| Here is attorney Daniel Shinoff's letter in response to Maura Larkins' letter. |
| Judge Judith Hayes refused to consider the following declaration filed by Maura Larkins, even though Maura Larkins submitted to a six-hour deposition and submitted hundreds of documents as evidence. Why would a judge do this? We can only speculate, but it should be noted that this judge was forced out of the criminal courts due to her strange decision-making pattern. |
