If his nephew’s driveway fill came from a local source, Cananzey said, other homes might have it, too. “Maybe they remember who they hired to do it,” Cananzey said. “Maybe if they come forward, we can solve the mystery.” Paul GuzzoFormer Culture and Hillsborough Reporter SEFFNER, Fla. — As our ongoing series “The Price of Protection” continues the ABC Action News I-Team uncovers how the daughter of a man in guardianship lost her home after speaking out about what she believed was her father’s poor care The same guardian who sued her for libel and won is currently awaiting trial for exploitation “I’ve got my four dogs in my car right now and I don’t even know where I’m going to sleep tonight,” said Lesa Martino The sign taped to what used to be her door was delivered by deputies carrying a court order That order said Martino can’t return to the home she’s lived in for the past eight years A $480,000 house… the price of speaking out It's located in a quiet Seffner subdivision “My home that I worked for and paid cash for because I had worked so hard.” The new owner is Gainesville attorney John Hayter 2,900 square foot house at a court-ordered levy sale with a bid of $100,000 “He used ‘judgment credit’ so he didn’t actually dish out $100,000 at the bidding,” Martino said Zillow estimates the home’s value at $480,000 That judgment credit came from Hayter’s client, disgraced former professional guardian Traci Hudson She's currently awaiting trial on 20 felony counts after being charged with stealing from elderly people under her care was appointed guardian of her father Roland Martino Roland is a retired pharmacist with dementia my father had bruises on him and he seemed like he was being drugged,” Lesa Martino said Martino repeatedly complained about her father’s care which led to the guardian obtaining a gag order and later a “no contact order” preventing Martino from communicating with her father and his guardian Martino filed complaints about her father’s care with multiple agencies Those agencies included the Florida Department of Children and Families the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Those complaints didn’t result in any charges “It’s just so unfair … I was a whistle blower to the corruption and then I get punished,” Martino said Martino also left remarks on social media and reviews on websites referring to Samuel as a “liar,” “exploiter,” “vulture” and “witch.” “I end up getting a surprise lawsuit of libel-slander saying the things I said were slanderous,” Martino said writing in the order that Martino “failed to file a response or introduce any evidence.” Martino said she didn’t receive notice of the hearing The judge awarded the guardian $160,000 in damages Guardian who won libel case charged with felonies Fifteen months later, Hudson was arrested after prosecutors say she stole more than $500,000 from another senior under her care Hudson was indicted on additional charges involving two additional victims The investigating agencies were the same ones Martino contacted about her concerns As Hudson prepared for trial on the criminal charges attorney Hayter started foreclosure proceedings against Martino adding an additional $80,000 for attorney fees which was deeded to a limited liability corporation comprised of Martino and her two children “There was nothing about the house because the house was in an LLC The LLC was not the one being sued,” Martino said she represented herself and filed dozens of motions and multiple appeals On January 25, Martino argued to the Florida Court of Appeals that her home should be protected under Florida’s Homestead Law. Section 4 of the Florida Constitution says “There shall be exempt from forced sale under process of any court decree or execution shall be a lien thereon.” “I have been living in this home consistently since March 2014 There’s been no proof I’ve lived anywhere else,” Martino said Hayter argued during the hearing that the property was not in her name the property was either held in the name of the LLC or the name of the appellant’s daughter,” Hayter said Martino also argued the original judgment shouldn’t stand since there was no proof her statements were untrue or harmed the reputation of the guardian I’m entitled to equal protection under the law,” Martino said The judge in the original libel suit signed an order allowing the sale to move forward She said she didn’t have time to arrange for movers to remove her personal items Hayter came to the house and immediately called the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office requesting that our news team be removed from a public sidewalk beside a county-owned road Deputies did not respond while we were there Employees of a trash-hauling company then cleared out the contents of Martino’s home and loaded them into a trailer They did not tell Martino where they were taking her things “This is really just unbelievable that this can even happen in our country.” She filed an emergency motion to try to keep her possessions from being thrown into the dump but no immediate action was taken by the court Martino is staying in a hotel and has no idea where she’s going to live next She said she’s exhausted all of her savings on litigation and doesn’t even have enough money to pay a deposit on an apartment If you have a story you think the I-Team should investigate, email us at adam@abcactionnews.com The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office responded about 11:30 p.m. to a call about a body on the tracks on South Parsons Avenue south of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, a spokesperson said.
