Pp. 292-295<\/em><\/p>\nAs you may remember, Peter amended his complaint to include ir\u00a0tampering charges, and then Gail write a reply brief. Peter is now writing a reply brief of his own, presumably to that reply brief, and spends three or four hours every evening for a week doing so. On Friday, Sally and Jo went over it, and that afternoon Peter made his final revisions. Farris tells us that \u201cIt was twenty-nine pages\u2014just one page under the limit specified by the local court rules for briefs\u201d and that \u201cHe had until next Wednesday to get the brief filed.\u201d Presumably, it\u2019s important for us to know, once again, that Peter submitted\u00a0a quality product before the deadline.<\/p>\n
Farris tells us that the research made Peter feel better about his chances, and then goes on for a bit about how upset Peter is about government officials\u2019 legal immunity. Congress could have changed the law to allow suits against prominent officials who tell deliberate lies,\u201d Farris explains, but government officials have a tendency to protect each other in the rules they write.\u201d\u00a0But this isn\u2019t what you really<\/em> want to know about! What you really want to know about is the newspaper article we all know is coming out!<\/p>\nPeter was awakened on Sunday morning by the phone ringing. He looked at his clock. It was 7:00 A.M. It was Gwen. It was only the second time she had ever called him at home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Question: Why does Gwen have Peter\u2019s home phone number?<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter, have you seen the paper? We\u2019re on the front page of the Metro section.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I haven\u2019t seen it yet. I\u2019m surprised you\u2019ve seen it already,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad woke me at six with the news. He liked the article a lot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Question: Why does Gwen\u2019s retired father get up before six on a Sunday? Oh hey! Let\u2019s flesh his character out a bit and give him fishing buddies! Actually, this has promise. He gets up early to go out fishing with his friend, and his friend brings a copy of the paper with him, and is like \u201cHey Stan, isn\u2019t this your kid?\u201d Or you know, if Farris was writing it, it would be more like \u201cHey Stan, isn\u2019t this that beautiful daughter of yours?\u201d Anyway, Stan leans over, has to put on his glasses, and then\u2014-<\/p>\n
Oh wait. There are no cell phones, Stan\u00a0he can\u2019t wake Gwen at six if he\u2019s out fishing with a friend and doesn\u2019t see the article until he\u2019s sitting on the pier. Bummer, because my\u00a0Stan felt a lot more interesting and fleshed out as a person than the Stan we\u2019ve seen so far.<\/p>\n
Okay, back to Farris:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think?\u201d Peter asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s OK. I just feel strange reading about myself in the paper.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, maybe I should go get my paper and call you back after I read it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood idea. Talk to you soon,\u201d Gwen said, hanging up the phone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Is this typical? I get that their\u00a0case being discussed in the newspaper is something an attorney and their client should be on the same page about, it\u2019s just that this whole talking-on-home-phones-on-a-Sunday-morning thing rather seems to make their relationship a bit more cozy than an ordinary attorney\/client relationship. Oh, did I say \u201ccozy\u201d? Did I use the exact same word Bill Walinski used when proposing a \u201cmutually beneficial\u201d relationship with Gwen? Yes, yes I did. And the really funny thing is that I typed the word before remembering that it was the word skeevy pervy coercive Bill had used too.<\/p>\n
Speaking of, it\u2019s been several months now and neither Gwen nor Peter has reported Bill to the bar for what he did. Where is their concern that he\u2019ll try the same thing with some other vulnerable female client? So much for Peter\u2019s claims of being so very honorable and upstanding.<\/p>\n
Peter puts on deck shoes\u2014is that a 1990s thing?\u2014and goes across the road to the newspaper delivery box attached to his mailbox to get his paper. He quickly finds the article: \u201cMurdered CPS Official Accused Of Tampering With Documents.\u201d He takes the paper inside so that he can read it while making coffee. The article starts on the front page of the Spokesman-Review<\/em> and continues from there, and includes a picture of Gerald Blackburn being loaded into an ambulance.\u00a0Farris explains that \u201cThe S-R<\/em>\u00a0night photographer took the photo after listening to his police scanner\u201d but that the picture\u00a0had not been used before because Blackburn\u2019s\u00a0death had originally not seemed all that important.