LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A federal judge has halted his order blocking Arkansas from enforcing a law that prevents
candidates for state office from accepting campaign contributions more than two years before an election.
U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr. on Wednesday granted Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's request to stay his
preliminary injunction against the law while Rutledge appeals his decision. Moody issued the preliminary injunction
blocking the law on Monday.
Attorneys for Peggy Jones, the Pulaski County woman who sued over the restriction, have said the blackout period
prevents her from exercising her First Amendment right to contribute money to candidates she wishes to support in the
2022 election.

Final Edition EDITION
A POOR WAY TO PICK JUDGES

SECTION: PERSPECTIVE; Pg. A8
LENGTH: 532 words
LEADIN:
THE ISSUE:
A Supreme Court race exposes the political machinations behind judicial nominations.
THE STAKES:
Other states have found ways to reduce, if not eliminate, the horse trading. New York ought to consider them.
New York's Supreme Court system has roots that go back more than 300 years to a time when this state was a British
province. To look at how justices are chosen today, one might thing we're living in a similarly bygone imperial era.
Oh, it has the trappings of democracy, a primary of sorts, and a general election. But don't be fooled: The selection of
judges in New York rests largely with a handful of political party bosses.
Voters in the Third Judicial District, which covers seven counties from the mid-Hudson Valley to the Capital Region, are
getting a less-than-flattering glimpse of that process in this year's races for three judgeships. Of particular interest is the
one race without an incumbent; the current justice, Richard Mott, is approaching the mandatory retirement age of 70.
The judicial candidates who appear on the November general election ballot will be picked by delegates at judicial
nominating conventions in August. Those delegates, though, tend to defer to the wishes of their party bosses, who
typically have hatched their own private agreements on how judgeships are divvied up, based mainly on their
geographic political power. Some choice for voters, huh?
The result certainly hasn't been a diverse bench. Of the 18 Supreme Court judges in the district, only three are women,
one of whom is the only African-American. The rest are white men.
It seemed earlier this year that Democrats would nominate another woman, Cheryl Roberts, an attorney and former
town justice from Columbia County, to replace Justice Mott, in keeping with their practice of replacing an outgoing
justice with one from the same county. But it looks as if Ms. Roberts will be passed over for Albany County Democratic
leader Jack Flynn's favorite, Albany attorney Justin Corcoran. Mr. Corcoran lost a Supreme Court race in 2014 to
Republican Lisa Fisher of Greene County; Mr. Flynn wants his pick to get another shot. It's causing political bad blood
within the Democratic party, and with the progressive Working Families Party, which favors Ms. Roberts.
If the convention process was supposed to give New Yorkers independent candidates selected by a gathering of
thoughtful community leaders out of the political back rooms, that's clearly not what they're getting here.
There are other ways to do this. Some states use merit selection, as New York does for its highest court, the Court of
Appeals, with a committee vetting candidates and presenting a panel of candidates to the governor for appointment.
Some hold nonpartisan judicial elections. Some use "assisted appointment," through which judges are appointed by the
governor but must run for office after the initial term runs out, giving voters a chance to weigh the judges' performance
on the bench.
Page 16
A POOR WAY TO PICK JUDGES The Times-Union (Albany, NY) June 19, 2019 Wednesday
It's time New York reconsidered its system of selecting judges. Even more, as the wheeling and dealing in this year's
Third Judicial District election shows, it's way past time.

OUTSIDE OPINION
SECTION: OPINIONS; Pg. 4A
LENGTH: 516 words
There are plenty of good reasons to oppose a nominee to the federal court bench. Effectiveness in representing a client
should not be one of them.
President Donald Trump hoped to continue his admirable streak of filling federal judicial openings with competent,
respected jurists when he named attorney Michael Bogren to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Michigan.
Bogren is a conservative with an impressive career as an attorney. His name was forwarded by a bipartisan search
committee and was endorsed by both of Michigan's Democratic senators, not an easy get these days for a Republican
nominee.
But his confirmation was derailed by a GOP senator who objected to Bogren's vigorous defense of a client, the city of
East Lansing, against a charge of religious discrimination. The suit was brought by a Catholic farmer who was barred
from the city's open-air market because he voiced his opposition to gay marriage, saying he wouldn't host a gay
wedding on his farm if asked.
We supported the farmer's position, on the grounds that he should not be required to abandon his religious beliefs to sell
vegetables in a public market. Those who objected to his stance could simply walk by his stand.
Bogren argued in the case that, "there can be no constitutionally sound argument that sincerely held religious beliefs
would permit a secular business to avoid the prohibitions against racial discrimination or gender discrimination found in
federal, state and local laws."
He added that if a Ku Klux Klan member who opposed inter-racial marriage did what the farmer did, he would not be
able to invoke the First Amendment to avoid anti-discrimination statutes.
It was a good defense.
But his remarks were seized upon by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, and other GOP senators and twisted to imply that
Bogren was lumping Catholics into the same category as Klansmen. Religious groups flooded the White House with
protest letters, and this week Bogren withdrew his name from consideration.
Bogren is the victim of a sleazy character attack. He is not anti-Catholic. He was simply doing his job as the ethics
rules governing lawyers require - "zealously advocate the client's best interest."
Hawley is apparently unfamiliar with John Adams. America's second president took grief for representing the British
soldiers who carried out the Boston massacre in 1770, but that didn't keep him from assuming his role as a Founding
Father and leader of the independence movement.
Hawley's motives may not be entirely pure. The Missouri senator has a long association with the Alliance Defending
Freedom, the group that is supporting the farmer in the case, and was a paid speaker at one of their events when he was
a law professor.
Page 21
Applying political litmus tests to judicial nominees is something Democrats do. Republicans should know better. That
they did it to one of their own is particularly offensive.
Bogren was an excellent pick made by a Republican president who may not have much time left to put his stamp on the
federal courts. Neither Bogren nor Trump should have been treated this way.

Kemp said. "Now, I am honored to appoint her to the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit Superior Court where I am confident
that she will govern her courtroom with the utmost integrity and impartiality."
Whitner graduated from Howard University, where she received both her bachelor's and law degree, then served as an
attorney and earned the rank of captain in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard.
Following her military service, Whitner prosecuted cases for the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Justice and then the
Florida Office of the Attorney General, then represented clients through the Savannah Office of the Public Defender.
She also served as a staff attorney for the Chatham County Juvenile Court.
From 2009 to 2011, Whitner was a solo practitioner at the Whitner Law Firm, later becoming the managing partner of
Porter and Whitner Law Group, P.C.
She previously served as an associate judge for the Municipal Court of Snellville prior to her most recent work as a
Gwinnett juvenile court judge.
Whitner is a member of Leadership Georgia's Class of 2019 and is involved in the Air Force Association, Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Georgia Association of Women Attorneys, Gwinnett County Bar Association, National Council of
Negro Women and United Way of Greater Atlanta.
She is also a graduate of Leadership Gwinnett's Class of 2018. Whitner lives in Lawrenceville with her husband and
two children.

ADVOCATES FOR KIDS Four new Court-Appointed Speicial Advocates sworn

in by Probate judges

They 're mothers, bus drivers, law students and budding medical professionals.
They've taken vastly different career paths, but share a common goal: being advocates for the area's most vulnerable
children.
Four new Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) were sworn in by Monroe County Probate judges during the
27th new member ceremony held Monday afternoon at the courthouse.
"The work that you all are doing, the time and treasures that you're sharing, is truly invaluable," said Stephanie Carlton,
CASA director. "Thank you for all of your work that's yet to come."
In Monroe County, about 150 children are placed in foster care each year. That often means children must attend court
while waiting to be placed in a forever home.
CASAs advocate for those child victims to ensure they're supported throughout court proceedings. The volunteers are
ordinary citizens who are pre-screened and given about 33 hours of training before they're sworn-in as CASAs.
Along with providing advocacy, CASAs collect information and provide recommendations to the judge assigned to
their case. They stay with the children until they're placed in a safe home.
"To really affect change for people, we need helping hands," said Chief Probate Court Judge Cheryl E. Lohmeyer. "We
need all of the great helpers in the community to wrap their arms around these children in need.
"I'm just in awe by all of the kindness CASAs have offered over the past 20 years."
MALEIGHA JACKSON
Lohmeyer was particularly excited to administer Maleigha Jackson's oath of office. Not only is Jackson excited about
the work, she's also the judge's law clerk.
Jackson, 22, who graduated from Michigan State University (MSU), East Lansing, with a degree in social work, aims
to pursue a career in juvenile and family law. She also works as a juvenile detention specialist at the Monroe County
Youth Center.
"My ultimate goal is to become a child advocate," said Jackson of Carleton. "CASA is just another way for me to fully
understand child welfare and the criminal justice system."
In August, Jackson will continue her studies at MSU to pursue a law degree.
KATHRYN "KATIE" LASICH
A Trenton resident, Katie Lasich traveled from Wayne County to become a CASA because she liked Monroe's program.
Page 31

News (Michigan) June 18, 2019 Tuesday
Lasich, 23, who is pursuing her Master's degree in public health from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, said she
previously advocated for CASA as part of her sorority's service project.
"CASA training was super helpful broadening my public health perspective and what it's like to be a child in foster
care," Lasich said. "I learned a lot from the other volunteers, as well as from the training itself."
She aims to pursue a career in the medical field.
KRISTI PEPPER
A bus driver for the Monroe County Intermediate School District, Kristi Pepper has dedicated years to the county's
children particularly preschoolers in the ISD's Head Start program.
Throughout her time working with students from low-income families, Pepper said she has connected with many
children who could benefit from the support of someone like a CASA.
"After so many years of seeing things I'm not happy with, I wanted to be on the side of helping a child," said Pepper of
Monroe. "There's a lot of need here in Monroe County."
Also a volunteer at the Oaks of Righteousness shelter, Pepper said she's inspired by the bright futures of little ones.
SHERRI SHOTWELL
After adopting three children a 9-year-old son and 3-year-old twins Sherri Shotwell decided it was time to advocate
for children in another capacity.
"I wanted to continue to give back even though my home is full now," said Shotwell of Monroe. "It's all about the kids.
I just want to be there for them in any capacity."
Already familiar with the foster care system through her personal journey, Shotwell said becoming a CASA was a
natural fit.
As if being a full time mom and new child advocate isn't enough, Shotwell also works as a real estate agent.

Judge says no to G. Norcross' bid to halt tax-incentives probe

BYLINE: Andrew Seidman STAFF WRITER
SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 2
LENGTH: 1159 words
TRENTON - A New Jersey judge on Monday refused to grant a request by South Jersey Democratic power broker
George E. Norcross III to halt an inquiry launched by Gov. Phil Murphy into the state's tax incentive programs.
Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson said atask force appointed by Murphy may continue its investigation into the
state Economic Development Authority's administration of the multibillion-dollar programs, and suggested it was
"absurd" to think the governor lacked authority to probe such an important entity.
The task force has been investigating in part whether companies tied to Norcross misled the EDA about plans to move
jobs out of New Jersey if they weren't awarded tax credits. Norcross and the companies have said they did nothing
wrong.
In 2017, the EDA awarded $245 million in tax credits to Nor-cross' insurance brokerage, Conner Strong & Buckelew,
and two other companies to build an office tower on the Camden waterfront. The companies also pledged to bring jobs
to the city.
Norcross sued last month seeking to disband the task force, arguing that Murphy, a Democrat, lacked the authority to
create it.
The task force was to hold another public hearing and release a report about its initial findings this week, but it delayed
those plans after Norcross asked the judge for a preliminary injunction until she could rule on the litigation.
"Frankly, the public interest is that this task force be allowed to report before there's a vote in the Legislature," Jacobson
said, reading her opinion from the bench.
"It may not affect the legislators one way or the other," she said, noting that the incentives programs expire July 1. But
she added, "I think the public has the right to know what the task force has found so they can contact their legislators."
Shortly after Jacobson announced her decision, the task force released its report. It said companies linked to Norcross
were awarded tens of millions of dollars more than they would have been had the EDA conducted better due diligence.
In a statement Monday evening, aspokesperson for Nor-cross and the other plaintiffs said: "Our litigation has never
been about blocking an investigation, but rather to ensure that the Governor's Task Force gave each firm basic due
process rights, including the opportunity to present fully the facts about their companies, their applications, and their
decisions to move to Camden. Each of these companies has only ever requested a fair hearing and it is clear that was
never going to happen with the Governor's Task Force."
The statement said the plaintiffs intended to participate in the Legislature's review of the incentive programs. It said they
would "fully cooperate in their review just as we are already cooperating with the state Attorney General's office in its
inquiry."
"There is a great story to tell about Camden, why these firms are moving or expanding there, and the process each
followed to be approved for tax incentives," the statement said.
Page 34
In court on Monday, Norcross and other plaintiffs argued they would face irreparable harm to their reputations if the
task force proceeds. Norcross' lawyers say the task force and news media have portrayed him and others as having
defrauded taxpayers.
Murphy's lawyers countered that the governor had the power to create the task force and that ruling in Norcross' favor
would hinder deliberations among the governor and lawmakers over how they should change the incentives programs
before they expire in two weeks.
The judge expressed skepticism over the idea that Murphy lacked the authority to investigate the EDA, noting he has
the power to veto its board votes.
"There's a certain absurdity in" that line of thinking, she said during more than three hours of oral argument.
TheEDA is"important tothe operation of state government and state policy and so forth," Jacobson added. "It's
somewhat counterintuitive to think the governor didn't have investigatory powers to look into problems" that had been
identified by the state auditor and later the comptroller.
Michael Critchley, an attorney for Norcross, conceded that might be true. But he argued the Legislature established the
EDA as an independent entity insulated from gubernatorial investigations.
Critchley pointed to a similar agency, the Council on Affordable Housing, which then-Gov. Chris Christie tried to
abolish.
The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that Christie didn't have the power to do so.
Jacobson said she wasn't persuaded by that argument.
Monday's hearing came amid mounting tensions between Murphy and the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
Lawmakers are vowing to send Murphy a budget that does not include the governor's request for higher taxes on
millionaires. The budget must be signed into law by the end of the month to avoid a government shutdown.
Democratic lawmakers also are considering legislation that would temporarily extend the same tax-incentive programs
now under scrutiny. Murphy has vowed to veto that.
Ted Wells, Murphy's lead outside counsel, said that granting the injunction would be a "radical, unprecedented" move
that would unleash chaos in government.
"If they're right, any citizen cannot not only hold up a task force, they can hold up a legislative hearing," Wells told the
judge. "They are talking about a radical change in how government operates."
Joining Norcross in the lawsuit were Conner Strong and its business partners, the Michaels Organization and NFI;
Cooper University Health Care, for which Nor-cross chairs the board of trustees; and Parker McCay, a law firm whose
chief executive is Nor-cross' brother Philip.
To win an injunction, Norcross needed to show he was likely to win the lawsuit on the merits of the case. His lawyers
said they had met that threshold by showing that the EDA, by statute, is an independent entity.
In any case, the true subjects of the task force's investigation are the plaintiffs - not the EDA, Nor-cross' attorneys say.
They added that such an inquiry would be proper for the attorney general, not the task force.
"They're saying, 'All Norcross wants to do is stop an investigation.' That's absurd. That's absurd," Critchley told the
judge. "What we're saying is: What we don't have a lack of in New Jersey are investigative agencies."
Norcross also alleged that the task force has violated his constitutional rights to free speech and due process, because
the task force didn't give him a meaningful opportunity to cross-examine witnesses and present evidence.
Murphy's lawyers countered that the law and state constitution give the governor broad authority over state agencies and
officials.
In addition, the task force offered Norcross and the companies an opportunity to testify and file a statement of facts
under oath, undercutting their due process arguments, Murphy's lawyers said.
Jacobson said that she was concerned about issues of fairness but that they did not merit an injunction.

