WIsconsin Court of Appeals District II Rules That Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael J. Aprahamian Branch 9th Erred In Removing Full Custody Rights Of Four Special Needs Children From Their Mother Julie Valadez

Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II ruled that Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Aprahamian erred in removing full custody from the mother in a divorce case and awarded full custody of their children to the father who was found to be a known domestic abuser and couldn't prove in court that he had complied with state law by submitting to a state certified batterer's treatment program and completing the program as required by law.

Madison, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II ruled in favor of Julie Valadez in the Waukesha County divorce appeal case Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez #2020AP001006 in regards of being prevented by Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael J. Aprahamian decision to remove Julie's custody rights of her four special needs children and granting full custody to her ex-husband Ricardo Valadez who is a known domestic abuser and abused alcohol, according to court records. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals in a 15-page decision ruled that Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Aprahamian erred in his decision to allow Ricardo to have sole and full custody of the children when he couldn't prove that he had submitted to a certified batterer's treatment program as required by state law. Ricardo had testified in the divorce case that he took some counseling from someone that he knew, but the person in question never testified in court nor was any credible certified treatment program documentation introduced in court that Ricardo actually complied while Judge Aprahamian presided. In his ignorance of the law, Judge Aprahamian decided with the ill advise of attorney Molly Jasmer, the Guardian ad Litem to give full custody of the four children to Ricardo, the domestic abuser against the best interest of the children while Julie continuesouly objected to no avail.

Julie later appealed Judge Aprahamian's erred decision to remove her from full custody of her children and was also prevented multiple times (numerous months) from seeing her own children.

In one incident, one of Julie's kids was in the hospital and Jasmer falsified a document and send it to the hospital instructing them to prevent Julie from visiting her son in the hospital. Julie reported the incident to the Waukesha Police Department and police were unable to get a copy of Jasmer's false document from the hospital preventing Julie from seeing her son while at the hospital undergoing treatment.

Editor's note: 

It's unfortunate that none of the mainstream local news TV stations (6, 4, 58 and 12, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and others including Wisconsin Telemundo and local newspapers failed to cover the corruption and illegal acts by Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael J. Aprahamian and attorneys involved in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case. Shame on all of them. Is it because family court illegal family separations is not news worthy to their viewers and readership?

Wisconsin State Senator Lena C. Taylor (D-Milw) Circulating Nomination Papers For City of Milwaukee Mayor 2022

Taylor to circulate her nomination papers to get 1,500 signatures in order to be placed on the February 2022 Primary Ballot for the Mayoral race in Milwaukee.

December 25, 2021

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Saturday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that Wisconsin State Senator Lena C. Taylor (D-Milw) will begin to circulate her nomination papers to get her required 1,500 signatures needed to get on the February 15, 2022, Primary Ballot for the City of Milwaukee Mayoral race. Sen. Taylor ran against incumbent Mayor Tom Barrett in 2020 and today, Taylor is the 8th candidate to announce that she is a candidate for Mayor.

Taylor has been on the current news fighting for Black and Latino majority redistricting districts in the State legislature and for the Milwaukee Latino community to gain a third Aldermanic majority district while Governor Tony Evers (D) has been doing the opposite, which Evers has openly favored and continues to promote the People's Maps Commission redistricting maps that dilute both Black and Latino majority voting-age populations in the State Senate and Assembly districts located in Milwaukee.

The two high vote getters in the February Primary Election in 2022 will face off in the April General Election.

Taylor, if elected Mayor in the City of Milwaukee on April 5, 2022, the General Election, she will become the first Black woman to be elected as Mayor in Milwaukee.

Mayor Barrett resigned as Mayor on December 22, 2021 to become the next U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg under the Biden administration.

Milwaukee Common Council President Cavalier Johnson was sworn-in as acting City of Milwaukee Mayor. Johnson who is also a candidate for Mayor is now facing a federal lawsuit filed on December 15, 2021 by the Original Black Panthers and the Brown Berets who claimed that Johnson used Milwaukee police officers on October 16, 2021 to deny both groups access to an open Town Hall meeting at the Redemption Lutheran Church in Milwaukee. Acting Mayor Johnson is certainly no friend to the Black and Latino communities and his decision to deny access to both the Original Black Panthers and the Brown Berets to attend a Town Hall meeting to address community issues affecting them only shows how Johnson is no friend to either communities.

