The hearing for the restraining order requested by Councilmember Kimberly Bergel against Cornelius Lowenstein is still going on. She is calling Eric Bergel and Councilmember Austin Allison as her witnesses. Lowenstein is the only witness his attorney Arlie Capps is calling to testify.
Unaware that there are cameras on the second floor, Eric Bergel glared at me walking out of the courtroom. Quite different from the demeanor he is presenting on the stand. Quite ironic considering he is a witness for a restraining order request .
Councilmember Leslie Castellano is still here. Councilmember Natalie Arroyo and Mayor Susan Seaman were here.
We are on a break while Capps and Lowenstein view a video Bergel wants to play in court.
Using Eric Bergel's logic of what classifies as a "threat", I have an email saved from 2014 and a particular sentence. The difference between Eric and me is that I know what the law is and burden of proof.
That's because he doesn't like anyone saying negative things about Kim. You aren't biased in her favor. He attacks people on Facebook for criticizing her publicly. He threatens people.
ReplyDeleteHe also has a problem with facts.

DeleteI am not saying any such thing. Do not twist my words for an agenda. I have no side in this issue. I am trying to update today's court hearings and other news and getting that information out is my priority.
DeletePretty sure Cornelius is free to rant and call her names on his own Facebook page all he wants.
DeleteShe has the right NOT to stalk his page and obsess over what he may be obsessing over. If her skin is so thin, GTFO!If her husband has to threaten people who criticize her, he's a problem, too. Trying to prevent a man from voicing his concerns in the public meetings because it makes her look bad or she can't handle the constant criticism, GTFO! The solution is not to try to squash someone's First Amendment rights. And if she wants to keep trying to do that she's going to have a bigger fight on her hands and she wants. She hates that he criticizes her in front of the community twice a month. Because making her look bad just isn't working out for her. Rather pathetic.
I was attacked by Eric Bergel on facebook multiple times, as recently as last week even on Kim Bergel for mayor facebook page. He called me names that would make anyone blush, insinuated I was insane, and that they should sue me for a restraining order, because I disagreed with Kim on her web page, and then another friend of hers threatened to call my work, which kim has conveniently deleted. Several years ago he was even worse then that. He called me extremely vial names and told me to move out of town for disagreeing with her.