Federal lawsuit aims to keep term-limited incumbents on ballot

BYLINE: Brian Louwers
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 653 words
The effort to keep four term-limited Warren City Council incumbents on the ballot this year has now moved to federal
court.
Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court June 15 on behalf of four Warren
residents, effectively asking a federal judge to order Warren election officials to place Council members Robert
Boccomino, Cecil St. Pierre, Scott Stevens and Steven Warner back on the 2019 ballot.
Boccomino, St. Pierre, Stevens and Warner were excluded earlier this month after Macomb County Circuit Court
Judge James Maceroni ruled that the city's term limits provision made them ineligible to seek re-election to the council.
The decision was later overturned by the Michigan Court of Appeals, but it was unanimously upheld last week by the
Michigan Supreme Court.
The latest filing names residents Sallie Hock, Jason McClanahan, Clifford Frost and Darrell Vickers as plaintiffs, and it
alleges due process violations in its claims that City Clerk Sonja Buffa and the Warren Election Commission
"significantly departed from their previous years-long state (municipal) election practice, which had been affirmed by
the Macomb Circuit Court and Michigan Court of Appeals in 2015 -- specifically, how they determined eligibility for
City Council candidates under the Warren City Charter rules on term limits -- by unexpectedly striking candidates Cecil
St. Pierre, Robert Boccomino, Steven Warner and Scott Stevens."
The lawsuit adds that the four candidates are "politically associated" with the plaintiffs and represent the plaintiffs'
"deeply held political beliefs on the proper governance of the city of Warren."
The complaint was accompanied by a list of attachments, including signed statements from all four candidates and the
four plaintiffs.
In her affidavit, Hock said she has come to know and support Stevens and that "he represents my political views and
ideas on how Warren should be governed, through actions and experience that others on the ballot do not."
She pointed out that in the past, as a result of decisions by Warren's city former clerk, past city attorney and a Macomb
County Circuit Court judge, candidates had been allowed to serve more than 12 years in total on the council if they
served in district and at-large seats.
"If I knew the rule was going to be changed by a new court ruling this year, I would have worked with friends and
neighbors to find a candidate like Scott Stevens who supports our political views on city of Warren topics such as taxes,
police protection and the role of the mayor," Hock said in her statement. "I would have even considered running
myself."
Warren voters established term limits in 1998 as three four-year terms for all city elected offices. In December 2014,
former Warren City Attorney David Griem said that the city's voters created a "bicameral legislature" when they
approved a charter amendment that trimmed the council from nine to seven members spread across district and at-large
seats in 2010. As a result, Griem opined that council members should be eligible to serve three terms in a district and
Page 42
Federal lawsuit aims to keep term-limited incumbents on ballot Warren Weekly (Michigan) 18 June 2019
three terms in an at-large seat. Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Dianne Druzinski ruled against a challenge of
Griem's opinion filed in 2015.
The latest state court challenge was filed by current at-large Warren City Council candidate Connor Berdy. His attorney,
Jim Kelly, argued that Griem's ruling was wrong. He applauded the decision of the Michigan Supreme Court that
deemed the candidates ineligible.
"Every judge who has looked at this case has concluded the Warren City Attorney was wrong to conclude the City
Council is a bicameral legislature," Kelly said.
The city has hired the Berry Moorman P.C. law firm to represent its elections officials in federal court. A hearing has
been scheduled for 11:30 a.m. June 20 before U.S. District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani in Detroit.

In SDNY Malick Keita Was Charged With Bank Fraud In February Under Seal Now Public Via Inner City Press
By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive; Video, pics
SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 17 - A case of bank fraud was signed as a sealed complaint against Malick Keita and Sadi
Fofana back on 11 February 2018 by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Kevin
Nathaniel Fox.
It was impossible to know of it. Until without fanfare on June 14, make public June 17 and first reported here by Inner
City Press, it was converted into a formal "information" and assigned to SDNY Judge Denise L. Cote. In this filing,
only Keita is named. Murky Mag court, indeed....
Jamal Deese "ignited a fire in a restaurant located at 616 8th Avenue in Manhattan" on 5 August 2018, U.S. Attorney
Geoffrey Berman alleged on four days after the fire.
On June 17 Berman's Assistant US Attorney's appeared before a distracted SDNY Judge Berman with a deferred
prosecution deal of the kind that HSBC Bank got for laundering money for drug cartels. Judge Berman after a lengthy
proceeding urging an SDNY cooperating witness to use the $16,000 given to him to move to Philadelphia referred the
matter to the week's Magistrate Judge - who signed off in an illegible signature with no other publicly available cases
for the day. See @InnerCityPress and the new @SDNYLive. The case is, or was, 19-cr-22...
Also on June 17, a sentencing of a defendant seeking time served, seemingly for cooperation with the government, was
abruptly declared "sealed" by SDNY Judge Lorna G. Schofield on June 17.
She said she was going to seal the transcript, but that once this reporter walked into her open courtroom 1106 in 40
Foley Square, she moved the entire proceeding into her robing room, closed to the Press and public.
When she and the shackled defendant, Assistant US Attorneys and US Marshals emerged twenty minutes later, Judge
Schofield said only, "We're adjourned." There was no disclosure of the outcome of the proceeding - as Inner City Press
walked in, the defendant's lawyer was asking for time served."
Then Judge Schofield said she wanted to "shake hands with our visitors" and proceeded to do just that with the two
other people in the gallery. Inner City Press left.
No one where on the electronic board in the SDNY lobby at 500 Pearl Street was any proceeding before Judge
Schofield at that time list. Nor in the day's PACER calendar.
So it is both a confidential sentencing, and a confidential case?
Page 45
Judge Schofield's Rules for Criminal Cases, ironically, provide that there is a presumption that all sentencing
submissions are public, and that if anything is redacted only those pages with redactions can be withheld from the
public docket.
But no such distinction is possible when an entire proceeding is moved into the judge's robing room barred to the press
and public, with no notice or opportunity to be heard. Inner City Press will have more on this - see also
@InnerCityPress and the new @SDNYLIVE.
Before Judge Schofield: Steven M. Calk of FDIC-regulated Federal Savings Bank was presented and arraigned on May
23 for financial institution bribery for corruptly using his position with FSB to issue $16 million in high-risk loans to
Paul Manafort in a bid to obtain a senior position with the Trump administration, namely Undersecretary of the Army.
Back on May 23 Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman accepted the government's proposal of $5 million bond with no co-
signer (although that is usually required for moral suasion) and travel allowed throughout the United States (though
more defendants are usually confined to the Soutern and Eastern District of NY and one other district). Money talks.
Afterward in front of the SDNY courthouse Inner City Press asked Calk's lawyers Daniel Stein and Jeremy Margoles
about Manafort saying he had misstated his financial situation to get the FSB loans. When did Calk know? They did not
answer. Video here, Facebook video here. Inner City Press' Alamy photos here.
Now in May 28 letter to District Judge Lorna G. Schofield, the government has requested the motions directed of their
indictment of Calk be filed by July 12. Judge Schofield granted it only in part, saying that by June 21 Calk "shall file a
pre-motion letter with a briefing description of any motion(s) he intends to file." While the OCC has yet to sufficiently
answer, and is trying to hinder Inner City Press' reporting, we will stay on this case.
On May 23, still from the SDNY courthouse covering other cases including one involving the death penalty, Inner City
Press reported finding no U.S. Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for "Federal Savings Bank." But there's more.
The Federal Savings Bank's website, while providing a generic link to the FDIC, and a statement "Member FDIC," has
no link for the U.S. Community Reinvestment Act. (Nor does it mention the indictment of Stephen Calk, simply listing
his brother John Calk now as CEO and Vice Chairman. Who is the chairman?)
It lists a loan production office on Avenue J in Brooklyn, and two deposit taking braches in Illinois. Did it see some
exemption from the CRA and other consumer protection laws? From fair lending laws?
Earlier on the morning of May 24 Inner City Press asked the FDIC, "Having covered yesterday's arraignment of the
Chairman of The Federal Savings Bank in the SDNY courthouse, including the FDIC's involvement, I checked the
bank's website and found "Member FDIC" but no mention of the Community Reinvestment Act."
The FDIC's spokesperson David Barr, to his credit, responded quickly, writing to Inner City Press: "The Federal
Savings Bank, Chicago, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. They would be responsible for
CRA and regulatory oversight. You should contact the OCC for more information."
Now the OCC under Comptroller Joseph Otting has done everything possible to block the release of information,
denying FOIA fees waivers and expedited treatment, refusing comments. But for now online the OCC has said this
about The Federal Savings Bank: "While TFSB originated a substantial majority of its loans outside of its AAs; the
bank's business strategy is to operate as a mortgage banking entity with a nationwide presence and market place. Taking
the bank's business strategy into consideration the bank's performance under this lending criterion is deemed
reasonable." Reasonable? Bribery, too, seems to have been part of its business strategy, right under the nose of the OCC
of Otting.
Before 2 pm on May 24 Inner City Press in writing asked Otting's OCC: "This is a Press question for the OCC, from
Inner City Press... Please confirm that The Federal Savings Bank is subject to HMDA, and/or if it is below a threshold,
as I can find no data in its name on FFIEC.gov. Also, please today provide as an OCC response to the Press this OCC-
regulated bank's CRA public file and other information in the OCC's possession concerning the bank's CRA and fair
lending performance. Is it normal for a bank not to mention these things on its website, nor to provide any link to its
actual regulator, the OCC, but only to the FDIC? Please explain what steps the OCC is taking beyond Stephen Calk
no longer being the CEO. What about his brother?"
More than three hours later, even to the questions at the end, the OCC had only provided this: "We are reviewing your
questions, but we may not be able to respond by your deadline. Regards, Stephanie Stephanie Collins Manager,
Page 46
Media Relations Public Affairs Operations Office of the Comptroller of the Currency." This is the same OCC which
has delayed FOR MONTHS providing basic information about a merger it has now already rubber stamped.
On the morning of May 28 Inner City Press received from the OCC a statement that The Federal Savings Banks is
subject to HMDA - how they are listed in the HMDA database remains a question - and this: "Question: Is it normal for
a bank not to mention these things [CRA and HMDA] on its website, nor to provide any link to its actual regulator, the
OCC, but only to the FDIC? [OCC answer:] This question is best directed to the bank."
So wait: Otting's OCC leaves it entirely up to the banks it ostensibly regulates whether to mention on their website and
presumably branches CRA, HMDA or even the OCC where consumers could complain? We'll have more on this.
Stephen Calk was quoted, at least in 2012, opposing regulation: "As Mr. Stephen Calk writes in the September 7, 2012
edition of Origination News: "Basel III is designed to level the playing field among major banking institutions that
operate internationally. Force-feeding these same rules to community banks in the United States is unnecessary and in
fact counter-productive, particularly in the current economic environment." Basel III is one thing. But no Community
Reinvestment Act?
The Federal Savings Bank lists locations - and bankers - in Arizona - Scottsdale California - Irvine Colorado - Fort
Collins Delaware - Selbyville Florida - Sarasota Illinois - Chicago Illinois - Lake Forest Illinois - Oak Brook Illinois -
Park Ridge Indiana - Bloomington Indiana - Indianapolis Kansas - Overland Park Louisiana - Laplace Maryland -
Annapolis Maryland - Timonium CD Massachusetts - Lawrence New Jersey - Hackensack New Jersey - Lakewood
New York - Brooklyn New York - Melville New York - New York New York - Queens North Carolina - Raleigh Ohio -
Columbus Rhode Island - South Kingstown Tennessee - Nashville Virginia - Alexandria Virginia - Fredericksburg
Virginia - Newport News Virginia - Richmond Virginia - Vienna Virginia - Warrenton... We'll have more on this.
In the indictment press release, FDIC OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Patricia Tarasca said, "Today's indictment charges
Stephen Calk with misusing his position as Chairman and CEO of a bank for his own personal gain. The FDIC Office
of Inspector General remains committed to investigating cases where bank officials cause multimillion-dollar losses to a
financial institution and undermine its integrity." (The FDIC stands to be the lead regulator of BB&T whose money
laundering enforcement action was just terminated by the Federal Reserve to facilitate merger with Suntrust, click here
for that and Inner City Press' FOIA request and appeal.)
The indictment was unsealed the day after President Donald J. Trump lost his bid to stay the House of Representatives'
subpoenas to two other banks, Capital One and Deutsche Bank. After the May 22 ruling in Trump v. Deutsche Bank by
SDNY Judge Edgardo Ramos, Trump lawyer Patrick Strawbridge headed to the elevators in the windowless lobby
outside the courtroom.
He was disinclined to comment and even take questions from the press. When reporters got on the elevator with him, he
got off, saying sacrastically but not bitterly, Much as I'd like to be asked questions in the elevator...
Downstairs in front of the Thurgood Marshall courthouse there were demonstrators will a long Impeach Trump banner
and the small black Congress Has A Right To Know signs, three of which had been quickly raised in the courtroom, and
just as quickly taken down when Judge Ramos requested it.
The SDNY Court Security Officers spoke to the sign holders but did not eject them, during the 10 minute recess Judge
Ramos took to put the finishing touches on his 25-page decision.
TV crews from CNN and Univision were set up across the street, and a gaggle of photographers set up on the sidewalk
to wait for Strawbridge and the House of Representatives' lawyer Douglas Letter. As time passed others passing the
courthouse, and coming out of it, stopped to ask as so often happens, Who are you waiting for?
While few had heard of Strawbridge and the House lawyer named Letter, the mention of Trump drew a range of
reactions. The sight of long lens cameras -- Inner City Press had this day retrieved it, from the seemingly overflow Press
Room in the basement of 40 Foley Square -- attracted others with cases in the SDNY.
Accompanied by a trio of children in wheelchairs on a day when the disabled entrance on Pearl Street to the Thurgood
Marshall courthouse was closed were lawyers in Abrams et al v. Carranza, one in a series of Federal lawsuits against
campaigning NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's Education Chancellor RIchard Carranza. They had a flier and expressed hope
that SDNY Judge Alison Nathan would, as indicted, issue a ruling in their case within the week.
Page 47
Other litigatants were less media savvy or directed. Those in a criminal trial before Judge Vernon Broderick admitted
the case made it hard for even them to stay awake -- Inner City Press has tried several times -- but noted that the U.S.
Attorney's office promotes the prosecution each morning in an e-mail.
The plaintiff side in an employment discrimination trial in front of Judge Valerie Caproni came out (the defense may
have been less willing to approach the press), then Judge Broderick himself, down to earth as ever. It was growing late.
To put its camera back in the 40 Foley press room, Inner City Press climbed the stairs only to be told, We close at five.
Explaining that there is a Press Room next to the cafeteria and that the Trump case had done later was at first to no
avail. Finally a supervisor was called who did not acknowledge any right to enter, but said he would allow it this one
time. We may have more on this: even in the small strokes, press access rights are important, particularly in a
courthouse.

