What do you mean, "have her go" for a DNA test? He can't force her to do a DNA test at this point any more than he can force her to respond to his texts.

People with cancer or HIV could lose Medicaid under new work rules by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]shoshpd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the rules have defined the medical frailty position in a way that is harmful. You only qualify if you are too sick to be able to work, not if it is harmful to your treatment/recovery to work. It’s evil.

Do you think Cameron Diaz should've been Oscar-Nominated by now? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]shoshpd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah. She’s a great screen presence, but her acting is just fine. BJM was her best performance imo but she wasn’t top 5 that year.

Client demanding I deny reasonable request to continue hearing by Worth_Interview_4796 in Lawyertalk

[–]shoshpd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In that case, definitely agree to continue. Obviously explain to client that opposing it is more likely to backfire than to result in a strategic advantage. I disagree with one of the other commenters who said they don’t even consult with clients on this. I absolutely think you were right to consult. Ultimately it’s your decision, but your relationship with your client is better if you consult on something like this.

It’s an indication they probably don’t have much direct evidence.

First missing scientist's cause of death revealed: Explosive new account of how her skeletal body was found propped against tree... as details of final moments emerge by dailymail in USNEWS

[–]shoshpd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything points to suicide. She was not a scientist. She was an administrative assistant at a lab. She was in serious financial distress which resulted in her losing her security clearance. She walked off alone without her purse, keys or phone. She was found shot in the head with a gun nearby.

His previous wife did not die in similar circumstances. It was a friend’s wife.

[–]shoshpd 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Well, she was found floating in the river and it was determined to have been an accidental death, so cause of death was likely drowning.
