All that appears in the record is some obscure stamp that says "Mary Sykes, age 90, race W, sex F and "writ served."
The server is supposed to do an affidavit, declaration, verification or certification of service that is worded akin to this: On X date at X time, Mary Sykes presented ID (or I called her name and she responded) appeared before me AND you state age, sex, "race" and I served her with a copy of the attached summons, petition, and notice of rights" and sign it.
What is in the file is clearly inadequate. There IS a printout with the correct wording, but typed upon it is "window service" and "reason not served". It is not signed at all. The only thing we have is a stamp and a stamp is not verification, certification or an affidavit or declaration saying who when and what was served. This was a window service attempted upon Mary, and it would be highly scrutinized.
It is further fishy when you go to Deputy 1065 he responds "I can't talk about service except to a plaintiff"! Court records are NOT secret. An open and honest court is essential to the democratic process and an open and free society.
Again, even assuming for the sake of argument Mary did get her papers, there were still numerous continuances between the date stated in the "summons for Sept 21, 2012" and the actual adjudication which occurred on Dec. 7, 2009. There were 2 dates in October, 2 dates in November and then December 7, 2009. In FED court they make the PARTIES sign each order or the judge orders the attorneys to serve with a certificate of service any continuances upon a date any party is not there.
They "get it" on the 14th floor, but the 18th floor is all over the place on summons, petition, notice of rights, making sure all interested parties get a copy of every order, making sure notice to the ward and next of kin is served in writing with a certificate of service 14 days in advance of hearing.
What a mess. And Adam Stern and Cynthia Farenga go to KDD's hearing and blame Ken and Gloria for "work" that added to "their work." What kind of an excuse is that? Mary appeared, told people she wanted to fight this, told the court she wanted an attorney and nothing happens. Gloria has a POA which is ignored. The case then goes up in flames, and AS and CF blame everyone except where the blame belongs which is CT and Harvey Waller.
What Ken and I are fighting for is justice. What the miscreants are fighting for is a cover up.
See letter below. CF is brilliant at asking the ARDC to cover up and they do it.
Oh, and if you want to know about Sheriff Dart's reputation in all of this, see below.
Again, I publish the truth and statements and back up of what REALLY goes on at the Daley center. Not to create "more work" that takes away from anyone's "work" but so people can see this is not the way to go. It puts cases in flames, and the public and the families go nuts publishing all over the internet. What does the ARDC want Ken and I to say, bad service is good? The sky is green the Chicago River purple?