Earlier, before issuing his ruling Judge Edgardo Ramos had asked the lawyers for the two banks that got the subpoenas,
Deutsche Bank and Capital One, if they wanted to speak. They did not. This even as House counsel Strawbridge
detailed Deutsche Bank's long history with money laundering (and theft during the Holocaust, which didn't come up).
Capital One is a rough, too, on predatory auto lending and the Community Reinvestment Act. But the banks lay low.
Now under Judge Ramos' 25-page ruling, the banks become required to respond to the subpoenas in seven days, on May
29. That's the time during which the House has agreed not to enforce the subpoena, and the time during which Trump's
lawyers seem certain to file an appeal and ask again for a stay from the Second Circuit Count of Appeals higher up, in
both senses, in 40 Foley Square.
Earlier still in the May in the SDNY, Congressman Christopher Collins (R-NY) waived his right to be present for a May
3 hearing in the criminal insider trading case against him held past 5 pm in the SDNY courtroom of Judge Broderick.
On May 10, Judge Broderick started on l'affaire Collins at 2 pm, after a case against BuzzFeed (Inner City Press
coverage here). Early in the proceeding, before two shackled inmates were led in leading to a brief suspension of the
white shoe SEC Congressman matter, Broderick made a joke about Donald Trump and evasive legal moves. I'm not
going there, said one of the participants in Collins, who was an early endorser of Trump. Broderick said, "I should have
either - but it is what it is."
Three hours later, during which Inner City Press in full disclosure went one story down in the courthouse to cover a
Fatico hearing about threats in the MCC, Judge Broderick was setting the time for Collins' lawyers to make motions. He
arrived on four weeks after he rules on discovery, with the SEC to provide whatever he directs to the defense one week
after the ruling. I'm not saying you're going to get anything, Judge Broderick said. Collins' lead lawyer said he is a
optimist. More on Patreon; watch this site.
Collins' team of lawyers have made a slew of suggestions to Judge Broderick on what discovery to seek from the U.S.
Attorney's office, from communications with the SEC to information about real estate, Cameron Collins and Lauren
Zarsky and their sales of Immunotherapeutics stock after MIS416, aimed at secondary multiple sclerosis, failed the
Drug Trial and Rep Collins made his calls from the White House Congressional picnic.
On May 3 Judge Broderick was urging wide disclosure by the government, whether characterized as 3500 material or
under Brady or Giglio. The notes to be produced, he said, didn't have to been entirely contemporaneous. He had a series
of questions for the U.S. Attorney which he did not get through as it approached 6 p.m. and his courtroom deputy had
gone for the day.
Collins' lead lawyer from BakerHostetler, Jonathan R. Barr, directed Broderick to a decision by SDNY Judge Jed
Rakoff during the Gumpta case, and Broderick said that he would read it. He confessed he had himself looked up
applicable cases on Westlaw, adding that he might have missed some cases. This case is USA v. Collins, et al., 18-cr-
00567 (VSB). More on Patreon, here.
Judge Broderick told Collins' lawyers to expect to come back in a week's time on Friday, May 10. One of them said he
would only be returning to the United States that morning; another said that he then would be leaving for the same place
his colleague had been: Argentina.
Thus is big money, and big politics, law done in the SDNY.

S' corporation distributions considered income for child support purposes

BYLINE: Eric T. Berkman
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 1431 words
Distributions that a divorcing husband received from an "S" corporation should have been counted as part of his gross
income for purposes of calculating his child support obligations, the Rhode Island Supreme Court has decided. The
husband, plaintiff Joel Trojan, had used the distributions to buy out his partners and acquire sole ownership interest in
Century Drywall, Inc.; to pay taxes on Century's net income; and to pay an annual premium on a life insurance policy
that named his daughters as beneficiaries. A Providence Family Court judge had determined that the distributions did
not count as part of the husband's gross income because they did not inure to his personal benefit. But the Supreme
Court, while affirming with respect to distributions the husband used for taxes, reversed as to distributions he used to
purchase his partners' interests in the company and for the insurance premiums. "It is clear from the evidence that Joel's
obligation to pay [his partners] for the purchase of their stock in Century was personal in nature and that Joel used
distributions from Century to meet that personal obligation," Justice Francis X. Flaherty wrote for the court.
"[B]y using Century's funds to pay for his own personal obligation, Joel no longer is required to pay that debt with his
own money. " Additionally, Flaherty wrote, "the money distributed to Joel to fund the life insurance premium should
have been included as gross income because that distribution was used to satisfy a personal debt that Joel chose to take
on himself. There was no evidence introduced at trial that payment of Joel's insurance premium was an 'ordinary and
necessary expense' of Century. " The 34-page decision is Trojan v. Trojan, Lawyers Weekly No. 60-053-19. The full text
of the ruling can be found here. Different treatment? The husband's attorney, Laura Ruzzo Reale of McIntyre Tate in
Providence, declined to comment. Patrick M. O'Connor of Madison, Wisconsin, represented the wife but could not be
reached for comment before deadline. However, John R. Grasso, a Providence lawyer who practices in the Family
Court, said a takeaway from the decision is that an "S" corporation owner's income may be treated differently from that
of a child support payer with either W-2 or 1099 income. "The latter will likely pay child support on their gross income,
while the former may benefit from his or her legitimate business obligations the amount of [his or her] income that goes
to pay legitimate business purposes," Grasso said, referencing income that passed through to the plaintiff husband in
Trojan but which he had to use to pay taxes on the company's net income or to retain as company capital to satisfy
bonding requirements. Grasso also said the decision seemed fair, even if the distributions in questions were not actually
available to the husband. "Just like [in Trojan], W-2 income earners don't have 100 percent of their income available to
pay child support, yet these folks and 1099 income earners pay child support on 100 percent of their before-tax
income," he said. Neither the husband nor the wife will walk away from the ruling in Trojan completely satisfied,
Grasso said, "but that's usually how it goes in a divorce. " Income dispute Joel and Denise Trojan married in July 1990
and had two daughters. Joel filed for divorce in March 2014, and Denise filed a counterclaim seeking child support for
their teenage daughter, referred to in court records as "Tiffany," though not for their other daughter who apparently was
an adult by that point. On Dec. 16, 2015, the day of trial, the parties agreed to joint custody of Tiffany with Denise
having physical custody and Joel being awarded reasonable rights of parenting time. Additionally, they agreed that the
marital estate after allocating for cash withdrawals Denise previously made would be divided equally. Denise also
moved for temporary allowances, arguing that during the pendency of the divorce, she had been using a joint marital
account to support herself and Tiffany but that Joel had stopped depositing money in it and it had become depleted. She

further argued that, by her calculations, Joel was earning $1.8 million a year. She asked for $16,000 a month in child
support, though she conceded that Tiffany did not actually need that much. Joel countered that there was at least $1
million in the account from which Denise had just received more than $500,000. Additionally, he argued that Denise
had miscalculated his earnings because it reflected pass-through income from Century. Family Court Judge John E.
McCann III rejected Denise's motion for temporary allowances and indicated he would be willing to award child
support retroactively after trial if necessary. At trial, Joel testified that Century originally had three shareholders:
himself, his brother and his brother-in-law, but that by December 2013 he had become the sole shareholder by using
distributions from the company to pay off personal note obligations to the other two for their interests. At the end of
trial, McCann approved a marital settlement but continued the child support issue. The parties reconvened in September
2016 for a hearing at which Joel testified that he had been paying $2,444 a month in voluntary child support since
shortly before trial based primarily on $300,000 in wages included on his 2014 W-2 form. He also calculated his gross
income for permanent child support purposes based on $278,000 in 2015 wages plus $246 a month in taxable interest on
the joint marital account. That plus an anticipated 4-percent return on $2.7 million transferred to Denise in the split of
marital property, he argued, justified a $1,765 monthly support obligation. Denise countered that she needed
significantly more to maintain Tiffany's lifestyle, including hundreds of dollars a month on hair and nail care, massages,
clothing and shoes, shopping and social outings, plus at least $10,000 a year for vacations, including the cost of
bringing along a friend. On Dec. 14, 2016, McCann, in a bench decision, ruled that Joel's gross salary was $278,000.
The judge also ruled that Century's $1 million net income was retained by the corporation as working capital for a
legitimate business reason and thus did not count as part of Joel's income. Similarly, McCann found that Century's
distributions to Joel did not inure to his personal benefit and thus should not be included in his gross income.
Meanwhile, finding Denise's accounting of Tiffany's necessary expenses to be "outrageous," McCann ordered that Joel
pay $1,796 a month in support. Denise appealed. Gross income The Supreme Court found that while McCann properly
excluded distributions that Joel used to pay taxes on the corporation's net income from his gross income, he erred by
giving the same treatment to distributions Joel used to buy out his partners. In doing so, the panel agreed with Denise
that Joel essentially had incurred a "personal debt" to his partners in purchasing their stake and that he was using the
distributions to pay down this debt, acquiring an asset that enhanced the value of the marital estate. "We hold that
distributions used by Joel to satisfy his personal obligation in purchasing the sole ownership in Century should have
been included in his gross income calculation to determine his child support obligation," Flaherty said. Regarding the
distribution Joel used to pay life insurance premiums, the court noted that Joel had deposited those checks into his own
personal account and used personal checks to pay the premium. "In our opinion, [this] distribution should have been
considered to be gross income" as well, Flaherty said. Nonetheless, the court rejected Denise's argument that McCann
erred by not ordering Joel to pay interim and retroactive child support, finding that he acted "well within the bounds of
his discretion" by ruling that sufficient funds were available for Denise to support herself and her daughter during
divorce proceedings. Accordingly, the court remanded the case for recalculation of Joel's support obligations based on a
gross income factoring in the distributions in question, but only for an amount "reasonable and necessary for the child's
support. " CASE: Trojan v. Trojan, Lawyers Weekly No. 60-053-19 COURT: Rhode Island Supreme Court ISSUE:
Should distributions that a father received from an "S" corporation have been counted as part of his gross income for the
purposes of calculating his child support obligations? DECISION: Yes

Hispanic officials pile on in flap over judicial picks by Illinois Supreme Court
Justice Anne Burke
BYLINE: Fran Spielman
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 820 words
Two recent appointments Burke made to Cook County subcircuits are under fire.
Hispanic elected officials on Tuesday climbed aboard the bandwagon of critics unhappy about judicial appointments
by Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke, wife of indicted Ald. Edward Burke (14th).
Last week, the new chairman of the City Councilâ€[TM]s Black Caucus squared off against Burke over her
appointment of a white county employee to replace a retiring black judge in a 7th sub-circuit dominated by African-
Americans that includes much of the West Side.
Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) accused Burke of putting politics ahead of diversity and demanded that Burke rescind the
appointment of Cara Smith, a top aide to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, a longtime political ally of Edward Burke.
Smith was sworn in Monday.
On Tuesday, Hispanic politicians piled on. They complained about Justice Burkeâ€[TM]s February appointment of
Daniel Tiernan, who is white, to fill a vacancy in a 14th sub-circuit dominated by Latinos that includes Cicero, Berwyn
and the Chicago neighborhoods of Little Village, Pilsen, Back of the Yards, Archer Heights and McKinley Park.
The Daley Center news conference included: newly-elected aldermen Michael Rodriguez (22nd) and Daniel LaSpata
(1st); Juan Morado Jr., immediate past president of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois; state Rep. Aaron Ortiz
(D-Chicago); and Cook County Commissioner Alma Anaya. Ervin was in the audience.
â€oePeople of color â€¦ have been taken advantage of for far too long. Itâ€[TM]s important to have people in these
positions that are not only qualified, but also share the same experience and come from the same background as people
theyâ€[TM]re elected â€" or, in this case, appointed â€" to serve,â€ Ortiz said.
â€oeIt is shameful that, on the [eve] of a federal trial for racketeering against a very powerful person who represents a
powerful family that they would dish out an 11th- hour favor,â€ Ortiz added. â€oeWhether we are black or whether we
are brown, our struggle for representation is shared. I stand here with everyone in frustration and anger over this
appointment. We call for reform and transparency within the judicial appointment process.â€
Rodriguez said Hispanic elected officials â€oewill not tolerate and watch as patronage continues to serve as a driving
force in the selection of judgesâ€ who do â€oenot have roots in the neighborhoods, particularly on the South and West
sides.â€
â€oeWe need fair representation â€" especially in the selection committees responsible for filling these vacancies,â€ he
said.
Page 9
Rodriguez then read a statement from U.S. Rep. Jesus â€oeChuyâ€ Garcia, who was in Washington and unable to
attend the news conference.
â€oeIt is alarming and disturbing when the people being appointed to the judicial system to decide the fate of people of
color do not reflect our communities,â€ Garcia was quoted as saying.
â€oeIt is offensive and continues to perpetuate disparity in our institutions. I fully support a transparent and inclusive
process that helps select and recommend qualified candidates for these positions.
Burke, expected to become chief justice of the state Supreme Court this fall, could not be reached for comment.
Last week, she questioned whether Ervinâ€[TM]s motives were more about politics than diversity in a statement
seldom seen from a justice on the stateâ€[TM]s highest court.
The statement revealed that after the 7th sub-circuit vacancy was announced, Ervin came to her in October and asked
for Pamela Reaves-Harris to be appointed.
Reaves-Harris is the former state representative for the 10th District, a post Ervinâ€[TM]s wife filled when Reaves-
Harris decided not to seek re-election. Melissa Conyears-Ervin was subsequently elected city treasurer.
Burke said Reaves-Harris could apply like everyone else, and she would be reviewed by the selection committee.
An evaluation by The Chicago Bar Association Judicial Evaluation Committee found Reaves-Harris was â€oenot
recommendedâ€ for the post and went on to say â€oewhile Ms. Harris was â€˜a dedicated, busy and hardworking
public servant,â€[TM] her â€˜limited practice and court experience would make it difficult for her to effectively serve
as a Circuit Court judge,â€[TM]â€ according to Burkeâ€[TM]s statement.
On Tuesday, Ervin characterized the Chicago Bar Associationâ€[TM]s evaluation committee as â€oea challengeâ€ for
black and Hispanic attorneys.
â€oeI donâ€[TM]t know how many members of the Chicago Bar Association live on the West Side of Chicago. I
donâ€[TM]t know how many members of the Chicago Bar Association are actively engaged in whatâ€[TM]s going on
in our communities,â€ Ervin said.
â€oeIf folks downtown want to tell us who we should have on the West Side of Chicago, thatâ€[TM]s something I do
not buy into. We will continue to run people from our community that know and understand the challenges that the
young kids and young people and others face in these communities.â€

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Gov. Mike Parson appointed a former judge who has supported an anti-abortion
pregnancy centre - and been disciplined for publicly doing so - to an administrative panel that could handle a licensing
dispute with the state's only abortion clinic.
The Missouri Supreme Court in 2015 reprimanded former Macon County Associate Circuit Judge Philip Prewitt for
encouraging people to donate to local charities on Facebook, including Ray of Hope Pregnancy Care Ministeries, an
anti-abortion non-profit.
The Republican governor, an abortion opponent who last month signed into law one of the strictest abortion laws in the
country ,on June 3 appointed Prewitt to the Administrative Hearing Commission, a panel that handles disputes between
state agencies and businesses or individuals.
Lawyers for the state have argued that the commission should adjudicate a dispute between the state's only clinic
performing abortions and the state health department, which is refusing to renew the clinic's abortion license. The
dispute is now in St. Louis circuit court.
Prewitt has weighed in on abortion previously. He ran as a Republican for a state representative seat in 2000 and
received a $250 campaign donation from Missouri Right to Life PAC. When he was serving as an associate judge in
2014, he supported Ray of Hope on his Facebook page.
"I am happy to be supporting Ray of Hope Pregnancy Center again at their fundraising dinner," the post read. "Even if
you didn't attend, consider donating to this wonderful organization."
Prewitt also posted about donating to a local cancer fundraiser and local schools.
A state judicial oversight organization - the Missouri Commission on Retirement, Removal and Discipline - in 2015
found that Prewitt's Facebook posts violated a state Supreme Court rule that bans judges from abusing the "prestige of
office to advance the personal or economic interests ... of others," including a rule that a judge may not "personally
participate in the solicitation of funds or other fundraising activities."
The commission in court filings noted that Prewitt had no prior complaints against him, was "co-operative and truthful"
during the investigation, and that in response he stopped the questionable Facebook posts.
Prewitt told The Associated Press on Monday that he doesn't see a problem with the reprimand or his past support for
the pregnancy care centre and from Missouri Right to Life. He said he would consider recusing himself if requested by
a party in the case.
"I don't see where it would be a conflict," Prewitt told AP. "It doesn't violate the judicial rules, so I don't see how it
would violate any commissioner rules either."

