FBI refuses to investigate.'
.
h) Police, DA, California AG, all refuse to investigate, since it is obvious that the findings will be of racketeering by the judges of LA.
.
i) I filed a request for Special Counsel with the U.S. DOJ some months ago. They did not respond.
.
j) I managed to get Senator Feinstein and congresswoman Diane Watson to obtain responses to my letters to DOJ and FBI DC.
.
k) I am going to release a response in the next few days, and ask that the two campaigns comment on it, trying to make the above listed public policy issues October subjects for debate on the campaign trail:

v. Racketeering at the LASC is based on operation of the Case Management System SUSTAIN installed around 1985.
I have been in contact with the House and Senate Judiciary committees, and submitted a one page proposal for enforcement of the Rule Making Enabling Act 28 U.S.C. 2071 - 2077 on computers of the courts throughout the U.S.
.
In California alone we have more than 70 systems of this kind, built by the various courts with no public oversight. In LA I have massive body of evidence for racketeering though that system.
.
vi. The practice of Law in Los Angeles, California
The case presents an abysmal picture of the legal profession in this major metropolitan area. Attorneys allowed the LASC to engage in such abuses for some 25 years, without any discernable protest.
.
vii. Media would not report any of the problem with the judiciary
LA Times had an acclaimed series on corruption of the judiciary in Nevada. When I offered same editor/same writers, my full material on LA, they refused to even look at it. Harassment and debarring of an attorney activist RICHARD FINE is unreported news. He filed complaint of state judges taking bribes.
.
E. SUMMARY:
I hope you find the following of interest. I have no legal education, but I did have some unusual computer background, and managed to crack what I claim is a racketeering enterprise at the LA SUPERIOR COURT, centering on its fraudulent case management system, SUSTAIN. I claim to be the victim of real estate fraud by Judge JACQUELINE CONNOR best known for derailing the RAMPART trial in 2000, and her close relationship with the corrupt RAMPART police.
.
In this case she was colluding in racketeering with COUNTRYWIDE and some WHITE COLLAR CAREER CRIMINALS. SANDOR SAMUELS, Chief Legal Counsel, and ANGELO MOZILO were personally notified in early 2007 of real estate fraud where COUNTRYWIDE's LEGAL DEPARTMENT was one of the major engineers of frauds. They both refused to stop the fraud, but COUNTRYWIDE initiated a campaign of harassment, intimidation, against me.
.
I was subjected to extreme abuses such as ex parte hearing , off the record, off the calendar for a gag order at COUNTRYWIDE's request (July 6, 2007).
.
I have been in contact with the HOUSE and SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SENIOR STAFF for a few months, eventually my demand for response from FBI (why they never investigated my complaints, first of which was filed Jan 2007) and U.S. DOJ (request to appoint SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE EXTREME CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN LA COUNTY COURTS) won support by Senator DIANE FEINSTEIN and Congresswoman DIANE WATSON. Through them I got eventually response from FBI assistant director KENNETH KAISER, and U.S. DOJ Director KENNETH MELSON. I am in discussions with Southern California ACLU, with veteran Civil Rights activist WILLIAM EPPS, with some Hollywood personas, in attempt to get media attention to the underlying subjects this October.
.
F. BACKGROUND:
.
I am engaged in various legal procedures resulting from what I claims is taking of my home for private use by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Case originally presided over by Jacqueline Connor, best known for derailing the Rampart Trial in 2000, and with it any investigation into the matter.
,
G. I MADE CLAIMS:
.
a) My home was subject to fraudulent conveyance of title by the court - confirmed by decorated FBI veteran JAMES WEDICK.
.
b) COUNTRYWIDE produced false and deliberately misleading records to support fraudulent claims against me - confirmed by nationally renowned fraud expert ROBERT (BOB) MEISTER..
.
c) The case SAMAAN V ZERNIK, was never a True Court case, instead, it was part of the "ENTERPRISE TRACK" of the LA Superior Court, specializing in real estate frauds.
.
d) The LA Superior Court is involved in wide-scope, long-term massive abuse of the 9.5 millions it serves, through denial of public access to court records, e.g. Even today I am denied access to major parts of my trial court litigation records, in defiance of NIXON V. WARNER COMMUNICATIONS, INC., 435 U.S. 589 (1978), where the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed "the common-law right of access to judicial records" otherwise referred to as "the common-law right to inspect and copy judicial records"..
.
e) The Superior Court is involved in racketeering for at least 25 years, and the highlight of it is that the court denies public access to the Book of Judgments. In my case, the court claims to have entered a judgment for Specific Performance on Aug 9, 2007, but all the evidence indicates that it never happened. And when I ask to inspect and to copy - access it denied, when I ask to certify either entry of judgment, alternatively - non-entry of judgment - the Presiding Judge Office denied me that right as well. But my home was taken in Dec 2007, under threat of force, and I never saw a penny.
.
f) I made claims that the Court's case management system, Sustain, installed around 1985, is the enabling tool of the racket.
.
g) I filed a request for investigation with FBI first in Jan 2007, FBI refuses to investigate.'
.
h) Police, DA, California AG, all refuse to investigate, since it is obvious that the findings will be of racketeering by the judges of LA.
.
i) I filed a request for Special Counsel with the U.S. DOJ some months ago. They did not respond.
.
j) I managed to get Senator Feinstein and congresswoman Diane Watson to obtain responses to my letters to DOJ and FBI DC.
.
k) I am going to release a response in the next few days, and ask that the two campaigns comment on it, trying to make the above listed public policy issues October subjects for debate on the campaign trail:

