“Judge Elwood Lui’s opinion of me is fabricated. I was never there!” — Shoefield, former employee of Media Mogul Alki David

Justice Elwood Lui of the LA Superior Court — whose two sons also sit as judges on the same court — has been accused of faking testimony in a highly contentious trial so that he could benefit personally from a piece of a $54 million judgment.

“Mr. Shoefield was never called to Court to testify.”

“Mr. Shoefield did not provide testimony relating to his ex-assistant, Mahim Kahn, who he considers a ‘despicable liar.’”

Gary Shoefield’s Sworn Statement of Truth


“My due process was wrongfully and illegally taken away from me by Judge Michelle Williams-Court”

Attorney Ellyn Garofalo, who represented David at the time, said: “Williams-Court did not allow Mr. David witnesses, rebuttals, or any due process — nor that of his companies which I was representing at the time.”

Trial transcript dated October 28, 2019


Judge Michelle Williams-Court

Girardi-judge Michelle Williams-Court was fast-tracked to the Superior Court of LA by Tom Girardi’s “mini-bar.”

Attorney Amir Kaltgard, working alongside Garofalo, added: “Williams-Court made many wrongful decisions, ignored irrefutable evidence of witness tampering, and even allowed falsification of Ellyn Garofalo’s signature in one documented instance.”

Whistleblower testimony further asserts that Gloria Allred arranged Tom Girardi to fast-track Williams-Court’s application to the judiciary despite her two previous failed attempts. Williams-Court is considered another “Girardi Judge,” first exposed in a TV Mix article when she reportedly sought Allred’s help due to domestic abuse.


Gloria Allred, Tom Girardi, and Their Loyola Network

Gloria Allred and Tom Girardi both graduated from Loyola Law School, along with Judge Victoria Chavez. Chavez, a former business partner of Judge Yolanda Orozco, also sat in with Lui. Orozco, called by many the “Money Launderer In Chief,” became a critical cog in the Girardi machine.

Girardi Judge Yolanda Orozco retired 10 years early after being
exposed by Shockya and TVMix as the “Money Launderer in Chief” for the Girardi Network. She kept Girardi and Sheriff Lee Baca in business during the peak of their criminality (2000–2017).

Tom Girardi accused Alki David of wrongdoings — but the alleged
victim has since recanted.

The judgment itself has been contested for years by media mogul Alki David, who claims plaintiff Mahim Kahn lied and collaborated with Gloria Allred and Lisa Bloom to create fake #MeToo cases against him.

In November, the State Bar of California issued this
Open Letter of Apology
for the damage Tom Girardi’s Hollywood Crime Syndicate inflicted on the public.

“Girardi himself accused me of a rape that never happened. In fact, the accuser recanted. There is irrefutable evidence this was set up by the Girardi Network and ‘Jane Doe’ is now hiding in the Middle East where she is from.” — Alki David

David added: “Girardi through Gloria Allred, Lisa Bloom, and Michael Avenatti (now serving 14 years) have targeted me and others for years.”

“Others affected by the same gang of criminals include Rose McGowan, Steve Wynn, 50 Cent, and many more — Hollywood’s most notorious targets.”


Elwood Lui’s History of Scandal

Lui himself has been implicated before. A 2019
LA Times article
reported that Judge Johnson accused Lui of violating privacy rights during a harassment probe — an action that led to a $10 million lawsuit.


Kamala Harris and Girardi corruption

The judgment against David was affirmed by Judges Chavez and Hoffstaddt. Judge Victoria Chavez, a longtime Girardi associate, was also a former law partner with Judge Orozco at Jones Day Los Angeles — underscoring the tight-knit web of influence.
