Jesus, I was gone for a few days and the thread derailed into memes that should be in WW and taking the lolyers for their word about “fraud”
I made it to page 367 before giving up because at that point I was just speed skimming like it was WW
As I said a while ago, only an amateur would call out a “late” filing and ignore clear evidence of why it wasn’t late... and an amateur grasping at the straws for a win on technically did just that.
Only an amateur would derail the current civil case and try to pretend their opposition is a criminal fraud, and more than one amateur did.
What’s gonna happen at the hearing Friday?
Regarding the “late” filing: in the interest of justice - nothing.
Regarding the “fraud”: Nothing - Chupp will ask what it has to do with the matter at hand? They will try to pretend it matters for their TCPA, Chupp will ask for evidence of criminal fraud, none will be there. Chupp will mention the reason he overruled plaintiffs objections likely saying that if they want to throw out plaintiffs key evidence he’ll be just as happy to go down the middle and throw out everything plaintiff asked to be thrown out... and it wouldn’t take 30 days to rule on the TCPA at that point.
I fully expect appeals, though, and they touch on issues other appeals courts have addressed in contradictory ways, and thus, I would not be at all surprised at a published intermediate appellate decision or even a Texas Supreme Court appeal.
As do I, however we know from the defendants not even being able to afford the deposition tapes that they can’t afford an appeal. Their counsel probably would want to be compensated on those late payments as well. Although Lemonfuhrer might be so butthirt enough that he would take an appeal on contingency to try to not make his record 0-6