.About Me <http://inproperinla.blogspot.com/>
.
This blog was written by Joseph Zernik, DMD, PhD. Dr Zernik was until recently involved in litigation in the following courts and actions:
1) LA Superior Court: Samaan v Zernik (SC087400)
Defendant and Cross Complainant in pro per
2) California Court of Appeal, 2nd District: Zernik v LA Superior Court (B203063)
Appellant in pro per
3) U.S. District Court, LA: Zernik v Connor et al (2:2008cv01550)
Plaintiff in pro per
4) U.S. Court of Appeal, 9th Circuit (08-72714)
Petitioner in pro per
.
More recently, Dr Zernik refused to participate in proceedings in the LA SUPERIOR COURT, CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL, 2nd DISTRICT, and U.S. DISTRICT COURT, LOS ANGELES & RIVERSIDE, holding that in all three cases the courts were engaged in sham proceedings.
.
Dr. Zernik was born in Jerusalem, Israel, and grew up in a typical Israeli Jewish family with a father of European (German) background, and a mother of Middle Eastern (Palestinian) background.
.
As a teenager Dr Zernik was referred to computer science classes in the Technion, the premier technical college of Israel. Although all his experiences at that time were built around punch cards and mainframe computers, as it turned out, they produced a solid foundation in the field.
.
Dr Zernik served in the Israeli military for 3 years (1973-76) as part of the standard compulsory draft, in an airborne unit.
.
From 1976-1979 Dr Zernik studied in Medical School of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
.
From 1980-1983 Dr Zernik completed his degree in Dental Medicine at the University of Tel Aviv.
.
In 1982 Dr Zernik won a summer research scholarship from the Weitzmann Institute
.
In 1983 Dr Zernik moved to the US, as a graduate student at the University of Connecticut on a scholarship and a stipend. He graduated from a PhD program and specialty training in orthodontics in 1988, and then stayed on as faculty member till 1991.
.
In 1991 he was recruited by USC, where he stayed till 2002, and at the conclusion of a sabbatical at UCLA he moved to full-time private practice.
.
Along the years Dr Zernik won numerous grants and research awards from the National Institutes of Health and the Dept of Veteran Affairs. He also served as consultant for both departments. Zernik also served on the editorial boards or as reviewer for a number of scientific and scholarly journal.
.
In 1993, barely a couple of years in LA, Zernik published a short communication in the New Republic, suggesting that the problem underlying LA political system, at least in part, stemmed from the lack of Social Contract between Government and the Governed.
.
In the late 1990’s Zernik founded at USC an internet Free Speech Forum, attempting to capture some of the traditional special status of Academic Grounds on the Internet.
.
In 2000 Zernik and Prof Moshe Lazar co-edited Hebron Stories, by Yitzhaq Shami (1888-1949) – a collection of early Modern middle eastern short stories. The volume, with introduction by Prof Arnold J Band, won excellent review in the Los Angeles Times, and also in several Moslem and Arabic literary magazines.
.
By 2004, the Palestinian Academic Society recognized the work of Shami as one of the important Palestinian literary works of the 20th century. With that, Shami won a unique and unparalleled place, recognized as part of the shared modern literary heritage of both Israel and Palestine. With that, Dr Zernik was also invited and visited the Palestinian Authority in 2004.
.
In 2006, the same volume, edited by Dr Zernik, was published by Labor et Fides, the official press of the Calvinist Church in Geneva , Switzerland. It includes a short epilogue by Dr Zernik, on the role of revelation in the Abrahamic religions.
.
In collaboration with Italian colleague Fabrizio Lelli, Dr Zernik initiated another book project, incomplete, involving the history of the minute Jewish community in Toscana during the Italian Renaissance, and its unusual contribution, e.g., the Pico dela Mirandola, author of the "Oration on the Dignity of Man". For this project, the Vatican, in response to request by U.S. Ambassador the Honorable Lindy Boggs, issued special permission to open archives for research.
.
Earlier this year, 2008, Dr Zernik submitted a one page Concern/Proposal to the staff of the Judiciary Committees of the House and Senate, presenting his view that case management systems in the court are prone to abuse, and that the legal framework in fact exists for their regulation, under the Rule Making Enabling Act 28 U.S.C. §§ 2071 – 2077. With it he described in general terms the necessary regulatory actions.
.
SAMAAN V ZERNIK (SC087400)
.
This litigation at the LA Superior Court brought Zernik face to face with a situation that he had never anticipated encountering, and which he had no qualifications to deal with. Yet he felt that he should not fold and yield in the face of brute aggression by the racketeering LA Superior Court and its judges. Instead, one of his primary goal was to record the legal transactions, which ended up with fraudulent conveyance of title on his Beverly Hills Residence by the LA Superior Court, as confirmed by fraud expert James Wedick, commended for his investigative efforts by the U.S. Congress, by FBI director, and by U.S. Attorney General.
.
His secondary goal was to research the roots of such aberrant court conditions. In the process, Dr Zernik discovered that the court was operating for some 25 years a case management program, Sustain, which routinely produced fraudulent trial court litigation records. Moreover, the system is used by both the LA Superior Court and the California Court of Appeal, 2nd District (with no notice and service to parties in appeals and petitions) as the electronic court file, and effectively the governing system in the court today (vs the paper court file). And yet, the LA Superior Court routinely denies public access to the system to inspect and to copy, under the unpublished rule of court: “Sustain is privileged – for the court only.”
.
Zernik further discovered that the Local Rules of Court, in critical sections, e.g., entry of judgment, have never been updated in the last 25 years, while the court eliminated all the paper Books of Court at that time, in parallel to the installation of Sustain, where presumably electronic equivalents were implemented. Such books include the primary Public Records that for many generations proved effective in the safeguard of court integrity: Index of All Cases, Calendars of the Courts, Registers of Actions, and Book of Judgments. All such records are off limits to the public in LA County in the last 25 years. Zernik believes that such conditions were critical in allowing the growth of the enterprise at the court.
.
In Samaan v Zernik, the court is denying Zernik the right to access, to inspect and to copy the Book of Judgments. Zernik was also denied the right, provided in the Local Rules of Court, to have the entry of judgment certified, alternatively – to have the non-entry of judgment certified. Zernik holds that the preponderance of evidence he gathered demonstrates that the court racketeers in real properties, in part through fraudulently failing to enter judgment, while attempting to execute such judgments, which per Cal Code of Civ Proc are “not effectual for any purpose”.
.
With elimination of the Books of Court as Public Records, and routine denial of notice of service, the LA Courts established conditions that are not far removed from those which prevailed in late medieval times. And with that – the court racketeers using fraud of the very same period. In Samaan v Zernik the court engaged for example in Judgment Fraud, and Statute of Frauds fraud.
The role, or inaction, of the legal community in the past quarter century, when conditions such as those described here were developing, is incomprehensible. Likewise, it is beyond comprehension how among a quarter century of judges and justices in LA Superior Court and the California Court of Appeal, 2nd District, all sworn by the California Oath of Office, to uphold the U.S. Constitution, there was no known case of a judge who acted pursuant to the canons of the California Code of Judicial Ethics (or parallel U.S. Code):
“ Judge shall be faithful to the law…”
Cal Code Jud Ethics 3B(2)
.
"(1) Whenever a judge has reliable information that another judge has violated any provision of the Code of Judicial Ethics, the judge shall take or initiate appropriate corrective action, which may include reporting the violation to the appropriate authority."
Cal Code Jud Ethics 3D(1)
.
Dr Zernik requests for investigation by various local, state and U.S. law enforcement were all denied. Letters to the Washington DC head-quarters of the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, requesting appointment of a Special Counsel remained unanswered. Fortunately, the Honorable Senator Diane Feinstein and the Honorable Congresswoman Diane Watson provided assistance by issuing inquiries to the agencies. The two agencies eventually issued responses, and Dr Zernik is now completing his reply.
.
Dr Zernik holds that the most plausible explanation for the complete body of data he gathered, is that Samaan v Zernik never was part of the “True Court Track” at the LA Superior Court. Instead, it was assigned, even before the complaint was filed, to the “Enterprise Track”. As such, Dr Zernik believes that the case was never indexed and never calendared, and therefore, the courts hide those basic public records. Similarly, for that reason, the judgment, rendered by Judge Jacqueline Connor (best known for derailing the First Rampart Trial in 2000) could not be entered.
.
In general, Zernik holds that overall conditions in LA County relative to entry of judgment are in violation of the law and in particular – protections guaranteed in the Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
.
Dr Zernik felt that serendipity resulted in an unusual set of players, that was possibly destined to effect a change. Dr Zernik hopes that his efforts are not in vain, and that the 9.5 millions in LA County will eventually benefit from his struggle by gaining basic civil rights that he hopes and believes are taken for granted in other parts of the U.S., e.g. the First Amendment/Common Law right to access, to inspect and to copy judicial records, as affirmed in Nixon v Warner Communications. Inc.
.
Dr Zernik holds that the situation he uncovered in the Civil Courts of LA Superior Court is the mirror image of the conditions in the Criminal Courts, first uncovered in the Rampart scandal (1998). The latest report of the Blue Ribbon Review Panel describes a justice system that tolerates a “significant subcult of criminality in its ranks”. It also shows that while there is practically wall to wall agreement that many are imprisoned for long terms in LA after being framed by the police, prosecutors and the courts, the number of such wrongfully imprisoned is unknown (probably in the thousands), and nothing is done to correct the wrong.
.
Although he has not engaged in research of the systems of the criminal courts, Dr Zernik believes that denial of access to indices and calendars is the root cause that did not allow any of the investigative committees in the last 10 years to make any progress.
.
Based on such experiences Dr Zernik proposed to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees that urgent need exists to provide public oversight of the Courts’ case management systems, that the legal framework for such oversight is already in place, under Rule Making Enabling Act 28 U.S.C. §§ 2071 – 2077, but some regulatory action may be required.
.
Dr Zernik is attempting to bring such issues for debate this October of 2008 as part of the election campaign.

The Search for Real Reform Seven Years Later....

