Gotchu, thanks. Yeah, I think someone shared a tweet with a "Case Chart" of sorts where they showed crossed-out cases that were dismissed, but was unsure of the final number and how many were remaining.

Some of those were wrong too because the judge hasn't ruled on conspiracy for 2 of the defendants.


I really hope it doesn't make it to discovery, because it's pretty loving clear that Ty & team intend to use discovery to rake a bunch more people over the coals.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

Wark Say posted:

Like please tell me that all the cases these dumb shits filed (I think there were like 19?) have been dismissed by now, because for the life of me I refuse to believe someone is that loving bad at lawyering, even if they don't specialize in this one type of legal field. The signature forgery I can sorta believe, but this here seems like a dumb comedy show skit that got rejected on account of being too loving stupid to be believable.

Becoming a lawyer just requires passing a written exam. It doesn't require you to have any courtroom skills or even social skills at all. I think it's pretty clear from the transcript that the guy has no experience talking before a judge.

Also I have worked as an intern for a lawyer who did the signature forgery thing ("we don't need to bother the client with this"). If you don't get caught, no one really cares. Note: I am not condoning this, I've just seen that sort of apathy in practice.


Okay that's just idiotic though.

The chuds having decided that the judge is awful, and will be entirely overturned on appeal and Ty will be vindicated are all hugging one another in their cult-like safe space.

Which means another round of schadenfreude when none of that happens.

Yeah. No lawyer is going to sound like Perry Mason in front of the judge (or Phoenix Wright to use somebody Kick Vic has heard of), but stumbling over words is one thing and the issue is Beard really didn't have any answers in the first place.

I'd really like to see more proper articles done about this because there's some obvious legal subtleties that go over my head and even with so many eye poring over this, I'm sure there are extra gems that need to be highlighted either from previous hearings or that'll come up in future ones.

After Bead falsely notarized the affidavits in his response to the TCPAs, he got other lawyers in his firm to sign off on it, which would open up the possibility for them to get sanctioned too. What likely happened is that the firm saw the writing on the wall and hired Hsu to course correct this flaming, sinking ship the best that they could manage, while possibly offering a way to defend the firm from sanctions as a result of Ty's improper conduct.

The defense mentioned that you can actually do that but you need a video connection and to actually watch them sign, which I thought was interesting. (Obviously Beard did not do this.)

Also liked the bit where Beard says they were always going to file an amended whatever and is then unable to explain what he means because supposedly it was amended as a response

not a lawyer, but that was everyone's theory when the new lawyer appeared before they saw Hsu's backgrond - the firm brought in outside counsel pre-sanctions to minimise damages. it just didn't add up to the type of lawyer you'd look for to protect the firm, so the more recent theory is this is all they were able to get who'd be willing to attend the dumpster hearing of a case

in either way he was brought in far too late to help the hearing by participating outside of statements on law rather than fact, but any attempt to help their legal strategy is worth it at this point

ya i saw the skype-specific statement and there was talk of remote notary being in a thing in texas you need an explicit license for (that ty obviously doesn't have)

them doubling down on "we always intended to amend the filing" is not going to bite them come sanctions time

Looking ahead... if this survived the MtD and everything.... I have no idea how the gently caress this survives a jury trial.

All you have to do is put Robin Blankenship-McConnell on the stand and repeat what happened to her when she was 16 (for reference she should be about 45 now) as stated (WARNING: as with most of this stuff about Vic there are details about unwanted advances contained within)here. I'm not sure how any of the rest of this survives a jury.

If he thinks there isn't any reasonable basis to proceed, yes. It's what he's done for most of the suit already.

So you can appeal any ruling. Appeals, however, must reference errors in law (not errors in fact). Basically you have to prove that the judge misapplied a law or precedent inside of the case. You can't bring new evidence, or change evidence, or simply argue that you don't agree with a finding of fact (i.e. you can't just disagree with if they believe a witness or not).

"With prejudice" just means that the dismissal is on the merits of the case. A Judge can dismiss due to some procedural thing or another "without prejudice" which means the plaintiff is welcome to present the case to the court again with procedural errors repaired.

So what's the split on attorney fees like? All Vic, some Vic some Ty? How does this work in Texas?

I'm thinking of one Florida case where the judge emphasised that the defendant was a massive liar and was gonna pay the other side's fees personally, but his attorneys had been nothing but professional. (Bitcoin nonsense with Craig Wright, who is not Satoshi Nakamoto. My blog post on the ruling. The ruling itself is a great read.)

it's all on the defendant based on what i remember from lawtwitter, who don't think vic was fully advised on that front.

probably expects the gfm warchest to cover it after all it's $240k~ a lawsuit can't cost that much

Ty is just a lawyer, I can't imagine he'll be required to pay anything, but I have nothing to base that on.

It depends on how it gets ruled in regards to SLAPP. Vic might end up paying for all the attorney fees for the defense and sanctions on top that (that are designed for the purpose of dissuading him from filing more frivolous suits), iirc.
