@ClaytonsJustice I'm sure this has been questioned billions of times already, but how is she Ronn's primary caregiver when Jan also lives with him, in the same bedroom in fact? (& yes, I know the point of this is to keep laying the groundwork for her not being able to be incarcerated bc of Ronn)
@DouglasWei43233@MightBeUrDaddy8 One might even go so far as to say that it's not just permissible--it's the whole point of juries to develop opinions and reach conclusions after hearing all the evidence...
@EvansLabathe @JulieCourtTV When exactly did he supposedly go retrieve the lunch? I didn't hear it in his step-by-step inch-by-inch accounting of everything.
@LawyerYouKnow "Murder in the first degree
"There are two different degrees of murder: murder in the first degree and murder in the second degree. If you find the defendant guilty of murder, you shall decide the degree of murder. . . ." [see pic for the rest]
@LawyerYouKnow Just FYI, you should check out the MA pattern jury instructions for M1. If the jury can't come to a unanimous decision on M1, they are then supposed to consider M2. So a lesser is essentially baked into the instruction. https://t.co/uesdqzezcv
@HouseOfChatter@ClaytonsJustice It says that the judge signed it on 11/3, so, not too late. It was formally filed by the clerk on 11/4 (the hearing was 11/5).
.@LawyerYouKnow This needs to be your next emergency live: FL 2d DCA grants JHACH a new trial because trial court interpreted and applied Section 39 immunity too narrowly and it pervaded the entire trial.

@DupayNoel@LawyerYouKnow The original defendant(s) (ie, the bars &/or Karen Read) are the only ones able to remove a case to fed court under the fed removal statute. Even if 3d-party Defs are added, SCOTUS says they don't count for removal. (But I don't think they'll be able to add those parties anyway.)
@LawyerYouKnow So, while Karen Read might end up suing in D Mass or MSP et al might remove a future case brought by KR to federal court, I don’t believe that this *current* case can go there, even if they are successful adding the 3d-party claims (which I don’t think meet the MRCP 14 criteria).
@LawyerYouKnow You can’t remove a case to federal court if the original complaint couldn’t be filed in federal court, per s. 1441 (removal statute). And SCOTUS recently-ish said only original Ds can remove a case, not to include third-party Ds or counter-defendants.

@michelleL_13@LawyerYouKnow You didn't ask me, obvs, but as an atty (in MA), I think it's bonkers to to try to bring those claims as 3d-party claims in this case. They'd need to say that the 3d parties are *derivatively or secondarily liable*. Involving the same facts is literally not the standard at all.
