Forgive me if I say anything insensitive or incorrect here, but wasn't there a tiny chance of the supreme court accepting this case from the start? If so, then it shouldn't be too surprising that they rejected it. I'm not saying we shouldn't be upset by their decision though. I'm saying that expectations must be managed. Personally, I hoped for the best, but in the end, the court didn't want to be bothered by this case just like it did with most cases. My hopes were low. I expected the court would pass it by.
I don't know how civil trials are. I hear that the burden of proof is low. If so, the estate's defense must be pretty g**d**n convincing to the judge and jury, and show/prove that, above everything else, there was no abuse to begin with and that it's all a cash grab, if they're allowed to do that. So, their arguments must be striking.
I know a lot of you are disappointed by the latest developments. I am too. But personally, I'm trying to see this as just how the legal system is even though it's severely flawed from the ground up. I don't like it, but let's hope and pray that the estate will put on a strong defense.