Q: IS IT FOR REAL?
A: NOT! DAH!
.
._________
.
Q: ARE YOU TOO BUSY TO READ THE REPORTS?
A: OUR 30 SEC DIGEST FOR THOSE TOO LAZY TO READ THE REPORTS:
."Unanimously, criminal defense attorneys and civil plaintiffs' attorneys believe ... innocent people remain in prison. " p60
Los Angeles Superior Court must be“examine[d for] its role in accepting pleas from innocent defendants and failing to detect police perjury or the conviction of the innocent.” p58
.
"...law enforcement, prosecutors and judges - inexorably chose containment. It is not that individuals or entities conspired to cover up corruption; it is that when a window on its true extent opened, they simply closed it." p48
._________
.
Q: WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
A: HERE WE GO!
.
A. SUBJECT MATTER - INNOCENT CITIZENS, STILL IMPRISONED IN LA.
Plainly speaking, it is a certainty that there are some innocent citizens, by now imprisoned well over 10 years as a result of routine false evidence produced in court by the police. The subject matter is this unknown number of innocent citizens that remain locked up ten years after the investigations were initiated, as a result of the fact that the investigations were never completed.
B. THE ENIGMA - HOW MANY SUCH CITIZENS ARE STILL IMPRISONED
A basic concern of the Blue Ribbon Panel was that after multiple investigative committees over 7 years, and numerous reports, and many millions of dollars spent, nobody knows the extent of the problem.
._________
.
Q: WHAT IS INPROPERINLA’S TAKE ON THE SITUATION?
A: WE GOT TO DO IT, BUT WE GOT TO DO IT SMART!
C. THE ANSWER - THE NUMBER WILL DEPEND ON THE METHOD AND STRINGENCY OF INVESTIGATION, AND ACCORDINGLY RANGE BETWEEN 100 AND 10,000.
Let me take the plunge and guess, with no committee appointment and no budget appropriation --
The number will entirely depends on the methods of investigation and stringency of criteria used to evaluate records of past litigations:
1) If the investigation would proceed along the lines of previous investigation, using traditional methods, and starting from cases where there is at present a specific allegation on record of false evidence by police, seeking to confirm such false evidence, then the number of innocent citizens found imprisoned would be between 100 and 1000. The primary reason would be that again, the investigation would never be completed.
2) However, if the investigations take innovative approaches, specially constructed for dealing with such large scandal, and supported by highly skilled statistical computerized modeling, then the number of innocent citizens found imprisoned would be between 1,000 and 10,000.
D. RECOMMENDATION - SMART COMBINATION STRATEGY FOR ACCURATE, DEFINITIVE, FAST, CHEAP RESULTS, HEAVILY RELYING UPON COMPUTERIZED DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICAL APPROACHES.
1) Full authority must be vested with a U.S. Special Counsel, leading the investigation, and explicitly charged to investigate the integrity of the justice system in LA, including police, prosecutors, and courts, both criminal and civil.
2) Such Special Counsel must immediately secure access to all computer systems of police, prosecutors, and the courts.
3) All existing evidence must be first compiled and indexed, and in parallel - existing indexing files, which were previously denied to investigators must be discovered.
4) Phase I investigations should proceed in full speed in cases where there is already reliable evidence of false prosecution, based on previous investigations that were never concluded.
5) Phase II investigations must be initiated in parallel, based on analysis of the whole body of existing data, statistical modeling, and attempts to derive patterns that would allow expediting of the investigation, and reducing its cost, based on heuristic models combined with continued random sampling.
Such combined approach should allow exhaustion of the investigation within reasonable time and budgets.
E.g.:
a. If Officer A appeared in the Courtroom of Judge X, then it is highly likely that conviction be found false upon review .
b. If Officer A and Officer B appeared in the Courtroom of Judge X, then it is extremely likely that conviction be found false upon review . .
c. If Officer A and Officer B, under the guidance of Prosecutor Y, appeared in the Courtroom of Judge X it is practically a certainty that conviction be found false upon review.
6) Phase III investigation must be instituted in parallel to Phase I and Phase II. Phase III will constitute of statistical computerized monitoring of results as they are accumulated, and statistical models should be constructed in advance in consultation with law enforcement and judicial authorities:
When a certain threshold be reached for any given police, prosecutor, or judge, that would be deemed substantially different than peers, and also be deemed conclusive evidence of a pattern of repeat, routine obstruction of justice, all conviction achieved through the involvement of such individual be overturned first, and such cases be screened in reverse - for those that require repeat prosecution, rather than the opposite.
7) Phase IV - Similarly, separate investigation be instituted in parallel to Phase I, II, III, and proceed based on statistical analysis of results as they are accumulated. The goal of Phase IV would be to predict the length of time and cost of the investigation, propose ways to saturate and exhaust the investigation at fastest cheapest way, and adjust such predictions as results are accumulated.
._________
.
Q: WHAT ABOUT THE UNSPOKEN QUESTION?
A: YOU MEAN FALSE DEATH SENTENCES?
Obviously that is part of the problem. Those who favor death penalty would like never to think about this issue – false convictions and false death sentences, and those who oppose death penalty cannot stop thinking about the prospect.
According to newspaper reports Judge Jacqueline Connor issued in recent years at least one death sentence. Given that she was particularly fond of the Rampart officers and even gave Officer Perez in 1998 a recommendation letter based on his performance in her courtroom (later recanted as false), one can only hope that death row does not move too fast.
._________
.
Q: NEED MORE INFO?
A: NO PROBLEM – HERE IT IS…
Reading the latest report, published in 2006 by the "Blue Ribbon Panel", appointed by LAPD to investigate LAPD's failure to produce previous reports regarding the scope of the Rampart scandal, and the degree to which the LAPD addressed the deficiencies revealed in that scandal, reveals the following pattern: One committee after the other is appointed by police to investigate itself, in an effort to establish why the previous committees failed, and invariably such committees are denied access to the relevant data, especially any indexing data that would allow an overview of the scope, or extent of the problems as a whole, and the degree to which such problems were at all addressed. . The latest report candidly admits that most inside the police believe that the scandal was far from being addressed, and that many innocent citizens are likely to remain incarcerated, 10 years after the beginning of investigations.
._________
.
Q: ARE FAQ’s YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO DIGEST NEW MATERIALS?
A: NO PROBLEM – HERE IT IS…
.
• What is the true reason why the investigations are never completed? As the Blue Ribbon Panel puts it - true investigation could have resulted in catastrophic failure of the justice system in LA... the risk is too high...
.
• How did the investigations fail in reality?
The courts, police and prosecutors failed to allow investigators full unlimited access to computerized data, and with that brought the investigations to a halt.
.
• What is the Blue Ribbon Panel recommendation? Yet another investigative committee, but here they depart somewhat from the official line, and state that it must be an external investigation... . • What was done since then? Nothing that we know of... . • What have we been asking the U.S. Department of Justice for months? U.S. Special Counsel investigation, which is exactly the mechanism provided by law for situations such as described by the Blue Ribbon Panel - "an external investigation", where local conflicts prevent true investigation of material deficiencies in the law enforcement and justice systems.
.
• What response have we been given so far? No response at all...
.
• Why is a Special Counsel the way to go?
A special Counsel is quintessential, since it is the only authority that could force the LA Superior Court, prosecutors, and the LAPD to open up their computer systems and provide the indexing data that is required in order to first assess the scope of the problem, and then estimate what is required for completing such investigation, then master the required resources, conduct the investigation and provide credible reports.
.
The alternatives have been tried and failed too many times in the past 10 years. .
The citizens of LA owe it to their peers, who are incarcerated but innocent, to complete this investigation.

.
p2:
"The real story about Rampart is that no one really knows. I know people still on this job that were part of this crew. The investigations were botched so early on, and the guys on Perez's crew sat down. But at least one or two are still working. The investigations were botched so badly by IA .. Now [PSB] wouldn't botch [the investigations like that].... They wouldn't tell Perez' sergeant that they're following him..." .
.
p47:
Los Angeles Institutions Failed to Respond Adequately to the CRASH Crisis
The facts that best support this conclusion arc that a federal court had to take over Los Angeles police reform and that no public entity conducted an independent investigation with the capacity, authority and resources to properly investigate the extent of the alleged corruption or its causes. In addition, after numerous scandal related criminal trials and pleas, multiple LAPD investigations and over 80 internal Boards of Rights, four major reports and a failedcivil grand jury inquiry, the following basic facts about the Rampart CRASH corruption remain unknown or disputed:
• Whether the scandal was about two officers guilty of isolated criminal misconduct or about policing systems that tolerated routine abuse and criminality by a significant subcult in its ranks.
• How many officers committed crimes or serious misconduct.? The scope of misconduct at issue (ranging from unjustified shootings, framings and beatings to falsifying arrest reports and fabricating probable cause).
• How many officers committed crimes or serious misconduct.
• The scope of misconduct at issue (ranging from unjustified shootings, framings and beatings to falsifying arrest reports and fabricating probable cause).
• The extent of Rampart CRASH-like misconduct in the CRASH units of other divisions, other specialized units and LAPD policing generally.
• The extent of corrupt acts, if any, by Rampart CRASH alumni who graduated into Metro, Internal Affairs and other coveted and specialized units.
• Why CRASH supervisors and others in LAPD silenced whistleblowers who tried to warn about CRASH insubordination and misconduct.
• How many of Perez' specific allegations were fully investigated and verified.
•sd Why the DA's declination memos explaining the reasons for not charging Rampart related cases submitted by LAPD did not address a number of cases of alleged misconduct, including several allegedly unjustified shootings.
• How many officers were administratively investigated or sent to Boards of Rights as a result of Perez' allegations.
• Why an after-action report on LAPD's response to the CRASH crisis could not get written.
• Why the Boards of Rights were allowed to fail on such a large scale,
• Whether the USCIS (formerly known as the INS) investigated Perez' allegations that its agents helped deport gang members or others who filed complaints against LAPD officers.''
.

