The amount of times John Prior asks himself a question and answers it drives me crazy. “Do I want to get paid? I absolutely do. Do I think this is fair? No I don’t think this is fair.” Do I want you to stop talking? Yes. Do you just keep talking? Yes, yes you do.
That seems to be a common recurrent theme in all of these trials--from local/county to federal ones! It definitely requires more time and money--which ultimately the taxpayers pay!
The defendants seem to hope that the public’s attention will fade if they can drag out their trial dates. We see this taken to an extreme by Trump in his federal criminal cases.
If you didn’t see it at the end, as soon as the judge & Chad Darnell left the courtroom, Mr. Pryor went over to the prosecutors, turned off the mic, and proceeded to speak to them. My guess is a plea deal is in the works.
He opened himself up to this verdict as he said it wasn’t about the money and he wanted to continue! CD wanted him to stay on the case as well! Totally opposite to what his motion said!
Yup. Someone on their side needs to be definitive about wanting this to change and why. Not a vague complaint about trial being challenging and wishing John was getting paid. But if Chad refuses to say that he wants the change because he doesn’t think Prior can do it properly and Prior refuses to say that he wants off the case because he can’t do it properly then they are rightly stuck with each other. Essentially what it comes down to is that Prior is saying it’ll be very hard and he wishes Chad had money to pay him. And Chad feeling slightly bad about not having more money to pay him. But I’m not really that upset about the whole thing to be honest. He got what seems to be all of Chads assets in the very beginning so he didn’t make nothing on this case…he just isn’t getting an hourly rate. He got the value of a house all of Chads liquid assets.
Ugh… I think he wavered back and forth a number of times. I really believe this is a strategic plan by JP to get the DP off the table for CD. Ewww, he gives me the creeps…
I think that Prior thought once Lori was convicted, that there was going to be a plea deal made & never thought it was going to actually go to trial. I wonder if a deal was offered & Chad said no.🤔
Some attorneys watching the hearing believe Prior approached the prosecutors after the hearing regarding a plea deal that would take the DP off the table.
I believe a deal was on the table involving the same sentence Lori got, but CD refused because he is convinced he is less guilty. The State would want to avoid such an expensive, time and energy-consuming trial.
Prior: “I don’t care about money. I feel I should be paid. I want to be paid. Do I think it’s fair to get paid. I absolutely want to get paid for the work that I do. I chose not to get qualified for a capital case although I qualify. If the court denies my motion, I won’t harbor hard feelings, I’ll stay on.” What a circus of an appeal by Mr. Prior. Can’t imagine being the judge having to listen to this nonsense!
My theory. It wasn't as much a delay tactic as... Remember when Prior and Daybell met privately with the judge? How much do you want to bet Prior said, "Well, if the DP were taken off the table, I could continue." And the judge said, "Hells to the no" (or something to that effect.
I'm just going to post this comment here, because this breakdown and this case it's captivating and the chat was mostly discussing the Motion but we also greeted each other and chatted as chatters do.

Agreed with all of you. But we need to ask Peter and John can maybe help us out, how many signatures ( likes/comments) do we need to have him address this motion as a ''judge Pro Tem'' or temporary judge which in some states can be an attorney. Also by the rule of majority, the CYK declares Peter Tragos as qualified judge protempt, therefore John can be the representative and forward this Motion to Peter. Otherwise we would have to resort to going in person to the Tragos law firm and get Papa George involved. I'm sure there is a place for all 305.000K subs. If more of the people who are watching and not subscribing would do that solid, he wouldn't just dismiss us. He has refillable water container. So we're good.
Question!! I have a question on the Michelle Trikonis trial… why does it seem as though the judge is answering some of the questions for the witnesses… and helping the prosecution by restating all their questions when the defense objects… and then overruling them??
Honestly; since the worry for the lawyer seems to be his costs, such as filing, review by expert witnesses, lab testing, and such, are beyond what he could do without making cost back, the judge should just rule that fee's for necessary and justified services and materials related to the case, will be waived by the courts, having all brought in be paid for over a long term, court ordered pay schedule, reasonable to earnings. If that was ruled, so long as the lawyer keeps receipts, it solves the issue. : /
That cannot be done in this case. He is not DP qualified and is a private attorney. He has not been appointed by the State to defend Chad. Daybell chose him and hired him privately but has run out of money a long time ago.
