I have zero facebook followers, new there, too. But if it's worth sharing, someone just tell me how.

Been trying to weed Facebook out of my life as much as possible, given their "profit above all else" business tactics. But will check it out if you start putting stuff up!

Do we have to wait until Charlie is in a nursing home before he is charged?

Saw this today. Wonderly is selling these podcasts like hotcakes. Their first, Dirty John, was widely successful on tv and now they have signed A-List Actors this new project. We know Over My Dead Body was sold. I can't wait so I went ahead and cast it. Who am I missing?

"or any Japanese body pillow will do if she’s not available" Hahaha, I'm dying!!! Well done! Personally, I prefer Connie Britton over Julia Roberts but that's because I'm a huge CB fan. And definitely, Glenn Close for DA.

Reallybusy, I think we're destined to be friends.
Brilliant ... I'd vote Danes for the W role. Or Jessica Alba (with blue contacts in).
Cast some more! Garcia ... Cappleman... the judge.... GO!

Glenn Close, she would give them hell. ;)

She says she’s so tall that it’s tough to find tall enough men to date. She boasts of being 5’9” plus. But unless her 5’9” brother is ALSO wearing heels on their date here, I’d say this is another (literally, this time) tall tale.

OVERSIGHT. I completely forgot Saam Zangeneh. For now, I'm casting Rami Malek.

SZ.png

In honor of my unintentional removal of Zangeneh from any relevance to this case, I'd like to revisit the breadcrumb he tossed to the public right after his client's conviction.

Start at 2:10. https://www.wctv.tv/video?vid=562861122

"Now that Garcia has been convicted with murder, three of the Adelsons should be quite nervous."

HMMM. The specificity of that statement is something.

Charlie: Check
Donna: Check

Is the third he's referring to Harvey or Wendi?

He was referring to Wendi. But Harvey should be ashamed of himself for skirting attention despite equal complicity.

Who wants to start something big on Twitter? One million trophy points (or at least, unending pride points) to whoever gets the most retweets on this one. Additional points for fun hashtags and @s. Include at least #Ghibercz so I can track it.

Side note: do any of the other candidates accept stapled cash donations?

Johnston & Stewart donate expertise, dig in for ‘Markel’ grandparent visitation push
''The act of moving nimbly and having feet firmly planted is an art — one that our friends at the new Johnston & Stewart Government Strategies are showing themselves unusually adept at.

The most recent example of this quality in Jeff Johnston and Amanda Stewart is close to the hearts of many: halfway through Session, they sign a new, pro-bono client — Justice for Dan, a group of friends of murdered FSU law professor Dan Markel, whose children and parents were cut off from one another by his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, after authorities revealed she and/or her family were under investigation for orchestrating his murder, leaving his parents with zero options for recourse because Florida law provides no access to courts for grandparents in these situations.

That’s a mouthful, and just about as complicated as it sounds. To complicate it more, though, there’s no easy statutory solution for providing grandparents with any rights even in terrible circumstances such as this.''

“It’s exciting to have the guidance and expertise of Jeff and Amanda on our side,” said Justice for Dan founder Jason Solomon. “Our group deeply appreciates their generosity, professionalism, and passion for seeing this through.”

There’s certainly some urgency, and Markel’s friends are hoping there’s still a solution in sight this Session.

A year in a legislative cycle may not be long. But a year in the lives of young children and aging grandparents, kept apart unnecessarily, may as well be a lifetime.''

Ooof. I haven't seen that one yet. So, she's a CK (Calvin Klein) girl.

I'd be remiss if I didn't say I have been tinkering with ideas about a more strategic and impactful way to illuminate this case. Nothing has really stuck.

Re Wendi as the third Adelson, if true, then in the words of Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, "Wendi, you in danger girl."

Care for a co-tinkerer?
To reference the same..... There's some chains that need rattling.
(Strategic, impactful rattling at that.)
