No Rights for the Wronged

After learning of the injustice characteristic and prevalent in the Cobb County and related Georgia Courts, not much surprises me. Upon hearing, "You will NOT believe", my standard response has become, "Trust me, I believe!" In fact, there clearly ARE a number of ongoing patterns employed by the judges and their henchmen to derail or deny justice to any persistent citizen, clouded by thoughts of pursuing right as opposed to wrong. But few have struck me with more resounding desperation than the tale of Marla Susan Ailion Wright (Marla), and her second husband, Albert Edwin Wright III, (Eddie). I have refrained from publicly writing of this travesty, until after Marla's 9:00 am hearing this morning (September 28th, 2006), in an effort to keep any retribution from her, but instead notified the Department of Justice and the Southern Center for Human Rights, among others. As Marla's case was noticed but not called by Judge Grubbs, it would appear, once again justice has been denied.

Marla first contacted me seeking someone, who knew what was going on in Cobb County and particularly in the courtroom of British Judge Adele Grubbs. While such contacts are NOT uncommon, I wondered why call me, someone so foolish to sacrifice every thing you had ever worked for in the name of "justice" in corporate America, currently under siege by BAR members and those serving same? But she continued to sporadically call along with an attorney Lorraine (Lori) Silvo, which seemed even stranger. At the time, Marla was calling while on work release from the jail, a fact I did not realize. And until viewing her case, I could not imagine, she had been jailed, as a result of having her children awarded to her former 'lawyer turned real estate type' husband (Bruce Ailion, now remarried to Judge Grubbs' personal friend and former Judge's wife, Robin Adams a recipient of commendations on behalf of former Judge Ross Adams posthumously awarded by the Cobb Delegation (Legislature)), for NOT being ABLE to pay CHILD SUPPORT to her husband, though she did possess the means to pay, in violation of statutory and constitutional law in GA. Marla literally received a jail sentence for an unlawful debt, a legal impossibility for any lawful soul WITHOUT THE MEANS TO PAY, but NOT an impasse for a connected judge on the Cobb County Bench, working within the network including the judiciary, legislature, and the media.

When Marla made the unavoidable mistake of standing in Judge Grubbs' Court in October of 2004, little did she know of the apparent backroom deals which had already been set in motion, from which only injustice would result. For as is an ongoing pattern in Judge Grubbs Courtroom, the evidence, the law, and the rules of the court had NO bearing when recycled and imposed by Grubbs' favorite Sheriff Neil Warren! Marla was found in CONTEMPT for nonpayment, though SHE HAD ALREADY FILED BANKRUPTCY, having been literally attacked from ALL sides, another ongoing pattern in Cobb Cases, where any lawful challenge is asserted. Therefore, ONLY THE FEDERAL COURTS HAD JURISDICTION, and as a result, she could NOT legally have been charged with anything relating to an inability to pay, even IF GA Law allowed such, which it does NOT! Despite these facts, a pleading entered on Marla's behalf by her bankruptcy lawyer, September 5th, 2006; however did NOT prompt any correction by British Judge Grubbs, to correct her error and release Marla from the Sheriff's custody.

Although there was overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing in Marla's divorce action against her husband Bruce Ailion, now remarried to Judge Grubb's personal friend, replete ex parte communications, undeniably documented and present in the record on March 30th and July 11th 2005 to name but a few, only Marla suffered the travesty of incarceration, now enduring 17 months of wrongful imprisonment, living literally the life of one subjected to an English DEBTORS PRISON, from which the forefathers fled Judge Grubbs' originating homeland. But the travesties and injustice against Marla and her family did not end with her own personal devastation. There was Marla's new husband desperately pleading and outraged by the injustice his wife was suffering, having not only being incarcerated, but additionally 100% of EVERYTHING Marla earned on work release was additionally being taken by Sheriff Warren for Judge Grubbs, in addition to charging Marla daily for the accommodations which include black mold and increasing incidents of staph infections, in a jail built upon toxic waste remains.

