Complaint to Ohio State Supreme Court, July 2010

'' '''The Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of Ohio''' claims they will keep the following Complaint '''confidential'''. I make no such claims. The following is the text of the complaint verbatim. I have corrected grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors. (Ain't computers great? At the time of writing this I was confined at Summit Behavioral Healthcare and was provided only a safe fat marker and limited paper.)''

Background:

I do not have the documentation here at SBH to give details, but approximately 4 years ago Hamilton County Sheriff Worley delivered a knee strike to my face. An aggravated assault of this magnitude represents an attempt on my life.

A 'Google' search for "Lindsly Vs Worley" will likely pull up my description of events at [Lindsly_Vs_Worley|www.cnub.org/Lindsly_Vs_Worley.ashx] along with docket links. Prosecutor Deters picked up representation on Worley, et al. He has no problem with lying on official documents or having others present false evidence in support of the defense.

7/9/10- A Norwood police officer forcefully cuffs me and places me in his cruiser. He had no probable cause, warrant, or other judicial document giving him the right to kidnap me to the Psychiatric Evaluation Unit at University Hospital. While there, nurse "David" gives me a pill which he said was Respirdol. It was not. As I was fading under heavy sedation, he and a UH security guard '2-pointed' me with leather cuffs onto a restraining cot. I woke up in the Hamilton County Justice Center with knots on my temple and a very sore jaw that had nearly been knocked out of socket. I was released downtown penniless and had to walk the five miles home dazed. By the way, it was not until 9-15 that a University Hospital cop writes me a ticket for an alleged assault on nurse David.

7/12/10- I called my sister Lori and explained some of the troubles I had been having recently including a false arrest by a Norwood officer on 6-19-10 for disorderly conduct. The officer had told me they had received calls saying I was "stopping traffic." I had done no such thing. Instead of writing me a ticket, he cuffed me and hauled me to HCJC where he and 4 other HC deputies severely beat me and may have killed me if not interrupted. The sergeant on duty admitted to shocking me with a stun gun. This was administered to the right side of the small of my back near my psyatic nerve. I still suffer pain from this. I was confined in the JC for 10 days. When I faced the judge finally, I plead 'no contest.' I just wanted to go home. Upon arriving home, I discovered that my apartment had been burglarized. I found out that my landlord and a police officer had been in my home when I wasn't present. I am missing $2500-$3500 in computer and music equipment. I spent all the money I had getting a computer system operational. Even though I am on disability, I run a sole proprietorship out my home trying to get back on my feet without gov't assistance. After explaining this to my sister, I asked her to bring me $20 so I could buy cigarettes. Instead of doing that, she called University's Mobile Crisis Team and slandered me. Some of her "interpretations" of our phone conversation are detailed in the "statement of belief" portion of MCT's application for emergency admission.

There was also some misunderstanding regarding a doorbell I had wired from my outdoor mailbox to my door. I had spent an entire day doing a professional electrician's job wiring that in. The landlord stopped by before I had finalized the work by neatly tacking the wire into place "invisibly." He asked me to take it down. I admit that I was angry since I had spent my own time and money on equipment to improve the premises. LL tells me he did not tell MCT that I was a danger to his other tenants, merely that I am loud sometimes. I have a steel plate and screws installed on my cheekbone and I admit to sometimes being irate at minor problems with little provocation. Occasionally the pain is nearly unbearable. MCT showed up outside my apartment door and repeatedly stepped into my apartment after I told them they were not welcome. This was not my first experience with their "kidnapping." They presented no warrant or judges order, yet forced their way into my home and placed me in cuffs. I had little choice other than to come along peacefully.

7/12/10-7/14/10- I was confined in Univ Hospital Psych Ward. I do not react positively to kidnapping and confinement. I also experience flaring pains to my cheekbone and screws installed under general anesthesia four years ago to partially repair the damage done by a knee strike.

I have been accused of having a violent history but I do not. The only time I can recall hitting another person (as an adult) was at UH psych ward. Once again I was illegally kidnapped to there. I was playing a solitaire game with regular playing cards. The game is similar to the tarot and talking out the plays is necessary. A nurse "Tim" approached me from behind with a needle full of tranquilizer. I saw the needle approach me from the corner of my eye and instantly reacted. I swung my fist around to my backside and tried to defend myself. Later, in court, Tim lied and said that I had been disruptive and required sedation. He said I assaulted him as the treatment team tried to force medication on me.

I do admit that I holler out in pain/anger sometimes, but I mean no harm to anyone. My sister Lori may verify that she knows me to be a kind, gentle and generous man.

My history is filled with altercations with the law, but most of this has been due to law officers looking up my record and seeing the glaring aggravated burglary that I committed when I was about 20 years old. I was "down on my luck", unemployed and I did not know where to go for help. I broke into my downstairs neighbor's apartment because I was hungry. Simple Simon Leis was judge at the time. He made sure that black mark went down on my record and it has chased me ever since. I did 3 1/2 years confinement over that charge, but I did manage to nearly complete a bachelor's degree during that time.

Pardon the rambling....but the "flight or fight" response is strong in me. While confined I pace a lot and curse the staff when they make mistakes. I preach an unusual mix of Judaism tempered by modern science. (apologies for the background).

Now to 7/16/2010- Judge Coes tried to deny my right to represent myself which is constitutionally guaranteed. Only two witnesses were presented by the prosecutor. Both lied and presented almost entirely hearsay evidence. Coes overruled an objection I made without giving me the opportunity to explain what my objection was. When it was my turn to explain my point of view, he rushed me and cut me off. He asked me to summarize my position in 30 seconds or less. He ignored the fact that I had demonstrated that one of the witnesses was a liar. The other witness talked so fast slinging slander and hearsay and lies. I was unable to show this when I cross-examined her. Coes cut me off repeatedly as I was laying ground work to ask a pointed question.

Coes demonstrated a severe lack of the mediation behavior required of any judge when weighing the arguments of the plaintiff and defense. Please take action against him and review his case file for similar abuse of power.
