So court was interesting on Friday. As James and his wife were there. Larry Nimmer was also filming. Dan Reed was also present in the court filming.
Judge asked everyone if they have read his tentative. Estate goes first and agrees with the judges tentative. They talk about special relationships and fiduciary duty.he sites some cases.
Judge asks John S. If he feels these issues have been combined when should be looked at separate. John S says Yes .
Judge asks there’s an allegation that the companies were created for mentoring youth does the court take it as truth?
Jonathon Steainsapir says no. Cause there are no facts to allege that MJ could and should have fired himself.
Judge asks if they should take the allegation that companies were thee to mentor youth in entertainment as true.
John S says no because no facts support it. The idea that Mj could retain himself and supervise himself is not negligence law. We are only here cause Mj is dead. They would be going after him and if they win a judgment then will go after him and his companies.
Finaldi adds nothing new to argument saying Companies should have protected kids and MiJ can fire himself. Judge says but MJ Ventures wasn’t created till 93 and plaintiff (James )alleged abuse ended in 92 so even if I side with you would t the companies have had to be created?
Finaldi says No because as long as the abuse occurred during that time of engaging in activities involving kids that is our position. Judge says he won’t rule today. And the court will take it under submission.
Next up Wade Ve Doe Finaldi rehashes the same claims he argued last time. He is mad that the court has ordered him to pay. Talks again about McIsaac and how he felt she was coaching Leroy and how he called him a docubbag and an ambulance chaser. I want court to see my evidence
Judge tell him he understands Finaldi”s position but he calls it like he sees it and has an obligation to bring it up to holding lawyers accountable for their actions and when he sees unprofessional conduct.and says make no apology even if you are mad. You didn’t meet and
confer properly and brought an unsuccessful motion and that’s why the court imposed a fine.
Judge continued your party conduct will not be tolerated and that doesn’t violate your right for due process.
Finaldi says it’s important cause the daily journal wrote about me and it’s affecting my business. I suspended the deposition but he called me a Douchebag. Judge says you were off the record. Finaldi then says well if I was wrong why would they allow Branca to sit for a
deposition.
Judge says I’m gonna Impose you pay 9200 dollars and you have 30 days to pay it..
Sitting in that court room seeing James there and thinking how lucky he was that he got to hang out with Mj yet here we are 11 years after his death and your suing him for money. Disgusting. When he noticed the cameras rolled he looked like a sad puppy. We need to see what
happens next and how the judge will rule .When court ended Dan Reed ran out of the court room so fast. Him and his assistant hightailed it out of there. Maybe something to do with their subpoena last time. Which I witnessed and had no idea and thought he was getting
Transcripts early and thought to myself hey No fair I want them to why does he get them. Only after this week did I realize what a historical moment t I witnessed that saw Dan Reed getting a subpoena..
Again from here it’s a waiting game. I did get to chat with Larry and tell him how much I enjoyed his film and how that inspired me to look further into the Mj case. I’ll try and answer any questions you have about that day..
Forgot to mention that a journalist or the daily journal was in court to cover the sanctions portion. I spoke to the journalist and he’s a guy who writes for the legal articles dept. he wasn’t aware it was the Mj case and was just there to cover sanctions.
I asked him if he saw Leaving Neverland and he said yes. I told him if he was aware that there were about 60 probable court documented lies in that film and he said he didn’t know. I told him it’s tragic that media never report the true facts of this case.

Hi everyone thanks for the kind messages and being so patient. So much to unpack. I’d first like to thank @MJJRepository and @andjustice4some both these incredible advocates provide us with information without them I wouldn’t know where to go to hear the cases.
As you guys know Thursday was about the pending motions to be talked about I have to say that this was the best hearing I’ve attended. If it was a film it would have you on an emotional roller coaster Intrigue, law drama, comedic moments, sadness, suffering, empathy and justice.
Most of all your heart breaks for the kind human being who is being accused of the most heinous crime known to man and he is not here to defend himself, who in his lifetime was vindicated and cleared.
I’m so devastated about the Beirut blast. My home country has been through so much. On top of dealing with a pandemic . I cried all day at how easily I could have lost my family. Thank god they are ok. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones.
If you are ever annoyed at having to wear a mask during these un certain times please remember that there are always people who have it worse. Some Lebanese will have to sleep in shattered homes during a deadly pandemic lead by corupt polioticians in a tense political climate.😓
This is an MJ account and I don’t want to make this political but I’m reminded about MJs compassion for humanity, his message and how his songs are relevant to uplifting people during tragic times.
Hi everyone didn’t want to post anything court related yesterday. I attended court yesterday and wanted to let you guys know that the Judge will be separating the two cases. Since Wade is much further along the judge felt that lumping them together would not be good for
the jurors. Finaldi argued that they knew each as kids and will be witnesses in each other’s cases and that they are simply cases of abuse done through companies.Regardless judge will separate them. They discussed the motions Wade wanted addressed and set a date for them.
In September. The judge said although cases back on appeal have three years to be heard his goal is to have this case ie Wade’s go to trial sooner than later as it’s been on going for both parties for a long time. They set a date for W’s trial :June 14 2021 and will take take
@SenhorLovejoy @Kathrynbee12 1.Saville victims father never accused a man of abuse to get a movie deal for 20 million by attempted blackmail.. where there is recorded audio of such intention. Saville victims father never drugged his son to tell a different story.
@SenhorLovejoy @Kathrynbee12 2 Saville victims didn't emancipate from their parents refuse to testify and be seen as victim and put a retaining order on their own parent who tried to Mj for another 60 million.
@SenhorLovejoy @Kathrynbee12 3. Saville victims dnt have a mom turn out to be a scammer who frauded Jc penny and celebs and the government who then after a 14x acquittal ended up indicted on fraud charges. Saville didn't have two grand juries, a trial and surprise raids with FBI help who found nothing.
1) Hi guys sorry for the delay it's been a long day for me. Just wanted to give you a summary of how things unfolded given that only HBO spoke.
The judge started off by saying how interesting this case was. He then commented on.seeing Branca in court.
Basically made a joke about how he got older and he remembers him when he was a lawyer who told him he wanted to do entertainment law. Back to the case he says maybe he shouldn't have initiated the anti slapp for HBO but now he must do something quickly.
HBO starts saying this case was about a lawsuit that's a red herring on estates part and that its a strategic lawsuit against telling the world about the allegations and the anti slapp should be able to stop this lawsuit from chilling speech.
1 Hi guys so let me start by saying I'm.mot a lawyer and will wait like you for Punchys in depth analysis of today. I'll share the notes I took and could catch. Estate said we are here for a motion to compel. HBO then spoke and said this is a question that's down to language
2. They said this is. Not infinite that we are barred about saying something bad about Mj. The judge interrupts and says that is for the arbiter to decide. They are saying we breached the no disparagement. The judge cuts in and says insulting Mj a disparagement is a disparagement
3. Judge says there is a provision that states that you shall.not disparage singer. hBo then says you have tot look at the totalit#y and this is about a concert why are they mentioning the dangerous tour. Judge again says it does t get around disparagement and again says
