First, I still side with Royal on this.
I had that same question when I read it. There should be absolutely nothing political in this.First, I still side with Royal on this.
Second, why did the writer of the article need to specify which President appointed which judge?
Last but not least, I wonder how much of this "let's appeal" is coming from their lawyer vs the family.
This very much looks intentional by the way that they reacted. They were VERY quick to file a lawsuit and they said that they stood behind the step grandpa. If anyone killed my child, especially in such a careless manner, you would have to hold me back from wringing their neck. I wouldn't be surprised if they planned the whole thing thinking that they would get a pay day. We have seen worse behavior from parents.if the family has any say in this appeal they should withdraw it and be thankful grandpa received only 3 years probation for a guilty plea to negligent homicide. my only even remote reasoning for the family to agree to pursuing this is either-
pure greed or
absolute revenge towards the grandfather who would certainly be called upon to testify and be grilled/forced to relive for hours if not days on end retelling his horrific negligence in the child's death.
Are we back on this again? So you think they planned a family trip to San Juan, paid for flights, hotels, plus the cruise with the INTENTION of killing the toddler? Not only the parents, but the grandparents were in on it? SMH.This very much looks intentional by the way that they reacted.

People have done worse and we know it. Why do you think that it is out of the realm of possibility? If your step dad intentionally dangled your child 11 stories and dropped her, what would you do? Would you defend him and immediately sue the cruise line? And then keep trying to sue even after he was convicted of killing her? Do we all not live on the same planet and see the atrocities that people commit?Are we back on this again?

Because the linked article came from Courthouse News, “a nationwide news service for lawyers and the news media.” Federal judges are lifetime political appointees, so the facts of their appointment will always be relevant to a legal audience reading law-related news stories involving them. Three different presidents were referenced, so it’s not like it was a dig at any one in particular.Second, why did the writer of the article need to specify which President appointed which judge?
Have parents killed their children? Of course. But, find one example of parentS putting out thousands of dollars, AND getting THEIR parents involved in the conspiracy in order to kill a child.People have done worse and we know it.

They're still trying to blame the cruise line because the alternative is unthinkable.
No doubt.These parents need some intensive therapy if they are still playing the blame game with the cruise line this many years after this happened.
I think blaming a cruise ship makes it so they don't have to blame family. This is a very sad situation.I completely agree. These parents seem so desperate to make money off their child's death, it's gross.

So what sort of an idea does it give you on how the judge will rule in this case?Because every presidential administration has a certain judicial philosophy for most of the judges who are appointed under the president's term. It's a short-cut for court watchers to guess how a specific judge or justice will rule.
