Media exposure = tainted jury pool.
COMPLETELY agree!Yep, agree. Atty. P is simply a rogue operator in all this and FD is superfluous to his personal goals.
If you read the Atty. P. GO appeal word salad its again a motion that appears non directional and it doesn't deal directly with the present charges faced by FD which are tampering and hindering.
Atty. P is fixated on the fact that his client is being treated as a murderer in the eyes of the public when everyone knows that no murder charges have been filed against FD. I do wonder if delusional behaviour is a contagious 'disease' and perhaps Atty. P caught a good case from FD? IDK, but Atty P seems to just be constitutionally unable or unwilling to deal with the tasks at hand such as writing a solid brief for the motion to dismiss, as an example. Neither Atty S nor Judge Blawie could make anything about the convoluted word salad that Atty P presented to the court and it was actually comical to watch Atty S attempt to support the motion at all, until he simply gave up in frustration and failure as the constitutional argument wasn't fully briefed. Nuts and bolts keep the machine together and Atty. P seems to be missing them both when he files his briefs!
This GO appeal is just another side show event in what is turning out to be a 5 ring circus!

Untangling the word salad of FD is challenging as oftentimes the words don't make much sense in the context of the actual behaviour at the time IMO.
I've been thinking about the basic issue of motive. Sure there are many possible MT and FD motives, but what was the primary motive?
FD in the Dateline interview and the recent Greek interviews seems to be wanting to 'reinvent history' in terms of the coverage of his marriage and his relationship with JD. When he did it in the Dateline interview I just did an eyeroll and kept it moving. But, when FD continued to make his marriage and the divorce seem quite different from what we have seen documented in Family Court, that is when I wondered what was going on.
FD talked about his 'beautiful life with MT and her daughter' and the only 'negative thing in my life was the divorce'. Why the public dialog about the divorce and wanting it to be over when FD did everything in his power to prolong the divorce and was IMO the primary reason the case was nowhere near ready to go to trial.
Was this talk about wanted the 'divorce to be over' simply a smokescreen for the real issue which was the FD finances and what he had done with the FORE money and the martial assets? It seemed like FD behaviour in court became squirrelly every time disclosure of any financial information was required.
FD didn't pay any child support for the term of the divorce action, hadn't paid his mortgage on 4Jx and didn't repay the FIL loans but has managed to somehow pay 4-6 attys on his behalf and kept the FORE inventory of houses maintained, vehicles, travelled extensively with MT and seems to still have access to credit cards with substantial balances per the deposition. How is it possible?
But I keep circling back to one of the original questions I had with this case which was why consistently behave in such a way that will simply put you in prison? Everyone talks about FD and his will to 'win at all costs'. But if the cost is your life or a life spent in prison then what are you fighting about and why?
I just wonder if the reason FD has been fighting now for over 2 years in multiple courts relates to something that we have yet to see or hear about? The only reason I say this is because I really wonder how many fathers that care about their children and their legacy to their children would have done ANYTHING we have so far seen from FD. Whatever it was that was driving FD to have done everything he has done, I wonder if JD knew what it was?

I thought so too. Now, I'm not so sure.Media exposure = tainted jury pool.

Yes, I'd asked about the incompetent to stand trial issue in a much earlier thread as I thought it might be a viable option for the defence given the well documented history of FD in family court. I think the response I got was that FD wouldn't meet the standard in order to use that defence. I agree with you that I think its an option given the behaviour we have seen play out for such a long period of time.FD will to win at any cost does not register the single most important thing that most of us realize but does not enter his mind: I can lose.
That’s why State does not think he’s a flight risk.
He doesn’t get it.
It does not compute.
Or however else you’d like to explain it. FD is convinced that he can beat ALL the odds. There is nothing anyone can say or do to change his mind. Delusional?
NP needs to brush up on psychiatry and raise an insanity defense. FD cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Truth and lies. Guilt and innocence. He is incompetent to stand trial. Ergo, he’ll be locked up in some CT. facility for the criminally insane. IMHO whether it’s a story or the truth, I cannot say. Create doubt in the jury’s mind.
I thought so too. Now, I'm not so sure.
But the case will have to be tried in CT and CT is a tiny state so why taint the jury pool. Maybe he will opt to forgo jury trial? Would a bench trial benefit his situation and is it even possible? IDK.
MT wants a jury trial according to Atty. B. and Atty. B blessedly hasn't been speaking.

Interesting idea, but I wonder who here thinks MT matters to FD?Maybe, It was as simple as wanting to Impress MT .
What if she was the dominant/dominatrix in this relationship ?
Interesting idea, but I wonder who here thinks MT matters to FD?
Would FD really be a good candidate to be a 'submissive'?
I know we have heard him professing his 'love' and claiming to be 'enamored' with her, but does she really matter to FD?
Was she maybe just a convenient tool in human form to torture and torment JD?
Its a curious idea to think about what drove the relationship between FD and MT.
For my money though I think MT was simply dust in the wind to FD as I think most people are dust in the wind to FD. Who knows?
MOO
Oddly , I think she STILL does matter .Interesting idea, but I wonder who here thinks MT matters to FD?

JF knew he was delusional and stated so in the court record...and had the maternal instinct and grace to let her kids know he’s a psychopath. Would not normally be a good thing for a mother to say her children. However in this situation, it will probably save the children collectively a lot of time struggling to understand why such a terrible tragedy happened to them...FD will to win at any cost does not register the single most important thing that most of us realize but does not enter his mind: I can lose.

Well that would make him a German Shepherd then.Keep in mind how heavily redacted the depo transcripts are, which is very clear when you look at the page numbers and how they jump around (in addition to the amount of space blanked out on what was published). As @pandaknows mentioned earlier...and something I had not thought of...Weinstein knew to ask the question about the cars! That alone gives me A LOT of faith that GF's side IS in fact doing a lot of investigating on their end. I really don't think that FD would've offered up anything about the cars had Weinstein not asked. I think Weinstein is all Pit Bull, IMO. But the kind of Pit Bull who can play with children and not cause harm to others, though still have the innate protective instincts of the breed. MOO
That's true too! So cute.Well that would make him a German Shepherd then.
The Motive. Exactly. The divorce was 2 years in action. Looking at JD murder/comparatively with other recent wife murders/ I continue the question of where was the catalyst, the rage to push FD over the edge and open himself up to potentially trading divorce court for a murder charge. I’ve posted about MTs rage before and organized crime. As new info emerges, I continue to consider both. Maybe we are looking too narrowly. Maybe there were more than one predicament forming a motive. Maybe the most recent (at the time) civil case demands, MTs anger and outside (organized) investors all were part of a huge boiling cauldron of motive.Untangling the word salad of FD is challenging as oftentimes the words don't make much sense in the context of the actual behaviour at the time IMO.
