Summary:
Annabel is a computer professional, born in Cameroon, who has livedand worked in the Chicago area since 2003. From December - April,2006, she worked for the Save-A-Life Foundation (SALF), a nonprofitwhose charter was to teach first aid to children in public schools.Founded in 1993, SALF was a member organization of the FederalEmergency Management Agency and over the years received close to$9 million in federal and state funding. Since November 2006, SALFhas been the subject of about a dozen news reports around the countrythat raise serious concerns about the organization's claims, activities,and finances.In October 2006, Annabel was charged of destroying SALF's files,among them financial records. Those charges were entirely based onclaims made by SALF's founder/president Carol J. Spizzirri of Grayslake, IL. According to multiple news reports, Spizzirri has ahistory of serious fabrications, including the false claim that she is aRegistered Nurse; that she worked as a renal transplant nurse in aMilwaukee hospital; and that she earned a BSN degree from aWisconsin college whose name she misspelled on her CV. According toa recent sworn affidavit, in 1985 a Milwaukee court-orderedpsychologist, Dr. Burton S. Silberglitt, diagnosed Spizzirri as "paranoidschizophrenic."Nevertheless, based on Spizzirri's word, the offices of Illinois AttorneyGeneral Lisa Madigan and the Cook County Prosecutor have indictedher. Facts indicate they have done so in order to cover-up SALF'slongstanding relationships with powerful political cronies and funders.These include Attorney General Madigan and her father Mike Madigan,longtime IL House of Representatives Speaker of the House andChairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois.After more than three years of such legal harassment, this site waslaunched in an attempt to bring public attention to this abuse of the legalsystem. Illinois taxpayers may wonder why the state's top lawenforcement officer and Cook County Prosecutor Anita Alvarez areexpending so much time and public money to prosecute this trumped-upcase against her rather than investigate what happened to the millions of tax dollars that went to the Save-A-Life Foundation.
