Put a squatter in the judges house.
I like this idea!
And revoke the judge's powers for a year while it happens so that he can't use his privileges to nullify it.
@@JackOfAllRAIDs I like that spin you put on it definitely
I sometimes think ideas like that should be put in play so these judges understand what normal law abiding citizens are going through.
Yes and the judge in prison.
Unbelievable!!! The judge should be held accountable!!!
Total pos
Did you even watch the story ? The court was given fraudulent documents. I would blame the staff for not properly confirming the documents were accurate .
@@mizzury54 If they were fooled by a squatter, they definitely shouldn't be a judge.
He's probably a punk AZZ MF and he needs da brakes beat off his candy AZZ
@@mizzury54 > The court was given fraudulent documents
Any moron could see that the dates didn't match on the documents. They were not "fraudulent" as much as they were just "fake" and a single glance would have shown the issues. There is a big difference.
A squatter can sue you for jail, lie and win a case. It's absolutely disgusting that he taunted the family after the loss of a child!! This judge and clerk should be sued for the restoration of the house and pain and suffering. Wtf
No doubt a Obama appointed Judge...
@@jackjohnsen8506 -- It's a state judge, jackass.
Suit filed. Plaintiff lies and claims the defendant was served. When the defendant doesn't answer, plaintiff files motion for default. Given no record of an answer, the court grants default without considering the merits of the case. That's how the rules work. It's not special treatment.
But, the rules also allow the defendant to reopen the case and show there was a defect in the service, and it sounds like that is happening here. The judgment will be (or likely already was) reversed, and the plaintiff will be sanctioned, although that may be a moot point if he has no assets.
And despite the tone of the news story, it isn't up to the clerk to verify that a process server isn't in jail on the date he claims to have served someone with papers. It isn't up to the clerk to dispute and verify every notary stamp, and make sure people were in the right places for that to be valid. Good job on the reporters for digging into this, and the publicity definitely helped the situation, but there were no failings on the part of the court or it's personnel -- this was all on the scammer/plaintiff.
Appointed to this position by Gov. Bill Owens (R) so lots of doubt. @@jackjohnsen8506
Absolutely!!
That’s one of the WORST judges I’ve ever seen😠 He didn’t even bother to verify the documents 😡
Apparently this judge is one of the few willing to admit he dun goofed instead of doubling down
Apparently they’re all this crooked
Thwyre getting dumber.
None of them do so. It's not their job.
Judge has no business to be on bench.

Dr. Beau Hightower, although not a subscriber, I have always enjoyed your RUclips channel and I feel the work you do is truly amazing. It saddens me the only time our paths cross in this life is here... I see your comment denotationally takes no position but connoted it does. Please keep a few things in mind when digesting this media broadcast. First, "the dead woman" is Wendy, my common law wife. The "family" I sued was for medical bills along with other damages I have endured awhile trying to find the chance to grieve the loss of Wendy. It will not allow me to post pictures here, but I was trying to include many things Mr. Eric Ross left out of the story. For instance, the restraining order or felony charges against the "family" for all the abuse they have inflicted upon me. The "family" never showed any interest in Wendy until her death because they thought she had a large monetary amount to pass onto them. Mr. Ross saying, "I lived in a dead woman's house," although may not be the most sensitive choice of words could hold some truth, so long as one realizes it was a home, I solely paid the mortgage on in addition to all the other bills because my deceased wife was a stay-at-home mother. Litigating a defamation claim is a difficult task within Colorado as our laws are arranged to allow media to do as they please unlike many others that fetter such. I appreciate your taking the time to leave a comment and I apologize for the bitter taste this has given all of us whether and weight is given to my words or not. I did sue KOAA in the Fourth Judicial District in 2019CV150 Cole v KOAA. It was decided by the Honorable District Judge Kane that my complaint was lacking. I amended it multiple times where I agreed with Kane the complaint was lacking. The final Amended Complaint filed around December of 2020 took me 3 months to draft and around 2k pages of reading. The grammar was nothing to write home about but now looking back with having some formal education in law, it had to be one of the best pro se complaints regarding defamation written in Colorado. KOAA offered to eat the $20k in attorney fees a losing plaintiff normally is liable for so long as I waive my right to appeal. The case skirted multiple lines drawn by the Colorado Supreme Court and I now regret not filing the appeal. After writing this reply to your comment I have it on my mind to request a tardy appeal filing. It is not sought to fetter the media, but the average Joe has no chance at prevailing pro se in a defamation claim here in Colo. if his name is tarnished by a negligent reporter. Along