I love Sargons lawyer pushing knowing it will add to Akilahs costs. Obviously.

I'm not familiar with the US court system, but would anyone like to comment on the idea that the reason the court might be delaying considering costs is that they're expecting the Parties to reach an agreement themselves. eg for Hughes to offer a smaller amount just to allow the case to end?

If Hughes goes back to the Judge without having made any attempts to resolve the issue will that count against her?

I mean arguably she should have at least worked out how much it's costing her to continue retaining her lawyers and offered that as a settlement?

that already happened, she tried to squeeze 40K out of Carl in the first month of the lawsuit, Carl’s attorneys denied and she hasn’t made another offer since. Carls attorneys have brought this up in the motion for payment of attorneys fees and that The whole lawsuit was just used as a weapon to silence/punish Carl.

they can’t “make a deal” for anything that is even 1 cent below the costs of the lawsuit since that money has been spent. Carls legal team will not take anything below the asking price since that would make them come off as disingenuous towards the judge.

There's no particular rush. Also people keep filing stuff.

A lot of the time it's not even stupidity; our entire purpose is to engage in motivated reasoning on behalf of our clients. If a slightly dodgy argument might actually end up persuading a trier of fact, are you really zealously representing your client if you fail to make it? Obviously, a good lawyer knows when the argument is weak or off-putting enough that it will undermine the credibility of your better arguments, but that's a delicate balance to strike and predictions are hard, especially about the future, so a lot of the time lawyers will err on the side of making the argument to mollify the client who wants you spitting fire even when doing so would be against their best interests.

Of course, doing that when it's not your case and you're just sperging in your free time is less excusable, but those mental pathways you've constructed to aid you in your work can be hard to turn off.

Morrison Rothman, the firm Ryan Morrison founded, completed it's investigation into Ryan Morrison and announced that he's a good boy didn't do nothin'. Evolved Talent Agency, which Ryan Morrison co-founded and was the CEO of, concurs.

His accusers on social media declined to participate.