Chad is such a POS…..the LEAST he could have done for his FIVE children after murdering their mother, is letting them have their family home ….but NOPE. He signed it over to Jon Prior to try to save himself, when he has to know it’s futile. Private attorney or court appointed
I think he was hoping the judge would take the death penalty off the table to keep him on and then he could get any lawyer to be his second chair. But if he wanted that then he should have swallowed his ego and said that he couldn’t be effective at trial himself. That would have really forced Judge Boyce hand.
It was always odd to me that he is Not a Death Penalty Qualified Attorney, but that he and Chad wanted him to be his Attorney. Pryor has gotten the deed to Chad’s property, and has received other monies. Pryor should have to stay on, trial begins in short time. Unbelievable that he has not gotten a second chair in this case, already. Pryor has postponed this case with many motions, he knows how the trial went with Lori, he has his strategy. Let’s go!!
I admire Prosecutor Lindsay Blake, she is always spot-on, quick, focused with the matters at hand. No nonsense style, and easy to follow. She rocks! No more trial delays, see you in April!!
I think it came out in the behind-closed doors session that he filed this in order to remove the death penalty, and the judge was not having it. He gave Prior a chance to save face in open court.
this was a delay tactic and he was probably hoping the state would offer a plea bargain just to keep from a delay of getting a new attorney. he has tried so hard to get the death penalty off the table.
Peter, at 18:35 you talk about being death penalty certified. We learned during the Casey Anthony trial that in Florida, you had to be second chair in a death penalty trial for x number of times to get qualified. Dont know what it is for this state, but a consideration that Prior could NOT do, or did not sit as such in the interim years while representing Chad. My guess, he reached out to another lawyer who had sat second chair in the past and COULD be qualified if they took other steps?
After seeing many of the trials covered by you I am alarmed to see that judges and prosecutors have a say in the defendant's defence and/or representative
@@kimberlynance2711He doesn’t need to disclose trial strategy. He could have sought an expert opinion and the expert could have advised that they were likely find anything different after reviewing the evidence but that could taken time to make that determinations.
Eh, I think that would be pretty inappropriate of the Judge to make Prior prove he called - he is a professional and the judge isn’t his boss. I’m sure the judge has better things to do with his time too then reviewing documentation proving Prior has done what he said, and the only person Prior would hurt by lying his himself. Prior comes across as whiney, entitled, and arrogant but I don’t think he is dumb.
Replay crew here! Trying to stay up to date with everything you’re covering at the moment Peter! Thanking you for it ALL! Would be fab to join a members’ live in L.A. next week!🙏😊
Nobody knows better than Prior how much money CD had and how quickly it would run out to pay his lawyer. IMO, Prior took a chance when he asked for a continuance last year that the case could be settled before he was in this position of working for free and he lost.
I seem to recall that Prior got Daybell's house, which we could speculate has been sold. To get this far he has taken all of Daybell's money. The money's gone and Prior is packing his suitcase. Hmmm.
In VA you can have a private practice and still be on the court-appointed attorneys list, they get paid for that but less than private practice, can't Prior apply for that?
The state prosecutor said something that as law enforcement really misses me off, she said "he essentially waived his right" that doesn't fly at all, either he waived his right or he didn't there is no "essentially". He didn't waive his right, then he has the right still, denying him the right opens the case to appeal.
I mean…that kind of thing happens in court all the time. A represented court room defendant needs to exercise his rights or they are waived all the time during court. The assumption is that his lawyer is aware of his rights and is the one that is ensuring they are being upheld. He absolutely knew that when he chose to keep Prior on probono instead of getting public defenders because it seems it was discussed in an ex party hearing with the judge. Effective waivers happen all the time in courts. Every time the attorney doesn’t object to something it is an effective waiver to appeal. Law enforcement operates in more black and white because the defendants aren’t assumed to know all their rights. In court, with an attorney, they are assumed to know their rights.
@sallycinnamon5370 there's a key difference, and lawyers use the proper legal terms so they don't get themselves caught up later. She didn't say he "effectively waived his right" which there are legal standards for when a right has been effectively waived. She said he "essentially" waived his rights. There isn't a legal standard for that, and if I told the state or federal prosecutor on the case for one of my arrests that the suspect "essentially" waived their rights, I'd be under investigation for violating his constitutional rights. She didn't say he effectively waived his rights because she knows that it wouldn't hold up in court and she doesn't want to purger herself on the record, she said essentially because it's a close enough term that might slide by the judge (and did since nobody mentioned it in the hearing) and that wouldn't get her in hot water with an ethics board because she didn't actually claim he waived his rights, she only claims that in her mind he waived his rights.
