The Unprofessional and Inappropriate Failure

of the Department of Justice by Edna Jane

Favreau

As a person who believes in equal justice for all as meant

in the Pledge of Allegiance, and who believes that our
government must be honest and fair, I was too naïve and
inexperienced to stand alone in court after my attorney
abandoned me.

I was harmed unnecessarily by the judiciary. The judge

never should have allowed the attorney to abandon me
without a proper hearing. He ignored the fraud on the court
perpetrated by my former husband’s Rambo-lawyer. He was too
inflexible and too ignorant of the law to give disabled
victims any kind of ‘reasonable accommodations’ or
‘modifications,’ as stated in the Americans with
Disabilities Act.

I keep seeing how many experts on international

humanitarian interventions are doing so many things to
help foreign women of other nations while leaving American
women bullied, harassed, and in need of due process, but
none come to help them. For example, Susan Elizabeth
Rice, permanent United States Representative to the United
Nation, spends time helping foreign women in need, those in
whom she has taken a close interest. If only someone would
1
take a closer interest in America’s domestic violence
victims, and also make sure there is actually real help for
the disabled victims in the U.S. court system.

All too often impaired victims of the domestic violence

crimes find that people attending domestic violence help
lines do not take time to return calls or find real help
for us. And people at the Department of Justice are
unfriendly, or they just answer us with nice form letters,
thus proving they have not even read our complaints. They
tell us they cannot help with individual cases, and they
say it is doubtful whether they can do anything for us at
all.

I have kept records of my experience with all this, and, in

Florida, I have watched Florence Paton struggle for help
with all sorts of authorities to no avail. The people at
the governor’s office treated her like she was insane
because she actually showed up to ask for justice some time
after he said he would look into her case. Yes female
victims of injustice must really be crazy to expect justice
from the head man!

It is downright unprofessional and inappropriate for the

Department of Justice to fail to look at what the problems
are, to ignore the trees therefore not know what is
happening in the forest. Not only do they ignore violation
of the ADA laws, they generally refuse to investigate the
particular complaints we file showing them habitual fraud
on the courts committed by the courts’ own officers! In my
own case, I emphatically and repeatedly objected to the
fraudulent proceedings.

2
Yes, I proved the fraud. It was plain for anyone to see,
but the fraud was simply ignored because the officers of
the court could get away with it due to my disabilities and
the impoverishment resulting from the theft of my property
by unscrupulous officers of the court.

I objected repeatedly for years, telling the court system

and federal and state prosecutors that the law provides for
holding public officials and private citizens accountable
under the law for denying people a fair trial and
obstructing justice. But they would not listen, not in my
case and many others, because the Department of Justice is
negligent in doing its duties. In a majority of cases that
were prosecuted, white collar defendants have been
pressured into pleading guilty in order to receive a
reduced sentence in a minimum security prison camp for not
applying the ADA laws. Many more cases should be prosecuted
instead of ignoring the pleas of the victims.

Today the Department of Justice continues to violate my due

process rights by failing to conduct a thorough
investigation into the frauds on the court perpetrated by
lawyers and condoned by judges in my cases.

Editor’s note: When I received this article yesterday, I could not help but wonder why
Jane Favreau, after so many years of pleading for justice without much effect, does not
give up her quest and enjoy what remains of her so-called golden years. Does she not
know that she is living a myth, that what she pursues, equal justice for all, duly applied to
her case, is an ideal that shall never be definitely realized for everyone? Lawyers and
judges are supposed to be better than the most of us, but they certainly are not. We are
their clients. Our desires are only human, and they would do our bidding to fulfill their
own. We all have a sense of justice, or rather of injustice – the Greeks had Zeus declare

3
that anyone without it should be banished or put to death. Yet that sense is necessarily
biased to suit our needs no matter how profound our philosophy may be. We are fallible
regardless of status. But we can all do better, and that is what ideals are about. Perhaps
we should all take a new oath, and make our daily affirmations more explicit. Instead of
pledging allegiance to flags and the nations they stand for so we may fight wars in
different names for the same god, perhaps we should pledge allegiance to the application
of specific ideals and struggle daily for their immediate realization at home in respect to
particular individuals. No doubt many people, motivated by empathy if not love, are
doing just that, including members of the legal profession. Wherever evil is found there
must be found some good as well. True Dualists, for the sake of logical convenience,
believe there are two gods, one good and one evil, and that the former will eventually
conquer the other at the very last moment. Each shoulder put to the Wheel helps in the
long run. Feb. 25, 2011, Miami Beach, David Arthur Walters
