Turner made proper call in setting Jackson bond
I write to respond to the letter (Dec. 3) by Blair Flowers attacking District Court Chief Judge Joe Turner for setting a $150,000 secured bond for Treymayne Jackson, who is accused of attempted first-degree murder of a police officer.
Judge Turner referred to the 18th Judicial District Bond Policy, which suggests a bond for a class B1 felony in the range of $15,000 minimum to $100,000 maximum. Realizing that the crime charged was more serious because the victim was a law-enforcement officer, Judge Turner set the bond at the $100,000 maximum plus 50 percent, for a total of $150,000. The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits "excessive bail." Thus, under North Carolina law, a defendant not charged with capital murder is entitled to pretrial release under a reasonable bond. The bond is not a form of punishment but a means of assuring the defendant's presence in court and protection of the community. Punishment comes only after conviction.
Judge Turner's job is to apply the law and the constitution, and that is exactly what he did. Judge Turner is an outstanding jurist of whom Guilford County is justifiably proud.

Hey, community, what are you worried about? There's not a bailbondsperson around that will assist this low-life violent piece of trash. Not for any amount of money! And, this toilet floater doesn't have the cash. He'll stay put, right where he needs to be. In a cage like the mindless raging animal he is.
I'm pleased that he did not end up being charged with murder.
Yeah, I know that some of you will take an issue and defend this slimeball. The Dog's outa here.

Well.... a commendation from the resident of the NC Bar should reassure us all...
I thought the only letters they wrote went something like this ...
"this "legal professional" has not violated the rules of professional conduct to the extent that they should be disciplined."
I've been waiting for this door to open and Janet Ward Black just opened it..thank-you maam!
Below are excerpts from an article I wrote..at that time I did not name names. I was scared to. Well I'm not scared anymore Guilford County has hurt our family about all they can. So here ya go...
The Judges are Judge Joe Turner and Judge Teresa Vincent
Attorney Kathryn Lindley as GAL
T. Keith Black
Cindy Hatfield
The article below is from my experiences and reflects what my family encountered during our Child Custody Battle, for obvious reasons I will state that the comments below reflect my opinion, but I feel they are well founded.
From these experiences I have also concluded, that no amount of preparation, will prepare you for a Child Custody Battle in Guilford County NC
If you can avoid it, work it out, then do so, because what lies ahead may be worse than your worst nightmare...
Beware The Court Appointed Attorney Acting As Guardian Ad Litem
Beware Becoming Set Up In the Parental Alienation Syndrome Class
(it's the card that'll make you or destroy you if the other side can pull it off and in my opinion the judges have seen it so much, it is pretty much a given, whether it ever happened or not)
Be Aware That You Are Already Considered An Idiot That Is So Overwhelmed With
Bitterness And Animosity Over Whatever Happened Between You And Yours, That You Are Automatically Assumed To Be So Petty And Simple Minded That You Are Already
Condemned Guilty Of Playing Harmful Mind Games With Those Children Who You Love More Than Life.
Be Aware That The Courts And The Attorneys Associated With Family Court
Think They Have Seen It All And You Have Already Been Categorized Before
You Ever Took The Stand. You Are A Statistic And Part Of The General Consensus.
Be Aware That Family Court Judges Do Not Have To Follow The Law or honor your Civil Rights
(they may be supposed to, but what are you going to do if they don't?)
(easier said than done, I can assure you.)
Never Let The Words BiPolar Be Associated With Any Member Of Your Family
My daughter was not in my opinion BiPolar, my daughter was a child -grown woman-who was overwhelmed with grief at being abandoned by her father that she just could not overcome it. It became her obsession, her passion, it consumed her. It has now destroyed her.
The judge found her guilty of playing her parents against each other. Betcha didn't know that's grounds for losing your kids to the father who abandoned you as a child and left you emotionally scarred for life.
.
Judge Joe Turner found me guilty of failing to recognize the need for the children to have a relationship with their biological grandfather. The oldest child was 10 years old, I had not seen the biological grandfather for 16 years and then only briefly. We parted 30 years ago. The judge assumed me guilty of parental alienation syndrome because this man did not have a relationship with his grandchildren. Hello.
My experience with this GAL-attorney has left me paralyzed with a fear of our Judicial system beyond my wildest imaginations. The discovery that this person also holds a position on the board of directors for a local Mental Health Center sends shivers up my spine and compels me to warn anyone who might seek help there. That this person is also considered to be qualified to be a Child Advocate has probably already caused me to have a few mild heart attacks."
this is what I have concluded, from the response to my complaints to the boards who review complaints of this type
it's OK for Judges to say "You women just can't..."