with the family stating I did not know Wendy, they also stated I injected/drugged her so I could rap her while she was incapacitated. The police soon learned those were all false statements. Two years later, almost to the date, a lady (I'll call "A") that I had spoken with a few times prior on social media and such called me and claimed she and her bf had lost their home and was stuck out in the cold, could I please help. I did not realize she was friends of the "family" and I offered them a few nights on my sofa. On Dec 19th, 2019 I was woke by my female roommate (Nikki) in the middle of the night. Nikki stated that A claimed I drugged and rapped her in almost the exact same way the "family" claimed two years prior. I immediately called the Colorado Springs Police department. I was arrested and given a court appointed attorney. I waited in jail for 7 months to get my day in court pleading not guilty the entire time. Months went by and my court appointed attorney stated each month that she had had no luck in locating any of my roommates/witnesses. Without any witnesses it just came down to her word against mine and Mr. Ross was right I did have a prior felony conviction in TX for drugs. The DA offered me to go home the same day if I would just sign this agreement for probation. Seven months at CJC (El Paso County's jail) is a rough situation to say the least, I wasn't guilty but was ready to go home and took the deal. A week later I realized I wasn't honestly allowed freedom that the offering of probation was merely a scam to get me to plea guilty because the DA had no case, and it was the only hope for a conviction. After a week of freedom, I am sitting in jail thinking ok I will be home in 30 days after the first time I go to court because my probation will be reinstated. What gave me that idea was we are in cells with 40 other people and half of those were probation violators. Not 8 out of 10 or 9 out of 10, but 10 out of 10 of those violators that went to their first court date was then on their way home as their probation had been reinstated. Some had caught new charges, some had failed a UA, some never reported, yet each one went home. In the one week on probation, I had attended 3 sex offender therapy group sessions (yes because I was now a sex offender), obtained a replacement ID and SS card, obtained employment, maintained a place to live, never missed a probation meeting where I had already had two or three, never failed a UA, never got in any new trouble, ext. Anyway, I wasn't out five minutes and had located every witness possible but now am on my way to prison. My only hope of removing this false conviction and not having to register as a sex offender is by the grace of the Co. Court of Appeals which is coming up soon. By the mercy of God, I have been blessed with appointed counsel that is effective. The first time I spoke with him, he said, "I've read the case file and it looks as though you did not commit this crime." I was like no shit that’s what I’ve been trying to say this entire time. His name is James West and the first thing he did was file a CRCP Rule 35b which had me immediately released from prison with a completed term. Graced, my prison experience was short lived (few months). Now, if the court of Appeals will allow me to file an appeal in the KOAA case as its late, and the felony conviction is overturned, my life could be worth living as it will never be back to normal. It’s all been one hellish nightmare, but I know Wendy wouldn't want me to give up and I have two boys Peyton and Bryce (perfect babies, perfect kids, and now perfect adults) that would want the same as Wendy and my fiancée Bella Hope DeVere-Cole which may be pregnant (but no one knows that yet) is always amazingly at my side no matter what the press must lie about. I apologize for the ramble I just went on; I didn't intend to explain this much. JCole 11/21
@@jackieacole for the love of God you sound so much like a delusional narcissist; you think anyone would believe you if you talk long enough about legal this and legal that when *You* falsified court documents. Let go of your ego, and just listen to yourself for a second; quit thinking you sound intelligent. There is a difference between intelligence and wisdom. You foolishly use your intelligence for fraudulent purposes, it would appear. Have one shred of empathy and Let the Mother and Sister grieve their daughter/sister and leave them alone. If you care about your “common-law” wife so much, you won’t care about her house (you paid some payments on much as a *renter* would, but didn’t purchase), or be concerned with a car... *you could have* got a job, and earned those things for yourself, found another house to *rent*. Did you forget You *trashed* the house (video doesn’t lie)! Did you watch the video??? Who does that to their dearly beloveds home, just to keep the mom and sister from getting closure?? Your comment is nonsense. I wish I could give you some ability to have feeling for someone else’s suffering, instead of only feeling sorry for yourself. I’m not even related but can have empathy for the mom and sister because I’ve lost a spouse, but cannot imagine the pain of losing my own child. You’re a cruel person not to give up property so another person can grieve. 😒😞😞😞. It’s *just* a house.... that you trashed. It’s a memory to the mom and sister; they needed time to process and you stole that from them.
