I am not a lawyer, nor can I read minds. . . .

When you are the plaintiff at trial, you get to be the last word as it is your case.  My lawyers smartly did not tell me this until I had already been on the witness stand - twice.  It was on March 13th that I took the stand again for the last time and had the final word in the case.  This was also my time to clarify things that came up from the defense, which they of course put their spin on as they were trying to prove the narrative that I am deceitful and a liar.

Defense lawyers try to create a trap for you when you are on the stand, if they can discredit you with the jury, they hope to win.  But what happens when an attorney sets a trap up (or two) for themselves, unknowingly?!? 😃

While I was being cross examined, the AARP attorney wanted everyone to know that I was not a lawyer. I’m not, so I answered honestly.

But later in her cross-examination, this attorney asked me a question that I would have needed to be a lawyer to answer. They argued their case to ask a line of questioning my attorneys objected to, but the judge agreed and sustained the objection, I am not a lawyer and I 100% relied upon my counsel on how and who to file the lawsuit against.

Also, and I hate to disappoint you all, I cannot read minds.  I know this may prevent me from a future as an illusionist, but I was 100% honest on the stand.  I can’t read minds.

But later in the cross, the attorney wanted me to answer a question that I would have to be able to read my managers mind to answer.  Wait, didn’t we cover this 5 minutes ago, I can’t read minds, you made me admit that in this court in front of everyone here and crushed any future I might have as an illusionist who can read minds.

Good times!  Hope you are enjoying my posts, I know that this is helping me being able to share my story and the discrimination that I experienced at the hands of those at AARP. More fun to come.
