This is so sad. As the home owner was in the hospital (and later died) This person took up residence in her home, damaged the home and when he left he stole her car and many items. I think he already collected his $400K
Amusing that the squatter sued for LOSS OF SOCIAL STANDING. I suppose being a SQUATTER who's lost the house he was squatting in, would make him an object of derision in the squatter community.
Not trying to take attention away from this story but I have another one that's not equal to but is news worth when it comes to wasting tax payers money. So first off you have to be in the correct frame of mind, which is, Wendy (or as Eric Ross says, the dead woman) was my common law wife and the property in question was where we both resided. So this entire story is a lie and that's why it doesn't make sense. If I moved in that home after Wendy's death and stole her car the cops would obviously have arrested me… Then, not being able to arrest me for that, some other charges were trumped up which not only did I not do but I was actually helping the alleged victim. So I'm sitting in jail trying to learn the law to understand how the he'll all this could be happening to me. I requested to use the jails law library and I requested some envelopes so I could write some attorneys asking for help. The lady in charge of those request was Janet King. She refused both my request so I filed several grievances trying to obtain the two items I needed. Evidently she is related to some man of power so no one would go over her head to give me an envelope. Allow me also to remind you using the library would obviously be free, but an envelope would cost approximately less than a dollar. Once my grievances were denied my only option then was to file a complaint to the district court to ask them to make her give me the envelope. Typically to defend a civil action an attorney would charge $10k-$50k. This burden is born to the El Paso County Attorneys Office. I assumed they would see the issue and instantly give me an envelope then case closed we all go home for under $5k. But boy was I wrong… Turns out there was over one hundred filings and then the case after a year ended up in the court of appeals. I'm not sure the cost to draft briefs in the Colorado court of appeals but I'd estimate around $50k. The county attorneys office has managed to rack up at least $75k in tax payers money and after its all said and done guess what happens if they actually do win? Yep, I'm not going to get an envelope. But the case is far from over and they could very well end up blowing another $75k going to federal court after the state level is cashed. Now I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but if I had the power to determine the proper allocation of tax payer funds how many would have opted to surrender the envelope, shit I might even throw in a stamp for good measure. Now that's a story.
Of course inmates know how to play the system. That's probably why they're in prison to begin with. They have nothing but time on their hands, so they learn very quickly how to twist things to their advantage. He should get another 3-5 years added to his sentence but sill probably just get a slap on the wrist for bringing a fraudulent civil suit to the court.
Squatter rights…

He is looking at more charges……useless.
Please sue the judge
Eric Ross, you are a saint! Cheers to you from New York!