What else is new.
What's insane is that this country fails to recognize housing as a human right.
That judge needs to held accountable and the family should sue for all the stress they have been through.
This judge is disgusting 😢 He needs to be held accountable 😢
Did you watch the entire video? The county clerk and the judge were fooled by the paperwork. It wasn’t like he just chose to let the guy win, it was a default judgment because she didn’t show up to the courthouse. It should be cleared up once the paperwork has been filed to nullify the award.
Disrobe that judge. Wtf
It’s actually not the judges fault. It’s what’s called a default judgement. It is an automatic process that happens when the other side doesn’t show up. The inmate is a sneaky POS and the clerks office should have caught it before it was approved to be put on the docket. Defaults are automatically entered.
Learn law and you dont have this problem.
I don't want to see that
Disrobe? Lmao
Bruh, he gets disrobed every night
That judge should be removed from the bench and all of their cases reviewed.
NO DOUBT TO MUCH CORRUPTION. THEY NOT LYING GOOD GUYS FINISH LAST......
I said the samething. SMDH
Why? He followed the LAW. He is NOT an investigator. He is required, by law, to assume the documents before him have been properly vetted by the court clerks. The ONLY way he could have known was if the papers were properly served and the defendants showed up. They did not show up so the LAW says he must find for the plaintiffs. You folks need to get some understanding of how the law works. You are very ignorant.
I was saying the same thing! Yes!
the judge should pay the defendant in prison lol
Ridiculous! How is breaking and entering a home that cost hundreds of thousand of dollars a civil matter and not first degree grand theft?!?
I agree but somehow a lot of places have laws that favor the squatters. The best advice I've found since watching a bunch of these squatter videos is: don't call the cops or approach the squatters asking what is going on. Get some buddies, pull up late at night, break into the house, and corral the squatters out. Do not let them use a phone. Then once the house is clear call the cops and report they broke into the house, you woke up to noises and found the door/window broken and these people rifling through your stuff. Claim you have no idea what they're talking about, stick to your break-in story. That's the only way cops will treat them like criminals.
@@bertwhetstone3173 lmao low key true
I had a squatter during Covid .... I called the authorities .... They told me he had rights ..... Like WTH??? That right cost me over 12k..... Like someone said .... Criminals are favored more than the homeowner / landlords .... 🤬
Well that's when you get your little 9 mm out and you go bang bang! You're not squatting in my house, your breaking and entering my home... bang! There I handled my civil problem civilly!
When shit like this happens (and it happens often) you're better off taking the money you'd spend on a lawyer, and give it to someone who breaks kneecaps for a decent price!
Amen
Exactly.... The courts/lawyers are as useless as these squatters.
Tonya Harding?
And throw in the 500,.00 more and off with the judge head
Don't stop at kneecaps.
