Both, Grandmother and Grandaughter had a nice visit, on November 11, 2001. The Price for this, was very expensive for both, due to Grandmother's Son, taking her to Atty Swanson, to draw up a Trespassing Charge, which had to go through the Court System. This was a form of Psychological Abuse, FOR, the Grandaughter and her 80 yr. old Grandmother. Atty Swanson represented this Son, when the Injunction was put against the Daughters, Oct. 2001, also. The Grandmother stated when she was in the Hospital in June 2001, that she wanted all her Family with her, as she loved ALL of her Family.
Grandaugher had flown back from GA, to go visit her Grandmother. (Nov. 11, 2001) We knew that her Grandmother would be locked in the house, as she was in October 2001, when two grandsons went to visit. This exterior storm door was easily opened, as it was October 21, 2001.
Her Grandmother questioned how she had gotten in, since the son always locked her in when he left the house. Although she was very happy to see her Grandaughter. They visited for 2 hours. All the family pictures were still displayed throughout the house.
The following day, (Monday) the Grandaughter went to Shenandoah Dialysis to see her Grandmother before flying back to GA. Again, they had a nice visit. Mother only had the one grandaughter and had always kept in touch. It was prior to coming back to see her Grandmother, when she had called her Grandmother and the uncle would not let his Mother talk to her Grandaughter on the phone. So this prompted the Grandaugher to fly back and visit her Grandmother.
Approx. a week later, the Grandaughter received a Trespassing Charge.

This meant that she needed an Attorney to dispute this ridiculous charge. Therefore, you will see the reply to this below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Trial date was set for January 2, 2002, due to the Grandaughter teaching at GA Tech, in Atlanta, this was changed to June 4, 2002. DUE TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST, Montgomery County Atty Swanson, passed this Case to Mills County Attorney. In a letter to the Mills County attorny, Swanson says, "This woman (meaning my Mother) has been a client of my father's since on or about August 16, 2001." NOTE: Swanson revoked my Mother's Trust within 5 days of knowing her!
The rescheduled trial was held on June 4, 2002. James D. Branan was the Magistrate who conducted this trial. Prior to it starting, a gal came into the room and put a new cassette tape into a Recorder.
This Hearing began with the Grandaughter and Grandmother being represented by different attorneys, they all sat at a table, while Magistrate Branan sat across from them. The Grandaughter described the visit with her Grandmother, as a good visit, on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2001. Grandmother said 'it was a nice visit'. Then the Grandaughter had exhibits of several cards (birthday, valentine, easter and christmas) from over the years, that Grandma had sent her Grandaughter. There was a Thank You letter that her Grandmother had written to her, also. As the Grandmother looked over the cards, to answer the question that her attorney asked her, 'if she recognized these cards and if she had sent them to her Grandaughter'? As she was looking over them, then reading the Thank You letter that she had sent her Grandaughter, for a pretty lap throw / blanket that she received from her. Grandmother commented, 'I really like that blanket'. And yes, these were cards that she had sent her Grandaughter.
All comments made by Grandmother were very favorable. There were several relatives there, watching and listening (including myself), in favor of the Grandaughter. At the conclusion, the Magistrate stated that he would be doing a ruling later.
More than two (2) months went by and there was no ruling, received by the Grandaughter. Therefore, I decide to call Magistrate Branan, and he told me that he hadn't ruled on this case yet. I stated that this should have been a very easy decision. His comment was that he had to go to the Library, to do some research.
That same day, the Grandaughter called the District Court Administrator, in Council Bluffs, who is over the Judges, and explained how it should not be taking this long, for a ruling. By later afternoon, the Grandaughter went into Iowa Courts online, and saw that he had ruled and she was 'NOT Guilty' (acquitted).
The next time, she was in Iowa, she went to the Court House, to get a copy of that Tape, from the Hearing. When the gal went to get it, then was going to replay it, the Tape had been erased! WHY would that have been erased? SO whos idea was it to put this Trespassing charge against the Grandaughter? It was Grandmother's Son who took her to Atty Swanson's office for this Charge. The Son and Atty were doing whatever it took to keep this lady from her Family.
