I agree with you. The Civil Case did Atty. P. client FD no good in terms of character and ethics as FD did what we had already seen him do in Family Court. Not only that but it was discovered that the MT affair started in 2015 vs 2016. We also saw the attempt to intimidate potential criminal court witness LA by Atty BM in her deposition which was a particularly bush league ploy IMO. My guess is that Pattisville and all its legal and PI minions will do whatever they can to drag anyone and everyone close to JD, her family, her employees and her children through the mud and it will prove painful to all involved. But this type of behaviour from the Defence is sadly what happens in cases when the truth isn't on your side. But, I am hopeful that if the State proves its cases as outlined in the 2 AW's seen so far then FD and MT will eventually head to prison for many years IMO.
The issue of premeditation will no doubt loom large in the Criminal case and so what we learned in the Civil case was that in FD's mind that 'things changed in 2010'-relationship with JD and the Farber Family most notably. This issue of 'things changing in 2010' was first introduced in the infamous Greek Interview articles. So, this fact shows that FD via FORE had been scheming and grifting JF and the Farber Family since at least 2010 IMO. Money IMO has to go to the top of the motive list and I'm not sure there is anything Atty. P. can do to redeem the character of his client who has proven himself to be a LIAR in both Family Court and Civil Court on the stand and under oath. Lots to unpack here I think in terms of what we have seen in Civil Court.
Any Criminal Case jury would have to wonder if there is anything in the world to stop FD from doing anything to JF if it stood between him and her and her families money? Any jury would also have to think of JD trapped in a marriage with 5 small children with a husband that didn't care about her, her family or her children for seven long and painful years and where a mistress/HO was present since 2015 as an ongoing presence and who eventually came to work each day at 4Jx while JD lived there with her children.
We didn't learn in the Civil Case how much money FD made himself or how much he might have taken from JF or the Farber Family, other than the $2.5-$1.7 million they claim he owes them. Not surprisingly Atty. P. and FD don't feel anything is owed to the Farber family but this didn't stop FD from saying on the stand today that GF owed him the $14,000 gift that he gets each year 'as that is their agreement'! I love the idea that in the mind of FD and Atty. P. that agreements only are relevant when they are in the favour of FD or Atty. P.!
Atty. P. seems to take great pride in his 'look' and personal grooming standards. But I do agree with you that today had Atty. P. looking to be in pain of some kind - perhaps boredom of Civil Court which he was complaining about or not being the centre of attention and having to sit and be quiet or perhaps a lunchtime sandwich that upset his large tummy? IDK but he did a masterful job of playing Mr. Crankypants outside the Courthouse tonight IMO.
But I am sure that for someone like Atty. P. [who doesn't have a case IMO] to sit in Court all day just sitting at the desk and doodling that he probably walked out of that Court and wanted to kill someone and so the first unfortunate person to run into his wrath and boredom was the poor female reporter!
Self control and professional behaviour don't really seem to play any role in the life of Atty. P. IMO, so if he was in a cranky mood and had been bored all day then he was going to lash out at the first person unfortunate enough to run into him and that's what we saw play out!
MOO
