Is he the worst judge in America? I make my case. 

Hartger February 21 Warrant Revealed

 Her arrest on February 21, 2020, was so dramatic she filmed it in real time. 

 

 So, what did Jessica Hartger do that warranted several police officers and breaking her car window?

It turns out she said something mean to a judge in an email and on twitter. 

Jessica Hartger Warrant by mikekvolpe on Scribd

According to the warrant, Hartger sent a threatening email to a judge, "Specifically the Defendant stated, 'DO I NEED TO FLOOD DAKOTA COUNTY WITH PEOPLE? BECAUSE WE ARE READY WHEN YOU ARE.'" Hartger's email stated to the judge in her custody case, Judge Ann Offerman. 

The warrant stated that Hartger continued her harangue on Twitter, "On the same date, Defendant wrote a post on Twitter referencing, which referenced the email from Judge Offerman's law clerk. See confidential exhibit attached. In this post, Defendant threatened to kidnap her child."

The tweet is not revealed, but according to the warrant, this means Hartger violated the terms of her release, "Defendant has violated the terms of her release by failing to remain law abiding."

It doesn't say in the warrant how she did not remain law abiding. Mean tweets and emails are still within the law. 

In fact, an investigation, found she did not violate the law. Here is more on that, "On 02-21-2020, I Deputy Scheffknecht, was assigned to the Bailiff Station at the Division 2 Government Courthouse in Hastings, MN. I was notified by Sergeant Wilkerson about potential threats made toward Dakota County Judges by an individual identified as Jessica Danielle Hartger DOB/ 1992-01-15. After reviewing emails sent by Mrs. Hartger, text messages, and Police Reports forwarded to me, at this time, Mrs. Hartger does not appear to make any threats towards the judges that are criminal in nature. This report is being completed in case Mrs. Hartger's behaviors escalate. This is an informational only report."

Despite the law enforcement's own investigation not finding anything criminal in any of the writings by Ms. Hartger, the Dakota County prosecutor, Cory Monnens, wrote up the warrant and a judge, David Knutson, signed it. 

David Knutson is the notorious judge from the Rucki case; in the video below, he forces a lawyer to conduct part of a custody trial handcuffed to a wheelchair (at approximately 1:10:10 in)

Hartger is currently facing charges from August 2019 for allegedly biting her ex-boyfriend, Cody Myers. That trial is scheduled to start in September 2020. The February 21, 2020, detainment, was the sixth time she was arrested after her initial arrest in August 2019. 

Below, she describes the February 21 arrest and other arrests.

Gianna Rucki Recording

This is a recording made shortly after April 19, 2013, by Gianna Rucki, who begged with the court to be allowed to live with her mom. The court denied her and she along with her sister Samantha, ran. 

Samantha also made a recording.

On Steel Truth Talking 20/20, "Footprints in the Snow", and the Rucki case

Find my email to Aimee Buck below.

Ms. Buck,

this is Michael Volpe. I'm a freelance investigative journalist. I understand that Investigation Discovery re-broadcast "Footprints in the Snow" the 20/20 episode I long ago discredited but ID and your family of networks continue to re-broadcast it. I'd like an answer to some questions. 

1)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRCulTBdqHQ&t=377s  why didn't 20/20 play any of the audio from 4:51-7:10 when Samantha Rucki described her father ripping an organ leg off an organ and choking her mother, choking her sister, making comments about Samantha's breasts and running his hands up his daughter's legs. They had this audio since they played other parts. 

2) https://www.scribd.com/doc/316692570/SamiRucki on page fifteen Nico Rucki describes his father sticking a gun to his head when he was eight years old. Nico, in the broadcast, said he's never seen his father be violent. Obviously, both  can't be true. Which one is?

3) https://www.scribd.com/document/403492148/Druck-i-Police-Reports#from_embed that's 99 pages of evidence of David Rucki being violent. How did 20/20 come up with the idea there's no evidence David Rucki is violent? 

4) https://theeprovocateur.blogspot.com/2020/01/new-document-shows-case-fixing-in-rucki.html in this, there is a document which shows David Rucki knew ahead of time that he would win his custody trial? Why was that not mentioned? 

