	Coincidence or ? - Public Access to Clergy Case Files Denied Friday Hearings on Motion to Quash and Motion to Comply with Subpoenas June 6th City of Angels [Los Angeles] June 2, 2007 http://cityofangels3.blogspot.com/2007/06/coincidence-or-public-access-to-clergy.html It could have been a coincidence, but yesterday it was impossible to go document diving in the JCCP network provided for free access to the public in Room 106 of Superior Court Los Angeles. Two days earlier I'd written in this blog about reading the documents in descending order -- and yesterday every other function was working in Room 106 except "sort by descending order" in the clergy case documents. I watched people come in and out accessing their civil cases. The only thing the computers would not open was the only way a person can access the thousands of documents for the 500-plus cases working their way through court this year. So as much as I tried to find out more about Roger Mahony's possible testimony June 11th, the public access computer would not let me go there. You could get as far as "sort by ascending order" where the documents begin with 2002. Normally one more click and you are looking at the most recently filed documents. There are literally thousands of screens between the first and last documents, so technically the public still has access. I'd just have to scroll through about 30,000 screens until I got to the motions filed in 2007. At 12:20 PM, the first time the click would not work, I shivered. Two weeks to the day earlier, Friday May 18th in that very room, a guy had stood over my shoulder, indeed was breathing down my neck, as I showed him, "See you click here and it goes to the first document filed, click again and it takes you to the ones from a few days ago." This kinda creepy guy had barreled into Room 106 a few minutes earlier announcing that no one respected him for trying to be his own lawyer. He struck up a conversation with me and soon was telling me his own experience with a pederast priest and looking over my shoulders to see how I accessed the documents. Now that function I showed him is just the function that won't work in Room 106 the public access room for civil cases filed in Los Angeles. I went two flights up and asked the clerks in Judge Fromholz' Department 20 if they had any idea what was going on. They told me that Thursday "the vendor" out of the blue announced it was doing an "upgrade" on the JCCP Network files, and they were apparently down all that day as well. Now the files appear to be accessible to the public, but they're not. One clerk is mystified. He promises to email the vendor (software geeks in El Segundo, home of Air Force Space Command, once home of Boeing). I take breaks and return several times to Room 106. At 3:30 there still is no access. So I can't read the papers filed re Mahony testifying in BC308065, the Kreutzer case with a June 11th jury trial. I know from the witness list I was able to read Wednesday that the cardinal is Number 17 on the plaintiffs' witness list in that trial. Hearings next week on Kreutzer and Hagenbach cases I think the June 6 hearing on Motion for Order Quashing Civil Subpoena in Case BC308065 (same Kreutzer case) ... regards Mahony, as the dates coincide with when Mahony would have been served. But since I couldn't access files yesterday, we'll have to wait until... probably June 6th. City of Angels Lady will do her best to stay on top of this and find out what's really going on... . As for intelligence, if these are dirty tricks. I expected better from the cardinal.
