Lawfare at its finest
I suspect the Plaintiff will have a difficult time establishing a conspiracy between Rittenhouse and the police. In order to show a conspiracy, the Plaintiff must establish that the defendants agreed to achieve a particular result, here to injure or kill Huber, and that once the agreement was made Rittenhouse performed an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. The motion denied by the Court, based upon what has been reported, did not address the question of the existence of a conspiracy. Rather, it simply said that Rittenhouse had been properly served, notified, of the lawsuit. I suspect that upon the completion of all pre-trial discovery, which can be extensive in a civil case, Rittenhouse will move to dismiss the claim for failure to state a cause of action for which relief can be granted. If that motion is denied, then the case will proceed to trial at which the Plaintiff will have the burden of establishing the conspiracy.
When did these never-ending, money-based, lawfare “civil” suits become the norm in the USA?
America’s justice system is becoming a clogged toilet. when and how did it start?
