Dear Justice Mulligan:

I spoke to your aide yesterday because I hadn't heard anything regarding my very serious allegations. Has judge Barbalunga been put on administrative leave yet, pending the results of your investigation? Your aide told me you would probably be sending the material to the Commission on judicial conduct. Well, dear sir, that is where I started. The only reason I have come to you is because I have exhausted all other possibilities. It isn't like they even pretended to do an investigation. They just outright refused to do one. That, as you know, is against the law.

A woman from Virginia called me last night. She said my story is all over the internet on many web pages. That doesn't do much for the Commonwealth's reputation. No wonder this was the only state that had a decrease in population. There are no jobs. The courts and the police and the politicians are corrupt. The tax rate is out of this world. The cost of housing is way out of reach for the average family. It used to be that people would flock to Mass, because it was so easy to get welfare; but that isn't even true anymore. I can't think of one reason why anyone would want to live here.

The woman who called me said she has a similar incident involving Judge Barbalunga's corruption. She said she put in multiple complaints about him. I bet you ten dollars that if I request that paperwork pursuant to the public records act, I will be told there has never been a complaint about him. Isn't that what shredders are for. But she is willing to give me an affidavit for my lawsuit. Isn't that a shame.

Sincerely yours,

Linda Hamilton
