I think he only stopped going because Covid shut it down? It would explain why his fantasy when he larped as Sonichu was to prevent Covid from happening at all, instead of curing it like he tried to do with the gays; he wanted to get that lost time back because he also realizes he's not getting any younger.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.

The only "cooking" Chris has ever done in his life is to stick a Banquet meal in the microwave and press the cook button. I don't know how he is still alive. He has never eaten anything but greasy fast food and microwave meals for nearly half a century now.

I remember he bought Blue Apron item. Whether he successfully cooked something or he fucked it up, it's the closest he can do for cooking.

It's taking so long because they're obviously gathering up the witnesses. His trial is going to be a "down memory lane in a court room" episode, where people like Michael Snyder, Liquid Chris, Mary Lee Walsh to even Leonard Bearstein (the animatronic bear) are going to be cross examined and recount their experiences with Chris.

*sigh* By videos they probably mean Genosamuel's godforsaken documentary

Let's just hope that these idiots who look like a "dude weed" type will leave him alone after their epic pilgrimage and don't make yet another discord server trying to be "a part of christory"

There are very few felony charges I can think of that would fit this case, one of them being rape.

Here's the fun thing about rape charges: Barb gets to decide whether they're pressed. When someone is raped or otherwise assaulted they get to call the shots on if charges are pressed or not. If Barb was incapacitated/deemed incompetent then the police/courts could press charges on her behalf, however, since she was sent home alone they clearly trust her decision making.

They can press incest charges because incest in and of itself is a crime. They can't press assault/rape charges if Barb insists that no rape/assault took place.

This is absolutely not true, by the way. It's the state that presses charges. This is why it's Virginia vs Chris and not Barb vs Chris. Doing it this way actually protects victims: hardly any rape charges would EVER be pressed if it were possible to just intimidate victims out of it. You can pressure victims not to tell anyone, or to not cooperate, but once the police find out, it's out of their hands. And honestly many victims of rape, incest, and abuse are extremely brainwashed by their circumstances and would not choose to. Or in a case like this, where Barb is clearly suffering from dementia and would probably never ask for help.

Victims can recant their testimony, and often prosecutors will drop it if the victim doesn't want to go further, but they don't have to. It's up to the prosecutor, not Barb, and honestly, thank god.

This is the trial of the century, forget about Kyle Rittenhouse it's a easy win. It's like the OJ Simpson case except OJ would had to explain how his dick wouldn't fit in his own mom if he's guilty of fucking his mom. This is the Islam to Christianity, the Family Guy to Simpsons, OJ Simpson to Chris Chan. Two cultural events that either way will get people riled up and make the jury uncomfortable.

was chris even at the courthouse today?
Click to expand...

Probably not. It's a half hour drive from CVRJ to the courthouse in Standardsville, and they probably wouldn't bother having Chris present for a proceeding where they didn't need him there. Plus for the sanity of all involved they probably didn't *want* him there. I'm am not an expert on Virginia law, but in federal law as well as in most states you don't have to be present for most proceedings not involving a felony. You're only called in if you are specifically needed to present something that only you can present, but you also have a right to be there if you want to since it's your case.

If they needed Chris' input for anything they could have easily done it via video.

Not surprised in the least...I think Chris' attorney knows he'll be slapped with a bunch of additional charges, so delaying via continuances and racking up time served via continuances in a safe, relatively comfortable place like CVRJ (vs. state prison or worse a criminal psychiatric hospital) is the best he can do.

If it were a bona-fide, standalone "wobbler" incest felony charge I would have expected it to move forward since Chris has already served 109 days and pleading down to a misdemeanor would result in a jail sentence of a year maximum.
Click to expand...

It's *possible* that he can be slapped with more charges, but as I've already gone over, there's no downside for the defense making continuances as long as the time served is less than even a "good" outcome for Chris, and a good outcome is looking like somewhere between 6 months to a year. Meanwhile, a released Chris would be homeless, so even if he only got 6 months, him getting out would be a disaster, and it's actually better for Chris to spend a year in jail with better release terms that address his needs.

Remember it's CHRIS' ATTORNEY that requested Chris be kept in jail in the first place! Pre-conviction jail gives Chris the double benefit of having a facility that houses and cares for him, while still keeping his tugboat running like he was living on the outside. That's not even going into if Barb is using part of the tugboat for mortgage payments still.

Even for less retarded individuals than Chris, if you have to be in jail, pre-conviction jail still gives you generally more rights than post-conviction jail/prison, so if for whatever reason you can't be out on bail, you want to serve as much time pre-conviction as possible. The only time you want to get out of pre-conviction jail quick is if you've already stayed longer than your eventual sentence, *OR* you're looking at a long minimum-security prison sentence where the facilities in the prison will be better than that in jail, and you already have the best deal you can get.

Chris' attorney has other much-higher-paying clients and shit to work on, and he can only spare so much time to work on Chris' case. As I've said before he's probably working Chris' case into gaps in his schedule. There's no rush for him either. There's no rush for the prosecution because it keeps Chris contained, and they're free to spend more time as well figuring out what they want to do with him and find a way to avoid a trial.

Staying in jail is a win for Chris, a win for his attorney, a win for the prosecutor, and a win for the people of Greene County. The federal taxpayer loses a bit on his tugboat, but that's about it. And if sometime maybe late next year they can find a way to get Chris released into a managed situation that costs the taxpayer less than prison, while still keeping Chris under control, then literally everyone wins.

Not surprised that it got continued in the slightest. I don't remember if it was Chris or some other cow (I am more inclined to believe it was Chris, though), but their case kept getting continued over and over for over half a year.

The majority of cases that consist of a mid-level crime, where the defendant had a decent attorney, get a bunch of continuances. Small but unusual crimes can also get a lot of continuances as long as the defendant is out on bail.

There is nothing weird or unseemly about the case getting continuances. It is normal. They do whatever they needed to do at the hearing, and then ask for more time to work on the next part of the case, or if they're not ready yet for what the hearing was supposed to be about, they ask for more time. This happens with everyone, not just cows. As long as they have a valid reason it's fine. The judge only gets pissed off if the reasons are clearly bullshit.

Now I'd pay money to see that televised. "Virginia Vs Chris-Chan" where literally everyone from all the way to the classic era has to come back and testify on behalf of the state against Chris' claim of sanity.
