What happened to me isn’t just about one corrupt judge, or a bad investigator, a nonprofit committing insurance fraud and evading taxes, an insurance company colluding with said nonprofit, a corrupt attorney, shoddy police work; this is a county-wide stonewall, where multiple institutions—legal, […]

Why doesn’t she just leave?  She would if she could.  Leaving isn’t a single decision — it’s a hundred impossible ones stacked on top of each other.

I have a paper trail long enough to wrap around the earth.  This is my story of small town corruption, the systems in place that are meant to protect my rights that completely failed me, a greedy, fraudulent […]
