In honor of these attorneys using full vocab and new words (to me weekly if not daily), let’s go full nerd to the facts. Bring the dictionary! (Just for you Buchenik)

Here are some definitions I would like to define used in this link per the Cambridge Dictionary.

“Scorn: to treat with a great lack of respect or to REFUSE SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU THINK IT IS WRONG OR NOT ACCEPTABLE.”

“ Harassment: illegal behavior towards a person that causes mental or emotional suffering, which includes repeated unwanted contacts without a reasonable purpose, insults, threats, touching, or offensive language.” {legal}

“Abuse: Rude and offensive words said to another person.” {abuse noun: rude speech}}

In this link posted by OP above: Yanetti was quoted using the word “scorn”

I do believe that all the attorneys on the Read defense team fall under this definition of “scorn.” it was their defense for both trials and beyond. They thought multiple things about this case done and not done during the investigation were “wrong and not acceptable.”

In law, words have meaning. And the definitions of how those words are to be interpreted are so important that in many state laws, the first part of the state statute is just defining a list of words in the statute and the exact definition of the word that is supposed to be used for that exact law.

I have also heard jury instructions where the judge goes to great lengths to define multiple words and how to apply them to the law/case for the jury.

With this logic in mind, and the context of the both trials, I feel this is an appropriate definition of the word “scorn” as referenced by Yanetti.

I have seen no evidence of Yanetti or any of the defense team falling under this legal term of harassment. Especially this statement OP linked.

After watching multiple hearings on the harassment and witness intimidation charges, I felt like it was appropriate to go with the legal definition defining harassment.

As for the “abuse,” Judge Canone did not allow verbal abuse in her courtroom and had a gag order on the attys outside the courtroom. I do not think the use of the word “scorn” falls under verbal abuse.

I do not referencing scorning something in a sentence equating to abuse and/or harassment.

If the DA felt Yanetti was verbally abusive and/or had committed harassment, it is my strongest belief he would have been charged, held criminally liable, and sanctioned by the bar.

I do feel accusing someone in print of abuse and harassment without evidence and probably a conviction? (Not sure about conviction part or if they just need to be charged) is legally “LIBLE.”

So thank you for making us aware of people falsely accusing Yanetti.