It's OK to discuss the "BiPolar" issues..just not in the courtroom, that is done in the Judge's chambers. That way, they don't violate your civil rights.
Prejudice against the emotionally challenged is acceptable -a Judge can kill an emotionally challenged with one statement -and that's OK-she may as well have put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger "You will never have your children again."
It's OK to smell children buttocks, rip the shower curtain back while they are bathing, fondle their testicles in the presence of two women (one age 18) as long as you stop when the Judge puts it in the court order and if you don't have the money to pay your attorney fees, that's OK too, because the Judge will order the grandma who brought this matter up and embarrassed the court to pay them
It's OK to hide out for 16 years and avoid you own child support, collect 6 DWIs, and a criminal record, tie your wife up with a chain and drag her down the driveway while her children watch and threaten to kill them if they try to run for help, if you wait 10 years after the last DWI the court will administratively dismiss that outstanding child support warrant and take those grandkids you've never had a thing to do with and give them to you.
It's OK if your very twisted wife, (who was abandoned by her own parents and left to be raised in foster homes) it's OK if she gets upset sometimes and beats the children with her fists, or shocks them with a dog collar or beats them with the dog collar antenna until it breaks into. You can't hold against a person those occasional little losses of self- control, especially when she is married to a known batterer. She must unleash all her pent up anguish somewhere and those kids, those kids, that the court just gave them, that are costing them so much money that now she can't get her teeth fixed and must compress her lips and try to speak so you don't notice all the decay, those kids are the perfect target.
Its OK for your attorney to tell you before court that you have already been railroaded, then refuse to explain that, sending you into court so shook up you can't even think straight.
Its OK for lawyers to fail to write court orders until 3 years later or not even to write them all, making things appear different than they are
It's OK for lawyers to lie to their clients, to tell them they are not allowed to appeal and cost them their chance of doing so
It's OK for attorneys acting as GALS to lie thru their teeth, conspire and show outright prejudice for the emotionally challenged, even when they are on the board of directors for the local mental health center. It's OK for them to take on a mantle of second defense council for one party, rather than being the independent unbiased liaison for the children that they were appointed to be.
It's OK for the attorney writing the court order to put "the parties agree" when no-one has agreed to anything
It's OK for one attorney to forge another attorney's name on a continuance agreement document, even if he gets the wrong attorney down there, just so that space is not left blank
Its OK that one child just suffered one beating with a belt because he only made A/B honor roll instead of straight As. Its OK that he doesn't talk much anymore, that he stays doubled over with stomach pain and vomits far too frequently
for the complete scenario..

I do not understand why people whine about Family Court. The purpose of family court is obvious, and detailed at www.FamilyLawCourts.com
But there is a remedy, and it's www.USAjudges.com
Enough reports made, and come election time, as reports are made available; the misdeeds catch up to them and these people are voted out of office.
Stop complaining and ACT.

why would I pay $45 to submit a report and hope some attorney purchases it for $150?
I can post right here, digg it and get an auto audience of millions and those who are searching, as I was, will find it for free and be informed.
What authority does that website have to discipline or remove these judges?
Why do I get this message when I try to contact

Jobo 1163, your're right about Janet Ward Black and the rejection letters from the state bar when they allow Kitty Hatfield to get away with the very crimes that others are punished, sanctioned, and even disbarred. But you have to consider the source of Janet Ward Black and her promiscuous and unethical behavior that is well known from her hometown. How do you think certain judges are picked - get in bed with them. She gets down into the quagmire that is created from the Hatfield's control of the courts and her conspirators. This is the letter I wrote to the editor in response to Sam Johnson's letter to set him straight. My ex wrote in Jan. 28, 2008 complaining about republicans and recession when he has lived off of my family and the attorney I paid for (Kitty Hatfield in Oct. 1984) when this case began in November 1986 with Kitty in conflict of interest and sending her ex con federal partner practicing law with a felony to cover her ass as she did in the end of this case to deny me all of my constitutional and civil rights for the past 23 years of this case. My ex lives off of the attorneys I paid, the DA's as a free attorney service for falsified altered warrants without due process and wrongful convictions by being forced by my own attorney sucked into the Hatfield's crimes by threats of disbarment to take a plea bargain in Oct. 2005 and then being splattere in the GNR as well as all over the state, on all TV networks, radio medias, as well as out of state slandering, libelling, and defamating me for an offense and offense date I did not commit involving Joe Turner through the GPD.
