I'm in federal court for the sentencing of Abdiaziz Farah. He was the ringleader of the first Feeding our Future group to stand trial and also planned the attempted bribe of a juror. He will no doubt get the longest prison sentence so far of the fraudsters. Feds asking for 30+.

That sentence is just for the fraud. He could get additional time tacked on for the attempted bribe when he is sentenced for that at a later date.

Has anyone moved and switched dentists then been charged by your former dentist to forward your records and X-rays to the new dentist? I’m wondering if this practice is common and what you experienced.

Wow. Really sad to hear this. Glad I got to meet the Hulkster and interview him. For non-wrestling fans wondering, Meltzer is a legit source.

Hulk Hogan died at 71 today. He is probably the most famous pro wrestler who ever lived and more people paid to see him perform over the course of his career than any other person. Thanks for the memories.

All great points I’ve thought about. What incentive does she have besides commutation/pardon and how to ensure she is truthful? Who will question her?.

As a person who covered Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial, and who has read through pretty much every single Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit, I find the current discourse to be in bizarro land.

Muxfeldt also provided testimony to counter Mitchell's claim she was chekcing on Carol. Q: “Fast forwarding to mid-April 2024, again, just to be clear, Nicole, did Nicole Mitchell ever contact you or inform you that she was coming to check on Carol Mitchell?”. A: “No.”.

Carol Mitchell's niece Pamela Muxfeldt, who also serves as Carol's power of attorney, testified about Carol's preceeding concerns about Nicole Mitchell. The defense has prepped the jury for this type of testimony by talking about Carol's paranoia from Alzheimer's.

On the defense side, never good when police miss evidence and other people find it later. No prints or DNA collected or swabbed on pry bar or window sill.

New evidence this morning suggests Mitchell misled police about which basement window she entered (to avoid them finding the crowbar?) The window she claimed was too small for a human to fit through. Carol's friend found crowbar in other window well. Pry marks on that window sill

And a wildcard in all of it is how the jury considers the property/mementos belonging to the late Rod Mitchell. If Nicole's intent was to take those, would that constitute theft? That will be one of the first questions the jury will have to discuss in deliberations.
