  • Translation of the Judge’s letter:

    Dear Alllison,

    Let’s drop this like a hot rock. I really put my foot in it and I’m getting massive bad press. Court is dismissed. All rise!

    Oh yeah, tell the Grand Jury, thanks for being so prompt and coorperative.

    Love,
    Judge Brenda

  • Hey "Columbo", If this reporter was going to steal the bank info but already had the check routing and account numbers to write them on the subpoena, why in the hell would he need the subpoena in the first place?

    Enjoy looking stupid.
