Steve Shine Wife's Demands

Charles Pratt recused himself when Laura Shine attorney, Michael Loomis requested a special judge, according to the petition filed with the Allen County Clerk's Office. Mrs. Shine petition voiced some concerns about conflict of interest within the Allen County pointing to the fact that the Allen County Sheriff Office came out to her home to oust her from her home (see below). The Allen County Sheriff protects the judges of the Circuit and Superior Court including staff members. I thought they were to protect the citizens no wonder there were so many knuckle heads running around trying to intimidate folks. Sheriff Ken Fries I suggest youput them in a car to patrol the streets, they are not protecting anyone. Some of these officers can barely move but are carrying guns. Now, if a criminal was to enter the building do you think they would be able to run them down, before they got to the judges' chamber? I don't think so. I know you got this big thing going right now to prevent folks from upsetting the high and mighty judges who sit on the bench for a few hours a day. And you call that beefed up security, when it gives more privileges to the folks who work in the courthouse.

Back to the petition of Laura Shine (and the court )the reason I combine the two they are almost inseparable. The petition claims, " The Allen County Sheriff Department also involved itself in the service of a protective order secured by Respondent on November 28, 2006 against petitioner that were outside the purview of the Sheriff's role in the service of a protective order and reflected the influence of respondent." Hmmm, the officers are not attorney, it would it seems to being telling the court.

The petition continues, " Respondent has made a number of false public comments about the incidents of November 9, 2006 and about his marriage and family." Suggesting that these false public comments have been in print and in the electronic media. The petition goes on to suggest that the petitioner believes that the respondent's political reach may unduly prejudice the treatment and outcome of her case..citing one example of this that one Allen County Judge was summoned by respondent to the marital residence on or about November 12, 2006 only three days after the incident being investigated by the Indiana State Police on November 9, 2006 in an effect to by respondent to intimidate petitioner.

More telling about this woman's character is found in her Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. In this petition, the petitioner request the court to determine the appropriate arrangements for custody and visitation of the minor children..
The petitioner request the court issue an order making equitable distribution of the property between the parties. And that the court award the petitioner reasonable attorney fees and costs of this action. Mrs. Shine it appears seem to be simply asking the court to follow the guidelines in granting a divorce in this matter.

Let me do my disclaimer here, I have no interest in the outcome of this matter, I am only blogging about an issue that may impact the African-American community.
