A Tale of Two Predators and the darkest parts of the radical left.

OXFORD, Georgia — Self-described "partners in crime" William and Zachary Zulock aren't on the same page anymore, literally and figuratively. Now severed, the gay activists are no longer co-defendants jointly charged via a sprawling 17-count indictment, and spousal privilege doesn't apply in child abuse cases, at least in the state of Georgia.

One has pleaded guilty, and the other is officially heading to trial, more than two years after the married men were arrested in July 2022 for "routinely" raping their special-needs sons — then the ages of 6 and 8, respectively, at the time the years-long sexual abuse started — among a slew of other heinous child sex crimes. Litigation-wise, they're two distinctly different paths, but they're both likely ending at the same place: prison.

For William, it's now just a matter of how much time he'll be behind bars — if it's 25 years, the mandatory minimum, or nine life sentences plus 140 years in prison, the maximum amount allowed under the law. That's, of course, all dependent on whether the sentences run concurrently, as opposed to consecutively.

Prosecutors decided to drop Counts 16 and 17, the child prostitution charges, against William, which allege that the Zulocks solicited nearby pedophiles off of the gay hook-up app Grindr to perform sexual acts on their adopted children.

"Zachary Zulock was the individual reaching out to those individuals," Walton County District Attorney Randy McGinley said at a hearing on August 20, where William pleaded guilty to the remaining charges of incest by adoption, aggravated anal and oral sodomy, aggravated child molestation resulting in injury of the child, and sexual exploitation of children.

"Are you, in fact, guilty?" Judge Jeffrey L. Foster asked William.

"Yes, sir," a despondent William said.

"I find that there is a factual basis to support this plea and that you are entering your plea freely, knowingly, and voluntarily," Foster ordered. "Further based upon your admissions here in court [...] I do find you are, in fact, guilty of the 15 offenses as they are alleged in the indictment, and I will accept your plea as tendered."

William entered a non-negotiated guilty plea, meaning sentencing was not agreed upon by both sides. In accordance, each party will present what they believe is appropriate to the court at an upcoming evidentiary hearing; the state will make a sentencing recommendation while the defense will offer an alternative, customarily asking for a reduced punishment.

"One of the reasons we're not sentencing today is to give your attorney some time to continue to work with you to develop some more [mitigation] evidence," Foster said, referring to the defense mounting its case to convince the court to shorten William's impending incarceration. Such evidence is presented to establish mitigating circumstances, which are factors that the defense argues lessen the defendant's perceived culpability, like a mental illness, history of abuse, or if the defendant played a relatively minor role in the crimes committed.

In court, William's ever-elusive lawyer, John E. Haldi, whose six months of medical leave brought the case to a standstill and whose initial absence that day delayed the hearing's happening by hours, hobbled out to mention a motion he's filing. According to court records reviewed by Townhall, Haldi has requested a psychosexual examination of William prior to sentencing.

"Defendant and his counsel are reliant on an evaluation in this case to present any possible mitigating information to the Court in order to arrive at a just sentence," Haldi wrote.

Typically, defendants are able to withdraw their guilty plea at any point between the time they enter it and the moment of sentencing "for no reason at all," Foster told William. "You have given that right up in return for having [additional] time to develop evidence."

Whereas under a negotiated plea, in which the prosecution and the defense come to an agreement on sentencing, if Foster had sentenced William to something he didn't agree to, he would have automatically had the ability to take back his guilty plea because the judge didn't accept the plea arrangement's terms. "There's no plea deal here," Foster explained.

After hearing arguments, the court will ultimately determine William's sentence, which may be more or less than either side is asking for, so long as it's within the statutory minimum and maximum.

In the interim, Foster is waiting on signing the state's motion for nolle prosequi regarding Counts 16 and 17 until sentencing is entered "just in case something goes haywire [...] which you never know."

Nixing the pair of pandering-for-persons-under-the-age-of-18 charges would knock as much as 60 years off of William's pending imprisonment.

The 34-year-old convicted felon is hoping to get out on the early end. According to conversations with family, William is already asking around for the whereabouts of his car, which the state seized along with the rest of the couple's property.

William, previously a Prada-toting DMV employee, is currently not holding up well while in Walton County Jail. The lactose-intolerant inmate cannot consume any of the dairy products offered in the detention center, and the lunch options aren't to his liking. ("I don't even know a dog would eat these bologna sandwiches. That's how low-grade the meat is," William, complaining about the jailhouse's "decrepit" conditions, once fussed. "This place is a joke.")

