DETROIT – in a very unusual move, a lawyer continues a judge certification the County of Wayne, and two lawyers appointed to the Court, accusing of looting of the estate of the late icon for rights civil Rosa Parks.  By Donna Terek, Gannett
Rights icon Rosa civic, Parks, a photo of 1993. By Donna Terek, Gannett Rights icon Rosa civic, Parks, a photo of 1993. In the court documents, lawyer Stephen g. Cohen stated that judge Freddie Burton Jr. conspired with counsel for approval John Chase Jr., Melvin Jefferson, Jr., allowing the pair to accumulate more than $507,000 especially legal costs unnecessary which drained the estate of parks of its liquidity, leaving $88,000 debt.Cohen also said Burton, secret hearings and illegitimate decisions, allowed the pair to concoct a breach of confidentiality false conflict. Cohen said that the judge used the dispute is to undress Elaine Steele and Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute that she created with their share of property of parks, said parks can be up to $ 8 million. “Chase and Jefferson, in collaboration with j. Burton, illegal, malicious and illegally comploté… for the illegal purpose of raids estate Ms. Parks of its value,” Cohen said in a motion for approval of 38 pages. He requested a trial jury in the Court of probate and asked Burton to withdraw from presiding over the estate of parks. Burton refused to comment on the dispute, the latest twist in a long battle that began when the nieces and nephews parks have challenged the validity of his confidence after his death in 2005. Chase and Jefferson is not return calls for comment. The move of Cohen predicted approval specialists would fail. “It’s over there.” “This is really, really,” said Andrew Mayoras, a Troy, Michigan, probate lawyer and co-author of the trial & heirs: famous combat of Fortune! “Disagreement with and to challenge the decisions of a judge is one thing, but a judge and lawyers of their actions, he appointed is another matter entirely,” Mayoras said, adding that Burton, Chase and Jefferson are highly respected. Patricia Patterson-Courie, a lawyer for approval Clinton Township, Michigan, who has taught the law of succession at the University of Detroit Mercy, agree. “It is difficult to prove allegation, and it would be very difficult to produce evidence of a conspiracy,” said Patterson. She said that simply, Cohen could be try to force Burton to withdraw from estate of parks. But Larry Dubin, Professor of law, University of Detroit Mercy, said: “perhaps judge Burton feel increasing pressure to recuse himself now that it is currently placed in a defensive position”. Cohen said that wanting to Burton, Chase and Jefferson to restore all the money of the estate. If Burton refuses to recuse himself, Cohen could appeal the decision to the Chief Justice Wayne County Probate Milton Mack Jr., Wayne County Circuit Court, and the courts of appeal of the State. To discourage forum shopping, court rules make it difficult for lawyers to disqualify judges. A hearing on the applications of Cohen is scheduled Tuesday. This is the second time in a month that Cohen accused Chase of misconduct in a battle of succession. In April, Cohen filed court documents accusing a Detroit law firm and Chase of insinuating in the estate of Don Barden, casinos financial magnate Cohen said Chase and the company has tried to manipulate the procedures certification fresh Rake excessive and obtained from a judge to seal the record of the Court to the brothers and sisters of Barden in the dark. Parks became a hero of civil rights by refusing to abandon his seat in white on a bus in Alabama in 1955. She and her husband settled finally in Detroit. Parks, having no children, implemented a succession plan to give much of his personal and intellectual property of the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for self development and Steele, his assistant for a long time and caregiver. Plan of estate of parks called Steele and 36th District Judge Adam Shakoor to manage the estate to retirement. But it won’t happen. After the nephews and 13 nieces contested parks his estate plan, Burton named Chase and Jefferson to support. Steele, the Institute and the parents settled their differences in a confidential agreement which gave parents 20% ownership of the parks and licence fees to its name. The rest went to the Institute and Steele. Although the agreement called for Burton to Steele and Shakoor in charge of the estate, Cohen said that Burton has refused, allowing to Chase and Jefferson continue to run huge legal bills. After more money of the estate was missing, Cohen said, the lawyers accused Cohen of the disclosure of the confidential agreement. That prompted Burton undress Steele and the Institute on their part. He indicated that he planned to give their game to a charity of his choice. New York City auctioneers Guernsey attempts to sell the property of parks to an institution that can put them on public display. Chase and Jefferson have denied any wrongdoing, and Michigan, Court of Appeal held that rights were appropriate and that they are alone were responsible for the value of the possessions of the parks. Last summer, Cohen asked the Supreme Court of Michigan set aside that decision. In December and January, the High Court ordered Burton to Steele and Shakoor in charge of the estate. Although reinstated Burton Steele and Shakoor, Cohen said that the judge has refused to give them control over the property of parks and helped Chase and Jefferson to ding of the estate of an additional $ 120,000 in legal fees.

