Sorry, I tried to access the link for the rules but it said I don't have permission to access yet.
Anyway, I am a lady eastcoast dweller and a message board virgin. There, I said it. I've been in the legal field for 24 years and spent many years working as a paralegal for a criminal defense attorney. Most of his work was state-appointed, so you can imagine the clientele, felons and murderers, but it was interesting work. I loved reading the files and seeing the evidence, getting to "know" these people and the circumstances of the crime, and how these people got to where they were. Also loved the legal aspect, the research, the trial process.... Too bad the pay sucks. For the past 10 years I've been doing corporate law which pays but isn't nearly as interesting, so I keep my nose in criminal stuff as a hobby now and keep in touch with my ex-boss for the inside scoop on what's happening with his cases.
So all that is why I'm interested in the Straub/Clarke case. It amazes me that so much info has been available on FB.... we didn't have all that back when I used to do this stuff. But there's enough info on FB now to be able to search dockets and research connections between people. Sheds a light on a lot and answers a lot of questions, except for who is responsible. Hopefully that question will be answered soon!
