I find her odd - she has sounded strange in interviews - but I do believe her because it sounds like something he would do. And why save the dress unless you intended to use it someday? So I agree that the choice seems inexplicable - a DNA match would be hugely probative while he would likely just wriggle and dissemble at a deposition, so it seems a very unmatched trade.

The question would be was he fearing for the life of the VP or the life of President of the Senate? It is moments like this that make you appreciate the troubles Pooh-Bah went through for the town of Titipu.

I read the relevant filings after I posted my non-comment (which was my bad - I should have read the source filings first, as I usually do). I totally understand why Carroll’s attorney was concerned this was just a further delay tactic.

That said, it appears from the filings that Carroll’s attorneys decided NOT to file a MTC re: the DNA sample, because they somehow viewed it as a choice between obtaining TFG’s deposition testimony OR his DNA sample. That honestly makes no sense to me. Why not pursue both, and let the judge decide?

I’m not sure what is in the appendix that they don’t want to disclose, except for the principle that it wasn’t timely requested, but why not agree to the submission of TFG’s sample under very specific conditions (sample provided by date certain, cost covered by TFG, no delay of trial date, etc.)?

Judge won't allow that. Does he know he'll get crossed? My guess is he'll cave at the last minute and settle, w/o admission of liability, of course.

After going back and reading the filings, it appears that Carroll’s attorneys didn’t file a MTC the DNA sample, after TFG’s attorneys claimed they would vigorously oppose such motion. And her attorneys thought they’d be better off seeking TFG’s deposition testimony rather than pursuing a MTC.

This makes zero sense to me, in a “why not both?” sort of way. At the very least, why not agree to TFG providing a DNA sample now, as long as it doesn’t change the trial date?

Apologies for all the acronyms, but I trust you know what I mean.
