Sophia Stewart uncovered the fraud in both cases. As you know two sentences of fraud overturns or wins the court case, because a judge cannot aid or abet in a criminal scheme. Sophia Stewart has proven she wrote the Matrix & Terminator. Judge Brooke C. Wells ruled that the evidence (30 counts of fraud & perjury) stand August 11, 2009. Sophia Stewart won both cases and media is welcome to look at the evidence!
A Salt Lake City woman believes big corporations have stolen her multimillion-dollar idea. She sues, representing herself in court. Then, out of nowhere, a top New York City lawyer telephones and says hes heard she might need some help. Soon, she finds herself represented by a cadre of experts.
But these legal experts dont get her story down on paper. They dont interview the other side. In court papers, they essentially admit she has no case. The judge throws her lawsuit out, and the woman becomes a national laughingstock.
If that sounds like a movie plot, it soon will be. A small British production company is working on The Sophia Stewart Story. Its about the Utah screenwriter who claimed in a failed lawsuit to have written treatments that became the Terminator and The Matrix movies. Stewarts story has reached cult status, spawning Internet conspiracy theories. Now, two years after her case was dismissed as bogus, Stewart is back in court alleging there was a conspiracythis time, by her lawyers.
Stewart is suing her former lawyers, charging malpractice, breach of contract and fraud. The lawsuit, filed July 30 in U.S. District Court of Utah, additionally alleges the attorneys conspired with other unknown persons with the purpose and intent of sabotaging her case.
I paid these guys $50,000. They didnt do anything, says Stewart. Her original 2003 case against Warner Bros., Terminator director and co-writer James Cameron, as well as Andy and Larry Wachowski, the brothers who brought The Matrix to the big screen, boiled down to comparing the work shed sent to Hollywood against the movies. But Stewarts lawyers didnt enter any of the movies into evidence. U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Morrow wrote there was no way to make a comparison.
Stewart filed her case in 2003, but when it came time for trial two years later, her attorneys hadnt interviewed any of the producers or directors she was suing, her new lawsuit alleges. They postponed Stewarts own official pretrial interview so often that the judge finally banned Stewart from testifying, writing, none of the evidence she submits may be considered. According to court papers, her lawyers waited to ask Hollywood for information until the day on which all pretrial investigations were due. The judge ruled it was too late.
Yes, she lost her case, in large part, because she wasnt even able to tell her story, says Ted McBride, Stewarts new Salt Lake City attorney. She would have been better off without these lawyers. Their utter and complete failure to do anything to protect or advance her interests in that case leads me to believe they never intended to do so.
Most damaging to Stewarts case was her lawyers lack of response to a key pretrial questionnaire from the other side. Such questions are called requests for admissions and, in Stewarts case, lawyers for Hollywood asked her to admit she never wrote The Matrix or Terminator, to admit the producers of those films never had access to her work and to admit her work was nothing like either film.
Since her lawyers never responded, the judge had no choice but to assume the statements were truethat Stewart had admitted she made the whole thing up.
Denying Stewarts lawyers extra time to prepare for trial, Judge Morrow criticized the overall manner in which plaintiff has prosecuted the action, missing deadlines, seeking extensions and generally ignoring the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and court orders.
In her original lawsuit, Stewart claimed she wrote a detailed movie idea called The Third Eye about a future Earth ruled by machines and a boy born to save mankind, sending it to a Hollywood studio in 1981 and later to the Wachowski brothers. The producers of the Terminator movies said Stewart had no proof her work ever reached James Cameron. The Wachowski brothers denied ever having seen Stewarts work.
Court documents show Stewarts case ending in a complete meltdown. Her attorneys kept asking for delays and offering excuses: One of them had a heart attack, another left the case and had to be replaced, the replacement lawyer didnt understand the court deadlines. The judge didnt buy it, writing that even if there were problems with one of the lawyers, Stewart had four attorneys working her case.
Only one of the four defendants returned a telephone call from City Weekly. Gary Brown, of Pasadena, Calif., said his role was ministerial. The actual trial preparation was the job of other attorneys from New York and Washington. Brown was brought in because they needed an attorney with a license to practice in California, where the original suit was filed.
That said, Brown sticks up for all the lawyers. For her [Stewart] to be poking at us in this way is very unwholesome. These are all very good lawyers and not lazy people.
In her new lawsuit, Stewart asks the court to order her previous lawyers pay her attorney feesthe ones she owes to Hollywood. When her original case was thrown out of court, the judge ruled Stewart should pay Hollywoods attorney costs of $305,000 as punishment.
McBride, Stewarts lawyer, notes the court argument about who wrote The Matrix and Terminator is overand Stewart lost. But he still intends to prove through the new lawsuit that her original claims were true, then show her the money.
He is going to do what Stewarts original lawyers allegedly didnt: question Warner Brothers, Cameron, the Wachowski brothers and others in Hollywood to prove that, if not for Stewarts former lawyers malpractice, she would have won the original case. Then hell ask Stewarts old lawyers to pay her the equivalent of the millions the studios would have owed.

I pray all is well. I heard about Mother Sophia's case and fight for justice and have been listening to some of the radio interviews on YouTube and posting on Facebook since I learned of the case. I am overjoyed to hear that she has prevailed...on my birthday no less. I'll be re-doing my video lesson - "What Is the Matrix?," which I was working on tonight and sharing this news with the students I teach at the independent school here in Baltimore, as well as in the forum I frequent. Sister, I wish you and your family the best of the best that this life has to offer in the days, weeks, months, years, and life-times to come. You are my hero and I am certain you and your story will be an inspiration to generations to come. Thank you. Thank you. And, thank you. Ase!
The fact is that True Americans obey the Constitution as do True Brits the 1700 Settlements Act.: The Courts in the States are run from Britain true check out
Late Justice William Wayne’s rulings and comments in the James and Sharon Patterson, (Case 6:97-CR-51) if you can find it open to the public that is. True .
You will find his appeal listed for public viewing but the documents of the original trial hidden away as THE COURTS IN THE STATES are run by Britain as is the Welfare also run by the FAKE “Queen” of England {Britain). Check out the www.Social Security (United States) Act 1997 which was passed illegally by the Queen which states how much welfare you are entitled to . Although Opsi has suspended it you can ONLY see the amendments online at Opsi and the full Act on other sites such as: http://www.civil-liberties.com/books/.
NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT THE QUEEN IS A FAKE - true ---listen Melrose place has nothing on this scandal. The True heir to the Throne is one Micheal Abney Hastings who is currently playing Moses in the Wilderness that is Australia.. gudday mate [hey bud ]come and take the throne will ya so we can all pay our taxes to the rightful heir.
Not only is Elizabeth Saxo Coburg {A.ka Windsor} not the Righful heir [- a claim which historians support and one which 10 Downing Street nor Buckingham Palace has NOT REFUTED]..she has forefeited the 1700 Settlements ACT which governs how Royalty rule if they are true British that is see it here :[ http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?activeTextDocId=1565208]
‘NO Protestant Monarch can continue on the Throne if they communicate with the Pope and all things papist.’ True they forefeit the Crown and all Citizens are not to pay heed to such a monarch nor any laws passed by such a one nor pay taxes etc.
From Lines 10 downwards.
The "queen” met with the Pope in 1980 had VESPERS {prayers with HOly Communion ) in a Catholic church and has an Embassy in the Vatican LOL - I don’t know what communication is if not all of that?!!
Ms Stewart won her case rightly and fairly as given by the Copyright ACT even if we have to go back to Queen Annes Act she won IT.
p.s Anon cos I cant be bothered in sign in !
Sincerely
Elizabeth F Obisanya.
