Here's An Insight

into how Mrs Bush and the squatters operate. As we noted yesterday, John Cothran, a member of the squatter group, filed a claim with the court that, although not named in the Writ of Possession, he had continuously occupied the St Mary of the Angels premises since before June 21, 2012, the date of filing of the Vestry's forcible detainer Case.

Mr Cothran, 68, is a successful Hollywood actor. He is listed in the 2012 St Mary's parish directory at an address in suburban Sherman Oaks, CA. He is married to Judyann Elder, whose web bio says, "Elder is currently married to actor and playwright John Cothran, Jr.. The two reside in Sherman Oaks, California."

Beyond that, there is no credible way in which Mr Cothran could have lived on the parish premises since before June 21, 2012. The Kelleys occupied the small cottage at the rear of the property until September of that year. While there was a small bed in the undercroft, this area was occupied by loyal parishioners during the summer of 2012, and Mr Cothran, as a member of the Bush clique, could not have stayed there.

And beyond that, Mrs Bush at that time fought to prove that there was "no residence" on the property, in order to block the Kelley Family from getting a post office box, since post-9/11 regulations require a street address in order to get one.

I simply don't know how Mr Cothran or Mr Lancaster will try to explain to the court that Cothran has lived on the parish premises since 2012. I can see no way he can do this without bearing false witness -- something the ACA bishops have repeatedly condoned, if not directly encouraged.
