A Kane County man who authorities say tried to bog down the court system with a number of bogus motions and filings was ordered Tuesday to serve a 180-day sentence for contempt of court.
Robert D. Sperlazzo, 63, told the judge who sentenced him that, “I’m the only victim here.”
He told the judge that his understanding of the legal system was based on “common law,” which he said superseded the local court authority. But his legal reasoning failed to move Gunnarsson. The judge told Sperlazzo that the court system’s rules differ from “the courtroom in your head.”
