Shepard made a reoprt with recomendations for making Indiana's local government more efficient,effective,UNDERSTANDING ,AND ACCOUNTABLE. Well he needs to practice what he preaches.I took my case all the way through all the courts and they are all corrupt and unjust.Because of them,and now him.I AM A MOTHER OF 5.But on the paper I got threw the mail from the supreme court.They say I am the mother of 4.And this is America?How do I tell her twin brother?and her sisters??And my heart?Just a mother who will always care and love.You know the same ones who try to teach their children that this is a fair and just system?When really it's Not.

Robert Orr (R). The conservatives on the court, led by former Justice Pivarnik, did everything they could to personally destroy him.