The Court system is broken ,the judge is lazy and the courthouse is crooked. What a joke!
"So how did the courts overlook this information?"..... Bc they don't GAF!

This "judge" is an example of what is wrong with this country the "judge" should be ashamed and resign out of respect for the position.
I’m a notary in Tennessee and we have laws that prevent this kind of reckless and illegal practice. This is a shameful failure.
This is a reporter actually doing his job. UPDATE: The judge later threw out the lawsuit and declared Cole a vexatious litigant, meaning that he can't sue anyone without the court's permission.
He is doing more than his job it seems but good on him!
@M J He was asking questions and getting answers on a subject or story he thought was relevant and/or affected his community. At no point did he say that he found any evidence to convict anyone of anything or that he solved any crime.
He brought up mistakes that our judicial system made and after investigating, he demanded accountability. I think he did exactly what his job asks him to do and he did an excellent job, especially without spouting any of the right or left wing bull that most stories are spun with.
“What’s wrong with our system? “
Our system is increasingly protective of predators and dismissive of victims and victim families.
Gotta protect yourself.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
THIS....times about one million. I will never, ever understand why the life and rights of some rapist, murderer, etc....is more important than the victim or families.
Yep. Finders keepers basically.
Or you can claim to be a victim like the felon did.
Sounds more like where I'm from, Canada.
Unbelievable injustice. What a great news reporter.
Amazing how stealing FROM a home is criminal, but stealing an ENTIRE home is civil.
falsifying court documents is a felony that can get up to 30 years in prison, i hope he gets the full sentence
Him and everyone else involved notary included.
Obviously somebody on the outside or in the courts are working with these criminals inside of jail..Smh
And half of million dollars waiting for him when he gets out.
Can’t say that I’d shed any tears if something happened to this criminal. Just sayin’.
He already in prison
What my friends and I did with a house in the neighborhood that had been taken over is that we started watching the house, seeing who goes in and who goes out. We finally found a time when everyone had left. We told the owner what we were doing and..... Myself and two friends moved in, took all of their possessions out of the house, threw them on the sidewalk (large amounts of stolen Amazon packages), and placed our furniture inside. We changed the locks. They called the police on us, but it was a civil case so the police could not do anything. We claimed that we moved in when we found the house 'abandoned'. Not sure how legal that was, but they did not argue it... The additional crazy thing was that Amazon had already replaced the stolen merchandise, so they did not want the packages back and would not file charges. So the owner had a mess on her hands, but she had her rental back..... and the neighbors helped her clean and paint. We stick together, like neighbor's should.
That's EXACTLY the way to do it!!! 💯
Awesome sauce!!!
Just. Wow. Very clever. Love it! 👍
Awesome!
That's awesome! Kudos to all of you.
So sorry for the loss of your sister and for you having to go through such a nasty scam. I question why a judge would side with such criminals as these. He needs to be investigated.
I agree. That judge needs to be looked at closely and possibly be sued.
Everyone involved in the court system should be fired! And sues for their incompetence in letting falsified documents go through.
Dude falsified official documents, him and his buddy should be charged with multiple felonies.
It could even fall under federal law for organized crime.
The judge should also lose his lincense for missing their falsification!
Problem is anyone can make a lease . What needs to be done is any documents related to renting, selling or otherwise be transfered in person by the owner and the other party at the county clerks office and recorded.
Those scumbags Jack and Travis don't know it but I have falsified DNR cards and other power of attorney documents for them as well.
I have full power of attorney over both of these scumbags if they are incapacitated due to cardiac arrest or any other life-threatening medical emergency.
I have DNR cards and power of attorney orders over several dozen convicted scumbags, squatters and thieves all across the US and that number is rapidly growing.
And I will admit that I am trained in first aid and CPR and I knowingly refused service to a couple of homeless criminals within the last couple of years.
If a convict files a frivolous lawsuit it should automatically increase his sentence!
