Read the following extensive comments by Shelton and read the links to other documents - especially the appellate brief. You will be shocked at how this decision has NOTHING TO DO WITH FACT OR LAW - BUT IS AN AD HOMINEM ATTACK OF DEFAMATION AGAINST SHELTON BY CORRUPT JUDGES IN THE APPELLATE COURT.

Read the appellate brief by Shelton and you will see the court illegally ignored all case law, facts from the court record and transcripts, fabricated false statements about defendant Shelton and essentially made a fraudulent ad hominem attack on Shelton. Appeal of Wrongful Conviction - Battery - IL Appellate Court 07-3386 - Shelton - Illinois 2009

For documents proving the above see links in following comments and on a post about this at: http://cookcountyjudges.wordpress.com

This act of lawlessness by Justices Terrance Lavin, Nathaniel Howse Jr., and James Fitzgerald Smith is an impeachable offense and I call for such. I will be appealing this grotesque, unjust, immoral, and outrageous decision to higher courts and publicizing this corruption widely. Justice is a myth in Illinois. Retaliation against whistle blowers trying to expose corruption is the rule.

Therefore their opinion and order of affirmation of the conviction are void due to U.S. Supreme Court holdings that orders are void if they violate the U.S. Supreme Court precedent or law.

The judges ignored the law and case law quoted by Shelton from the U.S. Supreme Court and higher IL courts, flippantly stated that Shelton’s 18 arguments were “baseless” and thereby violated their oaths of office to follow the law and the constitution, which amounts per federal law to an act of treason by a judge.

Shelton appealed and the Illinois Appellate Court on May 14, 2010 issued an outrageous ruling affirming the conviction. It amounted to an ad hominem attack against Shelton using false statements, fabricated by the appellate court judges, about a series of bogus and void contempt convictions including the above conviction by Pantle, which were NOT part of the trial record on appeal.

This biased the jury. Shelton was then illegally sentenced to two (2) years in prison, causing her a civil death, destroying her license and career in medicine, leaving her in poverty, exacerbating her health problems, destroying her family, causing her father to suffer such stress in accelerated his death, and proving IL is the most corrupt state where justice is a myth.
