The purpose is to hold off the rulings till 09/23 re: LK’s deposition, misstate a few facts, erroneously state that that Michael was found Guilty But Insane, and even though Lauren did willingly come to NJ for the criminal trial she’s too afraid of COVID to travel now. But if it has to be in NJ, he wants it at his firm, not SGF’s.

The errors in this toilet paper are incredible.
Yea, I just read it, too.
Interesting that K’s lawyer is saying that MB’s legal team in stalking her because they provided a picture off of her public Instagram (though K’s lawyer erroneously states it to be off of her FB page which is deactivated).
That is what CH was saying. Sorry, not a big believer in coincidence. I wonder if the K’s know CH is airing all of their business on these forums if indeed CH isn’t an alter?
The documents also say that since she was shot in the lung, she is at increased risk for COVID and that travel increases that risk. I could see that. Shrug. So it might be held by Zoom.
Well, he did say Michael is a 2008 Olympic medalist. That’s kind of a cool one. But it’s hard to take seriously after the absolute erroneous characterization of the criminal trial verdict.
That argument would be more believable if she hadn’t traveled up to NJ for the criminal trial 4 months ago. And as he so generously pointed out, she didn’t need to be subpoenaed, she came of her own free will.
What a bunch of fictional words that sound like a high schooler wrote.
Lol, true. Didn’t think of it that way. But is that also erroneous? I thought they had to be subpoenaed?
It probably would have made more sense to not include that detail, since it kind of argues against his argument.
Except they also correct the record about her voluntarily going to NJ for the trial, which was only 4 months ago. I’d be disappointed to see the judge go along with this based on that.
Obviously Nagel is still upset about the verdict so he erroneously reworded it to suit him.
As other attorney filings in the news this week, this screams at almost equal desperation. It seems to me so many attorneys now are simply throwing things at the wall to placate their clients.
If this dude was my attorney, I would be furious at the mistakes 
presented.
Maybe Lauren wrote it for him.
Doesn’t matter, she can’t argue the recordings don’t exists at this point. They were referenced in the SS docs, copies were given to all parties months ago which was acknowledged in some sort of legal document, KK has referenced them personally, and I have a strong suspicion recordings were produced when LK and RG’s phone were seized which they weren’t expecting, especially with LK acknowledging how handy and useful notepad recording options are on their phones.
I agree with this. We have grammar mistakes aplenty, misstatements of fact (the verdict 
, the Olympic info, etc.), and a generally rambling structure. I mean, even subject-verb agreement errors. It’s rather astonishing for me as we corporate types would get our arses handed to us for this many drafting errors PRIOR to a document going out to the counterparty, let alone being submitted to a court.
But, most fatal of all, is that the overall tone is emotional to the point of histrionics. It is the exact opposite of the professional tone demonstrated by the SGF and Barisone filings. One of the primary benefits of hiring a good lawyer is that they are able to advocate vigorously on your behalf without the emotional reaction you yourself might have given your personal involvment. In filings like this, a good lawyer would take emotion out of the argument, not inject his own. It reads like a full blown tantrum, not a professionally drafted and crafted legal document. I mean, after his breathtakingly unprofessional comments about the jury, this should not be surprising, but still…
My personal favourite bit is, and I paraphrase, ‘there are many mean things in those filings that do not deserve response; now allow me to respond to at least two of the things that I proclaim do not deserve a response’. 
Um, okay, you go on and embrace a complete lack of internal logical consistency in your drafting, I guess? 
My friends husband went to vet school in the Caribbean because he started that path when he was older, close to 30. Turned out to be a fine vet.
Thanks for posting. Good counter to the defendants. The picture of the horse did not help the defense.
Requiring her to travel for a deposition seemed a bit much and the subpoenas for the parents who were not there for the shooting seems like harassment and a ploy to get her to drop the lawsuit. I wonder if there has already been a motion to quash on those?
Discovery is not harassment. Subpoenaing witnesses is not harassment.
That being said, if either of them had bothered to file a motion to quash, there would not be motions for contempt sitting in front of the court right now.
I had lung cancer. When I’m worried about Covid I drive. Florida to NJ is an easy drive.
Yep, she’s done it many times in the past. After all, hasn’t it been said she sleeps in the truck frequently?
I’m still reeling at the amateurish filing. Talk about a tantrum of unimportance.
I wish I could “like” this more than once. 
There’s that lack of internal consistency in his own argument again. Honestly, this filing was amateur hour in both the drafting and the structuring of the arguments. I’d be super upset if I were paying for this, especially after his slagging off the jury. He is not helping their reputations or public impressions at all, and this is a group that needs substantial public image rehabilitation at this point. He works against them on that front every chance he gets.
