yeah, I can see that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Prior tries to bring up that his client was bothered / intimidated / annoyed / “harassed” / any other word to that effect by Nate. He “followed” them to Hawaii, he repeatedly met up with them, filming them and asking questions, continuing to do so when it was clear they wouldn’t talk to him. We haven’t seen video of Chad or Lori saying “please leave us alone and stop bothering us”, so who knows if they ever did, but I would not at all be surprised if arguments that sound like this come up with Prior. And it does make some sense to me - this reporter followed them through multiple locations, constantly tried to get something from them, helped bring this story to much, much more than a local level.
now - with all that said - I personally do not think Nate or EIN crossed some line, he was doing his job; I am ONLY trying to present what I think the defense argument MIGHT be regarding all of this - that’s all. Of course the actions of Chad and Lori themselves could be said to have brought all of this on themselves, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Defense tries to argue that some of the following thru other states, getting exclusive footage of them in airports and with their rental cars, visiting their property (remember that crazy video with Emma, who made it clear her disdain for reporters?? Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking of with all of this. Of course it’s pure speculation on my part - but I think thinking about what and why the Defense is doing this - or trying to - is interesting lol )
