MB Civil Trial: JK/KK Contempt of Court?

subpoena (n.)

early 15c., sub pena, from Medieval Latin sub poena “under penalty,” the first words of the writ commanding the presence of someone under penalty of failure, from Latin sub “under” (see sub-) + poena, ablative of poena “penalty” (see penal). The verb is attested from 1630s.

Why would JK be found liable? He’s not a party to the suit as plaintiff or defendant, is he? Isn’t he just a witness?

Best description yet of this whole mess. :+1:

Yes sorry, forgot to put in he’d have to be added as a party, which is a possibility

The suite of images and the caption made clear this was an indoor,maskless celebratory night on the town, after her indoor, maskless testimony and attendance at the trial (sans reading of the verdict). The inclusion of that post is entirely relevant. The middle finger was icing on the cake — and you better believe if I was the attorney, I would have included it.

Brava! You just won the internet for me today. The combo of sharp legal analysis and withering wit is :woman_cook: :kissing_smiling_eyes:

I agree that Seeker is probably KK. I still don’t see why there is anything criminal about producing a transcription of the recordings, whether the making of the recordings was legal not not.

Winning post of the internet today!

Can only lift one finger :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Not responding to your subpoena to produce those transcripts is where I believe the criminal part starts.

I would worry about what those transcripts were used for and if there’s any criminal implications there, like harassment for example.

I wish I could like this more than once! Exactly! And to think I used to believe lawyers were boring! I was so wrong on so many levels.

They’re both getting their points in.

I’m just not convinced that Deininger needed a door opened for him choose a nice crude photo of LK to make his point.

I’m not criticizing either lawyer. I assume their job is to get their points in, and you’ve only gone “too low” if judge gets offended.

How is a photo too crude to include in the case but not too crude to put on social media for anyone to see?
Even more so when Lauren specifically told the defense to go to her social media and look for stuff?

Good point. But since “straight recorders” don’t transmit a signal, she would have had to manually/physically retrieve the recordings.

And notice in the Amazon device shown in the link that @erinmeri posted above - that recording device is magnetic, so could be easily attached to anything metal - a refrigerator, a stove, possibly even an automatic waterer (although exposure to moisture could render it inoperable). Also, I see that one has a USB connector to allow easy transfer of the recorded files to your computer.

False reporting, defamation?

I think that was discussed on the previous thread. And IIRC, it depends on how the “trust” or whatever is structured. Her funds may be protected from being attached in any way, or they may not be protected. I think the consensus was that we just don’t know.

So Barisone or SGF could add him as a defendant even though only LK is the plaintiff?

In addition, the post was a series of 3 photos. He had to include the whole post for accuracy. You know if he chose only one photo of the three a certain crowd would be braying that he was bad and wrong for cherry picking one photo. The fact that the cover photo of the series is vulgarity of the ‘common as muck’ variety isn’t a Deininger problem, it’s a Kanarek problem.
