"By making a "point" we only get less justice!" More from the Citizens of Hamilton Montana

hamilton montana
"" In the Montana Distict #21 Court, Judge Haynes and Judge Langton preside.

It is the state court where felonies, and appeals from the Justice or County Court are heard.
Justice Court where Bailey and Clute preside are for county misdemeanors and small claims.

******

This is what the voters wanted at the last election when informally polled. Watch and contribute to this page. We are exposing the judicial nightmare that is Ravalli County and Montana.

*******
It is encouraged that as many residents as possible observe the court proceedings in any Ravalli Court. Public viewing means these judges and JP's don't operate in the dark.

It might shock you to see non probable cause, leading witnesses, and giving away of justice by Judge Langton, and others. Being treated differently for sexual orientation, objection to local justice is prevalent in our courtrooms. Remember your freedom to speak, assemble, and petition your government.

The real question is: when will these justices throw anything out or think for themselves? I would be proud to see the day a county prosecutor is put to the fire or jailed for any misconduct in a court of law in Ravalli County. When evidence is alleged to have been tampered with, throw the case out of court.

A quick suggestion to your staff, clerks, and support staff: implement a system to track, and properly dispose of quashed warrants. Also don't issue false warrants. Have a system to independently double check if something is a crime, or must be written as a warrant.
======================================================== TRUST


System: truth, reliability, understanding, standardization, and tested. Implementing this system will stop the problematic arrest of citizens whose warrants are quashed (all requirements met and not needed anymore) and this information is not telegraphed to all three departments: Law, Prosecution, Judges.

Errors in paperwork should not result in a citizen being arrested, but in the removal with cause of any county employee found to be at fault for the mistake. The county can either implement this system, or continue to be named as Defendants in multimillion dollar lawsuits or be indicted. =========================================================

Our "Independent Judiciary" in Ravalli County:

Judge Reardon-Hamilton Municipal Court
Mr. Reardon is a former deputy county attorney from Ravalli County. He is fixated on his psyche of Marine Corps training. "Men" playing football, and any group of men are glorified, as is his training. This Judge has a 90% success rate of having residents of this valley paying for violations issued from the Hamilton Police Dept.

Our group has watched as Reardon has picked a jury to convict one of our members. As a Marine, Mr. Reardon needs to find a sense of duty other than the "system". This system has been kind to Mr. Reardon, offering retirements, and return. We are hoping that the next reitrement or is for the good of the community.

Without a doubt, based upon the other justices in Hamilton, The Honorable Reardon has the highest capacity as a justice. He just has to set his mind to it, and not take the easy, "deal" route.

While we think he should still think about his life after being a judge, we have high hopes for him as Municipal Judge in Hamilton, Montana. When the Police Department is fine tuned, and we have a decent city attorney, his court will be put to better use. Be ready Judge Reardon!

Justice Court Judge Robin Clute
Ms. Robin Clute is a former clerk to a Judge in Seattle, WA. She is also a former employee to George H. Corn, Ravalli County Prosecutor since January 1991.

Ms. Robin Clute regularly calls Mr. Corn for legal advice, and in so doing is compromised from being an independent judiciary.

Just like the Television show "Millionaire" Justice Clute has "lifelines" to call when she doesn't know what to do. This is all the time. Robin's lifelines all call the Ravalli County Attorney's Office.

The excessive bail is the word of the summer of 2009. Clute does not have a clue....it evident. We don't need a $50,000 question, we already know the answer.

Ms. Clute did refuse a order of protection to facilitate malicious prosecution by Mr. Corn. She should not be reelected in 2010. She barely won the last election in 2006 by only 2,000 votes.

If you own a firearm, this is good reason to vote for a contender in 2010 for this job. Justice Clute has taken the carry permit, and seized a firearm from a guide, without cause, or warrant. This Bitterroot resident can now not make a living due to this Justice or JP. Can a JP have this kind of power?

When a woman has been charged with a violent crime, and lives over 100 miles away, JP Clute wishes to punish, and take livlihood away of a Bitterroot taxpayer. Where is the logic when an order of protection is upheld against someone who was the victim? Welcome to the Justice System in the Bitterroot Valley.

