PART 10:THE JUDGE TREATS ME LIKE A CRIMINAL, SEEMS TO ENJOY DENYING MOST OF MY REQUESTS  & GOT IRRITATED WHEN I ASKED HIM TO ACCOMMODATE MY DISABILITY DURING LUNCHES.

I’m disabled. I now have at least 2 CSF LEAKS & SPINE DAMAGE & often I get too sick to function in the real world. This is why I get disability benefits. I tried to explain my medical situation to the MARICOPA COUNTY JUDGE  & explain how when I get too sick, it can be impossible to get myself together & drive downtown to spend 6-8hours in court.  

The CURRENT JUDGE told me if I’m too sick to come one day (during the trial) & they would put out a warrant & send police to ARREST ME & THEY WOULD CONTINUE THE TRIAL WITHOUT ME.

IS THIS HOW MARICOPA COUNTY ACCOMMODATES THE DISABLED? DO I NOT DESERVE ACCOMMODATIONS IF THE JUDGE THINKS IM GUILTY?

I showed up for court over 30 times before MARICOPA agreed to accommodate my disability. I’m mostly BEDRIDDEN. My CSF leak & CHIARI MALFORMATION  makes my brain herniate out of my skull & it compresses my spinal cord, causing constant pain. A CSF leak makes your brain heavier bc there’s less cerebrospinal  fluid which is what makes your brain buoyant. Instead of weighing 50 kg, a CSF leak  can make it weigh closer to 1300-1400 kg(2-3lbs).Thats a big difference. It creates constant pain & damage.

When I first asked if they could  accommodate me for  the trial, the judge acted  like he didn’t believe I was genuinely disabled. If he ever reads this…. I get benefits, sir. The state examined me thoroughly before I was accepted.  It’s difficult to qualify & I qualified at 48 bc my disability is so debilitating.

Before the trial, the judge seemed to change his tune some. He told me I had nothing to worry about & he would fully accommodate my disability during the trial. He asked me what I needed. I asked for a private room where I could lay down flat in the dark during breaks. That’s what I need to do to feel better& get through any day.

This is what he told me he would do…he said I could lay down in the back of the court & they could dim the lights. He told me I could ONLY lay down when the jury wasn’t in the room.

The county attorney & the judge doesn’t want the jury to know I’m disabled & my public defender acts oblivious to it & never addresses it.  I think the jury should know. I’ve been disabled for over 26 years. It affects every minute of every day, and the jury needs to know the Barrows Neurological ER security guard  intentionally hurt a disabled person in pain & he & the hospital are trying to cover up the truth..

On the first day of the trial, the judge broke for lunch & gave us an hour & a half.

I asked if I was allowed to stay in the court during lunch? The JUDGE looked irritated, like I was just being difficult.

“No,” he said.  Apparently  I couldn’t lay down in the court bc they had to lock the room & I couldn’t be in there alone.

“So, where am I supposed to go for these 90 minutes?” I asked. The judge shrugged contemptuously & said “wherever you want.”I told him accommodating someone for their disability includes lunchtime. He’s an older judge so he’s probably been a judge for 15-20 years, and he acted like he had never accommodated anyone for their disability. We argued. Why do I have to argue with anybody to get help with my disability?  Legally, they’re supposed to find me a reasonable solution.

WHY WOULD ACCOMMODATING A DISABLED PERSON FOR A DAY IN COURT NOT INCLUDE LUNCHTIME?

NONE OF THEM THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFOREHAND?

THIS NEVER CAME UP (BEFORE ME) WHILE ACCOMMODATING ANOTHER DISABLED PERSON?

HAS THE JUDGE NEVER PROPERLY ACCOMMODATED ANY DISABLED PERSON?

WHY ARE THEY SO ANGRY I NEED TO LAY DOWN FLAT TO FEEL BETTER BECAUSE MY BRAIN HERNIATES OUT OF MY SKULL & COMPRESSES MY BRAIN  STEM & SPINAL COLUMN?

Finally, the attorneys spoke up & told the judge that there were private rooms for use on the 11th floor. The judge looked betrayed & shrugged saying he didn’t know if they were in use or not. The attorneys checked & said I could stay in there for lunch and any breaks.

They quickly solved a problem the judge said was impossible. He goes out of his way to not help me. I think he treats me this way bc he has bias. He seems to have great respect for the county attorney & great disdain for me. The concept of “your innocent until proven guilty” is dead in Maricopa. They all treat me like a criminal that deserves to be punished.

THE JUDGE SEEMS TO TAKE PLEASURE IN DENYING MY REQUESTS

None of the people I have encountered in the MARICOPA COURT SYSTEM seem to  believe citizens are innocent until proven guilty.

The judge doesn’t want to ever help me. In fact,  he often  seems  to go out of his way to not help me.

Before TRIAL #1…

I asked to switch my public defender. He said no.

II asked for more time to hire a lawyer. He said no.

I asked him if I could represent myself. He said no.

A few months ago, I submitted a MOTION FOR DISMISSAL because my public defender refuses to submit one.. It was 60 pages long. I spent days writing it. On Friday I delivered 2 copies to the county attorney & the judge in downtown Phoenix.

Before the weekend, I processed the motion with a COURT CLERK & then  put it in the MARICOPA JUDGE’s & the COUNTY ATTORNEY’S mailboxes personally.When court was back in session  on Monday, the judge said he heard I put in a motion for dismissal but he never got the document. I physically had put it in his mailbox a few days before. I also gave the county attorney a copy. They both said they didn’t see it bc they admitted they didn’t check their mailboxes. It often feels like they’re intentionally not working with me.

Finally, THE COUNTY JUDGE called someone & someone delivered the document to his office. He came back into the courtroom with it & said I didn’t fill out the motion correctly so he wasn’t going to read it. He said – if I wanted—II could take a few minutes to summarize the 60 page document,  but no one was going to take the time to read it.

I couldn’t believe it. I had spent so much time writing it for nothing. I have brain disabilities so sometimes I get flustered when I have to speak in front of people so I asked the Judge for a few minutes to figure out a way to sum it all up. He said no.

WHAT?

WHY NOT?

I’m disabled bc I have a CSF leak that gives me brain fog & cognitive issues, and the judge refused to accommodate me.They seem to make things difficult every opportunity they get.

IS THIS HOW MARICOPA COUNTY TEACHES JUDGES TO “ACCOMMODATE” THE DISABLED?

This experience makes me not only want to fight for myself. I want to get justice for all of the others (like me) that BARROWS  & MARICOPA COUNTY ATTORNEY  have illegally harassed & unlawfully punished. When you can’t trust hospitals & courts to do the right thing it’s time for the public to say goodbye to those old corrupted systems that no longer work & build new systems. We shouldn’t be scared to go to the hospital. We should be able to trust cops & judges. 

Q:IS THE JUDGE ALSO PART OF THE MEDICAID FRAUD OPERATION?

A: MAYBE.  

Q: AS A DISABLED PERSON, WITH THIS JUDGE, CAN I GET A FAIR TRIAL?

A: NO.

IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE.

IT’S TIME THE MARICOPA LEGAL & MEDICAL SYSTEMS STOP HARMING & START HELPING  THE CHRONICALLY ILL & DISABLED
