Hutchins vs. The Cochran Firm Frauds, Round 2

Ssssistrunk

Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq., told his client, Sara Dozier, deceased, to lie to the court, and she did. That unethical legal advice might cost The Cochran Firm, which Rev. Hutchins is now suing.

Dozier was the niece of Kathryn Johnston, who Atlanta police killed in a home invasion on November 21, 2006. Dozier received invoices from Hutchins for his work as her community activist. Although he had no contract with Dozier for payment, Hutchins claims he was to be compensated at ten percent of her settlement. Dozier was asked by Probate Court whether there were any outstanding bills against Johnston's estate that should be paid out of the settlement amount she received from the City of Atlanta, and Dozier owed the Court the truth whether or not she agreed with the bill. Frauds against Sara Dozier are listed at number 12 and 13 in the article, "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm."

Sistrunk, who regularly defrauds Georgia courts, told his client to just ignore Hutchins' invoices and tell the court there were no outstanding bills against Johnston's estate. Hutchins sued Dozier for lying, and she then died partly from Legal Abuse Syndrome. Now Hutchins is suing The Cochran Firm frauds for telling Dozier to ignore his invoices. The court revived Rev. Hutchins' lawsuit against The Cochran Firm. This should be interesting. 

Don't take all the money, Rev. Hutchins. That gangster backstabber, Hezekiah Sistrunk, defrauded my family even worse. The Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm (CCGSS) represented in Georgia Superior Court that it was no such thing. The office that Sistrunk manages claimed before the court to be wholly owned and operated in the State of Georgia and to have no connection with the national office of The Cochran Firm or the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm, where my elderly mother and I contracted with the firm to represent us in the wrongful death of Larry Neal case. 

The Cochran Firm never lifted a finger in the wrongful death of Larry Neal case except to use U.S. Mail fraud to write the Neals about legal work that was never really being done. They simply lied throughout the statute of limitations, knowing that Julian Bolton, a Shelby County Commissioner, was The Cochran Firm's lead attorney in the Memphis office, and the Shelby County Commission owns and operates the jail where Larry Neal, a mentally, physically disabled heart patient, was kidnapped and killed.

Denying that CCGSS was an office of The Cochran Firm and denying any association with the Memphis office were deliberate frauds on the court, because Cochran Cherry Givens Smith and Sistrunk (CCGSS) was in fact registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State's office using the Memphis office's address. Furthermore, Georgia had no CCGSS registered within the state at all, so it could not be a law firm that was "wholly owned and operated in the State of Georgia" as the unethical attorneys claimed. Our righteous lawsuit was dismissed by the court based on obvious perjury when CCGSS claimed it was served our lawsuit wrongly and falsely claimed not to exist as an office of The Cochran Firm. 

It does not stop there. We sued the frauds in federal court, serving The Cochran Firm's home office in Dothan, Alabama (which was hard to do - the service agent had to literally sit in front of the office in the predawn hours and catch them going inside). We also named and served the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm and David McLaughlin, individually. In federal court, the frauds actually denied having an office of The Cochran Firm in Memphis, Tennessee. The Cochran Firm partners are blatant liars and frauds who think nothing of committing perjury in courts of law and are not censured for it, for some strange reason. Certainly, if they honored Johnnie Cochran's legacy of defending cases brought by African Americans against police, they would have been censured for committing perjury. 

The Cochran Firm's crimes against people of color rise to the level of RICO Act Racketeering, which is what I, and many others, plan to sue the firm about. Families who lost loved ones to police violence do not deserve to be victimized by their own lawyers, The Cochran Firm frauds act like CoIntelPro agents.

