Injunction sought by Carolyn Cox

A case has been filed in McHenry County Circuit Court involving a Woodstock attorney, R. Marc (sic) Gummerson. The case number is 11CH001498.

The Plaintiff in the case is Carolyn Cox Mahoney, whose case attracted a lot of attention in McHenry County after her then-husband was charged with, and later convicted of, attempted murder. Her attorney in this case is Robert T. Hanlon.

The Defendants are, according to the Circuit Clerk's online records, R. Marc (sic) Gummerson, who was Billy Cox's attorney during that murder case, and her former husband, Billy J. Cox, who is now in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections (Inmate #R66584). Billy Cox, 70, is confined at the Dixon Correctional Center and currently has a parole date of February 26, 2022. Gummerson's middle name is spelled "Mark" on his firm's website at http://www.lawgr.com/

A conference date for scheduling is set for October 26, 2011, in the courtroom of Judge Michael T. Caldwell.

Numerous legal moves will probably be played out in the next four months, and I won't be surprised if Judge Caldwell either recuses himself or if a motion is made for a substitute judge, or even a move to take the case out of McHenry County.
