why are her phone records other than the time in question relevant? clearly her phone records for the vast majority of time after the incident in question are of no value for the litigation. your bias is overwhelming.

Bias?

How so?

KF,

Do u think the court will seal them?

Truly pathetic. Ms Bell drops to yet another new low.

While her phone records after George's arrest after the standoff may not be relevant, there will be significant value for the time period during the first beating and most disturbingly during the night/morning of terror.

Here is a classic Hood quote from the JFP:

"Our office helped get subpoenas to pull bank records and phone records to see if (Robbie) gave him money," said Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood."

Robbie is trying to defend herself in a civil suit, yet is requesting to SEAL her own phone records? What is there to hide? In my opinion, a very suspicious (and dangerous)tactic by her defense attorneys.

Those calls would provide a lot of information. Such as, how George got from Mexico to rehab with a warrant out for his arrest, how he got back, who attended the welcome home party, the times and numbers dialed between 9-10 & 9-11/07, a comparison of the time of death and retention of attorney(s), who was called to move the carpet van, and who else, (possibly) could have been in the house.

I doubt the subject of the majority of the calls was GATORADE.

It might be interesting to see if she called those who could influence the out come of events.

KF, you are not objective on the subject of Robbie Bell. As an attorney, you know this is a routine motion in response to a grossly overbroad discovery request. Yes, the records near the time of the incident are discoverable, but should the plaintiff be able to publish them on this blog? No way. Rattling sabres over nothing is, sadly, routine for this site.

Ditto 9:17. Much ado about nothing.

Ditto, 9:17. Much ado about nothing.

9:17, if you don't like the site, don't visit it.

I appreciate an atty's input.
I have my doubts that Kingfish is an attorney, He might be a para-lawyer ....

WHy should KF (or anyone) pretend to be objective on the subject of this despicable waste of breath? The mountains of evidence already known show what she is really like.

20bucks says her phone records show she ordered a pizza after finding Heather. Would not surprise me.

I'm not biased at all against Robbie.

I just think she actively helped George avoid an arrest warrant, did everything she could to get Heather to drop the charges, gave him access to her guns knowing he had a drug problem and had nearly killed Heather, expressly refused to call the police when he went to kidnap Heather's friend, and took him away from the house because she was afraid James Bell would call the police. I think she violated the obstruction of justice statutes.

But no, I'm not biased against her. Must be a Tulane grad posting.

Amen Kingfish! Robbie Bell is the devil is guilty of everything you just said.

Hey now, easy on the Tulane comment.

What's the proper pronunciation? Is it Two Lane or Too Lame?

i didn't bother reading the motion, but it is not routine to file a motion for protective order for phone records. it is highly unusual and suspect. usually protective orders are sought when the information sought constitutes trade secrets or proprietary information ... not phone records. also, protective orders are usually worked out without court intervention, but that has alot to do with the lawyers involved. who knows what yerger will do but if he follows the law, the subpoena should be limited to relevant time period and the records should not be sealed.

There is a special place in hell for someone that calls a lawyer/judge/relative with a dead body and a kidnap victim in their home(instead of medical/police authorities). Not to mention the fact she was contributing to her monster son who had an active warrant for his arrest, while holding a welcome home party several hours before the violent rampage.

Robbie is trying to defend herself by hiding her own phone records? Why would that be? Could this open even more exposure to possible criminal and civil liability to herself and the "treatment" center? True, I disagree with the post 9/12 records request, but there is very relevant information to be discovered during the rampage of George on Heather and her roommate and his final months as a fugitive of MS while in rehab.

Guess Robbie's attorney Ed Peters won't be responding to this post.

Judge Bell/Uncle James, as a witness, a visitor to the murder/kidnap scene, and (at that point)an attorney for George, can you offer any insight as to why Robbie would want the calls sealed by the courts? Your number would obviously be in the records, but honestly a lot people around the state still wonder, whose numbers would also appear in those records.
This is NOT an issue of overly broad discovery. Remember the generously (suspiciously) REDACTED police reports that were produced early on which required intervention with the MS Ethic Commission to obtain?

