The case of Raul Lopez against Scientology is still going on. The case involves Scientology draining a brain damaged man of over a million dollars, including a scam with a dead ostrich. The latest is that Dan Leipold got $1,000 in sanctions against the Celebrity Center International and the Mission of Buenaventura, plus the expert witness costs that were the subject of the sanction. Scientology deposed the Psychiatrist who was hired to determine if Raul is brain damaged, but refused to pay his expert witness fee of $2,500. So the total award is $3,500.
I'm told that Scientology has asked for over $80,000 so far in sanctions against Dan Leipold, with no success so far. Now that they have the first sanction against Scientology, the second, third or fourth sanctions will be much easier to get.
The next step in the case is a ruling on Scientology's motion for summary adjudication because they're a "religion." I haven't seen the documents, but this sounds like the argument that was rejected in the Lisa McPherson case. http://parishioner.org/abuse/mccabe.html Background on the Lopez case is at http://parishioner.org/lopez -- Rod Keller / rkeller@voicenet.com / Irresponsible Publisher / Black Hat #1 Expert of the Toilet / CWPD Mouthpiece / Shelly Thompson in Drag The Lerma Apologist / Merchant of Chaos / Vision of Destruction Bigot of Mystery / OSA Patsy / Quasi-Scieno / Mental Bully / Killer Rod

People should read the Lopez account. He purchased 2 ostrich eggs. When
he went to see them, he asked, "Which ones are mine?" He was told, "We
can't tell one egg from another, but two of these are yours,
everything's fine."
After the eggs hatched, he went to view the chicks. He asked, "Which chicks are mine?" He was told, "We can't tell one chick from another, but two of these are yours, everything's fine."
When the birds had grown, he went out to see them. He asked, "Which ones are mine?"
"Oh, yours died."
It almost scans like a joke, but it isn't. It's Scientology.
