Haha Buddy! Glad you brought that post back as I wrote it after watching the Court appearance and then listening to Atty. P. on the steps of the Courthouse appear to threaten the 'alleged home invader' about whom he presented no proof.
I was incendiary at the time I wrote that post and frankly have zero recollection of writing it but I know I felt a bit better after doing so and hitting send!
Judge White was a breath of fresh air in Court yesterday but I still very much worry about the situation where if immediate steps aren't taken in Court by Atty Colangelo at the time of infractions (in and out of court) to define boundaries for Fd AND Atty. P., that chaos will ensue and justice will never prevail in this tragic case.
We have seen Atty. P. in 'runaway train mode' in Court back talking and interrupting Judge Blawie and IMO its a total waste of taxpayers money and Judge's time. Yesterday was the first time IMO we have seen a Judge say "ENOUGH" to Atty. P. and Fd.
Surprisingly enough, it worked IMO. I saw a few times where Atty. P. was going to start singing the familiar refrain of "I'ma gonna appeal" but bit his tongue. I'm sure Judge White would have had a few choice words for Atty. P. appeal song and I kinda wish we could have heard what those might have been. I think
@CTGrammy did a brilliant post awhile back on how to deal with toddlers and set boundaries and IMO that was for the most part the way Judge White treated Pattisville yesterday. IMO it was effective and productive.
It was as if the skies opened up and sunlight came out and all was good in Court for a brief second UNTIL the mention of '3 strikes and you are out' as it relates to release restrictions by the Judge and the doxxing of FB Group members by Atty. P. YIKES!!
I did a brief perusal of Harvard Law curriculum shortly ago and honestly can't see a class that the esteemed Judge White might have taken over his 3 years there which would have introduced him to the concept that the defendant can break the terms of release 3 times and you will only get punished on the last time? Great curriculum and wonderful school but just don't see this concept anywhere in a place that teaches the law. Maybe this is a 'CT Thing" and criminals count on it and so folks like Fd know that going to Stop and Shop and Starbucks or picking up sticks at 80 Mountain Spring in what appeared to be his unregistered white BMW falls into the guidelines of 'HOUSE ARREST'. IDK. But watching this house arrest situation play out is a bit like watching a bad SNL skit. All we needed yesterday was for a chipmunk to come flying out of Atty. P.'s ponytail to make the circus complete!
IMO its no wonder that we don't have more Press folks following the CT Courts as someone trained in the law would simply lose their minds following this nonsense.
MOO