<\/p>\nPeter was pleased with the article when he finished. the facts were mostly correct, and he and Gwen were both presented favorably. The article left no doubt Gwen had been absolutely innocent of the charges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s true that Gwen was cleared at the second hearing, after Casey had been removed from her home for a week. The central\u00a0reason she was cleared\u2014that the police officer on the scene said he remembered hearing the social workers say they would dismiss the case\u2014was not necessarily the point you would have expected to clear her\u2014and several readers who are lawyers have said that part was a more flimsy defense than Farris seemed to think\u2014but I\u2019m not sure how far reporters usually go to get into the ins and outs of that kind of thing, and besides, Farris appears to believe\u00a0Peter\u2019s\u00a0defense was perfect, so it\u2019s not surprising the reporter would too.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the more interesting thing is two quotes. First, this from Allen Radcliffe, the Attorney General of Washington:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur office will review the suitability of employing immunity defenses in light of the very special circumstances of this case.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And then this quote from Tim McGranahan, a Republican state senator Farris tells us was \u201cwidely rumored to be Radcliffe\u2019s likely opponent in the next election\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf our current Attorney General insists on protecting officials who have trampled on the rights of innocent citizens by employing tactics like these, we may have to hold legislative hearings to review this matter when the legislature reconvenes next January.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hey wait\u2014what happened to \u201cgovernment officials have a tendency to protect each other in the rules they write\u201d? Farris says Congress could have changed the immunity laws but didn\u2019t because they\u2019re government officials and protect their own, but when he was writing this book Republicans controlled Congress, and a moment ago he implied that government officials as a rule have a tendency to \u201cprotect their own\u201d and here he\u2019s quoting a government official calling the defense a travesty and I am so confused<\/em>.<\/p>\nAnyway, now that the coffee is ready, Farris calls Gwen back.<\/p>\n
Gwen picked up the phone and without even saying hello said, \u201cWell, Peter, what do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were pretty confident it was me, weren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
AHAHAHAHA life before caller ID. Anyway.<\/p>\n
Peter tells Gwen the article is awesome and that the quotes from the attorney general and the state senator will \u201cput tremendous pressure on Willet.\u201d In fact, says Peter: \u201cYou can\u2019t ask for a better article than this.\u201d Next, Gwen asks Peter if he thinks Blackburn\u2019s murder is related to the case because \u201cthe article seems to hint at that,\u201d and Peter\u00a0says that the article does hint at that, but adds that\u00a0clearly there isn\u2019t an\u00a0actual evidence of a connection or that evidence would be included in the article.<\/p>\n
As I read this section, I honestly cannot\u00a0believe this is something Peter and Gwen\u00a0have never discussed before<\/em>. Blackburn\u2019s death occurred in the inexplicable three days between when the judge ordered the CPS computers examined for tampering and when that examination was scheduled, and oh hey guess what, they ultimately found tampering. You would think they would have at least considered<\/em> that Blackburn\u2019s random murder could be in some way related to the case, given the timing.<\/p>\nGwen and Peter continue discussing as follows:<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what do you think?\u201d Gwen asked again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI still don\u2019t know. Who would do it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe one of his trained witches.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would be their motive?\u201d Peter asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have a permanently silenced person to blame for tampering with the documents,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot bad,\u201d Peter said, rolling the idea around in his head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Okay first of all, good on Gwen for finally using that brain we all know she has has in there somewhere, given that she is a nurse. It would have been nice if she could have avoided referring to the CPS workers as Blackburn\u2019s \u201ctrained witches\u201d right before that, but fine, I\u2019ll take what I can get. And can I just say again that I literally cannot believe they have literally not thought about or talked about this before.<\/em>\u00a0So anyway, Gwen asks Peter if he can look into a connection, for their case, and Peter says he is<\/em> curious but that he still doesn\u2019t \u201csee how it fits\u201d and he has to be careful or Gail object on the grounds of relevancy.<\/p>\nAnd then we get this:<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd by the way, it would be better for you to stop calling them witches in private. You might slip and say it in a deposition.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And why, exactly, would that be a problem? I seriously really want Farris to actually grapple with Gwen\u2019s framing here, and her demonization of the social workers involved in the case, but I know he won\u2019t. I get, too, that some readers may feel that the way Gwen\u00a0talks about Donna and Rita\u00a0is justified given that they did try to frame her\u2014and there is absolutely no excuse<\/em> for what they did\u2014but it\u2019s at least worth mentioning that there is a widespread demonization of social workers in evangelical Christian and conservative homeschool culture, and that the language used here, and without any correction or complication, will only underscore and reinforce similar language used in these communities to talk about\u00a0social workers who have done nothing wrong.