A filmmaker in New York is planning to shoot a documentary about judicial corruption, focusing on the South in general and Alabama and Florida in particular.
I'm pleased to report that Legal Schnauzer has served as an inspiration for the project, which is in its infant stages. The filmmaker said he plans to focus on at least two of our major storylines and has asked me to send him relevant documentation. I'm gathering information for him at this moment.
The filmmaker first contacted me on January 25, and during our communications over roughly the past two weeks, here is what I've learned:
He has an insider's view of the law and once considered becoming a card-carrying member of the legal "profession." But a personal courtroom experience, one that is pretty similar to mine, convinced him that, in too many cases, the law amounts to nothing more than an elaborate form of taxpayer-funded organized crime.
Rather than joining the criminals, he decided to expose him, via his background in film. He plans for the project to begin as a law-review article, focusing on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Specifically, he plans to examine cases where judges and lawyers have conspired to fix cases. We, of course, have written about numerous such cases here in Alabama.
Prosecutors and the mainstream press often are afraid to tackle judicial racketeering. But our blog has shown that it is a common problem, and we have discovered a kindred spirit in New York.
Can the power of film help clean up corruption that is rotting our democracy to its core. It looks like we are about to find out. And I am pleased that Legal Schnauzer might be able to help make it happen.

I recently viewed American Violet based on events that took place in Hearne Texas. After watching the movie I did a search to see if the film made a difference. Found interviews and videos of Regina Kelly. All is not perfect but the raids of gathering innocent people and hauling them to jail to get Fed. grant money has stopped in Hearne, Texas. This will make a difference. Thank you, Roger.
Looking forward to the movie!
Good deal, James. I should note that it's a long, long way from actually being made--and I'm sure there are many hurdles to getting a project like this completed. Even once it's made, there probably are challenges to getting it before the public. My only role, at this point, is providing public documents about certain cases that we've reported here at Legal Schnauzer. Will keep readers posted as I learn more.
(fist pump) YES!
I was praying for something like this. Hopefully this will help the morale especially people like us who've wittnesed it and experienced it. I also made a comment in another one of your articles referring to this would be a final hope kind of thing like the WM3 who were rescued by documentary filmakers. Aw maybe a stretch but this is a positive thing. Hoping and praying for the victims. Thanks Roger :)
Please alert them to the 19th circuit and Judge Sibley Reynolds. His cozy relationship with attorneys like Chip Cleveland and Kenny James have corrupted the judicial process in that circuit. You cannot win in Reynold's courtroom if you don't hire his friends. Every single time any outsider heads into the 19th, they get home cooked.
Reynolds sounds like he would be a perfect fit for Shelby County.
I am so jealous! Congratulations. Your hard work has paid off. Usually when the bright lights are shone on crooks its the end of the game for them. Main stream media usually doesn't want to publish corruption cases because it exposes their associates.
By the way when the film maker is finished with Alabama & Florida perhaps he would like to come to British Columbia, Canada. We have a legislature which was raided by the RCMP doing a drug investigation which morfed into a scandal about "giving' away our provincial rail company to a "friend" of the premier's, well they say he was the premier's bag man. Then they illegally appointed a "special prosecter", removed a judge from the trial, made a $6 Million deal with the defendants bringing a sudden end to the trial. Oh the defendant insisted all drug charges were dropped against his cousin.
We need more film makers to bring to light these travesties.
I really enjoy your blog. What do Alabama & B. C. have in common, coal mines & politicans.
Hope they bring truckloads of film and tape as they will need it!
About a year ago I read that Oprah's next big project was to do for the documentary what she did for the book. When she learned of Rosie O'Donnell's love of documentaries she hired her to help make her goal a reality.Haven't heard or read anymore about it but the passion of both ladies appeared too strong to not be acted upon. I would contact them about this project.
Also Max Keiser is always going on abouthttp://www.piratemyfilm.com/ Have no idea what it is exactly but might be worth looking into. Max sure seems to be fearless in his approach to what's going on in the world and has come up with some innovative ideas. Pirate my Film might be one worth giving a look.
I am producing a documentary about victims of judicial and government corruption. Please email me at Bill@LawlessAmerica.com if you would consider telling your story for the movie...or simply to direct me to people who should be exposed in your area.
I only have a few Alabama interviews set up so far. I need more.
