Get it? Because Parsons owned wolves. That's why it's funny.

The S of L is the time the govt has to commence a prosecution. I don't know any details of Parsons' state case, but if there was a hung jury, than the govt obviously already commenced a prosecution. State speedy trial statutes (note: different from S of L) may or may not apply to retrials, depending on TN law.tmtoulouse wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:48 amParsons is claiming that someone told him they are revisiting the hung charges on his kidnapping case.

Since the only person involved with any (limited) legal knowledge is Bryfogle I don't expect this to go very far.Written directions received from the Court: The Honourable Mr. Justice Lafrenière dated 05-MAR-2019 directing that "Pursuant to Rule 74 of the Federal Courts Rules, the Plaintiffs are directed to submit written representations, no later than March 18, 2019 and not exceeding 10 pages in length, to show cause why the Statement of Claim filed on March 4, 2019 should not be removed from the Court file on the grounds that the document was not filed in accordance with the Rules. In particular, Rule 121 provides that, unless the Court in special circumstances orders otherwise, a party who acts or seeks to act in a representative capacity, including in a representative proceeding, shall be represented by a solicitor. Ms. Fanny Stump, who signed the Statement of Claim purportedly on behalf of the Plaintiffs, acknowledged upon inquiry on behalf of the Court that she was not a solicitor within the meaning of subsection 11(3) of the Federal Courts Act. No further steps shall be taken in this proceeding pending determination of the validity of the originatin pleading." placed on file on 05-MAR-2019 Confirmed in writing to the party(ies)
I think they'll actually have to find a real lawyer who won't file nonsense, and likelihood of that slim to not ever gonna happen.eric wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 10:26 pm And a rather speedy slap-down as well. Statement of Claim and Proof of Service filed on Monday, beat down on Tuesday.

The assorted defendants didn't even have time to obtain legal representation, not as if they will have to the way this is likely to turn out.

Apparently TN law aligns with most of the US. As wserra says, the statute of limitations is tied to the initial commencement of prosecution - from there, the right to a speedy trial kicks in. There's technically no restriction on how long the government can wait before retrying Parsons. But there's certainly a practical limit. The longer they wait, the weaker their case is likely to become due to witnesses forgetting details, etc. But they absolutely can re-prosecute.wserra wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:08 pmThe S of L is the time the govt has to commence a prosecution.

To me this sounds more attractive than simply sitting in jail.the rest of his life sitting in jail in his own reality believing this self-imposed illusion of righteousness
100% agreed. I'm sure in the TN encounter that Parsons was incredibly close to shooting the victims. If he thought he could get away with it, they'd probably both be dead.notorial dissent wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 9:26 pm Actually, I think a jail cell is a good place for him. He is really really stupid, and has a real penchant for violence, which fortunately hasn't resulted in a bad ending, yet.
Eh-yeah, I kinda sorta get the impression that neither he, nor his wife, would win the neighbor of the year award, or even come close, back there in their home county.alexhammer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 4:56 pm100% agreed.
