The two young children of a Loveland man accused of killing a process server testified that their father said he would “get them out of here” minutes before he stabbed his daughter twice and strangled both children.

James Whitler’s son, 11, and daughter, 13, whose names Loveland Connection is withholding, avoided making eye contact with their father Monday as they gave their accounts of what happened the day process server Stephen Allen was beaten to death.
Whitler is accused of fatally beating Allen with a baseball bat May 28, 2008, after Allen and Lisa Whitler served Whitler with divorce papers and a restraining order.
Whitler allegedly then turned on his two children.
Both children said their father had “planted in their mind” that their mother was a terrible person who was ruining their family...

Lawmaker aims to give greater protections to process servers
Cronkite News Service - MICHELLE PRICE - January 29, 2009
PHOENIX — Walking away from a house where he'd served court documents informing a woman that her assets were being seized, Will Ballew heard the garage door open.
"And I thought to myself, `This isn't gonna be good,"' he said.
The woman's husband ran out with a broom and jabbed Ballew in the back, leaving him unharmed but reminding him once again that process servers often deal with angry people.
Ballew, a former correctional officer who runs Lone Star Process Service in Glendale, said he's had guns pulled on him several times, once by a man who going to lose $1,200.
"If you're gonna kill me, just don't make it over 1,200 bucks," Ballew told him. "I'd hate to have my tombstone say `I died for $1,200 dollars."'
Whether it's divorce, bankruptcy or criminal charges, nobody likes to be served with court papers, and a state lawmaker wants to give process servers a little more protection...

Man says he was severely beaten by a Denver process server
Denver Post - Carlos Illescas
CENTENNIAL — A civil trial gets underway today in Arapahoe County District Court in which a man says he was severely beaten by a Denver process server who was not charged in the assault.
Ken Bernstein is suing the Denver process-server company, Checkmate Inc., for hiring Anthony Davis, a convicted felon.
According to the lawsuit, on Sept. 30, 2005, Davis was serving Bernstein with a civil subpoena and after serving it, Davis, now 39, refused to leave.
Bernstein then tried to call police, the lawsuit said, when Davis punched him in the side of his head. Bernstein's 8 year-old son was at the home and tried to revive his father. Bernstein suffered permanent brain damage, the lawsuit says.
Criminal charges were not filed. Bernstein's attorney, Chad Hemmat, said no charges were filed because prosecutors did not have enough evidence.
But Checkmate attorney Kathy Chaney said the district attorney's office decided Davis acted in self-defense. She said Bernstein came out of his house like a "raving madman reeking of alcohol," was aggressive and yelled racial epithets at Davis...
