Also, a few notes of interest:
1. There are multiple easily accessible trash bins within quick walking distance to Lauren's apartment.
A. There is a huge trash bin, including multiple smaller ones 200 feet away in the law school parking lot.
B. There is a second huge trash bin behind the ATT building next door to the apartments:
georgia ave, macon, ga - Google Maps
C. There is plenty of tree coverage and darkness along the alley behind Orange street, where many of the houses keep their trash bins.
2. During his first year of law school, SM sent out an email to the entire student body that was very strange and caused him to become significantly more of an outsider than he may have otherwise become. It was a "political hypothetical" that attacked Barack Obama and he received significant rebuking from the rest of the school.
3. Despite being ostracized by his classmates, SM continued to seek ways to participate in school and even ran for a school-wide elected position (honor court)--something that he never did during undergraduate.
4. It is my understanding that McDaniel 'intercepted' the student search team when they arrived at Lauren's apartment and did not play any meaningful role in going through her apartment or have any personal knowledge of the email that was sent out.
5. The notion that SM 'crashed' the graduation party at Fish n' Pig is silly. There are very few 'nice' restaurants in Macon and Fish n' Pig is the best one for a family that doesn't want to spend a ton of money and there were likely several families there celebrating.
6. SM is an incredibly pleasant and smart person based on my personal experiences and based on everything I have heard from everyone else who knows him.
