James Ray Trial Trucs :: April 22nd

Michael Hamilton :: owner of the Angel Valley Fake Results Exploitation Retreat Center LLC :: and proud member of the gnome family :: spent Friday wearing a tie and being crossed by Truc Do {Munger Tolles & Olson} :: ninja of boring.

Angel Valley has hosted James Arthur Ray’s increasingly dangerous :: and obviously horrible :: Spiritual Warrior event every year since 2003. It’s a miracle that people didn’t die sooner. That they didn’t surely had NOTHING to do with Gnome Hamilton {2.0} … who charges people big money to watch him pretend like he’s something other than a dirty little money whore.

It’s his land. It was his lodge. It was his fault. Says the defense to the jury :: me thought … but no.

Such a good argument :: because it was his fault. Not all his fault {of course} :: and not his criminal fault. But Michael Hamilton and his imaginary Angels were at fault. Enabling the devil’s greeds to service your own greeds is faulty.

The defense team spent entire days trying to destroy the credibility and characters of Ms. Martin and Dr. Bunn :: both of whose actions were near impeccable. So the bankrupt :: corrupt … posing little asshole Michael Hamilton was sure to get his.

… but no.

– Crystal Skulls :: like from Indiana Jones movie {not a joke} :: you get magic messages from them … for monies. #JamesRay #

– The Angel Valley v. JRI lawsuit is given to Mr. Hamilton by an urban-camo-ninja #JamesRay #

– Mr. Hamilton’s biz practices can be attacked in ways that #JamesRay can’t be attacked because his liberty isn’t in jeopardy. #JamesRay #

– Ms. Do admits a bunch of signed Angel Valley waivers for SW09 participants. #JamesRay #

– Q: Did you write this? A: Yes … but – #JamesRay #

– The letter was just about having a “heart to heart” :: it wasn’t about monies …. Mr. Hamilton only understands philosophy. #JamesRay #

– Mr. Hamilton clarifies that the In & Out burger sweat lodge was 2006 not 2007 … alright then. #JamesRay #

– No need to learn the names of the injuns … not part of Mr. Hamiltons philosophies. #JamesRay #

– Wood. It was old. Too old? Decide for yourself. #JamesRay #

– After October all the wood was sold off as fire wood. Destroying all the evidence :: except for the parts in evidence. #JamesRay #

– Ms. Do isn’t implying that the wrong wood was burned … she justs wants to talk about it for an hour or so. #JamesRay #

– Q: Did you train Ted Mercer how to recognize pressure treated wood? A: Yes. #JamesRay Lunch recess. #

– We’re back … still wood. #JamesRay #

– The sweat lodge was sampled for evidence {in four places} and then destroyed. #JamesRay #

– Truc proving that Det. Diskin wasn’t very interested in the wood or the o-phosphates until the insane defense team started yammering bout it #

– I thought Ms. Do was going to own this poser :: so disappointed … and bored. #JamesRay #

– Det. Diskin was free to investigate imaginary causes of death if he wanted to … but he didn’t. Think about it … #JamesRay #

– Q: Did you become aware of Fawn’s testimony that she used ant killer in 2010? {what?} #JamesRay #

– On and on about ants and how some got killed in 2010 :: pointless. #JamesRay #

– Hamiltons have pictures of poison on plates dating back years. #JamesRay #

– Ms. Do is wondering if the rat cake photos were about insurance claims … Mr. Hamilton demurs … couldn’t be that. #JamesRay #

– Ms. Do reminds Hamilton that he was more sure about how the photos were for insurance when previously asked … #JamesRay #

– Who took the photos of rat plates years before and after the event … let’s talk about that for 45 min or so … if you want. #JamesRay #

– The pump house looked different years later after all the faux lodge stuff was gone … and the biz was almost gone. #JamesRay #

– Q: These rat poison pictures are irrelevant to the jury? A: Yes. #JamesRay #

– Judge {and universe} would love for Ms. Do to move on past the irrelevant two-year-post-death rat poison pictures. #