Then there's Zachary, a retail banker and the Atlanta-area pedophile operation's point person, allegedly, as he's resolved to take his chances of acquittal at trial. Up to the present point, Zachary was waiving his right to a jury trial.

"The defendant has changed his mind and would like to announce ready for trial," Assistant DA Lacey Majors said at a separate August 20 status conference.

Zachary's court-appointed attorney, Reginald L. Winfrey, prodded Foster to postpone the trial into next year, noting that the judge had previously floated a February trial date. Foster, dead set on October 21, didn't budge.

"Guess what? I got a second judge to help cover trials. So we'll be trying the 21st [of October]," Foster retorted.

Pivoting, Winfrey asked about spousal privilege, which the two Zulocks tried to raise. "I'm not sure you ever ruled on that," Winfrey ventured. "We'll make a formal ruling on the record, but by statute [...] we cannot exert spousal privilege to avoid testifying about the alleged abuse of children," Foster replied.

Counsel will convene again on September 25 ahead of trial to discuss any outstanding matters.

William's sentencing is tentatively set for November 20, purposely scheduled after Zachary is tried, prosecutors told Townhall.

The state is stacking the witnesses against Zachary, four of whom include his husband; at least two other co-conspirators charged in connection with the pedophile ring; and a previous child rape victim, who was 14-years-old at the time Zachary allegedly abused him in 2011.

William will be compelled to testify against Zachary. Under a limited immunity grant, anything William says on the witness stand cannot be used against him in a criminal proceeding. Although he's immunized against self-incrimination, William will still be subject to penalties for committing perjury and making false statements.

The state says the couple's testimonial statements in police custody "clearly implicate" each other.

According to court documents, in initial talks with detectives, Zachary pinned the blame on William, saying he was the one responsible for "starting" the child sexual abuse. "im here because i let william manipulate me and i didn't have a backbone," Zachary later texted a relative using a jail-issued electronic tablet.

William pointed fingers back at Zachary during tell-all telephone discussions with that family member. Questioned about their taped confessions, William insisted, "There's a lot of stuff that went on that I don't know about," and that he had "no idea what was going on" when heavily armed officers were raiding their residence. A client of theirs had tipped off authorities, triggering the SWAT team's midnight search-and-rescue mission.

As for the "less than a dozen" pedophiles Zachary admittedly sent the "homemade" child pornography to, DA McGinley had indicated in court that there are other potential suspects "out there" still under investigation. Those individuals are reportedly continuing to circulate videos that the Zulocks had allegedly produced of the abuse.

Only one plea deal has been offered to date, Zachary claimed, but did not disclose specifics.

Since the outset of the conspiracy case, Zachary has gone to extreme lengths to arrange a plea deal, such as secretly sending associates on the outside a "love" letter containing legal instructions and attempting to contact the DA directly out of desperation.

"I want an ankle monitor, and if required, a low bond," Zachary demanded of the DA.

Understanding the Defense Base Act:

When you’re employed on a military base or overseas under a U.S. government contract, the Defense Base Act (DBA) provides vital protections if you’re injured or become ill as a result of your work. For workers in Jacksonville, Florida, and beyond, understanding your rights under the DBA is crucial. This comprehensive guide will walk you through what the Defense Base Act entails, how it applies to workers, and why having a knowledgeable Jacksonville lawyer, such as those at Rite4Justice, can make a significant difference in your case.

What is the Defense Base Act?

The Defense Base Act (DBA) is a federal law that provides workers' compensation benefits to civilians employed by U.S. government contractors working outside the continental United States. Enacted in 1941, the DBA covers a wide range of employment situations, including:

Construction workers on military bases abroad.

Contractors providing logistical support.

Support staff working on bases or for military operations.

The Act extends similar protections to those offered under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), covering medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits for injuries and illnesses sustained in the course of employment.

Key Benefits Under the Defense Base Act

If you’re covered under the DBA, you may be entitled to various benefits, including:

Medical Benefits: DBA provides coverage for necessary medical treatment related to your injury or illness. This includes hospital stays, surgery, medications, physical therapy, and any other necessary medical care.

Wage Replacement: If you’re unable to work due to your injury or illness, you may be entitled to wage replacement benefits. This typically amounts to two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum limit set by law.

Vocational Rehabilitation: If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job, you may be eligible for vocational rehabilitation services. These services help you acquire new skills and find suitable employment.