Gutierrez-Vera later stopped at S. 15 and W. Mitchell Streets when Vellon spotted the couple. Vellon shot multiple shots at the couple inside the truck and fatally struck Gutierrez-Vera at least 5 times and grazing his wife in the forehead.

Vellon was detained a few days later and admitted to police that he had shot Gutierrez-Vera over an accident near S. 16th Street and W. Burnham in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Original Black Panthers And Brown Berets Filed Federal Lawsuit Against Milwaukee Common Council President Cavalier Johnson, And Milwaukee Police For Denying Entry And Participation To An Open Town Hall Meeting In October

Both the Milwaukee Original Black Panthers and Brown Berets in a filed federal lawsuit claimed that on October 16, 2021 several Milwaukee police officers prevented them from entering a public Town Hall being held by Milwaukee Common Council President and Alderman Cavalier Johnson at the Redemption Lutheran Church that was open to the public.

December 19, 2021

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, both Darryl Farmer, the Executive Director of the Original Black Panthers and Walter Garron, the Executive Director of the Brown Berets in Milwaukee announced that a federal lawsuit was filed on December 15, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin against Milwaukee Common Council President and 7th District Alderman Cavalier Johnson and the Milwaukee Police Department claiming that Johnson held an open Town Hall meeting on October 16, 2021 at the Redemption Lutheran Church, 5641 N. 68th Street and were repeatedly "denied entry and participation" to the meeting by police. A female police officer confronted members of the Original Black Panthers and Brown Berets as they entered the building to participate in the open Town Hall meeting, but the police officer stopped them and told them that Milwaukee Common Council President Johnson didn't want them to participate and that Christian Winkel, the pastor of the church wouldn't allow them access to participate in the Town Hall meeting while other organizations from the Black community were allowed to participate.

In a flyer that released by Milwaukee Common Council President Johnson made it clear that it was an open Town Hall meeting and no restrictions were included in the flyer prior to the meeting.

According to the federal lawsuit, both Farmer and Garron are claiming that their 1st and 14th Amendment rights were violated by Milwaukee police and Johnson and seek compensatory damages for both by a jury including attorney fees, also a Consent Decree that Farmer and Garron rights including their groups rights won't be violated in the future, according to the federal lawsuit filed by Attorney Walter W. Stern III, who is representing both Farmer and Garron.

Motion To Vacate Waukesha County Court Branch 9th Illegal Order Prohibiting Divorced Mother, Julie Valadez From Seeing Her Child Filed

Motion to vacate order dated April 13, 2021 that was filed on Friday at the Waukesha County Clerk of Courts, which claims  Waukesha County family Court Judge Aprahamian from Branch 9th erred in his decision to prohibit divorced mother, Valadez from seeing her autistic son without any due process, also without holding any court hearings to determine, if parental rights warranted prohibition by State law to end parental rights for Julie and instead Judge Aprahamian made his decision to prohibit Valadez from seeing her son based on Guardian ad Litem attorney Jasmer's filing to prohibit Valadez from seeing her son based on unproven allegations and hearsay, according to a seven page filing by Attorney Sulton representing Valadez.

December 18, 2021

Waukesha, Wisconsin - On Friday, Attorney William F. Sulton from the Sulton Lawfirm LLC representing Julie Valadez in the Waukesha County case Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez #2018FA000296 filed a Motion For An Order Vacating The Order Of April 13, 2021. Attorney Sulton claims that Waukesha County family Court Judge Michael J. Aprahamian erred in his decision to prohibit divorced mother, Julie Valadez in April from seeing her son Ethan who is autistic without ever holding a court hearing as required by State law to determine, if Julie would actually have her parental rights removed and would be prohibited from seeing or visiting her son unsupervised. But instead, Judge Aprahamian allegedly based his decision without any due process, nor did he held any court hearing for Julie to challenged his decision based on Guardian ad Litem (GAL) attorney Molly Jasmer's unproven allegations and hearsay filing to prohibit Julie from seeing her son.

The 7-page motion to vacate the April 13, 2021 decision by Aprahamian is no doubt evident that Aprahamian erred in his decision to prohibit Julie from seeing her son without due process or any evidence that would legally prohibit Julie from actually seeing her son.

Julie in her determination as a mother to see her four autistic children, which has not been allowed to legally see them for over nine months has done everything right to legally challenge Judge Aprahamian without anyone holding the judge accountable for his alleged illegal decisions to prohibit Julie from seeing her children in the divorced case. Julie has even exposed GAL attorney Jasmer for allegedly filing a false order with a local hospital to prevent Julie from seeing her own son while being treated. Julie filed a Waukesha police report about the incident and police weren't able to get a copy of Jasmer's false document prohibiting Julie from visiting her son at the hospital that was filed by Jasmer.

