Vince Finaldi is just as much a liar as Wade and James are. He totally misrepresents the ruling. Reality is that Young's ruling explains using several precedents why the companies didn't owe James a duty of care - the opposite of turning decades of CSA rulings on their head.
I also remember when after the appeal court verdict Manly bragged about how Finaldi's genius won them the appeal. Then in recent court filings they falsely claimed they successfully challenged Judge Beckloff's ruling when in reality they just got lucky with a law change.
Or who can forget that they started their appeal court paper by accusing Beckloff of being starstruck. Not only it's complete nonsense but also very unprofessional. Something I can't imagine going down well with any court.
And who can forget this gem of an interview including stuff like this?
Guilters: "This verdict doesn't prove MJ was innocent. It's just about MJ's companies not being able to control MJ."
1) No trial is ever about proving someone innocent. That's impossible in most cases since it would be proving a negative.
This is why it is the accuser who has the burden of proof in a court of law. So the verdict "not proving MJ innocent" is completely meaningless here. No verdict will ever prove someone innocent.
2) Yes, a demurrer is "technical" but so is this whole lawsuit: MJ's companies are being sued because MJ is dead and they can't face him. So they try to find a way to make money of him in other ways.
During his heyday in the early 2000s Wade Robson used to have a fan forum (I know...) due to his work with boybands. On that forum there was this thread where members asked a certain "John" about him.
I was told this was his cousin, Jonathan (so actually "Jon") who was the admin of his website. He died since (committed suicide a few years ago due to depression).
I always found this exchange interesting. "When he does something wrong he will never apologize, when it's clearly his fault. He always has to get things his way no matter what,even if it hurts other people."
That right there is the description of a sociopath.
In his latest blog post Wade added to his "shame" narrative. It's very contradictory. He claims his shame all these years was subconscious: "After beginning my healing process... I realized that although I didn't know it, I had been living under the tyranny of shame."
However, his mother in her testimony said that when she asked Wade about why he testified the way he did in 2005, he told him it was because of the shame of what had allegedly happened. But that would be a very much conscious shame.
Elsewhere Wade claims he thought he was completely fine with what he claims happened and he thought there was nothing wrong with it. This is a totally contradictory narrative. If he felt it was no big deal, then how did he feel shame?
@AnnieIsNotFkOk@ObserverReport It's futile to try to assume JC's mind re this lawsuit but I have my theory which is a kind of Stockholm Syndrome from his father at the time. Or that this secret/sin of falsely accusing MJ that they had together gave Evan some sort of power over him to make him do what he wanted
@AnnieIsNotFkOk@ObserverReport This lawsuit is a carbon copy of Evan's so it was definitely done under Evan's directions.
@AnnieIsNotFkOk@ObserverReport This is from Nathalie's divorce papers from around the same time. Nathalie had Jordan live with her for a while when he emancipated himself, but after that it seems Evan regained some sort of psychological control over JC which he also used to alienate him from them.
@MJJRepository This is the July 13, 2016 letter referred to that Finaldi & Manly disseminated to the media. Huffing and puffing about "dozens of boys" who supposedly got secret settlements, citing "media reports" (ie. tabloids) as the source of this claim. LOL.
@MJJRepository Of course, there are no secret settlements. This is nothing but huffing and puffing by Finaldi & co. This was actually the first thing they did on this case. Releasing this letter to the public, all the while knowing its contents are nonsensical.
@MJJRepository Settlements don't and cannot prohibit anyone from testifying in court. The MJ Estate doesn't need to release anyone from confidentially obligations for them to be able to testify. Jordan could testify without legal consequences, just like Jason Francia was able to.
Again. Since my timeline is again full of completely useless focus on known haters by MJ fans. Please #MJfam, if y'all are bored, try to put your energy into something more productive. Arguing with hard core haters is not that, IMO. Or at least stop tagging me in these. Thanks.
Y'all are giving haters the attention they are craving. If you're bored there's so much more to talk about re. MJ than going around in circles with haters. HIStory25, for example. He's so much more than those damn allegations!
Don't get me wrong. Advocacy for his innocence is important and I'll keep doing it. But arguing with known hard core haters as a hobby? Such waste of time. Talk to those who are open minded. Trying to convince these unhinged people of anything doesn't interest me.
