A judge Saturday denied bond for a Des Plaines teen who allegedly shot and killed a 15-year-old boy and injured another 15-year-old boy July 22 on the Far North Side.
Judge Peggy Chiampas ordered James Galambos, 19, ordered held without bond Saturday during a hearing, according to a Cook County Criminal Court clerk.

In a previous post at Champion News on July 14 entitled, “ Allegations of Probate Court Abuse and Corruption in Cook County Probate Court in Chicago ,” I recounted a scenario in which Beverly Cooper was removed from her duly appointed, court-appointed guardianship; a Guardian ad Litem was appointed through deceptive measures by Probate Judge Lynne Kawamoto to replace Cooper; after which Beverly Cooper described how her court-appointed guardian, working in collaboration with her attorney, Karen Bowes, and Bowes’ associate attorney, Bruce Lange, Judge Lynne Kawamoto, and the nursing home in which her mother was placed — owned by Morris Esformes, cousin of attorney and on-call Guardian ad Litem Miriam Solo — proceeded to drain the life savings from her mother’s account.
By the time Alice Gore died in February of this year, an estate worth over a million dollars had been depleted. Annuity checks went missing and still are missing, and an inventory and accounting of how and for what checks were written for the care of Alice Gore has yet to be addressed by the Cook County Probate Court, despite repeated requests made by Beverly Cooper. Alice Gore died a pauper. She lay six days in a morgue before her body could be claimed. To add insult upon insult, the Coopers had to pay for the burial of Bev Cooper’s mother, Alice Gore.
Recently I sat down for another interview with Beverly and Ken Cooper. Both are responsible, community-minded and long-time citizens of Highland Park, IL.
Beverly Cooper is a past member of the Highland Park Rotary Club. Additionally, Beverly Cooper is the host and producer of “North Shore Live ‘Coopers’ Corner” Comcast weekly Wednesday program out of Highland Park, IL, which is then videotaped and shown to surrounding collar counties on community public TV stations following its live Wednesday night production and may be seen at this link: http://northshorelive.blogspot.com/.
So far Beverly has featured ten individuals on her weekly TV program all having similar stories to tell of alleged fraud and abuse experienced in their dealings with the Cook County Probate Court System. There are more scheduled for future weeks. DVD’s can be obtained by contacting Beverly Cooper .
Ken Cooper is a member of the Medinah Shrine and Decalogue Masonic Lodge.
Ken also serves as the “schoolmaster” for ProbateSharks.com, and can reached through this email web address to report alleged abuse and corruption. ProbateSharks .com assists, educates and enlightens families of the dead, the dying, the disabled and the aged to better understand their rights in order to protect themselves from the excesses of the Cook County Probate Court.
