“One could imagine…” 🙄

Why did I need to know about the large storm that passed through that didn’t affect the case at all? And why do we keep speculating with shit like “one can imagine that he flashed his badge wildly, offered a shot of gin, or maybe he just threatened the officer”? It’s fine that we don’t know exactly what happened in the room.

This might end up in purgatory. Who edited this? Why did we spend like 10 minutes talking about Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini’s feud about spiritualism? And if they say cocksucker one more time..

God this is a long book
