Hour
Three
Jerry O'Neil is a state legislator in Montana.
In his own words - “A couple of items that might
be of interest to you include why I chose to challenge the
established legal system and what I have accomplished after more than
30 years of battle.
Between 1975 and 1979 the attorneys I retained to
represent my children and myself against a cult did nothing for over
2 1/2 years. During this time members of the cult, in violation of a
known court order, traveled from Idaho to Montana with the intent to
indoctrinate my children in their dogma. While this allowed a longer
length of strain and emotional damages to us, the Idaho Supreme Court
in O'Neil v Vasseur, protected the monopoly and threw out my case
against the attorneys.
Not being able to retain another law-firm to pursue
the case against the cult it was necessary for me to litigate it by
myself without an attorney. After a 6 day jury trial my children and
I received a million dollar jury verdict. The defendants moved for a
judgment not withstanding the jury verdict which the judge sat on for
over a year before granting.
I appealed the judgment notwithstanding the verdict
and the Idaho Supreme Court initially denied my appeal on July 23,
1986. I moved for reconsideration. The attorney who handled my Idaho
divorce and helped me get custody of my 5 children informed me he had
received word the Idaho Supreme Court wanted to reconsider their
opinion but was unwilling to award a $1,000,000.00 verdict to someone
who represented their self without an attorney (pro se). Therefore I
was forced to have an attorney sign on to the appeal and then the
court reinstated my cause of action for invasion of privacy.
When the reinstated cause was sent back to the
district court I timely recused the judge who had taken so long to
wrongly decide the case. After losing the judge who was predisposed
to their arguments the defendants requested he put himself back on
the case to hear their motion to dismiss the case. After he put
himself back on the case and dismissed it, the Idaho Supreme Court
overturned the dismissal. The justice, whom I believe passed down the
word to me that I would have to engage a licensed attorney to prevail
on the case, stated in his concurring opinion,
"Moreover, the particular district judge
who granted the motion and vacated the judgment directed by this
Court, had been timely disqualified from acting further in this
case."”
