In my words
“Make my website like a book of my story.”
That is what I asked for, so here it is. Every chapter runs in date order, from May 2020 to today. Every chapter shows you the actual papers: the State’s reports, the lab results, the court dockets, the orders, and my own filings. Read them and decide for yourself.
