Why in the world is there any reason to try to persuade or cause doubt about the Duke Law Review Journal? It seems to me that all free men and women can formulate their own opinion with regards to various forms of legal guidelines -case law and information available. Even if it is a content information piece or a 239yr old historical document that sets the floor & ceilings on the framework of our life,liberty and rights to all.
The Morris family can protest & picket all they want in the general public marketplace for all I care.
But to invade a single residence and target The Family of the accused is crossing the line again and again.
The picketers have had more than "Fair Opportunity" to get their message & grievances heard since Oct 2014.
via live picketing,Social Media,Broadcasted News Outlets,Print Publications and Billboards.
It is unfortunate that the demands and questions have unreasonable expectations for answers that are simply not there in October 2014 nor are they able to answer the same redundant and obtrusive questions in February 2015.
1st Amendment has limits and duty.
Sorry folks ..but Right to Assemble & Protest in a residential area with sole intent directed repeatedly at 1 private home is NOT legal. It actually is an actionable cause when the sole objective and purpose continued over and over to intimidate -harass and cause Infliction of Emotional Distress.
I am not for ANY Home Picketing or Invasion of Privacy - I was against it in 2014 and still stand opposed.
Just as I would not be for any one picketing the Morris home if roles were reversed.
tym, I appreciate your passion for websleuth cases. However: If the picketing is illegal, please post statute.
If the picketing is actionable, action probably would have been taken. Right?
If my child were missing, and I knew who was responsible, you can bet I would be doing everything legally within my power to do to get answers. And honestly, I probably would do whatever I thought I needed to do, legal or not, to find my child. However, since the law has not stopped the picketing, I'm assuming it is not illegal for the Morris camp to picket.
We do not know if the picketing will help, or hinder. So I cannot fault the Morris' for trying it, because it just might have some positive results for them.
As to the assertion the Morris' should be looking for Christina instead of picketing--puleese. How many cases do we know about where the missing are missing for umpteen years? Decades? Even with ping info, etc., a body is just too easy to either hide or dispose of, so if you can get the perpetrator to tell where she was taken out of the trunk of his car, perhaps that time is reduced to days, weeks, or months, instead.
Some people probably don't want to search, perhaps couldn't bear coming across remains. But they can picket, and so the family of a missing person utilizes the resources available to them.
I, for one, will not, at this time, fault the Morris' for doing any legal activity that would help them locate Christina.
