Severe bad health did the trick for John St. Marie, 66, a former assistant Hennepin County attorney who ran "Nice Guys." The man behind a secretive online prostitution ring for a group of well-to-do men who dubbed themselves "Minnesota Nice Guys" won't receive any jail time. John St. Marie, 66, a former assistant Hennepin County attorney, pleaded guilty Tuesday to three felony counts of promoting prostitution. The lack of jail time recognized his severe health problems, said Jim Dahlquist, St. Marie's attorney. He could be sent to jail if he violates his probation, and was ordered to pay a sum to a women's advocacy group. "An offer was made, and we went ahead and did it," said Dahlquist. "John has a great deal of respect for the legal process, and he decided not to prolong the issue." St. Marie, who uses a wheelchair because of childhood polio, can move his neck and a finger on his left hand. Post-polio syndrome forced him to retire in 2003 because he needs round-the-clock health care, said Dahlquist. The deal was made before an upcoming settlement conference with the Ramsey County attorney's office, which handled the case because of St. Marie's employment with Hennepin County. A key consideration in making the deal was the great expense to taxpayers to incarcerate him, said Paul Gustafson, spokesman for the county attorney's office. "He did plead guilty to three counts and is now a felon, plus he has been disbarred because of the charges," Gustafson said. "We had to be practical, too, in terms of would it send any greater message to send him to prison knowing there would be significant expense involved." As part of the plea agreement, three other counts of promoting prostitution were dismissed. St. Marie will be sentenced Jan. 20, at which time Dahlquist said his client "will have a lot more to say." St. Marie, of Minneapolis, couldn't be reached for comment, but Dahlquist said "this has been tremendously difficult for him. ." The case against St. Marie and the "Nice Guys" started in July 2008 and lasted more than a year. Police said St. Marie built a client list of 30 business owners, lawyers, accountants and mortgage bankers who met women at some of Minneapolis' finest hotels. The group got its name because members had clean backgrounds, regarded themselves as above mistreating the women and paid well, police said. The men would receive e-mails advertising when the women would be flown in from Florida, and St. Marie scheduled appointments. One man said he was willing to pay $1,200 for a woman, according to the charges. The "Nice Guys" ring was one of the more unusual rings they've seen in Minnesota, said Sgt. Grant Snyder and Sgt. Matt Wente, investigators for the Minneapolis Police Department's Violent Offender Task Force. The sophisticated operation flew under the radar for at least three years, police said. The investigation also brought down MyFastPass.com, the Twin Cities' largest locally owned prostitution website. Seven of the "Nice Guys" were charged with gross misdemeanor soliciting prostitution this month. Many of the men learned of St. Marie's reputation for luring women to Minnesota through a website for self-described "hobbyists" looking for high-dollar escorts. Police did surveillance in hotel rooms of several johns who were set up by women who worked for St. Marie but cooperated with police once the investigation began. In one recorded conversation, St. Marie paid for a woman's airline tickets and hotel stays in exchange for sex, the charges said. St. Marie didn't prosecute prostitution cases during his 28 years with the Hennepin County attorney's office. He represented social-service agencies and did civil commitments for mentally ill and chemically dependent people. Although he hadn't practiced law since he retired, the state disbarred him this month.

