And his mother went day in and day out to check the bodies in tijuana and finally he wondered back and finally the lawyers at a c l u, made a case t. The government was unrepent ant. The best way to do is go to the place and look at the people and be a voice coming out as best you can and say this is what i saw and on the 5th floor, some of them welldressed people i mentioned in my statistics go into a room to get advice as to how to handle their particular matter to question their connection to their children.

She goes to court, her husband has a lawyer. She doesnt have a lawyer. And her husband is accused by her 14yearold daughter of molesting her. When the hearing is over and she has no idea how to appeal. Knows nothing about the hear say rule, nothing about the law. She wonders the halls like their dead. I have seen it.
