Void Judgments re Cochran Firm Frauds

The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm frauds had a victory. But they forgot to keep their cover. My lawsuit against The Cochran Firm was dismissed by Georgia Superior Court in 2006 because of perjury by Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq. and lawyers for the firm, who stated falsely that The Cochran Firm Atlanta office is NOT The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office and that The Cochran Firm had no law offices at all within the State of Georgia. The lawsuit was filed in Georgia Superior Court and served to The Cochran Firm at 127 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA by Fulton County Marshals. The law firm accepted service of the lawsuit, then immediately began to deny that it was connected with The Cochran Firm or any of its offices and that my lawsuit was therefore served wrongly. The frauds could not defend the deliberate malpractice evidenced in the Complaint, which was done to save Memphis Shelby County Jail from accountability for my brother's murder under secret arrest. Therefore, an apparent deal was worked out with Georgia Superior Court to lie and disclaim that the suit was served to the right party.

See the victory for The Cochran Firm frauds at item one below; a verdict of $17.5 million against Grady Hospital was awarded. See item two below - one of The Cochran Firm's fraud victims has died after being caused to face a lawsuit filed because Sarah Dozier followed Hezekiah Sistrunk's bad legal advice.

Exposed: Sarah Dozier Dead - Cochran Firm Fraud Victim The Cochran Firm frauds handled Dozier's lawsuit against the City of Atlanta and apparently gave her bad advice regarding Hutchins' invoice for services ... freespeakblog.blogspot.com/.../sarah-dozier-dead-cochran-fir... A judgment rendered because parties committed perjury is void. A judgment that is void on its face is subject to be set aside at any time (see Nagel v. P & M Distributors, Inc., 273 Cal. App. 2d 176 (1969). Besides defrauding the Neals and the Georgia courts, it would probably not take much investigation to tie The Cochran Firm to the individual who intercepted Mary Neal's call to a computer repair company and answered the service call in order to sabotage her computers, or the individual who said he was paid well to stalk Mary Neal, and to certain IP addresses that are used to break into her computer system continually (car tag number and IP addresses are available.) Racketeering is another possible charge for The Cochran Firm frauds. "Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering " (Wikipedia). For instance, it is mail fraud to use the USPS to send clients FALSE status reports about work that is not really being done on a wrongful death civil action in order to prevent them from really suing a jail where their disabled relative PERISHED under undisclosed circumstances - a jail that had a Cochran Firm managing partner as its administrator - Julian Bolton was a Shelby County Commissioner, but the Neals were not told. Helping any party to hide a murder makes one an accessory to murder after the fact. Repeatedly conspiring to violate the Neals' civil rights certainly qualifies as racketeering, especially with a substantial class of Cochran Firm fraud victims whose rights were also violated by the law firm. It is interesting that Cochran Firm attorney Angela Mason was able to tell the judge what color the vehicle was that followed Mary Neal home from work nearly every night after suit was served on the firm although Mary Neal had never told anyone that information. Do they teach ESP in law school? In August 2012, burglars invaded the Neals' home and stole ONLY the hard copies of Mary Neal's lawsuits against The Cochran Firm and evidence The Cochran Firm's lies to the court prevented from being put before a jury (this theft was done in a room with computers and stereo equipment, but only two boxes of Cochran Firm files were stolen). See at the bottom of this webpage The Cochran Firm Atlanta office's answers to my family's interrogatories in the matter of Neals v. The Cochran Firm and count how many times the liars and frauds disclaimed being The Cochran Firm or having any association with other Cochran Firm offices. It answered our lawsuit as CCGSS, P.C., claiming falsely to be wholly owned and operated within the State of Georgia and having no affiliation with The Cochran Firm whatsoever. Racist gangsters apparently presumed that censorship and terrorism such as my family has endured for years would be sufficient to make us abandon our justice quest in this matter. They were very wrong. While other attorneys are cited for misconduct and some lose their licenses to practice law, The Cochran Firm frauds are allowed to prevail by State Bars and courts because they either reduce or eliminate payouts for their own clients after police violence and wrongful deaths or catastrophic injuries when certain corporations are sued. A partial list of victims are at this article:RICO Act: McMurray