Lakin “Sex Accusation,” Still Investigated, Prosecutor Says
BY NICHOLAS J.C. PISTOR
Tom Lakin on April 23, 2007, after turning himself in to authorities and posting bond following his federal indictment.
EDWARDSVILLE, IL • After a 15-year-old boy accused one of Metro East's most powerful political figures of arranging to watch him have sex with women and then engaging him in a sex act, a state prosecutor vowed a swift investigation. Four years later, the promise remains, but the investigation is unfinished against Tom Lakin, a multimillionaire lawyer and big-time Democratic Party bankroller who was once at the pinnacle of Madison County's renowned personal injury litigators. Lakin did land in federal prison on a drug conviction. And he is being sued in civil court over the sex claims. But that suit has been stalled, its lawyer says, by the unfinished state case. "We can't proceed with our civil suit with the state saying it's considering prosecution," lamented Ed Unsell, an East Alton lawyer representing the boy, now 20, in a suit filed in 2006. "This boy needs vindication," Unsell insisted. Charles Colburn, a lawyer with the Illinois Office of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor, confirmed in a recent interview that its probe is still moving forward. He blamed difficulties in obtaining some unspecified piece of federal evidence for the delay. The investigation was initially stymied by issues of conflicts of interest and overlapping investigations, most of which were sorted out years ago. Lakin, who once headed the powerful Lakin Law Firm in Wood River, pleaded guilty in 2008 in federal court of possession with the intent to deliver cocaine, distributing cocaine to a person under 21 and maintaining a drug-involved premises. In exchange for that plea, federal prosecutors dropped their sole sex-related charge, that claimed Lakin took a minor to his second home in Malibu, Calif., with the intent of having oral sex. That allegation involved the same boy, a family friend, who said Lakin set up sexual encounters with women, young and old, to watch in 2005 and directly engaged in oral sex acts with him. The bulk of allegations involve incidents at Lakin's home in East Alton, thus falling under Illinois statutes. The allegations were reported to the Illinois State Police in 2005, but no charges were filed. William Mudge, the Madison County state's attorney, said at the time he was given only a "very general claim" and never a formal police report to act upon. Mudge later declined to get involved because the law firm where he worked before he was appointed state's attorney 2002 — Lucco, Brown & Mudge — had represented Lakin in his second divorce. The case was handed over to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who also declined, reportedly citing conflicts of her own that included $66,000 in campaign donations from the Lakin family that was in addition to a $5,695 donation of airplane use for her campaign, estimated to be worth $5,695. Mudge ultimately asked that a special prosecutor be appointed. Lakin, 70, is serving his six-year drug sentence in a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, and is set for release in November 2013. He and his lawyers have long denied the sex-related allegations — which carry heavy penalties — and have pledged to fight them. The dropping of the sex-related claim from the federal case was widely considered a personal victory. Federal prosecutors also dropped, without explanation, their initial requirement that Lakin cooperate in other investigations involving judges and lawyers in Madison and St. Clair counties. Colburn, the special prosecutor, said, "It's an unusual case where the suspect is in custody." He suggested there is no pressing need to keep Lakin behind bars. Stephanee Smith, a spokeswoman for the Madison County state's attorney's office, said the cost of the special prosecutor is included in a flat fee of $30,000, based on population, paid to support the appellate prosecutor's office.

