I was willing to make excuses for her before, but no longer. . . .Alexis is a flaming mess.

Can we revisit the new Rule 6 again?

NRCP 6(a): "The following rules apply in computing any time period specified in these rules, in any local rule or court order, or in any statute that does not specify a method of computing time."

Does "that does not specify a method of computing time" act as a caveat to statute only, or for statutes, local rules, court orders or NRCP? Because if the latter, then, for now, EDCR 1.14 applies, which has the old Rule 6 counting regime. I tend to think EDCR 1.14 applies, but I don't want to bet my malpractice insurance on it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Some of what she is accused of includes the following: having inappropriate contact with an inmate she was meeting with to render legal assistance, provide cell. phones to such inmates and other inmates, commencing a romantic relationship with such inmate and then very publicly
threatening to have such inmate killed once problems with the relationship caused them to split up, and now this new mess involving witnesses, etc.

Now, agreed that not all this has been established as true, at least not yet. But some of it is irrefutably true and not only does she not deny it, but seems quite proud of it. When she posted abut how she was going to have the ex-boyfriend killed from behind bars, and others pointed out that such is highly improper to post, even if it were intended as a joke, she doubled down and reiterated that she was quite serious and it was not a joke. And the cell. phone being provided to the boyfriend does not appear to be in any meaningful dispute, although as to that particular charge, which originated before most of the rest of this mess developed, it my be that the D.A. was disproportionately aggressive about that particular matter. But shortly thereafter, she started taking things to a point where it was becoming impossible to have much sympathy for her, or to view her with any credibility when she continues to shift all blame to others.

If she still believes this is all simply a witch hunt against her, then why does she keep feeding the fire? She won't, apparently ask herself that question because everything she does, no matter how serious, is someone else's fault. No insight whatsoever. She is seemingly convinced that she is targeted because she is a holy crusader trying to expose rank corruption.

She also has a basic misunderstanding of how the media works, or publicity in general, which helps fuel her victim complex. She seems to have wanted to use the media, and the general public dissemination of information, only in a manner she intended, and with results she thought she could clearly manipulate. But she does not understand that the media, and the public in general, can be ruthless and they will never allow the accused, embattled individual to control the narrative. She certainly gave the media the ammunition, but seemed shocked when everything was used against her, rather than her being able to manipulate the media in the direction of having them focus on the supposed corrupt forces that are out to annihilate her.

The best, and most obvious evidence, of her failing to grasp such dynamic is when she pronounced that the media will never determine her personal relationships or who she should love. She does not understand that the media has no intention or desire to do that. They don't want her to cease her bad decisions and start making good and responsible decisions. In fact, they want her to continue doing exactly what she was doing. Contrary to what she thought, the media did not want her to split up with inmate. Quite the contrary. The media very much wanted that relationship to continue as it was a very rich and fruitful source of continuing drama, providing more to broadcast and write about. So, as to the point of her personal relationships, the media agreed with her: keep dating this guy. It's a source for continued coverage.

I think it's a complete tragedy she has let her life spiral out of control, and will apparently continue to do so as she lacks the insight to notice that the choices she makes, and the actions she takes, are hers, and no one else's. I believe she is a bright and compassionate young woman, but someone she has really lost her way. She is now in probably a very threatening, lonely, and dark place, which tends to lead to bad decisions continuing to be made.

Isn't it amazing how assholes always find each other?

Hang in there sweetie

Actually, the saddest part of the Attorney Plunkett saga is that the State Bar of Nevada will not move on her – suspend, disbarr or whatever because it would not be politically correct. The State Bar again sits on its hands and refuses to deal with the real problem attorneys in this state. The good news is that the cowardly State Bar of Nevada is not alone since this issue has come up in a number of other state bars and those state bars were just as cowardly about enforcing the rules.
