They seem to be legitimate from what I’ve learned but I’m uncomfortable with how the pending trial is out of our control. In the meanwhile, the correspondence continues. How much did Bert and Kate save? How much did the funeral cost? How much did the monument I commissioned cost? There are further arguments about court procedues. Paul Thompkins tries on two occasions to have the trial moved from a federal court to either a state or a county one, and both times loses. He then asks that all the cases be heard together, not one at a time. This, too, is rejected, but at the end of the judge’s statement, I read the following: “While I am skeptical about this claim getting to a jury, or a motion to dismiss, I am bound to accept all allegations as true.” I read this statement several times. Our main reason for going through all this legal garbage is to bring this case before a jury: a public forum before the people of Oregon. Is this judge saying he doesn’t think the case will go to a jury?
