The area it happened, as you can clearly see on the videos, is a bar. Literally a bar. Not a children’s area. |
More like still skeeved out that I had to enter his dark cave and ask a third time why my wiring had not been fixed only to see that he was viewing porn on his iPad. |
Ewwww
|
And throughout the video I didn’t see a single other child. Not one. The escalators are near the play area at Tysons mall, so maybe that’s a play area too? |
There’s no play area on that ship. There are pools on that deck, and there is a walkway between the pools, bars, etc. and a seating area with tables and chairs near the windows. I was on that ship the week before the accident (got off that ship that morning), and we looked out those windows many times. Again: no children’s play area on that ship. |
I’m irrationally annoyed at the sheeple who insist “to be fair” and then defend the dirty rotten lying —insert lawyer or grandpa or combination of both. They’re liars. It’s not a play area. They said it was. And then the media repeated it as if it were a fact! It’s not a child’s play area. |
And even if it were, she didn’t trip and fall out the window. She was lifted and dropped. Big difference. |
I'm the "to be fair" PP. I am fully blaming the grandfather, mother and father for negligence and this entire horrifically distasteful lawsuit. It is disgusting to be trying to profit off of your child's death, especially when it was caused by your family's negligence. My comment was for those people who are trying to blame the ambulance chaser for this senseless BS. The former prosecutor, the current LEO and the negligent grandfather are smart enough and experienced enough to know exactly what they are doing here. They found a lawyer who would do what they wanted. I disbelieve the narrative that there was an ambulance chaser who jumped at them and forced this story and case on them and is leading them like sheep in this lawsuit. |
Most of us agree with you. The issue is that the family can at least hide behind an emotional, "we are grief stricken and have no idea what we are/were doing". The lawyer, OTOH, is supposed to be a professional who operates within a code of ethics. I know that most lawyers are scummy, but aren't people like defense lawyers supposed to say to their clients, "if you did it, I don't want you to tell me, because then I can't argue a lie in court"? I just find it so unbelievably disgusting that this lawyer has seen VIDEO of the incident and has probably been on the exact ship to check it out and he's still peddling these 100% lies. It's like a criminal defense lawyer seeing full footage of a murder and then arguing in court that it didn't happen. It's absolutely and undeniably unethical, at best, probably criminal (perjury is a crime for everyone else and it should be for lawyers too!), and should be cause for disbarment. |
I wonder if she had been in the pool and her swimsuit was slippery for him to get a good grade and he lost his grip. It looked like One article on the video Mentioned her in a white sun hat or swimsuit, I can’t recall which. |
even MORE of a reason why he's a complete idiot and solely the one to blame for her death. |
That is exactly what a lawyer is supposed to do. They have to mount a vigorous defense in support of their client. To not do that is what could subject them to disbarment. And yes, defense attorneys frequently know their clients committed the crime. But that’s not ultimately what they are arguing against, they are fighting to prove the government cannot prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that their client committed the crime. Attorneys are also not asked in court as to whether or not their client is guilty or if their client committed the crime. What you believe is “undeniably unethical, at best probably criminal” is not at all how the judicial system works. They are not committing ethics violations nor are they committing perjury by providing a defense for the client. The only way they’d be committing an ethics violation or committing perjury would be if they’ve been told their client is guilty and they are asked if their client is guilty and the lawyer says no. But again, that isn’t how our justice system works. The defense attorney isn’t the one on trial and doesn’t testify. This article does a good job of explaining what defense attorneys do: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/representing-client-whom-the-lawyer-thinks-is-guilty.html |

Who sends a 1 year old dressed in a bathing suit to play in a pool area with a fully dressed grandfather?
Had Chloe been going into the water alone? What on earth? |
On that area of the deck there aren't sharply defined areas. I wouldn't call it a bar but I wouldn't call it a children's play area. It's a general recreation area. There is an actual children's play area with specific staff to entertain children. It's called adventure ocean. |
RCI has life guards. They are certainly more capable swimmers unless Gramps is a former Olympic hopeful. |
