Anyone who has spent even a half of a morning in DV court knows that she would not need to go to those lengths to get a protective order. A mere threat of bodily harm is enough to get the dvpo and there are more lying liars in dv court than anywhere. I'll give you an example. Was in DV court...
I don't think a jury verdict has any impact to the likelihood or unlikelihood of this case being overturned or otherwise remanded. All of the big issues in this appeal are going to be directed at JGs alleged abuse of discretion in allowing and disallowing certain items of evidence.
If you are...
Being deposed wasn't optional for BC. The Rentzes subpoenaed him to give his testimony in a deposition and he was required to attend. He could have asserted his 5th Amendment right against self incrimination, but by doing so in a civil trial it allows the trier of fact to infer that his answer...
In a perfect world, the appeal would be docketed in the COA in about 4 months. This case will most likely be outside of the 12-18 month norm, as I'm sure there will be multiple motions for extensions of time, motions to waive certain rules of appellate procedure, etc. By example, Michael...
He has a right to an appeal, it is not however automatic, if by automatic you mean he doesn't have to do anything to initiate the appeal.
There are deadlines for everything that start to run as soon as the judgment is filed. As far as I remember, he has 14 days to file notice of appeal. Then...

well sorta but not quite..

(c) If it appears to the judge that the jury has been unable to agree, the judge may require the jury to continue its deliberations and may give or repeat the instructions provided in subsections (a) and (b). The judge may not require or threaten to...
At least one attorney for each side needs to be present in the event the Judge needs to make some sort of ruling on a jury request. Additionally, in a case of this magnitude, the attorneys have completely cleaned their calendars for the duration of the trial, so there is not much to do back at...
I just don't think this is true. Some attorneys may operate this way, but not all and definitely not all good ones. One thing you have to keep in mind is that NC had to approve of that proposal as written prior to it being sent to BC. Which is the other point, I don't recall whether NC or AS...
Sorry, took Palomine's post to mean it was "interesting" in that it might be the one she was wearing or something like that, not just coincidentally interesting. Carry on.
I'm guessing either it was another "possibility" or that they were afraid that it would have opened the door to allowing the defense to call a rebuttal expert that could have cast further doubt on the map search.
