NH's JUDGE LUCINDA SADLER, ANOTHER NH JUDGE GONE ROGUE

Domestic Violence is a crime that the NH Family Courts are now openly supporting on record.  Judges Pamela Albee and Lucinda Sadler may truly have something to prove in an "All Boys School", but clearly have taken it too far to do so. To even have one NH Judge supporting parents arrested for Domestic Violence, is one to many. Cleveland Ohio is evidence of that.  Ariel Castro, age 52, was one of the suspects identified in the Cleveland Ohio kidnapping of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight.  He was arrested for Domestic Violence in 1993, but a grand jury dropped the charges and he pleads guilty to  disorderly conduct.  The results of these actions became too high a price to pay for not one, not two, but for 3 young girls.

Clearly there is a big difference between Ohio and New Hampshire.  Their Judicial System did not physically place these teens in Castro's hands and then leave them there after the fact the violence has been done.  Judge Lucinder Sadler has been scrutinized and rightfully so, for wrongful rulings in multiple child custody cases. As they say, if it walks and talks like one, then it clearly must be one.   Judge Sadler handed custody of  Jamie Doherty's son to his father, based only on the one clarification she stated in court, "He said...she said...somebody get me some evidence." 

Well, Judge Sadler wants evidence?  She got evidence!  Just a little over a month ago the father and his girlfriend went before the courts.  They both were charged with Domestic Violence, both Court ordered into anger management classes, and each fined $500.  Well clearly the child support that Judge Sadler ordered Ms. Doherty to pay, would not be going to the child's needs, if paid to the father.  On May 10, 2013, Judge Sadler held another hearing on this case.  The father and his girlfriend were now unsurprisingly a no show, but his attorney shows up now with his mother instead!  She informs Judge Sadler, that her client was not given sufficient notice for this hearing to inform his employer.  However, a 3 weeks notice is clearly sufficient time for any responsible attorney to properly inform the courts of any necessary changes required by her client. 

When Ms. Doherty, who is Pro Se, requested to have her mother sit with her during this hearing, Judge Sadler denied her request. When Ms. Doherty requested a continuance because of the fathers absence, her request was denied without findings of facts or ruling of law. When Ms. Doherty insisted and demanded a continuance once again, Judge Sadler then denied Ms. Doherty's request, stating they can do a conference call with the father, who was now presently at work for his employer.  Who now supposedly was not permitting the father's absence in the first place.  But would now supposedly permit his employee, to handle the situation by phone from work?  There was no conference call.  Well, once again stupidity clearly only is, as stupidity clearly does and gets!  It still remains to be seen what Judge Sadler will do with Ms. Doherty's other custody case within her hands.  

 If NH doctors and hospitals ever began to practice their field in medicine, the same as NH Judges and the majority of NH Lawyers practice their field in law, the malpractice suits alone would permanently be shutting doors to any medical treatment or needs throughout the state.  The irony of this case is that once upon a time, Judge Sadler just simply gave custody of Ms. Doherty's eldest child, to the child's father, Elwood McLlarky, just simply based on hearsay alone, and without even speaking to Ms. Doherty to hear her side.  When Ms. Doherty supported her argument in court with his police records, Judge Sadler immediately overturned her ruling and gave custody back to Ms. Doherty.

 To acknowledge ones mistake and attempt to correct them is all anyone can ask of one.  However, Mr. McLlarky then decided to move up to the Conway NH region.  He then premeditatedly kidnapped  his daughter, simply enrolled her in school, then filed for custody and won.  Unlike Judge Sadler at the time, Conway NH's Judge Albee was not against his criminal record and his multiple Domestic Violence records, past, present, or future.  Judge Albee referred to the multiple Domestic Violence incidents as "Ups And Downs" that "Benefited Emily and provided stability in her life."  Oh, I kid you not. This was quoted directly from Judge Albee's rulings.

When Ms. Doherty went public 2 months ago with her custody case, only then did Judge Albee quickly make the quick decision to run for the NH hills.  She quickly closed the case, once again, stating non existing evidence, that was never documented in the 6 years of this case, as findings of facts or ruling of laws, leaving the child permanently in the father's Domestic Violence custody, never to see her mother again.  Unlike Judge Albee, Judge Sadler still can choose to correct her mistakes, as she has proven to do so in the past, to do right by these children.  Will she do so still remains to be seen.

Update: Two separate cases, two different children, two separate fathers, but the same outcome.  Like Judge Albee, Judge Sadler strongly supports her views on Domestic Violence, but in the silent way, and will do so in NH Court records no less.  Her ruling rattled on about Ms. Doherty and her "legal issues" (with Judge Albee) and once again, allot of, "he said..", and "she said...", but she completely ignores one major piece of evidence. 

She now avoids mentioning anything about the father's current and latest arrest.  She fails to mention the results from the court hearing on it just held within the previous month.  This was one hearing he showed up for while being absent and excused by Judge Sadler, from multiple hearings concerning his son.  She fails to mention one word about the father's neglectful absence from multiple court hearings.   She purposely fails to mention him being charged along with his girlfriend for Domestic Violence.  Not one word of concern mentioned for the child's safety, whom she placed in the father's custody, based only on his hearsay alone.  Not one word of concern about him and his girlfriend's current court order into anger management classes, or being fined $500 each!  These are the people whom she just simply placed custody of a young boy with, because of her clarification she stated in court, "He said... she said...will somebody get me some evidence!"  When she finally gets her evidence, she ignores it completely.

When Ms. Doherty informed Judge Sadler of the father's latest arrest for Domestic Violence, his attorney just simply asked Judge Sadler, "what does that have to do with this case?"  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Who truly needs a Psychological Evaluation and Parenting assessment done now?  Well NH, do you really think Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight would agree right now, with NH's Justices and lawyers, placing children in the custody of Domestic Violence?  NH Justices will only just say, hush little children and don't you cry!

NEED I SAY MORE?

APPARENTLY YES!