Exposes Cochran Firm Fraud http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/rico-act-mcmurray-exposes-cochran-firm.html The Neal Family's Fourth Home Invasion A woman entered my home after falsely presenting herself as a nurse from my 90-year-old mother's home health care company on April 1. The impostor knew my mother was receiving home health care because of the tap on our telephone and 24/7 surveillance of our computer to prevent our ability to communicate with potential employers, attorneys, and human/civil rights organizations that may render assistance to a family held captive to prevent disclosure about the crimes we endure. When I entered my mother's bedroom after the "nurse" had been with her for about ten minutes, she was standing over my mother's bed with my mother's buttocks exposed. I asked, "What are you doing?" She responded, "I was sent to change the bandage on her buttocks." There was no bandage on my mother's buttocks or anywhere else, and inquiries revealed the woman was an impostor, not sent by any home health company or doctor. (See DeKalb County, GA Police Report No. 13-041416, which police prevented me from making before contacting Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Rep. Hank Johnson.) After that home invasion, I read that Marilyn Monroe's death reportedly resulted from the insertion of a poison suppository. It makes one wonder what really happened to Sarah Dozier. See the excerpt below from Marilyn Monroe.net giving credence to the "poison suppository" hypothesis at http://www.marilyn-monroe.net/ "The [Marilyn Monroe] autopsy clearly shows that the barbiturates - of a massive amount - that entered her body came in through the large intestine," he  [Dr. Seymour Pollack] said. "How do we know that? We know that because there is no indication, in fact there is contraindication, that the capsules were swallowed." He believes that had Monroe swallowed 30 or more capsules, "she would have absorbed enough of the barbiturates to kill her before it was all dissolved." He also discounts the possibility that she was given a "hot shot" injection of the drugs since neither he nor Noguchi could find any sign of needle marks on her body. (Both the original autopsy report and the 1982 review came to the same conclusion.) I initially thought the fake nurse came to plant drugs to excuse a home invasion, or more surveillance equipment. After reading about Marilyn Monroe, I believe my mother was visited on April 1 by a hit woman posing as a nurse who intended to insert a poison suppository up her anus. We urge murderers and accessories to murder after the fact to abandon subterfuge, stalking, and censorship and pay their damages regarding Larry Neal's murder and The Cochran Firm fraud against his survivors. A recent murder case involves injecting poisons into victims' buttocks. The accused killer is Tracy Lynn Garner. See an excerpt from the report below. Mississippi Woman Facing ‘Depraved Heart’ Murder Charges Over Buttock Injections A Mississippi woman is facing depraved heart murder charges in connection with the death of Marilyn Hale. According to the indictment, Tracey Lynn Garner “did kill Marilyn Hale…by means injecting a silicone substance into the body of Marilyn Hale . . . Garner is currently under house arrest and facing another depraved murder charge for injections given to Karima Gordon of Atlanta woman. http://www.yourblackworld.net/2013/06/black-news/mississippi-woman-facing-depraved-heart-murder-charges-over-buttock-injections/ The Cochran Firm finds itself in a quandary. It is being sued in California by former Cochran Firm partner Randy McMurray, who apparently wants to open his own Cochran Firm office after leaving The Cochran Firm. He and other lawyers who were originally on Johnnie Cochran's staff in Los Angeles were forced out of The Firm by the new partners after Johnnie died. Ethical attorneys are not wanted. The Cochran Firm's defense against McMurray is that "The Cochran Firm" is their trademark name and it applies to all of their law offices throughout the country, including the Atlanta office. This defense directly conflicts the information that The Cochran Firm Atlanta office used in Georgia Superior Court and United States District Court to have the Neals' lawsuits dismissed in Georgia. After the attack on my mother on April 1, I learned that McMurray used Hattie Neal's case in his lawsuit against The Cochran Firm. That may have prompted the "nurse's" visit. Famous Defenses: "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." ~Johnnie Cochran, defending O.J. Simpson "If you have no defense, just say you don't exist." ~The Cochran Firm Atlanta, defending itself against the Neals, former clients who sued the firm for fraud after it protected Memphis Shelby County Jail following the wrongful death of Larry Neal, a disabled black man who was kidnapped by police and killed after 18 days of secret incarceration during which time police continually lied to Larry Neal's family and his social worker and denied having him in custody.

