A Review Series of Anonymous Tip<\/a>, by Michael Farris<\/strong><\/p>\nPp. 185-193<\/em><\/p>\nIt\u2019s Saturday, and that means Peter is going to have dinner with Gwen and her parents (plus Casey, of course). First, though, Peter spends the day in the law library writing up his federal civil rights complaint so that he can show it around the table at dinner.<\/p>\n
After his conversation with Aaron, he realized that when he really focused on his responsibilities as Gwen\u2019s lawyer, his mind did not wander as much. Having the lawsuit completed would give him something substantive to talk about. . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Peter and his wandering mind, I tell ya.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Peter is wearing sweats and tennis shoes while he does his research, and that of course won\u2019t do for dinner. Handily, he had his dinner clothes in the car. He still needed somewhere to shower, though.<\/p>\n
He drove a few blocks to the Spokane YMCA where he and Aaron regularly played racquetball. Even though he was a decade older, Aaron was his stiffest competition. Today there would be no game at the Y, just a quick shower and on to dinner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And there you have it, another location for your Spokane guidebook.<\/p>\n
But, um, also this:<\/p>\n
His navy wool trousers, blue-and-white striped shirt, and light-blue patterned sports jacket were perfect to bring out the color of his eyes, he thought with a touch of vanity. It was difficult not to think about trying to impress Gwen with his attire and looks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Um, okay.<\/p>\n
But like, didn\u2019t Peter realize, during his chat with Aaron, that\u00a0this whole thing with Gwen was dangerous? Shouldn\u2019t he be walking briskly in the other direction?<\/p>\n
Peter stopped at the flower shop on Grand on his way up the hill to Gwen\u2019s house. It was the polite thing to do, he convinced himself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Peter. Peter Peter Peter<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cCome in,\u201d Casey said when she opened the door. \u201cThank you for coming to our dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lines had been rehearsed at least fifteen times throughout the day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
She speaks!<\/p>\n
Gwen was just a few feet behind her daughter when Peter stepped through the front door. She was wearing a long-sleeved pink cotton sweater and a long, flowing silk skirt patterned in shades of pink and light green. Peter swallowed, said \u201cHi Casey,\u201d then looked at Gwen, completing his thought. \u201cDon\u2019t you both look beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d Casey beamed. \u201cIt\u2019s my new dress.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Apparently,\u00a0describing<\/em> Casey\u2019s new dress takes too much ink.<\/p>\nGwen greets Peter, and Peter thanks her for the invitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are for you,\u201d he said, presenting the flowers he had been concealing behind his back.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, they\u2019re beautiful,\u201d Gwen replied.<\/p>\n
An awkward silence was interrupted by the appearance of Gwen\u2019s father from the kitchen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You bet<\/em> it was awkward.<\/p>\nAnyway, Gwen complements her mother\u2019s cooking, and her father, Stan,\u00a0responds by saying Gwen cooks just as well. Oh yes.<\/p>\n
Stan\u2019s statement sounded a bit too much like a sales pitch\u2014exactly as he intended it\u2014and a second awkward moment followed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
*headdesk*<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, how\u2019s my favorite client?\u201d Peter said, squatting down to Casey\u2019s eye level. \u201cI am really glad you are back with your mommy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Casey smiled shyly and grabbed her mother by the knee, twisting her body\u00a0back and forth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So wait, which is it? Casey just greeted Peter at the door, exclaiming in excitement about her new dress, and now she\u2019s so shy she can\u2019t say a word? I mean on some level I get it. I have a three-year-old. They can be complicated. I just don\u2019t feel like Farris has ever sat down and hammered out Casey\u2019s personality one way or the other. Because he probably hasn\u2019t. Either way, I\u2019m disappointed not to get more dialogue from her. Are we never going to hear about her time in foster care, or her feelings on the matter?<\/p>\n
Anyway, Casey and Stan sit and chat with Peter while Gwen and June finish getting supper on the table (gender much?). Once they all sit down to eat, Peter finds out that no one wants to talk about the lawsuit until after Casey is in bed. So, Peter compensates by inviting the whole family to church the next day. They acquiesce, figuring they owe God one. After dinner, Gwen puts Casey to bed. The grownups encourage Casey to give Peter a goodnight kiss, which sounds awkward. If I had a dinner guest and my kids were going to bed, it\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0even occur to me to ask\u00a0them to kiss said guest.<\/p>\n
I thought about ending the post here, most of the awkward moments over, and covering the after-dinner legal discussion next week, but then I realized you guys probably want me to skim that section anyway. I don\u2019t want this series to turn into some sort of boring plodding. So, onward!<\/p>\n
Peter hands each adult a copy of his complaint and says he plans to file the suit early the next week. He explains that the CPS\u00a0case was in the state court system, but that he\u2019s going to bring this case in federal court, as he believes the judges there will be less biased. He describes the suit\u00a0as a civil rights case. And in case the lawyers in my audience are wondering, no, he doesn\u2019t once ask<\/em> Gwen, Stan, or June what they<\/em> want to do. Instead, he tells them exactly how their legal strategy is going to work. It\u2019s very clear that he has already decided what he is going to do and isn\u2019t interested in input.<\/p>\nThe goal of the lawsuit, Peter explains, is threefold: to get damages for harm suffered, to have the court make an order prohibiting CPS from entering homes without a warrant, and to have attorney\u2019s fees awarded by the court. Peter explains that he has\u00a0named three people as defendants\u2014Donna, Rita, and Blackburn. He explains that Blackburn was the supervisor at the CPS office. \u201cI called there anonymously and got his name,\u201d he says. I guess things really were more complicated before the internet!<\/p>\n
