Civil Case Status Update

in lgbt •  7 years ago  (edited)

Yesterday, I hired a Process Server to serve summonses on two defendants I am suing for violations of the 8th and 14th Amendments to the US Constitution and several rules under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (2003) while I was "housed" in the Essex County Jail a little over two years ago. Doing this pro se is a lot more difficult than criminal law. But I'm trudging along, getting help where I can, and if anyone knows a civil liberties/rights attorney who is licensed to practice in New Jersey and isn't a lazy chickenshit, I'd love to meet them. The following images are of .pdf files representing the papers to be served upon Essex County Department of Corrections and East Orange Police Department:

Christ... this is really sick... and I know it definitely happens to many others, but the papers you have seem to be very well put together and although I have exactly zero experience and knowledge about this, I really hope that you win. They basically arrested you for being trans...

Is there anything we can do to help or support your case?

This is horrible. I am so sorry that we as human choose to treat each other so poorly. The fact is that the hate a bigotry in our country has only been elevated under this current administration. I sure hope you get something from them but I doubt it will happen they will just keep it in court and it is sad that you are going at this alone. Stories like yours hurt my heart .

Damn, girl, this is truly disturbing. I am so sorry you had to endure abuse of this sort, and I wish you the best of luck in the case! heart.gif
