Thanks beach et al for everything you ALL do. Will you keep us posted as to the progress we make toward reaching the estimated cost? Thank you.
We just reached the estimated $1,200 late this afternoon. Like literally....I believe Tricia told me the balance is $1,200 + some odd cents! We reached the goal
before we received notice that the docs are ready! :happydance:
You guys rock for real! I mean that. Like seriously. I really had my doubts we could pull this much together in such a short time, especially considering it came only 8 days after the last notice. The devotion to seeking justice for Teresa, her girls and her family is overwhelming. :heartbeat: I get goosebumps when I think about all of the people who truly care and remain steadfast. I respect and thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.
In the best interest of everyone we're going to make a few adjustments -
There have been no new Notices of Discovery filed with the clerk since the Notice of Supplemental Discovery filed on 12/09/2015. That indicates to me that they probably dumped a huge, tremendous batch to the defense at one time. (Remember, the defense gets everything unredacted.) However, before releasing to the public each piece of paper, each photograph, etc... has to be thoroughly reviewed, necessary redactions have to be made, copies made for each requesting party, etc... I believe they are taking the large batch previously released to the defense and releasing it to the public in portions as they are able to complete the work. If my hunch is correct, it's anybody's guess as to when we will reach the end of the original batch referenced in the Notice of Supplemental Discovery.
So, what we are going to do different is - instead of "closing donations" as we usually do when we've reached the amount needed, we are going to leave it open. Mainly because trying to collect large amounts over a 2-3 day period is stressful for everyone. (yeah, I was stressed to the max over this one.
anic: :gaah:
lease: ) I don't think I am unique in saying that some weeks I have more discretionary funds than other weeks. If I have the extra money, I'd like to be able to contribute when it is convenient for myself. ('cause it's a fact that if you catch me on a week when I just put a new set of tires on my car and/or the fridge died, I'm not going to be able to spare the extra cash. :notgood
So, for now you guys have the PayPal info and can contribute whenever it is convenient for you personally. That way maybe we won't be scrambling to meet such large goals over a 48-72 hour period.
We will continue to closely watch the pace of the notices we receive via email from the SAO advising us another batch is to be released. If the pace slows down, changes or the SAO office indicates "that's all for now", we will close donations again.
Once again, a sincere THANK YOU to everyone for coming through once again. :gthanks:
Love,
Beach
