Wall Of Shame: Eye On The Judiciary

The title says it all (except for we are updating this to also include public officials in other branches of government).

Folks, it ain't gonna be pretty in here.

Many of those elected to be put up for display on the Wall Of Shame were elected by The People to their position as a public servant. That's not working out too well!

Who is voted in, may also be voted out. Civic action and responsibility in action Folks.

Back in November 2009, I suppose this idea was germinating in my mind when I posted about our lovely Florida Judge Alan Schwartz from the Third District of Appeal, Miami.

The Court's website shows him leaving the bench in 2004 (scroll down this linked page to find our antagonist), but obviously his career ghost came out of retirement to punish the living.

I simply can't bear to type out this judge's offenses all over again, so the links will have to suffice.

YIKES!

Lee County FL – Clerk of Court Charlie Green, “There Should be a Way to Foreclose Quickly Against Deadbeats Who are Destroying Neighborhoods”.

Lee County, Florida: HOME OF THE Rocket Docket! What else is a poor court system to do in order to handle one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation?

Lee County, Florida judicial system's motto? "Welcome to Florida's 20th judicial circuit: Where we jettison your Constitutional Rights into the stratosphere!"

Question of the day: How did some small county Clerk of Court get to be so "out there"? Wonder who funded his campaign? Wonder when he's up for re-election? This guy is a walking tape recorder spewing garbage about we "deadbeats who are destroying neighborhoods by neglecting or abandoning their homes."

Now see, Mr. Green, that sentiment kind of irks me. See, I've been sorta terrorized by my mortgage servicer. I'm not so keen about living in a tent park with my young child, so see, I mean no disrespect Sir but I am totally confused! See, the Federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency...........Sir, have you heard of them? Well, Sir, after a year of a heap o' troubles with my mortgage servicer, I filed a complaint with the OCC. AND SIR! SIR! Guess what Sir! They tell me that BankA owns my "loan" but I've been trying to work something out with BankB all this time! AND SIR! SIR! WAIT! I'm not done! See, Sir, that BankA who owns my "loan"? They aren't suing me in foreclosure court! SIR, it's very very confusing because now BankC is trying to foreclose on my home! Sir, I actually am lucky to have a job in this economy, and Sir, I want to pay for housing! But Sir, no one, and I mean NO ONE can or will tell me who exactly who to pay!

And, FURTHERMORE, Mr Green, since you ARE THE CLERK OF THE COURT afterall Sir, have you check my mortgage assignment in the official county court records? I hope so Sir because I've been writing you lots of letters notifying you of the pervasive frauds in almost every single mortgage assignment since 2001!

WAIT! WAIT! SIR, I forgot one important thing! OH SIR! Where is my mind? See, Sir, have you happened to examine the post foreclosure sale deed that is filed when that REO property moves from the foreclosing bank into the hands of the new owner? BUT SIR, WHY THE HECK NOT? There's something really fishy going on! SIR! Aren't you elected by The People of Lee County to be a public trustee, safeguarding the integrity of the public records? OH MY GOODNESS, SIR! OH BOY! Do you have your work cut out for you, Sir! See here's an example. (This example was not pulled from the official records in your squeaky clean county, but maybe one or two other "grossly inaccurate" property deeds and/or mortgage assignments slipped by your watchful eyes..............

EMC Mortgage Corporation "as attorney in fact for", which I *think* is a mortage servicer company, executes the new Deed to the new owner.

EMC, a Delaware Corporation per their corporate seal, executed this document in Dalton, Texas. The document was prepared by Sunbelt Title Agency in Clearwater, Florida. The deed is for a property in Boca Raton, Florida. The Plaintiff is a New York entity and was represented on this deed by a Vice President, Terence Free, who apparently flew to Texas to execute this document. I mean, it sounds awfully messed up, but it's gotta be clean because......well, we all know that it's a 2nd degree felony to fool around with recorded mortgages.

817.545 Mortgage fraud.–

(2) (d) Files or causes to be filed with the clerk of the circuit court for any county of this state a document involved in the mortgage lending process which contains a material misstatement, misrepresentation, or omission.

(5)(a) Any person who violates subsection (2) commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(b) Any person who violates subsection (2), and the loan value stated on documents used in the mortgage lending process exceeds $100,000, commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

And Sir, while you're at it: I wonder how EMC transmitted the $142,000 in funds from the new buyer to the Plaintiff (seeing as how the Plaintiff was represented in a state court of law in front of a judge to be the holder in due course and due the proceeds from any foreclosure action)?

.............For more examples scroll down to these assignments of mortgage filed all
over Florida ...........OH NO, SIR! I just realized that FOUR of these were filed in your own Lee County official records! Sir, BOGUS assignments and by a BAD BENEFICIARY?
I wonder who is the irresponsible deadbeat ruining our community now,
Sir? I mean, These BOGUS mortgage assignments led to four foreclosures
in your town. Let's all stop a minute an wonder how those four families
are faring post-foreclosure. Go ahead, Sir! Try that self-righteousness
on for size.)

Judge J. Rogers Padgett, ‘”I have 80 foreclosure cases on Thursday, my 19 yr old son can do ...

I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing such sentiments on the verge of sure homelessness.

What a gem this Judge is! Guess law abiding citizens get harsher treatment than sex offenders and negligent drivers who "mow people down".

And even the organization, Human Rights Watch, has an ethical bone to pick with Judge Padgett.

Ah, the vaunted halls of justice, if only your walls could talk!

Maybe someone can find his contact info, reelection info? I looked briefly at the Judicial Directory here, but ran out of time.