p48:
"While the criminal justice system could sustain overturning scores of criminal prosecutions tainted by Rampart CRASH corruption, thousands could have meant the collapse of the entire LA County criminal justice apparatus."
"Facing a choice between containment or catastrophic failure, the operators of any system-law enforcement, prosecutors and judges-inexorably choose containment. It is not that individuals or entities conspired to cover up corruption; it is that when a window on its true extent opened, they simply closed it."
.
p58:
" Dealing with scores of writs, the Los Angeles Superior Court had to
examine its role in accepting pleas from innocent defendants and
failing to detect police perjury or the conviction of the innocent.
Public Defenders saw their long ignored complaints about incompetent
investigations, routinely fabricated probable cause, frequent
police perjury and excessive force briefly acknowledged, but had to
confront their inability to effectively check the abuses they observed.
apparatus."
.
p60:
"Conclusion 1.20. Most Believe that Justice Was Not Served . Several officers told the Panel that they believe that officers who were culpable in the CRASH corruption escaped sanction; they remain in the department and, in some cases, have been promoted. Many also believe that innocent officers were unfairly investigated or prosecuted and the lives of several officers were arbitrarily destroyed. Unanimously, criminal defense attorneys and civil plaintiffs' attorneys believe that the extent of the corruption was covered up, guilty officers got away and innocent people remain in prison. When the Board of Inquiry report, the one who had the most resources committed to (well over 200 command staff), was published, in March 2000, it was clear that it was an incomplete effort to generate some quick results, and at least one follow-up report was to be completed later on: p63: ”In the spring of 2002, the Los Angeles Times published an article reporting that the promised after-action report, originally to be published in early 2001, was now more than a year overdue.
.
”... by the time William Bratton took over as LAPD Chief in October 2002, no report had been issued.
.
”In February 2003, Chief Bratton called the department's effort to account for its handling of the Rampart scandal "totally inadequate," and called for an independent blue ribbon panel to address the issue. . Rampart Boards of Rights were supposed to be instituted for each of the individual cases that were identified in the Rampart scandal, but were never investigated in full, or even in part, by the time of the publication of the Board of Inquiry report. It was supposed to be the mechanism of completing the investigation of that part of the problem that was identified by the Board of Inquiry investigation, but was cut short. Obviously that would have been only a partial effort, in and of itself, since it is openly admitted that the Board of Inquiry was never able to assess the scope or extent of the problem. And yet, even this partial effort was allowed to fail and was never completed.
.
.
p64:
Rampart Boards of Rights .
Conclusion 1.28.
The Rampart Related Boards of Rights Largely Failed
.
The Panel identified approximately 400 internal Investigations commenced by the department relating to the CRASH crisis. Approximately eighty-six of these investigations resulted in internal Boards of Rights. These numbers are approximate because the Panel was unable to obtain complete information regarding the Rampart related Boards of Rights. The department's failure to maintain any kind of centralized repository of Rampart CRASH material forced the Panel to reconstruct the profiles of Rampart related administrative investigations and Boards of Rights, including complaint file numbers and names, before Professional Standards Bureau could provide the Panel with any Rampart related Boards of Rights material.
The response by police to the Blue Ribbon Panel report was of interest in that it failed to ever mention past present or future investigation into the Rampart scandal abuses that were the reason the Panel was instituted, and were the subject of its report.
Obviously the LA Superior Court and the DA office, the two other parts of the justice system that the Blue Panel Report recommends must be investigated relative to the integrity of the system, have not produced any response that we know of.

."Unanimously, criminal defense attorneys and civil plaintiffs' attorneys believe ... innocent people remain in prison. " p60
Los Angeles Superior Court must be“examine[d for] its role in accepting pleas from innocent defendants and failing to detect police perjury or the conviction of the innocent.” p58
.
"...law enforcement, prosecutors and judges - inexorably chose containment. It is not that individuals or entities conspired to cover up corruption; it is that when a window on its true extent opened, they simply closed it." p48

.
Q: WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
A: HERE WE GO!
.
A. SUBJECT MATTER - INNOCENT CITIZENS, STILL IMPRISONED IN LA.
Plainly speaking, it is a certainty that there are some innocent citizens, by now imprisoned well over 10 years as a result of routine false evidence produced in court by the police. The subject matter is this unknown number of innocent citizens that remain locked up ten years after the investigations were initiated, as a result of the fact that the investigations were never completed.
B. THE ENIGMA - HOW MANY SUCH CITIZENS ARE STILL IMPRISONED
A basic concern of the Blue Ribbon Panel was that after multiple investigative committees over 7 years, and numerous reports, and many millions of dollars spent, nobody knows the extent of the problem.
._________
.
Q: WHAT IS INPROPERINLA’S TAKE ON THE SITUATION?
A: WE GOT TO DO IT, BUT WE GOT TO DO IT SMART!
C. THE ANSWER - THE NUMBER WILL DEPEND ON THE METHOD AND STRINGENCY OF INVESTIGATION, AND ACCORDINGLY RANGE BETWEEN 100 AND 10,000.
Let me take the plunge and guess, with no committee appointment and no budget appropriation --
The number will entirely depends on the methods of investigation and stringency of criteria used to evaluate records of past litigations:
1) If the investigation would proceed along the lines of previous investigation, using traditional methods, and starting from cases where there is at present a specific allegation on record of false evidence by police, seeking to confirm such false evidence, then the number of innocent citizens found imprisoned would be between 100 and 1000. The primary reason would be that again, the investigation would never be completed.
2) However, if the investigations take innovative approaches, specially constructed for dealing with such large scandal, and supported by highly skilled statistical computerized modeling, then the number of innocent citizens found imprisoned would be between 1,000 and 10,000.
D. RECOMMENDATION - SMART COMBINATION STRATEGY FOR ACCURATE, DEFINITIVE, FAST, CHEAP RESULTS, HEAVILY RELYING UPON COMPUTERIZED DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICAL APPROACHES.
1) Full authority must be vested with a U.S. Special Counsel, leading the investigation, and explicitly charged to investigate the integrity of the justice system in LA, including police, prosecutors, and courts, both criminal and civil.
2) Such Special Counsel must immediately secure access to all computer systems of police, prosecutors, and the courts.
3) All existing evidence must be first compiled and indexed, and in parallel - existing indexing files, which were previously denied to investigators must be discovered.
4) Phase I investigations should proceed in full speed in cases where there is already reliable evidence of false prosecution, based on previous investigations that were never concluded.
5) Phase II investigations must be initiated in parallel, based on analysis of the whole body of existing data, statistical modeling, and attempts to derive patterns that would allow expediting of the investigation, and reducing its cost, based on heuristic models combined with continued random sampling.
Such combined approach should allow exhaustion of the investigation within reasonable time and budgets.
E.g.:
a. If Officer A appeared in the Courtroom of Judge X, then it is highly likely that conviction be found false upon review .
b. If Officer A and Officer B appeared in the Courtroom of Judge X, then it is extremely likely that conviction be found false upon review . .
c. If Officer A and Officer B, under the guidance of Prosecutor Y, appeared in the Courtroom of Judge X it is practically a certainty that conviction be found false upon review.
6) Phase III investigation must be instituted in parallel to Phase I and Phase II. Phase III will constitute of statistical computerized monitoring of results as they are accumulated, and statistical models should be constructed in advance in consultation with law enforcement and judicial authorities:
When a certain threshold be reached for any given police, prosecutor, or judge, that would be deemed substantially different than peers, and also be deemed conclusive evidence of a pattern of repeat, routine obstruction of justice, all conviction achieved through the involvement of such individual be overturned first, and such cases be screened in reverse - for those that require repeat prosecution, rather than the opposite.
7) Phase IV - Similarly, separate investigation be instituted in parallel to Phase I, II, III, and proceed based on statistical analysis of results as they are accumulated. The goal of Phase IV would be to predict the length of time and cost of the investigation, propose ways to saturate and exhaust the investigation at fastest cheapest way, and adjust such predictions as results are accumulated.

