The Los Angeles Times has an article in the OP-ED section titled, “A Victory for Sunshine“ by Jim Newton. The gist of the piece is what I was talking about in my previous article regarding the opening of children’s court in Los Angeles…”No Mo’ Secrets.” if you are not doing your J.O.B. you might get some bad press. Not the children but the adults whose job it is, is to “do right” by the children.

Funny thing about people in the legal profession many like medical institutions like to hide behind the secrecy or as is often stated, “shield” those who work with children from any real scrutiny. Problem is this, just like a dampness hiding in the walls of a house with a leak, all may seem to be fine but a “mold” begins. Likewise when you have this secret society of the “well”-meaning you get the very same thing. The level of incompetence I have witnessed in my four years of covering the courts is frightening. I have watched lawyers screw up cases and I have watched some who acted like buffoons. I have documented this very behavior every time I have crossed paths with those who I saw as buffoons, much to the dismay of those “buffoons” I have written about.

Be sure to read the rest of this article about “Let the Sunshine in to Court Proceedings” is a win for the children on Desperate Exes.com at the following URL:

Rumblings around the Stanley is that Judge Elizabeth R. Feffer is going to be leaving Family Law Court aka DIVORCE court and going to civil. We at DESPERATEEXES.com will be sorry to see Judge Feffer leave, IF THIS INFO IS CORRECT! I have to say that the comment comes from a source close to the action.

As my good friend once told me, she was happy to leave and could not be happier in the Civil Courts, Donna Fields Goldstein, one of the greats of Divorce court!

Talking about leaving the DIVORCE aka Family Law Courts, how many people have told me how much they miss Judge Amy Pellman? Well I sure do, first we lost Judge Goldstein and then Judge Pellman…some of the best times I ever had were watching these two judges tear “The Liars” to pieces! One day we hope they come back, we can all hope at least.

Leave it to me to find those in need of a good firing or more training — security at the nation’s court houses is critical and something I personally support!

Problem: at the Los Angeles County Court houses we have “court security guards,” these are L.A. County Sheriff’s staff people who were hired to save money by not having real L.A. County Deputies in positions that could be staffed CHEAPER! The folks in the “white shirts” and sometime BIG ATTITUDES. Don’t be angry at the public that you cannot become a real cop…I had nothing to do with the denial! And folks you get what you pay for.

A few weeks ago I had to pick up paperwork for a late filing at the Stanley Mosk and was parked at the curb at by the Music Center. Out comes a guard with the “white shirt” NO GUN with his famous badge pinned to his shirt (mistake number one is giving a badge to these people). I understand that this badge is not always on his shirt, just a rumor. Why not a sew-on patch in lieu of a badge (more on this badge later).

I believe that I read his name as Sheriff’s Employee Gonzales aka “Monster.” He tells us to move, and the way he tells us is “I am in charge and some moron gave me a ticket book.” We all have had these encounters with real cops and you of course move and fast. For a “Guard/Security”…for me I ignore them and hope they go away or call the real police, most are incompetent and a public nuisance. Sheriff’s Employee tells me “I will issue a ticket.” Problem: when did these non-sworn incompetent boobs get a ticket book? I tell him “write the ticket”, Sheriff’s Employee takes out what looks like a ticket tablet that normally goes into a black leather carrier from his back pocket and is slapping it against the palm of his hand and walks to the back of the 2011 SUV. After a few minutes he comes back and says “there are no plates,“ at which time I tell him that the SUV is new and does not come with plates…now Sheriff’s Employee Gonzales is confused and after a few moments of thinking asks for registration…when the county sent this dummy to “ticket writing school” someone should have told Sheriff’s Employee to “SPEAK to the driver”…I was a passenger, he never told the driver of the vehicle to move!! Finally the driver drove away. The last thing Sheriff Baca needs is a security guard being nicknamed “Monster“ for being over-zealous with a TICKET BOOK and writing lots of tickets(bad PR)! Tickets should be written by a Deputy not one of these budget busters that took a deputized position to save the county money.

NOTE: Is this the same Sheriff’s Employee (non-sworn as in no peace officer status) that attempted to break up a family disturbance where he lives by barging in and showing his little BADGE??? These kind of calls for the real police are some of the most dangerous when on patrol. Can we assume for the “Monster” this is easy “buzzing” potential combatants to stop as he is the law? And how often does Sheriff Employee ‘buzz’ people when out of his Sheriffs Employee uniform…TAKE THOSE BADGES AWAY SHERIFF BACA! Employees such as these will only cause problems at some point for the Sheriff’s Department and the Sheriff!

Forget Rome and the Coliseum, to hell with gladiators’ swords at the ready, all you had to do was be sitting in Judge Hank M. Goldberg’s Department 82 for a battle of two legal titans. We have Neal Hersh of Hersh, Mannis and Bogen representing Melissa Etheridge and her millions against Stephen Knowles of Knowles and Collum and Melissa’s ex-love Tammy Lynn Michaels. Both of these legal beagles have offices steps away from one another in Beverly Hills.

Well the comments and oratory got so heated that Neal Hersh references some of Stephen Knowles work as “slobbing and sloppy,” Knowles looks at him as if to say “you said what?” and one point warns Mr. Hersh, “Mr. Hersh does not want to get into that” in Neal’s attempts to get this back to Judge Pellman’s court. The voices were loud and I had never seen either of these two lawyers in such a jaw lock. Hersh at one point looks at Mr. Knowles and in a stern tone asks, “are you done?” and Knowles looks back adjusting his glasses and states just as sternly, “ Yes, I am done.“ Much of this stems from the fact that Stephen Knowles bagged Etheridge in New York while she was at her hotel waiting for her former love of her life, Mrs. Tammy Etheridge to bring the kids to visit. Well Tammy Etheridge aka Tammy Lynn Michaels called in sick to Mr. Etheridge or Mrs….you get it. And then someone delivered room service LMAO but it was not a snack but DIVORCE notice! Well that was all it took for these two lawyers to realize there will be no playing nice. It was a great set up and Melissa got served!

Mr. Hersh wants this case in Judge Pellman’s courtroom and Stephen Knowles position is too bad, I bagged your client first and you have not even served my client with anything! Well Judge Goldberg would step off the bench and appear to be confused as to what to do. He would come back and if he could have would have “placed his hands under his butt and rocked”…his “honor” did not really know what to do or was so baffled that he was going to send it to the “PJ” for review…or something around those lines. Too bad it was not in front of Judge Gordon or Lewis, control would have been taken and a decision made right then and there.

Reflecting on Rome and Caesar, here is another thought. Neal Hersh and Stephen Knowles are gladiators, sandals and little short togas to match. Judge Goldberg is Caesar, not one of the strong Caesars, but Caesar. The two gladiators are battling and in the end, they don’t get thumbs up or thumbs down, Caesar finds he lacks any thumbs!

Knowles went on to say that Tammy is broke and often her credit cards don’t work, Neal was quick to remind all that Melissa pays all the bills, rent , lights and water, everything and gives Tammy two grand a month plus pays for the car lease too. Knowles shoots back that she makes “60 to 70? thousand a day and that her kids are “destitute” and that Tammy’s credit card is often declined. For many in the court that did not seem to be “destitute” and after nine years together playing house. So now my question is do you still really want to have all the rights of “straight” people? Along with the right to marriage, welcome to the world of DIVORCE and family law…write a song about that! The Neal Hershes and Stephen Knowles of the world will be happy to sing backup.

NOTE: We love the gems John J. Nazarian picks up in the court house and then shares them on Desperate Exes.com with the rest of us that t are not in Beverly Hills and Hollywood.
