A divorced couple have been ordered to pay a former PTA president $5.7million after planting drugs in her car in a failed attempt to have her arrested when a schoolyard argument got out of hand.
Kent Easter and his former wife Jill Easter, now known as Ava Everheart, were slapped with the damages bill by a court in Irvine, California, on Friday.
The pair, both former attorneys who attended top colleges, were previously jailed for attempting to frame Kelli Peters, a volunteer at Plaza Vista School in Irvine, which their son had attended.
The incredible case dates back to February 2010 when Easter and Everheart's son, then seven, was taking part in an after-school tennis lesson being supervised by Peters.
According to court documents, Everheart arrived at the school to pick up the boy, but found that he wasn't in his usual spot in the schoolyard.
Everheart confronted Peters over the delay, when she suggested that the boy had possibly been slow to line up after the class - a remark Everheart took as a slight against the boy's intelligence.
Peters recalled that the incensed mother shouted 'I'm going to get you' after the argument, and over the course of the next year carried out a campaign designed to have Peters removed from her job.
Easter and Everheart filed complaints to the school, accusing Peters of leaving their son unattended for long periods of time, causing him to have anxiety attacks.
They demanded that Peters be removed from her role, and when the school stood by her, Everheart accused Peters of stalking the family and threatening to kill her.
The fight eventually came to a head in 2011 when police were called to the school to reports that Peters had been driving erratically in the parking lot.
A man, speaking in an Indian accent, had called to report that he thought Peters had been on drugs and had seen her place a package behind her driver's seat.
When cops inspected the car, they found a large amount of marijuana along with packets of Vicodin and Percocet.
Peters was then questioned in the parking lot with the drugs placed on the hood of her car while people were leaving the school, a move that she said caused her considerable distress.
However, officers soon became suspicious of the call after Peters passed a curbside sobriety test, and instead turned their attention to Easter and his wife.
It later transpired that the police call had been placed from a hotel next to Easter's law firm, rather than close to the school, and CCTV showed him walking in and placing the call.

This whole thing is fucking psychotic. Clearly. But you know what really stood out to me?
"Ava Everheart."
That is a Mary Sue name if ever I heard one.

"...who attended top colleges..."??!! WHAT THE FUCK? Like attending a "good" college is an automatic guarantee that the person is going to be a contributing, upstanding member of society? Such fucking bullshit!

“I've already paid dearly,” Easter said. “I've lost my law license and career ... and the law says you have to take that into account. ... I'm not able to pay punitive damages. I'm a 41-year-old still living with my parents now. ... I've lost everything I've ever had but my family and I don't see the point of being punished further, but that's up to your judgment.”

Well, maybe your ass should have thought about that when you decided to make it your sole purpose to destroy someone's life and career because you misunderstood something they said.

I'm a nurse, and as thom_c can probably attest, we come from a number of different types of nursing programs--from the BSN programs that are university/college based to the associate's degree and diploma programs based at community colleges or even the few hospital-based schools of nursing still open. But we're all nurses, and having BSN is no guarantee that I'm a better nurse or more caring or more competent of a nurse than say a nurse from a local community college who is a damned good practitioner.
Same with any other professions, but it bugs the fuck out of me to hear that somehow those breeders having gone to "good" colleges (and who the hell determined they were "good" if they were producing graduates like the two of them?!) are supposed to be automatically upstanding.
Sorry for going off on this, but I was reading an essay by some former Ivy League admissions officer giving a behind the scenes look at how their admissions process worked before he left. What a bunch of horseshit...most of the Ivy Leaguers I have ever had to work with were selfish, entitlement-poisoned fuckheads who couldn't tie their shoes without making some comment on those who were not Ivy Leaguers. Guess those of us that went to state and local schools are just menials to those pampered, amoral shitbricks.
