Video Recording of Public Court Hearings

Dear VAWA County Law Purveyors - (Let's just start calling Thurston Cy courts for what they are since we have a national reputation for perfecting the VAWA and federal Title IV kick back scratch, the drug court racket aside) Note - Thurston and VAWA will be interchangeable henceforth in this posting.  You are likely aware of the recent scandal and scrutiny of the King County courts since the disappearance of Sky Metalwala and the exposed gender bias of Commissioner Jacqueline Jeske that led to that unfortunate situation where an innocent 2 year old child is still missing. This Video recording of her ruling (@1:22) is very telling and exposes this judicial bad apple. Despite a similar systematic and prevalent gender bias, unchecked ex parte interference and a similar VAWA funds driven agenda, King County does video record their public hearings as exemplified by the video in the footer of this email. We also have taken note that in the Jeremy Hughes hearing in Hawaii that HI video records their public court hearings in that state too. Indu did an eloquent job appearing by telephone in that Thurston DV Inc created legal quagmire. I’m not sure what the charge to litigants is in these other jurisdictions when requesting a video copy (like your charges for audio recordings and court docs).  But, I’m sure it could be made profitable for the court enterprises of Thurston County. If paper copies cost 25 or 50 cents (& $5 to put your stamp it), you could charge a ton for video copies.  We'd pony up some more dough for a video.  So, when do you think VAWA County courts will begin video recording hearings? Indu clearly has had a (even if unintended) beneficial influence on Commissioner Schaller as Chris has really improved her game and professional demeanor leaps and bounds over her past tendencies towards disrespecting male litigants and emotional tirades on the bench. My last experience with her was much less dehumanizing and humiliating than in years past. It was actually, unexpectedly quite pleasant and calm despite the same illogical outcome and blatant abuse/legal manipulation of a temporary restraining order that has ran on for years and years with no incident (prior to or since its inception).  Side Note: A TCFCR Trick of the Trade Story for another day.  The gender bias and road travelled are much better disguised now in VAWA County family courts. So, with Paula Cranky and Mama Bear retiring plus an improved Schaller riding next to Hargrove's commissioner, it might not be so detrimental (or as much of an insurance pool liability any longer) to now consider the profit stream that could be generated from video sales of your VAWA court performances.  Budgets are tight and we all could use a little extra scratch.  Isn't it all about the profit dollars generated in your courts and ancillary services?  Sure, there are some died in the wool man hating feminists in the bunch.  But, at the end of the day, isn't it really just all about the money?   In addition to an added revenue stream for you, consider the WA Courts new posture and approach on public records and open government in our courts (Nast v. Micheals misapplication etc.). TC courts are no stranger to the latter. Video taping would be a step in the direction of having at least the appearance of transparency in our judicial branch of government. A good step in restoring the fallen public confidence in the Wa Courts.  So, please, VAWA county courts, start video taping, restoring the public's confidence in the charade and make some more scratch in the process.


Why don't they record the hearings in Thurston as they do in most others venues?  It is commonplace elsewhere.  Perhaps they realize that public confidence in an inerrant racket is a tall order anyway.  Others might say it is because hack judges like Casey and Wickham have become masters of tainting the written court record by interjecting comments and statements that could only be read in prejudice against the target litigant. This creates a favorable record for appeal and they are good at this tactic.  The court reporters work hand in hand with the judges and commissioners.  They are very crafty as to what actually gets on the record.  I'm sure it's just for efficiency sake.  Video recordings would not only correct these judicial malpractices but likely reduce staff overhead costs.  So, increased revenues AND reduced overhead costs.  Are we making any sense to government trained employees yet?


Another possible outcome would be the benefit of having some accountability for abusive behavior and outrageous rulings.  Like Commissioner Jacqueline Jeske calling mom Metalwala a fit parent that poses no danger to anyone just prior to mom "losing" her son.  Or like this King Cy commish in the video below (Les Ponomarchuk) who could sorely use some judicial canon review in addition to anger management classes.  I kind of think his behavior is borderline DV in Schaller's self professed view of the 26.50 law.  He is acting very intimidating and bully like and has obviously scared the respondent.  Get out the Duluth Wheel, girls.  We have a winner!  There is definitely a present fear of this judicial officer of the court.  A very useful tool this video recording is.  Oh, they use the "temporary order" Court Trick of the Trade in King county too.  You'll also notice that lieyers interfere with supervised visitations there, as well.  It is also noted that they say a fit parent is "a threat to the children" when men don't drink the DV industry Kool Aid.  A loving, fit parent becomes "not in compliance with treatment" when they refuse to be bullied into the DV industry's false allegation tunnel of love.  This attorney (ex parte specialist Ms. Zaike) would fit right in here in VAWA county.


No court bias here . . . 

PS - Joel Johnston makes a couple good points . . . 
1. The pro se respondent mentions several times that Karman Icky (the lying attorney) had ex-party discussions with the Commissioner/Judge.  She doesn't argue that point, she doesn't object to it. This is now evidence to be put into a hearing.  It is now a fact as a matter of record since she didn't argue against it or object.  So, any of you officers of the court and state of Washington authorities who read this now have an obligation to report this violation.  Hmmm and the beat goes on.
2.  King Cy commissioner Les Ponomarchuk states that he is represented by an excellent attorney.  It would be helpful if he would just give him the rest of the list of "excellent attorney’s" he would recommend (that have favor with his court), and a copy of the list of bad attorney’s that come to "his" courtroom.  We'd all love to know which one’s will have a better outcome when they are in front of Mr. Ponomarchuk.  Down her in VAWA county it's easier to know since it's a small pond.  Schaller's own law firm, Redford's Women's Law Firm and Con Em', Take em' and Misandry are the obvious front runners in any contest in VAWA county.
