Josh’s attornies wanted to find out if there was any activity in this grand jury case at all, other than just holding Josh in [...]
This blog post was actually written October 3rd, 2006. The post was somehow misplaced after it was sent out and we are uncertain whether it ever arrived.

If any of you are going to be in Memphis, please look for me. I am getting help from Sue Salinger, Free Speech TV and Jeff Perlstein, Media Alliance, and will be staying at the Artisan Hotel. I’ll be wearing my Free Josh t-shirt and I’m really short. Maybe I’ll see you there, Liz Wolf-Spada [...]