.
Q: WHAT ABOUT THE UNSPOKEN QUESTION?
A: YOU MEAN FALSE DEATH SENTENCES?
Obviously that is part of the problem. Those who favor death penalty would like never to think about this issue – false convictions and false death sentences, and those who oppose death penalty cannot stop thinking about the prospect.
According to newspaper reports Judge Jacqueline Connor issued in recent years at least one death sentence. Given that she was particularly fond of the Rampart officers and even gave Officer Perez in 1998 a recommendation letter based on his performance in her courtroom (later recanted as false), one can only hope that death row does not move too fast.
._________
.
Q: NEED MORE INFO?
A: NO PROBLEM – HERE IT IS…
Reading the latest report, published in 2006 by the "Blue Ribbon Panel", appointed by LAPD to investigate LAPD's failure to produce previous reports regarding the scope of the Rampart scandal, and the degree to which the LAPD addressed the deficiencies revealed in that scandal, reveals the following pattern: One committee after the other is appointed by police to investigate itself, in an effort to establish why the previous committees failed, and invariably such committees are denied access to the relevant data, especially any indexing data that would allow an overview of the scope, or extent of the problems as a whole, and the degree to which such problems were at all addressed. . The latest report candidly admits that most inside the police believe that the scandal was far from being addressed, and that many innocent citizens are likely to remain incarcerated, 10 years after the beginning of investigations.
._________
.
Q: ARE FAQ’s YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO DIGEST NEW MATERIALS?
A: NO PROBLEM – HERE IT IS…
.
• What is the true reason why the investigations are never completed? As the Blue Ribbon Panel puts it - true investigation could have resulted in catastrophic failure of the justice system in LA... the risk is too high...
.
• How did the investigations fail in reality?
The courts, police and prosecutors failed to allow investigators full unlimited access to computerized data, and with that brought the investigations to a halt.
.
• What is the Blue Ribbon Panel recommendation? Yet another investigative committee, but here they depart somewhat from the official line, and state that it must be an external investigation... . • What was done since then? Nothing that we know of... . • What have we been asking the U.S. Department of Justice for months? U.S. Special Counsel investigation, which is exactly the mechanism provided by law for situations such as described by the Blue Ribbon Panel - "an external investigation", where local conflicts prevent true investigation of material deficiencies in the law enforcement and justice systems.
.
• What response have we been given so far? No response at all...
.
• Why is a Special Counsel the way to go?
A special Counsel is quintessential, since it is the only authority that could force the LA Superior Court, prosecutors, and the LAPD to open up their computer systems and provide the indexing data that is required in order to first assess the scope of the problem, and then estimate what is required for completing such investigation, then master the required resources, conduct the investigation and provide credible reports.
.
The alternatives have been tried and failed too many times in the past 10 years. .
The citizens of LA owe it to their peers, who are incarcerated but innocent, to complete this investigation.

Q: WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ SOME ORIGINAL QUOTES?A: HERE WE GO
.
p2:
"The real story about Rampart is that no one really knows. I know people still on this job that were part of this crew. The investigations were botched so early on, and the guys on Perez's crew sat down. But at least one or two are still working. The investigations were botched so badly by IA .. Now [PSB] wouldn't botch [the investigations like that].... They wouldn't tell Perez' sergeant that they're following him..." .
.
p47:
Los Angeles Institutions Failed to Respond Adequately to the CRASH Crisis
The facts that best support this conclusion arc that a federal court had to take over Los Angeles police reform and that no public entity conducted an independent investigation with the capacity, authority and resources to properly investigate the extent of the alleged corruption or its causes. In addition, after numerous scandal related criminal trials and pleas, multiple LAPD investigations and over 80 internal Boards of Rights, four major reports and a failedcivil grand jury inquiry, the following basic facts about the Rampart CRASH corruption remain unknown or disputed:
• Whether the scandal was about two officers guilty of isolated criminal misconduct or about policing systems that tolerated routine abuse and criminality by a significant subcult in its ranks.
• How many officers committed crimes or serious misconduct.? The scope of misconduct at issue (ranging from unjustified shootings, framings and beatings to falsifying arrest reports and fabricating probable cause).
• How many officers committed crimes or serious misconduct.
• The scope of misconduct at issue (ranging from unjustified shootings, framings and beatings to falsifying arrest reports and fabricating probable cause).
• The extent of Rampart CRASH-like misconduct in the CRASH units of other divisions, other specialized units and LAPD policing generally.
• The extent of corrupt acts, if any, by Rampart CRASH alumni who graduated into Metro, Internal Affairs and other coveted and specialized units.
• Why CRASH supervisors and others in LAPD silenced whistleblowers who tried to warn about CRASH insubordination and misconduct.
• How many of Perez' specific allegations were fully investigated and verified.
•sd Why the DA's declination memos explaining the reasons for not charging Rampart related cases submitted by LAPD did not address a number of cases of alleged misconduct, including several allegedly unjustified shootings.
• How many officers were administratively investigated or sent to Boards of Rights as a result of Perez' allegations.
• Why an after-action report on LAPD's response to the CRASH crisis could not get written.
• Why the Boards of Rights were allowed to fail on such a large scale,
• Whether the USCIS (formerly known as the INS) investigated Perez' allegations that its agents helped deport gang members or others who filed complaints against LAPD officers.''
.
.
p48:
"While the criminal justice system could sustain overturning scores of criminal prosecutions tainted by Rampart CRASH corruption, thousands could have meant the collapse of the entire LA County criminal justice apparatus."
"Facing a choice between containment or catastrophic failure, the operators of any system-law enforcement, prosecutors and judges-inexorably choose containment. It is not that individuals or entities conspired to cover up corruption; it is that when a window on its true extent opened, they simply closed it."
.
p58:
" Dealing with scores of writs, the Los Angeles Superior Court had to
examine its role in accepting pleas from innocent defendants and
failing to detect police perjury or the conviction of the innocent.
Public Defenders saw their long ignored complaints about incompetent
investigations, routinely fabricated probable cause, frequent
police perjury and excessive force briefly acknowledged, but had to
confront their inability to effectively check the abuses they observed.
apparatus."
.
p60:
"Conclusion 1.20. Most Believe that Justice Was Not Served . Several officers told the Panel that they believe that officers who were culpable in the CRASH corruption escaped sanction; they remain in the department and, in some cases, have been promoted. Many also believe that innocent officers were unfairly investigated or prosecuted and the lives of several officers were arbitrarily destroyed. Unanimously, criminal defense attorneys and civil plaintiffs' attorneys believe that the extent of the corruption was covered up, guilty officers got away and innocent people remain in prison. When the Board of Inquiry report, the one who had the most resources committed to (well over 200 command staff), was published, in March 2000, it was clear that it was an incomplete effort to generate some quick results, and at least one follow-up report was to be completed later on: p63: ”In the spring of 2002, the Los Angeles Times published an article reporting that the promised after-action report, originally to be published in early 2001, was now more than a year overdue.
.
”... by the time William Bratton took over as LAPD Chief in October 2002, no report had been issued.
.
”In February 2003, Chief Bratton called the department's effort to account for its handling of the Rampart scandal "totally inadequate," and called for an independent blue ribbon panel to address the issue. . Rampart Boards of Rights were supposed to be instituted for each of the individual cases that were identified in the Rampart scandal, but were never investigated in full, or even in part, by the time of the publication of the Board of Inquiry report. It was supposed to be the mechanism of completing the investigation of that part of the problem that was identified by the Board of Inquiry investigation, but was cut short. Obviously that would have been only a partial effort, in and of itself, since it is openly admitted that the Board of Inquiry was never able to assess the scope or extent of the problem. And yet, even this partial effort was allowed to fail and was never completed.
.
.
p64:
Rampart Boards of Rights .
Conclusion 1.28.
The Rampart Related Boards of Rights Largely Failed
.
The Panel identified approximately 400 internal Investigations commenced by the department relating to the CRASH crisis. Approximately eighty-six of these investigations resulted in internal Boards of Rights. These numbers are approximate because the Panel was unable to obtain complete information regarding the Rampart related Boards of Rights. The department's failure to maintain any kind of centralized repository of Rampart CRASH material forced the Panel to reconstruct the profiles of Rampart related administrative investigations and Boards of Rights, including complaint file numbers and names, before Professional Standards Bureau could provide the Panel with any Rampart related Boards of Rights material.
The response by police to the Blue Ribbon Panel report was of interest in that it failed to ever mention past present or future investigation into the Rampart scandal abuses that were the reason the Panel was instituted, and were the subject of its report.
Obviously the LA Superior Court and the DA office, the two other parts of the justice system that the Blue Panel Report recommends must be investigated relative to the integrity of the system, have not produced any response that we know of.

