Re: Federal crimes committed under Color of Law within the Washtenaw Probate Court, Ann Arbor,
Michigan.
I write in support of my mother, Roberta M. Asplund, and other alleged victims of the Washtenaw
Probate Court's treatment of individuals who have had professional attorney guardians and/or
conservators appointed over them within that court during the tenure of Judge Julia Owdziej.
My immediate concern is to request emergency investigation and action to stop certain violations of
law against Roberta Asplund. Roberta has suffered great emotional abuse, life-threatening physical
abuse, financial abuse and exploitation, and unnecessary loss of her freedom, her lifestyle, her home
and almost all of her possessions. These things were done under Color of Law, but were criminal in
nature, intent, and affect.
Roberta is 93-1/2 years old, in relatively good physical condition for her age, and sharp witted. She has
not been diagnosed with any mental illness, dementia or Alzheimer's disease, not anything related. She
has been deemed “appropriate for her age by her medical doctor. And yet, Roberta has been wrongfully
exploited and abused after being wrongfully determined to require the protections of guardianship and
conservatorship. Under these court facilitated “protections” she has lost her freedoms and civil rights,
everything she owns and her entire future unless the Federal Government steps in to save her.
I allege that several Federal crimes against my mother, especially Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 -
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law and Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 - Conspiracy Against
Rights. In addition, a great many State of Michigan laws have been violated.
The basic matter is one of systematic Elder Abuse and Exploitation. Color of Law has been used via
guardianship by attorney Georgette David, conservatorship by attorneys Kathleen Carter and Joelle
Gurnoe-Adams, and by Judge Julia Owdziej to remove Roberta Asplund's Constitutional Rights under
the 13th and 14th Amendments by placing her under permanent and full guardianship and
conservatorship when it was not appropriate. The following violations have been admitted in court
testimony by the guardian and conservator. Violations of law and due process by Judge Owdziej to
specifically abuse Roberta Asplund by Depriving her of Federal Rights without just cause through
wrongful appointment of guardianship and conservatorship, and to enable and defend and support the
appointed fiduciaries in their efforts to strip Roberta of all home, property and personal possessions
without medical or physical need, and with financial need only created artificially by the fiduciaries to
produce that outcome include:
These items amount to Kidnapping and Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law by guardian
Georgette David:
*Falsifying information on a Petition to Remove Roberta by Force from her home for Assessment and
Treatment for Mental Illness.
*Intentionally not identifying required family and interested persons, so removal in secret.
*Isolation and Restraint of the individual, first in hospital and then in facility. (In hospital included a
Wander Guard).
*Restricting the individual to hospitalization under wrongful “Social Admission” for 12 days while she
sought a mental facility placement.
*Intentionally Removing Roberta by force to a Mental Facility for Alzheimer's and Dementia patients
when doctors had not found that Roberta had any of these, and claiming under oath in testimony that it
was done in secret in order that family not find out.
*Secrecy and isolation was so complete that Roberta could not send or receive mail, was allowed no
telephone or internet, was not allowed outside the facility unless under guard, was not allowed to visit
her church or have visitation by her Pastor, and was not allowed statutory privileges of visitation or to
be interviewed by family or their attorney for legal matters.
*Roberta was visited by the Long Term Care Ombudsman and when she awoke her computer to show
the Ombudsman something she had been working on, an image of Roberta and the Ombudsman
appeared. This indicates a strong likelihood that the device was being used by a 3rd party for illegal
electronic eavesdropping.
*Roberta has spoken to Petitioners in the courthouse and claimed her rights are being violated, that she
wants another attorney, and that she is being assaulted. When Police officers and other officials have
been sent to check on her and inquire about this she is reluctant to discuss it. This indicates a possibility
that Roberta feels intimidated not to tell officials for fear of retaiation.
*The guardian has been made aware that multiple life-threatening assaults in the form of fist pounding
on the head at the site where a large tube enters the top of the skull into the cranial cavity have occurred
and continue to occur. The guardian has insisted on leaving Roberta in this danger, in a place where the
guardian has admitted under oath in court testimony and her own Annual Report that Roberta does not
mentally or physically need to be.
