I went through this completely last night.

The loophole is the DNA test was done in the US and the results remain in the US right now. They are out of the jurisdiction of the Bahamas. Greta also mentioned this last night.

It's just like the inquest in a way. They can request that the witnesses come to the Bahamas but they cannot enforce it because they have no jurisdiction over them since they are in the USA.

No judge in this country will honor the Bahamian court order because the test was done in the USA and the results are currently on the US, the Bahamian Courts do not have jurisdiction. (swabbing was done under the written consent of Stern because that is how DDC handles all DNA Paternity testing that will be used in a court of law) The results will be hand delivered by Baird sometime after the 3rd or 4th of April. Baird cannot make the 4/3 or 4/4 court date (which ever one it is). The results will not be learned (if Larry continues to obey the Bahamian courts) until Baird hand delivers them to the Bahamian courts.Larry will have to make a choice soon if he wants to follow the Bahamian Court or if he wants to have the results opened here in the USA. He has to play it day by day since things seem to change on a daily basis. It will be a tough choice for Larry to go against the Bahamian court because of the fear it may cause problems for him, so he has to be very careful and play his cards right.

Here the deal... Stern was directed to take the baby in for DNA swabbing - it is now known that if he did not do it he would have landed in jail or they would have taken the baby away from him at that time and had the test done (contempt of court). Stern had to sign off on it (written consent). Stern's main argument on the appeal is that swabbing is not the way the law require DNA test to be done. He says the law is by blood test only. Then some other crap about Larry no providing enough evidence that he is the father of the baby.

I have a bad storm blowing in with lightning I may have to shut down soon.
