@Twistinginthewind, from your mouth to GOD/or divine being of your choosing's ear!Good guesses, afitzy. I think the judge/courts/State are doing everything in their power to proceed with the civil trial against FD on 12/3.
The main reason I believe this is because every single time MT (or FD for that matter) has gone to court, it has seemed to be a very brief and content-free 'continuance' to a new date and nothing else (aside from closed door meetings beforehand). They certainly give the impression that they're punting, punting, punting...
My guess is that they (LE/State/judges) don't want the criminal trials to get ahead of the civil trial in December because the civil trial is going to be an explosive dressing down of FD (and MT for that matter) and establishment of their motive, motive, motive... for the murder of Jennifer.
Moo, Moo, Moo
I just looked again and Atty Weinstein filed to compel compliance with open discovery items in 30 days but we haven't seen an order to mandate this by Judge Noble that I see. Not sure why it has been radio silence from the Judge in Civil Court as there are any number of pending motions to resolve I think. I keep hoping for a final judgment to simply show up one day as a one line order from Judge Noble but I don't think it will happen unfortunately! We also haven't seen Atty. P. respond to the Judge Noble order either after Atty Weinstein filed a motion for the Judge to reconsider. So, Atty. P. is still in the deposition mix possibly as it would be great to figure out the Greek Benefactor situation once and for all and see where all this money is coming from to support FD five or six attys.
