Lawyer jailed 14 years for court divorce contempt is freed
By JOANN LOVIGLIO
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania attorney who was released from prison Friday after serving the longest imprisonment on a civil contempt charge in U.S. history said judges have too much discretion in cases like his.
"If I had been convicted of murder in the third degree in Pennsylvania, I would have been out in half the time I was in jail," H. Beatty Chadwick said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
A judge ordered Chadwick's release from a county prison in suburban Philadelphia more than 14 years after he was jailed for refusing to turn over millions of dollars in a bitter divorce battle. The case prompted dozens of appeals to county, state and federal courts, twice reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.
Chadwick, 73, said he will stay with his 41-year-old son, Bill, for now. He said he plans to find a job, though he was not sure what sort of work he would do.
"I have to spend a little time thinking about that and seeing how I can best use my skills and talents," Chadwick said, speaking from the office of his lawyer, Michael Malloy. He said he was not sure if he would return to practicing law; he is eligible to apply for his law license when a five-year suspension ends next year.
Chadwick was jailed in April 1995, accused of hiding $2.5 million from his ex-wife during divorce proceedings. Chadwick maintained he lost the money in bad investments. In 2006, before the economic downturn, experts estimated the money would be worth more than $8 million.
After repeated attempts to have himself freed, Chadwick's request was granted by Delaware County Judge Joseph Cronin, who determined his continued incarceration had lost its coercive effect and would not result in him turning over the money.
In court documents ordering the release, Cronin said he agreed with previous court rulings that Chadwick "had the ability to comply with the court order ... but that he had willfully refused to do so."
But Chadwick's continued imprisonment would be legal only if it were likely that he would ultimately comply with the order. The judge said that there was little chance of that, and Chadwick should be released.
Chadwick insisted Friday that he was unable to pay the money and said the law should be written so people in his situation can have a jury decide if they are capable of complying with court orders. He said there also ought to be time limits on jailing people for contempt, adding that there is an 18-month limit in the federal courts for refusing to testify before a grand jury.
"There's no question about whether they're able to do it — everybody's able to testify. But in my case, of course, there's a question: Was I able?" he said.
Chadwick and the former Barbara Jean "Bobbie" Crowther married in 1977 and lived in Philadelphia's wealthy Main Line suburbs. She filed for divorce in 1992.
Bobbie Chadwick, now known as Bobbie Applegate, declined to comment when reached by telephone at her home in Maine on Friday.
Applegate's attorney, Albert Momjian, said it was the longest incarceration on a civil contempt case in U.S. history. He said he understood and respected the judge's decision but was still disappointed.
"Here's a guy who thumbed his nose at a court order for 14 years," Momjian said of Chadwick. "There should be some kind of sanctions for doing that."
Momjian said he was discussing with his client options in pursuing the divorce settlement. He also was seeking a court order requiring Chadwick to wear an electronic monitoring device and barring him from getting a passport.
"My contention is that he's going to take off very quickly," Momjian said. "He's not going to stick around."
A one-time corporate lawyer, Chadwick has battled non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in prison.

Man jailed in divorce free after 14 yrs.

H. Beatty Chadwick is either the most hardheaded lawyer in America or a poor sap who lost 14 years of his life to a money-grubbing ex-wife and cold-hearted judges.
Either way, at 3:08 p.m. yesterday the Main Line attorney who had been imprisoned since 1995 on a contempt charge walked out of the George W. Hill Correctional Facility a free man.
Chadwick, 73, who is believed to have set a U.S. record for time served in a civil-contempt case, was jailed during divorce proceedings for allegedly stashing $2.5 million in overseas accounts - out of the reach of his wife and her lawyers.
While fighting non-Hodgkins lymphoma in prison, he has steadfastly maintained that he lost the cash in a bad investment. Judges repeatedly denied his request to be freed, until yesterday, when Delaware County President Judge Joseph Cronin approved his release.
"He's not bitter, he's happy to be out," said Chadwick's attorney, Michael Malloy. "He's a very low-key, even tempered guy."
"I've never seen him lose his temper. I've never seem him upset."
Chadwick's plans were to go home to be with his son, Malloy said.
Many still believe that Chadwick - reportedly a control freak who would ration his spouse's toilet-paper usage and designate specific times for sex - is a stubborn liar who still has the money.
"This guy is so off-the-wall that he's never going to change his mind," said Albert Momjian, attorney for Barbara Applegate, Chadwick's ex-wife. "If he doesn't have access to the money, how does he pay all these lawyers?"
About 35 prison staffers gathered yesterday - some crying and hugging Chadwick - to say goodbye to the "model inmate" who had worked in the law library and forged friendships with everyone from guards to senior administrators, said prison Superintendent John Reilly.
"He's done more time than maybe the majority of people convicted of homicide do," said Reilly, a former prosecutor. "What person in his right mind is going to flaunt the authority of the court and say, 'I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail?' People just aren't made that way."
Yet, Reilly concedes, he and most other observers simply don't know whether Chadwick is still hiding his fortune.
"To me, he's an enigma," he said. "I can't get a read on the guy." *

