Part 1: Social Networking Map
The infographic below is a social networking map which shows the child-molesting attorneys and educators, parental alienation committing attorneys, fraudulent psychiatrists who drug rape accuser patients with psychiatric medications, corrupt and racist police officers, and other corrupt officials, in Lake County, Illinois.
This image should help explain why I believe that it would be difficult for me to obtain a fair trial - or a trial at all - in my ongoing attempt to urge prosecutors to file charges against my father for molesting me in 1995 and 1996.
This is a quick-reference guide designed to help people who are new to, or unfamiliar with, my case, to understand the connections between the various attorneys, and other prominent people in Lake County, whom my father Richard Kopsick knows, and how he knows them.

Part 2: List of People
The text below consists of all people mentioned on the chart above (except for attorney Matt deMartini).
For the sake of including the maximum number of possible child predators in the Lake County legal system, I have also included the names of several people involved in parental alienation and child molestation cases whom are close to me.
I have also included the names of people involved in several well-known criminal cases from Lake County, all of which involved Coroner Dr. Thomas Rudd. I have included this information in order to help illustrate the general degree of corruption in the county, and also because Rudd was the coroner in State of Illinois v. Calusinski, a case in which my father Richard Kopsick and his friend Steve Scheller were both involved.
