Man sues Dr. who performed abortion under new Texas law

The plaintiff is a disbarred lawyer who was convicted of crimes, and is in prison for felonies of tax evasion, etc.... hmmmm.....o_O
I think I read that he has tried numerous other lawsuits while in prison, as well.:oops::rolleyes:

This law allows for people who have no legal standing to sue others. Do you think that even that part of the new law might stand?

What a bizarre specific circumstance, for a test case of this potential magnitude.

Wow, I didn't even look up he was? A disbarred lawyer, does not surprise me. He should be savvy enough to know, although the law mentions nothing about the plaintiff having TX residency to sue, being a resident of AR is legally problematic. An idiot to be sure.
 
That is what I read. Unless my read got something totally mixed up. o_O
There were other felonies listed, too, but that is the one I remembered. I hope I didn't read it incorrectly. I try to be very careful when I post anything.
 
There are two who sued that doctor, already, it seems.
Both from out-of-state. This law says anyone in the country can sue on this. :rolleyes:

I don't know which one I read has the felonies and is in prison.
The one from Illinois, OR, the other from Arkansas?

Oscar Stilley is the one in the linked OP lawsuit, in prison in AR.

Good grief, what a mess.
Perhaps he is living in hope that if he wins he can pay back the taxes he owes.

True that it is a big mess.

But I don't think the money is his motivation; the crimes involved were already committed, the convictions made, and the punishments are for those crimes themselves, not for the money owed, if it even still is.

He's filed other lawsuits while in prison for numerous crimes.
I think he wants the notoriety, or perhaps he is bored and finding things to do. :oops::rolleyes:
It's strange and not usually allowed, to sue someone when you have not been personally harmed by them in any way.
 
So he's spending the 3-$500 filing fee, whatever it is, nice use of pocket money. He claims in his suit if he has to hire a lawyer to handle it, he wants his attorney fees paid. Wonders never cease about human mentality.

I thought he said he was presently on home confinement.

Yes, he is serving his present prison sentence in home confinement, that's correct.
I apologize. The previous readings I saw, did not mention that.
I read it today, elsewhere too, and was going to post my own note on this thread to clarify that part. The fact that he was convicted is still true....

I also saw that both of these lawsuits are from people who actually agree with the doctor's position, so that might cause them to be dropped by a judge, as in both cases,
the plaintiffs do not even have any disagreement with the defendant. Gosh.
They want the test case, too, and are willing to accept the bounty money if offered.o_O:rolleyes:

He has nothing to lose with this lawsuit and, I'm not so sure it wasn't planned as a way to test the law. With the courts the way they are right now, I wouldn't put anything past them.

The law allows the plaintiff's attorney's fees to be paid; it doesn't allow the defendant's attorney's fees to be paid the defendant wins.

It is cetainly a very strangely worded complaint.

My exact impression. He still has the legal knowledge disbarred or not. Either his mental faculties are rolling down hill or it was part of some strange legal strategy.
