Judge orders former Oneida County executive candidate to pay $394K in defamation case
"Judge my client didn't have a baby with the County Executive" - Louis mobster Brindisi attorney for McCann
"I understand your position Mr. Brindisi, but your client is going to have to prove her case, which includes medical records" - NYS Supreme Court Judge Scott DelConte December 2019
So what happened with the medical records that Judge DelConte had requested? Perhaps he had a change of heart...or did the cabal tell him how it was going to go?
What medical records did McCann actually provide? The answer, ZERO. She provided a bogus medical questionnaire that she found online in which one of the questions asked, "How many pregnancies" and her answer was "0". This document was not signed by a doctor, indexed or stamped by any physician or physician's assistant. It was a sheer act of desperation. The corrupt Judge would later rule this a medical document and award summary judgement to McCann and the cabal paving the way for a damages trial but....before all of that there was....
….Depositions, (Have you watched the video above IN THEIR OWN WORDS YET?) The depositions would be video taped. As depositions took place, it was apparent that the Brindisi-Cabal Law Firm was getting very nervous. You can actually see it in Louie's face in the video. I know, some of you are going to say, well maybe he was just confused? Maybe his hearing aid was ringing or his 20 plus years less female "companion/caregiver" was distracting him. No, Brindisi was well aware of what was happening and extremely worried for the facts to come out. So, how could he defeat the facts? There was only one way, get DelConte on his side. (Side note: In Deposition when McCann was questioned about visited an OBGYN for contraception, she stated that she had visited a doctor in Charleston. Upon researching this information, having talked to the Network's Attorney, no record was returned showing that McCann had been a patient. SC record retention law is 10 years. While this case was going on, the inquiry was less than 10 years. Therefore, either the doctor's office was committing a crime or McCann was lying. Asked what pharmacy she received her script from McCann replied, "I don't remember". Okay, unless you are 90 and have your prescriptions delivered by some guy you call Carl but his real name is Peter, one would remember the pharmacy you used for prescription medication. We all do.
Midway through depositions and with a slew of witnesses left to call, DelConte abruptly orders depositions to stop. Now, in typical cases you would stop depositions if and only if an agreement had been reached or that it was becoming painstakingly obvious who and what was going on. Here however, the judge had no knowledge of what was going on at all. He hadn't had any transcripts and their were no motions on the table to end the depositions. So why order them to stop? After all, Gordon only had like 5 deponents in which in some civil cases you can have upwards of 100 or more. But 5? What was going on here?
Let's go back to the very beginning even before depositions started. Early December 2019, DelConte orders Gordon, his counsel, and the plaintiff and her counsel to the Rome Court house. During a private meeting in the judge's chambers DelConte continues to insist that both parties reach an agreement. A few hours would drag on and counsel was in and out of the judge's chamber discussing different things (absent Gordon). Finally, Gordon and his Attorney in private with the judge, the judge says, "Mr. Gordon, would you consider apologizing to Picente?" No sooner was the judge writing out a statement on piece of paper demanding Gordon to apologize to Picente. When Gordon refused, the seemingly hung-over judge with his blood shot eyes began to get very aggressive. He would shout, "Okay let's call the case then!" This was the beginning of his tyrannical behavior which would include impulsive, unwarranted and biased decisions and orders.
Back to Depositions. Once DelConte, who was pressured by the cabal which involved his mentor, disgraced non-law degree cheating Bob Julian, a former NYS Supreme Court judge that abruptly left the bench and took an office in Brindisi's basement, had stopped depositions, Gordon would have to seek relief sending a letter to the NYS Supreme Court Administrative Judge Murphy in Syracuse. Shortly after the letter was received by the judge, DelConte who received a welted hand, allowed the depositions to continue...well kinda. He wouldn't allow any other witnesses to be added to the deposition list.
Fast forward to the motion for Summary Judgement by McCann's attorney, and countered with Gordon's motion to dismiss. For anyone that doesn't get how it works, I'll sum it up here. There was never a trial, nobody on the stand and no jury to hear the case of whether or not McCann had actually been defamed. See, this is how the "boys club" and our corrupt courts work. The judge with no evidence supplied by McCann or her legal team, (remember he or she that brings suit must prove their case, not the defense) no medical record, no affidavits from family, gram, friends, co-works....nothing, just McCanns affidavit and complaint, the judge dismisses Gordon's motion to dismiss the case (on the grounds that they have nothing to prove their case) and grants summary judgement to McCann. This means, Gordon is guilty of defamation. Later the judge would order it to trial and he said, "This trial will be about damages only, liability has already been established."
So, what does that mean "damages only?" I'm glad you asked. It means in a nutshell that no person would be given an opportunity to discuss the case outside perceived or actual damages. So, if Gordon were to go to the damages trial, start discussing witnesses, events, or subpoena people for information about the affair, he would be immediately roadblocked as the court would only allow it to pertain to "damages only". This case would never see the light of day. Picente would never see the stand ever and that was what they wanted. How can a judge do this? Easy, NYS courts are corrupt and remember, judges are attorneys first and then politicians that have to be elected to the bench.
Now, because the court and cabal had compromised the case, Gordon was not coming back to the dog and pony show in the kangaroo court. He asked DelConte to be able to move forward remotely (since there was also a world-wide pandemic going on anyway). To which DelConte would grant. Later, he would order Gordon to "Waive his right under oath to an in-person trial so that he could proceed remotely." Gordon would later do this. (Watch the video)
Watch the video, you will see DelConte lie in court records stating that Gordon never waived his right to an in-person scam damages trial. Once Gordon said he would not be in court, DelConte issued a judicial subpoena requiring him to proceed remotely as a WITNESS ONLY for the mobster attorney to call on behalf of McCann. This meant that Gordon could not proceed remotely in his defense, but could ONLY proceed as a witness remotely. So, basically, DelConte wanted Gordon in Rome NY at the trial as the defense and in South Carolina at the same time on Zoom as a witness for McCann....how do you do that? The answer is, you can't and they knew it. So they went ahead and held a sham trial (absent any jury) where McCann mustered up fake tears on the stand for the media. It was quite the show but was it anything more than a show?
Oh, after this sham process, corrupt DelConte awards the cabal positioned District Attorney Scott McNamara (A public official, in his official capacity) over $2000.00 because Gordon had subpoenaed him as a witness after having called on him to investigate the affair (at Gordon's first press conference), which he then responded on the so very "popular and nationally syndicated" Keeler in the Morning Show...cough cough,
"I am not investigating this at all". Bob Julian (his attorney and DelConte's best friend) issued a motion to quash (like squash, meaning to get rid of) the subpoena. Of course DelConte found the subpoena to be "politically motivated" allowing McNamara and others to run away and awarding him money from Gordon for having to pay his good friend for representing him. How nice is that? I wonder how many checks NYS Attorney General Laticia James has received for being subpoenaed to do her job? Probably not many...or maybe she has.
