Deranged Cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt Humiliates Himself in Maryland Court

Bill Schmalfeldt: ‘Brain-Damaged Troll’ (Image via YouTube.com)

From today’s Viral Read report on the latest Brett Kimberlin news:

Kimberlin personally handed a copy of the 48-page complaint to blogger John Hoge this morning at a Maryland court hearing where Kimberlin’s associate Bill Schmalfeldt failed in his appeal of a court order forbidding Schmalfeldt to continue his online harassment of Hoge. Kimberlin filed his federal suit in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland.

For the past couple of weeks, Bill Schmalfeldt — who has described himself as a “Brain Damaged Troll” — has been boasting on Twitter that he was going to devastate Hoge in today’s hearing. For some strange reason, reality refused to conform to Schmalfeldt’s delusions:

Bill Schmalfeldt called me as his witness. I was on the stand for about 25 minutes and answered fewer than 10 questions. Most of the time was spent either by my lawyer objecting (and the judge sustaining her objection) on matters of relevance or Judge Stansfield correcting Schmalfeldt’s misunderstandings of legal concepts. . . .
The judge also explained to Schmalfeldt that there is no exception to Maryland’s harassment statute for “journalism.”
None of Schmalfeldt’s exhibits were received into evidence.
When Schmalfeldt rested his case, the judge dismissed the petition on his own motion. My lawyer did not have to present my side of the case. . . .

  1. It was a typical case of American blind justice, and the judge wasn’t gonna look at the twenty-seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was forty-eight exhibits to be used as evidence against us.

  2. I am very pleased for WJJ Hoge! Though I imagine sitting quietly while all this silly theater passed before his eyes might have gotten a little old, fast.

  4. So, the deranged cyberstalker is tweeting this, hiding behind his journalist persona: “As of now, I am a jolly observer and reporter chronicling the desperate
    fight of loser knuckleheads trying to keep heads above the law.” Yet his tweets and blog entries are pure advocacy. He is claiming credit for finding Ali. It sure sounds like he might be part of a cabal, a conspiracy, nay, a TEAM ….

  7. Anyone remember that gif that was floating around a few years ago of that obese kid with Mikey Moore’s face p-shopped onto it, throwing a temper tantrum?

    We need to update that with Deranged Cyberstalker’s face…

  8. What’s particularly amusing is that Schmalfeldt is crowing about Kimberlin’s apparent RICO suit and suggesting that (1) the FBI will now be investigating “racketeering” and (2) the defendants have now been “charged with racketeeering.”

    You would have to be unusually stupid or intractably dishonest to say such things. Pro se nutcases file civil RICO complaints all the time. So do bad lawyers. The FBI no more investigates them than NASA investigates every time some guy says that satellites are beaming thoughts into his head. And a pro se civil RICO complaint is no more being “charged with racketeering” than a homeless guy on the street screaming at you is being “charged with racketeering.”

    I honestly can’t tell if Schmalfeldt is that stupid, or that dishonest, or both.

  14. “Whattaya in for?”
    “Littering.” – and they all moved away down bench…
    “And disturbing the peace.”- and they all moved back…

  17. Please tell me that’s not a screengrab, and that someone actually did an unkind photoshop to turn him into Humpty Dumpty.
