Courtney Sherwood seems to have NOT done her homework, not checked those "facts" and wrote a defaming article regarding what she apparently believes is true, yet is most certainly "not backed by evidence".
Courtney Sherwood says "Plenty of journalists have blogs these days, but is everyone who blogs a journalist? Not if they fail to check their facts, post defamatory statements not backed by evidence, and have no connections to any news outlets, an Oregon jury recently ruled."
If Courtney Sherwood had done any research, Courtney Sherwood would know that I gave the court over 547 documents of proof of that ONE Blog Post. Courtney Sherwood "would" not call my a Lying Blogger.
Courtney Sherwood would know that I linked to documents, and spent 3 years talking to insiders, reading insider emails that included attorneys from all sides and the department of justice, I read depositions, watched videos of Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group speaking to his clients that he turned on to work for the creditors. I read lawsuits involved in the bankruptcy and interviewed those involved, and I certainly had done years of "fact checking" and it was most CERTAINLY "backed by evidence".
Evidence, that to this day that the Oregon Attorney General, Department of Justice, FBI and anyone who actually pays attention to the US bankruptcy courts will NOT investigate as documented facts.
And ignorant people such as Courtney Sherwood of Lawyers.com blogs, do not investigate, do not fact check or actually read the documents or really have a clue what they are blathering about, spreading as the "story" and somehow they feel justified in attacking me, lying about me, and having done no real "fact checking" of their own on the story to determine the truth of the chosen headline claiming that I am the "Lying Blogger".
Courtney Sherwood simply regurgitates what the main stream media is yammering and in defense of corporate corruption, greed, fraud on the courts and at the same time stomping on the rights of the victims whom I give voice to in telling this story.
Courtney Sherwood has not read every document of Obsidian V. Cox, nor has Courtney Sherwood read all the documents involved in the Summit Bankruptcy Scandal. Yet Courtney Sherwood labels me as the "Lying Blogger" .
Courtney Sherwood calls me the Lying Blogger, and claims I hope for a second chance. Which is pure BULLSHIT. I am not asking for a second chance, the Motion for a New Trial is to help loose lipped, lying, full of shit bloggers LIKE Courtney Sherwood, to minimize their risk.
It is to change how the case reads, goes down in history as "matter of law" and is for people, bloggers such as Courtney Sherwood, to continue doing what they do. I could go straight to appeal or just eat the Judgement, not like I have $2.5 million or will EVER pay it. I chose to accept the challenge of a new trial and all the work it will take to prepare, and to go to court and defend myself again, in order to change the "matter of law" and "case precedence" that this case sets for bloggers, citizen journalists, whistle blowers in America and essentially around the world
The motion for a new Trial is to (not "Chill Speech") so that Bloggers like Courtney Sherwood can trash talk and flat out lie about Bloggers such as Crystal Cox and not lose their homes, their ability to support their family, their way of life. And to protect bloggers such as Courtney Sherwood for when they make dumb ass moves such as this article in which Courtney Sherwood lies about me in and "they" will NOT have to face a $2.5 Million Dollar Judgement. Me agreeing to a motion for a new trial was for the greater good, not for me.

As, if I get a new trial I have to represent myself and may lose again, after all it is the same judge and court. The BONUS, the POINT, is to change the way it goes down in law so that this case does not silence Bloggers, Whistle Blowers, Citizen Journalists and those Exposing Corruption such as I do.
Courtney Sherwood Says "Padrick was originally hired as a consultant to Summit Accommodators" Does Courtney Sherwood have a clue what she is talking about, if hired by Summit then isn't "Padrick" an insider and does this not break the bankruptcy laws to then be a "Trustee"?
Courtney Sherwood Says "He subsequently accused Summit officials of using client money to fund a Ponzi-like scheme that led to millions of dollars in losses to investors."
Again not really based in the whole truth. He "accused", so Courtney Sherwood seems to be saying it is ok that Kevin Padrick accused Summit of a "Ponzi" without proving it, without "fact checking" and "not backed by evidence"?
See, if Courtney Sherwood had done her legal homework, Courtney Sherwood would know that there really was no Ponzi, and if Courtney Sherwood had read the information regarding the Umpqua Bank Lawsuit, Courtney Sherwood would know that Kevin Padrick was the only one creating the "alternate reality" that there was a Ponzi, and thereby set up his own clients "Summit" to be indicted. And taking all eyes off Kevin Padrick and his Cronies as they raked in Millions of Dollars on top of Millions for 3 years and counting, Obsidian Finance, I believe is still making money to this DAY, from the Summit Bankruptcy.
Courtney Sherwood Says "“I believe I did a better job then (sic) a lawyer could have for this first step,” she wrote in December to Seattle Weekly, after a jury awarded $1 million to Obsidian and $1.5 million to Padrick. But court records suggest that Cox has since changed her stance about legal representation."
