Deposition Misconduct MPS Board President attorney refuses to answer part 2

On January 5, 2024, Milwaukee Public Schools Board President Marva Herndon is deposed by Ben Hitchcock Cross in the Folaron v MPS case. Herndon explains how she “reviews” the $1.5 Billion budget which involves not reading the entire document but claiming the state underfunds the district. Herndon claims to not be aware of any formal complaints against Keith Posley yet can explain content received by the board by the former deputy superintendent, attorney Calvin Fermin.

It’s sickening to see these people with exalted positions supposedly of high moral character and integrity squirm when asked to tell the truth. Evading, obfuscating, claiming to not comprehend. She must be so proud, what wonderful example to young people.

Next installment please. I love seeing "guilty" folk squirm under scrutiny!

Watching this the MPS attorney is completely coaching this witness. He makes his speaking objection and then she copies his objection for her response.

So all you have to do is have a lawyer in the room and your GOLDEN.

A government attorney engaged in misconduct to obstruct government misconduct.... Typical

[JulieBme]

Semantics, it’s all semantics. They want it their way and nothing else. Talk about being mad that someone dare come in and flip the table upside down! Good on you Ben! Keep it up!

Why do the people responsible for managing institutions when they have to testify, the lawyers have to use a corkscrew to extract the

I just realized this woman and in another the older gentleman were sitting back arms crossed. Relying of attorney to answer for her or direct her object for 1k time.

[frankdalton]

That lawyer made a speaking objection every time he objected.

[Brucelmighty]

7:20 So the MPS attorney presumes to act according to a Protection Order that, in his own words “the Judge has yet to rule on”. WOW.

[Grayzel-Still-Standing]

This one gets a double play. Butt hurt, over paid with public money, beta attorney continues to testify.

[debbiekuether]

Privilege cannot be used as a blanket to cover everything. You must know if there was an attorney present for the purpose of rendering oral or written legal advice and it must be noticed in the Board agenda.

[GradertJ]

Does Wisconsin allow attorneys to make speaking objections repetitively during a deposition? It seems like he is trying to coach the her.

[lovelylioness]

BHC is the best advocate attorney I’ve ever heard

[JTrain]

You lawyers really get off on the pissing contest. FYI Mr BHC won that contest!

[pamcroft]

You have to "define" the word complaint??WTH?

Ermahgad…..🤯
This cannot be right - impossible to depose under this deliberate obstruction
Schrodinger’s protective order
I assume you’ve been accused of doxing? Any talk of other discipline against you? 🤔😬❤️

❤ this attorney. Start watching because of the Eskrow case. Where a Facebook post brought out the truth about the chief’s lies😂. Credit to SJVT for showing the video. 🎉

If the qualification for doing a "good job" is due to the lack of funding, wouldn't anyone and everyone who is superintendent be doing a good job? If I were superintendent, that doesn't change the funding situation. But, by this logic, no matter what I'm doing, I'm doing a good job. Also, does this mean districts with adequate funding have superintendents that are doing a bad job? 😂

Also, how on earth does she not know about any formal complaints? It has literally been in the news!!!! Is she THIS bad at her job or is she lying under oath?

Has anybody ever read Alice questioning Humpty Dumpty 🤔
