Los Angeles, CA. Prominent former Attorney Richard I Fine, made a second 9-1-1 call from his cell in the Los Angeles County Central Men’s Jail to the Full Disclosure Network® raising alarming issues regarding the ethics and procedures of the U. S. Central District Court in California. Having spent the last four months in solitary confinement, Richard Fine has had nothing to do but document and describe the shocking tactics of what appears to be an insular Judicial buddy system that could only be compared to the “code of silence” deployed by street cops when one of their own is confronted with accusations of abuse.
In an exclusive thirteen minute video news blog Full Disclosure Network® has combined the actual court records, audio report via telephone from Richard Fine who is representing himself against the entire California Judicial system, from his jail cell.
With the help of cadre of dedicated volunteers acting as messengers, paralegals, secretarial staff and moral support base, Richard I Fine has used his total recall of the Federal Codes to dictate and draft dozens of court filings in several on going cases. He is determined to win his freedom from an indefinite jail sentence for civil contempt of court, and to win back his license to practice that was taken from him while fighting to reform the California Judicial System.
In the Video and in court documents Fine describes how the Federal Magistrate Judge Carla Woehrle delayed action, issued court orders that were never acted upon and wrote a Report and Recommendation to deny Fine’s Writ of Habeas Corpus (request for immediate release from jail) without having ever read the petition. And, in conclusion, Fine alleges that both Judges failed to disclose a serious conflict that should have precluded them from even hearing the case.
Attached are the documents mentioned in the video:

Mr fine is an amazing attorney and individual. As a diplomat, he has served the world court in the hague and been a critical assett to many global nations, and our own. Please send my best regards. We have several key associations in common.
It's clear to see that he is being held illegally and unethically. Yes, he is my personal attorney.

Sounds to me a lot like Germany. Guilty until proven innocent. Send them to the concentration camp. Another insight as to where this country is going and that you have to be corrupt to get to the higher ranges of government.

This story sickens me to no end. Just another bunch of power hungry judicial officers covering up for each other. Every one knows just how corrupt our judicial system is, and it's appalling that Mr. Fine is still in jail. I signed two petitions supporting the appointment of Mr. Richard I Fine for Supreme Court Justice. Here is what I said;
This is the greatest petition!! This position is perfect for a man as great as Mr. Fine. He has already proven he is a leader, and fully represents truth and justice for the people. Mr. Fine should be released immediately. He should be commended and rewarded for exposing the truth about corruption in our judicial system. But instead, he was chastised and silenced for his courageousness by yet another corrupt, unethical, bias, and power hungry judicial officer. Anyone allowing him to sit in jail for one more day, and from being released should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this blatant abuse of power to keep Mr. Fine silenced. I for one would love to see Mr. Fine as the Supreme Court Justice, to continue his efforts to clean up our judicial system. Particularly, the growing pandemic of corruption in the California Family Law courts. Judicial injustices are occurring at an alarming rate, endangering our children, who have been abused and or neglected by a parent, and who are begging for protection. Protective Parents attempting to use the legal channels to protect their children, are being chastised and blamed for protecting their children by corrupt commissioners, judges, therapists, attorneys, evaluators, etc. They are awarding sole custody to the abusive parent, or at the minimum, unmonitored visitations. These children are not being protected and the corruption needs to stop to ensure our children's safety. Mr. Fine could be the change our children desperately need!!

How does SBX211 play into this, if the judges have immunity, now, or is that "immunity",separate from the other immunity from being sued for making a bad decision? And, how can a judge, whom, we give power to, be of higher legal stature, than any other public servant, or the people, in which ALL power originates? And, how do they get the power of immunity, WE didn't give it to them, did we? And, since they can claim immunity, I can claim immunity, since they derive their power from me, and my peers. And, if they'd like we can have a vote right there in the court room, who should get immunity, the presumed innocent guy, or the judge? Inferring, if you did nothing wrong, why would you need immunity? And since the judge isn't on trial, the presumed innocent guy would have more of an immediate application for it.

I don't understand why the Judges being criminal defense attorneys suggests they have a personal interest in the outcome of the case??? Is fine suggesting that all of the Criminal convictions by Judges who recieved the extra pay are also tainted do to the fact that the District Attorney is with the County? What if a jury convicted the person. There is so much here. How can you justify such a short broadcast on this??? You mentioned Fine's 7 points or grounds in the "petition" yet you didn't list any of them. You should itemize them. Also, why is the Petition not available to read, only the responses to same? What good is it to give the Judges responses without giving the petition that made them respond? Also what is the timetable for the next action or appeals/motions by Fine? Your coverage is not very comprehensive. Is the next venue for Fine the United States Supreme Court? What about the Governer of CA? Couldn't he let Fine out while all this is sorted out? Your Report raises more questions that it answers. I can't believe that you got an Emmy. They must give those out to anybody. Your coverage of this is frankly pathetic. You could at least put a counter on the website counting the days of confinment. No wonder no real news aggencies are picking this up. It is too hard to believe and you aren't really helping with your ameture (at best) coverage. This whole thing doesn't make any sense and you don't bring any light to the matter. What about interviewing a legal corresp[ondant to go over some of this and explain it??? Lastly, how is it that Fine's Habeas Corpus motion gets rid of 1600 Judges, or at least the 400 or so here in L.A.??? Your coverage makes me wonder if this is part of an elaborate hoax.

The judicial establishment has many ways to silence and punish attorneys who attempt to tell the truth about corrupt judges. Richard Fine is one of those brave attorneys, and his punishment is imprisonment. He needs the support of all who cherish justice.

Unbelieveable that this goes on in Los Angeles in this day and age. I think the U.S. AG should investigate immediately and clean this mess up. The Cal AG was notified months ago and has chosen to do nothing. And he may run for Governor again? Also, if the people truly understood how the Cal. Courts operated and how the Cal. Constitution has been manipulated to protect the Cal. Judiciary they would demand correction. Get involved people!

The Mainstream media has NOT distorted the facts on this case. They have not bothered to even report it. Why are the Judges and the mainstream media so silent on this issue?
