Namtab posted:A real lawyer would probably have taken the case, but would also have done their job properly. Nah, even that wasn't the case. Even if it would have made it past the Anti-SLAPP part of the litigation, I'm betting the defamation attorneys Vic went to told him that he would likely lose on a Summary Judgment motion because these facts are not that great. But Vic probably didn't like that, started huffing his own supply of "I want to be proven innocent!!!" and alas, he's in the loving out-of-his-depth embrace of Ty Beard. And it's hilarious that never at one point did Vic actually ever question Ty's competence at defamation proceedings (hell, Vic could file a complaint about Ty with the Texas Bar Association tomorrow and they'd probably look into this even now, because he only sought help from outside counsel well past the point where he already made multiple hosed up filings).

Yeah, Vic exists in that coveted upper middle class white man state where everything has been taken care of for him his entire life and he has only the most vaguest understanding of how things work. A lawyer told him it would work out, he'd just have to pay, so he paid and Vic is probably very puzzled why he didn't get everything he wanted.

He’d hopefully have had the same result with competent legal support, but he wouldn’t have burned goodwill with the judge with e.g. late submissions

TenementFunster posted:the only way any attorney can get in actual trouble with the bar association is if they mishandle client trust accounts Commingling or misappropriating client funds is the easiest way to get the bar association on your rear end, but to say that this is the only way is absolutely not true at all. Hell, the attorney I replaced when I first started practicing got the hammer dropped on him years later for lack of communication and competence alone (although, what would have been a probation or admonishment for anyone else turned into a flat out disbarment because he was loving up child custody cases for lack of responsiveness or just not knowing what he was doing for at least 4 clients).

Now that the appellate court case is finalized, they can try to appeal to SCoTX or just finally take the L and move on.

I would absolutely not put it past Nick/Ty to start making a bunch of constitutional arguments to try their luck at the US Supreme Court if (when) they get blown up across Texas should they try and likely fail appeal to the Texas SC It won’t work but it’ll be funny MechaX fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Sep 30, 2022 |

yeah vic gets to pay damages but not the lawyers - that's probably why this got so far, the lawsuit was "free" so why would vic look closely at any of it

Can Of Worms posted:Vic never paid them, it was always funded by his fanbase; and yes, they're still giving money to them despite everything that happened. That's why he tried to get an en banc review, to give the illusion that there's still a chance so that the fans keep giving them money. instead of speaking with his own actual attorney who had actual experience in the field and Vic's interests in mind, Vic decided to go along with the grift, and here we are. Nick and Ty have been treating the donors as their real interest, not their client. it's basically ACLU-style impact litigation, but they picked the world's worst plaintiff instead. ninjewtsu posted:yeah vic gets to pay damages but not the lawyers - that's probably why this got so far, the lawsuit was "free" so why would vic look closely at any of it Mr. Nice! posted:The SCOTUS won’t give a gently caress, either.

TenementFunster posted:it's even more attenuated than that, isn't it? my impression was Nick raised all the money/outrage/profile for Vic before he ever met Vic and basically approached him with the pitch, "I raised this huge war chest for your cause on youtube. I have a real winner of a case and a texas attorney ready to go if you just sign here!"

The Cowboy Bebop and FMA/Brotherhood dubs (putting the whole Vic situation aside) are particularly well done in my opinion as well (though the Japanese cast of both is great too)
