[Niner]

I won't be here Thursday and today I have a meeting this afternoon at my office. No worries Niner, there are very detailed summaries being posted in articles. I also bumped the twitter links so others can follow along when you and I are not available to post the tweets.

Just wave :seeya: when you leave - and I'll pick up the tweets on the Conley retrial tweets!

 

[Niner]

Maybe Undiscovered Truth could pick up the tweets for Thursday, if I'm not here. We shall see what she says when she appears later. Don't know how "early" or "late" this will be for her....

To buy colchicine from Spectrum Chemicals you have to be a legitimate business and must submit a letter of intent to use. #ConleyRetrial


Cara Thomas‏ @CaraThomasNews 1m1 minute ago

CopperHarbor is a distributor for Spectrum Chemicals - buyer must still prove they are a legit business even if purchasing toxin through CH.

Replying to @CaraThomasNews

Because it matched, they found it to be a legit business and their intended use letter lined up with why other businesses buy colchicine.



Cara Thomas‏ @CaraThomasNews 30s31 seconds ago

Defense reads through list of safety precautions while handling colchicine - Capetta says he’s not an expert on how colchicine affects you.