Again NOT TRUE. I did not "change my stance". How do court records "suggest" this? Only when you don't do your homework and make up an "alternate reality". As the Truth is, court records show a Motion for a New Trial assisted by Lawyers, yes, however I am pro se in the "New Trial Option" and would only have a Lawyer represent me fully in the case of an appeal. Also I did not approach any of these lawyers, they contacted me, as this case affects ALL bloggers and I have a social responsibility to others, like me, who expose corruption, speak out about injustice, and BLOW the Proverbial Whistle.
I am in NO WAY changing my "stance". I am still pro se in this Motion for a New Trial, in the regard that if there is a New Trial, I have to represent myself, the New Trial Motion is for other bloggers more then me, for me.
I could go straight to appeal. Or Do Nothing. I do believe I did a very good job, and law clerks over the last year have complimented me on the job I have done. Just because ONE Judge did not base his "Opinion" in the Retraction Laws, Shield Laws, Anti-Slapp Laws and in the true merits of this case does not mean that I did not do a good job or am in any way changing my "stance" !!!
And also in representing myself, there was no one to tell me to sit down and shut up as Lawyers often do. This way I exposed more on the Summit Bankruptcy Scandal in the Documents of the Case Obsidian V. Cox, over the last year and I questioned Obsidian Finance Group under Oath and further proved their guilt, as far as I see it.Courtney Sherwood Says "Judge Marco A. Hernandez will rule on whether to give Cox a second chance." Again, It not about giving me a Second Chance, if you read ALL the documents you see that I was discriminated against, my proof was thrown out, I was railroaded in a sense and the laws that should have applied to me did not, the Court messed this up, NOT ME. It is more about the right laws applying and not a second chance, for even if I lose AGAIN, at least this new way that I agreed to will make it so bloggers like Courtney Sherwood are able to keep telling it like they see it and be protected. THAT is the POINT, to Protect OTHER bloggers and citizen journalists.
I had many ways out of this, many months ago and none the best for the victims involved nor for the "other" bloggers out there that expose corruption. Or in the case of Courtney Sherwood, bloggers who yammer un-investigated BULLSHIT, and name calls with NO PROOF or Documents of Fact.
My blogs post documents, videos, emails, deposition and PROOF. Courtney Sherwood just mirrors others people's perspective and calls it good.
Courtney Sherwood Says "She criticized Padrick for going after the owners of Summit Accommodators when he became bankruptcy trustee. But that was likely Padrick’s legal obligation." "Likely", really Courtney Sherwood, is that the word your going with? How lame is that ? His Likely legal obligation has far more details and ramifications than this implies. I believe Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group, in his role as a Trustee in a $40 Million Bankruptcy had no legal, ethical right to be the Trustee of the Summit Bankruptcy and I believe Kevin Padrick conspired with Judge Randall Dunn, Tonkon Torp Law Firm, David Aman and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp, Miller Nash, Steven Hedberg, Sussman Shank,Tom Stilley, Susan Ford, Perkins Coie,Pamela Griffith of the Department of Justice, Patricia Whittington and the Cascade Medical Center, and many others in the scooping up of millions of dollars of victims money and answering to no authority and with NO Transparency or Accountability.
Courtney Sherwood Says "The problem is, she presented no proof that her statements were true, even in court." This is so full of shit Courtney Sherwood, do you have the ability to read or think for yourself what so ever? I presented 800 pages in my Trial Documents, and over 547 pages of proof of the SOURCE of this ONE Blog Post, and yes even in court and I was shut down at every turn.
I presented proof of the source of this post over and over during the last year and was denied due process within the laws of the United State of America, and Denied Constitutional Rights, at every turn. All to protect Elite Law Firms of Portland Oregon, Huge Timber Investment Companies and Solar Companies such as Obsidian Finance Group and in the name of trampling victims in multiple states with no accountability of transparency what so every.
Oh and quoting David Carr, again FULL OF SHIT, did you investigate his lying blather or his motives?
David Carr interviewed me and did not post my side. David Carr jumped on the bandwagon of accusing me of Extortion which is a Crime, knowing full well that I explained to him what that email was about, which was an offer to settle and was AFTER the Lawsuit was filed. David Carr will be sued next for Defamation and he did so "Knowingly" and will be unable to use the actual malice defense, as I told him my side.
So jump on the band wagon of the New York Times and kick the "Lying Blogger" while she appears to be down and never notice that I jumped into a fight that was NOT MINE to give victims a voices with my POWERFUL search engine placement skills, all in the name of "Liberty and Justice for All", Obeying the Law, Holding Up the Constitutional Rights of the Victims and on a STORY that was not involving me what so ever. I gave the victims voice to make this world a better place by fighting for what is right.
Wake UP Courtney Sherwood and think for yourself.
