I was recently contacted through my work with OconeeNews.org about two individuals facing contempt of court hearings in the Oconee County Probate Court on September 10, under Judge Danny Singleton—the same judge who previously sentenced me and my fiancé to jail in fraudulent contempt hearings that brought into question which district in North Korea we are living.

As I delved deeper into their situation, I discovered that the contempt charges were related to an alleged violation of a court order pursuant to South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure 43(k). This immediately struck a chord with me, as Judge Singleton had previously misapplied this same rule in my fiancé’s estate battle over her late husband. In that case, Judge Singleton issued an order forcing an incomplete agreement, effectively imposing a settlement without the full consent of the parties involved—a move that was outright draconian and unjust. A move he made to help his ally. It is well known by my fiancé and me that Judge Singleton does not respect the law or the well-being of his constituency. We know he will put these individuals in jail if it helps his or his accomplices' agenda.

Oconee is so corrupt that Judge Singleton can count on his friends in the community, police, and upper court to cover for him. He is very comfortable acting with impunity in executing fraudulent orders. This behavior, not only from this judge but this entire Oconee legal community, must be stopped. I am here to serve if anyone needs me.

Similar to my fiancé's case, these individuals had made a partial agreement in Judge Singleton's court. According to them, after the partial agreement was made, an additional eight pages were added to it, which was then signed by the judge without their knowledge or consent. This would be a blatant misapplication of Rule 43(k), which is intended to enforce only complete agreements made in open court. To me, this echoed the unethical behavior we had experienced from Judge Singleton in the past. I was suspicious that Judge Singleton might have a plan to incarcerate these individuals at the behest of an attorney accomplice. It seems they are participants in a plan to extort money from this estate.

I felt compelled to act. I couldn't stand idly by while these individuals' rights were potentially being violated. I produced a sign that read "Judge Singleton is Corrupt" on one side and "Investigate the Probate Court" on the other. I began my protest around 10:50 a.m. on the street outside the probate court. At about 11:30, Judge Singleton himself came out into the street to take pictures of me on his cell phone. He must have been upset about the First Amendment rights given to all citizens.

About an hour into my protest, an officer from the Oconee County Sheriff's Department arrived and entered the court. I later received a text message from someone in the lobby stating that an officer had allegedly said, in front of several witnesses, that he was going to go home, change clothes, and come back to assault me. Alarmed by this threat, I called 911 dispatch to report it.

Approximately 20 minutes later, multiple squad SUVs arrived with a plethora of officers to investigate the threat made against me. While it appeared that significant resources were being allocated, I couldn't help but wonder whether this was a genuine effort to address the threat or merely a way to deflect attention. The waste of tax dollars alone should demand an investigation. There were 14 officers by my count, there for an hour and a half, with about 10 squad cars, all because an officer was accused of a crime.

After some time, I received word that the contempt charges had been dropped without the need for a hearing. I am hopeful that they will be brave enough to come forward and discuss the corruption they observed in the probate court. It seems that Judge Singleton has a pattern of collaborating with certain attorneys, such as in my fiancé's case, and now aligning with others in estate matters.

It is time for us to unite against what we perceive as judicial overreach. I strongly believe that my protest had a positive impact on justice. This is the essence of the American spirit—we, the people, are the defenders of the Constitution. Without our vigilance, there is a risk that corrupt practices could erode our freedoms.
