Bob Evans, Maye’s current attorney, has emailed me about setting up a legal defense fund. He says he’ll open a bank account, and contributions could be sent to him in trust for Corey. Evans says he’d set it up so that withdrawals could be made only with Maye or his family’s permission. He asked what I thought of the idea. It sounds good to me. But I wanted to tap y’alls collective wisdom. Is that all there is to it? What are the tax rammifications for Evans and/or Maye? Seems to me some state or federal agency would need to sign off on it. But I know nothing about this. Email me if you have some expertise.
Speaking of email, I’m getting a ton. That’s wonderful. The tips, suggestions, encouragement, and advice on posting trial transcripts has been terrific. I’ve gotten so much email, in fact, that I can’t really respond to it all. Please don’t take offense. I read it all. I just don’t have time to respond to every message. Please do keep it up.
Consensus on the transcripts seems to be that there should be no legal barriers to my making them available online. I also received several offers to scan, key in, and host the files. If you made one of those offers, many thanks, and I may well be getting back to you.
The story is slowly getting some media traction. I did about an hour on the Charles Goyette Show in Phoenix. You can listen here. I’ll be doing the Alan Colmes radio show Wednesday evening at 11pm Eastern. And Dave Kopel gave the story a mention in today’s Rocky Mountain News.
I spoke on Friday with a rep from a large, prestigious D.C. law firm. At the time of that conversation, things still looked pretty good for said firm to lend pro bono assistance to Maye’s appeal. I’ll keep you posted.
I’m in a bit of a lull on this story until the transcripts arrive. At that point, I’ll have much more.
