When The Book is Thrown at Them (But Not Literally)

The Moderators of the Facebook Group called The Gallery - intended for "fans of the problematic The Prosecutors Podcast - must have been incredibly bored before I came along.

First, there was the doxing. See, I use my pen name on Twitter, and I use my Real-Life Name on Facebook - you know, the Virtual Place where my twelve-year-old daughter and my prim and proper mother like to review my behavior online. 

I mean, I was posting on Twitter and Leigh Burch and getting so many troll comments about how I'm insane, obsessed - you know, terrible all around and the like. So, I went to vent in the Truth & Justice FB fan page and admitted (using my real name) that I was interacting with The Pros Pod and their fans on Facebook using ONE name, and on Twitter using another.

This is starting to sound like middle school girl drama, I know. 

Long story short - some chic named Becca or Mandy or something doxxed me by taking a screen shot from the T&J page, and my "cover" was blown. But, and more importantly, my PEN NAME was blown. However, I take full responsibility for that, because I walked right into it.

And, there were pros and cons. My readership has increased by a large margin. And, I can still "use" that pen name. I'll have a novel coming out in spring or summer 2024, so building an audience is of pretty big importance.

But, I digress. 

So, I'm told be the moderator that I wasn't doxxed. That's some BS, man. I hadn't been this hot under the collar since the whole "PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED" half-joke that led me to receive numerous antagonistic remarks because I don't, apparently, understand gaslighting.

PS - if you tell someone they don't understand what it means to be gat lit, I'd check the mirror. You're essentially gaslighting them with what you're saying. 

PPS - It's easier said than done to get an @AliceBrett follower to look at it that way. Or, to look at really anything that their Cult Leaders don't Expressly Condone.

They aren't real great at critically thinking. Or subterfuge. Alice and Brett know this, they know their audience. 

They love preaching to a Deluded Choir. 

My final interaction with The Gallery Fan Page (which might as well be called the Gallows) was yesterday evening. Just to clue you in: I have a mood disorder, anxiety, and I struggle with SEVERE insomnia. That said, my temperament is generally warm and cordial.

I Have Been Removed from The Group - Exiled and Ostracized for the following response to Moderator David Dumas' comment to me. This involved a post where I posited that Alonzo Sellers might be Hae's killer or the one who helped bury her body. And for VALID reasons, in part based on his escalating behaviors and the proximately of his home to the back parking lot of the school, where Hae may have met with foul play.

Mr. Dumass let me know real quick that Alonzo Sellers would have HAD to have been a criminal mastermind on the level of "and Ed Kemper" for Seller's to be able to plausibly try to insert himself into the investigation.

Really?

David Dumas goes on for a lengthy reply about how I'm the one who is dumb, etc. I don't have it handy to quote it since I was banned from their page like a Pariah. You'll get the drift, though, based on my response. 

And here it is, because I got screenshots - I knew it was a bridge too far and I was going to get blocked. There's nothing more typical, more tried and truer than The Prosecutor's Podcast wanting to control the message so their listeners continue to receive a dumb downed version of whatever Brett and Alice want the truth to be.


@David Dumass,

Does a long reply get us extra credit? It's completely disingenuous to compare Alonzo sellers with Ed Kemper. You're essentially pandering to a base of group members who have decided to blindly agree with your Leaders, and, of course, they do - after listening to a very VERY well-orchestrated and one-sided presentation of "facts" that couldn't be arranged with any less context, unless Alice and Brett were told they could only continue to have relevance, but they would have to deny their Political Party.

When we take away the room for discourse in this country, we cannot complain about how far we are from a perfect union. David, you are moderating into an absolute void here - here in your safe, conservative, "it had to be the Muslim kid" and the cops never, ever conspire brand of a gas - oops, I meant ECHO chamber."

When we silence our adversaries and those who disagree with us, we lose our way as a nation, we lose our way in our careers, and we lose our way with the ones we love. 

So, don't hide behind some fantasy that you can brainwash me. I came from the taptaptap variety of people whom Brett and want to call: insane, crazy, or disparaging of the police.

In my opinion, you will be hard pressed to get the Truth & Justice army off your back, but we don't come armed with 2nd amendment, we come with transcripts and telling police reports - and we do it from a place where it's up to each of us to make up our own minds. 

I pity your listeners, I honestly do. Brett and Alice could spin any rhetorical yarn they wanted, and you all would be wearing a sweater made of vine. So, don't you dare so I'm off base - I'm no MOOD... to get gaslit... tonight. 


Thanks,

Leigh Hutchens Burch

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
