Are you seriously comparing this situation to the Uvalde school shooting?

Not me!
That was so disgusting that I did not figure it was worth even acknowledging. So not even close to comparable but clearly to some people it some how is… weird.

An active shooter situation in which any of the three individuals could have been the shooter and yet only one was treated that way despite being on the ground and being actively attacked by someone else. This is not disputed fact everyone agrees on this point.

Thanks to RG and LE, everyone lived. We spent a good portion of a prior thread with some posters rehashing pre-Columbine active shooter procedures and me saying they were supposed to go into an active shooter scene even if its one to stop an active shooter. LE testified to being called to an active shooter scene.
And that thread is closed and school shootings have NOTHING to do with this topic.
So let me repeat your favorite phrase: are you trying to get the thread shut down?

Does no one have any great ideas why a lawyer would not just answer a subpoena instead of allowing himself (Jonathan Kanarek) and his wife (Kirby Kanarek) end up with contempt charges filed against them?

Magical thinking?

No. There’s no Avenue where if you ignore it, it just goes away like a debt collector.
I’ll choose not to think it’s a deliberate wasting of the court’s time making them chase it down. Legal costs, remember, are being borne by both sides at the moment…

I was being facetious. But I agree, it’s either oversight or something on their side is causing the delay. I do know that sometimes if I miss a deadline it gets harder and harder to do that task…
Lawyers are human, and we all miss deadlines sometimes. This being a case that is deeply personal may have JK not wearing his professional hat.

Good point.
Could Jonathan Kanarek really be willing to risk contempt charges for himself and his wife, Kirby, just to cause Michael to spend more money? That seems risky (and rude).
Lauren’s case could be taken on contingency, right? So no out of pocket expenses until they win.

No kidding. Seriously? Making such a comparison is almost repugnant.

If you have “absolutely nothing” to base your “understanding” on, why bequeath your “absolutely baseless” “understanding” to us?
If the initial intake evaluation or the thirty day evaluation indicated that he would benefit from psychiatric drugs, anxiety medication, antidepressants, or blood pressure medication, whatever, do you think that he would be denied those medications just because his Krol hearing has not occurred yet? How many men approaching 60 in the general population are on “zero medications”?
I agree with you that normal clothes, better food, visits from loved ones and the letters of support are some of the best “medicine” there is. But why would a psychiatric facility withhold important medications just because the Krol hearing has been delayed for months?

You’ve really hit a new low with these topics at this point. I thought I couldn’t be more disgusted. I was wrong. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Ostensibly yes, but if you lose and your attorney is working on contingency, the court costs (and any damages) are yours to pay so it is not free to you if you lose.
Also if you agree to representation on contingency, your agreement may entitle your lawyer to recover against you if you choose not to proceed with the case or behave in a manner detrimental to a successful outcome.
ETA: I realized I wasn’t clear. Contingency arrangements can cover the attorney’s hourly rate but filing fees, discovery fees, expert fees, etc can be excluded from a contingency agreement.

I know more than one… Though I am not sure what that has to do with the topic of Jonathan Kanarek and Kirby Kanarek and their contempt charges.

I hope MB’s records weren’t affected.
Maybe he wasnt there yet-I don’t remember.

LK kept on going on about how she had a bombshell that was going to put MB away for life!! We’re still waiting for that to land. By her statements, she did seem to think it was a slam dunk, or was trying to convince herself.

No, I think the argument was that nothing the police did, or didn’t do, was a violation of Barisone’s civil rights. The judge agreed and dismissed the case.

As opposed to you “bequeathing” your “absolutely baseless understandings” on us? How many times have you drug out threads only for your “baseless” statements to be proven wrong?
You’re even making baseless assumptions about his medication in your very next paragraph.
Come on. Pot meet kettle.

Remember, you all used to accuse me of having insider information. Remember? I sure do.