<\/p>\nGwen called Donna and Rita witches the day they visited her to check on Casey\u2019s wellbeing. This entire case would not have happened if she had not done so. Donna was completely in the wrong to fabricate evidence to\u00a0get back at Gwen for calling her a witch, and\u00a0in real life social workers would be well\u00a0used to being yelled at like that\u2014it\u2019s part of the job. I am not in any way saying that Gwen brought this on herself. It was Donna who was in the wrong, and we should be able to yell at law enforcement and related government officials if we\u2019re angry and feel our rights have been violated (whether or not they actually have)\u00a0without having frivolous charges\u00a0slapped on us as a result. But part of me can\u2019t help but feel that a very important piece is missing here.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m trying to think about what my takeaway would be, if I were reading this as a member of Farris\u2019s target audience. Now yes, I read it as a teen. I remember feeling it revealed the corruption of CPS. But I\u2019m a mother now, and I wasn\u2019t then. And you know what? I kind of feel like the takeaway is that you should cooperate with CPS, because while CPS workers\u00a0may be anti-spanking personally (and I should note that I know not all are), what they\u2019re really looking for is bruises, and it\u2019s only when you resist and slam the door in their face and yell epithets at them and make it into a whole huge ordeal that they have any reason to be vengeful or frame you.<\/p>\n
Anyway, let me just finish this bit by saying that I wish Farris would have Peter actually talk with Gwen about the language she uses for the social workers, and about her antagonism toward them, but I know he won\u2019t, and he\u2019s only telling her to stop calling them witches because it would make her look unstable and less trustworthy if she did so in court. What I think we are at least owed, though, is an actual statement of that\u2014I want to hear him tell Gwen why<\/em> it would be bad for her to call them witches in a deposition.<\/p>\nBack to the text:<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it would be really a mistake for you to ever suggest that those two CPS workers may have had something to do with his murder. They could eat you for lunch in a defamation suit. You can say whatever you want to me\u2014attorney-client privilege. But no one else should ever hear those words out of your mouth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This feels a little . . . harsh? I mean this is the first time Peter has had a conversation like this with Gwen, and he doesn\u2019t actually explain anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks for the tip. At least I have one person I can tell my secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter was silent.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry,\u201d Gwen said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s OK,\u201d Peter replied. \u201cYou said it with an innocent heart. When I shoot my mouth off, I usually know exactly what I\u2019m saying and what it implies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What even is<\/em> this?! Ew ew ew ew Peter for god\u2019s sake find Gwen another lawyer! I mean hell, you could still help with all the research, but that way she\u2019d be meeting with someone who is actually professional<\/em> with her! Run away,<\/em> Gwen, run away!<\/em><\/p>\nGwen says he\u2019s being too hard on himself and then begs off to get ready for church.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe ready to be a celebrity at Vally Fourth,\u201d Peter replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou and Aaron are the stars of the article. I\u2019m just along for the ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRight,\u201d Peter said. \u201cBye, Gwen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Okay first, I feel like this really is symbolic of the book as a whole. Gwen is indeed \u201cjust along for the ride.\u201d Which is weird, because it\u2019s her<\/em> case. Peter shouldn\u2019t be in the driver\u2019s seat here. She<\/em> should.<\/p>\nBut second, it sounds like the article mentioned both Peter and Aaron, and everyone at church knows they\u2019re\u00a0besties, so how long until someone tells the reporter that the computer expert they called in was the best friend of the lawyer making the case against the CPS workers? It seems to me that in\u00a0having Aaron be the one to look at the computers, rather than asking for an independent computer expert to do it, Peter compromised his own case. I don\u2019t think Farris sees it that way and so I doubt that will come up at all, but this is seriously driving me nuts<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It sounds like the article mentioned both Peter and Aaron, and everyone at church knows their besties, so how long until someone tells the reporter that the computer expert they called in was the best friend of the lawyer making the case against the CPS workers?
