09302009 - Ex's Criminal Case - Notice from court - Ex's conviction / sentencing for violation PPO/Threatening to kill me

09212009 - Ex's DV Criminal Conviction - PPO as condition of probation

Judge Thode did his best to try to protect me from my ex, when he issued this protective order in addition to the PPO I had obtained in August 2007. However, Magistrate James Johnson would also ignore and refuse this PPO. 

Each time my ex violated the provisional order, he was violating the original PPO,  the second PPO, and the conditions of his probation.

Two PPO's in place and conditions of probation that my ex abide by all laws/court orders - ALL ignored by my ex AND Magistrate James Johnson.

09212009 - Ex's DV Criminal Conviction - Violation of PPO / Threat to kill me

Ex and his attorney showed up for September 21st divorce court hearing at the Valparaiso court house - figuring that Magistrate Johnson would once again refuse to honor the Portage court house / Judge Thode's arrest warrant for my ex.

Soooooooooo, my divorce attorney - John Rhame - had a sheriff deputy arrest my ex as soon as he showed up at the Valparaiso courthouse = no chance of Magistrate Johnson protecting my ex.

Porter County sheriff deputy handcuffed my ex and hauled his butt to the Portage courthouse. After one year of hearings on this case, it was the first time my ex appeared in court on the criminal charges.
