Sex Offender Approved as Class Representative in Modem Class Action Lawsuit

A small bit of encouragement came from a civil class action lawsuit, IN RE ARRIS CABLE MODEM CONSUMER LITIGATION, Dist. Court, ND California 2018.

Plaintiffs, a group of consumers, are suing cable modem manufacturer, Arris, in a class action lawsuit. The case has nothing to do with our cause, except that one of the class representative plaintiffs happens to be a person required to register as a sex offender.

Attorneys for Arris, suggested the individual is not a suitable plaintiff because of his status.

The Court (Northern District of California) came to his defense, saying, “a district court should find inadequacy “only where the representative’s credibility is questioned on issues directly relevant to the litigation or there are confirmed examples of dishonesty, such as a criminal conviction for fraud.” Not only did the Court find the individual’s sex offense (which was from 1993) irrelevant, but also likely inadmissible.

      Thank you Robert, for voicing what I’ve thought for so long. Our religious leaders often sit by on the sidelines, speechless, as atrocities take place that are obviously anti-religious, anti-christian, anti whatever that one’s faith is based on.

      And yet so many will throw their support behind politicians that pervert truth, honesty and justice in return for power. This could be the reason that so many are leaving their faith in droves — primarily young people who seem to see things much clearer than the older generation who seem willing to sell our nations’ soul for short-sighted gains.
