given there was no crime and my wife hired him and made all the arrangement

I knew a drug addict that had 23 companies signed in his name

Anyways, what does this have to do with the wife? I would have been like, "Bitch, I don't have a contract with you. Show me the contract where your and my names are on it." Was it a joint holding between them?

Dude disappeared one day

you don't understand

we didn't KNOW he existed

my wife hired another guy

most of those companies turned out to be scams and he was a useful idiot to put the name on the paper

ok

that guy then made it look like the criminal worked for him

Him being a drug addict I would not rule out him just ODing somewhere unbeknown

so the police and even me have no clue who to contact when the guy hired says, 'it's not mine"

Can't know with these people

All I can say is thank god for presumption of innocence

ikr

he is in prison at least; small concilation

i was able to beat him pro-se though in civil court; he had to appeal it which is what i expected; i just wanted him to show his hand beforehand

boy, was his attorney sore. Those that argue pro-se have a fool for a client and to be an ACTUAL attorney and get beaten by some fool...

must have stung his ego

indeed

the reason they say that, though, if it's not out of self-interest, is cuz you don't wanna be emotional and defensive. You need cooler heads who are objective to prevent you from saying stupid shit

Question: Is it okay to be white?

oh definately

No, macka. It isn't. You should feel ashamed. Kill yourself. <:DrinkBleach:590859953225334794>

just the rules of evidence alone or some point of procedure can easily cost you a case say nothing for the emotional and bias element

yep

But take consolation in the fact that the law is a precise endeavor and those rules all serve a useful purpose

i only used the tactic because i was pressed for cash at the time, i knew he was going to prison soon and i wanted him to think i had nothing

I'll be honest, I'm not the greatest at courtroom procedure

One that I do know, however, is Rule 12 of the FRCP. What used to be called Demurrer

Very useful

ah, yeah that one was useful

the local rules were more of a pain in the ass; i think that's why he chose that area to run his scams

thanks @Marushia Dark i knew i'd get an intelligent answer

The procedures are opaque if you don't speak legalize, but judges will usually go easy on you as a pro-se litigant specifically cuz you're not trained. Honestly, in some cases, you're better off just operating the way you think the justice system OUGHT to work and let them worry about how to parse it into the rules. The only real exception to this is jurisdiction and capacity, which most people don't know about and that's where they get fucked is they presume they're supposed to be there and that the charges apply to them

i was appauled that courts in the same state, even adjacent counties could be so radically different

@macka

> i was appauled that courts in the same state, even adjacent counties could be so radically different

Yep

that's a weird card

yeah, i can see lack of standing throwing people as well