Permanent Disability Benefits: In cases where injuries result in permanent disability, you may be eligible for additional benefits based on the severity of your impairment.

Death Benefits: If a worker dies as a result of a DBA-covered injury or illness, the Act provides death benefits to surviving dependents. These benefits cover funeral expenses and provide financial support to the deceased worker’s family.

Common DBA Claims and Challenges

While the DBA provides critical protections, navigating the claims process can be challenging. Here are some common issues and challenges faced by claimants:

Claims Denials: Insurance carriers and employers may deny claims for various reasons, including disputes over whether the injury or illness is work-related.

Delayed Payments: Workers may experience delays in receiving benefits, which can impact their financial stability and access to necessary medical care.

Disputed Medical Evidence: Disagreements may arise regarding the extent of the injury or illness and its impact on the worker’s ability to return to work.

Complex Regulations: The DBA’s regulations and procedures can be complex, making it difficult for workers to navigate the system without legal assistance.

Why You Need a Defense Base Act Lawyer in Jacksonville, Florida

Given the complexities of the DBA and the potential challenges in securing benefits, having a knowledgeable Jacksonville lawyer can be invaluable. Here’s how a Defense Base Act lawyer can assist you:

Expert Guidance: An experienced DBA lawyer understands the nuances of the Act and can provide guidance on the claims process, ensuring that your case is handled effectively.

The family of an Ontario woman who says she was scalded by a cup of hot Tim Hortons tea is suing the coffee-and-doughnut shop's Canadian franchisor and the owner of one of its locations for $500,000 in damages. The defendants, TDL Group Corp. and Greenwood Enterprises Inc. deny any allegations of negligence.

Jackie Lansing, 73, told CBC Toronto she was driving her sister to a medical appointment in May 2022 when they pulled into the drive-thru at a Tim Hortons on Highway 60 in Huntsville, Ont., and ordered a medium black tea with two glasses of milk, which she said a worker passed to her through the window.

"I took it, put it in the cupholder, and I said, 'I don't know, it seems really hot; it doesn't seem like she's put any milk in it." Lansing said in an interview that "I lifted it up to see if there was milk in it, and the cup collapsed and [the tea] went on my stomach and my legs."

Lansing, who lives just south of Rousseau, Ont., suffered "severe, painful, and permanent injuries" from the spill, including second-degree burns on approximately six percent of her body, according to a statement of claim filed on her behalf in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto in December. "I was actually in shock because it was so painful," Lansing said.

The lawsuit argues the restaurant was negligent by giving Lansing the tea at a "scalding temperature" in a defective cup that "collapsed in on itself and was faulty and deficient for its intended use," the statement of claim reads. "The black tea provided was a hazard rather than a beverage."

Ten months after the injury, Lansing said the backs of her legs are scarred. She still has sores on her stomach. "I just wish they would accept the responsibility," she said.

The lawsuit identifies TDL Group as the company responsible for the supply of materials and upkeep of standards at the Huntsville Tim Hortons, as well as the leaseholder of the property on which the restaurant is located. TDL Group is a subsidiary of Tim Hortons' U.S.-based parent company, Restaurant Brands International, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Enterprises operate the restaurant, according to the lawsuit.

Lansing is claiming $450,000 in damages for pain and suffering, medical costs, and other expenses related to her injuries. Her husband and sister, also named as plaintiffs, are claiming $50,000 for the loss of guidance, care, and companionship, as well as for expenses incurred and lost income while caring for Lansing Tighe. A partner with the Toronto law firm Gardiner Roberts LLP who represents the family said restaurants have a "duty of care" to ensure beverages are served at a temperature that's safe for consumption.

"If it's capable of scalding your body, it's capable of scalding your mouth," Tighe said in an interview, "why are restaurants serving it at that temperature?"

Tighe argued Tim Hortons hasn't taken sufficient preventative action following similar scalding incidents, including one involving a Winnipeg woman in 2013.

In a statement of defense filed in late February, a lawyer representing TDL and Greenwood denied that serving the hot tea created a hazard or that the condition of the cup contributed to the spill. Instead, they blamed Lansing for her injuries.

"If the plaintiffs sustained the injuries and damages alleged… such injuries and damages were caused and/or contributed to by the acts and/or omissions of [Lansing] herself," Andrea LeDrew of the Toronto-based law firm Stieber Berlach LLP wrote, "she was the author of her own misfortune."

