ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT REMOVES ALLEGED RACIST JUDGE WHILE BROTHERS AND SISTERS STILL REMAIN SEGREGATED BY RACE
The Illinois Supreme Court has removed Decatur Illinois Probate Judge Albert (A.G.) Webber IV from an Illinois woman’s case. Amy Schneider, a mother of five has been in court trying to regain possession of her two oldest children, Kaela Elizabeth Sliney-Schneider and Joshua Matthew Sliney-Schneider, both Caucasian.
According to an order issued April 20, 2005, by the Illinois Supreme Court, Charleston, Illinois (Coles County) Fifth Circuit Judge Mitchell K. Shick, a Republican, was assigned to replace Webber in the case. “It’s like something you see on TV; Judge Webber operates outside the law, specifically §755 ILCS 5/11-5(
,” says Schneider, “and after Webber is removed his Republican colleagues make sure I am deprived of any access to the court and remain unlawfully stripped of my constitutionally protected rights to a parent child relationship.”
Schneider, who lives in Normal, Illinois with her three younger Black children, has previously filed a complaint with the Judicial Review Board accusing Webber of segregation and racism. “I was not complaining about Judge Webber’s decisions, per se, I was complaining about Judge Webber denying me, a fit parent, due process as required by the constitution,” said Schneider.
“Webber went so far as to fabricate derogatory medical and domestic accusations against me to forcibly keep my children with hostile non-parents so I can’t see them at all. However, the sworn testimonies of a valid Illinois medical doctor and two Normal Illinois Police officers directly dispute Webber’s accusations,” said Schneider.
“Webber is not only crooked, but he is a malevolent crook,” Schneider said. “Court records will prove Webber used his elected state office to circumvent the law, line the pockets of his friends with my children’s money, and manifested racial bigotry to punish me and my young Black children while the Illinois supervising Courts had simply looked the other way,” Schneider claims.
“My two children had never been to San Angelo, Texas when they were abducted by Karen M. Coates without permission or the knowledge of any court on August 28, 2002,” Schneider said. “Webber and his Illinois Republican Party friends have closed ranks, and this is nothing more than two children being for sale, purchased and delivered by the Macon County Decatur, Illinois Court for about $250,000.00.”
An August 22, 2005 hearing has been set in the case.
