"Mystery Retired Judge" Revealed Along With Altered Transcripts; With Olga Wilson Aug 16, 2025

Show notes

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Olga Wilson to the podcast. Olga was last on Season 5, Episode 274. Olga has been courageously exposing transcript falsification and corruption in the Butte County, Chico California family courts.

On our last podcast, Olga shared how records were altered to erase evidence and silence her. Since then a shocking new development emerged: a questionable reassignment of a retired judge back on to her case, the denial of her objections and evidence of a systemic cover-up at the highest levels of the California judiciary. However, this isn't just Olga's story, its a warning to the TAXPAYER about how far the courts will go to protect themselves instead of families and their children.

Federal Case Explained: Financial Extortion; With Amy Palacios Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Amy Palacios to the podcast. Amy was last on the podcast Season 3, Episodes 146, 165 and 179; Season 4, Episodes 134, 145 and 150; Season 5, Episodes 22, 70, 73, 83, 186, 191 and 281. The last time Amy was on we discussed, "Proving The Pattern At The Federal Level."

Amy has two ex husbands being represented by the same attorney, H. Jay White. This attorney also represented Amy at the very beginning of her case years ago. How can an attorney who has represented three people not be in conflict of interest??

Discussing her open Federal Lawsuit 5.25-CV-249-FL, Amy states that most federal lawsuits get dismissed in 30 days. Amy explained that this was the first time she has gone into the state court and actually be heard and turn in evidence, however, at the end of the trial they told her to come back in two months to get a verdict.

Amy read her complaint for Declaratory Judgement to vacate all orders in Cabarrus County, NC. Her opening statement is something everyone can learn from: "Today is my complaint for the record. I am invoking my Federal Protections. The United States Constitution, American Disabilities Act and the Violence Against Women Act. Today is my Declaratory Judgement complaint to vacate all Cabarrus County orders, to void the orders under 18-CVD-3436 and void all Child Support Orders under the 22-CVD and to return to the Mecklenburg County Order 08-CVD-25890 that was done in 2015....."

Forgery And Adoption Fraud; With Marianne Perz Aug 09, 2025

Show notes

Slam The Gavel welcomes Marianne Perz, from Canada on to the podcast. Marianne is a former national team athlete for ultramarathon running for Canada. She has been a mediator in civil procedure and in family matters for over 22 years.
Her daughter remains stolen from her due to forgery of my signatures on adoption papers that the Court and Government is aware of but is concealing.
When lawyer JD Coon crafted an Affidavit and forged Marianne's signature purporting she gave up her daughter to the crown wardship for adoption to her brother and his wife. He forged her signature and notarized this forgery which he served to CAS. He also crafted a forged document as a Plan of Care, all purporting that Marianne gave up her daughter. In the interim he played her by telling her he was preparing to defend and would get her daughter back in 4 days on the day of the motion hearing.
On the day of the motion hearing on June 17, 2013, JD Coon came down the court house hallway to Marianne before the start and said he reached an agreement for her to get her daughter back and told her to sign a lone signature page and to initial it. He refused to give her the two content pages as he said it was a huge rush and when she asked him what the agreement was for he told her it was for CAS closing the file and her daughter returning to her via her aunt and uncle where she would live. The CAS had a weak case so this made sense to Marianne.......

The Plan All Along: Legal And Financial Abuse; With William Sewell And Mike "Thunder" Phillips Aug 03, 2025

Show notes

Slam The Gavel welcomes back William Sewell from SC to the podcast. William was last on Season 5, Episode 269. William was accompanied by Mike "Thunder" Phillips, Investigative Journalist, who has also been documenting William's case.

Today, they discussed updates to William's case such as being extorted $60,950,00 in attorney fees to Attorney D. Gamache, paying his ex-wife's attorney fees, an unknown figure for the third party parasite, Guardian Ad Litem and $8,395.00 for reopening a case (not William's idea) on the 365 Day Rule. On top of that, his ex has legal and physical custody with full decision making and first right of refusal. All of this documented in a 35 page order by Judge M. Kimmons at the taxpayer's expense.

Essentially they are trying to force/demand William to sell his home and imputed his income by three times a figure he has never made. Sound familiar?

Kids For Cash Scandal Comes Full Circle in Luzerne County, PA; With David Thurston Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes David Thurston to the podcast. David is a determined father and whistleblower from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania and a SURVIVOR of the KIDS FOR CASH SCANDAL.

Now David has fought alone in Family Court since 2015 to protect his nonverbal, autistic daughter from abuze and systemic neglect, even after reporting SA by her mother's adult aunt in 2020.

Shockingly, the agency in charge, CYS refused to interview his daughter then closed the case as "unfounded." Soon after, the CYS director was arrested for endangering hundreds of children.

The family returned to court only because the mother wasn't following prior custody orders David wanted stronger protections; instead, when Judge Terra Toohill took over the case in 2023, she - despite long judicial and political ties to adoption interests and agencies involved IGNORED clear perjury against David, fabricated custody factors, accused him of SA without evidence and ordered his daughter to undergo unnecessary exams.

Today, David pays between $50-80.00 per hour for supervised visits but has not had custody in over 500 days and this all the result of judicial decisions steeped in conflict and what appears to be calculated retaliation. In June of 2025, the federal government validated David's claims. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that Luzerne County, PA VIOLATED DISABILITY LAWS by failing to properly interview his daughter, forcing Pennsylvania to REFORM how the system handles vulnerable children.

David Thurston's story demonstrates just how serious and systematically dangerous unchecked judicial power and institutional neglect can be and this writer is very honored to share his voice and his truth today.

When The Courts Rewrite Your Case: GOODBYE DUE PROCESS; With Phillip W. Simon Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Phillip W. Simon from San Diego, California back to the podcast. Simon was last on Season 5, Episodes 5, 17, 18 and 21. What started as a family law dispute completely exploded when the court ignored a signed Interspousal Grant Deed AND falsely claimed that Phillip had retired from the military. That LIE was used to seize VA-protected property and ignore Federal Statutes, such as 38 U.S.C. subsection 5301. This then created a domino-effect of fraud and legal abuse, forcing Phillip into Federal Court to defend rights the Constitution that are ALREADY guaranteed.

Phillip states that they didn't just deny justice, "they erased the facts, tampered with filings and protected insiders. To have your government pretend you're retired just to take what is yours? That's STOLEN VALOR by proxy and this puts every veteran at risk." Explaining how they had removed key facts, changed defendants from individual to official capacity and ignored actual claims under subsections 1983 and 1985, Phillip continues, "that's not just unethical, its a Due Process violation. They rewrote my case so they could dismiss it and protect fellow government actors."
