I have been surprised by my own emotional response today. The POWERFUL images of Allison's family of origin having leave, finally, to directly address Allison's killer (poor dear Mods, having to go back through the past two years' output and remove all those 'alleged's) without disruption, deflection, disingenuity. His Honour, himself very respectful of women, letting rip. Those balloons, ascending to Heaven to join she whom they honour. The overwhelming scale of human wreckage one man can create.
THANK YOU to Websleuths, our hardworking Mods, you incredible collective of brainy, brawny, witty sleuthers, especially our esteemed experts and those who typed their little hearts out to keep us up-to-date. This forum has, in my opinion, proved itself as the most reliable, respectful and intelligent of all.
Now, if I apologise for my nervoustensionfuelled gags about the deliberating jury, will you allow me to say a little 'see? Lawyers aren't ALL bad'? Ta, that felt good
Finally, thank you all for creating a welcoming place in which to have a conversation about JUSTICE FOR ALLISON *advertiser censored*
