Apparently what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander in Skeeter Kerkove’s book.
Kerkove, who is an old hand at issuing polygraph challenges, wants to take one to prove that Mark Spiegler’s process server did not attempt to serve Skeeter papers in Arizona.
From what I gather, Spiegler won his suit more on technicality because it appeared that Skeeter had been dodging the courts while going into hiding. Skeeter says he would never hide.
Skeeter, who now makes his residence in Arizona, claims that Spiegler’s people have presented documents to the court relating to the issuing of a summons that can be challenged.
“Do I think that people overlooked the truth? Yes I do,” says Kerkove.
“But I believe in forensic science. I believe in justice and I believe in the law. And I also believe in Mark Spiegler. Mark Spiegler seems to have taken a page from the Skeeter Kerkove life story by issuing a polygraph challenge to an HIV performer."
“There’s a big mistake going on here,” continues Skeeter.
“I feel if Mark Spiegler is going to offer polygraph tests to an HIV performer, he should also offer me one. This is what I’m saying. Go after a king, not somebody who doesn’t have a pot to piss in. Challenge me to a polygraph test.”
“I presume you had your day in court to prove all this,” I remind Skeeter.
“I did not,” he replies.
“But I will very shortly. I will challenge this absolutely. I am willing to accept a polygraph test from Mark Spiegler to determine if I was served; did I live in Arizona at the time? Did I live at an address at Julie Lane that I bought as an investment property only?”
"How was it possible to serve me at a piece of property I never lived at? There’s dirty secrets that Mark Spiegler and his team don't know even though they were warned about. The house was sold as unlivable, uninhabitable. This goes back on real estate records over a year ago, and there’s laws in Arizona you have to abide by. I never lived at that residence.
"I bought the house at an auction and I sold it. But something happened while I owned it. Vandalism occurred at this destroyed piece of property.
“The point is they said they tried serving me there, and that there were peoples’ voices on the inside, but this property was unlivable,” Kerkove contends.
“The process server is almost regarded as a police officer. But Mark’s server never provided a time and a date when he attempted to serve that property nor did he provide travel receipts for gas or motel, nor did he give a description of the property.”
Kerkove admits there’s questions he still has no answers to, save to say he never lived at the residence the Spiegler process server claims he went to.
“They said I did, and that they mailed a letter to me at my home address and that’s impossible. But I have the sheriff’s dept. on my side, and that’s going to be big. It’s even absurd to think that I ran from California to avoid Mark Spiegler and the lawsuit. I challenge any lawsuit. I will gladly go to court. I will win in the end because I’m telling the truth.”
