Ex Parte Hearing – Judge Randy Kennedy

This is Part 1 in the “Emergency” Ex Parte hearing that Judge Randy Kennedy held without setting the hearing and full well knowing that Danny Tate had never been served notice. The only people that had any knowledge of this hearing were Judge Kennedy, campaign contributors Paul Housch, Robert Stratton and David Tate. The entire hearing lasted 19 minutes. That’s all it took to strip Danny Tate of all constitutional rights including the right to vote, the right to marry, the right to sign his name. It even included the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Danny Tate had no idea these proceedings were taking place. And his brother David Tate had paid Paul Housch $25K retainer of Danny Tate’s money to pursue this action. Though Judge Kennedy stated in one breath that these conservatorships never achieve their goal, in the next breath he states he would not hesitate signing this order. Nothing but fraudulent hearsay allegations were presented to the court without any supporting documentation. Attorney Paul Housch knowingly defrauds the court. He’s never met Danny Tate. Everything that was presented was fraudulent allegations made by his brother, yet that is all it took.

Listen as Paul Housch claims Danny Tate is smoking $36K/mo. in “crack cocaine”. Fraud, but he got paid $25K to lie. Judge Kennedy required NO EVIDENCE.

Robert Stratton, another campaign contributor to Judge Kennedy’s unopposed “election”, was called and appointed to act as guardian ad litem, yet all they talk about is Mr. Stratton “packing heat”. David Tate had represented his brother as a dangerous man. Yet there is no criminal record, no police reports, no 911 calls, no emergency room visits, NOTHING to substantiate this claim.

Yet, it has taken three years and the entire cash estate (over 1 million dollars) of Danny Tate to fight this ongoing legal battle and the entire bill was taxed to Danny Tate who was never served notice that this kangaroo court was in session and his life was being taken prisoner. It’s an atrocity.

UnCivil Committment

Danny Tate was led away in handcuffs and committed to the lockdown unit at Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital the first time he ever set foot in Randy Kennedy’s court. No crime, no proof of danger to himself or anyone else, no evidence of an emergency, no “clear and convincing evidence”, an “expert witness”, Dr. William Kenner, who is a child psychiatrist and unqualified to testify, yet his completely deficient medical report led to the involuntary commitment. It defied reason by observers. It defied sanity.

Though Tate requested an attorney, Kennedy denied this request and ordered the “trial by surprise” to proceed. It was a rigged court, a booby trap. The law was ignored which is often the case in the 7th Circuit Court. Due process was trampled upon. It was the condensed version of Kafka meets “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.

It makes any reasonable person wonder how many wards are out there, locked away, far away, stripped of all rights, with no chance of ever escaping the conservatorship prison and never to be heard from again. Judge Kennedy regularly announces “there are more conservatorships in this court than any other court in the state”. No doubt, this could easily be true considering the ease that an unsuspecting individual can be thrown into this hell hole in this court. It’s madness turned inside out.

Impeach Randy Kennedy’s Blog

The purpose:
This site has been established to shine the light of accountability on Judge Randy Kennedy, 7th Circuit Court, Davidson County, Tennessee. This is Nashville’s probate court and we believe crimes are perpetrated on the citizens of Davidson County systematically by this court, it’s officers and certain practicing attorneys. This is legalized organized crime sanctioned by its mob boss Judge Randy Kennedy.

On this site, we will prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that this court systematically commits crimes, under color of law, to enrich its officers and an elite group of practicing attorneys.

How the probate racket works:
Pay close attention, because this next line should wake you up and give you pause. At some point, all the money of our country (and the rest of the world for that matter) will eventually makes its way through a probate court. When a person dies, this is the court who will officiate over who gets what, if any. Imagine, THE ENTIRE WEALTH OF THE WORLD, individual by individual, county-by-county, is eventually funneled through this room. THE ENTIRE WEALTH OF THE WORLD!!!