Still tipping the scales in Carolina
By Myron Pitts

Battle of the Bulge: States packing on pounds
North Carolina retains its "big boy" status in the new rankings on obesity.
We're tipping the scales as 12th-fattest state, according to a report by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Never ones to sit still, unless there's a TV around, we jumped four places since last year.
Twenty-eight percent of Tar Heel adults and 33.5 percent of children qualify as obese, which means they're carrying enough weight to cause serious health problems.
We're joined by our southern cousins. Mississippi is No. 1, again. Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana and Arkansas are all in the Top 10. Missouri and Georgia are just behind North Carolina.
I'm bummed.
I held high hopes the Yankee transplants who have flooded the state would help us out here. (In the rankings, the Slim Jim northeast states are crowded near the bottom.)
I thought that the Yanks would come bearing better diets, full of non-fried foods, and would bring the state's fat average down. Therefore, natives like myself could continue eating what we want. This was to be the trade-off for having to put up with the newer arrivals' ignorance of grits and their frou-frou diets and unfathomable preference for unsweetened tea.
But clearly that's not working, at least not here.
Virginia, on the other hand, with its North-South split between actual southerners and D.C.-area people, is distancing itself from its southern cousins. The former capital of the South ranks 38th in fatness.
Meanwhile, the tough economic times have exacerbated our state's weight problem, says Karen McLeod, the health promotions coordinator of the Cumberland County Health Department.
"A lot of times when you have less money, you aren't able to buy the healthier foods," she said.
Another study suggests a way out of our jam.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina found that people tend to put on the pounds after they get married. A married or cohabitating person is twice as likely to be obese as a single person.
Consider that North Carolina, in terms of divorce rates, is at the other end of the state rankings, consistently coming in around 32nd.
In other words: Unlike the governor of our neighboring state to the south, we stick with the one we've got.
Or, as the old players say after a couple of brutal rounds in divorce court: "It's cheaper to keep her."
(I guess it's cheaper to keep him, too, but that doesn't rhyme as well.)
Maybe we also can add that "it's thinner to drop him or her."
But hoping people break up strikes me as an unsavory way of dealing with our weight issues.
How about a more holy approach?
Among county programs to fight obesity is one that gives seed money for churches to grow a nutrition program, McLeod said.
That one holds promise, in my opinion.
We have lots of buffets around here, but many more churches, about one per corner. There are so many people getting saved around here, it's not even funny.
We've got people running to the Lord. If we can get them running the Lord, that would be just gravy.
No, not gravy. A low-fat gravy substitute.

The Stripper, The Pizza Boy and The Bondage Bungalow
https://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/07/06/crimesider/entry5136850.shtml
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (CBS/AP) A married dad of two; a remote mountain cabin; a stripper tied up on the couch - what could possibly go wrong? Everything, if you are David Jansen, 46, of Snellville, Ga.
What may have started off as a romantic rendezvous, became anything but.
When Jansen ordered a pizza and the deliveryman was greeted with a scene either made in hell or made in Hollywood.
Did the showgirl tied-up on the couch have a penchant for bondage or was she being raped?
The deliveryman says she silently begged him to "please call 911." So 32-year-old Chris Turner called the police from a nearby home. Jansen was promptly arrested and charged with rape.
At first the story was a tale of a quick-thinking deliveryman's heroism. But now, prosecutors aren't sure what happened and they have dropped all charges in the case. Jansen has claimed that the May 26 incident was consensual.
"It's hard to look inside somebody's brain to see if all this was contrived between two parties or if she really was kidnapped and raped,” Sevier County Assistant District Attorney Steven Hawkins told The Associated Press. “Who can tell?"
Jansen, whose wife filed for divorce after his arrest, wasn't in the courtroom in Sevierville.
VIDEO COURTESY OF CBS AFFILIATE WVLT
"This has been a difficult time for Mr. Jansen and he is happy to have this part of the ordeal behind him," Jansen's attorney Don Bosch said. Jansen has not decided whether to take legal action against the woman or anyone else involved in his arrest, Bosch said.
Tennessee authorities learned, after Jansen's arrest, that the 24-year-old Atlanta woman who accused him had been convicted and sentenced to probation for lying to Georgia police about being attacked in 2005 and 2006.
Hawkins said there were no plans to charge her in Tennessee.
"She insisted it did happen and there is a lot of evidence that it did happen," said Hawkins, who talked to the woman by telephone Thursday.
The woman's attorney, Alan Begner of Atlanta, said Hawkins "did not ask us what we thought about" dismissing the charges, but he said he understood the burden of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, Begner noted the woman had not recanted her story. She did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment Thursday, and a phone call to the club she worked at rang unanswered.
The woman told police she knew Jansen as a customer at a restaurant and strip club she worked at in Atlanta. She claimed he lured her into his car, tied her up, drove to Gatlinburg and raped her. Police found rope and ripped clothing in the cabin.
Turner discovered her bound on the couch while making a delivery to a remote rental cabin near Gatlinburg in the Smoky Mountains. After Jansen signed his credit card slip, Turner rushed to another cabin and called police. Jansen was arrested, and the woman was taken to a hospital.
She later told Turner she feared she would have been killed if not for him.
Bosch later found witnesses and convenience store surveillance videos that suggested the woman had chances to escape or call for help. And a polygraph test indicated Jansen was truthful when he told investigators that the sex was consensual, and that the kidnapping was part of a bondage fantasy.
While the case may not have been what it seemed, Hawkins said that takes nothing away from the deliveryman's actions.
"I think he saw what appeared to him based on all the evidence to be a kidnapping and he did the right thing. I don't think this diminished what he did a bit. Nor does it diminish what the sheriff's department did," he said.
"Everybody did what they felt was right based on everything right then."