Parson spokesman Steele Shippy said the governor named Prewitt to the commission based on his experience as a judge
and his past military service and that his stance on abortion was not a factor. He said the governor's office was aware of
Prewitt's previous reprimand, but noted that the Supreme Court did not go further to suspend or revoke his license.
"Based on those qualifications, we believe that he would execute the responsibilities of commissioner appropriately,"
Shippy said.
Commissioners work individually, and Prewitt said cases are assigned on a rotating basis by a scheduling clerk. Three
other commissioners currently serve on the panel and could also be assigned the abortion clinic case, if it ever makes it
to the commission.
Prewitt lost re-election in 2018 and in December resigned early. He said he applied for an open seat on the
Administrative Hearing Commission several months ago and heard back around March.
"Many months ago was I considered for the appointment, so this wasn't even an issue when I was talking to the
governor's office about the appointment," he said.
Since he left his judgeship, Prewitt has continued to be active on Facebook. In February, he posted a photo of a truck
with writing on the back that says: "What's the difference between a gun and a whiny liberal? A gun has only one
trigger. #buildwall." He's also shared memes about vegans, atheists and a post with a photo of a woman that says, "Why
is she wearing leggings?"
Parson appointed Prewitt amid a court fight between the state health department and the St. Louis Planned Parenthood
clinic. The Department of Health and Senior Services has refused to renew the clinic's license, citing concerns about
patient safety, "failed surgical abortions" and legal violations.
Planned Parenthood pre-emptively sued to ensure continued abortion services in the state.
In court filings, state attorneys argued that the clinic "is required to seek review of an adverse licensing decision through
the Administrative Hearing Commission."
A St. Louis judge last week issued an order to keep the abortion clinic operating while a fight over the facility's license
plays out in court.
St. Louis Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer also ordered the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to decide
on Planned Parenthood's application to renew its license by Friday.

HIGHLIGHT: 'Non-Political Appointment Of Judges A Must'
Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi on Tuesday said the rise of populism presents a challenge to independence of courts
and asked the judiciary to stand up to populist forces and protect constitutional ethos.
Addressing chief justices and judges of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) countries, CJI Gogoi referred to the
growing trend of populists disparaging judges as the "unelected who overturn acts of elected majority" and said: "To
some critics and naysayers, this situation presents a case for hoisting the classical counter narrative -- unelected judges,
acting under the constitutional mandate, get to overturn the acts of the elected majority. However, it is for us to recollect
that such situations across the world have heaped tremendous pressure on judicial organs, and it is no surprise that in
some jurisdictions, judiciary too has succumbed to populist forces."
"This is also an area that requires the judiciary to prepare itself, to strengthen itself about such populist onslaughts on
the independence of the institution," he said. The exhortation came against the backdrop of the frustration among the
populists globally against the "tyranny of the unelected elite", who are accused of using their control over institutions to
obstruct the fulfilment of popular will represented by electoral mandates.
Though he located his theme in the global context, the CJI also seemed to take issue with the NDA government's
assertion that the executive must have a role in appointment of judges of constitutional courts. "Non-political
appointment of judges alone could ensure independence of the judiciary," he stressed.
Law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had said neither he nor his ministry is a 'post-office' in appointment of judges and
asserted that the Executive had a stake in such appointments.
CJI Gogoi listed the key indices for building an independent judiciary and said, "Non-political appointments, security of
tenure and rigorous procedure for removal, securing reputation of and remuneration and immunities for judges, in-house
accountability procedures and implementation of code of judges' conduct are some such measures."
Many in India heard an echo of the lament about "unelected judges overturning acts of elected majority" when the
Supreme Court in 2015 struck down Parliament's unanimous decision to replace the collegium system with NJAC. The
political class as a whole had protested against it .
He said, "The human agency, through which justice is sought to be administered, has to be adequately secured and
fortified in ordinary times, so that it is sufficiently equipped to deal with such forces of populism in extra-ordinary
times, lest they overrun the judicial edifice too."
He said another aspect of judicial independence is financial independence. "Control of revenues and expenditure of
judiciary vests with the governments and is often used as a tool to armtwist the judiciary," he said.

Judiciary needs to be strengthened from within, says Gogoi Times of India (Electronic Edition) June 19, 2019
Wednesday
CJI Gogoi said, "Judicial organs act like buffers and pressure-valves, standing between state agencies and the populace,
absorbing all the heat and dust thrown up by the cycle of governance, or a lack thereof. This lack of understanding,
coupled with the fact that judiciary does not pander to any constituency, translates into low budgetary support for the
judiciary, including for its infrastructure and human resource components."
He said judiciary needs to be strengthened from within and not from support from outside.
"If a judicial system fails to enjoy public confidence, its deliverables would never constitute 'justice'; conversely, if the
deliverables of a judicial system are not known to be impartial, just, equitable and appealing to good conscience, such
system would never earn public confidence and high esteem in the minds and hearts of common citizens."

GOV. CHRIS SUNUNU recently announced his nomination of Attorney General Gordon MacDonald to become chief
justice of the state's Supreme Court.
It is Sununu's third appointment to the court. None had prior experience on the bench, whether in the circuit court or
the Superior Court. While prior judicial experience is not required, that lack of experience is not typical.
Sununu passed over a number of judges who are at least as qualified, if not more so, to serve as chief justice. It is the
custom for the chief justice to come from within the ranks of the Supreme Court itself. Current Chief Justice Lynn was a
justice for seven years. His predecessor, the trailblazing Linda Dalainis, first served as an associate justice, following a
number of years as a marital master and a Superior Court judge.
I looked up the records going back to Justice Frank Kennison, who served as an associate justice for five years before
his appointment as chief in 1952, a capacity in which he served for 25 years. Every chief justice had prior judicial
experience, and all had been an associate justice before appointment as chief.
So, why is Sununu breaking a tradition that goes back at least 67 years?
When I started asking this question, some of my Republican friends accused me of trying to politicize the nomination.
MacDonald went to a great law school, they said, he is a good guy, he works hard, he has served on various committees,
he was a partner in a large law firm.
I agree that MacDonald has excellent credentials as an attorney especially the great law school (we share an alma
mater). But the Executive Council needs to take a hard look at this nomination. Not because I want to politicize the
Supreme Court, but because I am afraid Sununu is trying to do just that.
The modern New Hampshire Supreme Court has not been a political court. When Linda Dailanis was appointed chief, I
did not know or care what her party registration was. While I may have disagreed with the court's decisions from time to
time, I never felt that it this was driven by a partisan ideology.
While the court always has a mix of Democrats and Republicans, Sununu's nominees are more that just registered
Republicans. They all have been generous donors to the GOP and/or its candidates. According to Open Secrets,
MacDonald's federal contributions alone total over $20,000.
There is nothing disqualifying about making political donations. However, the level of MacDonald's is significant.
In addition, Sununu's Supreme Court nominees appear to come from the Republican Party's more conservative wing.
Both MacDonald and Justice Bobbie Hantz-Marconi are former members of the board of directors of the Josiah Bartlett
Center, a very conservative New Hampshire think tank. Justice Hantz-Marconi also was the Republican Party's
executive director back in the 1980s, and once ran to be the state GOP chair. MacDonald lists the NH GOP as one of his
former clients.
Page 39
The Bartlett Center has been heavily funded by the Koch brothers. One of their foundations contributed over $280,000
to the center during MacDonald's first two years on the board. Groups affiliated with the Kochs have been trying to elect
conservative judges in some states where judges are elected.
There are a number of critical issues that will be argued before the Supreme Court in the next few years education
funding, voting rights, potential additional litigation involving Northern Pass, and the like.
New Hampshire deserves a Supreme Court that will not look at these matters through a partisan eye, but one that will
interpret the law as objectively as possible.
The Executive Council should not wave this nomination through, but should take a hard look at whether Sununu is
imposing an ideological stamp on what has been a non-political body
.
Kathy Sullivan is the former chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.

COCHRAN V. SEC
LENGTH: 707 words
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
The following information was released by the Cato Institute:

By Russell Ryan, Ashley Parrish, Ilya Shapiro, and William Yeatman
June 17, 2019
How many constitutional infractions must one endure at the hands of the government before getting the chance to be
heard in an Article III court? According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the answer is at least two.
In April 2016, the SEC commenced an enforcement proceeding against Michelle Cochran for alleged violations of
federal accounting regulations. The proceeding took place before an administrative law judge who was reported at the
time to have said to defendants that they should be aware he had never ruled against the agencys enforcement division.
True to his word, the SEC judge issued an initial decision ruling in the SECs favor. Ms. Cochran was fined $22,500 and
banned from practicing as an accountant for at least five years. But before the SEC could finalize its order against Ms.
Cochran, the Supreme Court ruled in Lucia v. SEC that administrative law judges are inferior officers subject to the
Appointments Clause. Because SEC judges had not been appointed by the President aloneCourts of Law, orHeads of
Departmentsas required by Article IIthe Supreme Court invalidated all ongoing administrative enforcement proceedings
before the SEC, including the one against Ms. Cochran.
After Lucia, the SEC attempted to cure this constitutional defect by ratifying its administrative law judges prior
appointments. The problem is that by addressing its Appointments Clause violation, the SEC is forced to violate the
Constitutions Removal Clause. In Free Enterprise Fund v. PCOB, the Supreme Court held that officers of the United
States may not be insulated from presidential control by more than one layer of tenure protection. Yet the SECs judges
enjoy employment protections, and they are removable by SEC commissioners, who also enjoy employment
protections. That is, the SECs administrative law judges are officers with at least two layers of tenure protections, and,
therefore, run afoul of the Supreme Courts reading of the Removal Clause in Free Enterprise Fund.
In its Lucia brief, the SEC acknowledged this constitutional quandary. Notwithstanding this concession, and although
the SEC has the discretion to bring its enforcement proceedings in an original action before an Article III court, the
agency reassigned Ms. Cochrans case to a new administrative law judge. As a result, the SEC knowingly subjected Ms.
Cochran to a second unconstitutional enforcement proceeding, which remains ongoing.
Enough is enough. In January, with the help of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, Ms. Cochran filed suit against the SEC
in a federal district court in Texas. She argued that she should not have to undergo a second unconstitutional
enforcement proceeding. To be clear, shes not asking the court to void the SECs charges against her or otherwise
diminish the SECs enforcement power. Ultimately, Ms. Cochran seeks only for a federal courtand not an
unconstitutional administrative law judgeto try the SECs case against her.
On March 25, 2019, the district court dismissed her case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, concluding that
Congress intended to preclude district court jurisdiction over Ms. Cochrans constitutional claims and channel those
claims through the administrative process. Ms. Cochran has appealed the district courts order to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Page 54
COCHRAN V. SEC States News Service June 17, 2019 Monday
The Cato Institute, joined by the Cause of Action Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, today filed a brief in
support of Ms. Cochran. We argue that the district court misconstrued (and thereby trivialized) Ms. Cochran's serious
ongoing constitutional injury. In addition, we argue that parties like Ms. Cochran may never get any opportunity to seek
or obtain redress for their constitutional injury, and even if they do it will be too late to undo or remedy the injury.
Because this case alleges a colorable constitutional claim of ongoing ultra vires government action, and because
Congress cannot have intended to strip district courts of jurisdiction over such a claim, the Fifth Circuit should allow
Ms. Cochran's case to proceed in the district court.

post
BYLINE: Matthew Vella
LENGTH: 185 words
The former Nationalist MP who cost the Gonzi administration its full tenure in 2012 by voting against it, will no longer
be Commissioner for Laws.
The Labour government has announced that retired judged Antonio Mizzi will succeed Franco Debono as from 1 June,
on a one-year appointment.
Debono, a critic of the Gonzi administration over its slow-paced reform on justice and home affairs, was appointed
Commissioner for Laws in 2013 when Labour was elected.
He was also tasked with presiding a steering committee for constitutional reform, which was however prevented from
picking up steam after the Nationalist Party under Simon Busuttil refused to take part in it.
More recently, Debono had launched a tirade against the Labour government, and accused Joseph Muscat of being "the
most corrupt politician in Maltese history", and that - circumstantially - he was clearly the owner of the secret
Panamanian company Egrant.
Franco Debono has head of the Constitutional Convention
In its statement, the government thanked Debono for his work.
Judge MIzzi served as magistrate from 1987 to 2013, and then as judge up to 2018.

U.S. attorneys are urging a federal judge to uphold indictments of Drew Rankin and others who stand
accused of using positions of power on the Connecticut Municipal Energy and Electric Cooperative board to
embezzle funds, imperiling CMEEC's credit.
Prosecutors filed that motion Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, urging the court to
reject motions to dismiss filed by former CMEEC CEO Rankin, former CFO Edward Pryor, and former
CMEEC board members James Sullivan, John Bilda, and Edward Demuzzio last month. The men
werearrestedin November 2018, charged with stealing from ratepayers to pay for lavish trips to the Kentucky
Derby and to a luxury golf resort in West Virginia for themselves, for associates, family, and friends.
"A common theme in the defendants' motions to dismiss is that these trips were legitimate "~corporate
retreats' for the senior leadership of an agency that essentially could act like a private corporation," Justice
Department lawyers told the court. "The indictment, however, tells a different story: that the defendants
raided a public agency and public money, treating those funds as their own personal piggy banks to reward
and enrich themselves, their families, and their friends."
Rankin allegedly used in excess of $800,000 of CMEEC funds from the cooperative's margin account as well
as funds from CMEEC member towns to pay for outings to the 2015, 2016, and 2017 Kentucky Derby horse
races, according to the indictment.
In addition to disputing the allegations, which the prosecutors' motion said was improper in a motion to
dismiss, Rankin also alleged government wrongdoing. The government misled the grand jury by not
presenting to jurors information provided to prosecutors by Rankin, his motion to dismiss alleged, a charge
prosecutors portrayed as baseless and outside the scope of a grand jury's role.
It will be up to the judge to decide whether the trial should go forward and against which defendants.
Against the backdrop of the courtroom proceedings came some good news for CMEEC, which is owned by
municipal utilities in the Connecticut cities of Groton and Norwich, the Borough of Jewett City, and two taxing
districts of the City of Norwalk. Fitch Ratings, which had put the cooperative's more than $100 million debt
portfolio on a negative watch following the arrests, announced June 13 that it was removing that watch and
affirming CMEEC's revenue bonds at A-plus. Fitch had cited concern about turnover at the top of the
cooperative's small staff and the turmoil associated with the investigation.
The latest decision by the rating agency followed the conclusion of CMEEC's owninternal investigationof the
matter, which led to its May 9 decision to fire Rankin. Fitch had said it expected to take action on its rating
watch after evaluating CMEEC's findings.

"After careful, thoughtful consideration of the facts, we are confident that the decision to terminate Mr.
Rankin's employment is in the best interests of CMEEC, our member municipalities and ratepayers in the
communities where we operate," CMEEC said in a statement. "As a public entity, we fully recognize the
important role we play in our communities and the responsibility we all have to ensure CMEEC is operating
at the highest standards of organizational integrity. We will continue working diligently to regain the trust of
our members and ratepayers as we deliver on our commitment to provide lower-cost energy solutions for
years to come."
Pryor had already announced his intention to retire before his arrest.

