like I said....getting ripped off sucks. maybe do ALOT more research next time before spending so much money. anyone not willing to give up the info, move along.

The size difference in the turtles.....that seems minor to me. keep in mind that ive never owned a turtle in my life (had a tortoise once). I say that because maybe ill be seeing it the same way a judge would be seeing it.

The het traits, to my knowledge (I'm no expert), need to be proved out. I would think at a minimum, the judge will require you wait and see, specifically if the defendant is saying they are hets. that's word against word and the judge isn't going to make a judgment based on hunch. he wouldn't want the embarrassment of making a judgment against anyone only to be proven wrong later.

it seems like you cant take the advice (from your legal team I assume as well) and be quite. just stop reading this all together until you have factual, postable evidence, or you have a resolution to your case.

being in law enforcement school, I would think you have at least the basic understandings of the Miranda warnings?? specifically the part that says you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. the supreme court has ruled that statements made under Miranda warnings cannot be used in court to help you. they can only be used against you.

same with this thread....there is NOTHING here that is helping you so do yourself a favor and remain silent. the element of surprise is your best bet. your legal team is paid to do the work for you with the evidence you provide. this thread is not doing anything for you or your legal team except making life harder...however minor it may be.

not to be a rude or anything....but the comment chris Kennard made about the het for diamond rocks.....you've got to admit that was the funniest thing youll hear all week. I woke my fiancé by laughing. it should bring to light the fact that you had what appeared to be a serious problem early on, now people are talking about het for diamond rocks. think about that! it should be showing you that this thread is not being taken seriously. it might be looked at the same way in court. I'm just saying.

I categorically NEVER read any Kennille posts, since I deem them as offensive and trolling. They are designed to bait, demean, and cause havoc, of which they often do. Not just this post, but many many posts where offensive trolls dominate a ruin a discussion, in its entirety.

Since I absolutely do not even read the first letter of those, I would have not seen anything funny. They are immediately scrolled through without further consideration. Any comments I would ever make, to those folks - is nothing more than troll slop food. I remember when my son was born, he had brain surgery, and trolls took his photos and said aweful things about my boy - they are a different breed of F Up.

However, with regards to your post. I do think you brought up some great points, and what you said about part of the fun being the surprise, - I cannot deny that is very true. Also, your perspective as a non-turtle guy, gives me a sense of what a court may perceive. I can see where your going with that.

Based on your rational comment on the post, I will speak with my council about delaying the actions until they prove out as not het. It would likely be very simple to dismiss without prejudice, and re-file once more information is collected.

Or file a motion for more time, for discovery purposes. I am no attorney, but I will explore ways to extend this. The seller insists they are hets, and make no mistake - I want to believe them.

And, I believe the statute is three years, so your logic that waiting to prove them out, would likely be a smarter decision. Since your post is actually meaningful and thought out, it may serve to benefit me. I will explore some more avenues.

I have not compromised any information that I did not want to release, because I do have the right to remain silent, and I was never buckled under pressure to compromise items of surprise nature, I only disclosed the claim, exactly as it was presented to the defendants and their attorneys.

Anything else you have to add would be greatly appreciated.