"Substitute" Justice Court Judge Jennifer Ray
Ms. Ray is welcomed to the Ravalli County Justice system. We recognize that it is a very difficult situation to walk into, and we admire her apparent strength. Due process is difficult to re-establish in an area once it is washed away. Please give Justice Ray all due respect for stepping in to do work for Justice in Ravalli County.

It didn't take long for us to get the scoop on Ms. Ray. Turns out she was previously a clerk for Bailey, and has experience crafting a false arrest warrant for a member of ours. She was US Representative Denny Rehberg's treasurer as well.

This gives is the missing third link to all of our US representatives in Washington, DC. We thought Conrad Burns was scum, it apparently rubbed off on the other reps in our delegation. Ms. Ray enjoys giving injustice, so we are told in a letter, so she will fit right in.

The more the merrier, just another example of the system thinking that with replacement, shifting of personnel that it all is ok. I'm sure we'll find a nice cozy place for Ms. Rey in the US Justice System.

Just when we thought we had a real judge to bring justice, we get the "Bitterroot bendover" (this came from a business owner in Hamilton regarding employee embezzlement, and attempts at claims against employers).

Ms. Ray is best friends with Sheriff Chris Hoffman's wife, which would make her the ideal "independent judge" in Ravalli County.

Cozzy enough to be Hoffman's treasurer as well. Talk about shorting justice, all Mrs. Hoffman would have to do is "ask a special favor" of her friend Jennifer. When Ravalli County taxpayers are shorted of their rights in court, we all lose.

Justice Court Judge Jim Bailey
Mr. Bailey will do anything that Mr. Corn asks him to do. This is also a sample in Ravalli County of a non independent judiciary.

Mr. Bailey will issue a warrant for an arrest when a crime has not been committed, or when pressure is needed to be applied by the Ravalli County Attorney's office. Even when the judge knows a resident will be out of town, he does not hesitate to send law enforcement to a home in the middle of the night.

The best summary of Justice Bailey is that he will do exactly what George H. Corn wishes in his court decisions. If you catch him walking, chewing gum, and listening to music at the same time, he is having a good day.

Justice Bailey is throught to be former law enforcement in the State of California. In our community, we have to have someone more trained in legal matters, and is not on-call to Mr. Corn. See the elections page for office information, and run for this public office in 2010.

District Court Judge Jeff Langton
If anything would scare you, it would be 15 minutes in Langton's courtroom in the public benches. Best viewing times are Wednesdays at 9 am. You will see horrifying justice as the county attorney office is given most any request they ask for. If you know anything about justice, your will be breathless after a short period in this courtroom.

EXAMPLE: a 20-something suspect in custody was not allowed to work prior to his trial due to the County Attorney Deputy, or "state" saying he was a dangerous, multiple offender (4 Driving While In Hamilton's). His child support will go lacking, do to this hardened "criminal". Suffering by the mother and child. Here is an example of the 'new crop' of suspects and money sources for Corn's system.

Example #2: a second young man was remanded to the custody of the sheriff on Wed. 4/22/09. The defense asked for own recognizance or no bail, state asked for no bail. Guess who won?

The best part is Judge Langton's two DUI convictions by law enforcement who regularly testify in his court, and by prosecutors who dealt with his case. Can you say compromised?
Langton is up for re-election in Nov. 2010.

Please, lets do better

Jim Haynes, State District Court Judge
Jim is a long time forester, and a hockey player. Rumor is he likes his skates sharp. Not much is known about his willingness to play ball with Corn. If he wishes to stand up for residents here as an independent judiciary, it would be appreciated.

Due process is solely in his hands, as you can see, the other supposed independent judges are far from having the ability to throw things out, uphold the law equally, or otherwise think for themselves what decisions are needed to uphold justice in Ravalli County.

Tell us that knowing about the law enforcement practices, that any level minded judge would throw out at least half of the cases on their court docket.

Let us know if you have any information on Judge Haynes.

News for The Ravalli Republic (not a great source) indicate that this Justice did throw out a case on a technicality, due to what was thought to be a probation officer mistake of some kind. If this is true, we salute Justice Haynes for being an independent judiciary. Lets find one like him to fill the other department in District court. See Elections page on this site for information.