WGA Suit Against Big 4 Talent Agencies Gets A New Venue And A New Judge - The Fourth In the "Complex"

WGA Suit Against Big 4 Talent Agencies Gets A New Venue And A New
Judge - The Fourth In the "Complex" Case
LENGTH: 732 words
The WGA's lawsuit against the Big 4 talent agencies is headed to a new court and a new judge - the fourth
judge in case since it was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on April 17. The change of venue - from the
Santa Monica courthouse to the downtown courthouse that deals with complex civil litigation, comes just as
ICM Partners was set to file its answer to the guild's suit today. The new judge in the case is Judge William
F. Highberger, who has presided over the Complex Civil Litigation Program since 2008.
CAA, which had previously answered the guild's suit - calling the individual named plaintiffs' allegations
"preposterous," had asked that the case be moved to a new court and designated as a "complex case,"
which the California Rules of Court defines as one requiring "exceptional judicial management to avoid
placing unnecessary burdens on the court or the litigants and to expedite the case, keep costs reasonable,
and promote effective decision making by the court, the parties, and counsel."
CAA Seeks To Remove WGA In The Guild's Lawsuit Against Big 4 Talent Agencies
The Complex Litigation Division agreed, and assigned it to Highberger, who was appointed to the bench in
1998 by former Governor Pete Wilson. Judge Highberger received his B.A. from Princeton University in
1972. He went on to earn his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1975. After graduating from law school,
Highberger joined the law firm Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher LLP as an associate in 1976. He was made a
partner in 1982. Highberger practiced labor and employment litigation at the firm's Los Angeles and
Washington, D.C. offices. He remained with the firm until his appointment to the bench in 1998. Gibson,
Dunn and Crutcher is not involved with any of the parties in the WGA's lawsuit against the agencies.
In a minute order, the Court ruled that "This case is hereby determined to be complex within the meaning of
Rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court."
Highberger is the fourth judge assigned to the case. The WGA used its preemptory challenge to remove
Judge Marc Gross, the first judge in the case, because the guild said he was "prejudiced" because his wife
once worked for Endeavor before its 2009 merger with the William Morris Agency. That merger created
WME, which is a defendant in the suit along with CAA, UTA and ICM Partners. The guild also noted that
Gross' wife previously had worked at two production companies - Turner Network Television and GK-tv - that
might have paid packaging fees to talent agencies.
Gross was replaced by Judge Craig Karlan, who subsequently recused himself after both sides requested
that he do so on grounds that he had once talked to a CAA employee about one of his writing projects. He, in
turn, was replaced by Judge Elaine Mandel, who in turn was replaced by Highberger.
The legal wrangling comes against the backdrop of the WGA's 10-week standoff with the Association of
Talent Agents over a new franchise agreement. Those talks broke off on April 12, after which the guild
ordered its members to fire all their agents who refuse to sign its new Agency Code of Conduct, which bans

Case Deadline June 19, 2019
packaging fees and agency affiliations with corporately related production entities. At last count, the guild
said that more than 7,000 of its members have terminated their agents.
The ATA and the WGA last met on June 7, when the agencies offered to share 2% of their backend profits
with writers on shows the agencies package - up from 0.8% in its initial offer.
The guild told its members that the ATA's proposal was "wide ranging and complex," and that "We have
asked for contract language on their proposals in order to formulate the appropriate response. As we've
stated, whatever solution we find, it will have to address conflicts of interest and realign agency incentives
with those of their writer clients."
Still waiting for a response to its proposals, the ATA said yesterday that "it has become clear as more days
pass that the guild is not interested in making a deal." Just after the ATA released its statement, however, the

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jurors in Philadelphia have convicted a handyman of stabbing a retired Villanova
University astronomy professor to death.
A judge on Monday sentenced 48-year-old Jose Diaz to the mandatory term of life in prison without parole.
The jury deliberated 30 minutes before finding Diaz guilty of murder, robbery and other charges in the 2013
slaying of 69-year-old Carol Ambruster. Prosecutors said Diaz needed money for drugs and repeatedly
stabbed and beat Ambruster after she surprised him in her apartment.
The defense claimed Ambruster's roommate had killed her.

LENGTH: 1245 words
Washington, D.C. - Today, in a speech on the Senate floor, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), ranking
member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, urged her colleagues to
reject Matthew Kacsmaryk's nomination to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, citing his
extreme and hateful views on LGBTQIA+ rights and record of fighting to strip women of their reproductive
rights. Kacsmaryk has called being transgender "a delusion" and has argued that businesses and landlords
should be able to discriminate against LGBTQIA+ individuals. Kacsmaryk has also questioned the legality of
state bans on harmful conversion therapy, and has argued that employers should be able to interfere in a
woman's ability to make her own health care decisions.
Key Excerpts:
"Mr. Kacsmaryk is another example of an extreme choice by President Trump to jam courts with individuals
who will put their political views above the law and use their positions of power to chip away at people's
rights."
"He has fought tooth and nail against any protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals--and has devoted his career
to stripping this community of their fundamental rights. Mr. Kacsmaryk does not believe that Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act includes sexual orientation and gender identity. He opposed the Supreme Court's ruling in
Obergefell--which affirmed that same-sex couples have the right to marry under our Constitution."
"Not only are his views on nondiscrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity concerning, I'm
also alarmed by his record as a fervent crusader against women's reproductive rights--and for the far-right
position that someone else's ideology is more important, than a woman's ability to make her own personal
medical decisions. If Mr. Kacsmaryk's arguments had won the day in court, a woman trying to get
contraceptive care could face barriers thrown up by her employer, or even by her pharmacy, all because
someone else thinks their beliefs matter more than a woman's own personal decisions about her health."

"Thank you, M. President.
Page 21
"I come to the floor today to oppose Matthew Kacsmaryk's nomination to the U.S. District Court for Northern
District of Texas.
"Mr. Kacsmaryk is another example of an extreme choice by President Trump to jam courts with individuals
who will put their political views above the law and use their positions of power to chip away at people's
rights.
"Not only are Mr. Kacsmaryk's views hateful and out of the mainstream, but his history of attacking
vulnerable communities shows me that he will not be a fair and impartial judge.
"He has fought tooth and nail against any protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals--and has devoted his career
to stripping this community of their fundamental rights.
"Mr. Kacsmaryk does not believe that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act includes sexual orientation and gender
identity.
"He opposed the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell--which affirmed that same-sex couples have the right
to marry under our Constitution.
"And he opposes the Equality Act. He believes this bill will 'weaponize Obergefell.'
"The Equality Act builds on existing civil rights laws to expand anti-discrimination protections to ensure
members of the LGBTQIA+ community cannot be fired or evicted from their homes, providing them with the
same protections afforded to those who are discriminated against based on their race, religion, age, sex, and
more.
"He believes health care providers should be able to discriminate against patients based on gender identity
or sex stereotyping and he even supports discrimination against our children.
"Mr. Kacsmaryk not only opposes protections for transgender students--he has even argued that being
transgender is a 'delusion.'
"And he has questioned whether states can ban conversion therapy practices--which are dangerous,
discredited by the medical community, and have led to depression and suicidal behavior in young people
subjected to these practices.
"M. President--Mr. Kacsmaryk claims his hateful views have to do with religious liberty, but his own words
show his true colors.
"When Republicans and Democrats in Utah agreed on employment and housing nondiscrimination
protections based on gender identity and sexual orientation, Mr. Kacsmaryk opposed them--even as
countless religious organizations supported the bill.
"Was religious liberty his main point of opposition?
"No. Instead he argued that businesses should be able to discriminate based on a person's sexual
orientation or gender identity, because in his view, this community does not deserve the same protections as
other communities who are often discriminated against.
"Mr. Kacsmaryk has said there is a 'clash of absolutes' between LGBTQIA+ rights and those who want to
discriminate in the name of religious liberty.
"This is not a view of someone who can be impartial and fair.
"M. President--not only are his views on nondiscrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity
concerning, I'm also alarmed by his record as a fervent crusader against women's reproductive rights--and
for the far-right position that someone else's ideology is more important than a woman's ability to make her
own personal medical decisions.
"If Mr. Kacsmaryk's arguments had won the day in court, a woman trying to get contraceptive care could face
barriers thrown up by her employer, or even by her pharmacy, all because someone else thinks their beliefs
matter more than a woman's own personal decisions about her health.
Page 22
"Mr. Kacsmaryk's extreme hostility to women's reproductive rights is also on display in his writings outside of
the court.
"Like when he wrote that the court cases affirming those rights--the historic rulings that have defended
women's access to birth control and their right to safe, legal abortion--were responsible for removing a 'pillar
of marriage law.'
"Under any other Administration this truly disturbing ideological track record would be alarming--unfortunately
for President Trump and Vice President Pence, it appears to be a prerequisite.
"The Trump-Pence Administration has taken every opportunity to undermine women's health and
reproductive rights, and we've seen far-right Republicans across the country join them.
"From state legislators working to pass extreme, harmful abortion restrictions, to Republicans here in D.C.
working to jam through extreme, harmful judicial nominees--like Mr. Kacsmaryk--who they hope will help
uphold blatantly unconstitutional restrictions on a women's right to safe, legal abortion and ultimately take
away that right by overturning Roe v. Wade.
"But I've been so inspired by the people around the country who are speaking up and taking a stand against
these extreme views, and if we keep making our voices heard--against this nominee and Republican efforts
to undermine women's reproductive rights more broadly--we can stop these attacks and ensure every
woman has the ability to make her own decisions about her body.
"So, M. President--I urge my colleagues across the aisle to join us in rejecting this hateful nominee.
"Thank you, I yield the floor."

Prosecutor calls into question state probe of cases tried by former

county judge
BYLINE: Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@aimmediamidwest.com
SECTION: BREAKING-NEWS
LENGTH: 758 words
There seems to be at least a bit of a war of words breaking out between Tim Young, director of the Office of
the Ohio Public Defender, and Shane Tieman, Scioto County Prosecutor.
Although in some media the reported number of cases possibly affected is north of 2,000, Young said his
office may or may not be bringing into question a select number of some 1,200 criminal cases involving
prison sentences or probation as handed out by former Scioto County Court of Common Pleas Judge
William Marshall, who resigned in March 2018 after approximately 18 years of service to the bench.
Earlier this year, the Ohio Supreme Court followed the recommendation of the Ohio Board of Professional
Conduct and suspended Marshall from the practice of law for six months.
The case against Marshall stemmed from his allegedly inserting himself into a traffic infraction case against
his daughter. But it was not the suspension that attracted Young 's attention. Instead, Young decided to step
in after the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Marshall's daughter and mother had filed for guardianship over the
former judge, now 62.
According to The Enquirer, guardianship papers claim Marshall is no longer capable of handling his own
affairs because of extremely advanced alcoholism. In comments to the Daily Times, Young noted Marshall
first was hospitalized for alcoholism in 2013. In his mind, that potentially brings into question Marshall's
judgment regarding every case he decided since that time.
Young stated he couldn't imagine anyone being comfortable having their trial presided over by an intoxicated
judge.
"Even if you're guilty, and I assume a lot of these people are, and I'm not saying they are not, what I'm
saying is they had a right to justice," Young said.
For his part, Tieman said if Young can point to specific cases with specific problems, he is more than willing
to look at those cases. But he also argued Young is overreaching in trying to look at what could be a very
large number of cases tried by Marshall. He said Young waited months before acting on news of the filing of
the guardianship papers against Marshall. Tieman added Young never contacted his office before going to
the media.
"It kind of just hits me the wrong way," Tieman said.
"Do you honestly believe, and I would ask the prosecutor the same question, that justice was done if the
judge in the case was intoxicated?" Young asked. He added he respects Tieman's comments about finding
specific problems with specific cases but then said the question becomes how exactly would that be
accomplished.

(Ohio) June 18, 2019 Tuesday
"How do I show errors if everybody in the county knew about this problem, or heard rumors about this
problem, and didn't do anything?" Young said.
Young also pointed to a federal court case which he said set the precedent that a systemic problem evident
in the justice system is enough to bring a case in to question. In other words, he said, you don't need to show
specific problems if there are systematic or systemic problems.
Rumors long have linked Marshall's name to a supposed sex trafficking ring operating in Portsmouth. Young
stated he did not take any such allegations into account in deciding to look into some of Marshall's cases.
The Daily Times has checked numerous times with the southern Ohio office of the Federal Bureau of
Investigations as well as well as other law enforcement agencies regarding any investigation into Marshall or
others allegedly linked to supposed local sex trafficking. Each time Officials state, by policy, they can neither
confirm nor deny any such investigations.
Young stated with the help of law students from Case Western Reserve University near Cleveland he is
beginning to review at least some of the cases Marshall handled. Researchers have put an emphasis on
persons who appeared before Marshall and still are imprisoned. Persons who appeared before Marshall who
have questions about their case also are invited to contact Young's office.
Parties can contact the state public defender's office at (614) 466-5394.
Again, Young added his office's interest is limited to cases involving jail time or probation. He said he
assumes many persons who appeared before Marshall will be satisfied at this point to accept whatever fate
was meted out to them and simply move on. Young insisted the number of cases to prove worthy of a new
trial will be a very small fraction of those over which Marshall presided.
"We're looking into whether there is a systemic remedy to all of this. I can't tell you today whether there is or
not," Young said.

Serial drunken driver gets 3 1/2 years The Salem News (Beverly, MA) June 18, 2019 Tuesday

Serial drunken driver gets 3 1/2 years

BYLINE: Julie Manganis, The Salem News, Beverly, Mass.
LENGTH: 697 words
June 18-- Jun. 18--GLOUCESTER -- Fourteen jurors were lined up outside the door to the courtroom
Tuesday morning, waiting to be led to their seats to hear opening statements in the trial of a serial drunken
driver who struck a pedestrian two years ago in Gloucester.
Then, Joseph Nally's lawyer asked to approach the judge's bench in Courtroom I at Salem Superior Court..
Nally, 60, of Orland, Maine, had decided to accept an earlier offer from Judge Salim Tabit, a sentence of 3
1/2 years in state prison, rather than take his chances at trial. He pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of
drunken driving, fifth or subsequent offense, and a reduced charge of driving after license suspension.
Nally's license had been permanently revoked in 2005, after a drunken driving conviction in Maine. But
because of an apparent oversight in the Massachusetts drunken driving statute concerning license
revocations for drunken driving convictions in other states, the prosecutor was facing a challenge.
The judge was allowing prosecutor Alexander Grimes to introduce evidence of just one of Nally's five or six
prior convictions to show that he was driving after his license had been revoked for drunken driving. But
Grimes and defense lawyer Jack Diamond disagreed about which of those prior convictions would be
disclosed to the jury.
Grimes wanted to tell jurors about a Hingham drunken driving conviction in 2002. But that's not the conviction
that triggered his lifetime driving ban, Diamond argued. The conviction that led to his lifetime suspension
occurred in Maine, but the prosecutor did not have documentation from Maine to show the jury.
Even as the jurors were lining up, the lawyers continued to discuss their disagreement with the judge.
The 3 1/2 year prison term left the injured pedestrian, Donald Blanchette, "disappointed."
"This 3 1/2 year sentence is nowhere near adequate for this guy's record," said Blanchette, 68, of Magnolia,
after the hearing.
Blanchette was crossing Raymond Street early on the evening of April 10, 2017, when he was hit by Nally's
truck.
The impact sent him flying 30 feet.
"It's pretty miraculous I wasn't cut in half by the truck," said Blanchette. He credits his decision to turn and
face the oncoming truck for saving him from more serious injury.
"If it had hit me sideways, it would have broken me in half," he said.
Nally has a record of drunken driving dating back to the 1980s in both Massachusetts and Maine, and he
wasn't supposed to be behind the wheel at all on the night of his arrest.
Page 28
Grimes told the judge that while a blood alcohol test at Addison Gilbert Hospital showed that Nally's blood
alcohol level was just below the legal limit of .08, Gloucester police, as well as witnesses, said Nally was
clearly impaired, failing field sobriety tests and appearing red-faced and glassy-eyed.
Nally has spent more than two years in custody, held without bail as a danger to the public. That time will be
credited toward his sentence, meaning he'll have to spend about 16 more months in custody before being
released on three years of probation.
Had prosecutors been able to prove that he was driving drunk after his license had already been revoked for
drunken driving, the judge would have been required to add at least a year onto the prison term. He had
been facing a potential total of six years in prison if convicted as originally charged.
While on probation, Nally will be required to wear an alcohol monitoring device and submit to random tests,
and undergo a substance abuse evaluation and treatment. He cannot drive in any state, Tabit ordered.
"He's very lucky for that loophole in the law," said Blanchette, who was also frustrated that officials in Maine
did not provide Grimes, the prosecutor, with all of the paperwork he needed.
Gloucester police and the district attorney "put so much time and effort into it to get such a short sentence,"
said Blanchette.