5) https://www.commdiginews.com/entertainment/did-2020-manipulate-the-rucki-story-to-hide-abuse-61696/ Given that this was written almost four years ago, why do you still re-broadcast an episode that no one believes any more? 

Ms. Buck's response was, "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We were unaware until your outreach on Friday that there was anything called into question in this program, and we are currently looking into the claims you presented with the producers at ABC News. While we investigate further, Investigation Discovery has removed “Footprints in the Snow” from our schedule. Thank you for reaching out."

Court Goes Haywire for David Rucki et al

Things have seemed to turn for David Rucki in court.

Specifically, recently, a judge, Jerome Abrams, seemed to have a bit of a hissy fit while writing a January 2020 order.

Order-Other 1-17-2020 14.49... by mikekvolpe on Scribd

In that order, Judge Abrams begins in a most bizarre manner, by stating, "The court has been left in an unusual posture since the decision of Deirdre Evavold to "quit" participating as a defendant in this case."

Evavold is one of several defendants being sued by David Rucki. A previous filing from the suit, which lists all plaintiffs and defendants, along with a summary of the case, is below.

State Farm's Summary Ju... by mikekvolpe on Scribd

Evavold withdrew as a defendant, meaning she would lose by default, previously. Somehow, Judge Abrams claims this made things more complicated.

Evavold is not the only litigant who the judge admonished in his order. He also admonished State Farm, drawn in because they provide homeowner's insurance coverage to Evavold.

While they may have been drawn in, State Farm then proceeded to demand they be able to depose, Evavold and her husband, even though her husband wasn't even being sued; they even wanted for Lisa Elliott, David Rucki's attorney, to be able to depose her on the same day.

The judge continued, "State Farm takes the position, in an unhelpful response to the court, that it should enter a finding of no coverage," meaning State Farm shouldn't be forced to pay whatever damages David Rucki proves.

Judge Abrams then noted that on November 1, 2019, he ordered the parties to agree on terms to dispose of the case or to draft all the issues which were still unsettled.

State Farm, as Evavold's insurer, was still left, but Evavold was not.

There was no agreement, and this also seemed to irritate Judge Abrams.

"Again, not surprisingly, the parties formally set forth what they disagreed about in correspondence, in response to this court's order.

"As a consequence of these divergent viewpoints, the Court is left without the ability to formulate a plan, as the parties cannot agree on the issues which remain in these cases, the timing of any future events, nor a process under which these matters can be directed to a fair and orderly resolution."

There was a February 3, 2020, trial date scheduled but that was postponed until at least June, however, Abrams also requires agreement on numerous issues which there is no agreement yet as well.

The History

On April 19, 2013, David and Sandra Grazzini-Rucki's two oldest daughters- Samantha and Gianna- ran and disappeared.

They were found in November 2015 and because David Rucki had a custody order giving him sole custody; Sandra Grazzini-Rucki and others were charged with crimes.

In 2016, all those charged with crimes were either convicted or plead guilty.

Doug and Gina Dahlen, with whom the two girls stayed willingly, plead guilty; SGR and Evavold, who recommended the Dahlen's to SGR, were found guilty in trials.

David Rucki, the courts, and the media all claimed that SGR was "alienating" him from his kids and that's why all five of his kids rejected him and why the two girls ran.

SGR and all her kids, at various times, all said David was abusive, as in this audio recording made by his daughter, Samantha, where she said he choked her mother with an organ leg, choked her sister on a couch, and made comments about Samantha's breasts and ran his hands up her leg. (Starting at 4:51 until 7:10)

Below are 99 pages of incidents of violence by David Rucki.

Druck i Police Reports by mikekvolpe on Scribd

Despite that, as I said, there were convictions or guilty pleas; as such, David Rucki has since been systematically approaching those considered by the law perpetrators against him and demanding civil settlements as well.

He, I was told, approached the Dahlen's and settled, in a conveniently sealed settlement, for six figures.

This lawsuit in which Judge Abrams now has a hissy fit in was presumably the next step.

Everything was moving nicely along. On May 10, 2019, according to the docket, which is below, a judgment was entered.

Ruc Kiev Avold by mikekvolpe on Scribd

 Then, on September 27, 2019, he issued a "Findings of Fact, Conclusion of Law, and Order."

