Rocknation's JournalI am forever indebted to Lansbury for teaching me how to "run a Jessica Fletcher"
(the character she played on Murder She Wrote). She would never embarrass the professionally-trained and allegedly smarter detectives she'd work with by saying, "You didn't notice that the position of the body makes it obvious that the murderer is left-handed?" She would always say, "You noticed, OF COURSE, that the position of the body CLEARLY indicates that the murderer has to be left-handed..."
Example: Last month, I told my new landlord, "I figured that your not telling us that you'd be disconnecting the wifi was a security measure since you were installing surveillance cameras. Lucky for me I have a mobile hotspot account, which I can simply deduct from the next rent!" Our wifi re-materialized within 48 hours...

Cyntoia wasn't wrongfully convicted. The evidence instantly gutted her claim
that she saw the victim reaching around underneath his side of the bed for what she feared was a gun: he was actually sound asleep with his back to her and BOTH his hands under his pillow. But I am happy for her nonetheless.
What was "wrongful" was the prosecution "making an example" of her rather than leveraging her youth via a plea deal based on manslaughter, which would have provided her with motivation to reform and had her released by now anyway.
