The County was pursuing charges but they were dropped because a turnover In staff involved?
Interesting twist.
I'm going through FOIA documents from the Virginia Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services and found this gem.
Even on this blog I've been given a hard time. I've been told I don't have sufficient evidence, my evidence is weak, etc.
No charges by the county has NOTHING to do with insufficient evidence.
Charges were pursued because there was a clear violation of state animal welfare code.
This is why I won't stop fighting for the pigs.
I'm not delusional, I'm in the right.
Meredith is an unreasonable woman.
ReplyDeleteThe reasonable woman adapts herself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to herself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable woman.

BTW, you can become a judge without getting a law degree. County judges in certain low population areas are not required to have a law degree. Check your local laws.
Also Meredith, you can be a Justice of the US Supreme Court without a law degree.
According to the Supreme Court website, there are virtually no qualifications for Justices.
FAQ: "Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?"
http://www.supremecourt.gov/faq.aspx#faqgi2
"The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law. Many of the 18th and 19th century Justices studied law under a mentor because there were few law schools in the country."
"The last Justice to be appointed who did not attend any law school was James F. Byrnes (1941-1942). He did not graduate from high school and taught himself law, passing the bar at the age of 23."
"Robert H. Jackson (1941-1954). While Jackson did not attend an undergraduate college, he did study law at Albany Law School in New York. At the time of his graduation, Jackson was only twenty years old and one of the requirements for a law degree was that students must be twenty-one years old. Thus rather than a law degree, Jackson was awarded with a "diploma of graduation." Twenty-nine years later, Albany Law School belatedly presented Jackson with a law degree noting his original graduating class of 1912."

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson was the chief prosecutor at Nuremberg. Justice Jackson’s opening statement as chief prosecutor instituted the Nuremberg principals.
"The [Nuremberg] charter recognizes that one who has committed a criminal act may not take refuge in superior orders nor in the doctrine that his crimes were acts of state."

This is total bullshit!
ReplyDeleteBut that is our so-called legal system Meredith.
Next question, do you have legal standing?
Standing, Cornell LII
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/standing
"Standing, or locus standi, is capacity of a party to bring suit in court. State laws define standing. At the heart of these statutes is the requirement that plaintiffs have sustained or will sustain direct injury or harm and that this harm is redressable."
Harm to pigs is not harm to you. Standing may bar an appeal.
You may try a writ of mandamus to force the "inferior government official" to do his/her fucking job.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/mandamus
A (writ of) mandamus is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion. (See, e.g. Cheney v. United States Dist. Court For D.C. (03-475) 542 U.S. 367 (2004) 334 F.3d 1096.)
Meredith, you may ultimately win. But it may take many years, your money, and your sanity.
I made a criminal complaint and only have to prove violation of state code. I'm not suing her so I don't prove damages.
DeleteThere is a statute of limitations on criminal animal cruelty of one year. This is my last chance.