VOID Judgments re Cochran Firm Fraud

The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm frauds had a victory. But they forgot to keep their cover. This article incurred much interference. See the article at this link, which is also in this MaryLovesJustice blog, dated April 29, 2013: "Void Judgments re Cochran Firm Frauds"

The Cochran Firm	Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 8:40 AM
Reply-To: webintakes@cochranfirm.com To: Sonya B
Thank you very much for contacting Cochran Firm. Someone from our office will be contacting you shortly to address your questions and/or concerns. Again, we thank you for contacting us and look forward to speaking with you soon.

The email above came to me from a potential client of The Cochran Firm's court-declared nonexistent Atlanta office. The Cochran Firm denied the existence of its Atlanta office before Judge Wendy Shoob in Georgia Superior Court in 2005 and Judge Timothy Batten in U.S. District Court in 2007 in order to avoid paying damages for its fraud against the Neal family in the matter of the wrongful death of Larry Neal http://WrongfulDeathofLarryNeal.com . Both courts accepted the unethical attorneys' perjury and issued VOID rulings, dismissing our complaint based on obvious perjury. My Internet usage has been monitored and censored to keep the cover-up viable for over six years, and the Neals' home was burglarized on August 11, 2012, to steal original court documents from both lawsuits. Memphis/Shelby County Jail, where Larry was kept for 18 days under secret arrest and murdered, was operating under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice after lawsuit by the USA for inmate abuse. The USDOJ refuses to investigate his murder or release any documents about his arrest. So much for respecting the right to life in America, especially for disabled black men. More corruption in Georgia is at this link http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyEzVtF_xY2Qv6cdbgxIBsfDKvT699cSy 

Murderous police officers and corporate wrongdoers have a friend in The Cochran Firm, which regularly defrauds its own clients to reduce or eliminate payouts on wrongful deaths and catastrophic injuries of minorities. The courts and media companies then cover-up The Cochran Firm frauds and refuse to report their abuses to legal consumers across the nation. 

 "If you have no defense, just say you don't exist."

Markel Hutchins v. Murdered Elder's Estate

Markel Hutchins ran against Rep. John Lewis in 2008

An Atlanta preacher is apparently attempting to do a shake-down on the family of 92-year-old police murder victim, Kathryn Johnston. Markel Hutchins says he made a verbal agreement with Sarah Dozier that he would receive 10% of the amount recovered from a lawsuit against the City of Atlanta related to her aunt's 2006 murder by police. Hutchins is now suing for $500,000 for acting as a spokesman for the family. The family paid for The Cochran Firm frauds to be their spokespersons. 

It is difficult to believe Johnston's family agreed to pay Hutchins  hundreds of thousands of dollars for conducting a few press conferences, and he has no proof whatsoever of any contract with Kathryn Johnston's family. Hutchins claims he made "verbal agreement" with Sarah Dozier. He said he felt it would show "poor taste" to ask for the grieving family to sign a contract for payment for his services. If Hutchins was really concerned about poor taste, he certainly would not sue a family for half a million dollars in exchange for doing something the family apparently thought he did as a ministerial service.