Ironically, The Cochran Firm that declared itself to be separate offices in 2006 claims now to be a single law firm with offices across the nation, which has always been its claim except for when it faced lawsuit by the Neal family following its malpractice and fraud. The Cochran Firm did fraud to save Memphis Shelby County Jail from the Neals' lawsuit related to the police kidnapping and jailhouse murder of Larry Neal. It claims now to be a single law firm with numerous offices in defense of a lawsuit by former Cochran Firm partner, Randy McMurray, which is happening now. See http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com/main.html Note how many times CCGSS disclaimed being The Cochran Firm in its Responses to Interrogatories:

Our federal court case, filed as plaintiffs using the diversity rule, was also STRANGE. The original judge, Willis B. Hunt,  recused himself immediately but actually came back to be named on the Order to Dismiss along with Judge Timothy Batten. The Order actually said that ANYTHING The Cochran Firm did to protect Shelby County Jail from the Neal's lawsuit was "immaterial." (This likely means that justice for black families seeking wrongful death damages after police violence is "immaterial" to federal court.)  I worked very hard for Troy Davis, recognizing that Georgia courts are prejudice against African Americans.

Despite two court cases, federal subpoenas and Freedom of Information Act requests to Memphis Shelby County Jail and Government and to the United States Department of Justice, my family is still deprived of knowing the circumstances of Larry Neal's secret incarceration and murder in Shelby County Jail. I suppose he may have been used for waterboarding training, which is reportedly how Gregory Stampley was killed in Stillwater Prison in Minnesota in 1994. 

Stampley was also a black, schizophrenic inmate like Larry was. As director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, I met the woman who reported Stampley's torture in Stillwater Prison, but his rescue was late arriving, and Stampley expired. Diana Sprouse reported that according to a Stillwater Prison inmate who called her to help Stampley, the man was lying in his cell on a board of wood. Several times a day, corrections officers would go into Stampley's cell with the water hoses, and Stampley could be heard clearly by other inmates screaming, gurgling, and begging for his life. Sprouse reported the abuse to prison officials and then to the media. She feels that it was partly because of her "interference" regarding Stampley that her own son, Mark Bowles, a veteran who suffers from epilepsy, was recently railroaded into prison. Sprouse was not called to testify at the trial regarding Stampley's wrongful death, and it is not clear if inmates who observed his abuse testified. During that time, the term "waterboarding" was not widely known, but Sprouse believes that is how Stampley died because of the description by the inmate who relayed Stampley's torture to her.

Inmates are reliable witnesses to prison and jail murders. For example, inmates gave details about the murder of Daniel Linsinbigler in Clay County Jail in Florida, and his death was ruled homicide. Corrections officers had initially said the teenager was "found unresponsive in his cell." Linsinbigler, who was arrested during a psychiatric crisis, was actually strangled with pepper spray, Tasered, then killed in a restraint chair, saying, "I can't breathe." Texas inmates explained why Sergio Robles, another mentally ill inmate, killed Officer Hamilton within hours of Robles' release from jail. Inmates divulged that Robles had begged for his psychotropic medications and had been refused during the 14 days while he was imprisoned in Harris County Jail. They reported that before Robles' release, corrections officers beat him severely and took him to the hospital, then released him in a psychiatric crisis and physical pain. He arrived home in crisis, and police were called. Robles shot the responding officer, Hamilton. Another example is Harold Hempstead. He is a Florida inmate who heard Darren Rainey screaming for help and begging for mercy for 45 minutes as he died in the scalding hot shower where he was dragged and locked in by murderous corrections officers. Hempstead contacted the Miami Herald after prison officials failed to demand accountability for the murder.

Larry Neal's murder is still a secret of the United States Department of Justice, which was in overview of Shelby County Jail after lawsuit by the USA, and it is kept secret by the Shelby County Government. As a result, I experience censorship, hacking of my work product, and in-person gangstalking from 2008, when my federal lawsuit was served, to this present date. I undergo intimidation and financial persecution, because I will not "let sleeping dogs lie." In uncovering why The Cochran Firm defrauded my family to prevent Larry's police kidnapping and murder from going to court in the wrongful death case, I discovered many other lawsuits against The Cochran Firm that the public never heard about. Whenever possible, I connect with the victimized black people and conduct interviews with them on Blogtalkradio, because consumer protection agencies and state bars will not warn black legal consumers about The Cochran Firm frauds.