@@Tinmann_77 LOL. You are overreaching. She is not saying he waived his rights because that it’s not her determination to make and she can’t state that as fact until the judge has made that determination. They were in court today to decide if he had waived his rights. But the long and short of this hearing is that Chad did waive his rights to public defenders a year ago and he has not given an adequate reason to reverse that waiver. The procedure by police are not the same standards as those in court. You can waive rights by not exercising them even with cops though. People routinely waive their right to council talking to police. It’s just they don’t need to affirmatively waive those rights until they are in custody. The fact that you don’t realize that every single non-custodial witness or suspect that speaks with you is effectively waiving a right BY speaking with you is why they have LEO on such a short leash in term of getting clear waivers. You guys generally have a very sketchy understanding of the constitution and overstep peoples rights. It’s not the same in courts with represented defendants.
Why would the kids want to live in that house? Even if they believe their dad is innocent, horrible things happened there to people that were technically their family. That is so weird.
Peter, you are a phenomenal lawyer, like your father. I am currently in law school, and your channel has been a go to for knowledge, as well as entertainment
With the kind of absurd mixed messenging from defense counsel, I can only conclude/agree with others who said it's not a very well-veiled request for continuance.
RUclips won't allow me to edit? The State has repeatedly offered Defendant 2 qualified DP Attorneys. Which Daybell denied. Now at last minute they ask for new Attorney's? Delaying the Trial. Costing the State Money. However, the Defense Attorney could get Qualified?
Darn, missed it by 8 minutes! Edit* impressed by all parties here, the defense, prosecution and judge. They're all so professional.. ive been watching some cases over at NLC's channel with some inappropriate judges and attorneys!
Your explanations are truly THE BEST!!! I never even had a RUclips login until I watched your channel a few times! I finally broke down just so I could “like and subscribe”. Thank you Peter!!
It’s problematic to make these lawyers to stay on without pay, if I was a defendant I would be worried if the lawyer would stop trying and just phone it in out of being pissed. Yikes
@@sallycinnamon5370 the level of misdemeanor he pled guilty to in the sexual harassment and felony battery case makes him ineligible according to Idaho law
I think it’s more the time it takes, and the fact that CD chose him, Prior, because he was hired by CD he doesn’t need to be DP qualified, he has stuck either way him and every opportunity Prior had to pull out he didn’t. DP has been on the table since the start, it’s been going for years. He was probably hoping DP would be removed especially after LD trial who got LWP reality really sunk in and I think Prior knows he’s in for a huge loss in this case, they have so, so much evidence….. I personally don’t think the state at this point would give him a deal, just on all his delay tactics so far and after the overwhelming result after Lori they are now ready to go to the end. They are the ones that made it so difficult for the state, all these years so they are ready to sock it back at him 😂????? Who knows, but, it makes you wonder. CD has been so “not Guilty” all these years, apparently his kids think he’s innocent, I think he is good at brainwashing, and 100% guilty. IMO ❤
How much does a private attorney generally make for this kind of case? Trying to understand how much prior made up till funds ran out to now what the deficit would be.
I do not see how bad he’s legally allowed? That would never happen in Australia it’s against the rules and regulations, if you don’t pay someone he’s working your criminally charged, in this case the court would be charged. It’s a complete disgrace a lawyer should be allowed to leave any time when the money runs out if they’re private attorney you can’t pay your face and you have no lawyer and it’s a states problem. Forcing him to stay on just to suit the state complete the trial is just shocking to me. I understand about the victims and the victims families but the simple fact is this man has a right to be paid.
Is he really doing it for free? I heard he allegedly got Chad's home as payment plus money from Tammy's life insurance. Maybe it's not as much money as he's used to but I'm not sure I'd say he's working for free.
John Prior talks too much and is using circular reasoning. He knew a year ago that Daybell was indigent at which point he should have withdrawn. Effectively he has been working pro bono for a year so it’s not surprising that the judge refused to let him off the case. Prior is a master of deflection and delay. All he’s done is to paint himself into a corner while at the same time setting up appellate issues. This man is crafty and cunning. Something smacks of lack of integrity.
