No one can ever take away from Gerry the fact that he put the Affirmations into the court record and showed the world the evil of L. Ron Hubbard. Conversely, no one can deny that Gerry took an $800,000 payday from Scientology. Had Gerry stopped there and abided by the contract he signed, his legacy would have been established.
Instead, he breached a legally enforceable contract and the Cult took him to court and won. Gerry lost in Appeals Court; the California Supreme Court rejected his petition to be heard. Gerry's legal case came to a dead end. Gerry fled the US rather than serve 28 days for contempt of court. Since he breached his contract with Scientology, Gerry has always been free to speak, write, and travel as he pleases. His only restriction is that he cannot enter the US because he is a fugitive with an arrest warrant.
No one can undo Gerry's fugitive warrant as it is a matter between Gerald Armstrong and the State of California. Further, the only party that can release Gerry from the contract he signed is the Church of Scientology International and that will never happen. Ken Moxon just renewed CSI's judgment against Gerry for another ten years. With interest, Gerry now owes CSI ~$950,000.
Gerry tied his own hands. He can't file any legal actions in the US because the Fugitive Disentitlement Doctrine prevents him from doing so. Fugitives cannot evade the law and also seek to use the law to their benefit.
When Mike, Marty and the others came out in 2008, Gerry began a series of attacks that have never ended. Gerry demands justice for himself when he, in fact, got $800,000 in justice. Gerry has attacked too many good people for three decades now because we don't agree with him or his arguments. Gerry has been at war with good people for a long time and uses his blog to continue his personal attacks, slanders, and lies. Gerry is running a classic program on those he deems to be enemies.
Gerry has protested for decades that he was illegally recorded by OSA operatives in Griffith Park. And yet when Corey Andrews illegally recorded Karen, Gerry quickly posted the illegal recording on his blog. This makes Gerry a staggering hypocrite and fraud in my book. He screams about injustices done to him while he is a scofflaw; a fugitive from justice; and has now acted in concert with others as an accessory to a crime, to wit:
California's wiretapping law is a
"two-party consent" law. California makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or telephone call, without the consent of
all parties to the conversation. See
Cal. Penal Code § 632. The statute applies to "confidential communications" -- i.e., conversations in which one of the parties has an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation. See Flanagan v. Flanagan, 41 P.3d 575, 576-77, 578-82 (Cal. 2002). A California appellate court has ruled that this statute applies to the use of hidden video cameras to record conversations as well. See California v. Gibbons, 215 Cal. App. 3d 1204 (Cal Ct. App. 1989)... In addition to subjecting you to criminal prosecution, violating the California wiretapping law can expose you to a civil lawsuit for damages by an injured party. See
Cal. Penal Code § 637.2.
