Website of Dennis Sobin
Welcome

This website is new so bear with us while we endeavor to print the truth about the terrible injustice done to Dennis Sobin and his family. We have much documentation to provide on this, including full trial transcripts, but it will take time to put it in a format for users of this website. In the meantime we encourage you to visit PrisonsFoundation.Org where you can obtain a CD of the music Dennis recorded in Prison during his 10 years of unjustified incarceration following a wrongful conviction and a draconian sentence.

In addition to recording music in prison, Dennis wrote a one-man musical called Jail Songs and Recollections, which he recorded in 2006 after his release. To hear this musical and find out how you can have it performed for your theater, school, festival, or organization, please click here.

Dennis also wrote and edited books while he was in prison. One of those, Doing Time in Waltz Time: A Memoir of Ten Years in Prison Playing and Teaching Music, is presently being previewed on this website. Other booklength literary works of his will be added shortly.

Also on this website are samples of Dennis's solo guitar playing recorded since his release from prison on January 6, 2003.

After his release from prison, Dennis tried to recover a large inheritance due him. Click here to read the affidavit he filed in court in pursuit of this inheritance that includes the following cast of characters: Paulette Powell, Judy Sobin, Helen Riedy, Teague Sobin, Darrin Sobin, Jonathon Dana, William Jackson, Lelia Montes, Jose Montes, Janese Bechtol, Rachel Sobin Ullman, Gene Knoll, Jeff Lilley, Antoinette Lilley, Antoinette Sobin, Emma McElroy, Janielle Powell and Esther Pohorylo.

In retaliation for Dennis seeking to claim his inheritance, his family arranged to put him in jail for a few months. While there, Dennis received poor treatment and subsequently filed a lawsuit against the following: Corrections Corporation of America, Carmen De La Rosa, Regulo Calaycay, Germelina Jongko, Cynthia Javellana, Leonila Llanera, Generoso Masangkay, Raul Ramos, Adelaida Torres, Nimal B. Singh, Leopoldo Villanueva, and Mariano Villaroman. To read this lawsuit, please click here.

The judge who put Dennis in jail was William Jackson. Dennis asked Jackson to recuse himself based on an out-of-court encounter Dennis had with him when Dennis spoke at a conference on elderabuse, telling of his victimization by his family. To view the video of this encounter, please click here. Note Jackson's sarcastic comment directed at Dennis at the end of the exchange.

Dennis has since filed a lawsuit against Jackson. You can read the transcript of the initial hearing against Jackson before Judge Sullivan by clicking here. As the matter against Judge Jackson progressed, Dennis wrote a memo asking Judge Sullivan to hold Judge Jackson in contempt. You can read this memo by clicking here.