I discovered and report that The Cochran Firm regularly defrauds African Americans seeking justice after police violence and wrongs by major corporations, and this has been happening since Johnnie Cochran's death. The Cochran Firm's frauds and lawsuits against the unethical attorneys are not reported by mainstream media companies. Numerous legal organizations continue to bestow awards on The Cochran Firm and its lawyers no matter how many times they are sued by their former partners, attorneys, one partnering law firm, and numerous former clients for racism, fraud, and malpractice. 

It all seems to be a huge conspiracy against African Americans by numerous parties. For example, Sistrunk, who instructed his client, Sara Dozier, to lie to Fulton Probate Court, is lead attorney at the "disappearing" Atlanta office of The Cochran firm and president of the national office of The Cochran Firm. He was recently awarded the prestigious Clarence Darrow Award. Darrow was one of the founding attorneys of the ACLU, and I am sure Darrow would be offended at his name being used to help defraud African Americans. Why else would Sistrunk be awarded such an honor? Sistrunk was also recently inducted into the Gate City Bar Hall of Fame. Awarding Sistrunk such honors creates a false impression in legal consumers' minds, especially since mainstream media companies withhold information about lawsuits against The Cochran Firm. Apparently, African Americans are being made fools of by more than just The Cochran Firm, which apparently saves government agencies and large corporations billions of dollars annually by defrauding its own clients.

I have proof of a much worse fraud against Kathryn Johnston's estate than inducing Sara Dozier to lie to Probate Court. The fraud is such an outrage that I do not plan to publish it unless gangsters endanger my family or myself. You will not even read about it in my book, "The Cochran Firm Fraud."

The news story about Hutchins' lawsuit against The Cochran Firm is in the article below. Excerpt:
"Hutchins sued both the estate and its lawyers, claiming that one of the lawyers for the estate, Hezekiah Sistrunk of Cochran, Cherry, Givens, Smith & Sistrunk ("the Cochran Firm") promised to "take care" of Hutchins after the case settled. Hutchins subsequently dropped his claims against the estate."

Following The Cochran Firm fraud trail leads to white liberals

Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/beware-of-treacherous-lawyers-cochran.html
This article lists all of the lawsuits against The Cochran Firm and allegations of fraud, malpractice, and racism that I know about presently. It was updated this week with no. 21 - Judy Nashville, who was stood up by her lawyer on the court date when The Cochran Firm was to represent her case involving her teenage son's wrongful death by St. Louis police (Nashville vs. St. Louis). Stanley Parker was killed in September 2002, and the court date was in 2006, after Johnnie Cochran's death. Her Cochran Firm lawyer was a no-show.

Repeat of paragraphs 1 and 2: Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq., told his client, Sara Dozier, deceased, to lie to the court, and she did. That unethical legal advice might cost The Cochran Firm, which Rev. Hutchins is now suing.

Dozier was the niece of Kathryn Johnston, who Atlanta police killed in a home invasion on November 21, 2006. Her niece, Dozier, received invoices from Hutchins for his work as her community activist. Although he had no contract with Dozier for payment, Hutchins claims he was to be compensated at ten percent of her settlement. Dozier was asked by Probate Court whether there were any outstanding bills against Johnston's estate that should be paid out of the settlement amount she received from the City of Atlanta, and Dozier owed the Court the truth, whether or not she agreed with the bill. Frauds against Sara Dozier are listed at number 12 and 13 in the article, "Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm."

The Cochran Firm boasts that it has been mentioned in the below law journals and given awards by the following concerns that help the frauds keep its false image of being an ethical law firm while it continues to defraud African Americans from coast to coast and pervert justice in courtrooms throughout the USA. NONE of the below enterprises will report the Cochran Firm's many frauds against its own former lawyers and clients. If "white liberals" and lapdog blacks did that, the public would be warned, and the CoIntelPro game would be over. The Cochran Firm would lose its ability to save police departments and major corporations from paying righteous damages to settle lawsuits by people of color.
