Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

What about perjury? last I checked, perjury in any court would, depending on the judge, earn you a trip to jail. Further, since discovery and witness testimony are under threat of perjury.... yeah.

I sincerely hope Jamie is strong under pressure. Would be a shame if a certain beard could get her on the stand/in deposition for hours and grill her on every minute of this particular set of weeks.

Perjury only comes into play if she lies under oath, and only then if she lies under oath regarding facts material to the case. We are a long ways from that consideration, considering she just got served and we don't even know if she'll answer it. Lets take it one step at a time. I doubt even think she is stupid enough to lie under oath.

Read that last sentence. Look at MoRon, Shane, and Jamie. Then say that with a straight face. I'll get the popcorn.
 
I hold out hope that, if it comes to that, their lawyers (if they get one in Jamie's case) will be smart enough to corral their clients and, on pain of death, DEMAND they don't lie in sworn testimony.

I'm pretty sure Casey is shitting himself trying to keep them out of deposition because there is no way in hell they go into deposition without either getting caught flat out committing perjury, or having to admit they were lying in public.

Here is what happens in deposition. They will have had a team go through all their public statements and they will have them numbered and prepared in advance, ready to be submitted as evidence. They'll also have their list of questions put together.

Everyone does it differently, but any solid legal team is going to have that stack of evidence and that stack of questions, and the questions will have a matrix associating them with the relevant exhibits, and what kinds of answers they'll expect, so they will get them and whenever something comes up that surprises them by contradicting something they said in public, or not matching up with something they already have (but have not necessarily put out in public yet), they'll have an exhibit for it.

And then they'll ask them to reconsider their answer in light of it being a complete lie. This will happen all day long, and maybe for a series of days until it is done. By default you only get six hours, but you can move to extend that for cause or because they deliberately wasted your time with shenanigans, which is also very likely.

I have a related question. Why is perjury so rarely prosecuted? I know some/most of it is hard to prove, but is there any larger legal reason?

Because if you get caught you lose your case, usually, so it doesn't impact anything. Most defendants who get found guilty after testifying as to their innocence probably committed perjury but there isn't really a point prosecuting every single defendant for perjury. It's just not prosecuted. If it were, in every divorce case probably at least two people would go to prison.

Perjury would have to be the result of lying under oath. And even then the most likely outcome would be is she commits provable or even obvious perjury, she loses. It's exceedingly rare for someone to be jailed for perjury. The most common outcome is they are a proven liar before the court. Which means Judge and Jury simply disregard anything coming from them as pure bullshit. If it's particularly egregious the perjurer might get fined.

Marchi is less likely to committ perjury and more inclined to get pegged for contempt. Which could put her in jail for a day. The probable method there would be chimping out and refusing to answer questions at deposition.

She also gets hit with the legal costs for the deposition if she refuses to answer questions, doesn't she?

It depends. If she refuses to answer questions that the other side has a legitimate reason to ask (and that is very very broad and not even limited to being relevant or admissible. The scope of a deposition is merely questions "reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." That means damn near anything.

So if they are uncooperative in deposition, the other side gets to file a motion to compel, and then there's a hearing on that and more money is put in a pile and burned. Because courts don't like being forced to mess around in discovery disputes (the parties are supposed to get their shit together and do this on their own), whoever loses has to pay not only their own attorney's fees but the other side's as well. That's automatic and doesn't require any additional work.

(And conceivably this could happen on the 31st to whichever side the judge decides is responsible for there having to be a hearing unless he decides both sides are equally guilty of shenanigans and can pay their own fees.)

And then if the side being deposed loses, they get ordered right back into deposition. If getting slapped with the fees hasn't convinced them to pull their heads out of their asses, next step is contempt of court, which can include fines and incarceration.
 
the questions will have a matrix associating them with the relevant exhibits,
I feel sorry for whoever has to put the time into indexing 400 tweets of Soye into a matrix. No one should be required to look into that amount of retardation for so long and actually have to think about it (:_( RIP the Bearded Fellow or Amazon who ended up with this sad task...

For example: you literally need a 5-dimensional matrix to even cross-reference the latest of Ron's "we are waiting to show proof in a proper venue at the proper time" with the hundreds of past tweets using Twitter as "proper time and place" for being Vic's judge, jury and executioner.

GoFundMe for post-trial therapy for Vic's legal counsel when?

By default you only get six hours, but you can move to extend that
That's funny to think of because they have material for some 40 hours of interrogation just for discovery alone but all they really need is about 20 minutes to prove a defendant is a lying, intentionally-malicious, manipulating piece of shit. So I'm guessing 6 hours should be enough! :lit:
 
New document, people!
The Defense filed a response to the MTQ Deposition Notice and Motion to Compel.
Erick cites Nick Rekieta in the document and his "Fear the Beard" merch, LOL!

New document, people!

Impressive. It even cites a rule. And a precedential case for Casey's Rule of Dibsies. Oh wait, no, it cites an unrelated order from a nonpublished, nonprecedential trial court case in another county.

Two hilarious notes:
They cite a Russell Greer lawsuit in one of their exhibits and they also present Nick Rekieta's YouTube Channel and his "Fear the Beard" merchandise in another.

EDIT: Wrong Greer. It would be funny if they did cite a Russell Greer lawsuit, though.

Also that cite sucks.

This is the case (which is not even a case but an ORDER from a trial court in another county) Casey is citing:

776966


So it says more or less the opposite of what Casey is claiming. First there isn't even a rule, but even if there were one, it would be that the party who has to prove something gets to do it first, i.e. the plaintiff.

Well at least this pile of bullshit is coherent, unlike the burning pile of bullshit that was the responding document.
