Slightly OT but somewhat related to this case: I'm only on page 11 of this thread and LOLing at all the drooling over the hot detective from Yreka who testified this morning. (And yes, he is).
Back in 2011 there was a murder trial in my area and I attended some of it. One of the detectives was very handsome (I had noted this a couple years before the trial started when I saw his pictures). Anyway, once he got on the stand during the trial some of the ladies of WS started referring to him as "Detective McDreamy." I too started to call him that online.
Wellllll....turns out some of the county courthouse personnel were reading updates on WS and saw that and were only too happy to share the new nickname with the detective and all his LE coworkers. He got teased and teased for it by his fellow detectives--face turned bright red every time (which only made him cuter, IMO). He opined it must be a "bunch of grade school girls saying that," and I assured him in no uncertain terms it was most definitely not and these were grown women, some perhaps old enough to be his mom.
The chief of police (female) also knew about the comments and agreed with this assessment (she and I spoke at a party and she was aware of these comments and was amused, to say the least). I had joked for a few years before the case went to trial that I wanted him as my lawn boy and it turns out she had read that. :blushing: I told the hot detective it was all in good fun and his LE cohorts were just jealous. I'm not sure how his wife felt about it--I think he was teased from all sides.
Soooo...you never know who is reading and how it might get reported back. As I told that detective, "there are certainly worse things to be called in life than "handsome" or a "hottie" and perhaps the next step was a People Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" cover. Hehehehe.
