This is a lovely excerpt that emphasizes how desperate Finaldi's entire basis is.
Much like Sneddon, rather than relying on the merits of his own cases he keeps insisting on the Chandler case despite completely unrelated.
The judge saw right through this and his mistreatment.
Everything Finaldi attempts ends up backfiring.
The judge blasted Finaldi for his unprofessionalism and "gender incivility" against MJ's attorney as part of reviewing the records, based on Finaldi's own attempt to demand sanctions and protective order against the estate. 😂
The icing on the cake is that the judge on his own accord (NOT at the estate's request) is going to determine even more ADDITIONAL SANCTIONS against Finaldi's side for making his unsuccessful motions for protective orders.
Finaldi's firm remains heavily indebted in this case. 🍿
Here's the current state of guilter culture.
I shared this new update to their sub without any personal opinion attached, and it was still promptly removed by their mods.
This is why people like Dimond end up so shocked when the outcome favors MJ, they live in a total bubble.
The judge refers to 2023.010 w/ intent to issue more sanctions (amount to be determined) for Finaldi's opposition to protection orders by 4 parties.
Amber Heard was dealt a similar blow in 2018 and the sanction was $6,850 (typically sanctions are $500-$1,200 per infraction).

Defense has replied to the "Jane Doe" related motion for a protective order. That motion was filed in August as an effort to prevent the defense from deposing her mom and obtaining records relating to Susan's previously self-withdrawn abuse claims.
The underlying justification Susan and her mom used to fight a depo (and record requests) was that her mom was aging and unwell.
Note the hypocrisy in Finaldi's support of this motion, when his firm pursued multiple complete non-parties since 2016 regardless of health condition.
The defense calls the statements used in her motion "attempts to deflect attention from her deficient evidence...they are false."
Further, they argue her supporting materials are inadmissible and ineffective due to "hearsay, lack foundation and are not properly authenticated."
🤣 It's Finaldi's signature as the attorney representing Jane Doe's mom to contest the estate's subpoena and depositions.
Finaldi was also the one responsible for sprinkling Jane Doe's allegations into the mix again via many filings and exhibits since 2017, despite irrelevance.
What ever happened to Vince's early retirement? Finaldi told Dan for LN2 that this was the reason he had to replace his entire law firm with Carpenter's. He'd never lie!
All while acting like the estate's requests are somehow more unreasonable than Finaldi's own for many years.
Let's recall some of the conduct Finaldi made against non-parties that he had pursued for years to depose.
This included the Chandlers calling Finaldi's conduct "persistent harassment" and attempts of invading their privacy.
Telling the media he wouldn't stop searching Jordan.
It was not the estate, but Wade and James' attorneys who continued trying to slip unvetted claims by Susan ("Jane Doe") through exhibits and TV specials even 8 years after that case was self-dismissed.
The estate's issuance of subpoenas & depos of her family is a result of that.
I suspect Susan was unaware that her bizarre claims were still seeping into the narrative of Wade and James, in an effort to bolster their so-called evidence. Claims that were so poorly drafted and copy/pasted in 2016 that Finaldi even referred to her as a "him" in the complaint.
The irony isn't lost how Marion is challenging the subpoenas due to poor health, discomfort and lack of any actual knowledge of Susan's claims.
Flashback the countless parties Wade's attorneys pursued for years to depose, despite being complete non-parties and in poor health.
CONTINUED: Additional observations from Joy's 1994 grand jury testimony, representing the freshest and most raw narrative of events. Not the suddenly "evolving memories" that they would claim post-2012 as part of the claims.
The "shopping sprees" commonly raised to suggest grooming patterns against Wade was just a single shopping trip on their first visit that both Wade and Chantal were part of.
MJ allowed them to buy "toys, records, CDs" as was a common gesture he allowed for all visiting families.
On their Feb. 1991 visit, Joy was directly part of those in the theater during Wade's dance practice.
She watched it for two hours, alongside choreographer Bruno Falcon. Adding that MJ "probably would have" let anybody in who wanted to observe.
Joy's 94 GJ testimony decimates the post-2012 claims.
- Whole family went on Grand Canyon tour.
- 1st trip was preplanned 1 month regardless of MJ/NL.
- Contact w/ MJ only spawned by Joy (and dad) calling to get his info.
- L.A. Gear paid/arranged next visit, not MJ/companies.
To add:
- MJ's visa sponsorship specific to Wade had "no money associated with it whatsoever." Wade did not actually work for MJ.
- It was Joy's hope to stay in US, not MJ's. (She told 90s media MJ said "follow your heart." Now pretends MJ pressured them and tore family apart.)
- Joy's "employment" with MJJ Productions was as a conduit for sponsorship. She had NO contract with MJJP or actual work duties there. Her real job at Pigment's Cosmetics would send her paychecks to MJJ Productions, to redistribute. So that money was from external job, not MJJP.
Imagine being a self-described journalist in 2025 (@mulkerrins) writing paragraphs about James' "mental tour" through the "sex" he says he had daily at iconic locations around NL.
Without acknowledging the aforementioned train station never existed in his abuse timeline—at all.
In another paragraph the author even acknowledges, per James, "the abuse tailed off as Safechuck reached his teens."
This is consistent with his 4 versions of lawsuits where he has their "relationship" tapering off by 1990. Three years before the station began construction.
The author doesn't bother to ask James about this discrepancy, which the filmmaker himself attempted to defend as getting "the end of the abuse" wrong.
This was before Dan had evidently read James' years of lawsuits and contradicts LN's own timeline that places it prior to 1990.
