"through the anal cavities of time"


october 28th

Now LOOK, to ALL concerned it is EASY to stress me out. My nerves are SHOT. What makes me UNIQUE is that STRESS doesn't STOP me. (I came back from kitchen to find my room racked again)…. And last night they sent a goon SQUAD into the pod 1 1/2 hours after we went to bed. TOOK us all to the gym for strip searches. They did it to other pods at 4 a.m. recently. This stuff is NOT the normal routine.  And my room gets THE WORST. TORNADO. And the guy who borrowed Pelican's, "25 Ramsey mistakes" says it was taken from his room while we were at the gym for strip searches. Temper, temper.  WE had another lock down after lunch today. Now listen, I've been here for a long time, I can't say WHY with pure accuracy, this crackdown is happening. But I've left out A LOT of it day by day because it seemed TOO conspiratorial. But it's clear to everyone here that this is NOT a normal period. Most of these guys have been here SEVERAL TIMES a YEAR for YEARS. The routine is KNOWN and this AIN'T IT. And when this chit started about a month ago, it was one thing, but now inmates are very openly grumbling that this MUST have something to do w/R. preparation. It doesn't meant they KNOW the RAMSEYS will be here, but it seems clear, the sherriff's Department thinks SUDDENLY it's a good idea to be prepared.

So tired of sitting in the gym last night (lift up your scrotum JR!).

Now back through the anal cavities of time to my court appearance of January 16th, 98 wherein I pleaded guilty and got 2 years and no credit for 7 MONTHS of waiting. It's a small tidbit, but TELLING. Okay, so my wretched public defender, Laklin, and I, and Lou Smit and TRIP Demueth emerged from this conference room where we hammered out the final DEAL which was WAY worse than it was before SMIT became involved. We go across the hall to the courtroom (where a hysterical PR will one day explain it all) and we sit around waiting for Judge Bellipanni.

The Ramseys HAD to be notified of the DEAL by Colorado law before I can plead guilty. So therefor I just realized that the court appearance that I'm speaking of actually took place a few days BEFORE January 16th. Okay, So at this one all we're going to do is say we've reached a settlement and asked for a continuance to Jan.16th. Laklin asks DeMueth about the logistics of getting the Ramsey notification done so quickly. DeMueth said "That's EASY." He looked at me and KNEW he'd been indiscreet because he saw my eyes open wide at seeing a DA saying it was so EASY to contact the Ramseys. END.