That order is here.

While there was a judgment, a summary judgment in fact, it was still not entirely clear who needed to pay, particularly State Farm or Evavold.

Also, while Judge Abrams issued a summary judgment, this was only on most of the case, he left one part undecided, the issue of whether or not Evavold falsely imprisoned the two girls.

The audio previously referenced was made shortly after Samantha ran. It is below, again, you decide if she ran willingly or was falsely being imprisoned.

 The dispute over whether the girls were falsely imprisoned should not have caused, in my opinion, as much confusion as it has.

Since that May 10 judgment, things have slowly deteriorated, but especially, since I had a conversation with LeHoan Pham, an attorney who represents State Farm in this, in September.

I wanted to know why he was desperately trying to depose his insurance company's client; if State Farm represented Evavold, it didn't seem like a good look that the insurance company would try and depose her.

Even worse, Pham filed a "joinder motion" with Lisa Elliott, David Rucki's attorney. Here is the motion

I wrote more about the situation with Pham here.

Since that conversation, all hell has broken loose in this case.

Pham continued to try to have Evavold and her husband deposed.

Deirdre Evavold Letter by mikekvolpe on Scribd

Evavold blew off that deposition and when Pham tried to have Judge Abrams force Evavold to sit for a deposition, Abrams did not take him up on his offer, instead ordering the terse order below, which he issued on November 1, 2019.

RuckiRuckStateFarmRucki 11-... by mikekvolpe on Scribd

In the order above, Abrams asked all parties to reach an agreement or submit their lists of items on which they disagree.

I wrote more about it here.

When there was still disagreement, he threw the hissy fit.

Evavold is out, there's no agreement, and there is now only a tentative timeline to finish this case.

Evavold Criminal Charges Thrown Out

Meanwhile, long simmering criminal charges against Dede Evavold were also recently dropped.

Below is a correspondence from the prosecutor.

Campbell Knutson by mikekvolpe on Scribd

This is a case I have reported on previously.

Originally, someone took a photo of Michael Brodkorb's wife. That photo wound up on Twitter, where it remained. It's below.

Sarah @mbrodkorb should be immediately brought in for questioning. I hope #grazzinirucki subpoenas her!! ....walls r falling for Dave Rucki.....Minnesota keep covering we will keep documenting......#grazzinirucki #evavold @missinginmn pic.twitter.com/e3jBNYvFdf

— Jane Johnson (@johnsonmedia2) August 14, 2018

Even though Twitter finds nothing wrong it, Brodkorb was able to get a protective order against Evavold, and others, but particularly Evavold.

Brodkorb is David Rucki's smear merchant and propagandist. He publishes the website Missing in Minnesota, where he dedicates himself to smearing SGR and anyone who supports her.

He mentioned Evavold's fracas with him on the site.

A judge in Dakota County scheduled Dede Evavold’s criminal trial for March 23, 2020, on a criminal charge of violating a Harassment Restraining Order (HRO) filed against her by Michael Brodkorb. Evavold was charged in May after she attempted to contact Brodkorb for assistance in restarting her blog after WordPress suspended it for violating their terms of service.
Evavold’s criminal trial was scheduled during a hearing today at the Dakota County Northern Service Center in West St. Paul, Minnesota. An evidentiary hearing was also scheduled for February 28, 2020.  

Brodkorb was granted an HRO against Evavold last year for her involvement in surreptitiously obtaining and later distributing a photograph of Brodkorb’s wife and minor children online.

This is despite the fact that Evavold was only shown to have received a copy of the photo. That order is here.

Then, Evavold contacted Brodkorb's attorney, which Brodkorb claimed violated the harassment order.

Initially, prosecutors agreed.

Here is an email from Elliott Knetsch from June 26, 2019, Ms. Evavold-

We are in receipt of your correspondence below.  Please be advised that anything you say or send to us may be used against you in court.  You may wish to consult with an attorney before sending us any further correspondence.

After careful consideration, we will not be dismissing the charges at this time.  

That same Knetsch on January 22, 2020, told Brodkorb in the above letter, "I have reviewed the above referenced police report and after serious consideration, I have decided not to file criminal charges against Mrs. Evavold for this incident."

