Sacramento Judge Thadd Blizzard Aids & Abets Criminal Child Abduction, Blocks Witness Subpoenas for Judge Pro Tem Attorney Richard Sokol

Leaked Court Reporter Transcript Catches Sacramento Judge Authorizing Criminal Child Abduction for Client of Judge Pro Tem Lawyer 

Hon. Thadd A. Blizzard

Hon. Thadd A. Blizzard is memorialized in this court reporter transcript approving a criminal child abduction and blocking witness subpoenas for the benefit of Sacramento Family Court judge pro tem attorney Richard Sokol. As the family law hearing transcript records, opposing attorney Archibald Cunningham of San Francisco was stunned by the judge's acquiesce to a clearly illegal, out-of-state move away in which the facts were not disputed. 

Sacramento Family Court has an established track record of collusion between full-time judges and judge pro tem attorneys who operate the settlement conference program on behalf of the court. Court watchdogs have documented that the temporary judges are compensated with favorable rulings and other perks when representing clients in the same court.

During a 2012 nationwide tour of courthouses across the country, national court accountability advocate Bill Windsor called the William R. Ridgeway Family Courthouse in Sacramento "one of the most corrupt in all of America with crimes committed routinely by those who claim to be judges inside." In 2008, attorney Stephen R. Gianelli, also of San Francisco, described a nightmarish ordeal similar to Cunningham's in the same court. "Based on my experience with the Sacramento Family Court, and in my personal opinion, this is a 'juice court' in which counsel outside Sacramento have little change of prevailing," Gianelli said. The transcript was leaked to, and posted by Sacramento Family Court News.
