Yup. If you have the docket sheets, which are more than ten pages, you can see the subpoenas especially the larger number of folk at the beginning, and more as it progresses. Apparently a stenographer was hired for the whole deal.
So, all those testimonies are valid in any case or for the sake of any upcoming online museums like wikipedia.org.
It would be really neat to gather a group of historians and see what happens when another open public timeline is made for something like wikipedia.org. At wikipedia.org anyone can change documents that pertain to people like Reagan or Bush, and link it to anything else. I think its like some online thesaurus or something. Very extensive.
Anywhom, I already asked GregFL if he would be willing to lead a group of fact gatherers for such an event. Anything that entails such an undertaking would include cases on microfilm that may be donated, insurance names gathered, and a more precise history in one full report of all the goings on with Straight before and after and inbetween.
It could be just like the report the historians created for the Rosewood Incident. I spoke with a couple of the historians and their leader who wrote the full history and facts pertaining to Rosewood Incident and what transpired after, and read the report. It took the historians a long while to gather information that was scattered or was word of mouth or from old newspaper clippings. I remember one told me how they as historians were constantly disagreeing on facts and actually argue and decide on what was what and what went down. Very informative stuff.
Now, I am no historian. If you've seen my in'your'face website it looks like I'm preaching to the choir. But, the thing of it is I don't really care if it hasn't gotten much press but here and some other places in Canada.
However, I have been told that I am very anal and retentive and the two of those at once sometimes as well, as far as details are concerned I don't rush or like to be rushed.
What I'm saying is that if anything ever did go down with a full report on Straight, I would be asking for first or second in line to put aside bitter resentment about Straight and merely report the facts like we do.
Its not the first time I've heard people tell me, too, that Straight really taught me (besides all the total garbage they put into me) beyond what they probably intended for me, to look deeper and really dig and take time doing that. Up to the last several years I probably used that talent to no good of my own, but searching for facts about a chop shop and creating a history can only be healing me thinks.
And, now that I'm done babbling so much - I noticed that you did time with Karen. wow. I mean, not wow, but to corroborate a story like that would be intrensically worth...well, I don't want to put a value on something like that because it has nothing to do with value but it would be worth something to see which words are the very same and the same stories and all of this. I dunno, you know what I'm saying.