Fortunately or unfortunately, he is still entitled to due process, but it's more than just a frivolous lawsuit, there were crimes committed to even get it in front of the judge. This Cole guy doesn't care. What more can they do to him? He's already being locked up for a lengthy period and has all day to go through with other schemes.
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou: That's not a problem, just give it to him, but in the end, add another charge and conviction to his list.

Put him in _the hole_ for 6 weeks and serve him _Nutraloaf™_ a few times per week. There must be some kind of punishment that they can do on top of prison time. Writing, _I shall not file frivolous lawsuits,_ 1000 times and being barred from filing anything civil without going through a licenced attorney is a good start.
Slip a few bucks to one of his portion prison mates. A dirt nap.
What is the matter with that Judge ? He should be held accountable.
There is a place in HELL for these criminal scumbags and the judge who allowed this for putting this family in even more of a NIGHTMARE in their lives.
The employees from the court should be fired for their incompetence ... Judge included!!!
how did a news report put together all the facts about the law when the Judge, Lawyer, Prosecutor who all major in Law didn't put 2 and 2 together and not see the paper work was all fake...I need this reporter to defend me in court
Learn the facts of the case FIRST before making an IGNORANT judgement.
Because they are blithering morons? Just my guess...
The felon didn't have representation, and there is no prosecutor in a civil case...
Because they LOOKED. Courts don't look unless someone tells them to in the form of a court filing, which the defendant couldn't make because the defendant was never served with the notice of the lawsuit. It's not the court's job to investigate in a civil suit, it's the plaintiff's job and the defendant's job. Even in a criminal case, it's not the court's job to investigate, that's what police are for.
There was no lawyer or Prosecutor mentioned.
It's infuriating that with all that evidence against the squatter the family STILL have to file a motion to set aside the default judgment. It should have been dismissed immediately.
This is INFURIATING!!! Everyone in the justice system who handled that paperwork as though it was legitimate and perfectly acceptable, should have been put out on their a**es! I'm too angry to even go back and watch it again. Did the inmates get any time added to their sentences for this BS?
It's disgusting how so many judges care more about the criminals who hurt people than the victims they hurt.
If the person who is being sued does not show up to court then a default judgment is rendered. This is what happened here . The judge would rule the same way in any other case like this .
@@mizzury54 yeah accept the case should have been thrown out.
Agree
@@mizzury54 She never showed up because she was never served any papers. The squatter who was suing didn't use an actual process server but listed his criminal friend as the server and his friend was in jail when the papers were allegedly served. They never were served.

No. It's not. That is not what happened here
There's really no such thing as "squatting"; it's "home-invasion-robbery" .
Right? Why even call the cops? Just break into your own home, kill them all and then say they broke in and tried to rob you. They have no word and any of the stuff that makes it look like theirs, just destroy it.

That’s what the laws are for and there’s similar laws in every single red state. And in every single red state you also have some people who take advantage of the loopholes.

It's like renting an apartment, never paying rent for a whole year, then suing the apartment management for mental abuse & harrassment.

Crooked judges like this is the reason our justice system has turned into a complete joke!
well he must have known the girl
when things like wills, and money getting passed out, a whole house
people tend to lie, cheat and steal. even your own family
maybe it's her boyfriend, they want the money so they are causing all this trouble
im not holding my breath
Lady needs to hire somebody that breaks kneecaps or give me a call because I guarantee you if that was my family, I don't give a rat's ass about squatters rights or squatters laws they're not going to like the way I put them out of there, and there ain't no way in hell they're going to be driving my dead relatives car FK THAT!!! People need to man up, if you got to go to jail for a couple of months then so be it but having some dirtbags laid up in my dead relative's home and driving their car and shit that's just not an option, it's just not going to happen.
I’d like to send squatters to this judge’s house when he’s on vacation. Too bad, so sad.
