The case is in the LA Superior Court. Remini’s lawyer immediately asked for a new judge after the case was assigned. They got Judge Barbara Scheper.
Now Scheper has recused herself and I can tell you why: her husband, David Scheper, a lawyer, has been on the Scientology payroll for years. He’s represented them in a bunch of cases.
Outrageous? Yes. because here in the real world you wouldn’t think of normal lawyers defending a cult. But in Los Angeles, where most of this nonsense goes on, Scientology spreads its money around so well that even people with values can be infected.
The same goes on in places like Clearwater, Florida– Scientology headquarters — and in Michigan where Scientology is trying to spread its tentacles.
Creepy? Very. The LAPD and Sheriff’s offices reportedly have been infiltrated over the years by Scientology money. No one will do anything to find Shelly Miscavige, the missing wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Remini is determined to uncover that mystery, too. It’s hoped she can find an impartial judge. And maybe it’s time to look back into Judge Scheper’s cases, as well.
Here’s one example of Scheper’s work.