The Montana Supreme Court
The word on the street (unconfiirmed) is that a supreme court decision can be yours for a reasonable sum of $50,000. Not too much money for justice, is it! ""

"Judicial Ethics rule we think might apply in Ravalli County:"

"" When the races are open for JP, and District Court Judge, this site will run information on the candidates in 2010. Our voters asked for a Judicial Watch, here it is.

Judicial Ethics rule we think might apply in Ravalli County:

RULE 2.16
Responding to Judicial and Lawyer Misconduct

(A) A judge having knowledge* that another judge has committed a violation of this Code that raises a substantial question regarding the judge’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a judge in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority.*

(B) A judge having knowledge that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question regarding the lawyer’s honesty,
trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority.

(C) A judge who receives information indicating a substantial likelihood that another judge has committed a violation of this Code shall take appropriate action.

(D) A judge who receives information indicating a substantial likelihood that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct shall take appropriate action.

We did not read that a judge should cover up unethical or unprofessional actions.

*********************

Of interest is the categories in other counties for Order of Protection.

Ravalli County does not list

Intimidation
Endangerment
Arson (or threat of)
We are supposed to just "suck it up" and not have our taxes pay to protect us.

Why are we so different than a different county in Montana, we share two constitutions?

These Justices are also above parking violations in the City of Hamilton---not for long. A conversation which occurred in chambers in Ravalli County: (we will protect the guilty: no names given)

"If you defend your client in this case, you will never practice law again in Ravalli County"
a separate defense attorney said:

"if you don't play ball, they won't let you work in Ravalli County again."
we also heard from sources that a Montana Supreme Court decision can be bought for a mere sum of $50,000. So if you want justice, make sure your checkbook is fat. ""

Note to Post... I too have heard of the $50,000 price tag for a Supreme Court Decision in the State of Montana AND I have Witnessed Discrimination and Injustice in Hamilton Montana.

I have seen 6 cops called for simple video camera taping in an area that had NO posting ANYWHERE that said No Video Taping... and in that instant the Ravalli Republic WAS called ... not to Report the REAL news because THAT story of THAT day never Came out.. I am now led to believe Looking back that the Ravalli Republic was ONLY there to Defame, Harass, and Set up Michael Spreadbury as he Simply was Trying to Give Voice to an Innocent Montana Victim... ME - Crystal L. Cox ...

Judge Robin Clute Gave Sean Boushie a Protective Order Against Me, Judge Hayne Denied me this Same Right.

Make No Doubt About it, Something is Very Wrong within
the Judicial System of Hamilton Montana.

Now I Have to Drive 5 Hours, Take Time off My Work to Go to a Hearing for my Stalker to Be Protected against me, has Judge Clute no Compassion, no Information, no way to get facts .. what is Wrong with the Ravalli County Court System.

They deny me a Protective Order weeks ago, and with my Proof in Hand, and then they Give Sean Boushie a Protective Order Against Me. Shocking, Corrupt, Lacking in Human Rights... ??

What could it possibly be, I mean the order was Flat Out Lies, Wrong associations, Crazy Information and no real proof .. and after he answered an email sent to the email address of my Death Threat. What is Robin Clute thinking, she is endangering my Life.. Shocking...

Gay And Lesbian Right Groups, Hate Crimes Advocates, the ACLU, Woman's rights, and more need to come to Hamilton and Speak out.. this Man saying he Fears me after he threatens to KILL me, well Shocking.. Can I prove he threatened to Kill me? I know he did, this is my blog, my opinion, my experience and yes there is no doubt to me, it could only be him that sent that Death Threat and there is a File in Lincoln County proving this, proving he owns the email address CrystalCoxIsABitch.com and Item Number 47, 51, 52 that Robin Clute supposedly has according to my Protective Order Should PROVE that without a Doubt, Sean Boushie sent my Death Threat and She Granted him protection against ME... based on his saying he was afraid.

I feel this man has threatened to Kill me, to Put me Down Permanently and did so on August 6th and I brought a file an inch thick with reasons why I felt this way and I was Flat Out Denied a Protective Order from Judge Haynes. I have a signed statement from him as to the Multiple Reasons of Why.

Why Should I have TO Drive 5 hours to a Court Hearing, Spend my Money and My Time.. to be subject to this abuse, this discrimination, this woman hating corruption?
