A simple case of breach of contract and misrepresention was sealed in its entirety. No minors, or victims of sexual assault or domestic violence were involved. So why was the case sealed then?

Last week, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) requested … Continue reading Balch Collapse Continues: Gilbert Disbarred; Espy Now Registered Sex Offender; Alleged Tokenism Affirmed
