RE: RE: Since the initial typing of this letter on August 5th, many things have taken place. I have continued to edit, and apologize about the length of the letter, but I now I'm convinced that I must help you, to help us, by making sure that no document is left out or behind; and most important, that EVERY PIECE of evidence we submit to CPS, our attorney's and the Court, is True, correct and on The Record!!<br>
