Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 piece of cake, you got it in the bag girl. hers a bit of advice to remember on the stand, I've been there before. stay calm, smile, and if a nasty old lawyer tries to confuse you with his questions, tell him you don't understand the question could he please repeat it again, and again, and again if needed. make sure he asks in a way that his question is just as clear as your answer will be. lol's, dont be supprized if his face turns a bit red and he starts foaming at the mouth. lawyers hate it when they have to repeat their question over again and have to eventually drop the added bs that is meant to confuse you and trick you into answering the question wrong. if they get aggitated, your doing good. I wont say good luck, cause luck should have nothing to do with it. justice is what it's all about. right and wrong and you are in the right. my thoughts well be with you. you will win!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks for all the good advice, you guys. I am just going to do what I swear I will under oath.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Sharon, if you need testimony from me and others, I would be happy to provide it. I wish someone would do an investigation of the United HealthCare building here in Kingston NY and subpoena all the records of their past and present employees. That would be proof enough that mycotoxins do cause illness and death. The American Cancer Society local chapter refused to give me local reports and stats back then. The collaboration between them, the state of NY, city of Kingston, and UHC would probably be ripe for a RICO investigation as would so many other locales. I wish I could help financially. Perhaps you could supply an address for us to donate. If everyone on this list gave even $5, it would help.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes, don't be afraid to take time to think. There are techniques to slow down questioning so you have that time. One is to repeat question back to person who asked you. This also accomplishes another thing, to make clear what the question is exactly and so everyone clearly hears the question. --- In , <brianc8452@...> wrote: > > Jeanine gave you some good advice. Here's my 2 cents...this is meant to give you a good laugh!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Sharon, Even without saying you know our thoughts and prayers will be with you today. Many of us know, and are aware that because of your determination, many cases have been and are being won becaue you took the teeth and deceit out of the ACOEM report that no one else has been able to accomplish. You stood your ground and refused to back down and because of this, many, many people will never know that YOU were the one who laid the background work for all cases to come. Walk proud lady. WE are deeply indebted to you for continuing this fight, even at a great loss to yourself, to make sure that the truth prevails. WE are very proud of you. The proof is within our judicial systems that are now beginning to understand(to some extent) the true results of mold exposure within our living environment.
