Yesterday afternoon the jury asked a question about exhibit #23, which
is the one where I am replying to Magoo (back when she was still in
Scientology):

You have a point. The only way I can get clear of this scientology
mess is to "destroy them utterly."
So: This week I will be back picketing gold base. Correct me if I am
wrong, but you picketed my house 5 days and my wife's place of work 3
days, so you get 8 days of picket for this plus however much seems
appropriate for the latest victim.

PS, please don't send any more counter picketers who are subject to
epileptic attacks or fainting spells.

In trial Jim Harr stopped Robert Schwarz from having Wagoner (I think)
read the last five words, "appropriate for the latest victim" into the
record because it would have been a violation of the court's order not
to mention the women who have been killed out at gold (specifically
Stacy Moxon Meyer since this was written two days after she was
electrocuted and before her name was known.)
The other thing is that no mention of fair game was to be permitted by
the court. Well, it is a slight misquote, but does anyone here doubt
for a second that I was referring to the last three words of the fair
game policy "of course, if possible, ruin him utterly" in what I put
in quotes?
Using the opposition's words when you respond is the *very heart* of
political debate and had no relation to any kind of real world threat.
I was using this well known quote to point up the ugly reality of
scientology.
It seems possible the jury is making my (slight misquote) of
*Hubbards* words into a threat against scientology / scientologists,
when, of course, it is a threat *by them* against critics!
I am going to ask Jim Harr to put in a motion for a mistrial this
morning based on DDA Schwarz violating the court's orders. We planed
my defense on the assumption that we could not use either fair game or
any mention of the reasons I was out picketing last summer. DDA
Robert Schwarz violated *both* of the court's orders in exhibit #23.
