When it comes to selecting a Democratic candidate from this year’s political menu, nothing speaks more to flaccid competency than the St. Clair County Democratic Party. I find all government to be a manifestation of a societal mental disorder, but the boots-on-the-ground for this political profundity are those served up on ballots across America. The […]
My one-time judge, jury, and executioner, Zina Cruse, is running for St. Clair County Circuit Judge. Nothing could be sweeter, in my opinion, because now she has exposed her soft-pink-underbelly to my wrath for her arrogant and unlawful display in court on May 8, 2009 when she had me jailed for contempt when I refused […]

On June 25, 2011, I received an Order from Judge Babka which was entered on June 20, 2011, in response to my Memorandum and essentially dismissing the case. Footnote 7 In his Order, Babka does not address any of the issues presented aside from the holding in Lindquist as being a case from 1937, which he said was still good law, and attempting to distinguish that holding with one from People Ex Rel. Daley v. Moran, 94Ill. 2d 41, 445N.E. 2d, 67, Ill. Dec 790. Footnote 8 I contend that the Daley case is not on point for purposes of my argument. I do aver, in my Memorandum, that the State’s Attorney has sole discretion in whether to prosecute, but prosecution and arrest are two different matters.
It is an unfortunate fact that the public views the magistrate as the same as, or as a near blood relative to, the old justice of the peace and police magistrate of the pre 1964 era. We have been urged by the representatives of the Illinois Circuit Court Magistrates Association (does not include Cook County Magistrates) to eliminate the title of magistrate. The urging was in fact a plea to the effect that “whatever else you do or do not do, eliminate the title of magistrate”.
Now that Mr. Kelly is State’s Attorney, I would expect him to take action on the information he is in possession of, that being the dashboard video and evidence from my criminal charges, which show the Fairview Heights Police lied and fabricated evidence to support their actions in beating me. I allege the police, Joshua Alemond and Aaron Nyman, committed acts giving rise to official misconduct. Despite all my communications with Mr. Kelly he fails or refuses to address the matter, yet he claims to be the chief law enforcement officer of St. Clair County.
Since that time I’ve filed a civil lawsuit and approached former State’s Attorney Bob Haida, State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly, and Judge John Baricevic with criminal charges. They have refused to answer or mishandled the information. I’ve approached the News-Democrat as well. There is no justice here.

Just after he walked through the courthouse door the next day, Allison says Crawford County Circuit Court Judge Kimbara Harrell asked him whether he had a tape recorder in his pocket. He said yes. Harrell then asked him if it was turned on. Allison said it was. Harrell then informed the defendant that he was in violation of the Illinois wiretapping law, which makes it a Class 1 felony to record someone without his consent. “You violated my right to privacy,” the judge said.
I’ve been writing and speaking about the abuses and failings of government for some time. Some call me an anti-government zealot. That is like calling someone an anti-Santa Claus zealot. Neither one really exists. Government is just a convenient definition for an organized criminal enterprise used to soothe the consciences of its supporters when subduing others with whom it disagrees or from whom it demands wealth for its own perpetuation. It may have began as a “good idea”, but there are many good ideas which do not demand allegiance and obedience to, what is ultimately, a violent expression of power by force. There are places in this world were there is no articulable governing body aside from society itself. Government does not rise up from nature.
I tried to argue that point and Judge LeChien, after reflecting on my objection to the Exhibit, said that I was dwelling on a “punctilios” reading of the statute and that the evidence did satisfy the “intent” of the Act.
Once again, a St. Clair County Judge has exhibited callousness and arrogance in refusing to follow the law; this time against my niece when appearing in his court for a seat belt violation. Judge Vincent Lopinot, of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit bullied Melissa McCoy into taking a fine for a seat belt ticket which was never lawfully charged and denied here right to be heard when challenging the veracity of the offense.
As a matter of course, criminal charges of any type either felony or misdemeanor are initiated by the State’s Attorney or grand jury in our case management system. Since the documents you filed with my office were not filed by either entity, and because some record was required, those filings were assigned case number 10-MR-212.

On May 8, 2009, I appeared in courtroom 108 for the 20th Judicial Circuit Court in response to a Notice to Show Cause arising from a traffic ticket issued in 2006 by Collinsville, Illinois. The presiding judge was Zina Renea Cruse (pictured here). It appears that this courtroom is for first appearances relating to traffic/misdemeanor. Judge Cruse called my name and I approached the bench. When I questioned why I was being questioned about a dismissed charge, Judge Cruse attempted to tell me that, since Collinsville is in both Madison and St. Clair Counties, the Madison County part of Collinsville was dismissed, but not the St. Clair County side. I asked her if there were two charges arising from one incident which were filed in two counties by one municipality; to which she replied, “yes”. What that implies is that one traffic ticket issued by Collinsville subjected me to the jurisdiction of both Madison County and St. Clair County. That is either a bold-faced lie or an expression of incompetence. Furthermore, how would Judge Cruse have any information regarding the Madison County charge when she is sitting in St. Clair County? The charge from Collinsville was a municipal charge and the setting was municipal court in Collinsville.
