Of course the judges have called out the State on their ridiculous statute of limitations claim using Rosa Parks as a perfect example. By doing so they are also making the District Judge who fell for that argument and dismissed the case look equally inept….. or corrupt? The State has a habit of purposefully bringing up these meaningless arguments, turning our cases into complex legal quagmires and rejoicing when the Judge sides with them or becomes too exasperated to deal with it, all to simply delay rulings and to force us to expend more resources, etc. It’s a shady game they’re playing and our lawyers are to be commended for fighting the good fight!
I believe the 11th circuit will rule in our favor. Question is timing. They have had the McGuire case now for almost 3 years. Therein lies the issue
