Ozment found in Wyoming

Pardoned killer tries to "run over" investigators

Convicted killer Joseph Ozment was discovered at a motel in Laramie, Wyoming Sunday and was served a summons to appear back in a Mississippi court on Friday.

According to District Attorney John Champion, Ozment attempted to avoid process servers and nearly ran over them in his girlfriend's Mercedes Benz.

"He attempted to run over the two Attorney General's investigators as they attempted to serve him," Champion said.

Champion said Ozment later turned up on foot and denied he had been in the car when it swerved at the process servers.

Any potential charges stemming from endangerment of sworn officers is being put on hold however, in order that Ozment appear in Jackson this Friday without further delay at a hearing convened by Circuit Judge Tomie Green.

Ozment must also stay in daily contact with authorities on his whereabouts, according to a court order issued by Green.

Lindsay Lohan Served Again

laist.com - January 17, 2012

Lindsay Lohan continues to behave and meet the terms of her probation stemming from her DUI and necklace theft, but during a probation progress meeting this morning, Lohan faced yet another challenge. The 25-year-old starlet got served by a process server hired by a delusional man who claims Lohan might be a prostitute.

TMZ obtained a copy of the suit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, which is posted online, and describes it as "essentially 12 pages of incomplete, incoherent gibberish" filed by Thomas A. Green, a man who claims to be a former U.S. Marine and to have played a role in the killing of Osama bin Laden.

State claims lawsuit against Cline should be dismissed

BETH VELLIQUETTE - The Herald-Sun - January 12, 2012

DURHAM – A lawsuit filed against Tracey Cline by a man she once prosecuted should be dismissed because the lawsuit is too long, repetitive and includes a large number of implicit assumptions and false premises, according to a motion to strike filed Wednesday in Durham County Civil Superior Court.

The lawsuit filed in September 2011 by Frankie Delano Washington and Frankie Delano Washington, Jr., complained that Cline, Durham police investigators and supervisors, the Durham city manager, the City of Durham and the State of North Carolina, framed him for a 2002 home invasion. Washington was convicted of the violent home invasion in 2007, but the N.C. Court of Appeals overturned the conviction, saying authorities had violated his right to a speedy trial and faulting prosecutors for failure to conduct timely DNA testing on evidence they collected.

NY judge: Sloppy service has legal consequences

NEW YORK, Jan 12 (Reuters) – A process server working for a once-prolific foreclosure law firm in upstate New York broke the law by failing to keep any record of papers served in a 2008 foreclosure case, a Long Island judge has ruled, giving defense attorneys a new angle to explore in foreclosure cases as they seek to buy time for their financially beleaguered clients to modify or refinance their mortgages.

Gary Cardi, a former police officer contracted by A&J Process Service — which has offices on the same floor in the same building as the foreclosure firm Steven J. Baum PC — admitted in Nassau County court last October that he didn’t have any record of serving foreclosure papers on Soledad Murillo in 2008. In fact, he told state Supreme Court Justice F. Dana Winslow during an October hearing, he hasn’t kept records of any of the “thousands” of cases he served over the last six years.