New Video Shows Attorney Jason Cleereman And His Wife Were The Aggressors Who Pursued Black Bicyclist After A E. Brady Street Rage Encounter Ending In Cleereman's Death

The Black suspect, Theodore Edgecomb claims that Cleereman and his wife pursued him after a street rage encounter and he felt that his life was in danger so, he fatally shot Cleereman in self-defense.

December 8, 2021

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Theodore M. Edgecomb, 31, the alleged suspect who fatally shot immigtation attorney Jason T. Cleereman, 54, on September 22, 2020 after an E. Brady Street rage encounter is claiming that he shot Cleereman in self-defense. A new recently released video clearly shows that both Cleereman and his wife, Evanjelina Cleereman who was the driver pursued Edgecomb who was on his bicycle and riding away from them.

The video shows Cleereman get out of the vehicle and encountered Edgecomb. Edgecomb says that he feared for his life and that Cleereman yelled a racial slur and said that he wanted to kill Edgecomb. Cleereman apparently reached in his pocket during the encounter and Edgecomb believed that he was reaching for a weapon. Edgecomb then took out a handgun and fatally shot Cleereman in the head and fled from the scene. 

The police report mentioned that Cleereman had a folding knife in his pocket and that he was intoxicated at the time. Also, that inside the Cleereman's vehicle police also found open bottles of alcoholic beverages.

A witness claimed that Cleereman stood in a position to fight Edgecomb before he was shot.

It seems that Cleereman's wife, Evanjelina might not have been telling the whole story and the video that was recently released allegedly contradicts parts of her version of what actually happened.

Police haven't confirmed, if Evanjelina was also Intoxicated at the time when she was driving in September 2020.

Wisconsin court records show that, Edgecomb was free on bail for two cases, one in Waukesha County for carrying a concealed weapon (misdemeanor, 3/4/2020) and the other in Milwaukee County for one felony count of battery including a charge for domestic abuse (12/15/2019), which conditions of bail in both cases prohibited Edgecomb from possessing any weapons. 

Black Community activist Tony Lowe posted the recently released video on his Facebook account showing the Cleereman couple pursuing Edgecomb and wrote that Edgecomb shot Jason Cleereman on the Holton Bridge in Milwaukee in self-defense, which Edgecomb's lawyers contend in court records which detail a new narrative for a jury to consider in the deadly September 2020 encounter.

Documents filed by Edgecomb's lawyers in recent months claimed the criminal complaint against their client did not include critical information they believe supports their approach of an affirmative defense.

On October 2, 2020, Edgecomb, was charged in Wisconsin with one felony count for 1st-degree reckless homicide, including use of a dangerous weapon, one felony count for bail jumping and one misdemeanor count for bail jumping in connection with the September 2020 homicide of Cleereman.

If convicted on all counts in Wisconsin, Edgecomb is facing up to 60 years in prison on the first homicide felony count, up to 6 years in prison and $10,000 in fines on the second felony count and up to 9 months and $10,000 in fines for the third misdemeanor count.

WI Courageous Divorced Mother, Julie Valadez Who Had Her Four Kids Illegally Taken By Alleged Corrupt Waukesha County Family Court Judge Michael J. Aprahamian And GAL Attorney Molly Jasmer Continues To Expose Plight In Facebook

Valadez has had the courage to expose the blatant illegal acts in the Waukesha County family court Branch 9 and its alleged corrupt Judge Aprahamian on her personal Facebook account and the mainstream media has yet to report on the case.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

December 5, 2021

Waukesha, Wisconsin - In the State of Wisconsin, there's apparently no type of accountability against corrupt judges on the bench who at times illegally legislate from the bench and manage to fall between the cracks of justice with virtually no accountability to prevent further Judicial abuse of victims, especially domestic abuse victims seeking a divorce from their abusive and alleged alcoholic spouses.

In the Waukesha County case Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez is an example of such Judicial abuse in Wisconsin by a presiding judge who illegally renders acts that have resulted in preventing Julie from seeing her four autistic kids, since getting a divorce from her abusive spouse. Ricardo has had a history of domestic abuse, alcoholic related court cases and etc., but yet Judge Michael J. Aprahamian from the Waukesha County Court Branch 9 allows him to have access to his kids, which Aprahamian has prevented Julie, their mother from having access to her own kids. 

