Any body in the "Windy city" have time to get transcripts of the arraingments, indictments, and other court transcripts?
Now that Brown has started the "spin" on the PR front, this documentation can be of use in tearing down the web.
If this case holds true to "pedophile" cases performance in the past, testimony will be given about the accused's character, etc. Congregation members and elders will be called to verifiy practices and doctrinal veiws.

What did the elders know and when did they know it? Why did'nt they protect those kids? Cook County takes kids from less abusive situations daily cause people in the know care. The local JW leadership must not care or that baby would be alive today.
How does somebody beat 5 kids regularly with out the elders knowing? Hell, they're worried and first too know if a couple of kids "make out " a little. They hunt you like a dog if you catch their wrong dates and ask for a "recount" out loud.
We know why- does John Q Public? The WT needs to account to our neighbors on this one. If the rank and file got hammered on this at every doorstep this weekend it would be a blessing. John Q just needs the story in every media market to draw his own conclusion about the "good news" deliverd to his porch.
They know if you talked to a DF'ed cousin or something-yet- ignorant of systematic beatings.---spare me! Just the sheperds I'd leave my sheep with.
As a policy they can't claim to have the clergy's protection to confidence of confessions (they aint Clergy, remember)
This CHILD SHALL NOT DIE IN VAIN! Lets Kick this one hard folks!
