Finaldi's argument re: Fox/Spence was improperly redacted, allowing one to still read what it says. 😆

And it is nothing but more blind, meaningless conjecture just to try anything he can to depose Spence/Fox.

Here's the unredacted version for Fox.

A big ole nothing-burger.
For Spence, Finaldi argues that because Spence slept in MJ's bedroom and his family got gifts from him, this somehow makes a tie to the "procurement" of CSA with other kids and shows signs of grooming (recall that Wade's allegations actually skip any such "grooming" efforts.) 🤦‍♂️
While Finaldi keeps fuming over the sanctions imposed against him and the judge's tentative note that his unprofessional conduct toward MJ's counsel could be construed as gender incivility...

He has no problem claiming Spence/Fox were "unwitting parties" to CSA procurement. 🙄
Finaldi says Fox communicated w/ "individuals whom Wade believes had knowledge of MJ's crimes..."

But the only person who should've "suspected" crimes was Wade's mother—as approached by Gutierrez in 1992.

No staff ever suggested this until their tabloid paydays post-Aug. 1993.

ROBSON CASE UPDATE:

Following last week's filings from Spence/Fox opposing Finaldi's motions, Lily & Tabitha filed their own this week.

"NO new LEGITIMATE FACTS or LAW have been presented to warrant reconsideration of Court's September 24, 2020 order."

mjjr.net/docs/2020-11-1… Image
The attorney for Chandler/Marks has classified Finaldi's aggressive tactics as "persistent harassment and invasion of privacy" and in direct contradiction to Finaldi's own suggestion that "alleged victims and their families" shouldn't be obliged to discuss anything with him. ImageImage
Lily's Attorney: "A cursory examination of Plaintiff’s submission reveals that these arguments lack merit. Instead, the instant motion for reconsideration is nothing more than Plaintiff’s FRIVOLOUS ATTEMPT at a second bite of the proverbial apple."

CASE UPDATE: Finaldi sanctioned big time!

In a tentative order (finalized tomorrow), judge has imposed $9,200 SANCTIONS against Finaldi payable to estate within 30 days.

The judge agreed w/ estate—amount is for "time spent directly opposing the motion."

mjjr.net/docs/2020-10-1…
The judge noted how Finaldi's complaints and arguments were premature and generally insufficient.

Finaldi also "fails to address the reasonableness of the sanctions requested by defense counsel" in his 10 page declaration—he can still try arguing that at tomorrow's hearing. Image
Once again, the judge points out Finaldi's cited case law in arguments "does not support his contention" against the Court-imposed sanctions.

"The Court concludes that it is appropriate in this matter for sanctions to be awarded against Finaldi based on the plain language..." Image

THREAD: Dan Reed's motion to quash US subpoenas that he and his production firm received by the estate on Sept. 21, 2020.

Dan has filed a court motion detailing his plans for LN:2 while attempting to quash the estate's subpoenas very recently lodged toward Dan and Amos Pictures.
Dan indicates he has been in LA county for a month "for the sole purpose of filming the proceedings of these cases" and that he will fly back to the UK on October 18, until next March.

He is officially hired by Channel 4 "News & Current Affairs" for the production of LN:Part 2.
For LN:2, Dan alleges it is "about current events taking place partly in public view...an unfolding narrative with multiple points of view. There are multiple parties involved...plaintiffs, defendants, and the Court"

He states it will premiere after the cases have concluded.

DEPOSITION DUMP:

Gayle Goforth (Housekeeper 1989-2002) - Full Depo 2016-10-24 (237 Pages): mjjr.net/docs/Depositio…

Deposed by Finaldi.
Follow-up by Liskin.

Another witness Finaldi hoped would bolster his case based on tabloid tales, but fell flat. She believes MJ was innocent.
Finaldi tossed in Quindoy's tabloid tale that he warned staffers "never leave MJ alone with a kid!" (Quindoys spoke positively of MJ until pay-day after Chandlers, this never happened.)

Gayle confirmed no staff told her any such thing. "That's something I would have remembered."
In another part of Finaldi's reoccurring questioning, he attempts to paint Gayle like all the other staff as "untrained" to know about sexual abuse or report it.

Gayle explains to him that her own son *was* abused by a coach and his demeanor had changed dramatically after.

WADE ROBSON CASE UPDATE: Here is a rush copy of the judge's rulings from today's hearing w/ many thanks to @andjustice4some.

FINALDI LOST across the board and in a scathing fashion from judge—ordered to PAY SANCTIONS to Fox & Spence to the tune of $6270!

mjjr.net/docs/2020-09-2…
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. 😂

THREAD: Estate's Renewed Demurrer Motion in Safechuck's Case

This week, MJ's team has filed the anticipated demurrer motion in Safechuck's case, refreshing claims that the prior judge & appellate never ruled on.

A tentative in-person hearing on this demurer will be Oct 16 2020.
The estate argues JS' claims are fatally defective—"No amendment can cure these defects."

1. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
2. Negligence
3. Negligent Supervision
4. Negligent Retention/Hiring
5. Negligent Failure to Train, Warn, Educate
6. Breach of Fiduciary Duty
The estate summarizes how James never bothered appealing the original dismissal against the estate.

Instead, James (like Wade) shifted their financially motivated claims by "artfully attempting to recharacterize the alleged misconduct as 'negligence' of the two corporations."