BEVERLY HILLS HOMEOWNER, ROBBED BY LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT THROUGH “FRAUDS MEDIEVAL” LAUNCHED CIVIL RIGHTS PETITION - TO OPEN THE BOOK OF JUDGMENTS BY OCT 9, 2008,AND TO APPOINT A U.S. SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE THE CONDUCT OF LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT - FROM RAMPART TO BEVERLY HILLS.
.
“What starts at the Rampart comes back to roost in Beverly Hills…and also plays out in Calabasas – where Countrywide is based…” Joseph Zernik asks:
“Please support our efforts by responding by email to the petition, copied at the end of the story.”
.
Joseph Zernik
.
Summary:
Robbed Beverly Hills homeowner Joseph Zernik is tied for the third year by litigation in the Los Angeles Superior Court. In court papers he details multiple layers of frauds by plaintiff, Samaan and Countrywide. Zernik also describes frauds, which in court papers he claims were perpetrated by the court itself, and which he terms “Frauds Medieval”. Zernik says that those who perpetrated the frauds were all professionals in the field: Plaintiff - Nivie Samaan, realtor; Attorney Mohammad Keshavarzi – from Sheppard Mullin – counsel for Plaintiff; Countrywide Home Loans, Inc- the troubled sub-prime lender; Sandor Samuels – Chief Legal Counsel of Countrywide; and Jacqueline Connor – Judge, best known for the First Rampart Trial. At present Zernik claims in court papers that he is subject to – “Judgment Fraud” – yet another Fraud Medieval by the court: The court claims it executed a valid, effectual, entered Judgment, but the problem is you cannot see it... since the Court is hiding the Book of Judgments from public access, abusing First Amendment rights…
“I call them Frauds Medieval”, says robbed Beverly Hills homeowner Joseph Zernik “but in Los Angeles Superior Court they are still in fashion”. He explains that in that term he refers to courtroom frauds that have been known for hundreds of years, and require collusion by a judge or a clerk, and are based on disappearance, appearance, or switching of papers or other litigation essentials. “For example – Statute of Frauds Fraud… when you sue somebody for breach of contract on real estate, but you do not provide any copy of the written contract in your complaint. Such frauds are almost as old as the mountains…” Says Zernik, jokingly “please mention that the mountains here are just as a manner of speech, I don’t mean that literally...
So Samaan filed a complaint…, but with no contract in it. “
In court papers, Zernik claimed, that the underlying transaction, in 2004, was based entirely on frauds by Samaan, and in litigation, she added to that fraud documents from Countrywide. Letters of opinion by fraud specialists are attached to this story, where they state: a) that the loan broker signature on Samaan’s Prequalification Letter was forgery, b) that the loan broker signature on her loan applications were another case of forgery. In both cases – no loan broker signed the records, as represented. Moreover, in deposition she acknowledged that she never even talked with him.
“For example, on the fraud of the Prequalification Letter” says Zernik – “Both FBI and the Department of Real Estate told me that it is enough to throw the case out of court, it’s called Fraudulent Inducement. It was proven beyond any doubt. But then Judge Connor, in summary judgment did not deny it took place, but ruled that it was ‘Red Herring’. I thought of proposing it as a new type of adjudication, possibly together with ‘Tuna Salad’” jokes Zernik.
Beyond that, the litigation was based on false documents provided by Countrywide. Among the attached documents is a key record that was represented by Countrywide and Samaan as an Underwriting Letter dated October 14, 2004. A nationally recognized fraud specialist provided a letter of opinion that the Underwriting Letter is dated October 26, 2004. Moreover, Court papers show that Zernik’s attorney objected to this record, since this record was unsigned, and unauthenticated, and should never have been admitted as evidence by any judge. Furthermore, Judge Connor allowed it to be entered as evidence in Sur Reply,”…it is unheard of… Judge Jacqueline Connor ruled everything upside down, you can only wonder why.” Says Zernik.
Furthermore, in court papers, Zernik claims that from her first day as presiding judge in this case, Judge Jacqueline Connor was generating fraudulent litigation records in the case, which he claims, means that most likely the case was designed for fraud even before claims were filed…
“Right at the beginning, my attorney filed a demurrer on Statute of Frauds,one of the Frauds Medieval, since Samaan failed to include any contract in the complaint. Judge Connor denied the Demurrer. Then during discovery, there were six (6) different version of the contract…somebody was having a field day…but Samaan would not state which is the contract that she was suing about. Then Judge Connor allowed her to enter a fraudulent document produced by Countrywide as the contract, in Reply brief on Summary Judgment motion. It is entirely abusive to allow such central evidence in the last minute, when the other party does not have time to respond – straight from the middle ages - classic Statute of Frauds Fraud” says Zernik. “Samaan also never authenticated that record, since it was fraud. I objected, I described the fraud in that record in great detail in court, but Judge Connor admitted it as evidence.”
Moreover, court records show that on the day that Judge Connor was hearing summary judgment Zernik already had on the schedule a motion for sanctions for frauds against Att Mohammad Keshavarzi, from Sheppard Mullin. The transcript also shows that Zernik explained that fact to Judge Connor during the hearing. And still - Judge Connor ruled that there was no material disputable fact in the case as a whole. “Such ruling is required for the ruling of Summary Judgment.” Says Zernik. “I believe that the conduct of Attorney Keshavarzi, upon review by an honest court would be deemed racketeering, he was knowingly, repeatedly filing these false records”.
“But that was only the beginning…” Says Zernik. “Now that we went back and managed to get many of the records that the court was hiding, we find that Judge Jacqueline A Connor recorded the Demurrer, once as :GRANTED, once as OVERRULED, and once as a decision that was vacated. Three different contradictory records from the same day for the adjudication of one action! That is not the only time either. There are numerous such contradictory records in this case.”
“It is almost a year now, and we are still dealing with her Judgment Fraud. That is another Fraud Medieval” Says Zernik.. “That is why they invented the Book of Judgments in the first place - as a public record that is open to all - so that no party would be able to play games with the judgment- and to ensure that the judgment is final.”
According to California law, CCP §664, the judge has to create and sign two copies of the judgment. One copy goes into the court file, like any other record, but the second copy needs to be entered into the Book of Judgments. If the second copy is not entered into the book of judgment the judgment is not valid, and also not final, it can still be changed, but it is not “effectual” for execution.
“It all sounds very simple. But then it turned out the Los Angeles Superior Court has been denying access to its Book of Judgments for a long time” Says Zernik.
“We estimate that it has been 25 years, since the public was allowed access to the Book of Judgments, as required by law” Says Zernik.
The estimate is based on statements by the clerk’s office that the Book of Judgments, in a traditional paper form was eliminated when the court introduced its computer system “Sustain”. That happened by estimate about 25 years ago. And the Los Angeles Superior Court denies any public access to that system. ”that is also clearly in violation of the law” says Zernik. In court papers he claims that the public has the right to inspect all these records both by U.S. Constitution, and also by California Constitution, California Public Records Act, California Rules of Court, etc. He also claims that he appeared a number of times before the Supervising Judge of Santa Monica Courthouse, to demand to inspect such records. ”He answered to my request by saying: ‘Sustain is privileged- for the court only’” says Zernik “and that is a violation of my civil rights and also a violation of U.S. law. Not only is he denying me the right to see my own litigation papers, he is also inventing an unwritten rule of court. That is prohibited by U.S. law for any court in the U.S. – State or Federal.”
“Basically, they created conditions where you cannot see if the judgment was entered or not.” Says Zernik “the court brought justice in Los Angeles back to the medieval times…”
In court papers, Zernik describes the right to inspect and to copy court documents, as a First Amendment right, and that such right was confirmed in Nixon v Warner Communications by the U.S. Supreme Court. In court papers, Zernik claims that the Los Angeles Superior Court is violating the First Amendment rights of the 9.5 million people that it claims to serve, and that it has been doing so for an estimated 25 years!
Zernik explains that the idea of Book of Judgment, as a public record that is open to all to see, was invented hundreds of years ago, as part of what later became Common Law: “ It is a very simple, but very effective way to prevent frauds in the court” says Zernik,“ and if you come to think about it, what interest is there for an honest court to hide its Book of Judgments?” asks Zernik.
He states in court records that he asked in writing numerous times, both the Presiding Judge of the Court and the Clerk, who by law is supposed to keep the Book of Judgment and allow the public to inspect and to copy it. But he was always denied the right to access the Book. Moreover, he requested the Presiding judge to certify (as required by law – you are entitled to obtain a certified copy of any court document for a small pay) either a copy of the judgment from the Book of Judgment, as a proof that the judgment is there, or otherwise to issue a certificate that there is no such judgment in the Book. The Court is refusing to issue either.
“But I managed to get around that too…since it is now over a year, I went to the archives, where they keep microfilm backups of key court records, just in case.” Obviously, the Book of Judgments is a key court record. ”I searched and copied all the judgments that were entered on Aug 9, 2007, the day my judgment was supposed to be entered, and also the judgments from neighboring days, but there was no judgment in my case. Then I asked the clerk to help me, and he tried to find it, but it was not there, Finally he looked at his computer, in “Sustain” – the system that they claim is “privileged”, and he told me I must call an attorney immediately, since no judgment was entered in my case, and it was clearly marked in Sustain.”
“There is no other explanation for the conduct of Judge Connor, and the office of the Presiding Judge of the Court is colluding with her. It is crude fraud, the kind that you would expect from a thug…they claim that there is a judgment, but I am not allowed to see it…I could never believe something like this could take place in the U.S. in our time…” says Zernik “Judge Jacqueline Connor and the Los Angeles Superior Court are straight from medieval times.”
Such conduct, Zernik states in court papers, is likely to be deemed criminal acts, once reviewed by an honest court: The court forced Zernik to leave his home under threat of force, the court forcibly entered the property, the court sold Zernik house. And the Court never gave Zernik any of the proceeds of the sale. “I have not seen a penny”
Moreover, Zernik found out that the title was transferred in a manner that would be deemed, when reviewed by another court, a real estate fraud (see attached document, where a veteran FBI agent reviewed the documents).
“Why would a court get involved in a title fraud if they have a valid judgment?” asks Zernik. He says: “The fact that the court had to use fraud on the grant deed is the best proof that the court knew that it had no valid judgment. That means that they committed all these misleading acts intentionally, and that is clearly fraud”.
Moreover, in court papers Zernik claims that he believes his case is not unique at all. The only difference is that he had no attorney. Had he had an attorney at that time, he would never know any of the details that led him to explore the various issues that led to the determination that there was fraud involved here.
“No attorney would tell you that the Los Angeles Superior Court is engaging in real estate frauds… at least none of the attorneys that I have engaged or interviewed for engagement”, says Zernik. ”In fact, in court papers I claim that Judge Jacqueline Connor’s conduct in my case amounts to racketeering from the bench. She deliberately entered false litigation records, with no notice to parties, and then she engaged in elaborate game that took over three weeks of trying to make it as unclear as possible whether judgment was entered or not. But it was meant to be simple – you just look in the book. Or in this case – you just look on the computer screen...except that they created a system where you are not allowed to look at the records... it is such a basic and crude violation of civil rights that it took me time to believe it was happening to me…”
“What is most worrisome, is that you cannot get police or FBI to investigate Judge Connor” says Zernik. “Both the FBI and Beverly Hills Police are refusing to investigate, also – California District Attorney Office. Even the office of California Attorney General Jerry Brown, who is trying to run for governor. Jerry Brown’s office issued a letter by a Special Assistant to Jerry Brown, named Thomas Greene, that this is a private matter. In discussion with Mr Greene it became apparent to me that he had a conflict of interest and should have removed himself from this matter. I demanded a statement on the record regarding conflicts, or lack thereof – but he refused to provide one. And yet – he issued a letter stating that this is a private matter, and refused to investigate – even with all the preliminary investigations that I produced. I am surely never going to vote for Jerry Brown for Governor… he betrays the office he occupies…”.
Zernik points out a unique exception:
“The only exception on the opposite side is my Congresswoman, the Honorable Diane Watson, a courageous woman, who puts the true interests of her people – we the voters - above all else! She initiated inquiry with the office of the Director of FBI”
Zernik relates this dire situation to the role of Judge Jacqueline Connor in the First Rampart Trial in 2000. It was reported in all media at the time, that Judge Connor presided in the First Rampart Trial, in 2000, where several police were prosecuted for abuses of civil rights of the people.
Erwin Chemerinsky, the founding Dean of the new Irvine Law School and a civic leader described it as follows:
“Any analysis of the Rampart scandal must begin with an appreciation of the heinous nature of what the officers did. This is conduct associated with the most repressive dictators and police states. “
“…and judges must share responsibility when innocent people are convicted.”
“..it is telling that there is virtually no reference in the Board of Inquiry Report to the “code of silence” described by the Independent Commission on the Los Angeles Police Department.”
“No single reform can be sufficient. Reform is not an event, but a process that will take many years to complete. The hope is that this crisis provides a unique opportunity for reform. This opportunity must not be squandered. This report is written with the strong belief that reform is possible and that future Ramparts can and must be prevented."
Chemerinsky 57 Guild Prac. 121 2000
And professors from Loyola law school published a paper stating as follows:
“…judges tried and sentenced a staggering number of people for crimes they did not commit. How could so many participants in the criminal justice system have failed either to recognize or to instigate any meaningful scrutiny of such appalling and repeated perversions of justice?”
“…we felt a particular obligation to ensure that no aspect of the Los Angeles criminal justice system, including the lawyers and judges, escaped scrutiny. A law school, with its concern for all aspects of the justice system, is the obvious place for such an examination.”
David W. Burcham, and Catherine L. Fisk, Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, 2000
Prior to the time of the First Rampart trial, Judge Jacqueline Connor was routinely involved in criminal prosecutions brought by Rampart Police, in news paper report she is also described as having issued a death sentence in a criminal case.
The question of the validity of the criminal convictions was a central question in the Rampart trial itself. Newspaper reported that at the end of the trial some 150 people were released from long term sentences…
“That was a paradox to me in the first place, how could she preside in a trial that could end up reviewing her own decisions in criminal cases brought by the very same police?”. Say Zernik.
If you read reports from the trial, she limited the discovery and evidence that could be entered in that trial.
At the end of the trial, the Jury found three of the four police guilty, and sentence them for prison terms. On December 22, 2000, Judge Jacqueline Connor overruled the jury verdict, and freed the three police involved. That act is described in news reports from that year as “unprecedented.”

