the letter from the basketball court

dear the new trial diary,

when the mail came yesterday, i just stood there and ripped it open while standing in the yard. you know, i guess watching vinnie politan all day on HLN going on and on and on about the 2003 jury murder conviction of michael peterson and how a judge ruled all these years later that he gets a new trial because a witness committed perjury on the stand and that's why peterson was convicted, i guess a small part of my smaller than average size brain got excited for a minute. but then i thought... "IT HASN'T BEEN EIGHT YEARS YET," and i finished ripping it open and began to read the very short correspondence from the court. i think i only have seven more years to wait for word of my new trial, but until then i welcome any and all communication from the court (taken under its own advisement of course.)