*I allege that Kathleen Carter conspired with Georgette David and Joelle Gurnoe-Adams to wrongfully
remove Roberta from her home in order to sell it, and to create contention for financially exploitative
reasons.
*Roberta has been stripped of her estate of two houses, property, and almost all of her personal
possessions under the claim of needing to pay for care services, property taxes, and other fees, yet the
conservators have paid few of these debts. They have paid themselves and their associates instead.
*Kathleen Carter placed Roberta Asplund's home for sale in early November 2018 following a filing of
a Petition to Remove her and Georgette David for Cause. The timing is significant because a few days
later guardian Georgette David falsified a Petition to Remove Roberta from her home for Assessment
and Treatment for Mental Illness. This strongly indicates conspiracy to deprive Roberta from her home
by fraud.
*Kathleen Carter has testified that she has used many thousands of dollars of her own money to clear
and alter Roberta's home for resale. Ms. Carter thus must sell the home in order to recover investment
and profit. Other than as Professional Conservator, Ms. Carter has no other connection to Roberta
Asplund.
*Kathleen Carter has found a buyer for Roberta's home at $140,000.00 under the sale value of the
home and has Petitioned the court on June 28, 2019 to sell the home at that price. The potential sale of
the home after modest refurbishment would be over $700.000.00. Ms. Carter has chosen to sell the
home to The Millman Group, a company that remodels homes, and we strongly suspect would provide
a substantial kickback to the conservator and co-conspirators. The owner, Darren Millman apparently
has multiple reports on his criminal record according to Truthfinder.com.
*Kathleen Carter disposed of Roberta Asplund's personal possessions without consultation or consent
of her ward. This is a form of Elder Abuse because Roberta's memories and personal pride are
associated with her photographs, furniture, memento's of achievement, and documents of her career.
Such loss is devastating to her emotionally.
Washtenaw Probate Judge Julia Owdziej is allegedly complicit in the abuse and exploitation of
Roberta Asplund, based on observation, based on court actions, records, and denials of statutory
rights of Petitioners and of Roberta Asplund:
*Judge Owdziej refused to permit Roberta to obtain an attorney of her choice, instead Ordering her to
accept a court attorney. That Court attorney has been viewed making strategic plans with the fiduciaries
on trial for Removal for Cause. Roberta has exclaimed in court many times that her same court
appointed attorney was not representing her needs.
*Judge Owdziej previously appointed another attorney for Roberta who also acted in support of the
court appointed fiduciaries and against the needs and wishes of his client during a Petition to Remove
the guardian Georgette David and the conservator Joelle Gurnoe-Adams.
*Judge Owdziej did not follow proper MI laws and due process, nor was Roberta Represented by a
legal professional who did not work for the court, when she appointed a guardian and conservator for
Roberta. There was no doctor or other medical professional's testimony, only a single short letter from a
doctor saying that following a placement of a shunt to cure hydrocephalus, it was not known what
Roberta's healing prognosis would be.
*Judge Owdziej refused to hear any of multiple Petitions to Terminate the classification of Roberta as
Mentally Incapacitated.
*Judge Owdziej denied all if many Petitions and requests in court to provide protections for Roberta,
for Roberta's Federal Civil Rights, and MI Statutory Rights.
*Judge Owdziej unreasonably delayed hearings and obstructed justice by denying due process to
litigants working to help Roberta.
*After proper Bond on Appeal to the CoA, Judge Owdziej insisted that multiple hearings continue to be
held in her Probate court, and when Petitioners were ordered to appear, Judge Owdziej then claimed
that their Appeal to the CoA was “Abandoned” because they appeared.
*Judge Owdziej refused Petitioner's request to place a temporary guardian and conservator over
Roberta while the trial for Removal for Cause was underway.
