“I recall that you are a recently retired metro DC-area defense lawyer...”
Sorry, wrong. I was never a defense lawyer. I represented Republican and Conservative organizations and issues proactively for years.
In another matter we represented a client civilly who had been falsely accused until the judge threw the whole thing out because the tapes, which the State tried to hide, clearly showed the “counselors” teaching the kids to lie on the stand, telling them their mothers and fathers won’t love them if they didn’t tell the made-up stories on the stand, that they would die if they said something different from what other kids were saying. Another tape showed them bringing a little boy’s favorite teddy bear to a counseling session, ripping the head, arms and legs off the bear, and telling the kid his kindergarten teacher had done it ... etc.
Big dollar settlement
In another case, the State had a wonderfully documented case against a man, complete with his attendance at events that only happened once, etc. The problem was, they were off by a year, as he was overseas in the Navy at the time it all allegedly happened.
Bigger dollar settlement.
Also, we didn’t do divorce work, but when this BS all started, friends from the Matrimonial Bar said at lease 85% of the women wanting divorces were prepared to swear the hubby was a child abuser in order to try to force a bigger settlement.
Yes, it’s that sick out there.
What is disturbing is that you come onto just about every thread regarding pizzagate and say it’s bogus.
How can you claim to be so sure nothing is going on?
I don’t think you can.

McMartin and Franklin are not about divorce cases.
