Rami (RAH-ME) is a retired American Veteran who served in the United States Army for many years, was an honored civic leader and has made his home in sunny California.
Rami is a married and successful businessman, and has recently been diagnosed with a syndrome called Aphasia, making it difficult for him to communicate effectively.
In October 2003, Rami approached his family for help, stating the physical, financial and mental abuse inflicted on him by his wife, Robin, of three years, that he was afraid of her and desperately wanted a divorce - she is 20 years his junior. Rami's family immediately took him to the emergency room where he was diagnosed with malnutrition, dehydration and Vitamin B12 deficiency. He remained hospitalized for approximately two weeks. It was learned that Robin had been giving Rami approximately 17 unnecessary drugs, which he stopped taking while living with family, and his health improved significantly. Robin filed for Conservatorship over Rami, and although Rami did not want a conservator, he asked his niece to act in that capacity. Rami's niece and family have helped Rami for over a year - Rami was independent and happy.
During the Conservatorship trial, Judge Joseph Kalin disallowed evidence to prove Rami's allegations against Robin, and instead found that Rami was delusional. Judge Kalin appointed Conservator Daniel Stubbs, who was suggested by Robin's attorneys. Judge Kalin also gave dementia powers to the conservator. Robin has and continues to use Rami's money to employ a large firm and control Rami and his assets. Rami's strong desire for independence and divorce have gone unheard.
On January 8, 2005, Conservator Stubbs removed Rami from his sister's home under false pretenses, and took him to his wife, the very person Rami wanted to be away from. Rami has been confined to his home, and despite attempts by family and friends to visit him, he is not permitted to receive visitors. Rami's attorney had to petition the court to see her client. She was allowed to visit him once after he was taken, where Rami advised her that Robin and Stubbs had him sign various unknown papers. Rami's attorney has since been removed by the court.
We believe Rami is living in silence and has no control of his life. He told both his attorney and a visiting detective that he doesn't want to be with Robin and that he's afraid of her and Stubbs. Because Rami has trouble communicating doesn't mean he doesn't feel, have desires or know what's happening to him . Rami can communicate using various methods, such as hand gestures, facial expressions, and sometimes he does form a complete sentence.

He is a veteran. Thought some might be interested, or even interested to help. He is in CA, in the LA area.
"Rami served two tours in Vietnam in the United States Army and worked as a medic. He received a Purple Heart, Bronze Star, approximately 11 commendations and medals.
Following his remarkable military career, Rami became active in civics and local leadership. He has been honored by Presidents Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43."
Wow!!
Sounds like good advice. Shall we all (Terri warriors) view it?
Terri wasn't the first attempt at spouse murder (read up
on Michael Martin) nor I fear, will she be the last.
I think, decades ago, truly no one outside the family was
involved or knew much, if anything about such cases, back
when opiates were OTC, etc. Nor, in instances where mere
fatigue on the part of caretakers was involved. But we
as a society did not officially condone those deaths. Now
we are, meaning us as the body politic, through the decrees
of judges and the inaction of the executive. G-d save us all.
PING -- I gave you credit for finding this information.
And again, it's me! I see what you did - set up another
thread - terrific. It's really not important that I
get credit on anything I put into FR the main thing that
information gets out there.
Do you work with Jim Robinson?
Another spouse trying to commit murder in my opinion.

Rami cannot contract - he llost the right when the judge granted "dementia powers" meaning he is incapable and not allowed to hire an attorney.
MindBender - yu are right now, as you were before about Terri. I contacted professional PR people - $30 - $60,000 for 6 months, which his family cannot afford. His estate can afford it tho. Ideas? Even if he were free of Robin this minute, he does not have the right to contract or spend any of his hard earned $. At Christmas time he sobbed because Mr. Stubbs did not give him eating $ much less any $ to buy gifts for family and friends. Rami loves giving gifts!Fay Franklin
Look at the site. You will see all the motions - excessive litigation by the wife's lawfirm, Holland & Knight, and the conservator. We will get actual docs up shortly - boxes and boxes, so we will have to pick and choose.

If they kill itty bitty babies, why not Vietnam Vets with medals?
Ping - don't know about another Terri Schiavo -- but wife had him on 17 drugs he did not need to be on...
Ping -- Vietnam Vet in trouble ping
Allred as a starting point.
Any state agency that deals with elder abuse.
Get older Marines to picket her house, under supervision.
Good luck.
Thank you for the contact info!!
I was thinking perhaps his family could hire one?
What about the SwiftBoat Vets organization? If they got involved, the plight of this Vet would be big news.
Grandma in Michigan
This veteran certainly deserves it!
Do you know any Veterans who might be willing to help?
PING!!!!!!!!
The bottom line in all of these "Schiavo-like" tragedies is this: Beware of who one marries, for a bad choice could kill you prematurely!!!!! I don't think the American people can understand though: they will continue to make the same mistakes.