“Our client, Sarah Dozier, also denies having any agreement or arrangement to pay you any monies received for the wrongful death of Kathryn Johnston,” Hezekiah Sistrunk wrote. “It was always the understanding of Mrs. Dozier, as well as the Cochran firm, that [Markel Hutchins was] voluntarily involved in the Kathryn Johnston case as a Minster and Community Activist in the pursuit of justice. It now appears from your letters that your efforts were done not for the interest of the community at large but for your own personal gain.”

Obviously, The Cochran Firm wants the exclusive privilege of defrauding Sarah Dozier and will not tolerate Rev. Hutchins infringing on its territory.

Rev. Hutchins filed suit against the estate in Georgia Superior Court but it was dismissed. He appealed, and the Appellate Court's decision is at this link:
http://www.leagle.com/xmlResult.aspx?xmldoc=In%20GACO%2020121102159.xml&docbase=CSLWAR3-2007-CURR

On Sistrunk's bad legal advice, Sarah Dozier signed a statement saying there were no outstanding claims against the estate although she had received Rev. Hutchins' bill. The Appellate Court found Dozier's statement fraudulent, making the lower court's decision void. The Appellate Court judges wrote, "We vacate the probate court's order discharging the administrator and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion."

OCGA § 53-7-53 provides that "[a] discharge obtained by the personal representative by means of any fraud is void and may be set aside on motion and proof of fraud."

On appeal, Dozier acknowledges that Hutchins sent the letter alleging a claim against the Estate, but states that Dozier's counsel [Hezekiah Sistrunk, of The Cochran Firm frauds] "informed [Hutchins] that any 'claim' for service was meritless against any person involved in the [l]itigation." Dozier's counsel's assertion that the claim was without merit does not, however, relieve her of her statutory duty to list Hutchins as a creditor with a disputed claim and provide him with notice of her petition for discharge.
*******
 
Anyone who relies on The Cochran Firm as estate lawyers should seek a real attorney to avoid the mess that Dozier is in today for following Hezekiah Sistrunk's advice. Hopefully, Hutchins' lawsuit will be dismissed on the grounds that he cannot prove having any contract with Dozier. However, it was wrong for Dozier to follow Sistrunk's advice and not admit that she had received a bill from Hutchins, regardless of how fraudulent his bill may have been.

Court decisions that were given as a result of FRAUD are void, not merely voidable. Dismissal of the Neal's lawsuits against The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm by Georgia Superior Court and by United States District Court in Georgia are both void, also, because of The Cochran Firm's perjury. The Cochran Firm claimed falsely that it has no law offices operating within the State of Georgia or the City of Memphis and that the Atlanta office of Cochran Cherry Givens Smith and Sistrunk had no connection whatsoever with the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm - plus a myriad of other obvious lies that the courts accepted as facts. Even the name The Cochran Firm used to answer the Neals' lawsuit was a lie. The defendants answered under "Cochran Cherry Givens Smith &  Sistrunk, LLC" when no such entity had ever been registered with the Georgia Secretary of State's office. "LLC" means "limited liability corporation," and all corporations must be registered with the Secretary of State's office.

The Appeals Court decision in Hutchins v. Dozier said:

"On April 20, 2011, Reverend Markel Hutchins, a non-lawyer, sent a letter to Dozier and her attorney, detailing "consulting and other professional services," which he alleged he provided to the Estate, "that made the significant settlement in [the case against the City] possible"; Hutchins included an invoice addressed to the Estate, seeking either $490,000 (ten percent of the settlement amount) or amounts ranging from $333,000 to $382,500 for the value of his services, plus $75,000 in out-of-pocket expenses."
 
Mary Neal, not Hutchins, "made the significant settlement possible" by threatening to get students from the Atlanta University Center to protest The Cochran Firm's fraud against Dozier and other relatives of Kathryn Johnston. Johnston's family might not have gotten a red cent if not for my advocacy for justice, and I charge zero for caring about the old lady and her family. I threatened to get students to protest the fraud against Johnston's family because no settlement was made regarding her wrongful death by mid-August 2010 although she died November 21, 2006, and three police officers were tried and sentenced for her murder. According to clerks at Georgia State Court, no lawsuit was really filed in the Kathryn Johnston death as of the date of August 18, 2010, but a "settlement" was hurriedly worked out the weekend before college students returned to school at the AU Center.
 
