(1,741 posts)Not true. Here are my exact words:
"The missing underpants are a claim not a fact. It's a claim that has been disputed by at least one nanny."
I never disputed that a babysitter made the claim, only that there are competing claims.
I stand by my opinion of this ruling. There is no new evidence here against Allen. And this a custody hearing, not a criminal hearing against Allen. The judge has an opinion like everyone else. You are correct that his opinions are different in the sense that he has legal authority the rest of us don't have. But they are not different in the sense that his opinions can be regarded as some kind of indisputable Truth. Another judge might have come up with a completely different "Finding of Fact." This judge might have even come up with a different finding if he had not been prejudiced by the prosecutor Maco inappropriately sending the judge his opinion before the proceedings. You are giving entirely too much weight to the views of this judge. He is a human being, not a god. And we've seen many, many examples of bad judges - everything from the judge who tried to change that child's first name to the judge involved in the Cash for Kids operation to judges who have given slaps on the wrist to rapists. Would you argue that those judges have the Final Word on everything?
I think we're just going in circles here. Let's just agree to disagree.