Judge Fisher...corrupt Van Nuys Superior Court jurist violates rights, coerces defendants, and destroys documents!
Written by julianayrs on Oct-7-08 8:00pm
Judge Fisher is the most corrupt Judge in the Superior Court Judiciary system in the greater Los Angeles area. Fisher, a Judge who warms the bench in Van Nuys, is under the mistaken impression that he is above the law - can willy-nilly ignore the rights of a defendant at whim - and destroy court documents to suit his dishonest purposes to avoid scrutiny or prosecution for his illegal conduct. In addition, Fisher is either ignorant of the law - or simply chooses to ignore it - to maintain ultimate control over his courtroom at any cost. Notwithstanding, the man is a liar. On a regular basis - he makes false representations to defendants - in a bold-faced deceitful effort to extract plea bargains from innocent victims that he will never honor. Yes, he has a perverse sense of humor, too. In one case that I am familiar with, Judge Fisher approved a plea bargain it's obvious he never intended to follow through on, when you review the facts of the case in retrospect. For example, Judge Fisher promised one defendant that if he pled to one felony count, there would be no jail time and three year's probation. In addition - the dishonest Jurist assured the defendant that at the end of the probationary period - the felony count would be reduced to a misdemeanor. On the day the plea bargain was to be signed, sealed, and delivered - Judge Fisher tricked the defendant into admitting to two felony counts - again on the premise - that both counts would be reduced after the probationary period ended. When the probation ended - and the defendant submitted a request to the court (and to Judge Fisher, in particular) to follow through on the terms and conditions of the plea bargain - the Judge refused to follow through. In sum, he did not honor the terms and conditions of the plea bargain agreement!
If the court doesn't meet its obligation, shouldn't that render the plea bargain null and void? But, that is not the extent of Fisher's disreputable conduct. At one hearing, after Fisher was informed that the FBI had been contacted regarding rights violations a defendant alleged he encountered in Fisher's courtroom - suddenly (and without explanation) the court file (poof) magically disappeared from the records. Curiously, in spite of this, Fisher proceeded to rule on an issue before the court! If there was no file, and nothing to reference in the court records, how would it be possible for Fisher to review the facts and evidence in the case? More importantly, how would it be possible to render a decision in the matter before the court? Under the circumstances, Fisher should have dismissed the action. His failure to do so, amounted to a gross violation of the defendant's Constitutional rights. On another occasion, Fisher used questionable "strong-arm" tactics to force a defendant to admit a probation violation under duress. For example, when a defendant was hauled into court to explain to Fisher why she failed to appear at the office of a probation officer (the individual thought she had summary probation) Judge Fisher proceeded to coerce the defendant into admitting a probation violation. Knowing that the defendant was ill and in need of urgent medical care, he informed the defendant that if she admitted to violating probation, that she would be released from jail that day. What person, who is ill and in dire need of medical assistance, wouldn't be tempted to agree to such an offer? In sum, Fisher's conduct amounted to an act of coercion! It should be obvious to any fool, too, that because the defendant was forced to make the admission (a false one, by the way) under duress, that she could not be held to the forced admission. But, if the defendant filed a complaint with officials afterward, there probably would not have been any record of what transpired. Why? Because Fisher would have taken appropriate illegal action to ensure that the transcript and/or court reporter's notes "disappeared" I wouldn't doubt it considering his track record. In one particular case - when a defendant wised up to Fisher's lies and deception - (and got wind of the fact the disreputable Judge was prone to bend and change the terms and conditions of court agreements at whim) - he asked Judge Fisher for a copy of the transcript for future reference. Judge Fisher refused to order the court reporter to prepare it, in spite of the fact the defendant was entitled to a copy, pursuant to applicable Statutes under State Law. "You can get the information you need from the public defender," he barked at the defendant." Fat chance. The Public Pretenders (State-appointed attorneys for indigent defendants) and the Prosecutors in the District Attorney's office are all in a handful of the Judges' pockets over there at the Van Nuys Courthouse. The Judiciary system in the San Fernando Valley, after all, is a cesspool of corruption! Until the Los Angeles Superior Court rids itself of the likes of Judge Fisher, the integrity of the court, will continue to be compromised.

Hopefully, the FBI will step in and investigate, and prosecute accordingly.

Panel: Lawyer for Ex-Detroit Mayor Withheld Material Facts, Faces Discipline
Posted Mar 2, 2010 9:29 AM CDT
By Molly McDonough ABA Journal
The lawyer for disgraced ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is facing possible disbarment on professional misconduct charges relating to his handling of the text-messaging scandal that led to Kilpatrick's ouster.
A three-member panel of the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board found that lawyer Samuel McCargo violated five rules of professional misconduct. The panel, which issued an 83-page report (PDF) in the case, will now consider the penalty that McCargo should face, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Those watching the disciplinary case say that the board's actions this week don't bode well for other lawyers involved in the Kilpatrick case.
"The other lawyers should be fearful," says Peter Henning, a Wayne State University law professor and former federal prosecutor who teaches a course on legal ethics.
The panel specifically found that McCargo withheld material facts from the judge overseeing a 2007 police whistle-blower trial. He's also charged with failing to respond truthfully to the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission during its investigation of his conduct. However, McCargo was cleared of five other disciplinary charges.
At issue is McCargo's handling of information he obtained from Mike Stefani, the lawyer for the police officers, that revealed Kilpatrick lied under oath during the 2007 trial.
The discipline cases surround a secret $8.4 million settlement struck after the revelation of the text messages. The settlement was aimed, in part, to keep the romantic text messages between Kilpatrick and his chief of staff from being made public, the Detroit News recounts.
But the messages became public anyway when Stefani reportedly leaked them to the local press. The revelation forced Kilpatrick to resign and serve 99 days in jail for perjury.
"While McCargo was dealt an unfortunate set of cards, including a less-than-forthright client, he played them poorly," the panel said in its decision. "We do not doubt that McCargo was acting in what he honestly believed was an appropriate and ethical course of action from the time Stefani handed him the draft" of a legal brief containing excerpts of text messages Stefani had obtained.
The panel noted that McCargo would have been better off had he sought advice from colleagues or ethics professionals before proceeding.

