Now there’s a thought!

Wow, so Silver only had to distribute the communication to MB’s and RC’s defense teams? But not to BN?
That would have been quite a kick in the gut to BN, wouldn’t it? To learn at some point down the road that his client’s father had improperly contacted the judge and tried to influence him. I wonder if BN has realized yet that the K-Klan are not worth his time and effort - or his already not particularly shining reputation.

I wonder if they will end up regretting not taking the offer, if one was presented. It was implied that it was ludicrously low compared to what they are after. I would imagine it is SOP for an insurance company to make an initial offer.
This whole thing has been about $$ and control.

My best guess on why the transfer has been delayed is that there is simply not a place.
I know people are frustrated and tired and want to put it together with all the other things and create a pattern / punitive nature… however, I think that’s likely not the case.
I tried to find some ‘transfer times’, and a little search brought up this suit against Greystone by a number of current (to 2019) patients. Starting around page 7 there is a bunch of info about how overcrowded it is, how it was never built or staffed for the number of people it is housing etc.
Barisone is likely on a waiting list, and when his name comes up, he will be transferred. It’s long, it’s frustrating, it’s not a just system.
And of course people waiting ‘too long’ should be offered other options, but this isn’t a system built for this.

Unless BN was in on the plan to directly communicate with Sceusi! These people are so conniving.

Hmm. Maybe because it came to light that JK improperly contacted the judge and tried to influence him in a case involving his (JK’s) daughter. And the judge said, “Nothing doing, you folks aren’t going to drag me down into the muck with you. Here you go, Mr. Silver - please distribute this to the other defense teams.”

All have the same weight. Generally the benefit of the doubt is given that the communicator does not know that the communication is impermissible. The judge may not even mention it further as the entire point is to not influence proceedings as a result of the communication. Other parties might mention it if they wish to characterize it as deliberate in the context of, say, a contempt order.

That being true, and common… The length of time Taylor gave for the first evaluation at Greystone, iirc, was six months rather than the usual three.
This was after his snide comments about how MB appeared in court.
If he’s not intentionally extending these stages, he makes it easy to believe he is, with that kind of garbage.

I do not disagree with this theory but…
Krol has rules.
If this place was too full to take Michael in a timely manner then it should not have been the place he was sent.
I have to agree, it is very hard to make this look like a fair and good thing to do.

If we (g) are so horrendously cruel to the undeserving Kanarek family, why does @Seeker1 continue to troll the threads? If the thread is so darn hurtful, she must really be a glutton for punishment. 
Another thought is this is the only place she can know what is happening. She gave the impression she is left in the dark quite a bit.

I’m still almost 100 posts behind but I think you may have won the Internet yesterday. Or was that post from today? (Looks like it was around midnight my time.)

Yes, please
I agree with you both @Angela_Freda and @trubandloki, I don’t think he should have to sit on a waitlist. However, without researching, my guess is that there is a short list of places for Taylor to choose from, all of which have a long wait.
I agree it’s not just, and things should not be this way.
I’m also saying I don’t think there is a greater conspiracy. Taylor was way out of line with the comments. Maybe he had his reasoning for the delayed hearing, maybe he was being a jerk. I just have a super hard time believing that in real life, he was bribed or in contact with the Kanareks, or that something else is going on.
It’s the scientist in me - simplest answer is usually the closest to the truth - there are no appropriate beds anywhere.

I am with you, I too like the simplest answer. That whole think horses when you hear hoof beats thing.
Jonathan Kanarek showed an interesting card with his email to the judge in the civil case. It certainly does make one wonder if he did the same in the criminal case.

I’ve had similar things said to me on this forum. Yet no one thinks poorly of the poster who said these terrible things here, except for myself and a few others who saw it and PMd me at the time.
Seems to only matter if posters are being abusive, vile and down right nasty to someone if they agree with your opinions on things that don’t even involve them.

It would in no way surprise me if they sent official looking letters to AK, Greystone, Taylor, and every bailiff in between.
Whether those letters were even read, let alone actually influenced timelines? I have a hard time believing that. I’m sure AK and the likes receive victim and family letters all the time begging one way or the other.

Can you link one of those comments. I do a lot of skimming so don’t catch everything, but I find it hard to believe that someone on here posted something as vile as what LK said to GJ. (You know, taking what had to be the most emotionally devasting thing in GJ’s life and blaming her for it in the most depraved manner she could spew.)

To give them the benefit of the doubt, it could be because they didn’t want RG there but LK refused to go without him. Or they didn’t want Rosie there.
It could also be because they didn’t want opioids in the house (LK was no doubt on prescribed painkillers). Something similar happened to a previous neighbor where she couldn’t go stay with her sister after surgery because the sister’s son had just moved back home after being released from an opioid rehab program and they did not want him in proximity to someone’s prescribed opioids. My neighbor had to go stay in a skilled nursing facility until she was weaned off the drugs.
I agree, that its a hard sell.
I’m able to chalk up his unnecessary, inappropriate, and unenlightened* comments to his character alone.
MB has a long, documented history of mental health struggles. He suffered as the victim of an organized, coordinated assault on himself, his mental health, his business and his family, at the hands of this Family plus RG.
He was then incarcerated, for an extended period of time, largely in solitary due to a pandemic… and then sat through a rehash of his assault, complete with bald aplomb and proud admission that in fact it was deliberate, by two of the characters involved.
That MB looked less than put together during the trial is completely understandable to anyone who understands mental health struggles, incarceration, and stress.
That the judge clearly, due to his comments, doesn’t have any understanding of that suggests, to me, he’s unfit to preside over cases involving these struggles.

No, they know what they said. It was a similar situation for me. I don’t want to go back and find it because it was awful and caused me a lot of pain at the time.
You can believe me or not, I’m not here to prove my case to anyone. I don’t care if people don’t believe me, I’m an honest person and have no reason to lie.
This isn’t about sides, it’s about the hypocrisy in some of the posts and posters.