Thursday was not a good day for middle linebacker Rolando McClain Oakland.  McClainHowever, his judicial fate in a case of aggression has not been sealed according to ESPN Adam Schefter of Alabama. He reported that after being sentenced to 180 days in jail, Attorney of McClain, Harvey Steinberg, said McClain has filed an application for a trial by jury, and now, under the law of the State, “the process again everywhere.” Steinberg said that McClain is notified at a later date, when the jury trial begins. McClain was arrested in November on the aggression of the tort, weapons to firearms and other charges after the police said that he drew a firearm in a fight in his hometown of Decatur. It was home for a week of game to attend a family funeral. The fact that McClain will get a jury trial gives him a second chance. However, McClain will likely face strong evidence against him. His co-defendant has testified against McClain and there is a video of the alleged assault. If he is convicted in the trial by jury, McClain should probably serve any time in prison. He could also face discipline from the NFL.

 Rosa Lee Parks died of natural causes at 92 in her home in Detroit on October 24, 2005. (UPI Photo/Ricardo Watson/Files)? DETROIT, May 17 (UPI) — A Michigan lawyer claimed in a petition that a probate judge and two court-appointed lawyers conspired to drain the Rosa Parks’ estate of cash. Attorney Stephen G. Cohen said Wayne County Probate Judge Freddie Burton Jr. had conspired with probate lawyers John Chase Jr. and Melvin Jefferson Jr., allowing them to accumulate more than $507,000 in mostly unnecessary legal fees from Parks’ estate, the Detroit Free Press reported. Paying the legal fees drained the estate of its cash and left it $88,000 in debt, the Free Press said. “Chase and Jefferson, together with Judge Burton, illegally, maliciously and wrongfully conspired … for the illegal purpose of raiding Mrs. Parks’ estate of its value,” Cohen said in a probate petition. He requested a jury trial in probate court and that Burton remove himself from presiding over the Parks’ estate. Jefferson called Cohen’s claims a “great fabrication,” The Detroit News reported. “Anything Mr. Chase and I have done, we’ve done according to court order, and I highly contest this matter,” Jefferson said. He said Burton “has handled himself in an exemplary manner.” Chase did not return a call seeking comment, the Free Press said. Burton said he could not comment and deferred comment to Wayne County Chief Probate Judge Milton L. Mack Jr. Mack declined comment, pointing out he would hear a petition if Burton decides against removing himself from the case. Parks, who died in 2005 in Detroit, became a well-known figure in the civil rights movement when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated Montgomery, Ala., bus in 1955. Parks left most of her estate to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute, which Cohen represents. Parks’ nieces and nephews contested her estate and a confidential agreement gave them 20 percent of the property and royalties from licensing her name. The rest went to the institute and Elaine Steele, Parks’ longtime assistant and caregiver.

