Speak Up Guest - Jeanie Melton Guardian Ad litem from Hell & Judge Folino

What is happening in the Beaver and County PA Court System? Can Justice be found for the Victims of the Justice System? How can the PA Bar endorse This Judge? Voters beware! Can anyone help Jeanie?

I spoke with Jeanie Melton in a per-interview for a few hours. Her story was  convincing and compelling.
 The Center for Redress of Grievances LLC asked  Ms Melton for documentation to collaborate her story before They could move forward with her Story on speak up TV.
 I became more and more amazed after reading  some of the the materials along with her testimony how one individual can be treated so wrongfully by a system that is supposed to provide Justice.

Rape is a crime of violence and in a sense  that is what appears to have happened to Jeanie by some well connected lawyers and a Justice System which seems to have no accountability and armed with a cruel sense of  pernicious arrogance.
 To think that after depriving Jeanie of her civil rights and Due process under equal protection, the courts then forced her under the penalty of contempt to sign away her rights and handed them over to a Guardian Ad Litem who was not even an attorney which is the law In the state of PA.

The illegally court appointed  guardian then over time robs her of homestead and dignity. The Guardian admits in a court hearing that she is not an Attorney and is eventually removed years AFTER all the damage is done. The court agreed that  errors had been made after Ms. Melton made a successful appellate court appeal on the basis that the guardian was wrongfully appointed in that she was NOT an attorney.

To add insult to injury , instead of restoring Jeanie to her Homestead and making her whole for the wrongs she suffered,
The "guardian" then  bills Jeanie for 50k$ + for services rendered with the courts approval?

WOW! This is a must see interview. Watch her Interview Here on Speak Up TV


Jeanie Melton was pursued by law enforcement authorities with criminal charges issued on four separate occasions over a two year period.  Jeanie believes the Malicious Prosecution results from a plan by her husband at the time to use the criminal proceedings to seize all of the marital property.  The Husband that initiated the divorce proceedings is an attorney with professional affiliations in both Allegheny County and Beaver County Pennsylvania.

There were NO children in the marriage eliminating custody proceedings that could have been used to corrupt and interfere with the equitable distribution proceedings.

Jeanie believes that probable cause exists for the federal authorities to investigate egregious federal civil and criminal violations by the parties involved in the Pennsylvania criminal and divorce proceedings.  Jeanie is asking for everyone to review the actual evidence in these proceedings to identify the violations that can be pursued to prevent these atrocities from being repeated within other Pennsylvania Court proceedings. 

  The expectations were her attorneys were supposed to apply the law to protect her interests and reach an equitable distribution of the marital assets.  That law enforcement was supposed to investigate real crimes with the people providing false information to law enforcement and the courts, investigated and prosecuted for these violations.  The description of the “incidents of abuse” appear to contradict her understanding of legal representation, law enforcement and the duties of the Judicial branch of the government to protect the rights of the people from abuses of power.

Incidents of Abuse

  1. Judge Folino issues a Court Order that instructs the attorney that is providing legal representation for Jean Melton to “Take steps to get a Guardian Ad-litem to represent the interests of Jean Melton.

  2. There is NO legal justification for an “impartial” Judge to direct an attorney to get a “Guardian Ad-litem” assigned to their client.  There is NO medical evidence to suggest the client needs a Guardian assigned.  The attorney did NOT complain about their client's behavior to the authorities to provide any indication that Jean Melton was a problem client.  The Judge did NOT provide any evidence the attorney providing legal representation for Jean Melton was inadequate or not performing their job.  What possible rationale could there be for the Judge to interfere and destroy the sanctity of the attorney-client relationship?  How can the authorities responsible for Judicial conduct allow a judge to dictate the legal representation that a litigant is allowed to receive in their court?  How can the local, county, state and national bar associations allow these atrocities to place to a bar member? 
  3. In violation of Pennsylvania law (and the professional rules of conduct) the attorney for Jean Melton signs a consent order to have a guardian Ad-litem appointed to Jean Melton to negotiate the divorce settlement. 
  4. The court orders a litigant with both acute and chronic health problem to move from their marital residence to purchase a home in a different county.  This is a court directive to force the litigant from their home to live in another county when they are NOT employed and engaged in divorce proceedings.  The litigant was the only person living in the marital residence when the court forced the removal of the litigant from their marital residency.  The marital residency remained vacant for months after the litigant with NO employment was forced to purchase an home in another county when they were NOT employed and experiencing health problems. The copy of the court orders and proceedings from the forced removal from the marital residency are found in Exhibit 3.  Why an impartial court that is solely concerned with the equitable distribution of marital assets would force a litigant from their home remains an unknown.  The legal justification for exerting this power remains an unknown to the litigant. How the Mortgage for an unemployed person that is experiencing health problems got approved remains an unknown.  Why the Guardian Ad litem received over 10,000 dollars in the closing on the new home in another county remains an unknown.  Where are the disciplinary authorities?  Where are the law enforcement authorities?  How many of these financial and legal professionals with an ethical duty to report these incidents to the authorities submitted complaints/incident reports?  Could the legal experts involved in these transactions ignoring their responsibility to comply with the Professional Rules of Conduct create a culture that results in a financial crisis?
  5. Notification to Allegheny County and Beaver County Courts.
  6. The appointment of a Guardian Ad-litem that is NOT approved by Orphans Court.
  7. The appointment of a Guardian Ad-litem that is NOT an attorney in violation of Pennsylvania law. 
  8. The Judicial Authorities refusing to remove the illegal Guardian Ad-litem that was appointed to Jeanie Melton.
  9. The Beaver County District Attorney's Office pursuing Criminal Charges against Jeanie Melton without a valid Affidavit of Probable Cause on the record.
  10. The Beaver County District Attorney spending hundreds of hours investigating and prosecuting Jeanie Melton, while there is NO evidence of the false information presented to law enforcement authorities and the court was ever investigated. 
  11. Requiring Jeanie Melton to spend the time and resources to submit an Appeal on the Court Order to appoint the guardian that is obviously in violation of the law.  When the Superior Court rules the guardian ad-litem should have NEVER been appointed the trial court responds by ignoring the Appellate court ruling.  The trial court spends its time and resources obtaining compensation for the illegally appointed guardian ad-litem. 
  12. Judge Ronald W. Folino  who is now running for retention election Nov 5 1013. 
    ( previously ran for Superior Court in Pa about 2008/2009 but lost)
    was aware that the Guardian ad litem wasn't an attorney as required by Pa Law and allowed her to "negotiate" for another person as only attorneys are allowed to do  (guardian ad litem deposition 2-12-99) according to our resources.

    Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania is located in Allegheny where guardian ad litem took place
    Beaver County (where criminal proceedings happened) is within 20 miles of Pittsburgh Pa