How the probate racket works, part II:
Though the law has been written to protect and conserve, rarely is that intent followed, especially when you have a cooperative judge sanctioning the proceedings in order to “take care of his colleagues”; and his colleagues, who are probate attorneys trained in the art of liquidating estates, do just that. It’s an utter hypocrisy of jurisprudence, but one that is practiced without oversight. I’ve heard it referred to as “the dark hole of the legal world”.

How the probate racket works, part III:
Remember, in the probate court there is no jury, no oversight, no accountability outside the court. Also, the probate court is a court of “liquidation”, not “preservation”, but are ordained with the duty to liquidate AND preserve. Adversarial lawyers are both being paid from the estate, so no one is inclined to get off the gravy train.

How the probate racket works, part IV:
Conservatorships, meant to conserve, are adjudicated in a court that is set up to liquidate and divide. A law meant to preserve the assets, as well as the person, of the “disabled” has been abused and morphed into a instrument that is used to loot and dispose.

>Grandchildren of Walt Disney, Father Battle for Control

>Even the lives of American royalty are not immune from being upended in Probate Court.

Three cases in Maricopa County and California courts attest to the fact.

The court battles revolve around the fortune of one of the legends of American entertainment, Walt Disney. They trace back to secret land deals in Florida. A prominent East Valley developer. A controversial Arizona real-estate baron. And two Disney heirs, his grandchildren, who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars.

The cases illustrate how even the most careful estate planning may not prevent vicious court fights from erupting when families feud. Relatives take sides, attorneys clash, and original estate terms may be altered.

The legal fees, they all say, are costing a fortune.

Britney Spears Hearing Scheduled for Oct. 14

Britney Spears’ conservatorship order is to come to an end within three months.

the 28-year-old pop star is expected to reclaim control of her life after meeting with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz last week so he could assess her general wellbeing.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “Britney has made tremendous progress in the past three to four months. She seems to be firmly in control again.

“Judge Goetz needed to meet with Britney and talk to her face-to-face, to see how she was doing. It’s one thing to read medical reports about her, but the in-person meeting was very important.

“Britney’s court-appointed attorney, Sam Imgham, was the only other person in the judge’s chambers during the 35-minute meeting.

“Judge Goetz also met with Britney’s father, Jamie separately, as well as with Britney’s therapist.”

The final decision will be made by Judge Goetz, and if he decides Spears no longer needs conservators she will be in charge of her affairs within 12 weeks.

The next conservatorship hearing is scheduled for October 14.

Britney Spears Remains Conserved

Pop star Britney Spears still cannot enjoy complete independence. Her personal and business affairs will remain under the conservatorship of her father, a Los Angeles judge ruled on Thursday.

The 28-year-old ‘Toxic’ singer privately met up with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz, who ruled that the conservatorship that Britney has been placed under is not to be yet altered.

Britney’s father Jamie Spears also met the judge separately, behind closed doors.

Though in last few status meetings with Spears’ lawyers, the judge had discussed about freeing her from the legal control of her father and attorney, but after meeting with Britney and Jamie Spears, she decided on keeping the conservatorship in place.

After talking to Spears in court chambers, Judge Goetz thought that although the singer seemed to be in improved health, she remained “susceptible to undue influence.”

Lindsey Lohan Possibly Facing Conservatorship

Court could appoint a third party for Lindsay Lohan to act as a legal guardian over her affairs.

“Under the California Welfare and Institute Code for Mental Disorders and Chronic Alcoholism, the courts may determine Lindsay unfit to care for herself even though she is an adult,” Fox News quoted former California prosecutor, Robin Sax, as telling Pop Tarts.

“This would be subject to another court hearing separate to the criminal case, and could be determined from a mental health evaluation made when and if she returns to rehab.”

Los Angeles-based criminal defense lawyer and law professor, Jeffrey W. Steinberger, believes Lohan needs someone responsible to legally manage her personal affairs, although the process may take some time.