John Edwards was a bad husband has cheated on his wife while she died of cancer, but it never breaks the law, his lawyer said in closing arguments today. The prosecution said Edwards was more than a bad husband. The former presidential candidate in the election was the Chief Architect of a criminal regime to illegally use the campaign contributions to cover the history of love. Edwards, 58, is on trial for allegedly using nearly $ 1 million in donations from wealthy donors Fred Baron and Rachel “Bunny” Mellon to keep secret his relationship with master ministerial Hunter to protect his presidential ambitions in 2008 and later hopes to win a place as vice President or Attorney General. The jury is invited to decide whether political donations used to dupe the Government was money or gifts from friends who have helped Edwards mislead his wife, Elizabeth, who was dying of cancer. If convicted, Edwards could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. “It is a matter which should define the difference between a person commits a wrongful act, and someone to commit a crime”, said attorney Abbe Lowell Edwards. “John was a bad husband, but it is not the chance more éloignése that John has done or intended to violate the law,” said Lowell. “If what John was a crime, we would be better build classrooms of hearing more, hire more prosecutors and build more prisons,” he said. Lowell has developed a large part of the blame to solicit and spend money on the old assistant Andrew Young and his wife Cheri Young, a couple said “pourrait shame Bonnie and Clyde.” The Youngs, said, used scandal Edwards to grow. “John conduct was shameful, but it was human….” “Lies of Andrew Young on the stand and the Government is sponsoring these lies is worse”, said Lowell. “Andrew Young will do anything, he wants… and Government support his case on it”, he said. Lowell said that the money was in support of a campaign, not just John Edwards political campaign. “There was a purpose of campaing – it was – it was a campaign to make the rich Youngs beyond their means…”. To make the rich Youngs with the money they win, “he says. John Edwards remained impassive closing arguments, much the way he had throughout the trial, keeping his Chin leaning against his crossed hands and occasionally looking at the Board. Attorney Robert Higdon tried to convince the jury that Edwards was a politician ambitious archly concentrated on obtaining a plu Office. “It would deny, deceive and manipulate” Higdon said the jury. “The whole scheme was concocted to support John Edwards political ambitions.” The Attorney recalled the testimony of Andrew Young, who was uncomfortable on the “” ‘ load of money “which was”way way way over the limit”donations that is authorized by the Federal Election Commission, but that was to”help John Edwards maintain his candidature.”, said” Higdon said that Cheri Young testified that she insisted that she be by Edwards personally that the complex plane to funnel money through his account of Mellon was legal and that Edwards curtly told, “make money”. “Ladies and gentlemen, it is what it is,” he said to the jury. Edwards wanted so much to be a “player on the national scene” that it ignored the rules of campaign financing put in place for the rich and the poor equal say in policy. “John Edwards has forgotten his own rhetoric,” Higdon said, referring to the speech of campaign for the “two Americas” Edwards. “He had no problem dividing the two Americas when it served its own object.” Higdon began his closing argument, recalling that day in December 2006, when Edwards declared his candidacy. “He wanted to our leader.” He asked for our vote, said Higdon. In the audience that day was ministerial Hunter and “that day, the seeds of destruction were sown.”

Young lawyer Michael Sfard has achieved something that the White House and left-leaning Israeli political leaders could not. His legal work on behalf of Palestinian clients is compelling Israel in at least two instances to roll back?back Jewish settlements.? Mr. Sfard won two significant supreme court decisions that, if implemented, will bring about the?demolition of the unauthorized West Bank settlement outposts of Ulpana and Migron by July 1 and August 1 respectively. The outposts are to be torn down for being built on private Palestinian property,?though at least in the case of Ulpana, the Israeli government is still seeking an alternate outcome. The settlements?contravene Israeli as well as international law. By turning to the supreme court, Israeli opponents of the occupation that began with Israel’s capture of the West Bank during the 1967 war are enjoying a modest but noteworthy degree of success. Critics of the approach, however, argue that Sfard’s actions go against the will of the elected majority in parliament, where support for the settlers is strong. IN PICTURES –?Unsettled: Jewish settlements in the West Bank Interviewed in his Tel Aviv office, which is adorned with a map of Israel from 1958 when the country did not occupy the West Bank, Sfard, 40,?says he is concerned by the Israeli government’s efforts to find a way around the legal rulings. ”Our society’s underlying values are at risk, real risk,” asserts Sfard, defining these as encompassing respect for human rights and the right to property. ”I am talking about Thou Shalt Not steal. What is more basic than that?” adds Sfard, who attributes his?work on behalf of Palestinians partly to his knowledge of what Jews suffered historically as a persecuted minority. ”I have an allergy to situations where the strong, the majority is exploiting and maltreating the weak, the minority,” he explains. Court holding firm The hearing on Ulpana was held after attorney-general Yehuda Weinstein backed away from a state commitment a year ago, that was enshrined as a supreme court ruling, to demolish 30 settler apartments for being built on private Palestinian property. With the clock ticking on the May 1 demolition deadline, the state last month asked the court for time to formulate a new position and to reopen the case so that the homes would not have to be demolished. The court rebuffed the request, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apparently still does not see that as the final word on the matter. His spokesman, Mark Regev, told the Monitor Wednesday that the premier is still ”searching to see if there is a way legally to not dislocate all those people who bought apartments there.” BACKGROUND?