Evidentiary hearing, June 7, after the second break Judge Olmedo back on the bench. Judge: With regard to notice, the People brought to the court's attention the concerns on May 10, and the court set an evidentiary hearing I believe that same day. So that was set for May 31. Notice was sent out to all counsel.
“She's saying that the documents be turned over to us, and we will agree not to share them with anyone else.” Does it matter now, the toothpaste is already out of the tube. I do hope this makes a lot if media feeds. “Mesereau not to be trusted with your confidential information.” Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she. 🤷♀️
Let’s see, how many religions hire PIs to harass critics, hire lawyers to file frivolous law suites against perceived enemies, try to get journalists fired for telling the truth, threaten families with expulsion if they object to family members joining the cult, protect criminal church members committing fraud, child abuse, rape and human rights violations? And on top of that they interfere with our justice system in any way they can. Any guesses?
I have many questions, but will leave it to one and a comment: First of all, the defense attorneys speak gobbelty gook to me. My question is, even though Olmedo will sanction the previous attorneys, CofS still has private information on the JDs. According to testimonies from each of them regarding continuing harassment and surveillance, sanctioning won't make any difference.
On another note, Tony, I'd love to edit your reports though I do realize you're typing as fast as you can to get us the latest greatest expeditiously. Love you much and thank you for outstanding work!
Maybe won’t make a difference--the documents horse has left the barn--but CSI knows that the justice system now knows, too. And so do a lot of the public. It’s not even an “almost found out.” It has been found out.
I heartily agree! The personal information was the worst leak in this. Dangerous for the JDs. The silver lining is that perhaps this will add to the civil case and help prove intended intimidation and harassment.
Messy and Appalling document handling.
I wonder if this can be used as evidence in the civil trial as also showing harassment by COS.
Hopefully.
Interesting idea. Probably can only be used if there's another document leak. OH Boy!

That is my concern also, Val.

Yes, thank you, Tony. We need more judges like judge Olmedo. She obviously does her homework and comes prepared and doesn’t take BS
Amen.
I wonder if they will appeal.

I agree, Elwyn, but the fact personal information was released of the JDs is my concern. No way to put the horse back in the barn, as you pointed out.
