SoftNum posted:Technically yes but the Supreme Court usually doesn't pick things up that haven't gone to the state supreme court. Also they're not going to pick this up, because it's a case with an obvious answer and no real precedent setting decisions to make/validate. THere's some rumblings of wanting to strike down Sullivan v. the NYT decision because Trumpers hate the "public figure" rules... this is a poor case because that's not the only or primary reason Vic lost. Right, this case is such a mess technically (as in many other ways) that nobody is going to push it all the way.

I'm kind of hopping Vic and the brain trust are dumb and incompetent enough to appeal this all the way to the Supreme Court. It'll take longer but the reward of seeing them fines and sanctions will be sweeter.

Pretty sure the judge can degree to pay out of pocket if they believe they'll just raise more funds. Also lawyers going on at this point has to be some form of malpractice right?

I don’t know how TX appellate procedure work, but I would guess that this one appeal is all they’ll get. If it’s anything like florida, appeal number one is guaranteed as a right, but everything else is discretionary. If this were in Florida, the first appellate court would per curiam affirm the lower decision and end the in-state appeals.

There aren't 4 votes on the Supreme Court to grant cert, so it's just increasing the penalties and cost for Vic and the crew.

Vic has lived an entire lifetime sheltered from the consequences of his acts of child molestation by his wealthy mother and used the pretext of his religious beliefs as both shield and sword in his ongoing fight to continue loving literal children. Suffice to say, Vic is not exactly self-aware at any level.

VicStans act like that's the only thing Monica could ever point to. It came from, I think, a list of things Ty was using as proof to try and assert Vic was not a creeper.

For some reason, they seem to believe this is what started literally anyone talking about Vic, as opposed to the literal years of complaints. Hazukari must be ecstatic that Vic took the spotlight off of him.

Takoluka posted:as opposed to the literal years of complaints. I and everyone else in the room saw him do something...questionable all the way back in 2007 at Animethon in Edmonton; it was a fan-girl's birthday (total adolescent, like she didn't even look 15) so he sang her the song and immediately kissed her on the forehead after; all of us total strangers, mouths agape, exchanged looks. And for EVERYONE who's been in the con-running scene for a decent length of time, it's either the same, or you know someone who's witnessed him do something diva-ish and/or lovely to the staff, like friends of mine who went to SakuraCon '08 in Seattle and were in the crowd when he went off on the con staff due to audio issues at his concert, like that's not totally unheard of or anything. A few months later he was at Comic Expo in Calgary and I came around the corner to find him going off on one of my friends over...I dunno, some demand/condition and he wasn't hiding his aggression. BUT OF COURSE as soon as he's done berating con staff he'll literally turn around and be a total angel to any fan who comes up to him! ...sorry, can't help but rant sometimes, ya know?

They did fire him right after the complaint was registered. It's not official or w/e but that happened a lot in the 90s. I don't think in this case they can be said to be defending him, they probably just don't want to incur legal issues for speaking out (I wonder why they would think that might happen).

Takoluka posted:Oh, was he fired? I heard he just kinda removed himself from the situation, and everyone was hush hush about it. That's good to hear! Sometimes the line can be blurred between fired and quit. When 15% of my office got laid off during a downsizing, they offered us contracts where we would officially be considered "mutually separated" instead of fired, waive the right to sue, get a 10% of our annual salary as a severance, get two months of pay and benefits after the signing on top of the severance (officially, we were still considered employed during this period), help in getting a new job (which was a load of poo poo), and their legally binding agreement not to contest unemployment after the two month window passed. Outside of the job assistance, they even kept their word. Which was great because I kind of needed the unemployment since I did get a job in the two month window but it didn't start for another two months afterwards. Considering the nature of such an event, I wouldn't be surprised if they took Vic aside, had him agree to quit so that this wouldn't make a stir and tried their best to distance themselves if this all blew up. Which is kind of lovely in its own way.

Well sure, they were protecting him until it no longer became financially viable. But Vic was so in love with himself that this was a complete betrayal, it required retribution, delivered via the only way possible, a lawsuit from Youtube Lionel Hutz.

In LegalEagle one of his most often mentioned comments is the whole "walk into the open space and pace around while questioning/ make arguments" because if you just get up and walk towards the judge unannounced the bailiff will be on you instantly.
