It is enlightening and has added to my confusion. There has been discussion here about the reason why JS wants this document so badly. Some speculate that it painted JFD poorly, so in some round about irrational way JS will try to argue MTs alleged actions were justified or he’ll toss it into the Gone Girl salad. Others speculate that MT was painted so spectacularly that she alone looked like the only positive beacon in the children’s lives. IMO both these guesses realistically ( even to JS I imagine) do not present any reasonable justification for any degree of involvement from MT. I was thinking JS was searching for the prosecutorial misconduct hook to add to his Pandora’s box of possible appeals.Thanks much, Tink. Enlightening.
Now that I’ve read the actual motion (thanks @sds71), I’m thinking JS may have another little treasure chest of tricks waiting. Clearly, he did not like receiving only the 2 pages of notes pertaining to MT. If he just wanted to see what Herman said-ok -there it is-so what? Really, if we think about it , what does the custodial agreement have anything to do with JFD murder? In fact, I’m really confused as to why MT was interviewed at all? I’d sure like to see the original order for the evaluations. Did it include a court order demanding evaluation of everyone who cared for the children ? Did FDs lawyer request the eval in a motion requesting a change in the existing order? Sorry, I digress. I could go on and on trying to chase the rabbit hole here on appropriate, legal, etc......whatever the reason, she apparently did have an interview with Herman. And he opined on it. And MT and JS wanted to see what it said. And they have ( and as others noted, they probably had it all along). But now JS doesn’t like 2 excerpted pages..
What’s his new little trick? He wants the context. He wants them admissible. Could these pages offer a little “defense” if poor little MT can’t find any other way around her alleged behavior? Herman might have also opined on the poor psychological state of MT as well as JFD. Almost one year ago, we possibly heard the only “excuse” words out of MTs mouth; she said she shouldn’t have “trusted” FD. Since then it’s been a constant barrage of “poor innocent loving daughter/sister, not raised this way, she would never hurt anyone” love fest for MT. Poor naive innocent MT who normally would never behave like she is being accused - unless perhaps she was under the spell of Mr Untrustworthy.
I hate to say these words, but Is MT despicably enough to try and use FDs now established coercive control to her own benefit?
Personally, I would not be surprised at all. Moo moo moo