Broken Justice in our Courts, Agencies, and the System
History
Our forefather’s had fought and had died for what they thought was right, to protect our freedom, as well as, our constitutional rights.
Somewhere in time, the translations had gotten lost, and now we the people are paying the cost.
This cost may be greater then we can ever imagine, and now we wonder what the hell had happened or had changed.
This system of justice has become a farce of hypocrisy of ideological ideas for the courts, agencies, and the system, in which is now conveniently re-arranged.
This system has lost the idea or concept, in which they so easily forget, that we are all equal under the law, and due process is allowed for those all.
As we as I.F.F.O.C. (Independent Federal Fund Oversight Committee) and K.C.E.A.J. (Kansas Citizens for Equal Access to Justice) monitor these courts, agencies, and Federal Funds, they receive, and I.F.F.O.C. has discovered, “Oh what a web they weave when they practice to deceive.”
This is not about mothers’ or fathers’ rights being violated, as a separate group, this is about the monies these courts, agencies, and system can recoup.
Somehow they had found a way to replace our constitutional rights with corporate and administrative laws, in which gives them the power to control, and they have basically traded their souls, in which we the people are now paying the toll.
We are losing our children and families to this corruption, and in the mist of all this there is a silent eruption.
These are individual groups of people getting together to assist those caught up in this corrupt system of justice, in which is conveniently ignoring our constitutional rights to our families, our children for profits and greed, in which leaves little doubt, this is the reason these groups are starting to enjoin, to find a way to assist others and attempt to weed this type of corruption out.
Due to each states regulations of practicing law without a license, they are putting their lives as freedom fighters on the line, to protect those who cannot find a way out, or conveniently left behind.
We are America, united we stand, these people who are in desperate need, we are here to give you a hand.
When this system is protecting those who create these loopholes in the system for greedy attorneys, courts, agencies, we step up to protect those who are caught up in this evil hypocrisy.
Our Courts
Our Courts were set up for equal access and protection and due process for all, not to let others take the fall.
Somewhere, our courts have discovered profits and greed, and they no longer have integrity, they only protect their own and run us through an administrative remedy, for plausible denial ability.
They have found a way to separate our courts in domestic cases, so the other court has no reality of what actually transpired, in which they find a way to interfere with parental rights, during this long drawn out fight.
Their intention is to get you mad, upset, or angry to a point you cannot control your actions and emotions, this gives them the upper hand in which they obtain control of your case, or your cause of action, do not give them the satisfaction.
Do not feed them the fuel for their fire, this is their actual desire.
They will play with your emotions, you heart, and most of your entire mind, Keep calm, Keep focused, and remember to document all of the time, to protect your own peace of mind.
Attempt to use their own tactics against them as your psychology, this will erupt their own hypocrisy.
They do not even follow their own statutes, laws, or even their own codes, but document this for your own peace of hope.
This may assist you in your appeal that they did not follow legislative intent, this is the message you wish to be sent.
These judges and Attorneys (Labeled as Officers of the Court) had taken an oath to uphold the laws and protect our constitutional rights, when did this idea get lost in the night.
These Agencies
These agencies are subcontracted out by SRS, DFS, or family services, in which had started from a grant to document records for each state, and this is what created our bad fate.
They began to create corporations in our system of justice, and somewhere in the mist of fog and despair of all this greed in which created a financial institution, this is where we lost our basic due process or parental rights, as defined in our U.S. Constitution.
These agencies have been known to falsify documents, commit perjury, conceal, and also commit fraud, to protect their corporate greed, funds, and the profits they make, caught up in this corruption is where most people hesitate.
They average citizen is caught up in their fight, as they continue to keep you on a defensive position, and attempt to destroy you in every situation,
You have to make good decisions, and ask the right questions to figure out their strategy and they way they attempt to sway the court, due to your anger and frustration, you have to make the best of every decision and situation.
These agencies are out for profit using your child, do not let the situation get out of control or wild, make excellent decisions and most of all act with care and precision.
The System
You have to remember these are greedy people fighting for profits, using their pretense is that their looking out for the best interest of our children, this is a farce, we have seen it all too well, this is the truth we want you to see and tell.
People are under the impression that this system is out to assist and protect families in need of care, when in actuality they are never there.
Once you get passed the concept that they do not care, and want to share (the huge Profits), in which they make, then you will see pass the hurt families, children, mothers, and fathers they forsake.
If you get caught up in this system of these evil people who act as a leach, then you will also want to protect those who stumble at their feet, and this will hopefully make you learn the truth, as well, learn to teach,
United we Stand, United we fall, do not let others get placed upon this evil wall.