It is interesting that Hutchins believes speaking on the family's behalf at press conferences had anything whatsoever to do with the settlement Kathryn Johnston's family received for the elder suffering a home invasion by police during which time she was shot in a hail of 39 bullets, with six hitting her. How can Hutchins take credit for a settlement that came after Johnston was handcuffed as she lay dying on her floor while police hid drugs in her home to make it appear the elder was running a drug house? Hutchins' advocacy was not needed to draw attention to Johnston's murder. People all over the world read about it and the attempted cover-up police officers tried by coercing a police informant to lie. Millions of people saw videos of candlelight vigils and the town hall meetings held after Johnston's death. Neither were Hutchins' press conferences necessary to enrage potential jurors about Johnston's murder. In fact, The Cochran Firm kept the lawsuit away from a jury precisely because any jury assembled in Atlanta at the time would have awarded Johnston's family the entire $18 million that The Cochran Firm claims it demanded in the lawsuit that was apparently never properly filed (according to State Court records I examined with court clerks on August 18, 2010).

I hope to speak with Sarah Dozier or other relatives of Kathryn Johnston and show them irrefutable proof that they were defrauded by The Cochran Firm. They should sue Hezekiah Sistrunk, et al., for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and malpractice. The Cochran Firm is sued for fraud by its former clients and its own attorneys with regularity.

MARKEL HUTCHINS, THE BURGLAR?

Before suing the slain elder's estate for $500,000 for making a few public appearances, Markel Hutchins was accused of breaking and entering the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) headquarters in 2010 and removing equipment that did not belong to him (what is the word for that?).
 
Some SCLC board members may seek criminal charges for alleged break-in

The Rev. Markel Hutchins said Wednesday he will not seek criminal charges against those who removed padlocks from gates at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference headquarters. But those on the other side of the fight for control of the SCLC said Wednesday they are still considering bringing criminal trespass charges against Hutchins for welding shut the headquarters' back door and for chaining and padlocking three gates to a rear parking lot. Hutchins – an ally of ousted SCLC chairman Raleigh Trammell and former treasurer Spiver Gordon – said a faction of the organization’s board named him interim president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and he was authorized to be in the building and was responsible for its security. LaFayette and other board members say Hutchins doesn’t have a key.

“He admitted that he went into the office and he was unauthorized,” LaFayette said. “He disabled the fire alarm, the water and the electricity. He got a welder to weld up the back door. He took files from the office. I understand now he took one of those [computer] monitors. His behavior is described as breaking and entering . . . He went in the back door,” LaFayette continued. “He didn’t go through the front door. He does not have a key because he’s not authorized."

See the entire story about this peculiar minister's alleged illegal entry at SCLC at this link http://www.ajc.com/news/news/local/some-sclc-board-members-may-seek-criminal-charges-/nQgBY/

SOMEBODY burglarized my home on August 11, 2012 and stole only two boxes of my original court documents and evidence regarding my family's two lawsuits against The Cochran Firm. I do not think lawyers and preachers ought to be involved in burglaries. Neither should police and county officials be allowed to submit perjury in federal records to cover up the secret arrest and murder of a mentally ill heart patient, Larry Neal http://WrongfulDeathofLarryNeal.com . Courts should not accept perjury to prevent lawsuits against lawyers who defraud families after wrongful deaths by police, which is a Cochran Firm specialty. Approximately 1.25 million mentally ill people are incarcerated in America, and a recent study showed there are between 5,000 and 10,000 wrongful convictions every year. The wrong people are in jail.

Rev. Markel Hutchins tried politics, human rights advocacy, and he allegedly tried burglarizing the SCLC. The man has tenacity, and now he is going after Kathryn Johnston's family.
 