–?Five largest Israeli settlements: who lives there, and why? While the international community views all of the settlements housing half a million Israelis as illegal for violating the Fourth Geneva Convention, the 96 smaller outpost communities violate Israeli law too because they were never formally authorized by the government. Sfard says the government’s conduct is alarming. ”When the attorney general is ready to ask the court to reopen a case already ruled just because the government doesn’t like it and I have to protect the respect for court decisions, than we are at risk. I have to convince the court that court orders should be kept? This is crazy,” Sfard says. Retroactive legalization of outposts Sfard is now worried that to assuage the settlers the government will throw its weight behind proposals by right-wing legislators for a law that would retroactively legalize outposts, including Migron and Ulpana. ”This contains the seeds of destruction of our legal environment,” he warns. Regev says it is ”just not true” that the government is disregarding core legal values. ”The prime minister has always said Israel is a country of the rule of law, that the rule of law will prevail and that supreme court decisions will be implemented,” he says. pagebreak The decisions this year were not the first time that Sfard, legal counsel for the Yesh Din (there is law) NGO, has scored successes on behalf of Palestinians. In 2007, he convinced the supreme court to reroute Israel’s separation barrier so that farmers in the village of Bilin could be reunited with their land. It took four years and two contempt of court motions by Sfard for the decision to be implemented. Filling opposition vacuum Sfard views Yesh Din’s legal activity, along with the work of other NGOs, as filling the role of opposition to the occupation that was once played by left-wing parties in parliament that have in recent years declined in both numbers and influence. ”I don’t have any illusions that through court proceedings you can end the occupation or abuse of Palestinian rights but court proceedings are a good vehicle to bring issues to the fore and in specific cases to bring justice,” he says. Sfard recalls that he has always been against the occupation though his understanding of it has deepened through his work in recent years. In 1998 he was jailed for three weeks for refusing a call up to serve as a reservist in the West Bank. Although Israeli right-wingers often attack the supreme court for, in their view, upholding Palestinian rights, Sfard does not see it that way at all. The supreme court, he says is ”one of the cornerstones on which the occupation rests, it’s not a rubber stamp but rather an active player that builds the foundation of the occupation.” Sfard has ”misgivings” that his court actions add to the legitimacy of the court, but he says the individual interests of his clients trump this concern. ”When I represent Palestinians it’s a great priviledge,” Sfard says. ”I always tell my clients I am very proud and humbled to be your lawyer because I am seen as being a member of the dominating group that is breaching their rights. Every time I get a power of attorney, for me, it’s something to be proud of.” Critics: Go through politics However, Yesh Din’s critics charge that its activity is far from benevolent. ”Michael Sfard has discovered that through the legal system he can advance his goal of two states for two peoples. But it isn’t proper to do this through the legal system, it should be done through politics,” says Itai Hemo, spokesman for Migron settlers. Gerald Steinberg, director of NGO Monitor, a group often critical of NGOs, faults Yesh Din for ”supporting the Palestinian narrative. That Israel stole the land is the principle behind all this and that the occupation is the source of the conflict rather than the result. These positions make Palestinians feel they don’t have to compromise,” Steinberg says. But Harbi Hasan,a Palestinian landowner on whose property the settler buildings in Ulpana –?or Jebel Artis, as it is known in Arabic –? were constructed, praises his Israeli lawyer for doing ”an excellent job.” Hasan, 71, who grew up in the village of Dura al-Qara and recalls his family growing grapes on the land on which the settlers built, says: “From Dura, I can see the buildings of the settlers on my land. Just imagine the feeling. Getting it back will mean everything.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 17 (UPI) — The lawyer for a Kansas City, Mo., priest charged with producing child pornography asked a federal judge to postpone the trial until August. The Rev. Shawn Ratigan is charged with 13 federal felony counts relating to the possession and production of child pornography, The Kansas City (Mo.) Star reported. On Wednesday, Ratigan’s lawyer, Robert Kuchar, asked a federal judge to delay the trial until Aug. 27, citing a need for more time to review the more than 1,000 pages of investigative material related to the case. “In light of the additional discovery, counsel needs more time to conduct a complete investigation into the newly discovered material,” Kuchar said in his petition to the judge. Ratigan’s trial is currently scheduled to begin in June. If the delay is granted, Ratigan will stand trial within a month of his boss, Bishop Robert Finn of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, who is charged with misdemeanor failure to report suspicions of child abuse for a six-month delay in reporting Ratigan to authorities after church officials learned of lewd photographs on Ratigan’s laptop. Finn’s trial is scheduled to open Sept. 24.