The statement of defense argues the defendants, their agents, and staff "fulfilled all duties of care in regards to the sale and delivery of hot beverages" and that even if the spill was a result of the condition of the cup, it was not "in any way caused or contributed to by any breach of care or duty on the part of the defendants." They asked the court to dismiss the claim.

According to the Tea Association of Canada's website, tea should be prepared at temperatures ranging from 85 C for white and green tea to 100 C for black and herbal teas. The association also calls for those teas to steep for between one and six minutes, depending on the type.

But the U.S.-based Burn Foundation says water at 68 C is already hot enough to cause a third-degree burn in just one second. Alan Rogers, a burn surgeon at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto who is not involved in the case, said the severity of a hot liquid burn depends on many factors, including the age of the patient as well as the temperature of the liquid, its viscosity, and the duration of contact it has with the skin.

"If it's on their clothing for a longer time, whether it's been washed appropriately with… cool running water immediately, then it's less likely to cause a burn injury," he said.

Rajiv Haté, a personal injury lawyer with Kotak Lawyers in Toronto who is also not involved in the case, said lawsuits against restaurants claiming damages for hot beverage burns are common. The likelihood of success depends on whether Lansing can prove negligence on the part of the restaurant or its staff, Haté said, or if the defense can successfully argue contributory negligence on her part.

"It's really what caused it to occur and how did that end up impacting the plaintiff, but also, did the plaintiff do anything to contribute to that?" he said.

Haté said if the case goes to trial, experts will be brought in to testify on issues like the proper standards for serving hot beverages and under what circumstances a cup like the one used could be faulty.

Lansing's case is reminiscent of a high-profile U.S. case in the early 1990s that generated international attention in 1992 when then-79-year-old Stella Liebeck suffered third-degree burns when she accidentally spilled a cup of hot McDonald's coffee in her lap and pelvic region. She sued the restaurant chain, and a jury found McDonald's carried the majority of liability for serving coffee.

She was awarded nearly $2.9 million US in damages in 1994—roughly $5 million US in present-day money—and although a judge later reduced the award to $640,000 US, the case was eventually settled out of court.

Here’s the COVID Vaccine Injury Report CDC Was Forced to Release

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) safety signal analysis based on reports from Dec. 14, 2020 – July 29, 2022, for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines shows clear safety signals for death and a range of highly concerning thrombo-embolic, cardiac, neurological, hemorrhagic, hematological, immune-system and menstrual adverse events (AEs) among U.S. adults.

There were 770 different types of adverse events that showed safety signals in ages 18+, of which more than 500 (or 2/3) had a larger safety signal than myocarditis/pericarditis.

The CDC analysis shows that the number of serious adverse events reported in less than two years for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is 5.5 times greater than all serious reports for vaccines given to adults in the U.S. since 2009 (~73,000 vs. ~13,000).

Twice as many mRNA COVID-19 vaccine reports were classified as serious compared to all other vaccines given to adults (11% vs. 5.5%). This meets the CDC definition of a safety signal.

There are 96 safety signals for 12-17 year-olds, which include: myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell’s Palsy, genital ulcerations, high blood pressure and heart rate, menstrual irregularities, cardiac valve incompetencies, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmias, thromboses, pericardial and pleural effusion, appendicitis and perforated appendix, immune thrombocytopenia, chest pain, increased troponin levels, being in intensive care and having anticoagulant therapy.

There are 66 safety signals for 5-11 year-olds, which include: myocarditis, pericarditis, ventricular dysfunction and cardiac valve incompetencies, pericardial and pleural effusion, chest pain, appendicitis and appendectomies, Kawasaki’s disease, menstrual irregularities, vitiligo and vaccine breakthrough infection.

The safety signals cannot be dismissed as due to “stimulated,” exaggerated, fraudulent or otherwise artificially inflated reporting, nor can they be dismissed due to the huge number of COVID-19 vaccines administered.

The CDC admitted to only having started its safety signal analysis on March 25, 2022 (coincidentally three days after a lawyer at Children’s Health Defense wrote to them reminding them about our Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] request for it).

Like me, you might be wondering why the CDC waited more than 15 months before doing its first safety signal analysis of VAERS, despite having said in a document posted to its website that it would begin in early 2021 — especially since VAERS is touted as our early warning vaccine safety system.

You might also wonder how they could insist all the while that the COVID-19 vaccines are being subjected to the most rigorous safety monitoring the world has ever known.