I've always found it amazing that a crook can steal your car and immediately gets arrested and locked up, but the same crook can steal your home and there's nothing the homeowner can do about it except wait for months and months to get the case before the court and can't get their property back.
What’s the update on this case??
These judges and courts need to be held accountable ! No more immunity !
"A Secret Society of Hooligans desecrating the dead."
Exactly!! Where is it morally right for THIEVES/SQUATTERS to have more rightsb than the owners??
@@carmeng5421 For the state to intervene on their behalf makes them agents of the state and thereby violating laws on quartering troops.
Yes.
But more than that, the legal system should be changed.
There shouldn't be any default judgments. And lawsuits should be served by the court itself.
It's a very common tactic to falsify the conditions under witch a lawsuit is served, especially in family court.
Lawyers know this trick and it's often used to get a default ruling, especially involving child support.
And it's incredibly hard and expensive to get the default ruling overturned. Victims of this fraud are often forced to pay so much money that they don't have any money left to pay for a lawyer themselves. As all their income is being taken under the threat of imprisonment. This is also how they make men pay child support who are not even the father. And it's done thousands of times every year.
Amen!
Since when is breaking and entering a civil matter.
💯💯💯💯
Apparently it’s breaking and entering then leaving that is illegal. If you never leave then it’s totally fine. 🤷🏻♂️
I think this video is forgetting that this was her boyfriend or something
Since Cops got lazy.
Since cops are lazy parasites.
What we used to do with rental property whether it was a squatter or a tenant that stopped paying rent, we would simply take the door off and take it with us. It was like an $800 ticket, but a lot cheaper than them not paying rent for months and destroying the house/apartment. And they would usually leave quickly.
Love this idea
Love that reporter's work. Five star job!
This incompetent judge should be thrown out of office! For what he gets paid, we should expect perfection and not numerous errors in his judgment.
& into the same cell with his darling pet criminal
Most Judges are Elected Autocrats or life time appointments. Sadly.
The clerk should go as well for letting this past their desk.
Sloppy. Lazy. Imagine not caring enough to demand that all those people who signed documents show up in court.
They are all crooked..judges
Some of these judges ruin people's lives--even get domestic violence victims killed with their gross incompetence but can never show their faces when it's time to give an explanation.
And the notary public needs her commission revoked for notarizing a clearly false document.
Oh but the court takes special care to ensure parties are served in like you raise, Darknessfalls, for domestic violence. They require 2-500$ per person in service and that has to be verified in the court. Or not apparently.
@@blairbushproject Right. Still a messed up system.
They also lock the man up off of a lie that they hurt the female. Some guys are innocent. I know this from first hand experience...
Sue the judge and county. Absolutely ridiculous
So, what was the eventual outcome of this, seeing as how it was posted 3yrs ago..?!
Judgement was tossed out and he now has to get court approval before he can file any more lawsuits in the future
Yeah please post your source
@@yourbrokenoven if you want source look into yourself
That’s great 😃
@@christopherhillanbrand7961 do you realize that a quick google might not give you the answers you’re looking for? Look into it more, you say? Why? I’d rather talk to people and find out the issues than search forever online to find a bunch of unanswered questions. Whereas, there may be people on here that live in the town and simple might have more information on the subject than the wrong answers I might find on google.

No point on a countersuit against someone in prison with no assets.
@@teresrlove I don't think the word "morning" means what you think it means.
Absolutely....as well as the court staff that moved the document through the system and placed it before the judge. There should also be charges against the felon for filing a fraudulent legal document. One of the problems with prison is these felons have nothing but time on their hands and access to law libraries where they can spend days...months...years finding loopholes to exploit.
@@TaDarling1 It isn't the clerk's job to investigate documents. That falls to the parties or their attorneys. The clerks file the documents and take care of circuit finances.