You see when Eddie, outraged by the illegal nature of lawyers and judges behavior, allegedly made a threatening comment yet to be verified, when he and Marla realized Marla's lawyer was not pushing for her legal rights and Judge Grubbs would NOT obey the law, he was arrested for making a terroristic threat, against Ailion, Grubbs, and Attorney Manheim. There was NO immediate arraignment for Eddie a 1st time offender, who had just lost his wife of 4 months to an ILLEGAL jail sentence, but instead 11 months of incarceration with the only option being a guilty plea! His lawyer was Constance McManus, the divorce lawyer for Lori Silvo, whose ex-husband challenged the Cobb County School Board, represented by Brock Clay Calhoun, whose antics and connections are well documented. Ms. McManus has long had aspirations for a judgeship beyond Magistrate Court, and works closely with Eddie's Judge Dorothy Robinson, on personal matters of dog walking and tennis, according to sources. And quite alarming was the invitation by Judge Grubbs for McManus' first luncheon engagement, upon the publication of Grubbs' relationship with Robin Adams, made partially known by the Marietta Daily Journal and more fully by this publication.

You see despite ALL Eddie and Marla had endured, Eddie following his 11 month incarceration and ban from 4 counties by Robinson, to include Fulton, where he pays a mortgage, but cannot live, with Silvo's assistance, submitted a "Motion to Modify Sentence", tendered to and received by Robinson's Office on August 1st. But miraculously Bruce Ailion, had knowledge of the aforementioned pleading, and was able to enter in Robinson's Court on August 7th and the court record on August 9th a 38 page "Victim's Statement in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Modify Sentence", which included 2 internationally published articles by this author, in which Marla's case was briefly mentioned, references of which were taken from actual court documents. Ailion requested of the court to again incarcerate Eddie and attempted to incite the court via false statements and accusations, as well as defenses for Judge Grubbs' illegal actions, tendering the pleading himself to the Court, which Eddie was not even given a copy of, (a little more ex parte for good measure!). Now how would Bruce know what was only in Judge Robinson's Office as of the 7th? And more striking is Eddie's pleading, which is stamped into Court Clerk Jay Stephenson's Office and the subsequent court record on August 8th, as opposed to the 1st, when Judge Robinson received the document. In the final analysis, how did Bruce even know of the pleading only in Judge Robinson's Office on the 7th? Moreover Bruce's ability to generate a 38 page responsive pleading 1 day prior (the 7th) but stamped in the Clerk's Office the 9th, conveniently the day after Eddie's though the public entry of Eddie's precipitating 'Motion' was NOT entered until the 8th? Such a succession is not only extraordinary, but impossible, considering the volume of attachments and related activity by Judge Grubbs and the Cobb DA's Office to create issues with Eddie, that were unbeknownst to him. The answer, seems to be at least in part, Judge Adele Grubbs and the "cohesiveness" among both the Cobb Judiciary and members of the GA BAR. Additionally noteworthy is the fact, the GA Supreme Court denied review of Marla's issue on September 8th, the same day Eddie's pleading was acknowledged in the Cobb Superior Court Record.

Despite the aforementioned, Eddie did learn of a court date for his 'Motion,' which was to be heard by Judge Robinson, with his representation being appointed by Judge Robinson, none other than Constance McManus. And while Eddie, repeatedly according to a letter published to Judge Robinson, attempted to contact Counselor McManus, he couldn't so much as obtain a return call prior to the hearing date. And in follow-up, a letter from McManus argues the semantics of whether she was assigned, appointed, or hired, distinguished by: "When the judge did not take your motion for modification without an attorney, she [Judge Robinson] requested that I argue the motion and that you not be present", ultimately stating, "I agreed to do so, although it is unclear if I was appointed or simply requested." So Eddie's version of due process received was the notification by Judge Robinson that a hearing had been held on his 'Motion', and the same was denied. There appears to be no transcript, no information or conversation with any representative counsel prior, all because the judge would not allow him to be present, and he was not a lawyer or retaining one. Apparently ONLY lawyers are allowed any semblance or consideration of due process.

