By: Diane Benjamin Continuing story, search Cadena if you want more information on this case. A hearing was held yesterday on a motion to reconsider the sentence given to Michael Cadena for criminal contempt of court. Retired Judge Hill sentenced him to 6 months. The judge claimed legally he can’t and wouldn’t even if he […]
By: Diane Benjamin Another hearing was held yesterday to set a date for Michael Cadena to surrender himself and serve his jail sentence. The date if April 30th. One thing most people don’t know is that Cadena has malpractice case in Federal Court against his former lawyer who failed to tell him (when repeatedly asked) […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below are two emails sent by Jeffry Horve to Michael Cadena concerning Amber Buck and his son Mikey. Horve is the Felony Drug Unit Supervisor and Assistant State’s Attorney for McLean County. It is obvious Horve knew what was best for Mikey, the judges involved made their own decisions. The first two […]
By: Diane Benjamin The concussion will be keeping me from writing much for at least a few days. Here’s a couple of things I couldn’t pass up: As of October 26th, Green Top isn’t close to raising $400,000: Yes they have only raised $141,800 of the needed $400,000. _____________________________ The Pantagraph again let a lawyer […]
Mikey’s dad posted this on Facebook last night. It is reprinted with permission. Tonight, I share my message with a broken heart and so many questions about my missing son. Why were the police able to hand the child over to his mother when she made false statements to them? How was the mother able […]
By: Diane Benjamin The video of Mikey Cadena being handed over to his mom on October 3rd went more than viral over the weekend. It had well over 1 million views. That prompted calls to officials. McLean County was forced by Massachusetts to amend the warrant for his arrest to only Illinois. The District Attorney […]
By: Diane Benjamin Today, at Michael Cadena’s Massachusetts hearing, the Judge offered a $25, 000 bond but only if he was to return voluntarily to Illinois within 48 hours. Michael declined, agreeing instead to challenge the validity of the warrant used to incarcerate him as well as extradition. His next hearing will be November 20th. […]
By: Diane Benjamin As I write Michael Cadena is still in jail in Massachusetts. His son Mikey’s whereabouts are unknown. Amber (mom) Buck’s attorney refuses to disclose this information. Sources tell me that there is a significant question regarding the transfer of the child and if proper Massachusetts procedure was followed or if it was […]
I found out more information on how Amber got Mikey. She waited until the courts were closed and then filed a missing persons report for Mikey. The police told the Cadena family that anybody hiding him would be charged with kidnapping. She then took the police to his house and got him. Since the judge […]
By: Diane Benjamin Last night Amber decided to show up at Mikey’s house with the police and take him. Armed with Judge Hill’s order giving her temporary custody, she succeeded. No Massachusetts court has given her permission to leave the state with Mikey, that could change today. Meanwhile, Michael Cadena is still in jail. […]
By: Diane Benjamin I received the court recommendations for Mikey Cadena by mistake. It was attached to an email the person who sent it must have forgotten to detach it. It was NOT anyone associated with or a member of the Cadena family. Even though it was sent in error, it becomes my property. It […]
From sources in Ma: Amber was denied custody! Change: Michael is not being released today, holding him to determine if warrant is valid. Michael is being released today, judge doesn’t think the warrant is legal! By: Diane Benjamin Amber Buck may have violated her probation with a FAKE call to the police in […]
By: Diane Benjamin Judge Hill is now done with this case. Since she is retiring, the case will be handed to a new judge. Hill cancelled the last warrant for the arrest of Michael Cadena and reissued it. The last one didn’t state is was extraditable and it didn’t state there were no geographic limits. […]
Judge Hill has not seen these videos and Amber Buck’s lawyer successful kept the court in Massachusetts from seeing them. Amber’s attorney complained in court here that he doesn’t have a copy, he got a copy from Michael’s lawyer at the last hearing. The video is numerous calls between Mikey and his mother. Her voice […]
The stay issued by Judge Casey is still in place. Mikey will not be leaving Massachusetts. It will stay in affect until appeals are heard. This is a copy of the judge’s ruling: 2018-09-18 – Decision Judge Cronan Bottom line is he decided Mikey is in no danger right now. Duh. The danger is if […]
By: Diane Benjamin Monday was billed as sentencing day for Michael Cadena on charges of direct criminal contempt. Sentencing was delayed because right now the warrant is mostly meaningless. Just to recap, this is not a custody case! Amber Buck’s side and some other media want you to believe that. This case is about a […]
By: Diane Benjamin Amber Buck’s parents were in the courtroom at last weeks hearing where Judge Hill issued an arrest warrant for Michael. If they had cared more when their daughter was cooking meth and allowing Mikey to be abused, his dad never would have fled to Massachusetts. See this email: Note the date: March […]
By: Diane Benjamin Judge Hill issued an arrest warrant today for Michael Cadena. She wants him dragged back to Illinois and imprisoned.
By: Diane Benjamin Judge Hill may try to issue an arrest warrant for Mikey’s dad tomorrow. The Massachusetts court still hasn’t made a decision from the hearing last Friday, he could void any action Judge Hill takes. The judge promised a ruling by September 10th.
After the dust has settled from Friday’s hearing, I am left with mixed emotions. It was good to finally have an opportunity to present evidence while at the same time it was frustrating that so much was blocked from the hearing. Most of all, I can’t understand why something so simple as doing what is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Summary of today’s proceedings: The hearing lasted MANY hours. Mikey’s mom, Amber Buck, decided not to testify. The feeling from Michael Cadena’s side was she was afraid of facing cross-examination. Michael’s lawyer had a lot of questions ready. Mikey’s doctor, Garfinkle, was allowed to testify in general terms about her experiences with […]
