Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

[AnOminous]

Ty said he would like to, and he'll probably try.

But no guarantee, there.

It might be strategically useful to hold back on them until Casey does the dumb shit he's going to do with out of context bullshit and Shane does the dumb shit he's going to do, and then nobody will be able to complain when Ty corrects the record with the full record.

Keep in mind, we don't expressly need the videos for that. I'm sure the relevant facts will filter out in the usual way.

Should be interesting in and of itself to hear what skeletons the Believe Wahmen brigade were hiding while they were calling vic a rapist/pedo/predator/etc.

 

[Slimy Time]

Will the depositions by made public like Alex Jones's?

That was quite something to watch, in Jones' case it involved him being examined by an idiot attorney interested in putting on a show. Given that most are predicting the usage of Vic's deposition as a 'show' to smear him some more, I wouldn't be surprised if dumb shit happens/things get heated throughout the deposition as it did in Jones'. I'm sure in Vic's case BHBH will prep him well and I'm sure MoRon's depositions will be entertaining to hear about/watch.

 

[DragoonSierra]

I wouldn't be too worried about Vic in a deposition. Someone from BHBH will probably walk him through some of it just to give him an idea of what it's like and what to expect. He probably has a good idea of what Monica and Ron have told Casey to bring up as well so he can prepare for it pretty well.

The other thing is that for Vic, sitting down at a table and talking for up to six hours is just like any day at a con and we've seen that he not only puts in full days but regularly goes without any bathroom breaks or even stays late so that everyone who got in line can get to talk with him.

Monica might do okay for similar reasons, but I think she has a much harder time explaining all of the inconsistencies in her stories and all of the other bullshit. Ron is completely fucked. This is the kind of guy who needs to put up little notes at work telling him how to act like a normal human being around other people. He isn't going to last twenty minutes in a deposition before he starts falling to pieces.

Also keep in mind Monica and Ron can be played against each other. If one of them says something thats inconsistent with the other then theres a problem. But that probably is less likely to happen since they will be able to talk to each other after thier first deposition

 

[PomegranateKing]

Huh, how about that, Casey gets to depose Vic first. Hope it was worth looking like an asshat.

I don't expect him to file the TCPA directly after Vic's deposition, but if he does, I will be chuckling all day long.

I've been lurking more and more on this issue, but now is as good a time as any to go full lurk mode. Both sides will be smuckling (smug chuckling) until things progress.

But I have a rare chance to glimpse the future on this one, and I'm calling it now:

Nick will mention an obscure bit from the depositions. It might not even be something juicy. Heck, it might not even be deposition related, but some autist on the kickvic side will hear it as such.

The usual twitter spergs will come out armed with bits from Vic's deposition, because based on the line Nick said he "gave away" a bit of the depositions first.

This will then awaken the fury of the beard, who will promptly hand over the juiciest bits to Nick, who will reveal them to a live audience. Much merriment and liquor will be had. Nobody will accept blame for spilling things first. And ultimately, it will end with a couple of out-of-context lines that get held up for the public spotlight. Both sides will simultaneously declare victory for different reasons.

Chupp won't. If he was dad mode at the May 31st hearing, he's going to pissed to hell if Casey pulls that.

 

[AnOminous]

I think it's actually strategic to have let him depose Vic first because it gives him an opportunity to fuck up in a way that will bite him in the ass savagely and nearly immediately if he pulls such a stunt.

The question is just how fucking dumb is the man.

That, and Vic is:
1. An accomplished public speaker
2. A pretty normal dude with nothing to hide other than what's already out there
and 3. Not prone to fits of rage and anger.

If any tard-cum comes out of Vic's deposition, I'll eat Shane's shoe.

Eh. I bet duper lawyer thinks it's a major win for him already. Because "MEE, MEE, MEE, I GET TO GO FIRST!"

Classy choice on Ty's part to let baby have his bottle. I tip my fedora, sir.

They just filed the Rule 11 agreement where he agrees not to do that. That’s what the agreement to extend the deadline for !otion to Dismiss is.

No, and other parties usually aren't there. In general, nobody who isn't being paid to be in a deposition wants anything to do with one.

The Lawyers generally prefer the clients not be there. Just look at the recent Meyer v Waid depositions and Waid’s outbursts to understand why. The litigants have a right to be there, but it is their option.

This is exactly why I hope Vic is there. From an amusement standpoint, seeing Ron and Monica just fucking BREAK with him right there, watching... well, it'd be glorious. From a tactical perspective... you have two people who cannot keep their mouths shut, one of them known for flying off the handle with a moments notice. Placing Vic there with the order he says nothing, does nothing, and just politely listens would be potentially very useful when the ensuing meltdown happens. The words, or words to the effect of, "I'm glad I ruined you" have a high chance of appearing.

Oh hells no! Vic is a bit too nice and empathetic. Having him there would limit BHBH in doing what needed to be done. It’s better to not have him in the room.

This. I know Vic has said he doesnt want to destroy these people, but they certainly want to destroy him. The thing about wars is that it only takes one side willing to start shit to have a war. Ty almost certainly understands this.

 

[SargonF00t]

Is it unreasonable to fear that with Vic being deposed first, that allows for Soye & Mong to craft answers they give in their depositions, some of which they would not have been able to do, if they had been deposed before Vic was?

MoRon should be more concerned that if they have Casey dredge up a bunch of embarrassing shit in Vic's deposition, BHBH will be going second and will probably retaliate in kind.

There's always that worry, but the first deposition is the following day which would give them a single evening to study the material (assuming any video or transcript is immediately available to them) and just wading through it all, never mind crafting strategy around it, would consume about as much time as they have.

Then, even if they do try to come up with a strategy, they can only play as loose with the truth as they assume that BHBH won't be able to immediately call them on it. Trying to dance around a particular point does you no good if the other side has some other piece of evidence that nails you down.

Any time that Casey does spend with these clowns would be better spent getting them to behave or not to say anything stupid that will tank the case. It's like training a puppy. You don't spending time teaching it to do backflips if you're still worried it's going to shit all over the carpet.

They can't really craft their way around having repeatedly contradicted themselves and flat out admissions of wrongdoing. They can't craft their way into having hundreds of rape victims to produce to prove the dumb shit they've repeatedly said. Even if they can, 24 hours isn't much to do anything with any of this stuff.

Assuming they don't get Vic's deposition and then immediately file a TCPA motion anyway. I still totally believe Casey is that much of a piece of shit.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Not really. Generally it works more the other way. With Casey deposing Vic first it gives BHBH more info on what to ask. Crafting your answers is fairly worthless because you don't control the questions. Nor do you control the form of your answer. Deposition is not a platform for grandstanding and story telling. You answer the questions presented. As succinctly as possible.
