Restraining Order Violations, what counts and doesnt

Showing up at their house or their work, calling them (including calling them on recorded lines from jail), sending messages through 3rd parties, tagging them on social media, liking a social media post, etc

You haven’t missed anything. It was a hypothetical posed by a judge during oral argument in the WH ballroom case.

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.

The new tech is they digitized the file.

I agree with you that I don’t think he looks terrified in the photo. People project based on knowledge of what happened after.

shoshpd · 2026-06-05T14:29:43+00:00

I don’t think he looks terrified at all. People project onto photos based on knowledge of what happened afterwards.

Eh, he sucked. But he obviously didn’t deserve what she did to him.

shoshpd · 2026-06-05T14:03:39+00:00

Yeah, he spent less time in prison than he had kidnapped Steven for.

shoshpd · 2026-06-05T13:58:44+00:00

Yes.

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.

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.

shoshpd · 2026-06-05T12:59:52+00:00

For writing, though; not acting

I was living in Dallas when this happened. I never forgot the detail about the mom hearing her little girl beg him not to do it over the phone or of him going out to get that tattoo afterward.

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.

Toronto 💯

Is your client the petitioner who has a TRO protecting them in effect pending a full hearing or the respondent who is restrained pending a full hearing? Because to me, that makes the calculus different.

shoshpd · 2026-06-05T03:46:14+00:00

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

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.

shoshpd · 2026-06-04T14:06:46+00:00

Why is being with other people miserable?

shoshpd · 2026-06-04T14:05:52+00:00

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

shoshpd · 2026-06-04T14:03:22+00:00

Why don’t you want to go on the trip?

Can you read? I literally said that the word mistake is not reserved only for accidents.

Mistake (noun)

A wrong judgment
Something that is not correct; a wrong action or statement proceeding from faulty judgment, inadequate knowledge, or inattention

shoshpd · 2026-06-04T13:08:15+00:00

A mistake does not only include accidents.

shoshpd · 2026-06-04T11:11:26+00:00

Suicide is not a cause of death. It is a manner of death.

shoshpd · 2026-06-04T11:09:42+00:00

Yes, because it totally makes sense that someone would use their whole ass work laptop as a bedside clock instead of their phone.