Electronic Program Grant discussed at commissioner's meeting

SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 615 words
Judge Gary Willen and Brad Roudebush, Director of Special Projects/Probation Officer, appeared before the
Carroll County commissioners at the June 13 meeting to discuss the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and
Correction Subsidy Grant Agreement.
Judge Willen advised the Electronic Program Grant allows them to put defendants on a monitoring system,
before and after sentencing. Monitoring can include house arrest or a certain spot, and there can be more
privileges with that.
There is also a GPS monitor involved that can be set up to notify them when the defendant is in an area they
are not allowed to be in, and there is an alcohol monitor for defendants who cannot have alcohol at all.
Judge Willen stated it is a good program that allows them to save the county money by not having to use up
jail beds and contribute to overcrowding, and gives the court a different alternative to jail time.
Roudebush noted the grant amount of $82,200 is the same amount they received the last two years and it
will allow them to service an additional 150 defendants between 2019 and 2021.
Commissioner Robert Wirkner questioned what happens when a defendant removes the monitor.
Roudebush stated they are notified immediately by the monitoring service, American Court Services, in
Canton. If a defendant removes their monitor or goes into an area that the they are not allowed to be in, they
are notified immediately, and they contact the sheriff's office to apprehend the defendant.
Roudebush advised if there is an egregious violation of that nature, then probation would have the court
modify bail conditions and the defendant would probably be placed in jail until further notice.
Roudebush stated many defendants that are placed on house arrest as a condition of their probation are
allowed to go to work and engage in counseling services. Their movement is not completely shut down, but it
is limited to the things that the court feels are pertinent to their compliance on probation.
Commissioners agreed to to sign the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Subsidy Grant
Agreement.
In other business:
‒ Accepted the bid from McConnell Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $65,350 for the 2019 Deck
Replacement, Bridge No. MON-159-2275 Project.
‒ Approved an agreement by and between the Board of Commissioners and EAP Ohio, LLC to commence
use of 2.4 miles of CR 21 (Avon Road) for the purpose of ingress to and egress from the Krichbaum well site,
for traffic necessary for the purpose of construction, completion operations and production of products at the

‒ Approved an agreement by and between the Board of Commissioners and EAP Ohio, LLC to commence
use of 0.4 miles of TR 152 (Gallo Road) for the purpose of ingress to and egress from the Kovach well site,
for traffic necessary for the purpose of construction, completion operations and production of products at the

Calpine, NextEra appeal ruling on jurisdiction over PG&E contract

LENGTH: 344 words
HIGHLIGHT: The moves came after the judge presiding over Pacific Gas and Electric's joint bankruptcy
case with its parent company ruled FERC does not have concurrent jurisdiction over any contracts the utility
may seek to cancel.
Energy suppliers to Pacific Gas and Electric Co., or PG&E, on June 13 appealed a recent ruling and related
memorandum decision in the embattled California utility's joint Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding with its
parent company, PG&E Corp., that determined the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission lacks any
jurisdiction over contracts PG&E may seek to reject as part of its restructuring.
NextEra Energy Inc. and affiliate NextEra Energy Partners together filed an appeal, while Calpine Corp. filed
a separate objection. The appeals will be heard either by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California or the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
The NextEra companies hold long-term power purchase agreements with PG&E for the output of several
major renewable energy projects in California, including the Desert Sunlight 300 solar farm, the Genesis
Solar Energy Project and the Golden Hills Wind Project (NextEra), according to S&P Global Market
Intelligence data.
Calpine has numerous contracts with the utility for natural gas-fired and geothermal power plants, including
the Calistoga Geothermal power plant, a portion of the Geysers Unit 5-20 complex, one of the world's largest
active geothermal energy fields, and the Russell City Energy Center and Gilroy Peaking Energy Center gas
plants, among others.
PG&E's energy suppliers and FERC had sought to assert the federal regulator's concurrent jurisdiction over
any proposed contract cancellations through U.S. district court and regulatory action. However, Judge Dennis
Montali, who is presiding over the cases in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California in
San Francisco, ruled FERC lacks any such jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceeding, calling the attempt
an egregious overreach.
Representatives for PG&E said the utility has not yet determined whether it actually will seek to cancel any
contracts as part of its restructuring.
In a June 10 note to clients, ClearView Energy Partners LLC cautioned that the jurisdictional battle "could
drag on for years."

Appeal expected after judge rules against FERC 'power play' on PG&E
contracts

LENGTH: 702 words
HIGHLIGHT: The judge presiding over Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s bankruptcy case dealt a blow to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, finding it lacks any jurisdiction over contracts the utility may seek to
reject. But the matter is far from resolved.
A nearly six-month-long jurisdictional tug-of-war over Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s, or PG&E's, right to reject
power purchase agreements through its joint Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding with parent company PG&E
Corp. reached a critical juncture recently with the presiding bankruptcy judge's ruling that the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission "does not have concurrent jurisdiction, or any jurisdiction" over requested contract
rejections.
The move is a blow to FERC, which, backed by PG&E agreement counterparties, had asserted its
concurrent jurisdiction over the utility's contract rejections in U.S. district court and through federal energy
regulatory action.
But the battle over PG&E's power supply contracts remains far from resolved. Independent analysts and
Judge Dennis Montali, who is presiding over the cases in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District
of California in San Francisco, expect that the federal regulator or counterparties to the PG&E agreements
likely will appeal the ruling. Moreover, PG&E has not even decided which, if any, of its power purchase
agreements, or PPAs, it may seek to void as part of its restructuring plan, which remains up in the air until
certain state legislative issues are resolved.
"PG&E has made no decisions as to whether to assume or reject contracts as part of filing for Chapter 11,"
James Noonan, a spokesman for California's largest utility, said in an email. "As we assess our contracts, the
input provided by the bankruptcy court, policy makers, regulators and relevant stakeholders will be critical to
helping form a solution that provides for the reliable and safe delivery of natural gas and electric service for
the long-term in an environment that continues to be challenged by climate change."
The utility has $42 billion in commitments covering 387 PPAs with 350 counterparties and 13,668 MW of
capacity. More than half of that capacity is for renewable energy projects, including projects signed at above-
market prices that some analysts say the utility is likely to reject to help fund claims related to its wildfire
liabilities, which will potentially exceed $30 billion. Governor Gavin Newsom and renewable energy
advocates, meanwhile, are concerned that contract rejections and the company's restructuring could
threaten the state's ambitious renewable energy and climate policies.
While PG&E is happy with the court's decision, "we appreciate the concerns from stakeholders across the
state concerning the impact that Chapter 11 filing could have on the state's clean energy progress," Noonan
said. The utility in 2018 added more solar than any other U.S. utility and has interconnected the second most
solar in its service territory on a cumulative basis, according to a recent report.

'Jurisdictional battle could drag on for years'

In a June 7 memorandum decision accompanying his ruling, Montali said he would soon issue a "certification
for direct appeal" of his decision. He also previously stated in bankruptcy court that he anticipated an appeal
if he were to rule against FERC.
"Ultimately, this jurisdictional battle could drag on for years in multiple courts in parallel with what is already
expected by many parties to be a protracted reorganization," analysts at ClearView Energy Partners LLC
said in a June 10 note to clients. The analysts agreed with the judge's expectation that "dissatisfied parties
are likely to challenge the decision to the U.S. District Court for Northern California and possibly the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit."
Spokespersons for FERC and major PG&E contract holders NextEra Energy Inc. and Berkshire Hathaway
Energy on June 11 declined to comment on whether they would appeal the judge's ruling.
In his decision, Montali argued that FERC "must be stopped" for what he views as an egregious
encroachment on the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction, calling prior FERC regulatory orders asserting the
agency's co-jurisdiction legally out of line. "To be blunt, they were unauthorized acts of the power regulator
executing a power play (to use a hockey term) to curtail the role of the court acting within its authorized and
exclusive role in these bankruptcy cases," the judge said.

Is Sununu making court political?

BYLINE: KATHY SULLIVAN
SECTION: A; Pg. 006
LENGTH: 645 words
GOV. CHRIS SUNUNU recently announced his nomination of Attorney General Gordon MacDonald to become chief
justice of the state's Supreme Court.
It is Sununu's third appointment to the court. None had prior experience on the bench, whether in the circuit court or
the Superior Court. While prior judicial experience is not required, that lack of experience is not typical.
Sununu passed over a number of judges who are at least as qualified, if not more so, to serve as chief justice. It is the
custom for the chief justice to come from within the ranks of the Supreme Court itself. Current Chief Justice Lynn was a
justice for seven years. His predecessor, the trailblazing Linda Dalainis, first served as an associate justice, following a
number of years as a marital master and a Superior Court judge.
I looked up the records going back to Justice Frank Kennison, who served as an associate justice for five years before
his appointment as chief in 1952, a capacity in which he served for 25 years. Every chief justice had prior judicial
experience, and all had been an associate justice before appointment as chief.
So, why is Sununu breaking a tradition that goes back at least 67 years?
When I started asking this question, some of my Republican friends accused me of trying to politicize the nomination.
MacDonald went to a great law school, they said, he is a good guy, he works hard, he has served on various committees,
he was a partner in a large law firm.
I agree that MacDonald has excellent credentials as an attorney especially the great law school (we share an alma
mater). But the Executive Council needs to take a hard look at this nomination. Not because I want to politicize the
Supreme Court, but because I am afraid Sununu is trying to do just that.
The modern New Hampshire Supreme Court has not been a political court. When Linda Dailanis was appointed chief, I
did not know or care what her party registration was. While I may have disagreed with the court's decisions from time to
time, I never felt that it this was driven by a partisan ideology.
While the court always has a mix of Democrats and Republicans, Sununu's nominees are more that just registered
Republicans. They all have been generous donors to the GOP and/or its candidates. According to Open Secrets,
MacDonald's federal contributions alone total over $20,000.
There is nothing disqualifying about making political donations. However, the level of MacDonald's is significant.
In addition, Sununu's Supreme Court nominees appear to come from the Republican Party's more conservative wing.
Both MacDonald and Justice Bobbie Hantz-Marconi are former members of the board of directors of the Josiah Bartlett
Center, a very conservative New Hampshire think tank. Justice Hantz-Marconi also was the Republican Party's
executive director back in the 1980s, and once ran to be the state GOP chair. MacDonald lists the NH GOP as one of his
former clients.
Page 5
The Bartlett Center has been heavily funded by the Koch brothers. One of their foundations contributed over $280,000
to the center during MacDonald's first two years on the board. Groups affiliated with the Kochs have been trying to elect
conservative judges in some states where judges are elected.
There are a number of critical issues that will be argued before the Supreme Court in the next few years education
funding, voting rights, potential additional litigation involving Northern Pass, and the like.
New Hampshire deserves a Supreme Court that will not look at these matters through a partisan eye, but one that will
interpret the law as objectively as possible.
The Executive Council should not wave this nomination through, but should take a hard look at whether Sununu is
imposing an ideological stamp on what has been a non-political body
.
Kathy Sullivan is the former chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.

Senate confirms Trump judicial nominee who called homosexuality 'disordered';

Matthew Kacsmaryk was opposed by every Democrat as well as Republican Sen.
Susan Collins.
BYLINE: Colby Itkowitz
LENGTH: 573 words
The Senate confirmed a controversial judicial nominee Wednesday over objections from civil rights groups and
Democrats who criticized President Trump's pick as being hostile to the LGBTQ community.
Just one Republican, Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), joined every voting Democrat to oppose Matthew Kacsmaryk's
lifetime appointment to the federal bench in the Northern District of Texas. He was confirmed, 52 to 46.
"Mr. Kacsmaryk has demonstrated a hostility to the LGBTQ bordering on paranoia," Senate Minority Leader Charles E.
Schumer (D-N.Y.) said before the vote. "It's unbelievable that this man has been nominated, and he's not alone. The
parade of narrow-minded, often bigoted people who we're putting on the bench. . . . One Republican senator rightfully
voiced concerns about this man's fitness. Where are the others?"
Collins, in a statement last week announcing her intention to vote "no," said Kacsmaryk's "extreme statements" on
LGBTQ and reproductive rights issues "reflect poorly on Mr. Kacsmaryk's temperament and suggest an inability to
respect precedent and to apply the law fairly and impartially."
While Collins, who had angered LGBTQ and women's rights groups with her vote for Supreme Court Justice Brett M.
Kavanaugh, sided with them this time, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), another ally of those groups who voted against
Kavanaugh, did not.
Murkowski's office did not return a request for comment about her vote for Kacsmaryk.
"The courts have been at the forefront of securing LGBTQ equality on many fronts, including the necessary and
lifesaving legal protections opposed by Kacsmaryk and many other Trump nominees," said Gillian Branstetter,
spokeswoman for the National Center for Transgender Equality. "We would hope any lawmaker who believes in the
need for that equality would understand the importance of inoculating the legal system from the kinds of bias and
prejudice held by Kacsmaryk."
Opponents of Kacsmaryk's nomination point to his writings, in which he has described being transgender as a "mental
disorder," called homosexuality "disordered" and said that "sexual revolutionaries" had made the unborn child and
marriage secondary to "erotic desires of liberated adults."
"This person being in a position of power anywhere in government would be deeply troubling, but his lifetime
appointment to the federal bunch by Trump and Pence will now present a clear threat to the rights and livelihoods of
LGBTQ people for decades to come," said Charlotte Clymer, press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign. "It is
unconscionable that this person would be confirmed to arbitrate our constitutional rights despite his outspoken hatred
towards LGBTQ people."
Kacsmaryk most recently served as deputy general counsel at First Liberty Institute, a legal organization that defends
religious freedom cases. His former boss there, Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO, said after the confirmation vote:

"Matthew has spent his career fighting to defend our God-given, Constitutionally protected rights. Matthew's
confirmation is further evidence that presidential appointees who strictly adhere to the text of the Constitution and the
Founders' original intent for our most fundamental freedoms, including religious liberty, can and will be confirmed by
the U.S. Senate."
Several Democrats and advocates pointed out the particular sting of Kacsmaryk's confirmation occurring during Pride
Month.

