The Oral Arguments — On Ms. Holmes’ Appeal Of Her Conviction Will Most Likely Fall…

…during the open windows of June 3-5 or 11-14, 2024.

Counsel for both the government, and Ms. Holmes, have indicated conflicts in July, and on June 7 and June 10 of 2024.

So there you have it — if you have any desire to be in San Fran on those dates, you might catch about an hour of oral advocacy in the Ninth Circuit.

I am scheduled to be in Oakland, those same days — so I might just pop in.

We shall see.

Onward.

Saw NY Post Photos This Morning — And, I Am Feeling Judgmental…

I was very much saddened — and deeply so — even though she and the kids and hubs are smiling in them.

It is… such a narcissist’s move — to have not one, but two babies — knowing full well (if she had possessed ANY ability to self reflect)… that the babies will be in / out of high school, before she might ever spend any real extended time with them.

[Yes she has the right to see her DNA live on — to procreate — but frozen eggs and sperm, and surrogacy — once she is out of prison… that would have been a more responsible option (from the point of view of the children). But when has she ever done a responsible… thing? The delay / surrogacy route would have given her kids a fair shake.

Nope. She chose this path both to garner sympathy from the judge — and to a slight degree, it reduced her sentence by about two years, compared to Balwani’s — but it is still more than a decade, either way. Damn.]

So yes, I have loads of judgment about her inflicting these horrific choices on her kids.

To be clear, the pair of toddlers look to be growing up with a loving nanny (in the pics) — and due to her spouse’s extremely high (but unearned) net worth/wealth, the kids will never know want for material things. And I trust he is a good father (he looks to be every bit the part) — so yes, very healthy, high achieving kids grow up in single parent homes, all the time.

I suppose… it is not unlike having a mom who works on an offshore oil rig, and is only seen for a half day a month, but even that would be in a… family home. [They will only know aged concrete institutional walls, and some sparse Texas parkways, with scrub brush, as their memories — surrounding their sporadic visiting times, with her, in the flesh.

Just… why, Elizabeth?

What makes her place her desires so radically, and so myopically, before all others’ in the Universe?

Why? Given her convictions, I suppose that question has already been answered. She possesses almost none of that “third person’s view” chip.

Out.
