Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 NTMCnewsbrief©NTMCnews@... Southwest Missouri News Assoc. SUMMARY JUDGEMENT FILED by Defendants in Carroll-Bower and Lane case for C.O. Poisoning. In May the Greene County Judge ordered new jury instructions by the Plaintiff Bower. The Plaintiff obliged. At this hearing the Judge reset the trial for the 3rd time for November 20-23, 2002. He is up for re-election at this time. Today the Plaintiff recieved from the Defense attorney a motion for Summary Judgement stating that Plaintiffs' did not have medical expert or diagnoses of c.o. poisoning. Lee gave expert testimoney by oral and video deposition which was excluded from the Motion by Defendants. The Motion for Summary Judgement included depositions in part, portioned and incomplete filed by the other side, totally excluding the cross-examination portion of the depositions. Even totally ommitting Lane's deposition from record. One half of Carroll-Bowers depositon ommitted. This excluded much evidence. He excluded medical records, the orginal shut down form issued at that time hole was discovered from the utility company that showed emmissions of 1000ppms of carbon monoxide emission in a approx. 700 sq. ft. apt. The Attorney filed in his summary judgement documents, and exhibits, falsefied and perjured statements by the heating and air conditioning man hired by the apartment management, even after proof of perjury. The Plaintiffs are presently filing a Civil Rights action in Federal Court for Obstruction of Justice, and violation of their VII amendment, the right to a jury trial. In addition the President of the National Toxic Mold Coaltion is filing a Housing Discrimination suit against the owners. On Friday the 31st of May 2002 Carroll-Bower filed a toxic mold claim with State Farm isurance claims office, who returned a letter, saying there was not evidence for claim of toxic mold in said apartment. Plaintiffs are filing a claim against St. Farm Fire and Casualty on Monday for Consumer Fraud. Many complaintants nationwide, are binding together for a class action suit in Federal Court for Bad Faith on Insurers who will not pay claims in a timely or fair manner. Some even refuse to accept claims and turn claims away. The purpose of the class action is to force the insurors to make good on their words, and commercials, " Your in Good Hands " etc. to ensure payment of claims that have caused illness and even death from Toxic Mold and Chemical Exposures. This company and owner have stayed in a constant state of denial. The Plaintiffs can not believe that DEFENDANTS CONTINUE to deny a PRE-EXHISTANT hole in a heating unit is a BREACH OF WARRANTY OF HABITABILITY. Carroll-Bower suffers from Parkinsonism, Willliam Lane, age 10 at time, and Ariel age 7 at time, still suffer Hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue, Multiple chemical sensitivity, inability to regulate body temps, mitral valve prolapses, bladder and kidney problems. Carroll-Bower was a former Professional Ice Skater and her children were active in sports and gymnastics. The girls can no longer participate in sports because of possiblity of heat stroke from Mitral valve prolapses. They are having difficulty with courses in school they used to master. They have no ability to retain the information from day to day. Carroll Bower has an MRI report from this exposure that shows scattered White Matter Brain Density changes. (Brain Damage.) The children have since been unable to secure MRI's or treatment because one of the owner of apartments where occurrence happened is a physician. At the time of the exposures there was toxic mold present in same unit which was simultaneously blowing into the air. Plaintiffs retained physical evidence in the form of pictures, fiberglass with toxic mold present, soot present and a large gallon of water from shampooing the carpet by Plaintiffs at their own exspense that contain almost 80%. Since it has been contained for over a year it is evaporating, and Plaintiffs beleive that is the idea on the part of the Defense to have a later trial again, maybe the rest of the evidence of soot will evaporate. The defendants, destroyed, with their heating and air conditioning man the heating unit containing the hole, the same night while Plaintiffs were in the E.R. Although a Motion for Default Judgement was filed by Plaintiffs' in lieu of the Spoiliation of the Evidence. The Judge denied the Motion in March of 2002. A motion for change of venue was filed and ignored.