Some of the young lawyers sardonic posting on this blog could learn a thing or two about the handling and outcome of this case.

Overly broad. Three years of phone records! Can we say fishing expedition?

Robbie Bell tries to seal her phone records

Copy of motion

No, KF, this is a motion to quash or in the alternative a motion for protective order -- there's a huge diff. The discovery was request is obviously overly broad. Why not just ask for around the time of the event? That would be more beneficial and less inrusive, but evidently they are just fishing.

Obviously there is a difference. One request is to keep the plaintiffs from even looking at the phone records, which I don't see the judge doing, or if that fails, sealing the records from public view which I can see Yerger doing.

I still think the clever thing is for Yerger to redact numbers only.

DOes anyone know who talked Heather into dropping the charges against GB3? I thought someone said an atty did? Was it James Bell?

9:09, you're wrong IMO. Filing for protective orders against overly broad discovery requests are a favorite of defense firms to make an often legitimate objection and to churn the fee bucket. They have the forms in the computer and can quickly paste one together. This one is a softball, the plaintiff won't get near that much phone record. This isn't a fart in a whirlwind except for KFs obsession, and that of some readers here, with the Bell cases.

Actually its not a softball. Everything that happened up to 9/13 on her phone is perfectly legitimate to request. I think Judge Yerger allows the records up to that point given no other argument for the records after that date.

As for obsession, I think we know who you are Miss Tulane alum.

So far you are zero on who you think is the tulane alum. haha. My guess is that anytime someone posts something you don't agree with, you're going to blame it on the tulane alum. Evidently there are a whole lot of them here. But they are not me.

I'm really curious who you are now 10:36 a.m.! Why do I get the impression that you like Robbie Bell and think she actually has/deserves a leg to stand on??
Perhaps we'll find your phone number in that "discovery". Shame on you! Tulane grad or not, ethics should be you new study kiddo!

for what its worth, i'm actually right about this. no disrespect to 9:49. i'm familiar with the defense lawyer billing machine, but even such, the motion to quash is because the subpoena is overly broad and that's routine and appropriate if the issue can't be resolved amongst the parties. if the supboena requests 3 years worth of records, it should not be quashed, it should be limited to the relevant scope. Also, its the protective order for phone records that i was referencing. no fair judge is going to seal those records. they are not even her records, they belong to the cell company. not like medical records. Who knows what yerger will do. he usually agrees with the defendant, but i've won in front of him before (from the other side). finally, i'm really not overly interested in this case and honestly don't think its a strong case, but that's what juries are for. but when i get to input on a topic i actually know something about, i tend to take it (because it's a rare event). cheers

KF, you can't find your ass with one hand. I'm 9:49 and haven't even visited Tulane. I am an Ole Miss alum.

BTW, I never said they wouldn't get the records of the dates near the incident. They will never see her records for the YEARS they asked for. Do you disclose how little you really know about litigation to potential clients wanting your services for same?

Well, you're doing a very good imitation of one. Actually under rules 35 and 52 of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure its not a broad request and can be granted. There is case law as well: McBride v. Meridian.

If you are trying to prove a pattern of conduct on the part of RB that shows she consistently took actions to avoid the consequences of criminal behavior of the part of her son AND herself , a long time line is not unreasonable.
I'm afraid lawyers have gotten so caught up in the winning/losing game of lawyering that you've forgotten the legal system is suppose to be about " justice for all"...that a " fair" trial doesn't mean a trial of where trickery and deceit and hiding evidence are effective...where doubt is suppose to be " reasonable", not some irrational, unsupportable theory designed to obfuscate and dupe.
Superman's " Truth, Justice and the American Way" is the casualty. Way to go. Killing American ideals is working just great.
