It was a union made in hell; greedy relatives and the Probate Court system unite The strange thing about Probate Court--are you aware that you could end up there even if there is NO decedent? In this true life crime and courtroom drama Mrs. Chism shares her story and what led to her being suspected of premeditated murder, poisoning, kidnapping, starvation, adultery, extortion, isolation, theft, elder abuse, and a murder-suicide plot. Once these accusations were lodged against her, she found the family embroiled in a brutal and bitter courtroom battle. Not Criminal or even Civil Court, but as you will read--Probate Court--because the accusations raised doubt in the court's mind. Therefore, allowing for greedy relatives to attempt to gain complete control over another individual's life and finances. Crimes were committed, but not by the accused, but rather the accusers and their accomplices. Unfortunately, this is not as uncommon story as you might think. You too could become an unsuspecting victim of the grave and perilous Probate Court system. Mrs. Chism says, I was a loving wife with a husband that adored me. It was effortless to maintain a happy marriage because we used the Bible for our instruction manual. My husband was a dedicated chiropractic physician and I was the "other half" of our business. So how--after 27 years of this marvelous union did I find myself accused of MURDER or attempted murder, as no one was dead; and WHY? This was a nightmare, but I wasn't sleeping. This book is about a terrorist plot, even though, inconceivably our enemy can be kin-folk. It is about a court system that was designed to protect vulnerable persons, and its utter frailties resulting in unalterable devastation.
