In the Sacramento Bee, a newspaper that serves most of the state of California, I found something incredibly sad but true about the Placer County Judicial System.

"The Placer County judicial system has long been one of the state's worst. It has the state's highest rate of disciplinary removal of judges. Lawyers try to avoid it. All this can be traced to the 'we-do-what-we-want-on-our-plantation' attitudes of the closed club of local politicians and judges who have controlled the Placer courts for decades.

Placer County supervisors took the advice of judges Frances Kearny and Larry Gaddis and voted to turn Placer's third-rate system into a fifth-rate one. Unhappy that Public Defender Leonard Tauman has at times placed the interest of his clients before those of the club, they voted to remove him. The replacement is an outfit notorious in legal circles for turning the judicial process into a production line. This was supposed to save money eliminating trials. "-Laurance S. Smith of Newcastle wrote in the paper

People who reside in Placer County know about this "inner circle of the Placer County Judicial System" especially those who have went to court for custody matters.

Numerous people have told me of their nightmares in the Placer County courtrooms and a couple of them I was able to witness first hand. This little 'clique' thrives on money... Once you go in for a court order on an obvious 'no brainer' case, that in any responsible, trustworthy, court you would have gotten due to overwhelming proof in your favor, you literally spend your life paying for it.

Placer County Judicial System

Money seems to have tipped the scales of justice. These lawyers and judges in Placer County decide who wins and who loses the very first time they see you. If you choose to fight, they will spend every waking moment bleeding your bank account dry.

I know this story of George and Marsha. There is more to the story...so much more. The abuse didn't end after George divorced Marsha, no he and his disfunctional family knew that unless George remarried a "respectable" girl and not the stripper he was engaged too, and had a daughter with, he would never get custody of the children. And he only wanted custody to spite Marsha, not because he cared about the children. So, along came Tish, a friend of Georges sister, young, niave, and gulliable, she fell for the trap. For 12 years Tish was abused by George and his disfunctional family. Finally she found her courage and jumped bus and got out of there. But there is more, oh so much more...interested? Email Ikway on her AC site and learn the truth of this distorted story. It's time it was told. Wonder why Tish and Marsha never got together to go after George together? That would have been a great ending to a sad story.

Follow the bucks and sweetheart contract, check political contributions see who' judge's wife is using prison Labor per seeking grants; be aware, you will be deemed Vexatious that will end your access to enforce the public records act, see the making of Kearney by Garbolino, an offer she could not resist

I agree with S.L. Bradish,it is a disgrace PLACER COUNTY has not been investigated. I am surprised at how many times placer county judges have been disiplined and that is as far as it goes. It seems these judges answer to no one, that is not how are judical system was set up,and why if it so obvious, has nothing been done. Are they that untouchable, I think not. I too know victims of PLACER COUNTY JUDICAL SYSTEM, and from what I have seen it is the children who are the real victims.

If anyone wants some valid insight into the child protection industry read: This is Child Protection? By Gregory A. Hession, J.D. This article is probably the most accurate article I have read exposing the secretive world of CPS. Ever wonder why the juvenile/family courts are not open to the public, know you will know! State CPS regulations are just for show.

I too am aware of this case that Sharon pointed out. I hope that those girls get taken away from those sick minded freaks as soon as possible. Hopefully there will be someone out there with a brain to step in and serve justice. Poor kids, they have already been through so much as a result of these 'women' and their malicious behavior!!!

I know one of these cases. The one about the dad committing suicide. Pretty much all of Auburn knows that the mom who was having the lesbian affair was abusing the children along with her 'lover'. What a vile and nasty couple of people. I feel for the father who was obviously only trying to protect his kids. It is a shame the courts listened to the lying offenders in this case.

Das Ding -- I have had a similar experience with Judge Penney and Placer County. Please contact me through the associated content message system. My child is still gone. Remains in an abusive, horrific living situation. If you have just a minute, I would be so grateful to hear from you in a less public forum. Thank you.

Marie obviously either knows nothing of the case or she's thinking of another case altogether. This happened to relatives of mine and I happen to know Manda Spring has everything right. So shut up and go back under your rock, Marie.

Manda Spring has hit it on the head with the corruption of the Placer County Judical system. My family was attacked by Placer CPS attack dogs and thrown into family court presided over by the incompetent Judge Jeff Penney, who seemed to be asleep the whole time. Through kidnapping,perjury, threats and extortion tactics, all sanctioned by the moron Penney, they tried to keep our son from us in order to force us into their asinine, contracted social service programs. Well, it didn't work. We got our son back and now we have a federal case against the CPS goons and the county as a whole, dishonorable Judge Penney is keeping the Placer County tradition of CA judical review slapdowns alive, the bogus attorney hired by CPS for my son will be disbarred, and the CPS goons are being held personally responsible for their attacks on my family. Placer County will once again have to raid the taxpayers pockets to pay for the county's screwups. Hell, the DOJ and FBI might get involved. Keep up
