I might call her back tomorrow and leave a message for her to pass on to her boss about her rudeness to be honest.
You'll probably need to file a freedom of information request and they have 30 days to respond
If you're a dick to the assistants it'll be a lot harder
Just how fucking autistic are you op

Actually, I'm skipping it, it's a whole big thing. I realized that I am better off without the information for the time being, but I don't know how interested you guys are in minutiae of publication ban law and such.
I likely will request it sometime though, but there's no rush anymore. Anyway, she was being rude to me.

Who got raped?
>>38489657
No one, if my theory is correct.

Sweet trips
Anyway, what exactly happened with said rape case? Is the defendant someone you know, are you working with his defense?
>>38489689
No, I'm just investigating it by myself. I am not involved with any of the members of the case. I've been trying to get as much information as I can before I start sending my theory off to newspapers, but I've pretty much been stonewalled at every turn. I've now found out that there is a publication ban in effect for this incident.
That doesn't mean I am forbidden from viewing the court transcripts of course, but I can't publicize anything I find in there, it's just for my own consumption, it can't be publicly shown. This throws a bit of a wrench in my plan to ensure there are no flaws in my theory before I publish it, but I have decided to just go ahead with everything I have assembled so far and start sending it out. Otherwise, if I read the documents, I risk publishing something I shouldn't. So it's better to just not even possess it before the article hopefully runs.
It concerns this case:

what's the point of pursuing this
what do you get out of it
>>38489824
Truth and justice is it's own reward. If I am right, a girl has a burden removed from her mind and a man goes free.
That's an ideal course of events.

so you... think you're gonna get in contact with a rape victim... or that they're going to read your straight-to-geocities article... you do you. semper fi

People aren't terribly hard to find if you try, just recently I was negotiating with some nazis to obtain a rare artifact. They haven't responded to me in a while, so they might not be willing to part with their prize, but I still keep checking.

Indie, is that you?

Yup I'm going to be masturbating to Phoenix Wright tonight.
