Looking for comments and opinions:
I was involved in a court case where a local Assistant District Attorney was a witness to the case. The ADA asked to make closing remarks to the defendant, became very emotional and verbally attacked and slandered the Defendants Attorney. A year later I filed a request for transcripts of this case on my own and received acknowledgment by the court that it was received this past July. Note that I stated specifically that I wanted the ADA’s closing statement and listed the exact words used. In addition, this was recorded the day it occurred in a journal that I kept. The court ignored my request and would not answer or return calls inquiring about the status for over six months. Only after an Attorney contact the court were the transcripts issued.
Upon receipt, I noticed that the ADA’s comments were altered to a single, benign sentence. This is in no way accurate and my journal entry supports this. I’ve notified the defendants Attorney, he was there and knows what occurred, but will not comment or act. Upon further review of the Transcript, I noticed that the certification statement (No 1.) is not dated and contains the “weasel words”, "to the best of my ability". After reviewing two additional transcripts (No. 2 & No. 3) from the same state and court type (common pleas) their certifications are different then mine, but identical to each other. Both of these contain the same certification wording, are dated and contain no “weasel words”. Additionally the court did not follow the formal billing procedure for my transcript and has yet to cash my check after at least 30 days.
Here are the Certification statements;
C E R T I F I C A T I O N (1)
I hereby certify that the proceedings and evidence are contained fully and accurately in the notes taken by me on the hearing of the above cause, and that this is a correct copy of the Original transcript of the same to the best of my ability.
Signed

C E R T I F I C A T E (2) I HEREBY CERTIFY that the proceedings and evidence are contained fully and accurately in the notes taken by me in the above cause and that this copy is a correct transcript of the same.

I’m trying very hard to request an audit of the transcript provided against the raw Court Reporters media. However, I’m fighting the system and having difficulty finding someone willing to do this. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
Oh, strike that. On re-reading it may be that the ATTORNEY’S tirade was striken.
Sounds like the FBI process...their ‘version’ of a discussion is treated as official.
So, yes, ALWAYS RECORD, if you feel the need to talk at all.
Sometimes hiring a local defense attorney is not the wisest decision unless they have a reputation for going after the local corrupt cops, prosecutors, and judges. In that case, they will think twice before trying ‘F’ you over.
My experience is that courts are political animals that are as corrupt as the day is long. And I believe things are about to get worse.
I was deposed once and transcriber was highly accurate. She even wrote where I said “Your client has his nose so far up your ass he can’t breathe!” Strange, after I said that the lawyer must have been very angry as he brought it up several times. Going through the back of the transcript where the words and locations were posted, I said “ass,” once where the other attorney said the word three times. Looking back, I enjoyed that deposition quite a bit.
> In reality, agreeing to a law enforcement official is almost always a bad idea unless you are the victim of a crime.
unless it is a he said she said, and you are the male...
That is very sound advice re. hiring a local attorney and especially if essentially all of their practice is solely before the local city, county and state courts.
It’s a rigged game where a defendent’s attorney will sell out his client to get a better deal in an unrelated case for another client.
Transcriptions are often inaccurate, sometimes abbreviated. I know they are suppose to be verbatim but they often are not. Been there reviewing deposition transcripts and dictated documents. Just a fact of life. I’m sure the lawyer knows this but won’t want to go out of his way. Most of them don’t.
All court proceedings are electronically recorded, for there to be a transcript made, or in this case, to correct a discrepency in the record. These recordings are retained for many years, and should be readily available. I think you should first, ask for a copy of the audio recording from the clerk. If they’re not available, ask why not. It is very likely the guy had the recordings, and transcript, altered. Such is the corruption in our courts these days.
But, I’d also file a written complaint with the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Criminal Section, whom may, or may not, have the FBI investigate. Write a detailed letter, to the DOJ, as listed above, and cc your local FBI office, the Court Clerk, and your local US Attorney, toss in the judge who presided, and of course, the perp in question. If nothing else, he will have some sleepless nights, as will anyone whom is connected to this fraud.
I think the court reporters also record the proceedings.
And it sits as ‘court reporter’ typing and recorded.’
Until someone wants a transcript and pays for it.
Then it is transcribed into the formal format.
There is actually a pretty big hidden conspiracy in American society. Big enough I think a few Freepers are members, which si why you are getting flippant remarks about something that is pretty friggen serious.
As best I can tell, CIA runs a massive network of surveillance people in the US. I assume they claim they are for foreign use, but need to run operations in the US, on their community for training. This likely goes back to before the 50’s, probably begun by a private sector predecessor of the CIA which is not in the history books.
As the years passed, surveillance people married non-surveillance people and brought them in, they had kids who were put in the network, and CIA would selectively import assets who were useful and loyal overseas, and bring them into the network. After decades, it is now likely over the 4-6% of the population Operation TIPS proposed turning into a Stasi-like surveillance force.
As it grew, it morphed into a full on intel op devoted to taking over US society for the CIA (or rather for who was above CIA), and these assets were directed into positions of authority where they could exert influence, while the network continued to run surveillance on their neighbors and community members for the operation.
We see it in politicians, who are obviously owned by something. Epstein was one of many honeypot operations it runs. But it is also local, in the community, from judges, to court clerks, to an influential political operative. It has agents all through the election machinery, as well as the courts, the FBI, and any organization which could have overturned the fraud. It even extends into street gangs and mobsters, and there are low level drug addicts who are criminals.
My guess is that Court Reporter is in the network, you are not, and you pissed someone off enough the network had it in for you.
Whoa!
historically, in many communities in the USA, this binding occurred via Freemasonry
A good point, but the flip side of that is if you don't use a local guy/gal, you risk getting 'home towned' by the judge.
“My guess is that Court Reporter is in the network,”
The “network” (I call them “the other side”) has their own favorite court reporters they like to use. Then they tell the reporters that they need the typed transcript the next day. Overnight means double or triple pay.
