Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings Dies at the age of 68

U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings, a twelve-term Congressman from Maryland has died.  His widow, Maryland Democratic Party Chair Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, released a statement, saying, "Congressman Cummings was an honorable man who proudly served his district and the nation with dignity, integrity, compassion and humility. He worked until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and that our nation’s diversity was our promise, not our problem. It has been an honor to walk by his side on this incredible journey. I loved him deeply and will miss him dearly."

Exposing Fisk Lawnscapes
Consumer Corruption: Exposing Fisk Lawnscapes  

Advocacy Group, A Just Cause, Exposes the Facts and Seeks Justice  

Summary of Facts: 

After explicitly discussing the type of service desired and expected, Fisk failed to complete any service that had been paid for.  For the cost of approximately $1500 per month for pruning of shrubs, bushes, and hedges; flower bed weed removal and deadheading; removal of debris and dead/withering vegetation. A payment of $1775 had been made for sprinkler maintenance and repair; Fisk had not performed any of the beforementioned services.  

 

Payments had been made for April, May, and June 2019.  As of July 4, 2019, no trimming or pruning of hedges, shrubs, or bushes had been performed.

 

Flower beds were not weeded, and grass had grown into the flower beds.

 

Sprinkler system was not setup/serviced to support proper growth and coverage in flower beds and subsequently, flooding of the backyard occurred because of sprinkler disrepair.  After 4 tries, Fisk was unable to eradicate this problem and another contractor had to be paid $1500 to fix the system that Fisk had already been paid to complete.  Last of all, due to the flooding, sod had to be replaced for an additional $600.

 

Flowers installed into flower beds were not the flowers agreed to when the contract was compiled with Jacob Stankich, and Rick Hobb.

 

Concrete color and texture is not the correct color and texture according to what was agreed to with Rick Hobb.  There was no sample concrete viewing prior to pour, which is their standard process.  Rick Hobb, in the presence of Jacob Stankich, agreed that because the job had not been performed according to what was agreed upon, the remaining balance for the concrete installation would be negated and Fisk would attempt to correct the problems that exist.

 

When a business fails to provide the agreed upon service and installs the incorrect product, the only proper course of action would be a full refund to the customer.  Instead Fisk sends a letter with a balance due from the customer.  This is an inconceivable response on the part of Fisk Lawnscapes.

IRP5 Lives at Risk!!

AJC Recognizes!!

H. Lee Sarokin.jpg
Meet First Recipient of the H. Lee Sarokin Gavel Award!! 

Presented by A Just Cause

 

Judge H. Lee Sarokin served on the United States District Court (New Jersey), appointed by President Carter, and the United States Court of Appeals (3rd Cir.) appointed by President Clinton. He retired in 1996 after 17 years on the federal bench and now resides in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

 

In 1985, Sarokin famously overturned the 1967 triple murder conviction of former middleweight boxer Rubin Carter resulting in Carter's release. Sarokin ruled that Carter had not received a fair trial as the prosecution had been based on 'racism rather than reason' and 'concealment rather than disclosure'.

 

Judge Sarokin has taken an interest in the IRP6 wrongful convictions case and posted a five-part series in the Huffington Post, in which he is an ongoing contributor:

"If a scam, would you single out law enforcement agencies as your sole customers?"

"The Case of the Missing Transcript,” “The Missing Transcript Case Becomes More Curious – Part II”, “The Case of the Missing Transcript Solved – Part III”,  "The Case of the Missing Transcript Becomes Stranger Yet - Part IV", and "The Case of the Missing Transcript Faces Another Defeat - Part V."

Judge Sarokin says, Court of Appeal had enough evidence to conclude that IRP6's rights were indeed violated and the court should either reverse or remand for a new trial or dismiss.

Judge H. Lee Sarokin volunteered 2.5 years of his time and service to thoroughly investigate the wrongful convictions of the IRP6. After his findings of 'No Criminal Intent' was demonstrated by the IRP6, he hasn't stopped advocating for their freedom and release from federal prison.

 

In honor of his ongoing efforts, the H. Lee Sarokin Gavel of Honor Award was created by a non-profit advocacy organization, called A Just Cause. This award recognizes individuals, who possess the qualities of the good Samaritan, crying out against injustice and abuse wherever found, and making extraordinary personal sacrifices to advance the cause of justice for their fellow man and humanity, as a whole.

 

Appropriately, the first H. Lee Sarokin Gavel of Honor Award recipient was its namesake, the Honorable H. Lee Sarokin, federal judge, good Samaritan, and fierce protector of every human's constitutional rights. He is a true hero!

Huffington Post Highlights the IRP5 Story & the Injustice of the Case!! 

From the Blog of The Honorable H. Lee Sarokin, The Huffington Post

 

The Honorable H. Lee Sarokin, retired Federal Appellate judge continues his advocacy and support for the wrongfully convicted men, known as the IRP5. His recent blog post, 'A Company Small Enough To Prosecute', at The Huffington Post. In a recent article online at The Washington Post entitled, 'Judge who Freed ‘Hurricane’ Carter Now Helping Six Imprisoned Men, but Only Obama Can Save Them', Tom Jackman details the meticulous investigation and ground breaking conclusions of Judge Sarokin, who became convinced the innocence of the IRP6.  Judge Sarokin didn't stop at proclamations, he wrote a series on the Huffington Post Crime Blog about the IRP5 case, authored a play, called 'The Race Card Face Up', and ultimately a letter on behalf of the IRP5 to President Obama pushing for their clemency, something Judge Sarokin had never done in sixty years as a lawyer or judge.

IRP5: The Case of the Missing Transcript!!

Former Appelate Judge H. Lee Sarokin in a 5-part series at Huffington Post...

"...The government proved that the defendants incurred debts and did not pay them, but it failed to prove that they did not intend to pay them when incurred, because that was not their true intention. Now, although all of the legal arguments have been neatly sewn up and put aside, I cannot help but believe that the fabric of justice has been frayed in the process."