He knows it's better for his client to put as much distance between his and his wifes case, so another year long continuence would be benefitial. Right now as has been for the last couple of years, the facts of this case have saturated the news both in mainstream and also in socials which does not bode well for Chad. He's hoping things will die down and people will forget or there will be more likelyhood of seating a jury with less knowledge of the case. To me, this is just another delay tactic. Plus it seems if he bowed out now his record doesn't take a hit as it will when he loses this case. Right now just like Peter said, he's zealously defended Chad and got the severances he's sought. So why not quit while he's agead and blame it on the lack of money. Side note, does anyone else feel creeped out by how much Chad and John look alike lol.
I have always believed that JP is drinking Chad’s kool aid. He seems to believe that his client really is a victim of Lori. I suppose that works for Chad.
Hey Peter the owner of the top law channel on here.Love your insights and unbiased factual opinions,this is the only channel where I hit that like every time you remind me.Anyway I live very close to the home of golf and wonder if you already have a shirt or cap from St Andrews?
Doesn't the State of ID. have to provide 2 qualified DP Attorneys for an Indigent Defendant? So, this is a ploy on the Defense at the last minute to ask for what the State offered prior to Defendant to assure he was met his right to a fair Trial!
That a big part of this hearing. When Daybell was found indignant he chose to stay with private counsel and Prior waited a year to tell the court he can’t do this by himself. If he dropped Prior he could get 2 DP qualified attorneys.
Prior and Chad made payment arrangements so he got compensated and paid for EVEN THOUGH Prior KNEW he has no experience on death penalty. So, yea.... 😒 Prior is owed NOTHING from the public.
The situation sucks and the company is legally in the right even if it’s morally wrong. But… …when you are planning to welcome a new family member, by whatever means, part of that planning is knowing what your benefits and rights are under your employer and it obvious that this wasn’t done. It should not be a surprise that they won’t grant her leave after previously not doing so. That makes the new parents response feel false and as tho they are attempting to hold this company hostage while playing to consumer outrage for financial benefit. Neither side is really right here.
The amount of times John Prior asks himself a question and answers it drives me crazy. “Do I want to get paid? I absolutely do. Do I think this is fair? No I don’t think this is fair.”
Do I want you to stop talking? Yes. Do you just keep talking? Yes, yes you do.

A represented court room defendant needs to exercise his rights or they are waived all the time during court. The assumption is that his lawyer is aware of his rights and is the one that is ensuring they are being upheld.
He absolutely knew that when he chose to keep Prior on probono instead of getting public defenders because it seems it was discussed in an ex party hearing with the judge.
Effective waivers happen all the time in courts. Every time the attorney doesn’t object to something it is an effective waiver to appeal.
Law enforcement operates in more black and white because the defendants aren’t assumed to know all their rights. In court, with an attorney, they are assumed to know their rights.
@sallycinnamon5370 there's a key difference, and lawyers use the proper legal terms so they don't get themselves caught up later.
She didn't say he "effectively waived his right" which there are legal standards for when a right has been effectively waived. She said he "essentially" waived his rights. There isn't a legal standard for that, and if I told the state or federal prosecutor on the case for one of my arrests that the suspect "essentially" waived their rights, I'd be under investigation for violating his constitutional rights.
She didn't say he effectively waived his rights because she knows that it wouldn't hold up in court and she doesn't want to purger herself on the record, she said essentially because it's a close enough term that might slide by the judge (and did since nobody mentioned it in the hearing) and that wouldn't get her in hot water with an ethics board because she didn't actually claim he waived his rights, she only claims that in her mind he waived his rights.
@@Tinmann_77 LOL. You are overreaching. She is not saying he waived his rights because that it’s not her determination to make and she can’t state that as fact until the judge has made that determination. They were in court today to decide if he had waived his rights. But the long and short of this hearing is that Chad did waive his rights to public defenders a year ago and he has not given an adequate reason to reverse that waiver.
The procedure by police are not the same standards as those in court. You can waive rights by not exercising them even with cops though. People routinely waive their right to council talking to police. It’s just they don’t need to affirmatively waive those rights until they are in custody. The fact that you don’t realize that every single non-custodial witness or suspect that speaks with you is effectively waiving a right BY speaking with you is why they have LEO on such a short leash in term of getting clear waivers. You guys generally have a very sketchy understanding of the constitution and overstep peoples rights. It’s not the same in courts with represented defendants.
@@sallycinnamon5370 it is literally what she argued to the judge.
Prior is not actually working for free. He now owns Daybell’s house and collects rent from his kids that live in it.