Summary:
Robbed Beverly Hills homeowner Joseph Zernik is tied for the third year by litigation in the Los Angeles Superior Court. In court papers he details multiple layers of frauds by plaintiff, Samaan and Countrywide. Zernik also describes frauds, which in court papers he claims were perpetrated by the court itself, and which he terms “Frauds Medieval”. Zernik says that those who perpetrated the frauds were all professionals in the field: Plaintiff - Nivie Samaan, realtor; Attorney Mohammad Keshavarzi – from Sheppard Mullin – counsel for Plaintiff; Countrywide Home Loans, Inc- the troubled sub-prime lender; Sandor Samuels – Chief Legal Counsel of Countrywide; and Jacqueline Connor – Judge, best known for the First Rampart Trial. At present Zernik claims in court papers that he is subject to – “Judgment Fraud” – yet another Fraud Medieval by the court: The court claims it executed a valid, effectual, entered Judgment, but the problem is you cannot see it... since the Court is hiding the Book of Judgments from public access, abusing First Amendment rights…
“I call them Frauds Medieval”, says robbed Beverly Hills homeowner Joseph Zernik “but in Los Angeles Superior Court they are still in fashion”. He explains that in that term he refers to courtroom frauds that have been known for hundreds of years, and require collusion by a judge or a clerk, and are based on disappearance, appearance, or switching of papers or other litigation essentials. “For example – Statute of Frauds Fraud… when you sue somebody for breach of contract on real estate, but you do not provide any copy of the written contract in your complaint. Such frauds are almost as old as the mountains…” Says Zernik, jokingly “please mention that the mountains here are just as a manner of speech, I don’t mean that literally...
So Samaan filed a complaint…, but with no contract in it. “
In court papers, Zernik claimed, that the underlying transaction, in 2004, was based entirely on frauds by Samaan, and in litigation, she added to that fraud documents from Countrywide. Letters of opinion by fraud specialists are attached to this story, where they state: a) that the loan broker signature on Samaan’s Prequalification Letter was forgery, b) that the loan broker signature on her loan applications were another case of forgery. In both cases – no loan broker signed the records, as represented. Moreover, in deposition she acknowledged that she never even talked with him.