Remarkable. 

Judge Karen Asphaug Out

(Judge Karen Asphaug)

Here is an item which flew under the radar for a while. 

As of October 31, 2019, Judge Karen Asphaug has announced her intention to retire. 

Who is Judge Karen Asphaug?

She presided over the criminal trials of SGR, Dede Evavold, and the two Dahlen's.

She has materialized in David Rucki's world many times. 

In this article, David Rucki screamed uncontrollably and swore at two and three year olds. Then, when his neighbors threatened to call the police, he said, "If any of you assholes ever call the police on me again, I'll raise holy hell," according to the police report. 

Judge Asphaug was the presiding the judge, who dismissed the case inexplicably for a lack of probable cause, though there were several witnesses who gave police statements, on the eve of trial in February 2010. 

She also recently granted David Rucki a fifty year harassment order against Evavold. That protective order is below. That order was signed on September 9, 2019.

Extended HRO by mikekvolpe on Scribd

  As such that that order expires in 2069. It forbids Evavold from saying David Rucki and his children's names anywhere publicly, particularly not on social media.

I described Asphaug's role in David Rucki's corruption in more detail in the video below, starting at 41:15.

 Now, she is out as a judge. Here is from the announcement, "The vacancies will occur upon the retirements of the Honorable Lawrence Clark and the Honorable Karen Asphaug. The position created by Judge Clark’s retirement will be chambered at Red Wing in Goodhue County. The position created by Judge Asphaug’s retirement will be chambered at Hastings in Dakota County."

That announcement was made on October 31, 2019. 

It seems one of David Rucki's favorite judges will not be around to do him more favors.

Unqualified Administrator Made Rucki Custody Recommendation

(Judge David Knutson, Minnesota 1st Judicial District)

An unqualified bureaucrat made a key custody recommendation in the Rucki case.

Laura Miles is a the State Family Court Division Manager at Minnesota State Guardian ad Litem Board, according to her Linkedin profile.

Her Linkedin profile states that she has “(a) demonstrated history of working in the government administration industry. Skilled in Communication, Relationship Building, Organizational 

Leadership, Family Law, and Juvenile Court. Strong program and project management professional with a Post Graduate Certificate focused in Forensic Mental Health from Concordia University-St. Paul.”

Somehow, Miles was allowed to do a guardian ad litem report in which she made custody recommendations, in the divorce of Sandra Grazzini-Rucki (SGR) and David Rucki, recommending that David Rucki receive sole custody.

Miles Report by mikekvolpe on Scribd

“It is the opinion of this writer that the children’s best interests are served by granting sole and physical custody to their father, David Rucki,” Miles said in the report dated August 29, 2013. “Ms. Grazzini-Rucki has made multiple allegations of abuse of Mr. Rucki; however, this reporter could find no substantiations by the professionals involved of said abuse.”

It’s not clear how someone with experience in administration could be allowed to make judgments on custody but Miles was appointed on the case by Judge David Knutson, of Minnesota’s First Judicial District.

Neither responded to emails for an explanation.

Knutson held a custody trial on September 11-12th, 2013, in which Miles testified to her conclusions. 

Miles was the second GAL on the case after Julie Friedrich. Friedrich is a non-practicing attorney but still accused SGR of parental alienation, a psychological term.

Friedrich left the case in May 2013, shortly after the two oldest girls, Samantha and Gianna, ran and disappeared on April 19, 2013.

It’s noteworthy that one of the professionals to whom Miles refers, in the report, to not find evidence of abuse was Jim Gilbertson, a therapist also appointed on the case by Knutson on September 7, 2012. 

In the audio recording, starting at 3:10 and until 4:51, Samantha, who made the recording shortly after she ran, describes how Gilbertson gets sexually aroused after touching her shoulder and back.

In the same audio Samantha described how her father ripped an organ leg off an organ and choked her mother with it and then referring to Dr. Gilbertson response, she stated, "unless you have a videotape of this incident going down, that did not- like that never happened. That was always their excuse, 'well you do not have videotape, and I'd be like well, yes, when my mom is getting beaten to death, I'm going to videotape this."