As well, my ex intentionally disabled our son since he was a teenager, now an adult through Mental Health fraud and stated he planned to put him in a group home, (headed by Keith Black) in May 2007 when I filed a petition to overturn the illegal competency hearing held in secret behind my back for him to take financial control of my son to live off of his disability fraud. If that's not sick enough, my ex was evaluated to be a sexual pedohpile in July 1987 and has been allowed by Hatfield to rape, sodomize, and hold my sons hostage in hiding while keeping me in court and pulling the mental health issue to see if she could tear me down. God was my strength and still is now that the fraud was finally carried out by Kitty Hatfield using my ex to carry out her crimes through the use of my family by my sons who wanted freedom and to be normal which was and is denied them today as well as me to have my rights for which I am in the process of once again filing a federal suit, as should you, for deprivation of parental constitutional and civil rights. I'm going into the deep pocketbooks of all involved in this sick senseless crime that continues today that extorted my parents life earnings and retirement years to enjoy what they sacrified for in my young years. My ex continues, while using my son in kidnapping as an adult drug overdosed daily with mental health psycho meds, is used by my ex for his disability income as payee recipient while denying him of all civil and constitutional rights. As well, my ex and son live in HUD housing while living off of social services fraud, and government fraud of my father's 401k actually paid out to Kitty. My ex as I stated has lived off of me and my family for 23 years. The only vengeance I can get on him is to put him in prison as well as I want that for Kitty, Jack, Cindy Hatfield, Joe Turner, the clerk of court, David Churchill and every judge and conspirator involved in this sick heinous crime. My ex need not complain about recession in his letter of Jan. 28, 2008 when he's lived on government fraud and does so today while holding a victim by kidnapping of ongoing sexual abuse and torture while blaming me through 50B Orders to keep me away from my own family by alienation and threats that they are to call the law and have me arrested if I go near them. No such orders exist, but my ex lives in a paranoid, introverted, narcissistic, schizophrenic profile that he controls and feels important over my son in his helpless state as an adult denied all rights to life and those skills to survive on his own for years that he had years ago. If you get this letter, call me in Salisbury thru my dad at 704-636-1731.
"Judge Turner Condones Corruption"
It appears that Sam Johnson, in his letter of 12/8/07 is unaware of the many violations of the U.S. Constitution and state laws that are allowed to be violated by those "officers of the court" under Judge Turner's direction as well as certain officers of the law enforcement community used to carry out those crimes y abuse of falsified and altered warrants to obstruct a fraud investigation by the local law enforcement to bring in the SBI for federal indictments involving Detective E. L. Cuthbertson, Brian James, James Fulmore, and Chief Bellamy and all officers under his direction involved in this fraud crime by use of Hatfield.
Little can be said about Judge Turner's sworn duty to avoid excessive bail or to set reasonable bond for persons charged, but not yet convicted, of serious crime when he is guilty of the very constitutional amendment spoken of by Mr. Johnson. Judge Turner fails to uphold the Eighth amendment of the US Constitution where it states that where there is contempt and the amount of monies is $20 or greater, a jury trial is allowed and if once tried, a person cnnot be tried for the same crime twice - a violation of the Fifth Amendment Right of the U. S. Constitution, Double Jeopardy.
