I just sent my letter. I may post it here later.
I had another thought about this reporter. I'm still thinking she may have a connection to the witnesses. While it may just be slight paranoia on my part, I still think she was allowed quite a bit of access all things considered. I noticed that she didn't speak to any non-witnesses. In fact, the only counter argument she offered was from a non-witness. Coincidence? Hm.
