Thanks Diver Dave. I belive his name is Judge Ladine,does that sound right? I will go check back,to see if I can verify that it is the name. I really appreciate your posting this information this is the first I have heard that he would be called to testify.

How about the interview with Gloria Gomez (i think). After speaking about his missing wife and tearing up etc. The camara is still on him (he obviously is unaware of the fact) and he goes and checks himself out in his mirror in the living room. Creeeeeeeepy.

Creepy is right, and very telling!

For anyone that missed this.

Yes, the "402's" are about the cadaver dogs and global positioning devices. I don't have the CA Rules of Evidence handy (LOL! but I'm sure they're on the web); however, I can tell you that Federal Rule of Evidence 402 is: RELEVANT EVIDENCE GENERALLY ADMISSIBLE; IRRELEVANT EVIDENCE INADMISSIBLE. All relevant evidence is admissible, except as otherwise provided by the Constitution of the U.S., Act of Congress, by these rules, or by other rules prescribed by the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory authority. Evidence which is not relevant is not admissible."

I can't speak for every state, but the trend is and has been for the states to make their rules of evidence the same as, or similar to, the Federal Rules of Evidence. I am guessing that CA's Rule 402 is just like the above.

Notice the last sentence of the rule: that's what Geragos was saying: he was saying that those dogs' behavior was not relevant, b/c it doesn't prove anything when the dog goes in this direction, or whatever direction. (Nonsense! We know it does.) He was saying also that the global positioning devices' information wasn't relevant.

I hadn't heard that he'd decided to hold a Franks hearing, and that he'd have it on Oct. 29. At that hearing Geragos and McAllister are supposed to back up their assertions that the cops lied, or recklessly disregarded the truth, in their affidavits used to get the wiretaps. (I'm disappointed that the judge granted them their Franks hearing.)

Sandy, I'm not arguing that Amber's having her nudie pictures out there might interfere somewhat with her credibility.

All I'm saying is that if we don't have the specifics of whatever contract was allegedly made btw Amber and this photographer, we're like the 3 blind men feeling all over the elephant, trying to figure out what animal they were feeling. If/when we know the details of the contract, or know if a contract even existed, then we can draw better conclusions as to whether that pathetic porn peddler has to pay Amber money or not.

As to her credibility, if prosecutors couldn't or didn't use witnesses with bad pasts, they could hardly ever make prosecutions! So often crimes happen in bad areas, and the bad areas are filled with sleazeballs, sleazeballs who make Amber look like St. Therese, the Little Flower of Jesus. And so sleazeballs are the only witnesses, so the prosecutors use them as witnesses, and sometimes the sleazeballs are convincing, and are believed!

[Devil_Anse]

See, if something sleazy WAS going on btw Amber and Danny at the time of the shoot, that makes me less likely to believe that they had any contract at all! In which case, she may NOT have agreed to let him have the photos and sell them and do God-knows-what with them.

Suppose Amber and Danny had been having a brief affair at the time: boyfriend/girlfriend, and suppose that was why she let him photograph her posed like that. Would anyone here think that just b/c some broad was fool enough to let her boyfriend photograph her posing nude, that that gives him the right to sell her nudie pics and spread them all over the globe, making money and not giving her any of the money? (I'm not asking if she DESERVED to have that happen b/c she did something so foolish; I'm asking, would that give him a legal right?)

[Devil_Anse]

So has the judge ruled that there will be a Franks hearing? Okay, I'll admit it, I didn't bookmark the site with the official updates on rulings and motions. Could you post it again?

[Devil_Anse]

LOL!!!

(Is THAT what Boy George was saying in that song??!? Well, I'll be!!! I thought he was saying, "Come-a come-a come-a come-a come-a to me, Leonnnn!")

[Devil_Anse]

I think on those tapes we will see a man who will do anything for a piece of boody... much like a teenager.

Ain't THAT the truth!!

[Devil_Anse]

Well, TOUGH SH##, DANNY! You play, you pay! (LOL)

[Devil_Anse]

has performed with BB King

WOW!!!

[Devil_Anse]

Apparently Scott's (half?) brother John visited him in jail on Scott's birthday. That's probably who you saw.

I didn't see him. I take it he was somewhat inarticulate?

[Devil_Anse]

LOL!! Jackie-O: SCOW Official Bugler.

Say bye-bye, Scott!

[Devil_Anse]

Present! Only 10 hours late!

[Devil_Anse]

Jackie P.'s other sons probably came to their senses a long time ago, and don't want anything to do with her!

[Devil_Anse]

How old did this brother look? Scott's (half?) brother John is supposed to be about 6 years older than Scott.

I think Joe, much older, is the one who was married to Janey.

[Devil_Anse]

I bet they will use his media interviews! (Though not necessarily at the preliminary.)

[Devil_Anse]

Thanks!!

In the TRIAL?? They expect us to wait that long??! LOL!

[Devil_Anse]

Let's assume that the prosecution wins the case, using (among many others) Amber as a witness.

Her credibility is something for the jury to determine. Stuff like that is for the people (jurors) who were actually THERE--there at the trial. Appeals courts don't like to mess with jury determinations. This sort of issue on an appeal would come under: "The verdict was against the weight of the evidence." That's a hard one to win on appeal.

What? Lafroste is married to Amber Frey??!

Hey, lafroste, get over here, we've got some questions to ask you!!

[Terry Mross]

I hope you realize someone is going to ask you if you want to buy some nude photos of your wife. It's an old joke.
