Does Hovind being batshit crazy count as a disability requiring accommodation?ORDER RESCHEDULING TRIAL FOR NOVEMBER 3, 2014 wrote:
...
If you or any party, witness or attorney in this matter has a disability that requires special accommodation, such as a hearing impairment that requires a sign-language interpreter or a wheelchair restriction that requires ramp access, please contact the Clerk’s office at least one week prior to the hearing (or as soon as possible) so arrangements can be made.

Given the additional time to develop the case, it would be interesting if either the Government on Hovind's public defender requests a mental evaluation.AndyK wrote:

While that is one scenario that might reasonably be expected, if it plays out that way it will also be an indication that Kent and Jo aren't really all that keen on getting back together.notorial dissent wrote:
I'm more curious as to how long the honeymoon will last between Kent and his latest victim PD. If he runs true to form, he'll let the PD do all sorts of work between now and the trial, and then sometime shortly beforehand he'll start to go all sovict whacko again demanding that the PD do a bunch of things he can't legally do, and totally mess things up and dismiss him. He has two whole months get all his plans organized now and to torment the PD.
Ignoring Hansen's idiocy, there may be a legal question here.Paths of the Sea wrote:Does this have something to do with Kent Hovind!
Does it have something to do with that error that was noted in one of the documents filed in the Hovind case (i.e., the reference to a grand jury proceeding)?
Paul John Hansen subpoena for Pensacola federal grand jury!
Yes, we're sure. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(e)(1) says that a subpoena "may be served at any place within the United States." (It's the Rules of Civil Procedure that limit the geographic scope of subpoenas.)Are we sure that a FL Federal Grand Jury can subpoena people from out of state?
In a federal criminal case, a subpoena duces tecum typically says "you are commanded to appear and testify and to bring with you..." That's to insure that the witness not only turns over the documents but is also available to give whatever testimony is necessary to authenticate them.Also, a "Subpoena Duces Tecum" usually doesn't require a personal appearance.
Paul John Hansen provided a link to the subpoena he received and it does begin with:Dr. Caligari wrote:

That is a down which I would prefer not to gallope if at all possible, for a variety of reasons.Paths of the Sea wrote:While that is one scenario that might reasonably be expected, if it plays out that way it will also be an indication that Kent and Jo aren't really all that keen on getting back together.
If Kent and Jo are serious about getting back together sooner rather than later, Kent will bring forth works meet for repentance and work with his public defender to minimize the damage done as a result of his contemptuous antics.

There is an interesting account of some of Hansen's antics in the following Quatloos thread:notorial dissent wrote:
Who is Paul John Hansen ?
Paul John of the family Hansen has been handling some of Kent's money (i.e., his legal defense fund) and is thought to be one of Kent Hovind's "legal dream team" members.notorial dissent wrote:

want him in FL. As they say curiouser and curiouser.
I got the impression that Hansen is accused of filing documents in Hovind's name and on his behalf. At one stage Kent declared that he couldn't have filed the liens because he wasn't able to get to the post. If Hansen denies he was involved then who did it?Hansen made reference to a possible accusation regarding filing documents using an alias. It could have reference to him producing and filing documents for Kent Hovind.
In all likelihood, the Government will make a motion to hold him in contempt; the judge will issue a bench warrant, and Hansen will be arrested and brought to Florida; and the judge will give him the choice of complying with the subpoena or sitting in jail.If Hansen didn't show up for the grand jury, what is likely to happen and when?