*When the guardian Petitioned to Resign after the trial for Removal for Cause had commenced, Judge
Owdziej asked the guardian Georgette David to continue as guardian during proceedings. This allowed
the guardian to bill Roberta for her own defense.
*Judge Owdzie approved the Annual Review of guardianship while the guardian was 3 months into a
trial for Removal for Cause, and the guardian had already admitted under oath in court testimony to
acts which are felonies.
Conclusion:
Whatever Judge Julia Owdziej's reasons, it is obvious that she is defending, supporting, and enabling
the guardian and conservator to destroy the life of an innocent citizen. It appears to be obvious
corruption.
The FBI and DOJ should also use this as Probable Cause to obtain warrants into the financial
transactions of Judge Julia Owdziej, Kathleen Carter, Joelle Gurnoe-Adams, the owners and/or
company The Milner Group, Realtor Adam Eichman, and other possible conspirators in Washtenaw
County Probate corruption which has caused Elder Abuse and Exploitation, Kidnappings, Murder, and
Wrongful Imprisonment under Color of Law. The FBI and DOJ should also look into similar
occurrences of the same in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties in Michigan. Similar acts also occur
in other States, especially Florida, Nevada, and California.
When you investigate this matter you will open the door to expose the serious, life-threatening
corruption and abuse of other vulnerable individuals in Washtenaw, the surrounding counties, and
eventually other States of the Union.

Hi Randy -
I just saw your email re: being in Sweden. That was me who left the tel message -- thanks for notifying through
Probate Warriors! We can connect when you return.
Right now I'm trying to absorb the vast amount of info published by Harold Jackson. The PAG is all new to me --
so much is happening at once, but I printed about 90 pages of Harold's complaint and other info and am trying to
absorb!
There's a lot of networking and info being shared in Washington, DC this week at Whistleblowers. I can't attend
but do have contacts there. So many groups and advocates are connecting and somehow we have to end this
syndicate.
My father's parents both emigrated from Sweden and while a cousin has spent much time there I haven't yet
visited -- honestly, I've thought of moving there!
Your mother's situation is urgent. She's a sentient, isolated elder in dire jeopardy of forfeiting her home to
strangers who at the moment are trying to sell this real estate prior to hearings on their removal. As such, it will
give these "failed fiduciaries" a lump sum to mismanage for their enrichment while condemning your mother to
institutionalized living. Such is contrary to her wishes and intentions. (I'm going by memory on Facebook
posts...). Anyway, with the last minute shenanigans my idea was to plead for immediate intercession by the
Elder Justice Coordinator (usually an assistant U.S. Attorney) because all your attempts at the state level have
failed (probate) and this blatant trickery/elder exploitation warrants federal intervention. Everything about this
elder's life and estate hinges on needed relief pursuant to the provisions of Senate Bill 178 signed into law by
Pres. Trump in Oct., 2017.
I printed out your email w/letter to President -- definitely agree with flooding them all with correspondence, etc.,
because this "beast of probate" must be ended. It's trafficking of the vulnerable, it's pulling innocents off the
streets, etc., etc.

Hi Sharon,
I'm very glad you saw my email and were able to respond. I was worried that you might think I
blew you off because I didn't call back on the phone! We're over for my wife's brother's
wedding and because her dad is seriously ill. Back on the 7th.
We might or might not have a probate hearing coming up. The judge is so incredibly corrupt
that she is trying to trick us into forfeiting our appeal and allowing the house to be sold without
us having a chance to defend against it. And of course, mom has been denied the right to an
attorney of her choice by the judge, who refused to allow her to fire her attorney and replace
him with one funded by the State specifically to help people in her situation.
I'm at my wits end. My attorney is very good, but even she is overwhelmed by the level of
corruption we are experiencing here.
I'm attaching a proposal/draft for a letter to the FBI/DOJ. We've been turned down by both this
whole time. But without actual help from the State AG or any law enforcement, I cannot think
of anything else. If you would care to share an opinion on it, I would be most grateful.
