Didn’t @lazaret post up thread that the latest delay is because the judge is on vacation?
That seems like the most logical reason for the latest delay to me.
Edit to add -
Here, I went looking for it and found it. The funniest part is that this great post by Lazaret is in response to the person who is acting like it does not exist.
Lazaret is putting quite a bit of time into sharing some great legal information with us. It seems rude to not actually read it.
Please educate me: How can you read those quotes I just posted and leap to a possibility that the delays are on Barisone’s side?
Also: since he only gets one initial evaluation, and his next review (assuming some level of supervision is involved) would be 90 days from the first hearing he can’t seem to get concluded, how in any way, shape or form, would it benefit him to delay the first hearing where a treatment plan is spelled out? Why would his attorneys agree?
Thank you.
It seems to me that the 48 hours interview was also a questionable Covid interaction….and that happened within the last few months…
Has anyone seen her around at shows since Covid started? Maybe not actually showing but maybe hobnobbing around?
Trust me. If Lauren Kanarek wanted to go to NJ to be deposed, she would be there. It’s not like she has some busy show schedule or work or interviews or whatever. After all, it is Lauren who initiated this! Covid my a$$.
It’s happened, but generally when someone wishes to question who is not present, their questions have to be in writing and the court officer has to read them, verbatim, and record the response.
It’s more likely to use a cooperative firm when you are the defendant or a third party with information - plaintiff usually has no excuse for not showing up in the jurisdiction in which they voluntarily filed.
The court doesn’t have to do anything FOR you in civil court beyond be a forum. It’s not like criminal court where the prosecutor’s office represents you by way of being a member of the public. This one is all on her to finish out.
Maybe the answer to this lies in the book that was mentioned. The title was related to “…Hate…”?
I wonder if LK now regrets all the FB posts referencing the recordings where she threatened to throw RC MH and JH in jail using said recordings?
It also looks more and more like LK’s friend may now be involved who supposedly witnessed the recordings. What a position to be put in.
It is frigging amazing to me what some do to avoid the law and their personal legal responsibilities. Yet, it also seems so typical of certain people.
Also,
CH is baiting posters and doing everything in their power to derail and close the thread like all the other threads. Stop taking the bait.
I suspect that between now and the end of September something will be worked out on LK going to New Jersey for the deposition. Judges get really annoyed at having to referee discovery disputes - especially one as petty as this one - and you really don’t want the judge getting annoyed at you at this early stage in the game.
Easy. MB and LO obviously want him released with as few restrictions as possible as early as possible. Delaying the hearing and possible release is frustrating regardless of whether the delay is caused by the courts or due to a strategic decision on your own side.
The hearing is not just about what treatment plan is best for Barisone. It’s also about the extent of the risk he poses to himself and others.
Suppose at the first hearing he is not released with some degree of supervision but committed. What is the timing of the next review in that case? Is it six months?
I know judges take vacations. However, I would have thought that the Aug 29 date was set after confirming the judge and prosecutor were available, and it surprises me that having committed to the date, either the judge or prosecutor could say, ‘Opps, sorry, can’t make it. I forgot my daughter was going off to college that day.’
When I have important prescheduled work commitments, I can’t get out of them for impromptu vacation plans, and I’m a lot less indispensable than a judge. Or a prosecutor.
Trying to get the thread shut down already?
If it were me, I’d prefer being deposed by zoom just to avoid the hassle, time, and expense of traveling to a different state for an indeterminate number of days.
Does MB have a lawsuit against LK?
Just a counterclaim within LKs civil suit against him.
The treatment plan is only needed if the assessment has determined he poses a risk to himself or the public. And it doesn’t start until after the hearing sets forth the parameters.
As I stated above, 90 days from the first hearing.
So, delaying only hurts Michael. Since nothing begins until after the hearing.
I agree this seems unusual in the normal scheme of things.
When you file a suit in a specific court, you don’t get to dictate the rules of the court based on your preferences. You knew the day you filed where the suit was going to take place so you get to live with your choice.
And maybe her reluctance to come to NJ for a deposition simply comes down to $$$$.
As in - she doesn’t have the funds for airfare or hotel, meals, etc. And maybe dear RG won’t take her. And dear Daddy won’t give her any more money (I don’t know how many horses they are trying to support these days, but if she still has five horses, there is likely a pretty significant drain on the trust fund). Plus, if they are still doing renovation work on the new house in FL, that could be eating up a good little bit of $$$.
It seems reasonable to think that Daddy will at some point say - “Enough is enough. If you want to continue to pursue this case, you have to fund it yourself.”
Good point. They did testify that they couldn’t afford but $5k a month and it was too expensive to rent a place in NJ. Not sure how it was too expensive in NJ but they can pay who knows how many times more to live and board in FL……
Maybe RG isn’t around anymore and that is the problem.
So, follow up thought….
Maybe there isn’t a record for RG because they can’t find him to serve him?
