EXCLUSIVE: Jesse James' Sister Supporting Him In Bitter Custody Battle
July 8 2010, Published 9:00 a.m. ET
Jesse James' sister Julie James England will appear in court next Monday to support her brother in his bitter custody battle with ex-wife Janine Lindemulder over their 7-year-old daughter Sunny James, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting exclusively.
England has constantly sided with her famous sibling, despite all his recent troubles after his marriage to Oscar winner Sandra Bullock ended when he was exposed as a serial cheater.
She supported Jesse’s claims that their father Larry James was abusive to him as a child, and she also released e-mails claiming that Lindemulder begged her for pain-killers in 2008 to “numb” the pain of their custody battle.
England claimed that Lindemulder -- a former [expletive] star -- was asking for Vicodin from her army medic husband Sgt. Mark T. England.
However, Lindemulder does not think that England’s appearance at the July 12 custody hearing at Orange County Family Court will have any great bearing on the outcome.

A source revealed to Breaking Celebrity News: “Janine is clean right now and has complied with the courts that is all that matters.
“Julie has always sided with her brother, so, it is no great surprise that she would want to appear in court to support him.