“What she needs is an emotional conservator, she needs somebody to run the balance in her life and they (the courts) can appoint people to supervise where she is going. They can probably do that after she does this one more stint in jail,” he said.

Steinberger said that Judge Fox, who is currently residing over Lohan’s DUI case, is known to be “compassionate,” and may begin to look for an appropriate conservator between now and Lohan’s Oct. 22 hearing.

Britney Spears Seeks Her Regain Control of Her Estate

After being hospitalized in January 2008 for a very public meltdown in 2007, pop star Britney Spears has had her personal and professional affairs controlled by her father Jamie Spears. A judge at the time ruled that he and lawyer Andrew Wallet should be made co-conservators of her business affairs. But lawyers involved in her case now believe that the singer is “more than ready” to take control of her own estate again.

Speaking with E! News, an insider revealed:

“Everyone involved believes she has the necessary proof that she is competent to be in charge of her affairs. She’s more than ready.”

The Awakening

Life is strange. And the more I learn about life and what happens here, the stranger it gets.

[In]February, 2010 I read the Scene article – Court Ordered Hell – How an errant judge and a controlling sibling stripped Nashville rocker Danny Tate of his money, his livelihood and his legal rights. Initially, I couldn’t digest it; I had to read it two, three, four times. I’m STILL reading it. It tracks like a bad Mickey Spillane novel. It’s a horribly intriguing story, one that still leaves me gobsmacked; come on! How can that really happen? In the perfect and balanced world I’d held in my mind and heart, it couldn’t. But the ugly truth began to dawn: life is not what I thought it was. This kind if thing does happen, is happening, to people all over the country every single day.

I communicated with Kevin Montgomery, the friend who shared the article with me, and expressed my outrage.

“There’s a movement afoot for Danny. You need to be our boots on the ground in TN,” he told me. I was a bit knocked back on my heels. Who, me?! Kevin told me about the efforts to help this guy. He said he’d made me an admin on the Danny Tate FB group site.

“Okay,” I said. What have I gotten into?

“You and Danny need to meet.”

“Okay.” I was willing to meet; I was intensely curious. The concept of what had happened to this man haunted my thoughts, showed up in my dreams. How does this kind of thing happen? Who in their right mind would sanction any of this? The answer is, of course, that no ‘right mind’ would, but the Probate Courts are not about ‘right minds.’ At all.

Danny and I met the next week. He walked into the office, sat down, and began to share his story with me. I was overwhelmed by the things he was telling me. I interrupted often, asking questions. He was very patient with me, saying “That’s a great question, Cece.” He’d answer every question, and return to his story of what had transpired the past two-plus years. We talked for over two hours.

Through the next weeks and months we met and talked often. The more we met, the more the trust built, the more Danny shared with me.

At one point Danny told me, “I’m not the only one.” He shared the story of a woman who was being kept as a slave. She’d had a fall, went into a coma, was sent to rehab, and when she came out she discovered her car, house and belongings were gone, and she had been conserved. She’s now forced to work as a maid, house mother, cook, bookkeeper, and practical nurse … all while the courts have declared her “disabled.” And all without pay.

The woman’s name is Ginger.

I’ve since met and spent some quality time with Ginger. She and Danny have both become good friends of mine. They are so dear to me; I love them each so deeply, I cannot imagine life without them in it. It’s not a love based on pity; it’s a higher love … it’s a joining of tender hearts, and it brings tears to my eyes. It’s hard to believe that their horrific experiences are what brought us together, but I must. Because – on the surface – that in fact is what drew us. But it is not what will hold us together. Our faith, our values, and the moral imperative before us … these are what bind us. And, in spite of it all, the laughter we share.

I cannot know what I’ve discovered about the abuse of Danny and Ginger and untold others and not have it change the direction I’m going. So I will do what I can, as long as I can, to affect positive experiences and ultimate emancipation in the lives of those who have been wrongly conserved. If I am honest with myself, and I am, there is no other calling at this point. It’s as simple, and as complicated, as that.
