Judge to Stand Trial Over Perjury

Retired Mich. judge to stand trial over perjury
The Associated Press by ED WHITE - October 1, 2010

DETROIT, MI — A retired Detroit-area judge was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on criminal charges, five years after privately agreeing with prosecutors to conceal the identity of a paid police informant in a 103-pound cocaine bust. Mary Waterstone acknowledges that she allowed the informant and officers to lie about his relationship with Inkster police when he testified at trial in 2005. She said she did it to protect the safety of informant Chad Povish. The attorney general's office, however, said jurors and defense lawyers had a right to know. Judge David Robinson Jr. of 36th District Court agreed, and ordered Waterstone to go to trial on four felony charges, including improper communications and concealing perjured testimony. Robinson said Waterstone's actions violated a fundamental tenet of the justice system: "To seek the truth." "This is an extraordinary case involving an extraordinary set of circumstances," he said. Waterstone, 70, declined to comment. Her lawyer, Gerald Evelyn, said he would try to get the charges thrown out in Wayne County Circuit Court, where Waterstone was a judge for 10 years. "You make a mistaken call and now you're charged here with a crime. ... Mr. Povish's life was hanging in the balance," Evelyn told Robinson. Povish said this week that he was repeatedly told by then-prosecutor Karen Plants and Inkster police to lie about being an informant when he testified against Alexander Aceval in 2005. Assistant Attorney General William Rollstin said Waterstone's lack of personal gain in the case is irrelevant. She "willfully allowed perjury to go to the jury," Rollstin said in court. Plants, Wayne County's former top drug prosecutor, was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on conspiracy and other charges. Officers Robert McArthur and Scott Rechtzigel will also go to trial. Povish was arrested while transporting the cocaine. He was paid $4,500 for working with police but had hoped to get thousands more. He's considering a lawsuit. Aceval's 2005 cocaine trial ended in a mistrial when jurors couldn't reach a verdict. He later pleaded guilty and is in prison until at least 2015. He's now trying to get the plea thrown out on grounds that it was part of a tainted legal process. The Michigan Court of Appeals has said Waterstone and Plants' conduct was "disgraceful." The state Judicial Tenure Commission, which serves as a watchdog of judges, did not file a formal complaint but scolded Waterstone. The Attorney Grievance Commission has a complaint pending against Plants.

NY Lawyers and Judges, Quick send help into Michigan where a judge is persecuted (prosecuted) for allowing perjury. This is a malignant cancer which would metastasize throughout NY courts. No judge would be immune. And lawyers who'll fix your cases, when they're gone. Bring the Judicial Immunity "wet blanket" to throw over the judge.
Calling Saint Andrew, SOS (save our souls) in Michigan.

In NY, this is just standard operating procedure.

New Rules

NY CJC 10-10

5.1 Examination by Doctors/Medical Disability Cases
In appropriate situations, such as where a judge is alleged to be mentally or
physically unfit to serve, or where the judge’s capacity to participate in a hearing is
at issue, the Commission may appoint a qualified physician to conduct and report
on an independent medical examination of the judge.

How much do you pay a doctor to write the incompetancy report?
I may know some who would do it for free!

The statement of the day:

Bernadette E. Lupinetti, Esq. is a pimp selling children in the Orange County Court in Goshen New York for the purposes of sexual exploitation. And yes we have the documentation, audio and video to prove it. ;)You are going down chicken legs together with your judge we also have the video to bring him down.

Just another scam for the OCA.

There are already laws on the books that require medical/fitness exams for certain judicial positions, and they are never followed.

I had a judge who had terminal cancer for years and was repeatedly recertified despite the fact that the judge was constantly taking pills during the trial and was virtually unconscious during the proceedings. The only way this judge got off the bench, was by finally dying.

And don't try to get any confirmation that they actually do an exam, that they consider confidential under HIPAA.

Another waste of taxpayer time and money.

Step 1- believe you are better than others.
Step 2- become a lawyer for the wrong reasons.
Step 3- become a judge for the wrong reasons.
Step 4- believe you are above the law.
Step 5- believe you can lie when necessary.
Step 6- finally realize you sold your soul sometime back.
Step 7- rot in hell for all eternity.

no such thing as HIPPA!

Dear Shira Shiendlin,

We the People would like a copy of Medical Release form sent to the person who information was released and who requested this information, this includes Police Agencies.
If someone had a stalker in a Police Agency, how would we know?
Is paperwork being stolen, who stole it?
We want Federal Law to read, file a complaint at a Federal Agency, walk into any medical facility, DA's office, Sheriff's Dept, State Police etc with a Federal Agent and obtain your medical records kept at that facility.

look we have psych paperwork over here and its over there, nice try Niagara County I hope they put a bullet in your free loading heads!
Lying whores!

This also includes lawyers offices, such as Todd Schiffmacher, who told me in writing I am not allowed to see my own medical/legal file or anything used against me in a court of law, he should have been immediately arrested, if I was allowed to file a complaint at the FEDS, the Attorney Grievance should have arrested him, atleast took him in for questioning.

Federal Law needs to change, everyone was had, used in this one and for a long long time......
18 years, but then again Niagara County can not be sued for what they have been doing, so the whores have to continue to terrorize an innocent female, until what they commit suicide.

FEDERAL LAW NEEDS TO CHANGE AND BE ENFORCED!

what is wrong with Michigan charging a judge with perjury, they need to do things like we do over here in Buffalo and serve pizza's for your crime!

from BEN:

Joseph J. Jacobbi, 57, operator of Casa-Di-Pizza, a popular Elmwood Avenue restaurant, was spared a jail term on his massive sales tax fraud case, but the judge Monday ordered him to deliver 12 sheet pizzas to the City Mission once a week on Tuesdays for the next 52 weeks, beginning tonight.

After Jacobbi turned over a check for $25,000 -- part of the $104,295.31 court officials said he withheld from the state between March 2004 and the end of May 2008 -- the judge ordered the weekly pizza deliveries as a form of community service.

"I will leave the choice of toppings up to you," he told the nonplussed restaurant owner.

Though the judge declined to comment afterward, court officials said he felt that with the city's increasing number of out-of-work and homeless people, the pizza penalty would be a way to help the community's neediest in a very direct manner.


and the DA Office would like their choice of toppings not to prosecute for 1 year!

Dear Judge Matthew Murphy,

It may be to your discretion to file Federal Charges against the Beiter and Brauer gang of Pendleton. 18 years of complete harassment on this property, being a witness to those illegal drains, dumping, clearing and destroying one of the most beautiful pieces of property in the Town of Pendleton.
Since that property has now been purchased by a friend of the DA's Office and the Hollasch's illegal drains still exist onto that property also, the illegal drains and the Hollasch's basement are where those people would like to build their home, this inevitably floods their property.

It is possible you would send the Department of Justice into the Town of Pendleton?

Sincerely yours,

Karen Summers

All Judges as well as Attorneys should stand trial and be held for all the hurt and damage they have inflicted on society! One Judge means nothing!
