Richmond Circuit Court Administrator Obstructs Justice in Treason Case

 RVA Circuit Court Administrator Colludes with Judges who committed Treason against the Supreme Court of Virginia

A complaint has been filed with the Supreme Court of Virginia (SCV) and the Richmond Commonwealth Attorney Colette McEachin, naming Virginia E. Bray, Esq., Staff Attorney/Court Administrator for 13th Judicial Circuit Court for the City of Richmond. Virginia Bray has been accused of violating: 

Va. Code § 18.2-460. Obstructing justice; A. If any person without just cause knowingly obstructs a judge, magistrate, justice, juror, attorney for the Commonwealth, witness, any law-enforcement officer, or animal control officer employed pursuant to § 3.2-6555 in the performance of his duties. 

On August 29, 2023, a complaint had been previously filed with Richmond Commonwealth Attorney Colette McEachin instructing her to forward the complaint to the Virginia State Police for investigation as McEachin was obligated to disqualify herself as she and the accused have close personal relationships and would impair her ability to act without prejudice.

The complaint filed with McEachin contained the August 21, 2023,  complaint filed with the SCV providing evidence of the violations of Virginia Codes which are felonies. The accused are listed as:

Judge Daniel T. Balfour (Retired)

Robert L. Freed, Freed and Sheppard P.C.

Julie S. Palmer, (VSB No. 65800) Harman Claytor Corrigan & Wellman, P.C.

Michael E. Harman, (VSB No.16813) Harman Claytor Corrigan & Wellman, P.C.

Judge Jacqueline McClenney, Richmond Circuit Court Judge

Judge Tracy Thorne-Begland, Richmond Circuit Court Judge

Between July 24 and September 15, 2023, Virginia Bray obstructed justice by hijacking an August 15, 2023, complaint and failing to report to Chief Judge William Marchant the treasonous actions by Judge McClenney and Judge Balfour, who usurped the SCV authority and held hearings without retired Judge Balfour being designated by the SCV.

Richmond Circuit Court and SCV records for Case Nos. CL23-2683 and CL21-4150 fail to show any orders by the SCV designating retired Judge Balfour to preside in the cases.

On August 15, 2023, a complaint was emailed to the Chief Judge William Marchant of the Richmond Circuit Court, notifying him of the highly irregular activity in Case Nos. CL23-2683 and CL21-4150, violating Virginia Codes and the Rules of the Virginia Code of Professional Conduct (VCPC) and the Judicial Canons of Virginia (Judicial Canons) by Judge McClenney, retired Judge Balfour, and attorney Robert L. Freed.

Virginia Bray intentionally withheld the complaint from Chief Judge William Marchant of the numerous violations in the Richmond Circuit Court. Va. Code § 17.1-501. Judges of circuit courts, B. The chief judge of the circuit shall ensure that the system of justice in his circuit operates smoothly and efficiently. 

Virginia Bray admitted in a letter dated August 15 that she intercepted and refused to give Chief Judge Marchant the complaint of the usurpation of authority by the three accused. Virginia Bray is also Judge McClenney's judicial clerk.  

Virginia Bray's violation of Va. Code § 18.2-460. Obstructing justice, also violates the Virginia Code of Professional Conduct Rule 8.3 Reporting Misconduct and 8.4 Misconduct.