Hawaii power couple charged with lavish fraud claim they cant afford lawyer
LENGTH: 593 words
Soon after a Honolulu prosecutor and her police chief husband were indicted and accused of a fraud scheme that funded
their lavish lifestyle, they told a judge they couldnt pay for lawyers to represent them.
The public servant couple, who lived in the swanky part of town, used money bilked from her grandmothers reverse
mortgage on items such as Maserati car payments, according to the 2017 indictment. A judge who reviewed their
finances appointed them taxpayer-funded attorneys, and their expensive home later went into foreclosure.
The trial, highlighting their downfall, was in its 13th day Monday when a new attorney stepped in to help represent
Katherine Kealoha. The attorney is not being paid by the government, but by her family, said Earle Partington, the new
addition to her legal team.
Considered the largest corruption scandal in Hawaii, Katherine and Louis Kealoha are on trial along with current and
former officers accused of abusing police resources to conspire to frame Katherine Kealohas uncle for the theft of their
home mailbox to silence and discredit him.
The ongoing trial focuses on the mailbox framing conspiracy. The Kealohas face a second trial for identity theft and
bank fraud. Katherine Kealoha is accused of bilking relatives, banks and children whose trusts she controlled. She also
faces a third trial with her pain physician brother on charges of dealing opioids.
Partington said Kealoha contacted him a few days ago asking him for help, while the trial was on a weeklong break. He
said he joined her defense team on Saturday. Kealoha just felt some help would be needed, he said, adding that he didnt
know her personally and isnt sure why she contacted him.
Kealohas family is paying his legal fees, he said, declining to disclose the amount or say who specifically is paying him.
Joining mid-trial has been extremely difficult and mind-numbing, he said. His role will be more of an adviser, he said,
and he will be handling legal issues such as helping with jury instructions and a possible appeal.
Partington said hes been practicing law in Hawaii since 1975. For his most recent jury trial eight years ago, he
represented a woman accused of animal cruelty for beating a peacock to death with a baseball bat. She was acquitted.
Partington stood as U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright introduced him to the jury. Seabright instructed the jurors
not to consider the addition of a new lawyer when deciding on their verdict.
The allegations against the Kealohas have been described as the biggest corruption case to rock Hawaii.
Prosecutors say they staged a 2013 mailbox theft to discredit Gerard Puana in a lawsuit he and his mother filed against
Katherine Kealoha. Puana and Kealohas grandmother alleged she stole money from them in a reverse mortgage scheme.
Puana testified that his niece came up with the idea to get a reverse mortgage on his mothers home to help him buy a

Worldwide June 19, 2019 Wednesday
condo. Kealoha purchased the condo but never paid off the reverse mortgage as promised, he said. Prosecutors say the
couple planned to use the money to consolidate their massive debt and then pay off the reverse mortgage.
Instead, they spent the money on personal items such as Maserati and Mercedes Benz car payments, more than $2,000
for Elton John concert tickets and more than $23,000 to a Waikiki resort for a banquet when Louis Kealoha became
police chief, Laurice Otsuka, an FBI forensic account testified Monday.
It took six months to drain about $150,000 from Kealohas grandmothers reverse mortgage funds, Otsuka said. 2019

Spring Valley man charged with first-degree murder

BYLINE: Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

LENGTH: 670 words
PRINCETON -- The Spring Valley man charged with obstructing justice during a homicide investigation in April now
faces a first-degree murder charge.
Eddie L. Mentgen Jr., 37, appeared in Bureau County Circuit Court on Tuesday, which was a scheduled pre-trial hearing
for the obstructing justice charge.
However, when Mentgen approached the bench, Bureau County Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich announced Bureau
County State's Attorney Geno Caffarini was filing one count of first-degree murder, alleging Mentgen struck 27-year-
old Marissa Roberts on the head with a hammer, causing her death.
If found guilty of murder, Mentgen faces anywhere from 20 to 60 years in prison, with 3 years parole. His bond was set
at $5 million, 10 percent to apply. He has been remanded to Bureau County Jail against his own will.
Mentgen asked that he be returned to the Dixon Correctional Center where he has access to a law library and 24-hour
telephone. He told Hollerich he'd like to go pro se (represent himself) with the case, having been around case law all his
life. Mentgen is currently being represented by Bureau County Assistant Public Defender Brad Popurella.
Hollerich strongly encouraged Mentgen not to make that move.
"I've seen that done. It's not a good idea as a general statement," he said.
Caffarini urged that Mentgen stay in Bureau County due to the "seriousness of the offense," to which Hollerich
ultimately agreed.
During Caffarini's probable cause statement, he said on April 5, Roberts was pronounced dead in her apartment from
multiple head wounds.
During an investigation, Spring Valley Police learned Roberts, a mother of three children, was involved in a
relationship with Mentgen. A witness told police Mentgen was seen with Roberts' two youngest children on the
afternoon of April 5, but Roberts was not with them.
Spring Valley Police attempted to contact Mentgen to locate the children, and he told police he was in Granville and
would come to the police department. However, he never showed up.
Police tracked Mentgen's cellphone and discovered he was actually headed north on Interstate 39. On April 6, Mentgen,
who was on parole for a drug conviction, crossed the border into Wisconsin. Officers were able to issue an warrant for
parole violation, and Mentgen was arrested in Dane County.
During the investigation, police were able to locate Roberts' two youngest children at an apartment in LaSalle, which
was where a friend of Mentgen's lived.
Police searched outside the apartment and found a garage bag that matched those found in Roberts' apartment. Inside
the bag was a hammer, a bottle of bleach, a black shirt with red lettering, a pair of men's pants, and blankets that were
Page 28

later identified as being from Roberts' residence. Those items were tested at the crime scene lab, and blood found on the
hammer and clothing matched Roberts' DNA.
Mentgen told police he had taken Roberts and her two youngest children to the McDonald's in Metamora on April 5.
Later in the day, he took his friend who lived in LaSalle and Roberts' children back to Metamora to the same
McDonald's. Police were able to confirm those whereabouts from the restaurant's surveillance, which showed Roberts
with Mentgen wearing a black shirt with red lettering and pants that matched those found in the garage bag. When he
was at the McDonald's with his friend from LaSalle later in the day, he was wearing different clothing.
Police also have cellphone records that don't match Mentgen's statements about Roberts' whereabouts. One is that
Mentgen had been messaging people saying he was with Roberts at times when she was already dead. Another was that
Mentgen told police he had last seen Roberts talking on her cellphone around 12:30 p.m. April 5 in her apartment, when
in fact police were able to track her phone traveling north on Interstate 39 with Mentgen's phone on April 5.
Mentgen's next court appearance will be for an arraignment set for 2 p.m. July 15. Caffarini has dismissed Mentgen's
obstruction of justice charge.

License to carry: Woman went to court after Northwood chief issued her a

BRENTWOOD A judge has ordered Northwood Police Chief Glen Drolet to include his name and title on a woman's
pistol/revolver license to carry after she sued over his refusal to sign it.
Attorneys for Drolet and Northwood resident Cheryl Dean squared off at a hearing Tuesday in Rockingham County
Superior Court that sought to clarify confusion over whether the authority who issues the licenses is required to sign
them.
Judge Marguerite Wageling said that while the licensing form provided by New Hampshire State Police has a spot for
an "authorized signature" from the person issuing it, state law doesn't actually require a signature.
Wageling said the form is inconsistent with the law, but she ruled that at the very least Drolet's name as police chief
must appear on the license since he has authority to issue it.
She also ordered the town of Northwood to pay Dean's legal fees; Dean filed suit against Drolet and the town in May.
"While the court does not find Chief Drolet acted in bad faith, the court does find his actions were violative and that
Chief Drolet knew or should have known that his actions were violative of the law. The court finds the complaint was
required to obtain Chief Drolet's compliance," she wrote in her order.
Drolet issued an unsigned license to Dean in February that said "Issued by Northwood Police Department." On the line
that asked for an "authorized signature," Drolet included only the statute number RSA 159:6 the law related to licenses
for carrying pistols and revolvers. The line below it for the title of the person signing the license was left blank.
Dean's Concord lawyer, Evan Nappen, said it was "unheard of" for the gun license to have no signature by the person
authorizing it.
"We shouldn't have to go through all of this to have a license signed," he said.
Nappen argued that the unsigned license could create serious legal problems for Dean if she tried to carry a gun in 28
other states that have agreed to honor valid New Hampshire licenses.
He said Drolet had signed Dean's license when she got one in 2015.
Nappen argued that the signature is required because the law authorizes the director of state police to create the
licensing forms and the forms used in New Hampshire include a section for "authorized signature."
Northwood police prosecutor Michael DiCroce insisted that Drolet did nothing wrong and referred to RSA 159:6,
which states that the license must have the licensee's name, address, description, and signature. It doesn't state that the
authority issuing the license must sign it.

After the state made it legal to carry a concealed loaded pistol or revolver without a license in 2017, DiCroce said
Drolet was told by the Attorney General's office that he wasn't required to sign the licenses, but that if he chose to
continue signing them, he must make sure that he was consistent and that all were signed.
DiCroce maintained that if another agency questioned the validity or authenticity of the license, all they would need to
do is contact the Northwood Police Department to verify information.
"The signature really doesn't mean anything outside of New Hampshire. Even in New Hampshire some departments
aren't going to recognize Chief Drolet's signature," he said.
Nappen said he was pleased with the judge's ruling.
"We are extremely happy with the judge's decision. This decision memorializes the fact that the attorney general has
stated that chiefs are not required to sign the license. This removes a step in the issuance of a license that makes it easier
to get a license," he said.
The Union Leader contacted the Attorney General's office about the signature issue Tuesday; the AG's office is looking
into the matter further.

S' corporation distributions considered income for child support purposes

BYLINE: Eric T. Berkman
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 1431 words
Distributions that a divorcing husband received from an "S" corporation should have been counted as part of his gross
income for purposes of calculating his child support obligations, the Rhode Island Supreme Court has decided. The
husband, plaintiff Joel Trojan, had used the distributions to buy out his partners and acquire sole ownership interest in
Century Drywall, Inc.; to pay taxes on Century's net income; and to pay an annual premium on a life insurance policy
that named his daughters as beneficiaries. A Providence Family Court judge had determined that the distributions did
not count as part of the husband's gross income because they did not inure to his personal benefit. But the Supreme
Court, while affirming with respect to distributions the husband used for taxes, reversed as to distributions he used to
purchase his partners' interests in the company and for the insurance premiums. "It is clear from the evidence that Joel's
obligation to pay [his partners] for the purchase of their stock in Century was personal in nature and that Joel used
distributions from Century to meet that personal obligation," Justice Francis X. Flaherty wrote for the court.
"[B]y using Century's funds to pay for his own personal obligation, Joel no longer is required to pay that debt with his
own money. " Additionally, Flaherty wrote, "the money distributed to Joel to fund the life insurance premium should
have been included as gross income because that distribution was used to satisfy a personal debt that Joel chose to take
on himself. There was no evidence introduced at trial that payment of Joel's insurance premium was an 'ordinary and
necessary expense' of Century. " The 34-page decision is Trojan v. Trojan, Lawyers Weekly No. 60-053-19. The full text
of the ruling can be found here. Different treatment? The husband's attorney, Laura Ruzzo Reale of McIntyre Tate in
Providence, declined to comment. Patrick M. O'Connor of Madison, Wisconsin, represented the wife but could not be
reached for comment before deadline. However, John R. Grasso, a Providence lawyer who practices in the Family
Court, said a takeaway from the decision is that an "S" corporation owner's income may be treated differently from that
of a child support payer with either W-2 or 1099 income. "The latter will likely pay child support on their gross income,
while the former may benefit from his or her legitimate business obligations the amount of [his or her] income that goes
to pay legitimate business purposes," Grasso said, referencing income that passed through to the plaintiff husband in
Trojan but which he had to use to pay taxes on the company's net income or to retain as company capital to satisfy
bonding requirements. Grasso also said the decision seemed fair, even if the distributions in questions were not actually
available to the husband. "Just like [in Trojan], W-2 income earners don't have 100 percent of their income available to
pay child support, yet these folks and 1099 income earners pay child support on 100 percent of their before-tax
income," he said. Neither the husband nor the wife will walk away from the ruling in Trojan completely satisfied,
Grasso said, "but that's usually how it goes in a divorce. " Income dispute Joel and Denise Trojan married in July 1990
and had two daughters. Joel filed for divorce in March 2014, and Denise filed a counterclaim seeking child support for
their teenage daughter, referred to in court records as "Tiffany," though not for their other daughter who apparently was
an adult by that point. On Dec. 16, 2015, the day of trial, the parties agreed to joint custody of Tiffany with Denise
having physical custody and Joel being awarded reasonable rights of parenting time. Additionally, they agreed that the
marital estate after allocating for cash withdrawals Denise previously made would be divided equally. Denise also
moved for temporary allowances, arguing that during the pendency of the divorce, she had been using a joint marital
account to support herself and Tiffany but that Joel had stopped depositing money in it and it had become depleted. She

further argued that, by her calculations, Joel was earning $1.8 million a year. She asked for $16,000 a month in child
support, though she conceded that Tiffany did not actually need that much. Joel countered that there was at least $1
million in the account from which Denise had just received more than $500,000. Additionally, he argued that Denise
had miscalculated his earnings because it reflected pass-through income from Century. Family Court Judge John E.
McCann III rejected Denise's motion for temporary allowances and indicated he would be willing to award child
support retroactively after trial if necessary. At trial, Joel testified that Century originally had three shareholders:
himself, his brother and his brother-in-law, but that by December 2013 he had become the sole shareholder by using
distributions from the company to pay off personal note obligations to the other two for their interests. At the end of
trial, McCann approved a marital settlement but continued the child support issue. The parties reconvened in September
2016 for a hearing at which Joel testified that he had been paying $2,444 a month in voluntary child support since
shortly before trial based primarily on $300,000 in wages included on his 2014 W-2 form. He also calculated his gross
income for permanent child support purposes based on $278,000 in 2015 wages plus $246 a month in taxable interest on
the joint marital account. That plus an anticipated 4-percent return on $2.7 million transferred to Denise in the split of
marital property, he argued, justified a $1,765 monthly support obligation. Denise countered that she needed
significantly more to maintain Tiffany's lifestyle, including hundreds of dollars a month on hair and nail care, massages,
clothing and shoes, shopping and social outings, plus at least $10,000 a year for vacations, including the cost of
bringing along a friend. On Dec. 14, 2016, McCann, in a bench decision, ruled that Joel's gross salary was $278,000.
The judge also ruled that Century's $1 million net income was retained by the corporation as working capital for a
legitimate business reason and thus did not count as part of Joel's income. Similarly, McCann found that Century's
distributions to Joel did not inure to his personal benefit and thus should not be included in his gross income.
Meanwhile, finding Denise's accounting of Tiffany's necessary expenses to be "outrageous," McCann ordered that Joel
pay $1,796 a month in support. Denise appealed. Gross income The Supreme Court found that while McCann properly
excluded distributions that Joel used to pay taxes on the corporation's net income from his gross income, he erred by
giving the same treatment to distributions Joel used to buy out his partners. In doing so, the panel agreed with Denise
that Joel essentially had incurred a "personal debt" to his partners in purchasing their stake and that he was using the
distributions to pay down this debt, acquiring an asset that enhanced the value of the marital estate. "We hold that
distributions used by Joel to satisfy his personal obligation in purchasing the sole ownership in Century should have
been included in his gross income calculation to determine his child support obligation," Flaherty said. Regarding the
distribution Joel used to pay life insurance premiums, the court noted that Joel had deposited those checks into his own
personal account and used personal checks to pay the premium. "In our opinion, [this] distribution should have been
considered to be gross income" as well, Flaherty said. Nonetheless, the court rejected Denise's argument that McCann
erred by not ordering Joel to pay interim and retroactive child support, finding that he acted "well within the bounds of
his discretion" by ruling that sufficient funds were available for Denise to support herself and her daughter during
divorce proceedings. Accordingly, the court remanded the case for recalculation of Joel's support obligations based on a
gross income factoring in the distributions in question, but only for an amount "reasonable and necessary for the child's
support. " CASE: Trojan v. Trojan, Lawyers Weekly No. 60-053-19 COURT: Rhode Island Supreme Court ISSUE:
Should distributions that a father received from an "S" corporation have been counted as part of his gross income for the
purposes of calculating his child support obligations? DECISION: Yes

DRUG DEALER ILLEGALLY ARMED WITH NINE FIREARMS

SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS IN PRISON
LENGTH: 588 words
WASHINGTON, June 18 -- The U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives
issued the following press release:
A former bank robber who armed himself with nine firearms to protect his extensive drug dealing business, was
sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to twelve years in prison for three federal felonies, announced U.S.
Attorney Brian T. Moran. KEVIN TA, 31, of Des Moines, Washington, came to the attention of law enforcement in May
2018, when two Burien brothers overdosed on fentanyl within hours of each other. One brother did not survive.
Electronic communications between TA and one victim suggested TA supplied the drugs. U.S. District Judge John C.
Coughenour imposed five years of supervised release to follow the prison term.
"This defendant continued to deal his poison even after being sent a photo of one of his customers in a hospital bed on
life support," said U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran. "This sentence protects the community from someone who illegally
stockpiled firearms, was blinded by greed, and showed callous disregard for those whose addiction increased his
profits."
According to records filed in the case, following the overdose death, the King County Sheriff's Office and the Bellevue
Police Department moved quickly to build a case against TA and obtain search warrants. When law enforcement
searched his residence and car on June 21, 2018, they seized seven firearms from his bedroom closet and found
significant quantities of methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl pills. In TA's car they found two additional firearms and
additional drugs.
When investigators reviewed TA's electronic messages and social media posts, they found him bragging about the
money he made dealing fentanyl. The mother of the overdose victim sent TA information and pictures via text about her
son's medical condition, and death from the overdose. TA did not react or slow his dealing when confronted by the fact
that a customer had died.
TA was prohibited from possessing any firearms after serving a 31-month state prison sentence for bank robbery. TA
pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of firearms, possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute
and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. The third count carries a mandatory 5 year sentence to run
consecutive to any other sentence.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been historically successful in
bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
The Department of Justice has made turning the tide of rising violent crime in America a top priority. In October 2017,
as part of a series of actions to address this crime trend, DOJ leadership announced the reinvigoration of PSN and
directed all U.S. Attorney's Offices to develop a district crime reduction strategy that incorporates the lessons learned
since PSN launched in 2001.
The case was brought through the coordinated investigation and prosecution of the King County Sheriff's Office,
Bellevue Police Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF), Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jessica Manca. For any query with respect to this

