OPPT (One Person's Public Trial) - Tucci-Jarraf

[notorial dissent]

She does run true to form. Scarily true to form. So the appellate court can now look-forward to pounds and pounds of duly rejected and refused copies of the judgment and possibly more praecipes. 0f course she's going to have to get in forma pauper status first and that may take a fair bit of mental gymnastics since she maintains the mean old courts have no jurisdiction over her. Then, once she's stuck that landing she'll need to file something that isn't twaddle or they'll bounce it. More drama to come.

If they send her to Lompoc, perhaps i can visit her.

I think Lompoc is men only. Too bad — I’m curious how your visit would be received.

[Blackbeard]

When connecting dots, keep top of mind that when HATJ lands and sets foot on Federal Soil, the last parts unravel (ok, implode would be a more apt characterization

I guess there are things you can do in Federal prison that you can’t do in Federal court.

What are the odds that Bill Ferguson will relocate to whatever city Heather's permanent prison is in?

What are the odds that Bill Ferguson will ask for money to relocate to whatever city Heather's permanent prison is in?

FTFY

Obviously, 100%. I was trying to be a little bit sporting by limiting it to Bill actually relocating.

No women at Lompoc. You'd need hip boots anyway.

[GlimDropper]

Later natterings reveal that Heather is at FCI Dublin, the place looks pretty cushy.

[notorial dissent]

If she is going to CA, that just makes it that much easier for Bill, he is up in WA now, so him relocating, again, is not much of a stretch, and an almost sure bet.

[Jeffrey]

Little bit suspicious that they fail to mention Randy. Isn’t he supposed to be moved to South Carolina for his trial there?

[BoomerSooner17]

Randy? Who's that?

[Jeffrey]

Terran Bill has a new post explaining who the aliens he talks to are. Turns out (I’m interpreting) that the aliens are his split personalities so those conversations he posts are Bill talking to Bill.

He's just the sort of person I know I'd ask to be a character witness on my behalf. What a nutjob.

Also, not to wade in the cesspool of politics, but . . . what's with these people and their devotion to Trump?

[Gregg]

Anything more than say, two standard deviations from normal they love. All I'm gonna say and hope we don't wade away from topic on that.

Yep. Pretty much any "alternative news" gets reposted there. Crystals, aliens, past lives, Benjamin Fulford, Trump-related stuff, you name it. And of course all the TDA and financial conspiracy nonsense. If it bleeds stupidity, it leads.

You forgot the gets believed part.

Just one question, Gregg: are you saying that we have a President who is statistically significant?

[Jeffrey]

Prosperity scams need a messiah white horse figure. It was Obama back then, now it’s Trump. Anything that isn’t a Clinton or a Bush would be fine. I’d note that Heather went from claiming Jonathan Betts worked for the Obama White House and then the Trump White House without anyone noticing.

As an aside, would it be worth writing the prosecutor with some of the choicest fibs told by Tucci on the stand? I don’t know what the requirements are for perjury but at a minimum pretending to work for banks that she made up in order to pretend to have experience in finance seems like it should fit the bill.

I think it unlikely. There's no way that her fabulizing about her experience would have been material to the outcome of the trial. And I think that a materiality test is critical to prosecuting perjury. It's pretty clear that the jury didn't believe anything she had to say.

Also, to be convicted of perjury, you have to know you're lying. I suspect that the prosecution and perhaps the court wanted to avoid going down the road of a competency exam for Heather. Had the government tried to prosecute her for perjury on her claim to have been a big shot in the international financial system, it would have opened the door for her standby counsel to raise the competency issue and thus to either reduce her confinement or potentially even cause a deadlocked jury, with some moving to acquit out of sympathy. Better to just ignore it.

Its too bad that Heather wasn't ordered to pay restitution. If she had, I think that limits her commissary account, which they garnish to satisfy it. Yeah, I know, that's just mean. I never said I was nice.

Randy, on the other hand, I think was ordered to pay restitution, an amount he will of course never repay because its more than he's going to earn for the rest of his life.

Anyhow, I know if you have a restitution order they take a percentage of the sweet dollar a day prison pay (I don't know how much it really is, but I'm fairly sure its a piddling amount). But I wonder, do the likewise take money that Sheila and Bill F send in?
