We are still investigating how these items were to be used, but you can rest assured they were not for peaceful purposes.

It's not Burger King. The defendant can't have it her way.

She knew what she was doing.

The key, she was central to the grand jury investigation. The information she had -- it might have been that someone was innocent or that someone did something wrongfully -- but she had information, no doubt about it.

She craved the spotlight. She enjoyed the attention. And that was probably her real reason for not testifying, not those lame excuses.
