Oh yeah, as a Law Student - Holy fuck. I doubt that paper is worth the ink that was used to print it.Then there's the fact that Carol signed off as both parent and attorney on the contract. Pardon me if I'm completely wrong on this because I am not a lawyer but that sounds all kinds of illegal or at least definitely not how things are supposed to be handled. That Amy never singed off on it also seems incredibly suspect as to the document's actual legal worth.
Well. Thankfully there's a nice independent senior partner of a different law firm that might be willing to make a deal with Amy....Oh yeah, as a Law Student - Holy fuck. I doubt that paper is worth the ink that was used to print it.
Not only is there a conflict of interest, but from the general sound of things, New Wave is supposed to be a nonprofit - so using the funds gained from Amy to support a political campaign is an entirely separate level of illegal. The fact that Amy hasn't signed it is a problem as well...
In short, from what I know of the law (which reminder, I am just a student still), any court in which this contract was actually brought up in would throw it out with prejudice.
Not that it would be brought up in a court, because any kind of discovery would start finding inconsistencies with Amy's history. The entire fact that she is a long term kidnapping victim would come out.

Well, it turns out that parents can sign both as parent and attorney.Then there's the fact that Carol signed off as both parent and attorney on the contract.

I mean, that's not even a verbal contract, not given the situation.Didn't Marquis ask Brandish to take care of her after they arrested him? His enemies would never guess that he'd handed off his daughter to the heroes who arrested him.

Yup. Carol needs a 40 calibre trepanning. I hate parents like these. Their kids often end up troublemakers and drug addicts who spread the misery to everyone around them. Even the social workers trying to help.Sparing Amy from choosing who lives and dies: I'm tentatively on-board.
Carol justifying her actions because Taylor is "a villain", completely ignoring that Carol helped make her that way... *Sigh*
Believable and infuriating.
Plus, with Taylor's machines becoming advanced enough to absorb biomatter for power, creating devices to manipulate it, as well having Panacea more or less "teaching them" to do what she does with the tech available via the BCI capabilities of a Focus would be just dandy."Amy… you are the walking answer to world hunger. You can create crops to survive in any environment. You can develop vaccines and cures for things that thousands of people suffer from. You could break this whole medical industry over your knee and make sure that millions of people live better lives… and instead? You're patching up gangbangers in the ER."
Any person under the age of 18 (in most states) lacks contractual capacity. If a minor signs a contract, they have the option to see it through or void it at any time.
He should be alive in a coma. Not only can he be a mentor later but the coma itself can be a driver for Taylor. If she has access to the immortality tech then should should have the entire Horizen medical tech base as well. She will know that if she can push out the medical tech then she can heal him and get someone high in politics in her corner.Either way, I'd like to hear your guys' thoughts, I'm not at the point where I'm writing that outcome, but it's something to chomp on and I'd just like to see people's thoughts. I do have an opinion on the direction, but I'm relatively easy to talk into a different outcome, as you can see from the fact that I've been nagged into considering on my Discord lol.
