@AndyKing191 @Hemp81984C @TheGreenOldDill Actually that is exactly what happens in civil cases when you fail to appear, get arrested on a warrant and post a bond. The court can certainly apply the bond to the amount owed.

@proamericapol I have a relative who is an RN who thinks she knows all about meds but that’s the problem. She’s not an MD. Just because you think you know, doesn’t mean you do.

@LeviABx Imagine being a self employed car mechanic or handyman and having people criticize you for suing people when you don’t get paid.

[Jody Meyer @jayhawklove]

@LeviABx Most debtors chose to ignore the order and don’t appear. If they are properly served and done appear, the attorney can ask for and the judge may sign a bench warrant for failing to obey a court order, ie show up on court.

@LeviABx As an attorney, here is the process: person owed money sends bills to person who owes it (medical provider to patient). Probably sent multiple bills. Patient ignores them or can’t pay. Bills get turned over for collection.

It’s crazy to think that Rick Springfield is 13 years older than Bon Jovi and yet looks and sounds younger than Bob Jovi.

I avoided commenting on the Lindsay Clancy trial because its nuanced and emotional but the implications are enormous so I am going to say something now. A lot of people are calling that one juror who wouldn't join the other eleven irrational. But, that juror is probably the only one asking the right questions imo: where is the evidence that she lacked the capacity to know it was wrong or to stop herself? And, maybe, where do we draw the line on what an ostensibly insane person is allowed to do when the doubt the defense manufactured rests on nothing in the record before the killings? It seems that the entirety of the defense position rests on improbable probabilities and that's a low bar for such a heinous act.

1. Postpartum psychosis is rare, and almost always happens in the first 4 weeks. The idea that some psychiatrists extend the postpartum window to a year is true, but for depression and anxiety. The evidence isn't strong for psychosis, and its latching on to improbability

2. The strongest risk factor for postpartum psychosis is preexisting bipolar disorder or a prior psychotic episode. She had neither before her third child. The real time evidence from her doctors/providers indicate this. The bipolar label that showed up was after significant polypharmacy, and any good psychiatrist will tell you that you cannot diagnose primary disease when multiple drugs could be offending agents. Drug-induced psychosis would show better temporal correlations with her medications and should be a mitigation argument at sentencing. Again, very improbable alignment

3. The proxy for intent is planning, and she clearly planned... she sent her husband to some restaurant they don't normally go to, checked the drive time, texted a specific order at 5:07 pm... she killed her children in sequence. That's demonstrating real time decision making. I don't understand how they circumvented this. Again, very improbable that she was able to make decisions up until it becomes a liability

4. This idea of a "voice" that commanded her is so post-hoc as a defense. The ltierature on command hallucinations show most people don't obey them and the compliance occurs when the voice is familiar. This was a first time voice she only ever reported 2 weeks after killing her kids. And this first time voice asked her to... kill all her children AND she listened to this unfamiliar voice? Again... very improbable

The improbability is so stark that it's almost undeniably a sympathy verdict from the jurors conflated with a misunderstanding of postpartum disease. The easiest way to demonstrate this is to take a father with the same chart, months of documented depression, insomnia, suicidal ideation but no psychosis then strangles his kids after arranging for his wife to be away from the house. 100% guilty.

Everyone knows postpartum disease is real and important. Everyone knows she's sick and needed help, possibly much better management. You can even argue she is insane. What I see to be the most important is where we draw the line of what we allow under the "insanity" rule. Massachusetts forces a binary verdict of guilty or not criminally responsible but this is a case for the third that other states have and which is guilty but mentally ill. We have a responsibility to speak for the unheard voices of these children and future children and say we draw the line at murdering children.

@JonathanTurley Curious if in that state his statements warrant a disciplinary complaint.

@libsoftiktok This seems like some kind of an attorney ethics violation.
