to be clear: the karen made a horrible, bigoted transphobic statement and got the prosecutor to scream it in court. if i could get that statement, it would prove my case beyond a doubt.

but, it was removed from the transcript, and removed from the audio, somehow.

and, now the cops are telling me i can't have it - because it would be releasing evidence that could incriminate her. i need to get it via court order.

so, that's actually some progress, even if i can't get it.
