A probate and family court judge's swearing-in ceremony was briefly disrupted yesterday when a woman apparently protesting a recent court decision fell from a second-floor balcony onto a staircase, landing in front of Governor Deval Patrick and other dignitaries.

The governor was ushered to another room while the woman was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with serious injuries. The ceremony later continued in an abbreviated form.

Police would not identify the woman last night, but a state government source said she is Yong Li. A man reached by phone in Sudbury who identified himself yesterday as Li's husband said she was to undergo surgery last night and was in serious condition.

He said she worked at Raytheon Co. The suit she was believed to have been protesting involved the defense contractor.

The fall occurred about 4:24 p.m. in the Great Hall in the John Adams Courthouse, the headquarters of the state judiciary system and home to the state Supreme Judicial and Appeals courts.

Patrick was there to administer the oath of office to Maureen Monks, a Cambridge lawyer, as a Middlesex Probate and Family Court judge when Li climbed the stairs to the balcony and displayed a large banner that referred to a court case she had filed against Raytheon, with the words "fraud ruling" and "injustice," state officials said.

At one point, she climbed onto a rope as if she were trying to rappel down it and fell onto a staircase, said Joan Kenney, a spokeswoman for the court system. It was not clear how far she fell.

Patrick and others were escorted away while his security staff tended to the woman, who was conscious. Once the woman was transferred to the hospital, the ceremony continued. No one else was injured.

Kyle Sullivan, a spokesman for the governor, would say yesterday only that, "it was an unfortunate and regrettable incident."

State Police said the episode is under investigation.

Li has filed multiple civil suits alleging discrimination by Raytheon Co. and other defendants, including an employee assistance professional, and she took one case all the way to the Supreme Judicial Court, court records show.

She also filed a lawsuit in federal court, alleging that she was discriminated against and harassed by a co-worker after a disagreement over a work project and that her supervisors did nothing.

She also said she was frightened for her safety, court records indicate.

Li represented herself in court. According to court records, she was born in China and worked at Raytheon as a software engineer from 1998 to 2004, before going on medical leave.

A spokesman for Raytheon said last night that the company was not aware of the episode and would not comment.

10/02/08, the hearing had taken 4 hours in Mass General Hospital, Blake 11. However, the judge has not made any decision. At least, Yong Li has not received any phone call so far.

The hospital's argument is that Li persistenly believed that she was descriminiated against by Raytheon and met injustice in court is delusion disorder. When Li's attorney indicated that the hospital made PAI psychological test and showed Li had no mental condition, the Hospital psychiatrist Dr. Huffman said that Li is highly intelligent and she knows how to answer such question to effect the test result. Note, the Hospital beared the burden to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

Li, herself, believed that the judge, not know the name, is going to rule against Li. Because the Hospital's argument is too week, far away from beyond reasonable doubt, the judge has to take time to write down his decision if he wants to against Li.

Judge Lawrence E. McCormick ordered to commit Yong Li to Mass General Hospital (MGH) up to 45 days. Li insisted on that political protest is not mental illness.

The MGH claimed that Li was delusion disorder, because Li persistently fought in courts for discrimination cases against Raytheon.

When Li's attorney indicated that the MGH made PAI psychological test and showed Li had no mental condition, the Hospital psychiatrist Dr. Huffman said that Li was highly intelligent and Li knew how to answer such question to impact test result. The Hospital bears burden to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

Li, herself, claimed that she only suffered PTSD. Li’s Chinese doctors never believed Li in delusion.

I am surprised that the Judge cannot see that Young Li is trying very hard to prove she was harrassed by Jen Lewis, discrimnated by Ian Mitchell, Scott Oglesby and Eric Rolfe in getting positions at Marlborough and she had no support from HR.

She probably has a higher IQ than these unpopular mangers Jen Lewis, Ian Mitchell, Scott Oglesby and Eric Rolfe

Does Judge Lawrence E. McCormick portray the justice system of the USA by allowing these managers to get away with harassment and discrimination?

What do Jen Lewis, Ian Mitchell, Scott Oglesby and Eric Rolfe bring on the table that allow them to be employed at Raytheon?

A vice president of defense contractor Raytheon Co. sued the Waltham company and one of its top executives today, contending she is a victim of race and sex discrimination.

Cassandra Matthews alleges that Raytheon and her superior, chief information officer Rebecca Rhoads, subjected her to a hostile work environment for not conforming ‘‘to a meek and subservient stereotype.’’

‘‘Raytheon is proud of its record of employee relations and believes there is no merit to these claims,’’ said spokesman Jon Kasle.

Matthews, an employee of the company since March 2005, said in papers filed in US District Court in Boston that Rhoads ‘‘disrespected’’ her by canceling meetings and refusing to speak with her. She also contended that after she reported the situation to management in July 2005 and again in May 2007 her supervisors retaliated, including giving her a pay raise that trailed corporate recommendations.

The suit seeks an injunction to stop discriminatory practices and unspecified monetary damages.

Is this politics/media at work again or Cassandra Matthews or Yong Li making things up?
