Stevens said the letter was meant as a private communication with friends.

Hey Edith, at least one of your "friends" thinks that you and Richard are a couple of low life p****s.

The letter covers five points about the case:

The Kirlins never intended to build a dream home there, as they've told reporters, McLean and Stevens wrote.

The land in question is only 11 percent of the Kirlins' combined lots, but is typically referred to as one-third of their property. "The Kirlins still have the full right and ability to build their 'dream home' on the remaining property as they had always intended," the letter continues.

It must be really nice to be a mind-reader but shouldn't one be able to keep the story consistent from one paragraph to the next?

[They (McLean and Stevens)said they hadn’t made a public case because they decided to just let the publicity “go away.”]

Had they made a “public case” out of it a mob with pitchforks and torches would have descended on them. They used their political connections and legal knowledge to steal from their neighbors. One way or another, these shysters will be punished for their crime.

Thanks for your updates on this issue, George.

That would be a good idea. These two are not only thieves; they are narcissists of the fascist kind.

Getting land by adverse possession has been around forever. It seems odd, but there are valid reasons why land can be given to another party, for example, if the land is off the tax rolls. There are usually pretty strict requirements that have to be met. Were they met in this case?

Exactly right George and thanks for the ping.

They need to admit to being pond scum, pay the Kirlin’s their lawyer fees, and go crawl in a hole. That would work for me. Who in the heck are their supporters anyway? She must have spent a whole 82 cents on postage.

From “The Law Defends Plunder”....

...Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder, and it is of this, no doubt, that Mr. de Montalembert speaks.

This legal plunder may be only an isolated stain among the legislative measures of the people. If so, it is best to wipe it out with a minimum of speeches and denunciations — and in spite of the uproar of the vested interests.

adverse-possession case against Don and Susie Kirlin, spelled out
their side of the story in the four-page letter...

"We still hope that we can reconcile our differences with the Kirlins and restore peace in our neighborhood and community," McLean and Stevens wrote.

Easy enough: pay for the property (at whatever your neighbors' value it), AND pay for all expenses your neighbors incurred defending it.

And no, I won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen...

IIRC, the land thieves went back to court later and told the judge to give them more land, because the judge incorrectly calculated how much to award them in the first ruling. The judge refused to assist in any additional land grab.

I was just wondering-wondering mind you......what would happen if say some type of toxic material was found on the “newly acquired” piece of land? It could be maybe a big honking heap of CFLB(compact florescent light bulbs)or cadmium(from rechargeable batteries)the mind does boggle.

Of course the previous owners had no knowledge of any thing wrong with the land when THEY BOUGHT IT! Sooo, who would have to pay to clean it up? In accordance with Bolder-dashes tough but fair commie environmental standards?
I’m just thinking out loud.