Seniors, Beware of Cochran Firm Fraud

(20 paragraphs, 8 links) Bad news for senior citizens and other litigants against DePuy regarding faulty hip implants:  Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq. is on the defense litigation team - a thoroughly unethical attorney.  See the news reports and links below:


ATLANTA -- The Cochran Firm - Atlanta attorney, Hezekiah Sistrunk, Jr., has been selected for a leadership position in the DePuy ASR Hip Implant mass tort multidistrict litigation.


Federal Judge David A. Katz appointed Mr. Sistrunk to the Discovery Committee which will be responsible for leading and directing the discovery efforts for all federal lawsuits related to the DePuy Orthopaedics ASR hip implant and ASR Hip Resurfacing System manufactured by Johnson and Johnson's orthopedic division, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. All federal lawsuits related to the DePuy ASR implants will rely on the evidence developed by the Plaintiffs' MDL Discovery Committee.


A National partner of The Cochran Firm, Mr. Sistrunk is chairman of the national firm's executive committee and managing partner of the firm's Atlanta office. He has over 27 years of experience in handling complex litigation, toxic torts, products liability and medical cases. Other attorneys with The Cochran Firm serving on the mass tort litigation team are Jane Lamberti Sams, The Cochran Firm - Atlanta, Farrest Taylor and Angela Mason, The Cochran Firm - Dothan, and Douglas Fees, The Cochran Firm - Huntsville.


"It is an honor to represent The Cochran Firm in this leadership position with the DePuy Litigation case management," said Mr. Sistrunk. "The health of thousands of patients has been jeopardized by these defective implants. The Cochran Firm litigation team is currently reviewing 600 cases in the DePuy Hip Implant litigation," he added.


In August, 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. (orthopedic division of Johnson & Johnson) issued a recall of its total hip replacement, the ASR XL Acetabular System and its partial hip replacement, the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Both of the medical devices were recalled based on data from studies in the United Kingdom which showed the products were failing at a higher rate than expected, causing patients to undergo a second Revision Surgery. 
**********
Hezekiah Sistrunk should not be on the Discovery Committee with his reputation of defrauding his own clients.  Notice that the news article above says "The Cochran Firm - Atlanta."  When clients sue The Cochran Firm for fraud, devious lawyers at The Cochran Firm and Georgia courts declare The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office nonexistent in the State of Georgia.  See http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ - especially court pleadings under the DOCUMENTS tab.


I wondered what judge would appoint such an unethical attorney as Hezekiah Sistrunk to litigate an import case and found disturbing reports about Judge Katz: 


The Committee to Expose Dishonest and Incompetent Judges, Attorneys and Public Officials

Final Conclusion of the ABA screening Committee on Judge David Katz’s qualifications


David Katz has shown no evidence of his ability to perform legal analysis or do legal writing required of a Federal judge


To place David Katz on the Federal bench is to put him in an environment which he has no familiarity or experience


David Katz has no background whatsoever in criminal law


David Katz has no jury trial experience


David Katz’s participation in a few arbitration matters does not substitute for his lack of courtroom experience, all of which were of the settlement type and not of the evidentiary type


David Katz’s lack of experience in the courtroom would render him in a learning posture for a “couple of years”


David Katz will have to master the Civil and Criminal Rules, learn the Federal Rules of Evidence and acquire a grasp of their proper interpretation and application.


**********
It is my assessment that The Cochran Firm is used to defraud clients in legal cases to save government entities and certain corporations from clients' lawsuits.  The injustice system often victimizes disadvantaged persons, including minorities, handicapped persons, and whites who lack wealth.  It does not bode well for DePuy's plaintiffs that Hezekiah Sistrunk will have a key role.  If I had a case against DePuy, I would not agree to be represented in the class that will be defended by Sistrunk before Judge Katz, especially if I were a senior citizen.  Senior citizens are very undervalued in America.  In fact, some officials refer to retired Americans as "lessers."