Sue back that criminal, plus sue the judge & court house
Unbelievable unbelievable the judge that ordered he needs to be locked up
I was prison guard many years till I retired let me tell you these kind of people don't care for any one but themselves they are evil, this Cole dude isn't worth the air he breathes.
I agree. I hear bad things about prison and sometimes feel bad. Then I see what they did and I wish it was worse.
👍👍👍👍👍
Let's hope you treated everyone in contact with you with dignity and respect....
@@yongyea4147 As much dignity and respect as they gave those they harmed I hope.

An actual real reporter that HELPS people instead of telling lies... Now that is awesome!! LOVE this! Thank you Eric Ross!
Local reporters are still mostly good people. It's anyone at the national level that you gotta be very wary of.
Yes and after this the charges was dropped
Update on this case?
The homeowner should sue the city and the court judge I wouldn't pay that jerk a dime. Get your lawyer and file a lawsuit against the city and the court judge to have him remove from office
What a scammer. That guy deserves to stay in jail for along time.
I was just talking about this with a guy at work. It's absolutely insanely disgusting how a judge can rule in a criminal's favor that breaks into someone's house and steals and uses their property.
Let them out. How deep can a backhoe go ?
Yeah, legal re-victimization. Sick.
Exactly! That judge needs to be removed!
You guys seriously need to play the video. He filed a spurious suit using forged and fraudulent documents. They have filed for Summary Judgement and that renders the case moot.
@@godschildyes Maybe you need to take her place.
Thank god for news 5 and this reporter
Homeowners should sue the judge.
It's amazing that if I break into a house steals something and leave I could be charged with breaking and entering. But if I break into a house AND STAY, claiming I own the house, the owner has to prove HE owns the house.
In most places ALL you have to do is have mail delivered to the address with your name. Once a cop sees that, that is proof of residency as far as they are concerned.
@@paulmfannin You all in the US are pure NUTS! Glad I left!
@@22ergie ...sure wish I could leave here, this isn’t the good old US of A anymore!!!
@@pamsmith7107 You are absolutely right, Pam, and that is exactly why I left. The US of today looks NOTHING like when I was growing up. The best times are gone and will never return. It's been five years, and I've never looked back. I'm a proud Army vet, and I miss certain things like Thanksgiving, certain foods and conveniences, but I've adjusted well in Europe. For me the best times were childhood, then the 80s, college there, and Mom when she was still alive. God Bless you, and the USA. :) PS) What's stopping you, Pam?
@@22ergie I’m tempted all of the time to leave. I have to get into a better finically situation first, still getting on my feet after college. But it’s just a mess here. Living in SF, we keep having side shows where people are getting hit and killed. No arrests, they just chase them away and leave it at that. But if I go 20mph over on the freeway, they’ll take my ass to jail real quick for “reckless driving”. Doing donuts in the middle of an intersection is not reckless enough for them... The legal system is broken, 99% of car breakins go unpunished. They drive around smashing and grabbing dozens of cars in a single day, no one ever gets arrested. It’s lawless here and it feels like you you are punished here for being a law abiding citizen.
The law doesn't have to answer to anyone, they get their paycheck regardless
First, anyone can file anything. Second, litigants can file FALSE proof of service and get a default judgment. This is perpetrating a fraud on the court. This con will not be able to collect; the judgment will be set aside.
Cheques and balances...
@@CF-ei5oz the court has yet to do so
Dude I'm stealing your quote
@@onradioactivewaves what this guy he don't know very much inmates get a paperwork notarized in prison on the f****** time you leave the inmate locker since it to the secretary at the front office where inmates are not allowed and the secretary you really got a notary on staff to legalize documents either the prisoners documents for the court and stuff like that or inmates and she turns it over to the lock Court who brings it back to the inmate maybe within 24 hours this guy's stupid as hell there's always a notary on staff the federal court said so long time ago that inmates document must be notarized by notary at the prison
Great reporting, is there a follow-up on this?
You guys (news 5) are great I can’t believe the court and the judge, they should be liable for the family.