School Dist. Lawyer Suspended With Pay, re Claimed Failure to Tell Police of Touch Incident
Posted Sep 9, 2010 5:07 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A school district lawyer in North Carolina has been suspended, with pay, amidst allegations that he may have played a key role in the district's reported failure to notify law enforcement authorities, as required by state law, of allegations of improper conduct toward a student by a teacher. Authorities are now investigating an incident months ago in which a teacher allegedly touched a student's leg, reports the Winston-Salem Journal. The principal at the school reported the incident to the district's lawyer, Drew Davis, according to the principal's lawyer, David Freedman. However, Davis told the principal to do nothing further, Freedman contends. Davis, declined to comment, the newspaper says. The school district is changing its reporting policy and from now on principals at schools to which a police officer is assigned will report such incidents directly to the officer.
Mr. Price, President of I.F.F.O.C. (Independent Federal Fund Oversight Committee) and K.C.E.A.J. (Kansas Citizens for Equal Access to Justice) thinks this gives new definition to the no child left behind policy. Evidently, the schools are still under the protection of each state and believe what the parent doesn’t know will not hurt them. Better defined as, plausible denial ability. Administration and their own policies, the art of confusion is illusion. Somewhere are children are not getting the right message and ideas from the Department of Education’s confusion and their own policies, Which now bring to question getting back to the basic education, and less academic credits, and more basic credits, to assist our children in achieving their educative goals.

Administration and their own policies, the art of confusion is illusion. Somewhere are children are not getting the right message and ideas from the Department of Education’s confusion and their own policies, Which now bring to question getting back to the basic education, and less academic credits, and more basic credits, to assist our children in achieving their educative goals.

GW Law Prof Promises Airing of Undisclosed ‘Critical Facts’ in Judge’s Impeachment Trial

A George Washington University law professor will be leading the defense for U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous Jr. when the first phase of his impeachment trial begins next week before a special U.S. Senate Committee. Lead defense lawyer Jonathan Turley told the National Law Journal in an e-mail that the trial will “include critical facts that were never disclosed to the members of the House before the impeachment." Porteous, a New Orleans judge, is accused of corruption on the federal and state bench, including allegations that he participated in a kickback scheme with a law firm, the story says. The trial will be the first for a member of the federal judiciary since 1989. Porteous is also represented by Bryan Cave partner Daniel Schwartz and associates P.J. Meitl and Daniel O'Connor. They contend Porteous doesn't deserve removal for his conduct, and the charges are exaggerated or taken out of context. The defense lawyers also question the propriety of trying Porteous for conduct that occurred before he became a federal judge, and claim the FBI was aware of the allegations before Porteous was confirmed to the U.S. district court.
