written opinion letter, Judge Robertson ruled in favor of Mr. Parrish “by clear and convincing evidence.”
Several months later, based on a simple motion to reconsider, Judge Robertson inexplicably had all par-, ties return to the courtroom. No new evidence was submitted and no witnesses appeared. In an extraordinary and stunning second opinion letter, Judge Robertson reversed his original opinion 180 degrees. After several more hearings, opinion letters, time, and expense. Judge Robertson issued his final decree, effectively landlocking Mr. Parrish anti in my view making him the victim twice.
During the course of these lengthy proceedings, Mr. Parrish’s efforts simply to maintain access and to receive guests at his home were well documented.
You might expect that a person thus provoked without cause and forsaken by the legal process would be angry, bitter, and vindicative. On the contrary, Mr. Parrish’s response eloquently illustrates the prinicples that have guided him and the generosity of his motives throughout the whole process. We who witnessed, testified, and supported Mr. Parrish hope that the moving and amazingly conciliatory tone of his letter will result in some reflection, not only by his neighbor, but also all those involved in the judicial system. We hope that such reflection will carry us into a new era of real justice in Rappahannock County.