That judge needs to be investigated
She’s right, what is wrong with the system? She pays taxes, taxes that pay for the police and the judge. The criminal lost his rights when he squatted.
I'd take care of something like that offline
Not all rights.
Actually, squatters do have some rights and the fact that they "squatted" can lead to eventual ownership under certain circumstances, the key factor of which is the lack of a claim by the original owner within a certain amount of time. The legal concept of squatting is well established in the common law. However, no one has the right to smash their way into someone else's home no matter what they do afterwards. That is a crime in itself. That, and the fact that they committed further crimes in the residence, make them burglars, not squatters.
@Roger Correct, squatters' rights are VERY limited. In my home state, a squatter must be in the home for 10 years before they can claim it as their own. Breaking into the home disqualifies them as a squatter, they are a criminal.
@@jgunther22 sadly it’s an antiquated law. Then again that’s how this country began I guess…settlers squatted on land that wasn’t theirs 😔
It was finally tossed out and because he sued over 12 people, he has to get permission to even file anymore lawsuits. He admitted, he falsified his paperwork, after this news story. No answer as to how so many people at the court house, overlooked all the errors
Thank you mr Ross,
The fact that this is even possible is absurd
Absurd to the extreme what gives them the right to your property and they won't let you defend your own property we got to call BS somewhere
No words. What kind of a judge creates such an abysmal mess for a family already so traumatized?
G. David Miller....say his name.
A judge who only looks at what clerks and other administrative people process and present him. Like any other judge. It's not up to him to investigate on anyone's behalf. He does need to 'clean house' among his clerks and those handling the paperwork though.
@@bobbipson8906 I doubt Judge Judy would have let that get past her
We both know what kind of judge does this ,but it sounds like someone had some inside help in the court system
But Texas pretends it’s such a LAW AND ORDER STATE😂 atleast this never fly in CA
what a mockery. disgusting. people need to rise up. our forefathers would pickup arms. shameful
Unbelievably irresponsible of the court and judge. Even if this stupid judgement is set aside this poor family has to deal with the stress and legal costs. What a messed up system.
Holy shit! If this isn't a joke, the judge needs to be sent to prison. Give him some time to think about his mistakes.
The judge is a clown. Get him off the bench. Let him clean Joe biden's diapers
It is not the judges fault. Blame the prosecuter. It is the prosecuters job to present a good argument and to prove that those documents were fake. The judge is handed evidence and arguments from both sides.

Judges need to be held accountable
G. David Miller. Remember that name on Election Day. Give the reporter a medal.
Judge? He shouldn't be a walmart greeter with that incompetence.
It’s not the judges fault. A default judgement is entered automatically when the other side doesn’t show up. The judge has no say. The inmate is a sneaky POS and the clerk should have caught it before putting it on the docket.
@@hc507 Did the prisoner show up for court, if he is in jail?
@@billd.6847 no I’m sure he didn’t, but because he filed, that’s all he needs to do. That’s why that page showing service of the paperwork is so important. You can think of the lawsuit as a hot potato. He ‘threw it’ by filing, and because he filed something showing they caught the potato, they are suppose to respond, or show up to court to respond the day the court case is seen by the judge. Because they didn’t (though that’s not their fault at all because this prisoner is sneaky and found a loophole that shouldn’t have been there due to the court clerk not actually verifying the documentation and telling the judge it was good to go) they were then left holding the hot potato and the song ran out. Same as a ticket you get for your car. If the officer writes a ticket, and you don’t pay it or show up, the judge has to automatically file a default judgement against you because you didn’t fight it and say it was wrong. Again, not these guys fault, but that is the way the court is set up. With how many people sue, these courts are absolutely swamped and this shows why each step of that process is so important. One lazy person can have a massive domino effect. But the judge cannot do it all, and it’s not their job to verify the initial documents. That’s where the clerks office messed up.
@@hc507 thanks
