I really appreciate the timeline of events that you listed. And thanks to everyone else who provided thoughtful answers. Thanks.
This is why I posited the question here on this forum because there have been live-threads including many people following the trial intently who’d know the answer. Where my understanding has not been correct, it is very good to know what the facts really are. To my sadness, some have assumed my innocent question provocative; which is not my intent. I work very long days and do not have the time to follow these events. I have been on FR since 2002.
some people are just a little jumpy in the aftermath. not everyone realizes that not all fr folks weren’t glued to the set or internet for the whole thing. you dont’ get nearly anything substantial off regular news or even cable MSM coverage.
