Only one of The Dread Deadbeat Pro-Se Kimberlin’s LOLsuits against me ever made it to trial. The TKPOTD for two years ago today dealt with one of my favorite moments of that trial.

One of the rules for questioning a witness is to never ask a question that you don’t already know the answer to. Another is don’t ask question that help the other side. Yet another is don’t ask questions that hurt your side. TDPK hit a trifecta.

Yesterday, a commenter alluded to this bit of incompetent litigation by The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin that occurred during the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. LOLsuit trial.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Okay, now when you call me a pedophile repeatedly —

MR. WALKER: Uh-huh.

MR. KIMBERLIN: You must have some basis for that. Tell me what you tell the jury why you know, why you think that’s true? And where is the truth, where is the evidence?

MR. WLAKER: Okay, well it’s a number of different things. First of all I read Mark Singer’s book on Citizen K, the authorized —

MR. KIMBERLIN: Your Honor, first of all —

THE COURT: It’s your question.

MR. KIMBERLIN: I understand.

THE COURT: You asked the question.

MR. KIMBERLIN: I understand.

Go ahead.

MR. WALKER: And in that book it discusses how you had a very questionable relationship with a young girl. He identifies her as Jessica Barton. Her real name I have since learned is [redacted]. She was 10 years old when you came into her life according to Singer. And it also, by the way, this is backed up by Indianapolis Star newspaper articles I’ve also read. She was 10 years old when she came into your life. She was 14 years old when you left it, I think I understand when you were arrested for the series of bombings you committed and you were convicted of.

And Aaron proceeded to spend most of the next 15 minutes or so outlining for the jury what his reasons were to believe that Brett Kimberlin was a pedophile.

Of course, TDPK’s stupid mistake didn’t really wind up affecting the jury’s deliberations; they never got the case. Judge Johnson granted a directed verdict for the defendants after TDPK rested his case because he never presented a “scintilla” (the judge’s word) of evidence that Aaron Walker, Stacy McCain, Ali Akbar, or I had defamed him.

Sometimes things proceed even better than I have foreseen.