Prosecutors, defendants trade shots as Connecticut cooperative's rating affirmed

BYLINE: Kyle Glazier
SECTION: Vol. 391 No. 35130
LENGTH: 592 words
U.S. attorneys are urging a federal judge to uphold indictments of Drew Rankin and others who stand accused of using
positions of power on the Connecticut Municipal Energy and Electric Cooperative board to embezzle funds, imperiling
CMEEC's credit.
Prosecutors filed that motion Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, urging the court to reject
motions to dismiss filed by former CMEEC CEO Rankin, former CFO Edward Pryor, and former CMEEC board
members James Sullivan, John Bilda, and Edward Demuzzio last month. The men werearrestedin November 2018,
charged with stealing from ratepayers to pay for lavish trips to the Kentucky Derby and to a luxury golf resort in West
Virginia for themselves, for associates, family, and friends.
"A common theme in the defendants' motions to dismiss is that these trips were legitimate "~corporate retreats' for the
senior leadership of an agency that essentially could act like a private corporation," Justice Department lawyers told the
court. "The indictment, however, tells a different story: that the defendants raided a public agency and public money,
treating those funds as their own personal piggy banks to reward and enrich themselves, their families, and their
friends."
Rankin allegedly used in excess of $800,000 of CMEEC funds from the cooperative's margin account as well as funds
from CMEEC member towns to pay for outings to the 2015, 2016, and 2017 Kentucky Derby horse races, according to
the indictment.
In addition to disputing the allegations, which the prosecutors' motion said was improper in a motion to dismiss, Rankin
also alleged government wrongdoing. The government misled the grand jury by not presenting to jurors information
provided to prosecutors by Rankin, his motion to dismiss alleged, a charge prosecutors portrayed as baseless and outside
the scope of a grand jury's role.
It will be up to the judge to decide whether the trial should go forward and against which defendants.
Against the backdrop of the courtroom proceedings came some good news for CMEEC, which is owned by municipal
utilities in the Connecticut cities of Groton and Norwich, the Borough of Jewett City, and two taxing districts of the City
of Norwalk. Fitch Ratings, which had put the cooperative's more than $100 million debt portfolio on a negative watch
following the arrests, announced June 13 that it was removing that watch and affirming CMEEC's revenue bonds at A-
plus. Fitch had cited concern about turnover at the top of the cooperative's small staff and the turmoil associated with
the investigation.
The latest decision by the rating agency followed the conclusion of CMEEC's owninternal investigationof the matter,
which led to its May 9 decision to fire Rankin. Fitch had said it expected to take action on its rating watch after
evaluating CMEEC's findings.
"After careful, thoughtful consideration of the facts, we are confident that the decision to terminate Mr. Rankin's
employment is in the best interests of CMEEC, our member municipalities and ratepayers in the communities where we
Page 3
Prosecutors, defendants trade shots as Connecticut cooperative's rating affirmed The Bond Buyer June 20, 2019
Thursday
operate," CMEEC said in a statement. "As a public entity, we fully recognize the important role we play in our
communities and the responsibility we all have to ensure CMEEC is operating at the highest standards of organizational
integrity. We will continue working diligently to regain the trust of our members and ratepayers as we deliver on our
commitment to provide lower-cost energy solutions for years to come."
Pryor had already announced his intention to retire before his arrest.

Judge: Ex-detective can't challenge innocence certificate

LENGTH: 161 words
DATELINE: CHICAGO
CHICAGO (AP) - A judge has ruled a retired Chicago police detective didn't have legal standing to challenge a
certificate of innocence awarded a man who said he was tortured by police into a murder confession.
The Chicago Tribune reports Kenneth Boudreau wanted to file a "friend of the court" brief contending Judge LeRoy
Martin Jr. didn't have all the evidence when he certified Arnold Day innocent of a murder.
Martin noted Wednesday that neither prosecutors nor Day's attorney opposed the certificate, adding it would remain in
place.
Day walked out of prison in December after 26 years in prison when prosecutors agreed not to seek to retry him in the
1990 slaying of Jerrod Erving.
Day long alleged Chicago police detectives under the command of disgraced former Cmdr. Jon Burge coerced him into
falsely confessing. The Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission concluded Boudreau stood by as another
detective choked and threatened to throw Day out a window.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - A former Oklahoma State Supreme Court justice will attempt to resolve a dispute over how to
disburse an $85 million settlement of a state lawsuit with Teva Pharmaceuticals.
Cleveland Count District Judge Thad Balkman said Monday that retired Judge Steven Taylor will serve as special
master to help find a way to handle the funds arising from a lawsuit that accused drug companies of contributing to the
opioid epidemic.
Gov. Kevin Stitt, lawmakers and cities say the May 26 settlement conflicts with a law directing any settlement funds
into the state treasury. The law was passed after lawmakers grumbled about how state Attorney General Mike Hunter
structured a $270 million settlement with Purdue Pharma in the lawsuit.
Oklahoma's lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson over the opioid epidemic is continuing.

Hispanic officials pile on in flap over judicial picks by Illinois Supreme Court
Justice Anne Burke
BYLINE: Fran Spielman
SECTION: NEWS
LENGTH: 820 words
Two recent appointments Burke made to Cook County subcircuits are under fire.
Hispanic elected officials on Tuesday climbed aboard the bandwagon of critics unhappy about judicial appointments
by Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke, wife of indicted Ald. Edward Burke (14th).
Last week, the new chairman of the City Councilâ€[TM]s Black Caucus squared off against Burke over her
appointment of a white county employee to replace a retiring black judge in a 7th sub-circuit dominated by African-
Americans that includes much of the West Side.
Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) accused Burke of putting politics ahead of diversity and demanded that Burke rescind the
appointment of Cara Smith, a top aide to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, a longtime political ally of Edward Burke.
Smith was sworn in Monday.
On Tuesday, Hispanic politicians piled on. They complained about Justice Burkeâ€[TM]s February appointment of
Daniel Tiernan, who is white, to fill a vacancy in a 14th sub-circuit dominated by Latinos that includes Cicero, Berwyn
and the Chicago neighborhoods of Little Village, Pilsen, Back of the Yards, Archer Heights and McKinley Park.
The Daley Center news conference included: newly-elected aldermen Michael Rodriguez (22nd) and Daniel LaSpata
(1st); Juan Morado Jr., immediate past president of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois; state Rep. Aaron Ortiz
(D-Chicago); and Cook County Commissioner Alma Anaya. Ervin was in the audience.
â€oePeople of color â€¦ have been taken advantage of for far too long. Itâ€[TM]s important to have people in these
positions that are not only qualified, but also share the same experience and come from the same background as people
theyâ€[TM]re elected â€" or, in this case, appointed â€" to serve,â€ Ortiz said.
â€oeIt is shameful that, on the [eve] of a federal trial for racketeering against a very powerful person who represents a
powerful family that they would dish out an 11th- hour favor,â€ Ortiz added. â€oeWhether we are black or whether we
are brown, our struggle for representation is shared. I stand here with everyone in frustration and anger over this
appointment. We call for reform and transparency within the judicial appointment process.â€
Rodriguez said Hispanic elected officials â€oewill not tolerate and watch as patronage continues to serve as a driving
force in the selection of judgesâ€ who do â€oenot have roots in the neighborhoods, particularly on the South and West
sides.â€
â€oeWe need fair representation â€" especially in the selection committees responsible for filling these vacancies,â€ he
said.
Page 18
Rodriguez then read a statement from U.S. Rep. Jesus â€oeChuyâ€ Garcia, who was in Washington and unable to
attend the news conference.
â€oeIt is alarming and disturbing when the people being appointed to the judicial system to decide the fate of people of
color do not reflect our communities,â€ Garcia was quoted as saying.
â€oeIt is offensive and continues to perpetuate disparity in our institutions. I fully support a transparent and inclusive
process that helps select and recommend qualified candidates for these positions.
Burke, expected to become chief justice of the state Supreme Court this fall, could not be reached for comment.
Last week, she questioned whether Ervinâ€[TM]s motives were more about politics than diversity in a statement
seldom seen from a justice on the stateâ€[TM]s highest court.
The statement revealed that after the 7th sub-circuit vacancy was announced, Ervin came to her in October and asked
for Pamela Reaves-Harris to be appointed.
Reaves-Harris is the former state representative for the 10th District, a post Ervinâ€[TM]s wife filled when Reaves-
Harris decided not to seek re-election. Melissa Conyears-Ervin was subsequently elected city treasurer.
Burke said Reaves-Harris could apply like everyone else, and she would be reviewed by the selection committee.
An evaluation by The Chicago Bar Association Judicial Evaluation Committee found Reaves-Harris was â€oenot
recommendedâ€ for the post and went on to say â€oewhile Ms. Harris was â€˜a dedicated, busy and hardworking
public servant,â€[TM] her â€˜limited practice and court experience would make it difficult for her to effectively serve
as a Circuit Court judge,â€[TM]â€ according to Burkeâ€[TM]s statement.
On Tuesday, Ervin characterized the Chicago Bar Associationâ€[TM]s evaluation committee as â€oea challengeâ€ for
black and Hispanic attorneys.
â€oeI donâ€[TM]t know how many members of the Chicago Bar Association live on the West Side of Chicago. I
donâ€[TM]t know how many members of the Chicago Bar Association are actively engaged in whatâ€[TM]s going on
in our communities,â€ Ervin said.
â€oeIf folks downtown want to tell us who we should have on the West Side of Chicago, thatâ€[TM]s something I do
not buy into. We will continue to run people from our community that know and understand the challenges that the
young kids and young people and others face in these communities.â€

Serial drunken driver gets 3 1/2 years

BYLINE: Julie Manganis, The Salem News, Beverly, Mass.
LENGTH: 697 words
June 18-- Jun. 18--GLOUCESTER -- Fourteen jurors were lined up outside the door to the courtroom Tuesday
morning, waiting to be led to their seats to hear opening statements in the trial of a serial drunken driver who struck a
pedestrian two years ago in Gloucester.
Then, Joseph Nally's lawyer asked to approach the judge's bench in Courtroom I at Salem Superior Court..
Nally, 60, of Orland, Maine, had decided to accept an earlier offer from Judge Salim Tabit, a sentence of 3 1/2 years in
state prison, rather than take his chances at trial. He pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of drunken driving, fifth or
subsequent offense, and a reduced charge of driving after license suspension.
Nally's license had been permanently revoked in 2005, after a drunken driving conviction in Maine. But because of an
apparent oversight in the Massachusetts drunken driving statute concerning license revocations for drunken driving
convictions in other states, the prosecutor was facing a challenge.
The judge was allowing prosecutor Alexander Grimes to introduce evidence of just one of Nally's five or six prior
convictions to show that he was driving after his license had been revoked for drunken driving. But Grimes and defense
lawyer Jack Diamond disagreed about which of those prior convictions would be disclosed to the jury.
Grimes wanted to tell jurors about a Hingham drunken driving conviction in 2002. But that's not the conviction that
triggered his lifetime driving ban, Diamond argued. The conviction that led to his lifetime suspension occurred in
Maine, but the prosecutor did not have documentation from Maine to show the jury.
Even as the jurors were lining up, the lawyers continued to discuss their disagreement with the judge.
The 3 1/2 year prison term left the injured pedestrian, Donald Blanchette, "disappointed."
"This 3 1/2 year sentence is nowhere near adequate for this guy's record," said Blanchette, 68, of Magnolia, after the
hearing.
Blanchette was crossing Raymond Street early on the evening of April 10, 2017, when he was hit by Nally's truck.
The impact sent him flying 30 feet.
"It's pretty miraculous I wasn't cut in half by the truck," said Blanchette. He credits his decision to turn and face the
oncoming truck for saving him from more serious injury.
"If it had hit me sideways, it would have broken me in half," he said.
Nally has a record of drunken driving dating back to the 1980s in both Massachusetts and Maine, and he wasn't
supposed to be behind the wheel at all on the night of his arrest.
Page 21
Grimes told the judge that while a blood alcohol test at Addison Gilbert Hospital showed that Nally's blood alcohol
level was just below the legal limit of .08, Gloucester police, as well as witnesses, said Nally was clearly impaired,
failing field sobriety tests and appearing red-faced and glassy-eyed.
Nally has spent more than two years in custody, held without bail as a danger to the public. That time will be credited
toward his sentence, meaning he'll have to spend about 16 more months in custody before being released on three years
of probation.
Had prosecutors been able to prove that he was driving drunk after his license had already been revoked for drunken
driving, the judge would have been required to add at least a year onto the prison term. He had been facing a potential
total of six years in prison if convicted as originally charged.
While on probation, Nally will be required to wear an alcohol monitoring device and submit to random tests, and
undergo a substance abuse evaluation and treatment. He cannot drive in any state, Tabit ordered.
"He's very lucky for that loophole in the law," said Blanchette, who was also frustrated that officials in Maine did not
provide Grimes, the prosecutor, with all of the paperwork he needed.
Gloucester police and the district attorney "put so much time and effort into it to get such a short sentence," said
Blanchette.

State Sen. Mulroe Stepping Down For Judicial Appointment

BYLINE: Tom Robb
SECTION: DES PLAINES
LENGTH: 309 words
John Mulroe (D-10th), who is a practicing attorney, plans to step down from his role as a state senator this Friday, June
21 to become a judge in the 10th Cook County Judicial Subcircuit.
Mulroe has served the area's 10th State Senate District since 2010 and has worked as an attorney since the late 1980s, in
private practice since 1995 and for six years before that as an assistant Cook County state's attorney.
The 10th State Senate District includes the 20th State House District and stretches from southern Glenview through
parts of Des Plaines, Niles, Park Ridge, Chicago, Norridge, Rosemont and Schiller Park.
The 10th Judicial Subcircuit includes parts of Chicago's Northwest Side, Niles, unincorporated Maine Township and
unincorporated Northfield Township.
A recent announcement of Mulroe's appointment to the bench by the Illinois State Bar Association said Mulroe would
fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Thomas Allen.
Democratic committeemen including those from Maine, Niles, Leyden townships along with committeemen from the
41st and 38th wards in Chicago plan to meet within 30 days of Mulroe's leaving office to appoint a successor through a
weighted vote.
Also retiring from office Monday, June 17, was State Rep. Michael McAuliffe (R-20th).
Maine Township Democratic Committeeman Laura Murphy said although 41st Ward Democratic Committeeman Tim
Heneghan has the strongest weighted vote, no one committeeman's vote is enough to make the appointment alone.
Murphy said she has heard several named as interested in Mulroe's seat including Heneghan and State Rep. Robert
Martwick (D-19th). Murphy named other possible contenders for the seat in WGN Radio personality Patti Vasquez,
Lindsey LaPointe, who works for a public interest law and policy center and Murphy said is allied with former Chicago
Ald. John Arena (D-45th).