"And then my dad, before the divorce, he'd always come home drunk or he'd beat my mom to no end." Samantha also said in the audio recording above (starting at 4:51 of the recording), "He's choked, slapped and hit, her and verbally abused her throughout their marriage, and he's lost it on us kids a number of times. I mean, he threw Nia into a couch and started choking her once and Nia's my little sister and she's eleven."

Samantha also described how her father made sexual comments, "like how my boobs were looking bigger" and that her father would run his hands up her thigh.

Somehow, Miles found no evidence of abuse though.

Instead, Miles also stated in her report, "Ms. Grazzini-Rucki demonstrates a willful, consistent disregard for this court process and has refused to comply with several court orders."

This report was made again on August 29, 2013.

In the previous year, here are some things which happened to SGR as a result of the court.

On September 7, 2012, she was ordered out of the home she lived on for more than a decade by a court order of Judge David Knutson. That court order is below.

G168-1201-0006 by mikekvolpe on Scribd

That court order followed a non-traditional telephonic conference on September 5, 2012, which she did not attend. She was not made aware of the court order until the morning September 7. A transcript of this highly unusual non-hearing is below.

G168-1201-0669 by mikekvolpe on Scribd

Having been thrown out of her home, she was left homeless. She was also only allowed to see her five children twice from September 7, 2012, until now, but in that case, August 29, 2013.

Both those visits were supervised.

Judge Knutson ordered Tammy Love, her ex-husband's sister, to live in the family home and temporarily take care of the children on September 7, 2012, taking custody away from both parents.

But the children ran that day- September 7, 2012- to the police station and were allowed to stay with SGR's sister.

Then, on April 19, 2013, her five children were again ordered to live with their paternal aunt in their family home and told this would be temporary until they would live with their father.

SGR was not told of this and she was surprised that day with a frantic phone call from her two oldest daughters- Samantha and Gianna- who ran rather that being forced to live with their father.

"We're running with or without you," she was told by her daughters.

This is what the court orders had created in her life and yet, according to Ms. Miles, she was at fault and Miles could not understand why SGR wouldn't follow the court's instructions.

"This reporter is somewhat baffled by the conduct of Ms. Grazzini-Rucki," Miles stated in her report.

Miles even added a bald face lie, "According to reports and court records agreed to Tammy Love having temporary custody of the children in 2012 and at one point agreed to 'give custody to the father.'"

In that same September 5, 2012, telephonic conference, Lisa Henry, SGR's then attorney states, "My client's position is that the children should remain in her care."

Miles does not cite which court records and reports this was in.

The September 5, 2012, conference was not attended by SGR; the September 7, 2012, order, was done based on that conference, and since she didn't attend, SGR could not have given any consent.

Miles claims later, "Ms. Grazzini-Rucki refused to meet with this Guardian ad Litem."

If that's the case, SGR never told Miles that she wanted to give custody to the father and since the custody arrangement was determined at the September 5, 2012, non-hearing, there is no place when SGR made either stipulation.

Miles assertions- that SGR wanted to give up custody to David and she agreed to Tammy taking over temporary custody- are absurd.

If SGR wanted to give custody to David Rucki, why would she have taken her two girls to the horse farm for abused children run by Doug and Gina Dahlen when they ran on April 19, 2013.

She never said this nor did she ever give her consent for Tammy Love to move in.

Maybe, if Miles was qualified to do one of these reports, she might know that none of this is allowed.

New Document Shows Case Fixing in Rucki Divorce

(Minnesota First Judicial District Judge David Knutson)

A newly unearthed document from the divorce of David Rucki and Sandra Grazzini-Rucki (SGR) shows David Rucki knew ahead of time the outcome of his divorce trial. 

In a document David Rucki sent to a school affiliated with the Hosanna Church in Minnesota, Rucki claimed that he had sole custody of his children and his ex-wife, SGR, only had supervised visits. 

G168-1201-0314 (1) by mikekvolpe on Scribd

On page seven of the document above, it states, "father will have full custody, mother will have no contact unless supervised."

That date of that entry is September 5, 2013.

The problem is that the custody trial was not held until September 11-12th of 2013.

If the trial hadn't been held, how could David Rucki be telling people he had full custody.

In fact, the judge who heard the trial, David Knutson, did not render his decision until November 2013. That decision is below.