Fascinating! That is new information to me, and I thought I knew a lot about this case! Can I ask how you know that though?
Oh! I love her podcast! Thanks and I'll have to check it out :)@@tinastreeter4802
What’s the name of her podcast please?
Why would the kids want to live in that house? Even if they believe their dad is innocent, horrible things happened there to people that were technically their family. That is so weird.
Prior now owns Daybell’s house and is collecting rent from members of the Daybell family who are living there. He is not working for free.
It was told on another channel they do not have enough death penalty lawyers and to many cases going on.
Peter, you are a phenomenal lawyer, like your father. I am currently in law school, and your channel has been a go to for knowledge, as well as entertainment
Maybe he could repeat himself a few more times! Sheesh!!
Not sure how Net Woman does it!
I think that every stream!
Hope Peter isn’t getting stalked 😳😳. Who does that?? On every live??
@@kimberlynance2711 someone who is extremely generous, and clearly has the means to do so..
With the kind of absurd mixed messenging from defense counsel, I can only conclude/agree with others who said it's not a very well-veiled request for continuance.
What a confusing argument the attorney made.
RUclips won't allow me to edit?
The State has repeatedly offered Defendant 2 qualified DP Attorneys. Which Daybell denied.
Now at last minute they ask for new Attorney's?
Delaying the Trial.
Costing the State Money.
However, the Defense Attorney could get Qualified?
He waived his rights to the death penalty lawyers a year ago.
Time should not be a concern in a death penalty case
Darn, missed it by 8 minutes!
Edit* impressed by all parties here, the defense, prosecution and judge. They're all so professional.. ive been watching some cases over at NLC's channel with some inappropriate judges and attorneys!
Pryor has been his lawyer from the beginning. How can not be prepared after all these years?
How do I sign up for all the beautiful memberships gifts?
I believe JP knows there is no win in this case.
Your explanations are truly THE BEST!!! I never even had a RUclips login until I watched your channel a few times! I finally broke down just so I could “like and subscribe”. Thank you Peter!!
It’s problematic to make these lawyers to stay on without pay, if I was a defendant I would be worried if the lawyer would stop trying and just phone it in out of being pissed. Yikes
Prior settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by taking misdemeanor battery plea that prevents him from being death penalty qualified
What was this??
@lindsay33. ?? Identify Case & The Specific Idaho Criminal Rule which Specified That Fact
Why would that prevent him from being death penalty qualified?
@@sallycinnamon5370 the level of misdemeanor he pled guilty to in the sexual harassment and felony battery case makes him ineligible according to Idaho law
@@memorylanemodelcars google “john prior sexual harassment felony” and ABA Journal article has all the 2012 details
Thank u & dad for earlier coverage of Karen Read hearing.😘
Great episode as always! So interesting. Have fun in Cali…rain is on the way this weekend…should be great while you here.
JP has been paid handsomely wirh Chads property plus money up front. The judge made the right call to deny his motion. JP is ridiculous.
Why not have the State pay for the Defense Attorney to get Qualified?
I think it’s more the time it takes, and the fact that CD chose him, Prior, because he was hired by CD he doesn’t need to be DP qualified, he has stuck either way him and every opportunity Prior had to pull out he didn’t. DP has been on the table since the start, it’s been going for years. He was probably hoping DP would be removed especially after LD trial who got LWP reality really sunk in and I think Prior knows he’s in for a huge loss in this case, they have so, so much evidence….. I personally don’t think the state at this point would give him a deal, just on all his delay tactics so far and after the overwhelming result after Lori they are now ready to go to the end. They are the ones that made it so difficult for the state, all these years so they are ready to sock it back at him 😂????? Who knows, but, it makes you wonder. CD has been so “not Guilty” all these years, apparently his kids think he’s innocent, I think he is good at brainwashing, and 100% guilty. IMO ❤
Great coverage thank you!
At 6:00 min in …Wait now-- it was about being qualified for DP case and no help with the case. That’s what we discussed Sat
Perhaps this will set up the appellate issue of ineffective counsel?
I thought the exact same thing.
If they take the death penalty off and then he can be paid as court appointed. !?
Prior sounds like Poot and Jim.
Oh yeah such a disgusting trio😮
How much does a private attorney generally make for this kind of case? Trying to understand how much prior made up till funds ran out to now what the deficit would be.
Pryor & Daybell deserve each other.