Judge Grubbs, had phoned both Robinson and the DA notifying them of Eddie's "probation violations", for CALLING THE COURT CLERK, to inquire of the status of a pleading for his wife! Was Eddie aware he was NOT allowed to call the Court Clerk? Did he know the transfer of a phone call by an operator would be a probation violation? Did his Probation Officer notify him of any violations? Did his Probation Officer inform him prior to the hearing, he was in violation of probation for making a phone call by any method or means? Was this issue presented to Eddie in a court of law? Was he notified, phoned, or presented with regard to additional accusations? Could he appear at his own hearing? Was he allowed to present evidence? NO, of course NOT! This is Cobb County, and as Judge Mary Staley conveyed to a Texas Crowd in Grapevine, "judges must work with the Administrator and fellow judges in the court [and how] to promote unity and cohesiveness within the court...". It's NOT about 'due process' or justice.

So let's regroup what do we know about justice as dispensed by the Cobb Courts located in the most recently designated "All American City", Marietta, GA? Don't forget, this is the birthplace of such travesties as Leo Frank, and where Fred Tokars, a lawyer turned judge was allowed to have his own wife executed, in addition to money laundering and tax evasion. Where is he now? Free and protected. And the very judges on the Cobb Bench and various GA Courts, were all prosecutors, associates, or acquaintances of Tokars himself.

Without question, Marla was "railroaded" though a federal court had jurisdiction, a fact known to her ex Bruce Ailion and Judge Adele Grubbs, yet she is STILL being illegally held in a Cobb County Detention Facility. Additionally, Marla was jailed for nonpayment of a debt by Judge Adele Grubbs, though penned is both an admission and verification of same to Federal Bankruptcy Court Judge Margaret Murphy, (Judge Robinson's husband served in the Federal Court System). Marla was irrefutably unable to pay debts, and received discharge of same on January 27, 2004, prior to Judge Grubbs' contempt finding of October 2004.

Eddie was convicted, incarcerated, and banished from Cobb and all counties, which border, though his wife is incarcerated in Cobb County in virtual servitude, for allegedly threatening Bruce (the ex), Judge Grubbs, and Marla's former attorney, after issues of representation were raised. Now the fact that Judge Grubbs is on the Board of Governors for the GA BAR Association, certainly makes any claim of legal representation or ramifications to BAR Members a passing notion, IF the BAR did actually police its own, which of course any victim can assure is NOT happening in GA and throughout America, akin to the same treatment by the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC), allegedly responsible for policing the actions of judges!

What does this story mean to property owners, citizens, Americans or other countries? Every day application of the law or lack thereof, attests to the fact we truly are living in a country ruled by untouchables, where the 'rule of law' is selectively enforced ONLY by a brotherhood FOR same, whose goal is not justice, but protection of their own. And what role does the FBI or the Department of Justice play in the 'Order of the Brotherhood'? Maybe that's a new chapter based on public disclosure. What was the "Contract with America," really laying the groundwork for? But don't forget, after calling for an investigation into "political corruption and judicial misconduct," from the GA Office of the FBI and the US Attorney's Office both in Atlanta, it was once again British Judge Adele Grubbs, who ignored "jurisdiction", (another of many patterns), illegally ordering the arrest of the Rices, candidates for the GA House and Senate, after Appeals Court Clerk William Martin III destroyed the Appellate Court Record. Since there is currently a pending Appeal before the GA Supremes, with evidence of judicial corruption, fraud, and color of law violations, how much more can be covered up or ignored? After being sued by a dissolved corporation, car/home vandalized, identity stolen, threatened with jail, and denied due process in every GA Court, one can only wonder, Mr. President, where is the 'rule of law' and to whom are we paying to provide such?

Will America "Land of the Free," continue to be known by her newly evolving title, "Land of Corruption" and will our current elected officials add to that 'Imprisonment and Torture' in the absence of 'due process'? Our prayers are with Americans who KNOW of the injustice our courts have become marked by. Former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said it best, our lower courts are replete, and losing credibility. As the conference in Georgetown on the "State of the Judiciary" begins, the question, when will there be a solution and ceasing of escalating injustice, grows ever more audible around the world? Speak up America, while you still can!
