This Just Frosts My Ass

It appears the lawyers in the bogus "rape" case where I am named as a defendant have decided to have a "private" mediation on August 5, 2011. If there was a way I could download that document filed with the court to here, I would do so.

Of course the "case" will end there. That was the whole point of that bottom feeding son of a bitch plaintiff's lawyer to file the suit. It was NEVER meant to go to trial but instead to shake down the insurance company for cash. If you or I did such a thing as commit extortion/insurance fraud, we would be in jail. There will be NO more discovery, no getting "experts" to talk about this matter, nothing. The mother and her son will get at least 100k for what amounted to a frivolous lawsuit, while the attorneys on both sides will get hundreds of thousands of dollars, courtesy of Washoe County School District's insurance company. There was no evidence the district's lawyers EVER sought to have the case dismissed; after all, why SHOULD they? They are getting money, too, for dragging it out and getting more compensation for their billable hours. Everybody is going to get rich except those people who had their names smeared and dragged through the mud, not only by the Sanchez attorneys Tom Beko and Rebecca Bruch of Erickson, Thorpe & Swainston, of Reno, but also by the Reno Gazette-Journal, the Sparks Tribune, and other local media. The case in turn was reported by Associated Press and published all over the country. Of course, a bogus case doesn't stay local anymore because of the internet. Literally anybody in the world can google it, so this is actually a "world" news story.

There is no regard for the truth. When the matter is settled, both sides will lie their asses off to the media. The national press will get wind of this, and my name and the counselor's will be further dragged through the mud. I have visions of Nancy Grace yammering about this shit, and Matt Drudge having this shit story on his website. Meanwhile, there is no way I can sue the plaintiffs once the matter is settled. It's over, done with. The reputation, meanwhile, is thrown in the trash can, as many people believe any kind of bullshit a plaintiff's lawyer alleges. The most I can do is file a complaint against the plaintiff's lawyer with the Nevada State Bar, and you KNOW how quick fellow attorneys are to sanction their own. They stick together, just like doctors and school district administrators.

It just pisses me off. You read this here first.

Update for the curious: This case was settled out of court in December 2011. It was settled without my knowledge or consent. I represented myself in the matter, but lawyers on both sides failed to notify me of the mediation hearing which had occurred on November 21, 2011. They were ethically bound to notify me as spelled out in the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct, and they failed to do it. Of course I was totally opposed to settling, since I could not countersue the plaintiff's and their attorney if it happened. The plaintiff's lawyer sent me a stipulation to dismiss to sign, but he did NOT inform me there was a settlement out of court. If I had known it, I doubt I'd have signed it. Not only that, but readers here and all over the world will never, ever know the details of the settlement. I do not believe the mother received much money at all, and the school board which approved the settlement is bound to the public to release the details as they are supposed to be accountable to the voters. However, they and the superintendent have kept the details secret. When I raised a stink via email, with the local media being sent copies, the district actually had Google go in and zap my email.

A lying parent and her lying lawyer got away with this, and the only reason they got away with it is because the district's insurance company refused to pay attorney's fees. It had nothing to do with the nonexistent "merit" of the case. Cynical lawyers KNOW this game, and that's why they make up shit like this one did in "my" case.
