I am SO grateful you are taking on precisely a case like this. Being charged for a crime based on anything other than objective criteria is wrong. I loathe pranks (because it is very disrespectful and selfish) but I also think that you aren't a criminal based on subjective feelings. Thank you. I really look forward to hearing how this case results. Your the first person I've heard about that is taking on a case like this. I don't hear about much but still, this is welcome, welcome news.
