You know he'll be scoffing indignantly every time the judge or skordas says something he doesn't like hearing, possibly looking around at people as if to say "can you believe this shit?"
I'm just imminently gratified that Skordas is involved. It almost has to be Julianne or someone from the Hough family if he's involved so this could get interesting. I don't see him getting too cute during the proceedings, but
maybe we can look forward to another tome breaking down the legal showdown from his perspective.
Ugh, yes. Meant to type victim. Need to stop drunk posting.
Probably he'll shriek about bias and how Skordas represents Taylor and this is all a plan to send him to jail before he reveals the truth about how horrible she is for not giving him special treatment.
Sounds like Skordas alerted the prosecution to Russ's history, so it's up to them about what they try to present. It's on the judge to allow or disallow evidence. The defense might object on relevancy, but the fact Russ has a heavily documented history of pulling shit like this then hiding behind his disabilities would seem to be pertinent to the case. It does show (in my admittedly amateur opinion) that this isn't a momentary lapse of judgement and without intervention, Russ is likely to do this again. Skordas won't be directly involved in the prosecution, that's the county prosecutor or district attorney's job. He's there to represent the interests of the victims, and since he's had history with Russ, I'm sure he'll urge a stiff sentence. I still wonder what exactly Russ said or did to warrant being charged. Most cases of electronic harassment are brushed off by the cops. I'm with the people who think he must have directly threatened violence towards someone important. There's more going on than we're aware of, I'm sure.
"I will rise above your preconceived notions" was one of my favourite Russ lines. Really sums up his entire being. I can picture him mumbling this into the night looking like he does in my avatar.