G168-1201-0371 by mikekvolpe on Scribd

Indeed, just as David Rucki predicted in September, the November 2013, custody order does grant him sole custody while his ex-wife, SGR, was limited to supervised visits and even those required so much therapy and other pre-requisites that she never actually saw her any of her five kids from that moment forward.

However, that order wouldn't come until November 2013 and if David Rucki knew about it in September 2013 that would suggest there was not only ex-parte communication between him and the judge but also collusion.

The custody trial featured a period on the second day when SGR's attorney, Michelle MacDonald, was forced to conduct part of it handcuffed to a wheelchair. See video below, starting at an hour and ten minutes in.

 More on that incident can be found here.

This is also not the first time that it appears that ex-parte communications were occurring in the Rucki case.

For instance, here is part of therapist's notes from Jim Gilbertson, who was court ordered by Knutson to give the kids therapy.

Gilbertson Notes Rucki case by mikekvolpe on Scribd

On page four, Gilbertson states in an entry from September 5, 2012, "I received a call from Ms. Fredderick (sic), guardian ad litem to a family matter in which five children are separated from both parents by court order."

The problem is that the court order he referred to did not come until September 7, 2012. That is below.

G168-1201-0006 by mikekvolpe on Scribd

On September 5, 2012, an unusual, non-hearing, but rather telephonic conference, was held. That is below.

G168-1201-0669 by mikekvolpe on Scribd

On September 5, as his entry, indicates, no decision had technically been made. Indeed, in his September 7, 2012, order, David Knutson ordered SGR out of her home and ordered David Rucki's sister, Tammy Love, to live in the home and take care of the five kids, temporarily at least.

David Rucki was already living in one of the other three homes the couple owned.

So, how did Julie Friedrich know this would be the order, only through an illegal ex-parte communication.

Later on in Gilbertson's notes, there is another unintentional disclosure of ex-parte communication.

Jim Gilbertson notes Rucki ... by mikekvolpe on Scribd

"The court order authorizing the Rucki children to be at the Overland Place came out late Friday.

"I immediately received a call from Ms. Olson stating that she wanted the transfer to occur as soon as possible because of the fear the children will learn of this through some unknown means and will run."

That entry is from April 9, 2013.

Those who know the story well know that the oldest girls were then taken to a police station in Lakeville, Minnesota, on April 19, 2013- ten days after this entry- and then forced to go live with their paternal aunt in their home on Ireland Place in Lakeville. About a half hour after they arrived at their home that day, the two oldest daughters- Samantha and Gianna- ran.

But Sandra Grazzini-Rucki was not made aware of this order on April 9, 2013. Ms. Olson is Nancy Olson, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki's sister; even she was told, but the children's mother was not.

In fact, according to Gilbertson's notes,  everyone was aware what would happen except SGR.

So, again, there is communication between the court and some but not all parties in this case.

Gilbertson, some may know. was accused by Samantha in an audio recording of rubbing her shoulder and back and getting sexually aroused during a break in a court hearing. Audio below and that portion starts at 3:10.

So, that is at least three times when the court illegally communicated with certain parties about upcoming orders but not with others.

Sandra Grazzini-Rucki is a six time felon because after her two oldest daughters ran they called her and she, violating this court order, hid them for approximately two and a half years and thus her ex-husband did not get his scheduled custody time.

All of the illegality in this article has gone unpunished.

I sent an email to Lisa Elliott, David Rucki's attorney, and received no response.

I also sent an email to Knutson who did not respond. Finally, I sent an email to the four Minnesota Judiciary spokespeople- Alyssa Siems-Roberson, Kyle Christopherson, Lissa Finne, and Beau Berentson- but they also did not respond.

On The Shannon Joy Show talking elite pedophile rings in the family courts

A lot of things referenced. So, Judge John Dalton: here are the two articles I've written.

Here is a story about Nicholas Elizondo.

I also mentioned Sunny Kelley and Lori Handrahan; the story, Making Divorce Pay, has that reference. It is here.

