The two numbers that matter
4 for 4Every time a person actually looked at J.J. in my care, or at the facts, it went my way: the spring welfare check (nothing found); the deputies on Aug. 19 (nothing found); Judge Sloan on July 6 (finding in my favor); the July 3, 2025 hearing (sole custody to me).
0 for 0Not one adverse ruling in this record followed an actual look: no notice, no hearing, one-line denials, a petition never calendared.
Two sheriffs, two prosecutors, six courts, 2,213 pages.
