Well, there is no surprise that Judge G. Patrick Hillary's office has not replied to the letter that I sent to his office on
May 1, 2006 requesting a copy of the transcript from the last hearing. This type of conduct just goes to show you what Kent County's intent is. Similar to how Judge G. Patrick Hillary's office reviews a media request, signs subpoenas, and then renigs on the media requests making him look like a complete moron, especially in front of attorneys that have been planted in the audience to observe his behavior and had prior knowledge of what was going to happen. These officials have become more than predictable. Read on for my SECOND request for the transcripts to Judge G. Patrick Hillary's Office. They will likely try and delay these as long as possible which was also anticipated.