“My case holds high public policy significance” says Zernik. ”Not because of the elaborate frauds by Judge Jacqueline Connor that I claim in my case, and not because of the fact that I claim that combined with the illegal hiding of the Book of Judgments, and combined with the illegal “privileged” computer, it shows a racketeering organization in the Los Angeles Superior Court, which has been going on for decades..,”.

.
“These are not only financial crimes, these are also severe violations of my civil rights. I have been trapped in court since 2005, and my losses are over $2.0 millions now, in a case that any reasonable person would say is fraud from start to end. And it is abuse of my civil rights by the U.S. constitution – for Due Process, for Free Speech, and for Possession. The Los Angeles Court behaves like we never got the Bill of Rights…”
.
.
“But that still is negligible compared to the significance of my case as a new way to evaluate what happened in Los Angeles in 2000 relative to the First Rampart Trial. The violations of civil rights in that trial were of entirely different magnitude. And that trial, and its aftermath, are clearly a defining event in the urban history of Los Angeles, and also in the history of the Justice System in the U.S.”

.
"My case shows the direct relationship between abuse of the civil rights of a homeowner in Beverly Hills, and civil rights violation of different proportions, as seen in the Rampart neighborhood, and on the other hand – it is tied directly to the leadership of Countrywide, also residing in Los Angeles County, which is a main culprit in the sub-prime crisis, which I think most people will never be able to comprehend the cost of that to our country….

"It is because of the Rampart case that I am asking the public to support the petition I have released this weekend – to open the Book of Judgments, and to appoint a U.S. Special Counsel to investigate the Los Angles Superior Court”.

Hi,
.
.
I find myself against my will in the role of civil rights activist... but I accepted it by now as my karma, must have been in my stars… I believe that the issue I raise here - severe violations of civil rights, and violations of the very basic paradigms of honest courts (First Amendment rights of open books of court and open court files - as public records) by the LA Superior Court, for an estimated 25, years are astonishing...
.
Did nobody ever notice it?
Did nobody ever notice it?
.
The exact same question was repeatedly asked after the Rampart scandal, and in a way it reminds us of the relationship between the two issues.This is Joseph Zernik, writing from Los Angeles, California, where for almost 3 years I have been abused by Los Angeles Superior Court judges.

What is described below is medieval, crude frauds by the courts on litigants, especially in the areas of real estate. I believe that:
Any litigation in the SANTA MONICA COURTHOUSE in the last 25 years, in real estate matters, on claims of "Specific Performance" pursuant to "Equity Rights", should be held suspect as a case of racketeering by the court.
Any real estate case in the LA SUPERIOR COURT, where ATT DAVID PASTERNAK was involved as Receiver or Master, or Referee, should be deemed suspect case of racketeering by the court.

Any real estate case in the LA SUPERIOR COURT, where ATT DAVID PASTERNAK was involved as Receiver or Master, or Referee, should be deemed suspect case of racketeering by the court.
.
Any case where COUNTRYWIDE or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates were party to litigation in the same court house should similarly be held suspect.
This petition is part of combined efforts to enforce compliance with civil rights pursuant to the U.S. Constitution on the Los Angeles Superior Court. Since 2001 a U.S. OVERSEER - a Federal Judge, the HONORABLE GARY FEESS - is in place to monitor civil rights compliance by the Los Angeles Police Department. But the court, which according to the reports from that period was just as much part of the problem - was left in the CONSENT DECREE negotiated by the U.S. ATTORNEY, CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA with no supervision, and as seen here - continues its abuses.More disturbing yet is the role of the FBI in lawlessness in Los Angeles. The FBI is listing Los Angeles as the "epicenter" of a national "epidemic" of real estate and mortgage fraud. The FBI has refused to investigate my complaints for a year and a half, since it involved judges. That is when my complaints included critical evidence regarding Countrywide, when Countrywide is at the focus of FBI attention at the national level.

.
After inquiry by t he HONORABLE DIANE WATSON, CONGRESSWOMAN* led to a letter from ASSISTANT DIRECTOR KAISER of the FBI in Washington DC, which asked Zernik to re-submit his complaint to the Los Angeles FBI. Even after that, Zernik was informed that the FBI would not investigate, since he included judges in the complaint.
.
.
The conduct of JUDGE JACQUELINE CONNOR in this case cannot be separated from her role in the FIRST RAMPART TRIAL. And the role of the FBI in my case, cannot be separated from the role of the FBI in the RAMPART CASE. The conduct of Judge Jacqueline Connor must also be viewed in the context of the rampart trial.
.
.
My case involves severe violations of civil rights for Free Speech, for Due Process, and for Possession. And surely it is not the only real estate case of its kind in this court house. But it is insignificant compared the violations of civil rights revealed in the Rampart case.

ERWIN CHEMERINSKY, FOUNDING DEAN. IRVINE LAW SCHOOL, and a Los Angeles civic leader wrote:
.
.
“Any analysis of the Rampart scandal must begin with an appreciation of the heinous nature of what the officers did. “
.
“…and judges must share responsibility when innocent people are convicted.”
.
“No single reform can be sufficient. Reform is not an event, but a process that will take many years to complete. The hope is that this crisis provides a unique opportunity for reform. This opportunity must not be squandered. This report is written with the strong belief that reform is possible and that future Ramparts can and must be prevented."

DAVID W. BURCHAM and CATHERINE L FISK, LOYOLA LAW SCHOOL, wrote:
.
.
“…judges tried and sentenced a staggering number of people for crimes they did not commit. How could so many participants in the criminal justice system have failed either to recognize or to instigate any meaningful scrutiny of such appalling and repeated perversions of justice?”
.
“…we felt a particular obligation to ensure that no aspect of the Los Angeles criminal justice system, including the lawyers and judges, escaped scrutiny. A law school, with its concern for all aspects of the justice system, is the obvious place for such an examination.”

This is what this petition is trying to correct - we urgently need Federal review of the LA Superior Court, and the FBI in Los Angeles need to be supervised by either the Overseer of the Rampart, or a Special Counsel we hope will get appointed.In my case:
.
.
The judges of the court preside with no assignment orders, transferring the court file from judge to judge in disregard of the law, and with no authority and no jurisdiction at all.
.
.
They hide the books of court - claiming that there is a judgment in my case, but the Book of Judgments is hidden, and the entered judgment cannot be seen.
<Judgment Fraud>
They keep double books of litigation records, with secret files, hidden from the public, back-dating and vacating orders with no notice to parties.
<Secret Invalidation of Minute Orders>
They refuse to notice orders they issue or vacate from chambers.
They stole my house - see in my blog photocopies of fraudulent Grant Deed registered by the court in the Office of Registrar.
<Grant Deed Fraud>
They issued 3 gag orders on me - for Countrywide, for Mara Escrow, and for United Title - all large companies involved in real estate fraud in my case.
The main judge in my case engaged in repeated fraud in generating double books of litigation records - one on paper, and the opposite, hidden from the public - in court's computer
<Claims Against Connor>I am grateful for each and every reply - each one counts, and our goal is 10,000 responses by October 9, 2008.
It takes a minute to respond, and you are very likely to make a substantial difference in the life of 9.5 millions living in Los Angeles County. We already have one Federal Overseer for civil rights in place, appointed in 2000 after the Rampart scandal. But his appointment was focused on the police. The court, which was equally to blame, and the FBI, were mostly left out...