Over the last 21 years, Judge Turner has colluded with Attorney Hatfield in my case, as well as with Jack and Cindy Hatfield when her fraud crime was exposed and she used them to carry out her crime while she walked away with the money that belongs to my father. I won an appeal from Judge Turner's Order in October 1997, stemming from an excessive bond imposed by Judge Turner, based on double jeopardy. His involvement is based out of spite for my having won my case and now he's involved as a federal defendant in conflict of interest to sabotage all justice as he sits over all judges and attorneys within the 18th judicial district. Justice is allusive within the Guilford County Courts when they are controlled by drug lord attorneys as well as a pot head judge. My case (86CvD8875) was vacated in its entirety on 7/18/00 by the appeals court. Hatfield colluded with Judge Turner to have another appeal dismissed on 4/20/04 in conflict of interest as stated earlier as all were federal defendants in case filed in November 2003. The federal case's jurisdiction was federal deprivation of parental rights violations of constitutional and civil rights made a prima facie case by all defendant's actions and admissions. The criminal abuse of law was implemented again in July 2004 along with falsified and unsubstantiated 50B Orders of abuse by me without due process after DSS in January 2000 substantiated my ex to be unfit and abusive in every way and again from January 2005 to April 2005 by my hired PI that the abuse was ongoing and that my son needed to see a medical doctor as well as needed to be removed from his own admission of abuse. DSS, being bought and controlled by Kitty Hatfield knowing this crime would surface has blocked all justice for my son to be friend in their reckless, careless, negligent attitude and that since the 50B's keep me away from my son, there is no abuse by my ex. Then why take out 50B orders when my son is denied the right to go to court and the truth be seen that he is not in a vegetated state of mind or body, he is not deaf, dumb, mute, and is able to cry out for help, but no one hears. Therefore he has no choice but to stay in an environment of torture until my ex kills him or as he stated plans to put him in a group home so he can "spread his wings and fly." I'll close down every group home in NC if that occurs. Turner as well as all judges in this case have acted without jurisdiction, a clear corruption of justice. He fails to stop Hatfield's criminal violations of ethics. The Administrative Office of the Courts confirmed the fraud by extortion, obstruction of justice, and corruption within this case in its letter dated November 9, 2007 by attorneys John B. Hatfield, Kathryn K. Hatfield, Cynthia Hatfield, and those judges who signed her falsified orders from 2001 to 2006, the clerk of court, David Churchill, all under the direction of chief district court judge, Joseph E. Turner. My ex is not an attorney, doctor, or anybody except white trash and does not have judicial authority by any judge to state that the orders carrying out the actual fraud and falsified judgment entered using my father's 401k from the clerk of court's regular checking account were not executed or as stated in letter "he chose not to execute the orders from 2001 to 2006 written by Kitty Hatfield carrying out the crime as well as the judgment entered 11/18/03, the date my father posted appeal bond."
My ex-husband filed a pro se action on 2/15/01 in a case that was deleted and removed from the court records on 7/18/00. He appeared pro se and with representation by both Hatfield's prohibited by law in N.C. I was forced to post an appearance bond of $3,000 on 7/14/03 as well as an appeal bond on 11/17/03 for $19,721.25. Both bonds were illegally converted to "cash refund bonds" in violations of the orders of four judges which would have ended this case before the fraud was carried out, but Hatfield ignored all warnings and sought and bought a judge that Turner knew would carry out her spite crimes of hate. Both bonds paid out to attorney Kathryn Hatfield prior to an appeal being filed.
On 9/18/02, my ex-husband, Jim Dye through the clerk of court, illegally took guardianship of my son. As the mother, I was never give notice of the hearing as an ex parte proceeding, unenforceable by the law in violation of Rule 4, whereby all notices of service are to be certified by affidavit of service within the estate and special proceedings files, not in some storage box in a vault of retired attorney Herman Winfrey, not legally retained and no affidavit of retainment in said files as attorney of record as stated in one sentence by my ex.
David Churchill disqualified himself on April 20, 2007 after I filed petition to remove said case for purposes of mental health and disability fraud on April 10, 2007. By his disqualifying himself, then by law, the whole proceedings were vitiated in their entirety. The nullifying of proceedings of 9/18/02 set in motion the financial fraud conspiracy from January 2003 to the present time after receipt of the proceeds of fraud by extortion on 2/21/06.
The record must clearly speak for itself that Judge Turner had a personal vendetta and does not uphold the U.S. Constitutiion for all persons or he is in blatant violation of Judicial Ethics when he oversees all judges and attorneys who conspired with the Hatfield's financial fraud crimes of which he was aware and could have stopped such crimes had he found Kitty in contempt from day one of this case and when he took over after Judge Daisy who also delegated his judicial authority to my ex which kept me from any visitation of parental rights, except to be kept in court and run financially dry like the white trash that my ex came from in the southeast portion of Greensboro in the Freeman Mill Estates where he dates all prostitutes and has sexually transmitted deseases after he sodomizes my son since he was a small child for which he should be in prison today if justice was to be had. Judge Turner knew my ex was abusive and unfit, but Kitty ignored his orders and wrote the damage to keep me from my children that took me twelve years to have after infertility and painful surgies and finally in vitro at Duke Hospital. My ex's actions are to spite me while abusing my children and wanting them to believe I condone such sick, unconscientionable acts that are senseless.
Maybe a few more individuals abused by the courts should write to the newspaper and express their views. After the Nifong incident, it is clear that much needs to be done to clean up the judicial system and Guilford County is a needy place to start.
