Haha! I will share a secret with you
@pernickety as I think you might share my pain as you have read this document too.
Your catches are hilarious and par for the course with the document IMO. I do wonder with your second quote,
"....but compounds the grammar blooper with a pronoun of the wrong gender: "...Mr. Dulos moved his dead wife's body after laying in wait for him.", if you caught out Atty. P. and the defense will be that JF, all 120 lbs of her. actually attacked FD and he was merely defending himself! Perhaps you outscooped all the CT Press (most of whom haven't read the SC appeal brief) and figured out the Atty. P. defense where none seemed to exist before this document. Can you imagine the Justice's question about this issue? So, Atty Pattis what exactly did you mean here? Well, Your Honor I simply [REDACTED] up! Yep, it was a huge [REDACTED] up for sure IMO!
So, here is my secret. Today I found out that I actually share a fantasy in common with FD. Yes, it is true. Today after reading the NP SC appeal brief with a bit more focus than 5 mins, I actually feel like dropping a brick on something. The brick maybe ought to be dropped on me as I feel like a total idiot for spending the time to read the document with serious intent when I don't believe there was much serious intent on the part of the document writer/s.
I did come up with a few questions after reading the document and I will post them tomorrow but IMO as you say Atty. P. requires and editor or a ghost writer or perhaps a remedial english or refresher constitutional law class OR all of the above IDK. I pity the poor Justices that have to spend their time on the appeal as well and I can just see them after court sitting around having a beer (or 2) and saying, "that man has done gone and lost his mind, again"!
No specific destination in mind for the dropping brick but I just have this overwhelming drive to simply drop something from the sky and create a large hole in the earth. I do. A large brick and a brick that could do great damage to the non specified place or my yard where I have the fantasy of dropping it. I have no wish to hurt anyone or damage property, just create a hole to get rid of the frustration of reading yet another legal document that IMO is an unproductive use of the courts precious time.
I do wonder if Atty. P. realises that that 'gag order' is designed to save him from himself and his odd proclivities in compulsively and irresponsibly talking to the press IMO and to provide the ability for FD to eventually have a fair trial? I'm curious if Atty. P. ever stopped to think whether there were any changes to his behaviour and choices in the Dulos case that might have made a 'gag order' unnecessary? Perhaps the ongoing sharing of untruths to the Press such as the infamous "MT polygraph test" or the FD 'alibi scripts' simply put Judge Blawie in the awkward position of protecting FD when you chose not to? IDK, but the decision by the Judge wasn't made lightly IMO. I do wonder if Atty. P. has any capacity to look in the [REDACTED] mirror at his own behaviour and realise that the only person to 'thank' for the gag order is himself? IMO if Atty. P. had simply 'coloured inside the lines' of Professional Conduct then there would be zero reason for a 'gag order'. BUT NO, this was not to be.
But what I will probably do instead of firing up the private plane and dropping a brick in the yard is to instead just pull out the portable digger and dig a hole for the eventual live Christmas tree and focus on that and the upcoming holiday season instead of ongoing manipulation of the CT courts by Atty. P. and Pattisville. Thank goodness for the digger.....
MOO
