I am so excited to read everything you've sent back. <br /><br />I hit a snag with transcribing the trial transcripts; since some of the pictures of the transcripts aren't so good it is taking longer. I sitll have 2 portions that need to be transcribe one is small, the other probably not so small.<br />I have everything else with the exception of "Witness Impact Statement" trial transcript and the additional trial transcript chapter to be added at the end of "Competency Trial"<br /><br />I will submit the remainder of what I do have and get the other two portions to you shortly. Since they are trial transcripts - I am not having to tune into that writing space in my brain so it should be much easier if my arms and hands don't tire out. <br /><br />I am compiling this next submission into one file as we speak and worked on instructions.<br /><br />One thing missing - Jeremiah 29:11 is what got me through this ordeal. As I began to get to the late stages of writing and compiling the book, Isaiah 7:11 came to my attention. What is your opinion of having Jeremiah 29:11 as part one and then (although you haven't read it yet) part II begin with Keep Searching for Blue Jays and the verse from Isaiah?<br /><br />Also, I will let you know up front: I have been wrestling with what portions of the trial transcripts to place where - especiallly the premontions, gun chapters and there is a great deal of overlap between some of the testimonies. This morning I ran accross the firearm examiner's testimony which isn't too long - maybe that should be the trial transcript portion after GUN chapter? I have looked at and rearranged this stuff until I am close to confused. Although I don't want to bog you down, let me know if sending you the entirety of trial transcripts I have would help keep it in order in your mind (as to order at trial - which pretty much is chronological order but some without jury present - which I believe is a very important detail to readers - strong emotion is still evoked when the Hunting Journal evidence is suppressed for me - so I know it will do the same for anyone who reads this).<br /><br />I am probably over-submitting trial transcript words but I want you to be able to use whichever is the best at telling the story without bogging down the inspirational piece. I think the officer's testimony about the area and linking the neighborhoods and crimes probably packs more punch than the area described in NEAR MISS although it does capture the loveliness of the neighborhood in near miss.&nbsp;<br /><br />I will have the file for editing to you in a couple hours. I just don't have it compiled in one file as of yet.&nbsp;<br /><br />I will read your edits and finish getting the remainder of the transcripts transcribed and to you as well. Looks like we are around 20,000 words plus whatever else I submit.<br /><br />Thank you so much.&nbsp;<br /><br />Barbara<br /><br /><br />&nbsp;
