Subject:
Judicial
Misconduct
by
Judges
Tom
Lytton,
Mary
McDade
and
Daniel
Schmidt
,
in
the
Appellate
Court
of
Illinois,
Third
Judicial
District
RE:
In
RE
THE
MARRIAGE
OF:
MARK
HEXUM,
Petitioner/Appellant
v.
SHERRI
HEXUM,
Respondent/Appellee.
Appellate
Court
of
Illinois
Case
No:

&
Circuit
Court
of
Peoria
County,
Illinois
Case
No:
10-D-633
Ms.
Twine,
In
July
2013,
I
filed
a
complaint
against
the
subject
Appellate
Court
justices
for
corrupt
violation
of
my
civil
rights
in
the
referenced
appellate
case.
That
complaint
was
ignored
and
closed.
I
am
requesting
my
complaint
be
re-opened
and
fairly
evaluated
based
on
Appellate
Court
Judge
Mary
McDades
failure
to
recuse
herself
due
to
her
and
her
husbands
ties
to
Rena,
Drew
and
Rob
Parker.
On
November
23,
2014
the
attached
article
was
published
in
Peoria
Journal
Star.
In
the
article,
Peoria
County
Court
Administrator,
Rena
Parker
states
she
is
forever
in
his
debt
referring
to
Senior
US
District
Judge
Joe
B.
McDade
for
mentoring
Rena
and
launching
her
career
in
1978.
Rena
Parker
is
the
mother
of
Rob
Parker
and
wife
of
Drew
Parker
who
fraudulently
represented
me
in
my
divorce
trial
in
the
Peoria
County
District
Court
on
September
27,
2011.
US
District
Judge
Joe
Billy
McDade
is
married
to
Appellate
Court
Judge
Mary
McDade.
Mary
McDade
was
one
of
three
judges
that
issued
a
blatantly
corrupt
decision
issued
in
the
subject
appeal
that
protected
fraudulent
attorneys
Rob
Parker,
Drew
Parker
and
G.
Edward
Murphy.
Mary
McDade
had
the
judicial
obligation
to
recuse
herself
in
my
appeal
due
the
McDades
long
standing
relationship
with
Rena
Parker,
Renas
son
Rob
and
husband
Drew.
Mary
McDade
failed
to
comply
with
her
the
Illinois
Code
of
Judicial
Conduct.
In
my
appeal
Justices
Tom
Lytton,
Daniel
Schmidt
and
Mary
McDade
did
the
following:
Recommended
waiving
oral
arguments
so
the
truth
was
not
on
the
record.
Based
on
the
clear
facts
filed
in
my
appeal
and
that
the
opposing
brief
submitted
by
law
firm
Murphy
&
Dunn,
P.C.
was
stricken
it
was
logical
for
me
to
accept
their
recommendation
to
waive
oral
arguments.
In
another
divorce
judgment
case
involving
Murphy
&
Dunn
(In
re
Marriage
of
Baecker,
2012
IL
App
(3rd)
110660),
the
Third
District
Appellate
Court,
Justices
Daniel
Schmidt,
Mary
McDade
and
Holdridge
heard
oral
arguments
where
the
petitioner
Garth
Baecker
was
in
prison
for
attempting
to
murder
the
respondent.
It
would
be
prudent
for
the
Illinois
Judicial
Inquiry
Board
to
review
the
number
of
cases
where
justices
Lytton,
Schmidt
and
McDade
recommended
waiving
oral
arguments.
Stated
I
had
competent
legal
representation
through
out
the
legal
proceedings.
My
appeal
was
filed
because
my
attorney
Rob
Parker
told
me
Judge
Risinger
would
award
50-60%
of
my
gross
pay
as
permanent
maintenance
and
Judge
Risinger
issued
a
court
order
stating
he
never
nor
threatened
that.
My
appellate
brief
clearly
showed
Mark
had
a
negative
cash
flow
of
over
$1,000.00
per
month
and
this
negative
cash
flow
did
not
even
include
normal
living
expenses
Mark
would
incur
including
the
expenses
for
the
children
who
lived
with
Mark
and
who
he
had
custody
of
pursuant
an
agreement
of
the
parties.
In
addition
my
brief
stated,
While
it
is
true
that
Mark
was
represented
by
an
attorney,
or
maybe
two
attorneys
at
times,
the
transcript
reveals
that
Marks
attorney
barely
uttered
a
word
and
that
he
permitted
Sherris
attorney
to
do
most
if
not
all
the
talking.
Ignored
that
Judge
Risinger
stated
on
the
record
on
December
5,
2011
that
he
had
no
recollection
of
what
was
said
in
his
chambers
on
September
27,
2011.
During
the
same
hearing
G.
Edward
Murphy
stated
he
was
part
of
it
all
and
confirmed
Rob
and
Drew
Parker
told
me
Judge
Risinger
would
award
50-60%
of
my
gross
pay
as
permanent
maintenance.
Ignored
that
on
January
26,
2012,
Judge
Risinger
denied
my
motion
to
vacate
and
moments
later
he
learned
I
would
file
an
appeal.
