Judicial Abuse - Judge Kaplan in Connecticut Against Chris Kennedy
 
 
March 14, 2006
    Kevin Rasch
    Chief Legal Council to Governor Rell
    Room 212, State Capitol
    Hartford, CT 06106
    860-524-7316
 
Kevin,
    I am holding you, Governor Rell and her office to your commitment to investigate Judge Lawrence Klaczak of Rockville.  In June of 2005 I supplied you with a complaint and summary of my case in Rockville court including Judge Lawrence Klaczak abusing my children to retaliate for my complaint against judge Kaplan.  You issued several letters to the Commissioners of the State and the head of the Judiciary requesting the investigation of Judge Lawrence Klaczak for unethical and illegal activities in Rockville Court.  No action was taken and I was arrested two weeks later based on document Judge Kaplan fabricated and hand delivered to Hartford.  You have responded to every letter since, that there is nothing the Governor can do, that it is a judicial matter only.  Now there is.
 
    Lawrence Klaczak is now up for reappointment and I want to be certain that Governor Rell is fully aware of his abuse of my family before she reappoints this corrupt judge.  On April 5, 2004, my children were abused by this judge, working with judge Kaplan, to issue a restraining order to deprive my children of their father.  There were no children listed and no allegations of abuse on the application.  Kaplan had just denied the same application weeks before stating that there was no reason to include the children.  Klaczak's ruling specifically cited my complaint against Judge Kaplan as the only reason he was removing my children.  He went on to deny every contempt motion I filed including four month of denied access to my children by the mother.  The denied contempt motion was reversed on appeal.
 
On April 20, 2004 Lawrence Klaczak is on the transcript in the Rockville Criminal Court for calling family relations in my criminal case to have a full, no-contact protective order issued.  That order kept my children fatherless for two years due to his influence in a case he had no reason to be involved. 
 
On August 23, 2004, his statements on the record that he would not hold a single mother in contempt of court is clearly prejudicial and gender bias, but that was the reason given for denying my contempt motions.  The mother was allowed to violate the court orders regarding State and Federal taxes and I was fined $5000.00 by the IRS.  He rejected his own subpoena he signed for the mother's tax records and refused to allow any testimony or evidence at a hearing which clearly showed her guilt.  Not only was I discriminated agasint by this judge, but denied my rights to a fair and equitable hearing.
 
I don't think Governor Rell should promote abusing children and blatant discrimination by this corrupt judge.  I urge the Governor to oppose reappointing judge Lawrence Klaczak until a full investigation is done as you committed to less than a year ago. 
 

Chris,

 
Make sure that you are copying the Lt. Governor, the Attorney General, and the Assistant Attorney General with these communications. It will likely generate responses. At the same time, the press should receive copies of the correspondence which may generate small tidbits like ... Today an appeal to the Governor's office for an investigation of potential corruption in the family courts was made and no answer was received from any State Officials."
 
Just a suggestion as I know you are intimately involved with this stuff. I know that someone should be recording what is happening under the Open Meetings Act of Government.

To The HonorableGovernor Rell,
   
 Today I was in Enfield criminal court for the two year old charges and allegations of refusing to return our children to the mother when she testified she was gone for the night with her boyfriend.  Judge Scheinblum heard my motion to transfer my case to New Haven and a motion for his recusal.
 
    I cited the judge removing both my attorneys from the case, his declaration from two years ago that this case belongs in family court, not criminal, and transcripts of Judge Kaplan telling the prosecutor Parakilas to prosecute me and the prosecutor denying all conversation with the Judge.  I included my arrest two days later by Chris Parakilas' Supervisor and judge Kaplan coercing the Hartford Prosecutor with documents he delivered from Rockville Court for my latest arrest.  I included my motion for ADA accommodations that the judge denied without reading the brief he ordered me to provide to the court.  Also my motion to reconsider the removal of my attorney which he denied without reading as well. 
 
    Judge Scheinblum ordered the court reporter to shut off the recorder and then threatened me with retaliation for my allegations  - off the record.
 
    How out of control do the Prosecutors and judges have to get before the Governor decides to protect my children and other families from this corruption and abuse?  Why are Legislators referring Fathers to me and my organization with complaints against the judiciary?

Dear Mr. Rasch,
   
    Thank you for your response and I do appreciate your immediate action of contacting the agencies involved.  The response by the Chief State Prosecutor's office was to investigate Prosecutor Matt Gedanski only, who has never been directly involved in my case.  Chris Morano is choosing to ignore my complaint against Prosecutor Parakilas and Elizabeth Leaming and the Transcripts of Judge Kaplan ordering him to prosecute me and Parakilas denying this conversation.  Also the affidavit of Judge Kaplan personally delivering documents from Rockville court files to the Hartford Prosecutor for my arrest and removing my defense attorney to meet with Prosecutor Elizabeth Leaming in private.  Instead, James Thomas, the Supervisor of Parakilas has me arrested.  Why was Chris Morano allowed to stay in office and Police Commissioner Arthur Spada removed? 
 
    So, if I complain against a judge, my children are taken and I'm arrested along with my child.  When I submit evidence of judicial corruption and Prosecutors lying in court I am arrested again and the prosecution attempts to lock me up to shut me up with impossible bond.  And the Governor can do nothing?  
 
   I believe requesting action by the Governor is appropriate is this case.  If a Judge can order Prosecutors who to prosecute and can influence cases by personally providing the documentation and coerce an arrest, I think that's a problem.  This is a problem of corruption in the Judicial and Executive Branch, regardless of the outcome of my personal criminal case.  No attorney or public defender can succeed when the Judges and Prosecutors are conspiring against the rules of court and State Statutes.
 
    I would like to see the Statute that prohibits the Governor from intervention when a judge is giving orders to a state prosecutor and interfering with a prosecutors legal obligation.  This latest arrest magnified the problems in our State Government that there are still bad seeds and corruption by State officials.  I will speak out against these evils regardless of the penalties, I won't stand for it.  Dr. Martin Luther King wrote some of his best letters from his Birmington Alabama jail cell.
 
    When Kaplan and Parakilas are arrested, the people of our State will want to know what action the Governor took to protect children and families from this abuse and corruption, they don't care about jurisdiction or Statutes or excuses.

Mr.. Kennedy,
You are aware of what you and I have discussed as the appropriate role of this office.  As you know I have contacted several agencies as a follow up to our conversation. As to other matters, I suggest that you continue to seek the advise and counsel of an attorney or legal counsel whom you have retained to defend and represent you. If you are eligible, the Office of Public Defender may be able to provide you with an attorney. The phone number for the Office of the Public defender is (860) 509-6400. In addition to the Office of the Public Defender, Statewide Legal Services, Inc., depending on the nature of the matter, may also be able to provide you with assistance. That organization can be reached at 1-800-453-3320.