Anyway, Peter explains that the lawsuit can only cover things that took place before the CPS workers filed the lawsuit, as what happened after the lawsuit was filed was covered by \u201cqausi-judicial immunity.\u201d This means they can only sue for the initial \u201craid\u201d on Gwen\u2019s home, and the strip search, but not for the week-long separation while Casey was in foster care. Gwen doesn\u2019t think this is fair, and Stan declares it stupid, but Peter explains that it\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n
Peter also tells Stan and Gwen\u2014June\u2019s not saying a word and I am starting to wonder if Farris has forgotten she\u2019s here\u2014that exigent circumstances (basically, emergency situations) are an exception to the warrant rule, and that whether exigent circumstances applied in this case will become an issue in the lawsuit. Did the social workers have good reason to believe that Casey was in imminent danger? Peter says that will depend in part on whether the tip was called in anonymously, as anonymous tips are generally seem as less reliable.<\/p>\n
As I read through this section I\u2019m annoyed by moments like this:<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there are two complicated rules which affect all this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFigures,\u201d Stan said. \u201cIt was sounding too easy to understand.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And this:<\/p>\n
\u201c[explains why anonymous tips are less reliable.]\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I don\u2019t understand it all,\u201d Gwen said, \u201cbut it sounds like you do.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
These comments, sprinkled throughout, become ingratiating after a while. Does Farris really have to keep reminding us that lawyers are Super Smart and Educated and laypeople are simply not capable of understanding the nuances of specific situations?\u00a0I\u2019m pretty sure we all know that law can be complicated, but I\u2019m pretty sure we\u2019d all like to have a lawyer willing to explain the situation to us without needing us to constantly remark on how very smart he<\/em> is and how very stupid we<\/em> are.<\/p>\nAnd then there\u2019s this:<\/p>\n
\u201cThese kinds of lawsuits are very rare, and hard to win. I\u2019ve never done one exactly like this before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As the lawyers in my readership have noted, a good lawyer will pass a case outside of their area of expertise on to a more qualified lawyer. Peter does not do this. To his credit, he does mention that he has an associate who once worked as a federal prosecutor who will be able to help him. \u201cLawyers don\u2019t always know all the rules, but we are expected to be able to find them and understand them,\u201d he explains. \u201cI think I\u2019ve got it all down, but there are people more experienced than me.\u201d Gwen says she doesn\u2019t care if there are more experienced lawyers, Peter got her Casey back and he\u2019s the only lawyer she\u2019ll ever have. Cue the music.<\/p>\n
And, at long last, June speaks!<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I think it is high time we had some of this strawberry angel food delight,\u201d June said, standing. \u201cGwen, come on and let\u2019s get the dessert and coffee.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So basically, June is my grandmother. Got it.<\/p>\n
Anyway, at this moment two things happen. First, Gordon calls, but he\u2019s drunk, so Gwen has June hand the phone off to Stan to deal with him. Second, Casey has a nightmare. Weirdly, Peter got there before Gwen\u2014perhaps, because Gwen was in the kitchen, which must have been further away. Peter picks up the screaming Casey\u2014 \u201cThey\u2019re under my bed. They\u2019re under my bed. Mommy! Mommy! Don\u2019t let them get me!\u201d \u2014and comforts her as the others look on. \u201cNobody is going to hurt you,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I\u2019m way bigger than those mean ladies.\u201d In about three minutes, Peter successfully rocks Casey to sleep and lays her back in her bed.<\/p>\n
Gwen just stood there in amazement. As Peter made his way to the door, it was obvious that Gwen was not going to move. As he approached her, he reached out his hand, grasping her arm gently to rouse her so they could both leave the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter,\u201d she whispered. \u201cYou are wonderful. You are truly wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter\u2019s head was swimming. It was the closest they had ever been. He could smell her hair and feel her breath. He lingered. If only her parents had not been in the outer room . . . how he desired at that moment to kiss her with reckless abandon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you\u2019re more than wonderful,\u201d he whispered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Um. Wow.<\/p>\n
First of all, Peter is completely blowing it when it comes to his convictions. He\u2019s already decided he can\u2019t marry Gwen because of her divorce\u2014oh and by the way she\u2019s still not a Christian\u2014and here he is, our hero, deliberately putting himself directly into the line of temptation. From a purely secular perspective, he\u2019s toying with Gwen when he shouldn\u2019t be\u2014if he\u2019s decided he can\u2019t be with her he shouldn\u2019t be leading her on\u2014and furthermore, he really<\/em> shouldn\u2019t be getting involved with her at all when he\u2019s her lawyer.<\/p>\nBut second, if I had a dinner guest who didn\u2019t know my kids over\u2014who had only met them once or twice, and only as a professional and not as a friend\u2014I would think it very strange if that dinner guest were to enter my children\u2019s bedroom and rock them back to sleep after a nightmare. I\u2019ve had situations where a guest moves\u00a0to comfort one of my kids if they fall or hurt themselves nearby, but only to immediately turn it over to me and never with this amount of\u00a0physical contact. What Gwen reads as sweet reads to me as weird at best, and creepy and concerning at worst.<\/p>\n
But Peter\u2019s a Good Christian, so why worry, right?<\/p>\n
And there you have it. An awkward end to a\u00a0very\u00a0awkward dinner.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