On,
February
6,
2012,
Risinger
reversed
his
decision
and
took
the
issue
under
advisement.
On
February
22,
2012
he
issued
a
court
order
stating
I
had
buyers
remorse
and
he
stated
he
never
said
nor
threatened
to
award
50-60%
of
my
gross
pay
and
he
found
that
issue
irrelevant.
Cutting
though
this
legal
quagmire,
a
twelve-year
can
clearly
see
Judge
Risinger
protected
the
attorneys
Rob
Parker,
Drew
Parker
and
G.
Edward
Murphy
and
probably
himself.
Ignored
that
on
February
23,
2012,
Judge
Risinger
stated
on
the
record
the
judgment
definitely
favors
the
wife
and
the
husband
will
have
a
difficult
time
until
the
marital
house
sells.
He
followed
that
profound
comment
with
I
am
very
specific,
very
very
specific
about
child
support
and
I
dont
know
how
I
overlooked
it
in
this
case.
Thats
followed
with
my
ex,
a
little
tipsy
from
a
long
lunch,
threatening
me
on
the
record
and
stating,
you
will
pay
which
was
ignored
by
Risinger.
Ignored
my
financial
obligations
of
my
sons,
my
youngest
sons
right
to
eat
and
both
sons
education
costs.
My
brief
stated,
Mark
also
testified
that
he
paid
for
all
of
his
childs
college
expenses
and
tuition
which
was
$27,200
per
year.
(R117).
That
was
just
for
my
oldest
son.
My
youngest
son
was
senior
in
high
school
applying
to
colleges
at
the
time
for
which
I
also
have
all
financial
responsibilities.
The
appellate
court
judges
ignored
my
sons
to
protect
Rena
Parkers
son.
Insulted
me
in
their
decision
that
is
posted
on
line
for
the
world
to
see
on
my
self
serving
testimony
on
December
5,
2011.
My
self
serving
testimony
was
me
defending
myself
after
being
called
a
bully
by
opposing
attorney
G.
Edward
Murphy.
As
I
have
clearly
stated
Ed
Murphy
is
a
pathological
liar,
a
manipulator
of
the
courts
and
Murphy
and
my
ex-wife
have
been
court
sanctioned
to
do
whatever
they
please
to
me.
Murphy,
with
Judge
Risingers
help,
has
gone
to
great
lengths
to
try
to
push
me
over
the
edge
so
the
corrupt
attorneys
and
judges
get
by
with
their
blatant
illegal
acts.
I
have
fought
court
bullying
and
fraud
for
over
three
years.
Denied
entering
the
June
2012
District
Court
order
and
transcripts
in
my
appeal
where
I
was
found
in
contempt
of
court
and
threatened
with
jail.
During
that
hearing
I
begged
Judge
Risinger
to
look
at
my
financials
where
I
was
borrowing
to
eat,
feed
my
youngest
son
and
had
hocked
my
car
to
stay
out
of
jail.
I
mistakenly
complied
with
that
order
while
I
relied
on
justice
in
Illinois
Third
District
Appellate
court.
Everything
about
my
case
in
both
the
Peoria
District
Court
and
the
Illinois
Third
District
Court
is
corrupt.
My
ex-wife
posting
a
picture
on
Facebook
of
her
and
Mari
Halliday
in
Las
Vegas
three
weeks
after
the
final
judgment
was
entered
explained
my
pre-decided
trial.
Mari
is
the
wife
of
Ronald
Halliday,
partner
at
Parker
&
Halliday
and
the
firm
that
was
supposed
to
represent
me
at
my
trial.
Judge
Mary
McDade
had
a
judicial
responsibility
to
disqualify
herself
due
to
her
and
her
husbands
close
ties
with
the
Parkers:
Rena,
Drew
and
Rob.
The
Illinois
Code
of
Judicial
Conduct
states:
C. Disqualification.
(1) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge's
impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances
where:
(a) the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party's lawyer,
or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding;
Appellate
Court
Judge
Mary
McDade
failed
to
disqualify
herself
given
her
ties
to
Rob
Parker
and
Drew
Parker.
Given
the
facts
in
my
case,
Judge
McDades
impartiality
would
be
questioned
with
out
a
doubt
by
a
non-involved
party.
My
steps
since
reading
the
November
23,
2014
article
have
been
to
file
a
complaint
with
the
FBI,
send
copies
of
my
ARDC
and
Judicial
Board
complaints
to
the
Journal
Star,
post
on-line
comments
on
the
article,
post
comments
on
a
YouTube
broadcast
addressing
Illinois
Judicial
Corruption
(Lanre
Amu)
and
begin
gathering
additional
facts
to
further
document
the
ties
between
the
Parkers
and
McDades.
If
necessary
I
will
post
my
ARDC
and
IJIB
complaints
on-line
with
links
so
they
show
up
whenever
the
subject
appellate
court
decision
comes
up
in
an
internet
search.
Please
advise
the
Illinois
Judicial
Inquiry
Boards
next
steps.
Sincerely,
Mark
G.
Hexum