Please discuss, put on radar, the Idaho 4 case with an unbiased opinion as always. Ty
And he shd STAND UP when addressing the court ffs 🤦🏼♀️
I do not see how bad he’s legally allowed? That would never happen in Australia it’s against the rules and regulations, if you don’t pay someone he’s working your criminally charged, in this case the court would be charged. It’s a complete disgrace a lawyer should be allowed to leave any time when the money runs out if they’re private attorney you can’t pay your face and you have no lawyer and it’s a states problem. Forcing him to stay on just to suit the state complete the trial is just shocking to me.
I understand about the victims and the victims families but the simple fact is this man has a right to be paid.
Is he really doing it for free? I heard he allegedly got Chad's home as payment plus money from Tammy's life insurance. Maybe it's not as much money as he's used to but I'm not sure I'd say he's working for free.
John Prior talks too much and is using circular reasoning. He knew a year ago that Daybell was indigent at which point he should have withdrawn. Effectively he has been working pro bono for a year so it’s not surprising that the judge refused to let him off the case. Prior is a master of deflection and delay. All he’s done is to paint himself into a corner while at the same time setting up appellate issues. This man is crafty and cunning. Something smacks of lack of integrity.
So is the April 1st date still on?
He probably is wanting the judge to maybe a sign to qualified lawyers to assist him
He knows it's better for his client to put as much distance between his and his wifes case, so another year long continuence would be benefitial. Right now as has been for the last couple of years, the facts of this case have saturated the news both in mainstream and also in socials which does not bode well for Chad. He's hoping things will die down and people will forget or there will be more likelyhood of seating a jury with less knowledge of the case. To me, this is just another delay tactic. Plus it seems if he bowed out now his record doesn't take a hit as it will when he loses this case. Right now just like Peter said, he's zealously defended Chad and got the severances he's sought. So why not quit while he's agead and blame it on the lack of money. Side note, does anyone else feel creeped out by how much Chad and John look alike lol.
I have always believed that JP is drinking Chad’s kool aid. He seems to believe that his client really is a victim of Lori. I suppose that works for Chad.
o m g just looked - hadnt noticed before- SOO creepy.
@@alexperkins8433 lol now you won't be able to stop seeing it.
There is going to be a plea deal. It's inevitable
Maybe that was the real reason he did this.
Hey Peter the owner of the top law channel on here.Love your insights and unbiased factual opinions,this is the only channel where I hit that like every time you remind me.Anyway I live very close to the home of golf and wonder if you already have a shirt or cap from St Andrews?
Doesn't the State of ID. have to provide 2 qualified DP Attorneys for an Indigent Defendant?
So, this is a ploy on the Defense at the last minute to ask for what the State offered prior to Defendant to assure he was met his right to a fair Trial!
That a big part of this hearing. When Daybell was found indignant he chose to stay with private counsel and Prior waited a year to tell the court he can’t do this by himself.
If he dropped Prior he could get 2 DP qualified attorneys.
Hello Peter! Glad to hear your opinions on JP’s antics.
Hello are you gonna cover Fanni Willis in Georgia cases?
Thanks!
Well he got the house and now he is renting it for money 💰
Wow can you imagine wanting to live on that property where these horrifying crimes took place 😢
My goodness prior literally said the same thing 25 times
The prosecutors rebuttal was good
BREAKING: Peter can you do the Alec Balwin trial. A grand jury just indicated him.
Oh, here we go again - round 2
I second this! ❤
Prior and Chad made payment arrangements so he got compensated and paid for EVEN THOUGH Prior KNEW he has no experience on death penalty. So, yea.... 😒 Prior is owed NOTHING from the public.
The situation sucks and the company is legally in the right even if it’s morally wrong. But…
…when you are planning to welcome a new family member, by whatever means, part of that planning is knowing what your benefits and rights are under your employer and it obvious that this wasn’t done. It should not be a surprise that they won’t grant her leave after previously not doing so. That makes the new parents response feel false and as tho they are attempting to hold this company hostage while playing to consumer outrage for financial benefit.
Neither side is really right here.
The defense is going to lose anyway
Watch prior at the end go over and talk to prosecutor.
Great job again @peter ❤️💜💚
Now that JP knows he is not getting any additional money a plea deal will suit him more
Thank you for the breakdown!
I'm on social security only. How do i get a free membership? I do not have a computer. Smart phone only.
Sounds like daybell needs to get busy and work on a new book and dedicate it to his attorney
