Prosecutors and judges can be intimidated.

Lisa McPherson was deliberately starved to death as punishment for imaginary infractions.

The local medical examiner initially ruled the cause of death undetermined (which would legally require a more thorough inquiry), but then changed her ruling and 'corrected" it to accidental.

Everyone in their work camps has signed multiple documents volunteering for duty, and the finest lawyers in California will make sure that any warrants are contested long enough to clean things up before law enforcement gets inside the premises.

These guys have 50 years of collective experience and expertise in gaming the justice system. Few DAs have the mental or financial resources to match wits with them.

They have achieved perfect mental and emotional clarity, the likes of which we outsiders cannot even begin to understand.

That's why Tom Cruise has three failed marriages, and Mrs. Miscavige disappeared 10 years ago.

Didn’t Tom Cruise’s first wife get into it? Mimi Rogers’ father Phil Spickler, was a buddy of L Ron Hubbard and in on it early on...he raised his daughter that way.

She did, but it is unclear if Rogers' job was just to recruit the breakout star of Top Gun (a film deeply appealing to adherents of Hubbard mythology) to the group.

The marriage lasted maybe two years. And there are theories about that as well.

In my original post where I was talking about the "wheels coming off of the clown-car" I was saying that this was such a complete exposure that it would take all semblance of appearance of honesty away that it would suddenly collapse from its own weight of problems.

I see that exposure to prompt judges to give it less benefit of the doubt, members to abandon it, people reluctant to hold their mortgage and to do business with them.

Previously they had the benefit of doubt or assumption of innocence, growing contributors or membership and climbing resources and cannon fodder. I think all that falls away.
