Summary (Justice Demanded)
The court proceedings against Aaron Surina reveal a series of concerns that suggest bias, potential injustices, and unfair practices. Mr. Surina, representing himself in the court, was constrained by threats of fines and jail time for interruptions, which could have limited his ability to effectively present his case. There were instances where his motions and pleas seemed to have been overlooked or missing from the court files, raising concerns about the fair handling of his case.
Mr. Surina’s legitimate concerns for the safety and wellbeing of his children were often undermined or dismissed. His request to place the children with him due to their mother’s eviction was disputed, and his fears of potential international abduction were downplayed, despite his provision of an email from the State Department advising him to seek court approval for travel restrictions. The court even dismissed the significance of the mother’s dual citizenship in a custody dispute, neglecting the potential risk it posed.
Mr. Surina was threatened with a sanction under CR 11, which could include an order to pay for the other party’s reasonable expenses. This not only seems to discourage him from voicing his concerns but also appears unjust. Moreover, the court imposed sanctions and attorney fees on Mr. Surina without fair cause, while the other attorney was not sanctioned for similar actions. This discrepancy suggests unequal treatment and potential prejudice against Mr. Surina.
Overall, the court proceedings against Mr. Surina suggest potential bias, possible injustices, and unethical conduct. His concerns and pleas for his children’s safety and stability were often dismissed or undermined, and his right to a fair trial was possibly hindered. The conduct of the attorneys involved, particularly Stanley Kempner and Keith Glanzer, warrants further scrutiny and consideration.
