Judge Antonio S. Nicholson is INCOMPETENT

Donte Terray Sales, my rapist and sexual assaulter, walked into a court proceeding with zero legal counsel, completely convinced his un-counseled ego could out-smart me. I'm just a little lady after all. 


He knew he'd successfully intimidated his other victims and that I'd likely be the only one to show up as I was the only one who refused to succumb to his and his family's intimidation. 


He intentionally tried to deploy a procedural ambush by hiding evidence:

• The Sworn Declaration: 
In my civil case, Donte Terray Sales executed a formal "declaration of completeness" under penalty of perjury, explicitly swearing to the court ledger that he possessed "no documents at all."

• The Blindsiding Ambush: 
He then turned around in his parallel Civil Stalking Protection Order (CSPO) case and voluntarily produced the exact physical documents he swore did not exist. He wanted to surprise me with records he claimed I wrote, but instead, his own file-stamped submissions physically proved he likely committed a deliberate, felony fraud under R.C. § 2921.11 (Perjury). An innocent person tells the same truth consistently across both dockets—they don't play two separate courtrooms against each other to hide files. When I brought this up to him at the CSPO hearing,  he stated, "Why does that matter that's a different case?" He admitted he lied in two different court rooms on purpose thinking it wouldn't matter because the cases were different. 

If I wrote those documents then why hide them from me?
It doesn't make sense. 

 

2. The Blinding Incompetence of Judge Antonio S. Nicholson

When I presented this absolute mountain of perjury and witness intimidation to Judge Antonio S. Nicholson at the August 3 hearing, the judge completely panicked. To protect the defense circle, he shut down my microphone and shouted a completely nonsensical excuse into the record: "We're not hearing that... Mr. Sales is not even a party to this case."


This single statement is a catastrophic display of baseline legal illiteracy permanently preserved on a certified trial transcript:

• The Black-Letter Law: 
Under Ohio Civil Rule 45, trial subpoenas exist for the exclusive, explicit purpose of commanding actions from non-parties.

• The Absolute Absurdity: 
If Donte Terray Sales were a party, I would have served standard party discovery like Interrogatories under Rule 33. For a sitting Common Pleas judge to host a hearing specifically slated to handle witness subpoenas, and then claim a witness is immune from scrutiny because he isn't a party, completely flips American civil procedure upside down.

 

 

This is How Psycho this Judge Is. Reality just was not within his grasp. The Judge wanted mental health records from me (and none exist as I have zero diagnoses or treatments) but I think the people of Cuyahoga County deserve his!

Judge Antonio S. Nicholson:
The August 3 hearing is about witness subpoenas. 

Me: 
A witness committed cross case double perjury in response to a subpoena. 

Judge Antonio S. Nicholson:
That non-party witness that you have to subpoena because they're a non-party witness is not even a party to this case. 

He literally says the non-party witness is a non-party witness so we're not hearing about his subpoena (a subpoena is exclusively for non-party witnesses) response! 

💀 <--- my face

And I end up just laughing periodically throughout the hearing because it was all so stupid. How did he pass the Bar? Is it that easy?

 


This Judge is absolutely INCOMPETENT. 
His logic is absolutely ABSURD.
He is completely EMOTIONAL and IRRATIONAL. 
He doesn't seem to understand the most basic rules of civil procedure.

 

Lock him up with the delulu rapists he excuses with his incoherent reasons.