I mentioned the study by Joan Meier. Here is that study and the pertinent portion:

The study of Meier and Dickson (2017) on how PAS allegations affect the custody of fathers and mothers yields troubling data. In 72% of the cases in which PAS was legally claimed, the judge awarded custody to the father and removed the child(ren) from the mother. This percentage rose to 100% if the mother argued that the father was sexually abusing the children. It is also interesting, that if there was any suspicion of the mother’s mental impairment, in 50% of the cases, her custody is removed. Meier and Dickson (2017) conclude that the family courts manifest prejudice against women who report abuses by fathers; thus, family courts are potentially hostile places for mothers. Women run a significant risk of losing custody and the courts are especially punitive toward women and children who present complaints of sexual abuse." 

I mentioned the audio recording by Samantha Rucki and that is below.

Also, the CPS reports in which Samantha makes some of these allegations- father making comments about boobs, father running hands up her thigh, etc.

Lisa Elliott Finally Files Against Dede Evavold

                                                        (Minnesota Judge Karen Asphaug)
It appears I have the power to puppeteer corrupt judges and lawyers to act in cases they'd like to ignore when it involves the Rucki story at least.

Last week, Lisa Elliott, who represents David Rucki, filed her response, somewhat belatedly, upon the order of Judge Jerome Abrams.

Judge Abrams had given all parties in her lawsuit against Dede Evavold and several others one month to come to an agreement or to list all the issues which still remained.

Shortly before Elliott filed, I wrote an article on the case in which I noted, "State Farm conferred with the Ruckis’ attorney to discuss a potential joint resolution. Given the Rucki’s counsel this Court asserting that there is coverage under the PLUP,there does not appear to be room for compromise between State Farm and the Rucki’s in the declaratory judgment action. ( Id . at ¶ 10, Ex. I, pg. 1).To date, there has been no response from the Ruckis’ counsel to State Farm’s emails from November 4 and 12, 2019, and December 2, 2019."
I don't think it is very professional for David Rucki and his attorney, Lisa Elliott, to initiate a lawsuit and then stop participating when things get complicated, but at least for now, that appears to be Ms. Elliott's tact. 

The article was written on December 16, 2019; and Elliott had not yet filed her response to this judicial order.

The very next day she did.

I didn't believe the timing was coincidental, stating in part in a follow up email to her (Elliott), "The next day you file something. Is this a coincidence?"

Elliott did not respond. 

Her response also has some interesting tidbits like that Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, technically also a defendant in this lawsuit has never been served, "The Rucki’s have settled with several of the Defendants but have not be able to effect service of the Summons and Complaint on Defendant Sandra Grazzini-Rucki."

Here is Judge Abram's ruling from September 2019, for more on the lawsuit.

Elliott did not note that her client, Samantha Rucki, has also not been served even though that appears to be the case. It's noteworthy that Elliott has been engaging in child support matters with Grazzini-Rucki even as this case has moved forward. 

Here is more on the child support case which only ended in September 2019. 

It's not clear how Elliott could serve Grazzini-Rucki in child support and fail to serve her for this lawsuit, but rules don't seem to be a problem for her and her client in court so I'm sure that Judge Abrams will overlook this oversight. 

What is even more interesting is this not the first time that an article- or in one case an email- by me has caused sudden movements in court by players associated with the Rucki case. 

In late November 2019, I wrote about how Judge Karen Asphaug had popped up on another Dede Evavold matter. 

Evavold is facing criminal charges for violating a harassment restraining order by sending an email to a lawyer. That HRO was implemented because she received a photo, though no one is sure what if anything she did with it.

I noted in that article that Judge Asphaug had popped up on the case. It is not the first time Asphaug has popped up in Dede Evavold's life. 

Earlier in 2019, Asphaug granted David Rucki a fifty year, or one which ends in 2069, restraining order because Evavold repeatedly wrote blog posts he did not like. 

That HRO, granted without a hearing, is below.

Remarkably, the day after I wrote said article in November 2019, Asphaug quietly removed herself from that case.

Then, there is the retired, but awfully busy, Judge Kathleen Gearin. 

On March 2, 2019, I wrote an article noting that she was not making a decision, which should have been due in the previously noted Rucki child support case. 

