The sharing of legal documents before they were filed, however, if true, shows that the relationship between SNAP and their lawyer friends may have gotten pretty incestuous.<br /><br />I have no inside knowledge but my guess is that at the folks at SNAP aren't laughing this lawsuit off as easily as you are. Because if you read the case filed, which I posted a link to in the story, it explains that SNAP's computer files may be in the hands of the plaintiff's lawyers. No laughing matter.bigtrial.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188557653424544411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-67998724118415382952017-01-23T18:51:28.758-05:002017-01-23T18:51:28.758-05:00Wait, are we talking about referral fees here? In ...Wait, are we talking about referral fees here? In what way are they kickbacks? <br /><br />The two leaders of SNAP must be raking in a fortune from this huge national scheme. Oh,wait, I read elsewhere that they make just $86,000 each. Terrible schemers, I guess.<br /><br />So she was robbed of her joy of being a non-profit fundraiser because,I guess,she really wanted to be a counselor and SNAP wanted her to do the job she was hired for and which she was deeply excited to do.<br /><br />I guess her grievance is that SNAP doesn't advocate for survivors the way she thinks they should. Never mind the fact that court cases are the only thing that has reigned in the Catholic Church's pedophilia in every diocese in the nation. Counseling is great. Putting people in jail and forcing huge settlements is even better for survivors who get to feel that they helped put a stop to the madness that they're in counseling for.<br /><br />In the lawsuit I guess she's mad that SNAP spent $35,000 on legal fees. Maybe she didn't notice that they had no choice but to respond to a judge's orders. But,hey, great way to demonstrate her point by forcing them to spend a whole lot more with her lawsuit. I assume she's seeking damages only for herself (and her lost interest in her fundraising career).<br /><br />C'mon, I'm not even a lawyer and I could get this case knocked out of court with the first Motion to Dismiss.SarahTX2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13127925134697324637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-77872991186425030032017-01-23T09:45:54.913-05:002017-01-23T09:45:54.913-05:00so that no one forgets, danny gallagher testified ...so that no one forgets, danny gallagher testified in the Engelhardt and Shero trial that the DA's office recommended the Law Office of Slade McLaughlin to handle his civil case...Sorensen was the main DA behind the grand jury fabrication which ultimately led to these wrongful convictions...and as mentioned several times, was and probably still is, a staunch SNAP advocate ...wonder how much money she was paid by SNAP or directly by Slade Mclaughlin for her referrals of false abuse cases such as Danny Gallaghers....<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-39899489648870295582017-01-21T12:51:22.404-05:002017-01-21T12:51:22.404-05:00Maybe the Archdioceses will lead the charge agains...Maybe the Archdioceses will lead the charge against prosecutors giving misleading information to the media for publication.

It should be clear to the media that taking the prosecutions side of a case is not only damaging to a defendant and their case but to the public and their perception of a situation. <br /><br />Frightening the public into believing matters are beyond control and must be dealt with in a harsh manner is terribly misleading.<br />Traffic Court was one such case, ethical violations at most that could have been handled by a board already in place, but whipping the public into a frenzy of hatred and disgust for politicians was an unconscionable act by the prosecution. Attempting to sending people to jail for the rest of their lives was not warranted. What the public should be concerned about is the abuse of power by prosecutors and the power they have over every one of us. One derogatory article and persons life is ruined. <br /><br />At this point the Inky will never be able to undo the damage they have done to defendants as they are tied to the prosecution in an alliance. Moving forward the media needs to refrain from doing any more damage to defendants, what potential juror does not believe what a major newspaper is printing from its own government. <br /><br />We need the media now more than ever to sift through fake news to protect the public, one sided articles from the prosecution should be eliminated from publication completely. If the prosecution has such a strong case they do not need the help of the media, the government has such a stranglehold over jurors already. <br />Knowingly helping to mislead the public by forming public opinion against a defendant should be considered a crime, we know prosecutors do it, realizing the media is part of scheme is shocking.<br />I can only wonder if our current state of distrust of politicians has been fanned by the flames of the media in their quest to sit on the right side of prosecutors. I cant imagine a reporter asking if the facts given them by prosecutors are accurate or ever back tracking and correcting themselves when the truth comes to light, instead of the continual bashing a defendant receives at the hands of corrupted reporters. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-87070982290073962532017-01-21T12:02:58.009-05:002017-01-21T12:02:58.009-05:00SNAP is a bunch of media-manipulating and grubbing...SNAP is a bunch of media-manipulating and grubbing trolls.
