JESS - That is exactly my point. No evidence has been brought forth yet. Let's see. Let's look at the evidence instead of assuming we know what happened.

I have not seen statements that state this. Could you show me where those allegations were made against the plaintiff?

In section 23 of the complaint the following is stated:
"Defendants COUNTY, LIEDHOLM, STAGG-HOURIGAN, BREWSTER and others and each of them, further made representations and false and misleading statements in support of said Petition, including but not limited to accusing Plaintiff GREENE of committing physical abuse and financial abuse of Decedent, being a danger to Decedent"

Had you read the complaint or only the coverage of the complaint? I think it's kind of odd that none of the media has mentioned that little tidbit and I am positive that none of the agencies involved from the defendant's side are making a big deal out of it. Of course it's kind of a lot to expect of the media to actually dig into a case like this when they can't even get details of world events right.

Lots of cases of domestic abuse go unreported. I can't speak to whether there were or weren't ANY cases of abuse here. I'm reading the complaint and what the plaintiff's lawyer is saying his client was accused of.
And in summary? We can't know. We weren't there. How about we wait for the evidence to be presented before we damn anyone.
