Time has run out for Mezzacappa
Time has run out for Mezzacappa.

Not that there was much appeal to start with.

When the initial verdict against Pro Se “extraordinaire” Tricia Mezzacappa was handed down for defaming local blogger, Bernie O’Hare, she posted numerous comments, on numerous blogs and websites, using numerous identities, that it would never stand. Continue reading

Pennsylvania Needs A Vexatious Litigant List

frivolous
PA is drowning in a sea of frivolous and nuisance lawsuits.

People abuse the court system.

Sometimes for no other reason than to be a pain in the ass, or just hoping that by using a shotgun approach something might actually stick.

I had never heard of a “Vexatious Litigant List” before this week. Pennsylvania doesn’t have one, that’s for sure. Continue reading

Lies From Tricia Mezzacappa On The Express Times Website

LiesEarlier this month I posted an article on dealing with a sociopath. It apparently hit a nerve with Tricia Mezzacappa, who posts comments to numerous blogs and websites using fictitious identities, or simply anonymously.
