Career
Jerome Daly, December 9, 1968 (Justice Court, Township of Cr River, Scott County, Minnesota), also known as the Cr River case. This case has been cited by various conspiracy theorists and anti-Federal Reserve System protesters as authority for the proposition that foreclosure is illegal. According to a statement published at the Minnesota State Law Library web site, the Cr River decision is not legal precedent, since it was undertaken by a justice of the peace (see also Subject-matter jurisdiction), and was eventually overruled by other court decisions.
The defendant, Jerome Daly, was a longtime tax protester and attorney who was later disbarred by a decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Mahoney died on August 22, 1969, soon after the court case, before the Minnesota Supreme Court could impose discipline on him and Daly.
