McLean, Stevens ‘Insulted’.
A Boulder couple who lost part of their million-dollar lot in a land dispute has filed a motion accusing their neighbors of fabricating crucial evidence.
"These people have committed fraud on the court," said Don Kirlin.
Don and Susie Kirlin said they have new evidence their neighbors, Dick McLean and Edie Stevens, deceptively created a path on the vacant lot next door after they sued for it.
McLean and Stevens have said they've used "Edie's path" for the last 25 years to access their back yard with no objection from the Kirlins, a crucial part of their adverse-possession claim on the land.
Edie's path is clearly visible in one photo taken in 2007, but the Kirlins said another photo taken before the suit was filed in 2006 showed the path didn't exist.
"There was no path; there wasn't a hint of a path. There wasn't even a broken weed," said Don Kirlin.
They've also found aerial photos.
The one taken in 2007 clearly shows the path. The Kirlins said the one taken in 2006 does not.

I saw no path on the historical aerials I looked up. I do hope they get a new residence behind bars.
“These people have committed fraud on the court,” said Don Kirlin.
I did not see any paths on the earlier aerials .
This gal sounds like a real sob sister. Whether what they did was technically legal or not it was morally wrong. I believe they're both POS's.
She must be a good lawyer, too.
Lots of crying for the camera.
Their neighbors who know them best must have the same low opinion of these DUmmies ?
The people are thieves. AKA lawyers
Litigious-minded people are a curse on the U.S.
Usually, they’re the most shallow, dense, vindictive, and ultimately useless humans imaginable, but they have the money to get their rocks off by hiring equally-venal lawyers to do their bidding.
Edie's path is clearly visible in one photo taken in 2007, but the Kirlins said another photo taken before the suit was filed in 2006 showed the path didn't exist.As soon as these scummy lawyers filed their suit, I'd have killed them, disposed of their bodies, and had an iron-clad alibi and no witnesses. Or something. Thanks george76 for the update.
And when I'm Dictator of the World you will be able to do that and you won't NEED an alibi...
I'll hang a medal on ya!
This case sounds familiar. I think the judge was a friend of the claimants who originally won.
Path or no path, the common sense application of “adverse possession” usually requires “adverse possession.” A path just doesn’t cut it. They would’ve had to go in and cut the grass, put in a garden, built a wall, and declared by completely taking over the land as if they owned it; and if the legal owners do not contest such blatant possession of the land by the squatters, then they have “adverse possession.” Anything less than that is just trespassing.
heh...
Disgusting people. To think we actually had some FReepers defending these slugs. Thanks for the ping. Glad to hear the new info.
Trying to pull a Hillary.
A lawyer? Fabricating crucial evidence and committing fraud on the court? Be still my beating heart. Lawyers take an oath to seek the truth, don’t they? This can’t be true.
What site do you use to obtain these photos?
We had a wierd one up here in NY and the attorneys were stunned with the decision. The judge really wasn't given sufficient information and made a bad decision. No appeal was made because of funds.
Kinda the same situation though...an attorney sought the land and "likely", the judge was an acquaintance at the least.
the next shoe .