Also involved is Guardian ad Litem (GAL) attorney Molly Jasmer that Aprahamian assigned to the case who was allegedly accused by Julie of creating a false document order that was submitted to a hospital that prevented Julie from seeing one of her kids when he was admitted. Eventhough, Julie reported the incident to Waukesha police, police and the hospital couldn't produce the false document GAL attorney Jasmer submitted to the hospital without the signature of a judge court order at the time.

This is just a taste of the alleged massive corruption by Judge Aprahamian and GAL attorney Jasmer, but Julie in her personal Facebook account has continued to expose her plight and she had done everything right to file complaints and legal challenges to no avail. Apparently, it seems that there's no real accountability for judges in Wisconsin even when laws are on the books to prevent Judicial abuse, but who holds who accountable? 

The most interesting situation about the Julie case is that no local mainstream media has taken interest in reporting such alleged corruption that definitely involves the Waukesha County clerk including the Waukesha County D.A. who wrote Julie a letter saying that no-wrong doing is occurring (an alleged cover-up?) and the failure to investigate what Julie has been going through for months going on more than a year of suffering from the Waukesha County Judicial abuse that has kept her from seeing her kids.

Judge Aprahamian has held no court hearings to determine, if Julie has actually lost her parental rights to see her kids. It is apparent that Aprahamian has prevented Julie from seeing her kids without any legal due process as guaranteed by both the U.S. Constitution and the Wisconsin State Constitution and state statues.

On August 25, 2021, a motion to vacate Post Judgement order of August 13, 2021 was entered by Attorney William Green  in the Waukesha County divorced case of Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez #2018FA000296, which was reviewed by Judge Aprahamian on August 26, 2021 and denied by Aprahamian as not in the best interests of justice or the best interest of the minor children, according to Waukesha County court Branch 9th records.  Julie Valadez claims that Judge Aprahamian erred on his judgment of motion because he could not enter the best interest standard to violate parental rights as cited in the U.S. Supreme Court decision dated June 5, 2000 in Troxel v. Grandville that, "Parents have a fundamental right to control the upbringing of their children, and a law that allows anyone to petition a court for child visitation rights over parental objections is unconstitutional and infringes on the right. Courts may not use "best interest of the child" standards to overturn parental rights." 

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) first exposed Julie's plight on August 18, 2021 with full coverage of the divorce case and alleged illegal acts by Judge Aprahamian and attorneys involved.

Where's the Constitutional adherent Justice for Julie and her kids?

Detroit, Michigan - The Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) confirmed that both James Crumbley and Jennifer Crumbley were arrested on early Saturday in Detroit. Detroit police arrested both the Crumbleys in a basement at the 1100 block of Bellevue where their vehicle was located after someone recognized the vehicle and called in a tip that led police to that location.

The Crumbleys were being sought on felony warrants stemming from four felony counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Tuesday's mass fatal shooting at the Oakland High School by their 15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley who fatally shot four students in cold blood and wounded multiple others.

According to the OCSO, the Crumbley's withdrew $4,000 from an ATM on Friday and were on the run. The OCSO, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Services were conducting a nationwide fugitive search for the Crumbleys.

The OCSO reported that Jennifer texted her son after engaging in the mass school shooting and getting arrested that, "Lol, I'm not mad, you have to learn not to get caught."

Ethan, a sophomore student from Oxford High School was charged Wednesday with multiple felony counts of 1st-degree murder and terrorism causing death. He allegedly took a 9mm handgun to the school, shot multiple students and teacher around 12:55p.m. on Tuesday, according to the OCSO.

Ethan's father had purchased the handgun four days before the mass shooting. Authorities also alleged that weapons and ammunition at home were easily accessible to Ethan, which under state law both parents can be charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the Oxford High School mass shooting. 

The Crumbley's are known Trump supporters.

Oakland County District Attorney Karen McDonald on Wednesday filed the following charges against Ethan, who was charged as an adult: 

- (1) Count of Terrorism Causing Death
- (4) Counts of First-Degree Murder
- (7) Counts of Assault with Intent to Murder
- (12) Counts of Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony

Additional charges may be forthcoming pending the results of the full investigation.

The deceased victims were identified as Justin Shilling, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17, all students of Oxford High School, who succumbed to their injuries on Tuesday, the OCSO reported.
