Hi everyone thanks for the kind messages and being so patient. So much to unpack. I’d first like to thank @MJJRepository and @andjustice4some both these incredible advocates provide us with information without them I wouldn’t know where to go to hear the cases.
As you guys know Thursday was about the pending motions to be talked about I have to say that this was the best hearing I’ve attended. If it was a film it would have you on an emotional roller coaster Intrigue, law drama, comedic moments, sadness, suffering, empathy and justice.
Most of all your heart breaks for the kind human being who is being accused of the most heinous crime known to man and he is not here to defend himself, who in his lifetime was vindicated and cleared.
Words that came up a lot meet and confer, deposition and objections to compound questions and matters of privacy for non party witnesses who want nothing to do with plaintiffs Wade and James.
I learned that when Lawyers end depositions where the witness is hostile there is a procedure and if not followed the law determines it is concluded or another one can be rescheduled. I will break this down in three threads just cause there is so much.
First to be talked about was the Complaint Finaldi had about the deposition of Leroy Whaley and his attorney Mc Isaac. The court had presented tentatives that all parties read before. Finaldi starts talking about the meet and confer that attorneys usually do with depositions.
Finaldi spoke first giving his side and then Mc Isaac will defend her side and Jonathon Steinsapir will also speak Finaldi now speaks and complains about how the meet and confer didn’t go well and that she took long time to-get back to him.
He claims she failed to meet in good faith and that failure to meet and confer in good faith is an abuse of the discovery process. So the court should impose sanctions on her. If you haven’t read Whaley’s deposition I highly recommend it.
Finaldi talks about rules of deposition and that parties are protected from from annoyance and embarrassment and if oppression occurs it’s oppressive to his clients and himself. Judge tell him he’s lumping McIsaac and witness together and needs to distinguish that it’s separate.
He says he took a deposition on Saturday to accommodate Leroy paying for a hotel room and conference room. Says he’s taking many depositions but that behavior is in excusable and the judge agrees. With Finaldi here. Finaldi talking now he says Leroy called him a douche bag and
Mc Isaac said try not to swear. Mr Whaley continued and called me an ambulance chaser.He said can we continue on the record and say he’s a douchebag.
Judge says will he may have thought you left the room. ( That made me laugh}. Finaldi said it was in front of me he said that and I find McIsaac served to encorage his behavior and I have examples. Finaldi gives examples and the judge tell him don’t take things out of context.
I would say that if Mr. Whaley called you a douxhebag earlier and not after the hearing was terminated then and If Mc Isaac hadn’t said anything then yes that’s cause to be reprimanded.
So he thought you left the room and he wasn’t sure you were there. {Again I laughed here too} Finaldi She was smiling this is abusive behavior and she was encouraging him. He read an La civility law about depositions. Judge says I’m gonna assume u two have history together and
may have bled over to this one. After reading the whole transcript I find her transgressions minor. Your speaking objections aren’t proportional and your taking it out of context. The judge repeated this point a few times throughout the exchange and you to have lived together
and been on numerous cases Finaldi tells the judge we didn’t live together. Judge let’s out a laugh and says I didn’t mean that literally. His face had an expression where it was like don’t you understand sarcasm. Finaldi said that McIsaac behavior was harassing to to him and
and his http://clients.as  he complains more to the Judge who keot saying don’t take it out of context when he called you a douchebag he thought you left the room. Finaldi says she was enflaming him, affecting his Whaley’s, testimony trying to get a rise out of me. Again
Again judge says your reaction is not in proportion to it Finaldi says I need to talk to him about the nude photo it’s a salient piece of evidence. She kept objecting and Whaley said the police lied to him Finaldi said I tried to deescalate the situation and judge says doesn’t
doesn’t sound like you were deescalating. Judge then agrees with Mc Isaac about her objections to some of his questions did you speak to him on the phone, were you in a car with Micheal Jackson again back and forth.He continues she was coaching him, she cut me off, she was giving
him clues. Judge then says cutting you off is not Indicative of anything, how was she coaching him and what clues did she give him? Finaldi says well if it alters his testimony I have a right to speak to him.
Finaldi wanted to give more examples taking long pauses to find his examples. judge we don’t need to read that. Finaldi said I gave her a warning to sanction her. Judge reads the law to him and tells Finaldi he didn’t follow the proper procedure and Finaldi says I don’t think I
had to do that that that his moving to Sanction that his moving to Sanction would be sufficient. Judge tells Finaldi that he finds lack of civility and gender bias with his behavior. He told him you belittled her experience and her appearance and I would not be doing my job if
I don’t warn you if I see this kind of behavior. Finaldi says he takes offense to this cause he works with many women and takes on many women’s abuse cases. Judge said I’m not accusing you but there are signs of behavior and the way you treated opposing council is wrong.
McIsaac now speaks I wasn’t smiling I apologize if i overstepped but I did try and calm things down. I can protect myself against Finaldi I’ve done this for 20 years but my client cnt. He has never been deposed and I’m protecting http://him.so  yes I will object to his
questions that are designed to get a witness who doesn’t know better to make statements that weren’t established. He and his mother are accused of procuring children for MJ and her little boy. She mentions Manly Finaldi partner at Blanca Francia deposition. Part 2 in next thread.
She mentions Manly Finaldi partner at Blanca Francia deposition. He called her red in the face and that she only said that to him cause he began to belittle her too. I didn’t want to go off the record because he works and has 4 kids but Finaldi clearly wanted to leave.
Jonathon Steinsapir: talks about the meet and confer and explains their side. It’s one thing to want to terminate a deposition but attacks on opposing counsel are another. In the excerpt he accuses our Law firm to the tune of serial child rapists. You don’t get anything done.
if you accuse people like that. At the Francia deposition yes I called him sexist and I stand by that 100 percent. It’s one thing to accuse MJ of this he is deceased and can’t defend himself he was a public figure and dealt with this in life but for plaintiffs Wade and James
nd Finaldi to accuse Jodi Levine of being a child procurer and accused her publicly by name of being the worst human with intent to turn them over to Mj and her own son explains why they are angry and explains Whaley’s deposition but it doesn’t excuse it. She has lupus
they don’t have money they aren’t white collar. If your comfortable accusing a woman of the worst crime then I find it rich that you dish it out but can’t take it .
Finaldi I didn’t say their firm were child rapists judge says will you essentially did say that and we don’t need
to go point by point. Jonathon Steinsapir: We want to litigate this case on merit and we want the request to be awarded our cost in legal fees. Finaldi took a jab at Weitzman and also claimed Jodi Levine called Mj a chicken hawk which she denies.
it has been a complete misrepresentation of the facts talking about Finaldi.
Judge: Court rules that deposition of Whaley’ is complete. Opposing counsel failed to follow procedure for a protective order and court doesn’t find McIsaacs conduct is warranted for a suspension.
Motion for protective order denied and sanctions will be imposed on plaintiff counsel. Next thread Jonathon Spence and Marion Fox to come stay tuned.
