Roger Weidner, a former attorney, public prosecutor, and l998 Oregon Reform Party candidate for Governor, who has been battling the Oregon court system for 18-plus years, has filed a Federal Civil Rights and Racketeering Complaint against the Oregon State Bar and numerous judges and attorneys. Also named were Deschutes County Sheriff Captain Tim Edwards and Deschutes County Circuit Court Administrator Ernie Mazaro. The attorneys named are Claud Ingram, Linda Haase, and Anthony Albertazzi. The judges named are Gary Thompson, Stephen Tictin, Jack Billings, Lloyd O’Neal, Stephen Forte, Michael Sullivan, and Richard Barber. Also named were the Oregon State Bar and Arbitrator George Burgott.
The US~Observer has for years now been covering the unprecedented abuse Weidner has suffered as he has fought a judicial system he believes is totally corrupted. That abuse includes 21 arrests, many violent, 300 days in jail, including 30 days in solitary confinement, and 70 days in the maximum security unit of the Oregon Insane Asylum. While in the Insane Asylum, Weidner was subjected to forced blood draws and other medical examinations while shackled by the hands and feet. At a hearing in front of Marion County Circuit Court Judge Paul Lipscomb, Weidner was ordered released. The judge stated there was no reason for Weidner to have been placed in the Asylum in the first place. Weidner has also been the subject of 9 prosecutions, 4 of which were brought by the Oregon State Bar, in an attempt to stop his ongoing effort to expose the corruption he perceives in the court system.
Most recently, Weidner was prosecuted in Deschutes County, Oregon, for Harassment for attempting to arrest attorney Claude Ingram. Weidner charged Ingram with bribery, subornation of perjury, conspiracy, and theft; however, no charges were filed against Ingram. Judge Barber, after hearing Weidner testify in detail, without challenge or objection, about his allegations of fraud and collusion against attorneys Ingram, Linda Haase, Anthony Albertazzi, and Santiago Torres, convicted Weidner of Harassment on the testimony of attorney Ingram and Deschutes County Sheriff Captain Tim Edwards.
Weidner claims, “In furtherance of their conspiracy to defraud Patricia Wishon, Ingram filed a lawsuit against property owners Patricia, her son Jason Wheeler, and me. Judge Barber, as part of the conspiracy, dismissed the Third Party Complaint Wishon, Wheeler, and I filed against Ingram and the others in Deschutes County involved in attempting to cover up the attempted theft of Wishon property. Judge Barber blocked Wishon and me from presenting our overwhelming evidence of fraud and corruption. He did so by repeatedly sustaining Ingram’s objections to questions Patricia and I asked witnesses about their firsthand knowledge of the fraud and conspiracy by Ingram and the others involved in attempting to convert the Wishon-Wheeler-Weidner property. Judge Barber blocked me from testifying about the fact that all witnesses called against me in my politically motivated disbarment hearing, referred to by Ingram, were completely impeached.
Nor would Judge Barber allow me to testify that my numerous prosecutions by the District Attorneys in Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion and Deschutes County were for contempt, for insisting on speaking in court, under oath, about the corruption involved in the innocent people I have been helping who have had their children, lands and property shamelessly stolen in sham, often star chamber type judicial proceedings where the victim always looses.”
Weidner concluded by informing us that Judge Barber has entered an order blocking his ability to file any further lawsuits in these matters. Weidner states, “I have no other option than to file the federal lawsuit, as the government is damaging me and countless others, and the government has now ordered me to stop filing lawsuits – our only remedy. The only redress I have now is to file a federal civil rights complaint.”
