Would you please read my story and help me to correct this misjustice and wrong doing.

Please find attached my written account of this story numbered 1 - 16. Please remember as you read my story that I can prove to be true beyond any doubt all that I say here. Also, please pay careful attention in this letter to #7 below. If this isn’t serious wrongdoing by state judges, nothing is.

My story is this:

  1. As a state employee and mandated reporter, I reported abuse and neglect of the mentally retarded persons at the Faribault Regional Center, Faribault, MN. As a mandated reporter, I was required by law to report what I reported. (#1 - 3)
  2. As a result of my report of abuse and neglect, Faribault Regional Center retaliated against me in every way, including firing me. (#4 - 10)
  3. To regain my job and losses, I filed a lawsuit. (#7 - 11)
  4. It took an entire five years for my case to get to trial because the State and the appellate courts tied up my case in a bogus appeal. I had to pay for a costly (in money and time "justice delayed is justice denied") three year appeal that had no relevance to my case - an appeal that did not use the facts of my case and did not decide any issues or matters relevant to my case or needed in my case. And all this time, all I wanted was to get back to my job. This is bad, but nothing compared to what they did to me next. (#12)
  5. In December 1994, the jury ruled in my favor. The State then appealed to the Minnesota Court of Appeals. (#13)
  6. On October 22, 1996, the Minnesota Court of Appeals released their unpublished opinion regarding my appeal. I received an unfavorable ruling on all the issues that were before this court. This meant that I had lost everything, including my job and pension, and that I was in great financial debt (about $250,000). (#14)
  7. Following this opinion or ruling, I discovered that this court panel (Judge Randolph Peterson, Judge Marianne Short, and Judge R. A. Randall) had defrauded me. They had swindled me. I discovered that this court panel had maliciously committed legal crimes against me by doing these things to me:
A. Repeatedly, they illegally did not use the laws in my ruling in these ways: 1. They actually lied many times about the laws! These judges said the laws said what they did not say! Repeatedly, they incorrectly quoted (word for word and the direct opposite of what the laws really stated) the laws and then used these deliberate misquotes of the laws to give me an unfavorable ruling.

2. In other instances, these judges, in order to give me an unfavorable ruling, repeatedly did not use the required laws and court rules in making their decisions in my case. They just ignored the applicable laws that were by law the laws to be used in deciding my case and made the decisions in my case based on no law!

3. In other instances and in order to give me an adverse ruling, instead of using the laws that were by law the laws to be used, these judges repeatedly used the incorrect or wrong laws in making their decisions in my case!
Don’t be confused by this tactic used by these judges with the tactics they used in #2 above. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 are all different tactics, but all three of these fraudulent tactics amount to the same thing - they didn’t use the law in deciding my case.

  B. In my ruling, this appellate court panel repeatedly stated untruths concerning the trial record, and then they used these untruths about the trial record to give me an adverse ruling. This is significant because when this court panel horribly misrepresented the trial record of my case by stating that information and documents were in the trial record when they were not and that information and documents were not in the trial record when they were, they can virtually make my case anything they want it to be and, consequently, give me an adverse ruling and this is exactly what they did. What they have done here (A1, 2, 3, and B) is a serious violation of state and federal laws. By law, the Minnesota Court of Appeals in making decisions must use the laws as written by the Minnesota State Legislature and, by law, they must use the common law as written by the Minnesota Supreme Court. In my decision, not only did these judges not use the laws that they were required by law to use, they lied about the laws! They also did not use the true facts of my case that they were required by law to use!

If they had used these laws and true facts of my case, as they were required by law to do, they could not have given me an unfavorable ruling.

By doing this to me, these judges have illegally stolen from me my constitutional rights of due process and equal protection under the law. They have illegally stolen from me my job, pension, career, back wages, reputation and have caused me great financial debt and loss.

These acts by these judges have brought immeasurable pain, suffering, and loss to me and my family. This has been a cruel hoax. I believed that judges had to follow the law. I have never heard of this happening to anyone else.

I had spent seven years in litigation before I discovered that these judges were not even going to use the law in deciding my case! Litigation is very costly in terms of pain and suffering and expense.

Nobody, certainly I, would go through all this litigation with the pain and suffering and expense if they had any idea at the outset that the courts weren’t even going to use the law in deciding their case. They would have to be crazy. If the law isn’t used, the little person has no chance of winning against those with power or resources. (#14)
  1. By letter, I reported this wrongdoing by these judges to the Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards, Chief Justice A.M. Keith and Chief Justice Kathleen Blatz and asked for their help. I also provided them all with irrefutable proof (documents, written legal analysis, etc.) of this wrongdoing. This irrefutable evidence is blatantly obvious and there is a mountain of irrefutable evidence. By letter, they all told me, in effect, that they were not going to do anything. (#15 & 16)
What I want is simply equal protection under the law. I want the Court of Appeals to use the law of my case and the facts of my case in deciding my appeal. What I want is just my job and lost earnings and benefits. I have never wanted anything more than my job and the record very clearly shows this. I want them to stop this mistreatment of me so that I can try and put my life back together. It has been very tough on the health of me and my family. This has been ongoing now for almost 10 years.

Thank you for helping me.

Please let me know whatever further information you may need.

Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely

Sharon Bauer
