Even in Homicide of a Elder by a man 40 years younger. Sad to say that my dad was proud to be a American, a past fireman, and had a passion for his work. He took exceptional care of his property and a small business man in Riverside County. He built Race cars and was a famous builder of dragsters, off road cars and Jet cars that held 6 land speed records. The audio of the sheriff interview of the killers father has him tell who in the DA office will help him to get this covered up. Now even going to court the Supervisors are trying to have a false statement put into court to prevent justice. It is very ugly. People need to be active in holding officials accountable. Nye and lee Frank never had a problem with the law. They never guessed this would happen. The killer was so savvy he bent down and bragged how he strangled and used judo moves on the elder, avoiding the video he thought.

With all due respect to Dr. Herbert Modlin, his thesis does not do justice to the manyinnocent accident victims who suffer pain in silence, with indescribable sadness and with despair.Reactions to traumatic events effect people biologically, psychologically and socially. As23Hoffman, et al., state ,24"At the psychological level, traumatic reactions affect thinking, feeling andbehaviour. In the acute phaseafter a period of shock theremaybe anxiety, insomnia,nightmares,sensitivityto noise, fatigueandpain intrusiverecollectionsofthetraumain thoughts or images, either spontaneously or when reminded of the trauma. In thelong term there may be emotional disability (with or without physical injury) that iscomplicated by depression, irritability, philosophical pessimism, loss of hope anddecreased expectations in life, which eventually lead to personality change."(Underlining mine)According to Hoffman et al., "accident victims may feel uncontrollable anger (similar tovictims of crimes), guilt and self-blame (like victims in child abuse) or passivity, futility anddemoralization (similar to some Holocaust survivors). Unfortunately, the victims of civilianpersonal injuries tend to feel isolated and alone in their pain because there are no group experiencesor social support system to allow them to share their experiences with other victims."25How then, does plaintiff's counsel go about establishing and building a claim for emotionaldistress? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 11 (1998) 38 O.R.

Claims for emotional distress unadorned with any physicalcomponent resulted in the claim being dismissed.However, if the emotional distress claim could be characterized as a "chronic pain claim"with both physical and psychological aspects, compensation was permitted (see in this regard,Chrappa v Ohm).During the OMPP era plaintiffs' counsel went to great lengths to meld26psychological distress with a physical component in order to be free of the rigid straightjacket of theOMPP threshold.With Bill 164, which took effect on January 1, 1994 and governed motor vehicle accidentcases until October 31, 1996, there was no impediment to obtaining compensation for a "seriousimpairment of an important physical, mental or psychological function".

Riverside DA office kept saying Nye had a heart attack and no injuries. They originally refused to release the sheriff report and autopsy. They said Lee Frank just imagined that Ty was beating him up for such a long time. The prosecutor Daiama Calhoun said she did not care what the autopsy showed she made up her mind. Mike Rushton her manager sealed the autopsy xrays and lab to prevent the family access to them. He claimed privacy. Imagine he is a judge now. See my letters to the DA victim advocate Kim Emmerling. Mike finally admitted Nye was strangled. But he was so confident in his ability to block Lee Frank from Justice he did not care.

Nye Frank worked all his life to build his reputation by results and hard work. Night before he was murdered he stated how important his reputation was. The Riverside Press Enterprise put a false story in the paper 5 months after Nye's death on the front page. The DA office released Nye's autopsy to the Press before the family. The family had to get the National Organization for Victims to call the Sheriff to say they are illegally not releasing the reports to the family. Autopsy states no heart attack and there is zero evidence of Nye Frank ever being in a fist fight. There is only evidence of a attack. Internal affairs also released the audio and video to the family. The audio has Phil Reddish the killers dad tell the head detective and the prosecutor about the DA Rod Pacheco's friend and how he is going to help him. Also the sheriff video has Ty bend down to avoid the video and ask the officers if he should tell how he choked the old guy with judo moves taught by his dad the Norco High wrestling coach.

Section 402 allows a court, in its discretion, to award attorneys' fees to a prevailing party in suits to enforce the voting guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, and statutes enacted under those amendments. This section is similar to provisions in Titles II and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibit discrimination in public accommodations and employment, and to Section 403 of this act (the coverage of which is described below). Such a provision is appropriate in voting rights cases because there, as in employment and public accommodations cases, and other civil rights cases, Congress depends heavily upon private citizens to enforce the fundamental rights involved. Fee awards are a necessary means of enabling private citizens to vindicate these Federal rights. It is intended that the standards for awarding fees under sections 402 and 403 be generally the same as under the fee provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. A party seeking to enforce the rights protected by the Constitutional clause or statute under which fees are authorized by these sections, if successful, "should ordinarily recover an attorney's fee unless special circumstances would render such an award unjust." Newman v. Piggie Park Enterprises, Inc., 390 U.S. 400, 402, 88 S.Ct. 964, 19 L.Ed.2d 1263 (1968). . . . In several hearings held over a period of years, the Committee has found that fee awards are essential if the Constitutional requirements and Federal statutes to which sections 402 and 403 apply are to be fully enforced. We find that the effects of such fee awards are ancilliary (sic) and incident to securing compliance with these laws, and that fee awards are an integral part of the remedies necessary to obtain such compliance. Fee awards are therefore provided in cases covered by sections 402 and 403 in accordance with Congress' powers under, inter alia, the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 5. As with cases brought under 20 U.S.C. § 1617, the Emergency School Ai

These laws provide protection through the Court, including Orders of Protection and criminal prosecution. Each county in Illinois has a designated agency to investigate reports of abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation of persons age 60 or older. These agencies also assist persons in obtaining needed services. The Elder Abuse and Neglect Act The Purpose of the Act This statute assures that local agencies will be funded by the Illinois Department on Aging in order to offer help to persons age 60 and older who may be abused, neglected, or exploited by family, household members, or caregivers. Any person who suspects the abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of such a person may report this suspicion to the designated local agency. Any person making a report under the belief that it is in the senior's best interests is immune from any criminal or civil liability, or professional disciplinary action on account of making the report. The identity of a person making a report cannot be disclosed by the agency or by the Department on Aging to anyone else unless it is with that person's consent or by court order. Certain kinds of persons are required by law to make reports if they suspect abuse of a senior and have reason to believe that the senior is unable to seek assistance for himself or herself. They are called mandated reporters. Examples: Social workers, policemen, teachers, and doctors are mandated reporters. Note: The law exempts attorneys, legal service providers and bankers from mandatory reporting. The Procedure When A
