F.A.Qs about Jail, State Hospital, and Court

[Optimus Prime]

Changing the locks plus calling the cops might do it. He doesn’t have a legal right to be there, does he?

That's not going to stop him from standing around the house or attempting to break in by throwing a rock at a window to get access to the lock on the inside.

 

[King Kiwi]

There's no legal precident currently keeping Chris from returning.(aside his incarnation) If one isn't applied when they eventually do sentence him (a court ordered restraining order or even another epo) then he can just as easily knock on the door or walk back in. Of course if Barb is still living there and still living when Chris gets out she herself can tell Chris to piss off and go away. Wether he listens and does so is another story entirely.

You have to look at if Barb actually spilled the beans on Chris herself...

She did not.

This either indicates that she was unwilling to turn her son in (out to fear or love I can't say) or because she's just that too far gone.

Please keep this thread for discussion of the FAQ or suggestions of questions that need to be added. e,g, talking about 14BC can go in "Future of the House". Staff okayed stickying this thread for the FAQ but wanted to keep it locked so it didn't turn into a big discussion thread.

Would anyone watch his trial/case on TV? or that just me?

I don't know but we better keep it off topic I mean on on!!!!

 

[A New Kiwi]

@WolfGurl69 I would definitely watch the trial, yeah.

I dunno if this is considered an appropriate question for the thread, but to get a clearer picture of how senile someone has to be in order to be considered incapacitated, or be considered unable to consent or viewed as a rational person in general: on the 7-stage scale of Alzheimer's, where would one have to fall before they'd be considered incapacitated? https://www.alzheimers.net/stages-of-alzheimers-disease

I would imagine that Stage 4 patients would be treated just as normal adults. Stage 7 would obviously be incapcitated. 5 and 6 I don't know about. 5's especially blurry.

Barb is stage Seven correct?

 

[A New Kiwi]

Barb is stage Seven correct?

Is this bait? Assuming that she does have dementia and wasn't just acting for the camera (I'm very curious what the state determined regarding her mental status the past half a year), she would be around Stage 5. There is a world of difference between 5 and 7.

No, I know nothing about Barb's illness.

I mean I'm just saying what I was told was needed as a condition for having it stickied.

From exact Virginia code (which I should add a link to):

"Mental incapacity" means that condition of the complaining witness existing at the time of an offense under this article which prevents the complaining witness from understanding the nature or consequences of the sexual act involved in such offense and about which the accused knew or should have known.

i.e. Barb was not incapacitated if she a) knew she was having sexual contact with Chris, and b) She knew that it was illegal.

 

[normankrasner]

Usually mental institutes will keep a tv with a DVD player and some videos of cheap bland inoffensive material for the patients to watch, usually children's programs ironically enough. Usually compilations of things like Looney tunes, Scooby Doo, the Smurfs, the Flintstones, the Jetsons, ect.

like Good Burger or those bargain bin tapes Barb bought with old public domain toons?

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

1/10. Needs more blacks.

Reading this in the club lmao

If Barb passes before Chris is released, she'd be able to return to 14BC, correct?

I don't think so.

The house still has a mortgage on it and since Chris is in a mental ward, it would pass to the next of kin who I believe would be the people who stepped in after Chris was arrested.

That house is gone as far as Chris should be concerned.

I don't think so.

Chris is the next of kin, followed by Cole, followed by David and Carol. Since Bob died first, Chris and Cole have the strongest claim to the inheritance, with Chris taking priority. If Barb dies with a will giving it all to Chris, then Cole is out of the picture.

If Barb is no longer there, Chris can certainly move back to the house with Barb's permission, but payments on the mortgage must continue. If Barb dies, Chris is free to inherit the house as long as he continues mortgage payments, which could be low enough that his tugboat could cover them, however Barb's other creditors, at least previously, had ~20k in debt that Chris would also be responsible for if he inherited the house. He would also have to make good on those payments to keep the house.

If Chris could secure a HCV, combined with his tugboat it could make mortgage payments and pay off the remaining debts on Barb's estate. Also, it looks like the homestead exemption in Virginia is now $25,000, so if they managed to get their outstanding mortgage debt to under $25k (VERY doubtful has they had closer to $75k last I heard), Barb's estate could declare bankruptcy and discharge all of her other debts, leaving Chris only responsible for the mortgage.

Of course all of this would require financial management that Chris does not possess, so someone else would have to set him up with it, and he would also have to not fuck it up. Realistically unless someone is seriously managing Chris, he will no longer be able to live at 14BC.

EDIT: Of course if Barb sells the house at Aunt Harriet's instruction, or if Aunt Harriet gets power of attorney, then Chris' wishes are completely null and void.

Some minor updates added. Larger ones to come later.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

How likely is it that some ween could get 14 BLC and turn it into a "Museum of Fail"?

Very unlikely and I don't think that will go into the FAQ unless I see it appear more often as more than "What If" humor. (I still like my idea of turning 14BC into a scary Chris dark ride)

 

[AnOminous]

Not if he's cut out of the will. And not for long even then, because it's almost certainly getting foreclosed on. Assuming Barb even has a will. If she dies intestate, I believe her heirs are Chris and Cole. It's questionable whether there's even any equity to salvage. We don't really know. For all we know they stopped paying months ago.

Yes, this seems pretty clear:

§ 64.2-200. Course of descents generally; right of Commonwealth if no other heir.​

A. The real estate of any decedent not effectively disposed of by will descends and passes by intestate succession in the following course:

1. To the surviving spouse of the decedent, unless the decedent is survived by children or their descendants, one or more of whom are not children or their descendants of the surviving spouse, in which case, two-thirds of the estate descends and passes to the decedent's children and their descendants, and one-third of the estate descends and passes to the surviving spouse.

2. If there is no surviving spouse, then the estate descends and passes to the decedent's children and their descendants.

It goes on for quite a while after that but this seems to have the situation covered if we're looking at intestate succession.

Very unlikely and I don't think that will go into the FAQ unless I see it appear more often as more than "What If" humor. (I still like my idea of turning 14BC into a scary Chris dark ride)

Would it have the rape chamber where audio-animatronic Chris forever rams his bent duck into audio-animatronic Barb late at night, while Moon River plays softly in the background?

 

[draggs]

I wonder if the TRO that sent Chris off to the hotel was made permanent or is still in effect; that would ostensibly keep him from returning to 14 BC.