I noted in part,

It appears the judges handling Sandra Grazzini-Rucki’s child support are not entirely sure what to do.As I recently reported, the judge assigned to the case, Judge Phillip Kanning, is no longer assigned.Meanwhile, a motion first filed in October continues to languish three weeks after a hearing to argue it was held.
That motion awaits a decision from another judge, Kathleen Gearin.
Both Gearin and Kanning are retired judges.

March 2, 2019, was a Saturday. By Monday 4, 2019, Gearin had suddenly made her decision.

Sandra Grazzini-Rucki is homeless, jobless, and has not seen any of her children since 2013, while David Rucki is a multi-millionaire who somehow qualifies for state aid for poor folks known as Minnesota Care, but this did not stop Gearin from affirming a previous order stipulating that the homeless woman pay the multi-millionaire child support.

I discussed the whole child support affair in this interview.

However, the most curious coincidence comes from Judge Asphaug again.

Judge Asphaug, as I noted in this article, seems to always pop up when a Rucki related matter arises.

In 2013, the family court insisted that David Rucki take care of all his children; the courts insisted this despite his history of violence and abuse:  a bar fight, a road rage incident, threatening to kill his in-law, stalking his ex-wife, choking her, and repeatedly violating protective orders.

He also chased after his daughter Samantha on her thirteenth birthday until she barricaded herself in her house. His son, Nico, told CPS that when he was eight years old his father stuck a gun to his head.

The judge, David Knutson, insisted that the five Rucki children must live with their father and ordered as much, or sort of. 

On April 19, 2013, the two oldest girls, Samantha and Gianna, were told they'd be living with their paternal aunt, Tammy, and this would eventually lead to living with their father. 

They were transported by police escort and taken to their home where their aunt awaited. About a half hour after the police left, so did the two girls, who called their mother, or at least the person she was with. Their mother took them to Evavold's who recommend they stay with Doug and Gina Dahlen, a couple living in another part of Minnesota who ran a shelter for abused children; this stayed this way until the girls were found in November 2015. 

Now, all four- Grazzini-Rucki, Evavold, and the two Dahlens- are convicted felons. 

The judge on all four cases is Karen Asphaug, one of many remarkable coincidences. 

Well, Asphaug thought Grazzini-Rucki's crimes were so significant that not only did she sentence Grazzini-Rucki to the maximum, a year and a day, but told her to serve what remained fifteen days at a time, once per year, over a period of up to six years. 

The next year an appeals court ruled this was cruel and unusual punishment and ordered Asphaug to re-sentence Grazzini-Rucki. 

That was in November 2017.

By February of 2018, Asphaug had done nothing. 

So, on February 5, 2018, I sent Asphaug, and approximately forty of her cohorts, an email. Here is part of it, "Here's something I don't understand. According to Sandra Grazzini-Rucki's docket, there was supposed to be a hearing in December to resentence Sandra Grazzini-Rucki. That was after the appeals court decided that the sentence was cruel and unusual punishment. After all, not only did so-called Judge Asphaug sentence Ms. Grazzini-Rucki to the maximum even though she had no criminal record but made her serve her sentence a little at a time over six years. But now that this has been ruled unconstitutional, the judge has done nothing. She's on vacation until February 20 and since cancelling the hearing she has not scheduled a new hearing. Did you know that so-called Judge Asphaug called this the worst crime she's witnessed from the bench. That's how over the top she was when she sentenced Ms. Grazzini-Rucki. So, if it is so bad, why has she failed to resentence her and have her complete her sentence? That appears to be incompetence on a grand scale, the sort which gets judges removed from benches. So, why aren't any other journalists covering it?"

I even attached the docket for the case at the time. That's below and it, at that point, had no movement since December 2017.

Two days later, February 7, 2018, the docket was updated for a hearing to re-sentence Grazzini-Rucki, even though Judge Asphaug was on vacation. The updated docket is below.

I'm happy to play my part in moving cases along though it would be easier for everyone, except David Rucki, if they were just decided honestly.

In case anyone is wondering, Asphaug proceeded to sentence Grazzini-Rucki to the remaining time for the maximum amount. Since Grazzini-Rucki was living in Florida, she began serving her sentence in a jail there; Asphaug insisted she be moved to Minnesota, even though there was less than month left by the time this happened, so Grazzini-Rucki was transported cross country to Minnesota were she completed her sentence.
